"I'm very happy that Dad cares about my birth, but because it was interrupted, it's quite troublesome for me to be born now. Unless there's another opportunity like before, for now, I can only use the most troublesome, but also the best method: collecting the wishes of all living beings. Even the Third Magic in the Holy Grail can't make me descend, or rather, I don't want to descend in that way. So, I'll leave the Third Magic to you, Dad. I've already put it into your body."
"Let's not talk about that for now. When there's an opportunity, I'll tell Dad. Now that I have my own personality, I can give Dad some special treatment in the system. Originally, I could only instinctively sense the crises Dad was in and provide some help with gacha pulls. Now, this is controllable. Isn't that amazing?"
Upon hearing this, Takatsuki immediately said, "Really? Then… those SSS-rank cards."
"None."
"????"
Ai sighed, "I can't help it. Dad, you probably noticed it too, you rarely draw SS-rank cards, and you've never drawn an SSS-rank. So Dad isn't too keen on drawing cards, because it really doesn't provide much improvement at the current stage. No matter how many items of the same rank you stack, you can't break through a certain limit."
"That's actually because there are no SSS-rank cards in the current card pool at all."
Takatsuki was dumbfounded. You don't have them, but your card pool says you do. This is fraud.
"But didn't I make some in the card pool?"
"Dad should still remember that pocket watch, right?"
Ai suddenly said, "Don't you realize something when you see that, Dad? All the things you made are already damaged because of our transmigration."
Takatsuki suddenly fell silent: "Why did we transmigrate?"
"I don't know."
Ai said very irresponsibly, "When I had instincts, I was already in Nagazora, and the system's records also show this. I only learned about Dad's past through Dad's memories."
"Wait a minute?! You can read my memories!?"
Takatsuki suddenly realized something. It was no wonder Ai called him stupid; he was indeed excellent at being slow and foolish.
"What's so rare about that? If I didn't know Dad's memories, how would I know so many things? But for me, Dad's memories are like watching a movie; they don't affect me. And Dad, you're really a big fool, only realizing this now."
"…"
"Sigh, foolish Dad, let's not talk about that. Let's continue with the card pool. Actually, the things I can draw now are very limited, because these things are copied and drawn from other worlds connected to the system. So, the worlds Dad transmigrated to are all worlds where you once drew things from, because the system is connected to them."
Ai was helpless with Takatsuki, but she still tried her best to explain to Takatsuki: "The current system cannot produce SSS-rank items yet. SS-rank is actually very difficult, and even if they are produced, they would be among the weakest."
Ai's tone was full of regret: "Dad, you also know that the system consumed a lot of energy, but you don't know where it went, right? That was used to connect to other worlds and to repair the system to improve its performance, because the program you wrote was really too simplistic."
Takatsuki felt a little guilty after Ai's words.
"That's pretty much it. Does Dad have any other questions?"
Takatsuki thought for a moment, then shook his head.
"Foolish Dad."
"?"
Takatsuki didn't know why he was suddenly scolded again, but Ai had no intention of explaining and instead said, "I've prepared a gift for you, consider it a birth present. Dad, just draw from the item pool. The first S-rank item will be it. I can't adjust the drop rate, so good luck, Dad."
A daughter preparing a birth gift for her father?
Why does that sound so strange?
However, Takatsuki still listened to Ai and opened the item pool. After seventy pulls, he drew the gift Ai mentioned.
[Multiverse Card Box][SS]
[Multiverse: By consuming one Multiverse Card, an existence with a karmic connection to the wielder can be summoned. Its existence time is determined by the wielder's power difference with it. The summoned existence is a projection of the main body and will not affect the main body. The summoned being can choose whether to transmit memories back to the main body.]
[Infinite: There are twelve Multiverse Cards in the card box. One is generated every day, with a maximum of twelve.]
"This was forged using my ability to connect to other worlds. The Multiverse Cards can be taken out and given to others, but even if taken out, they will still occupy the twelve-card limit. And 'every day' refers to the objective twenty-four hours in the time-space Dad is in. Time-stopping to refresh cards won't work, you know."
Ai began to explain the origin of this item to Takatsuki, but time-stopping to refresh cards? Takatsuki scoffed, he couldn't even stop time!
Multiverse Card Box…
An item that does not occupy an equipment slot, or rather, this thing cannot occupy one even if it wanted to.
Equipping it has no other effect. The Multiverse Cards are consumables, and the card box has only one ability: generating one card every day. This works anywhere.
"As for this… I'll give one to Bianka."
He drew a card from the card box. The Multiverse Card looked somewhat like a Class Card, but the image on it was not a class, but a silhouette of a person.
As Takatsuki imagined, the silhouette on it transformed into Durandal's image.
"Determining the summoned person through imagination?"
Because he had just thought of Durandal, this card transformed into Durandal's image. Takatsuki felt that as long as he summoned, he could summon Durandal's projection.
However, how long it could be summoned for was currently unknown; perhaps he would only know after summoning it.
"Dad is very responsible, you immediately thought of Mom when you got something good. I'm very happy."
"…"
Takatsuki did not reply to Ai's teasing. He didn't find it strange. He considered himself a responsible person. Since he had decided to be responsible for Durandal, he wouldn't shy away from it. Of course, this depended on Durandal's own thoughts, but since Ai said she could accept it, Takatsuki had no other reason not to consider her.
"Hehehe, Dad, you still have a the Gate of Babylon, right?"
Ai suddenly said.
"Yes, this one overlapped with the one I drew from you."
"Hehe, actually it doesn't overlap. Although it's a bit wasteful, this the Gate of Babylon isn't bound to Dad in the form of a key, but as a special ability, a kind of energy information data. Although it's a bit of a waste, Dad, you can tear this thing apart."
Ai explained with a giggle, not knowing what she was happy about.
"But in that case, the almost infinite the Gate of Babylon will become finite. Dad, you have to think carefully."
"Wait, you mean I can tear this ability apart, and after tearing it, I can give it to others?"
Takatsuki didn't understand Ai's meaning at first, and it took him a while to grasp what Ai meant.
"That's right, because Dad's Love Train is a bit unreasonable."
Ai affirmed Takatsuki's statement. Although she didn't know if Ai meant it that way, Takatsuki already had an idea for this new the Gate of Babylon.
