Versatile: Alternate World



The elves immediately started moving after teleporting while the girls are still a bit stunned by what happened. They still haven't comprehended the event that happened making them stay still for a while, still blinking and confused about what happened.

"Yo, guys? What are you all spacing out for? We are here, you know?"

When I said those words to them, that's when they started to realize what just happened and started touching their bodies and looking around.

"Hey, Manato, you sure we have arrived?" Riko seems to still believe we are still in my room.

"Yeah. You can even check on your GPS where we are right now if you don't believe me," I chuckled as I put all of my clothes and items that I carry out of the bag.

Riko fumbled in her pocket and pulled out her HoloPhone and hurriedly check the location. The other two also peek at Riko's phone and confirmed that we are indeed currently in Nagoya now.

"Wah? Wait... what? That quick? We already reached Nagoya in just a blink of an eye?!" Riko still couldn't believe it.

"Why are you all surprised? With how much you guys have been using Teleport scrolls and the teleport station, this should be just a norm for you guys right now," I scratch my chin as I looked at them who are still confused.

"Of course, we are that surprised. Teleporting from one place to another in Alternate World is the norm but here in our world, something like that has yet to exist and I wasn't even expecting that it would work the same way as the teleportation system in Alternate World!" Rika was amazed and still confused at the experience.

"[We shouldn't be surprised. If magic exists, teleportation will sooner or later exist as well. With how much Manato seems to understand magic, he is already far on the development of the magic system in this world.]" Pandora pulled out her sketchbook and said her piece words.

"Yeah, I think Pandora is right. Since magic exists, teleporting doesn't have much difference either. But if the government knows this kind of stuff, pretty sure they will take advantage of this to travel around the world without the need for a vehicle and wait for a few hours before arriving. Just one single teleporter and everyone is good to go," Riko slowly accepted it and has already made some assumptions as well.

"Alright, guys. Enough chit-chat. This is my room in the mansion that I bought in Nagoya and have given this to my parents since I don't stay here but since both of them are here and they run a business here as well, giving this place up is the right decision for me. Anyways, we should greet my parents. By now, they should have heard the noises we are making here now."

A few seconds after saying that, the two of them rush to my room and open up the door while carrying weapons and stuff.

"Who are you all people?!" my father carries a frying pan and a knife while my mom is currently hiding behind him.

"Yo, yo, relax Dad. It's me, Manato. I already told you we are coming right? Don't tell me you already have forgotten already."

When my parents realized that it was just me and my friends, Father dropped the knife and frying pan and hugged me. Mother followed suit as well.

"What the heck, Manato? I know you like surprises but this is really a big surprise even for us. How the heck did you all end up here without us even noticing you all entering the house?" Father looked puzzled.

I chuckled as I explain what we have done. The girls and the elves followed my Mother to their own rooms as the mansion is big enough like the mansion back in Tokyo and enough for all of us. Father was the one who listened to my explanation as we head to the kitchen Father was currently cooking lunch for us in anticipation that we might arrive during lunch hours only for us to arrive a lot sooner.

"Ho, so you already set up a magic teleport portal for you to use in case you needed to get back in here and visit?"

"Yeah but since life has been so busy, I barely had the time to even visit which is why the portal didn't get any particular use until now."

"Can we also use that? We already learned a bit of magic and we have a decent amount of mana based on how we should do it so that when we visit Tokyo, we don't need to wait in line or ride the bullet train to get there."

"Yes. I connected the teleport circle to the teleport circle back in Tokyo allowing anyone who has mana to use it and transport from here to there without any problems. You and Mother can use it as well."

"Oh yeah, I just noticed that you bring along the elves as well. So those are the elves you rescued before?" Father asked when he saw the three go out of their respective rooms.

"Yes. They wanted to tag along as they have been holed up at home without going anywhere else aside from the garden and occasional shopping with the girls, they barely have any experience going out far from home. This is a good opportunity for them to experience and explore other places other than the mansion."

The two of us decided to finish cooking lunch. I helped out in finishing it since my cooking skills have improved a lot now and I am confident with my skills as well.

We are still in the middle of cooking when the big burly bear went outside of the room, scratching his head despite the fact that it was not even a real part of his head and it was just a teddy bear he is possessing.

"Oh, hey there big boy, you looked like you woke up from the wrong side of the bed today."

The Kigurumi just nodded and scratches his belly before heading to the refrigerator, but stops when he saw me.

"Yo man, how long has it been? Have you gotten stronger? "

The two of us approached each other and performed a bro handshake that the two of us have made.

"Looks like he is very enthusiastic about it. Never thought he would be this energetic of seeing you," my father was surprised seeing how the Kigurumi suddenly got recharged with energy.

"Well, it's been a while since we met, it's normal he would be energetic as well."

I noticed the Reality Verse Nexus Tattoo on Kigurumi's right arm. If I was not aware that it was not a real tattoo and it was more of a magic circle engraved on any surface, then I might be ignorant enough and question why a teddy bear was able to get a tattoo.

"Ah, that's right Father, I have something to say to you and Mother. Ah, you too Kigurumi, I needed to discuss something, its something important and also one of the main reasons I visited as well."

"Oh? Something to discuss with us?"

"Yeah. But later this evening. Not now."

"Alright then. I don't know what you wanted to discuss but it seems pretty serious. Anyways, let's continue cooking. Your mother would be totally furious if until now the food has yet to be finished cooking."

"Gotcha. Anyways, Dad, want to compete who can finish the most dishes cooked?"

"Aw man, you would literally scrub me to the floor with that alone. Spare me on that competitive streak of yours and let's just cook properly. You know that I am not that good at cooking when being pressured like that," Dad chuckled nervously after teasing him.

The girls also came out from their respective rooms alongside Mom and all of them are enthusiastically talking to each other.

"Hey there guys, it seems you two are having fun. Mind if we join?" Mom grinned mischievously at my father.

"Oy Mom, I know that you two are lovey-dovey but please do that once we are already asleep or not around alright?" I chuckled.

"Tsk, tsk. Son, I know that you are still inexperienced in love, but next time, you needed to know that this kind of conversation is normal for couples like us. You will understand once you get your significant other."

"Nah, that is still miles away from happening, I will not understand it just yet."

Still, even though Mom said those words, I still think it would be miles away from happening. I don't think I am ready to dive into romance again just yet, especially with how I am burdened with a task that only I can do and solve. But perhaps if all of this is over, perhaps I can also start over and find myself my significant other. But for now, I needed to focus on the tasks at hand. And that is to convince my parents to help.
