With less than half a month left until the Holy Grail War, most Masters had already summoned their Servants and began to "cultivate their relationship" with them...
Takatsuki wasn't sure if "cultivating a relationship" was the accurate term, as some pairs were training together, some just lived normal lives, and others were completely free-range. There was even one group that hadn't summoned a Servant.
That's right, it was Cocolia.
Takatsuki had peeked several times and almost couldn't resist going out to tell Cocolia not to use the Holy Relic, but to just let her own compatibility randomly pick one from Throne of Heroes.
This guy always prepared for a long time before each summoning, and she didn't know where she got the Holy Remains through connections, but these targeted items made it impossible to summon any Servants.
Yang Yuxin was still undergoing special training with Fu Hua in Shenzhou. Fu Hua seemed to want Yang Yuxin not only to gain basic Honkai Energy manipulation abilities but also to have the ability to join combat.
And Yang Yuxin's talent was also very strong. According to Takatsuki's observations, it was exaggeratedly strong. In just half a month, she gained Sword Heart and even trained to the second of the Five Aggregates, Form Aggregate.
What kind of exaggerated talent is this?
One must know that Takatsuki cultivating Divine Aggregate was purely a shortcut, and he didn't even use Honkai Energy.
At St. Freya Academy, originally, they also underwent over a week of special training to increase combat synergy, but later the training rhythm slowed down. After all, for their family, the time for family reunion naturally couldn't always be spent in the training ground.
Like a certain pink fatty, they chose to go on a trip during the remaining time.
However, this trip, which was originally supposed to be for reunited family members, included Takatsuki.
"So why did you bring this smelly brat along?"
Siegfried said with a somewhat stiff tone. Originally, Siegfried had quite a good impression of Takatsuki.
Among other things, Welt highly praised him, and he also took great care of his daughter, and even helped him find his daughter whom he thought had died due to his own fault, so he originally liked this young man very much.
But he never expected... the son-in-law he thought was Ryoma's would actually also snatch his own little cabbage!?
When he found out about this, Siegfried almost pulled out the Divine Key of the Flames to give Takatsuki an awesome attack.
Siegfried himself was not good at hiding his emotions. In fact, he had already raised his fist at that time, ready to teach Takatsuki a lesson, and then he was knocked down by Cecilia with a punch.
Although she was his wife, and they were quite loving, that was actually before Cecilia's death.
After Cecilia's death, Siegfried's series of idiotic actions after losing the real Kiana caused Cecilia to be very dissatisfied with Siegfried after she found out.
But no matter how much dissatisfaction, it was still suppressed after the reunion, and her daughter had not only grown up and become so excellent, but also multiplied, which also made her temporarily not pursue those past matters.
Although she was slightly dissatisfied with Takatsuki's promiscuity, her daughter's choice, coupled with Cecilia's observation, made her quite satisfied with Takatsuki. So, when her husband looked like he wanted to break up the couple, she unhesitatingly punished Siegfried, and also settled the matters she hadn't settled with Siegfried before.
This led to Siegfried not daring to do anything more, no matter how dissatisfied he was with Takatsuki snatching his little cabbage, but he still didn't give Takatsuki a good look.
"If it weren't for Takatsuki, who would send us here?"
Cecilia was still a little dissatisfied with Siegfried's tone: "Siegfried, be nicer to Takatsuki. If it weren't for him, our family wouldn't know when we'd be reunited."
Siegfried clicked his tongue, feeling a bit of a toothache, and didn't dare to say anything.
"Bianka can also use... Alright, alright, I won't say anything."
Siegfried still wanted to be stubborn, but after Cecilia glared at him, he quickly shut up.
To facilitate his travel and the transportation of YoRHa, Takatsuki left his Nen all over the world, thanks to the help of the two Anti-Entropy scientists.
Nen, in the end, is a type of energy, and the two doctors are very good at this aspect.
After studying the stones Takatsuki left as beacons, they discovered the Nen on them and understood the essence of Takatsuki's ability.
And they created a storage device that could preserve this energy for a long time.
Originally, Nen exposed to the air would slowly dissipate over time, but when stored in a container, it could be preserved for a long time. According to calculations, the Nen stored in it could be preserved for about a year.
Moreover, with specialized containers, Takatsuki could also have YoRHa transport the containers at once for him to fill with Nen, and then place them at various connected strongholds.
Durandal, who was authorized by Takatsuki to borrow his abilities, could naturally also open channels to these locations.
Because of his previous experience, he didn't dare to revoke the permission, otherwise, he would probably have to kneel on a washboard.
And today's journey was to Cairo, the capital of Egypt.
A familiar place...
"Takatsuki, this place is very similar to the Cairo we've been to, but it's also a bit different."
Today's destination was the pyramids and the Sphinx to the southwest.
Kiana suddenly said as they walked along the road.
"Of course, it's the same place, but the era is very different."
Kiana was naturally referring to the city where they once fought Dio in the Jojo world. After defeating Dio, they briefly traveled and gained some understanding of Cairo.
"Kiana has been to Cairo before?"
Cecilia asked curiously when she heard their conversation, and even Durandal looked over.
"Yes, I went with Takatsuki to another world once, and Mei and Mr. Joseph's friends were there too."
Kiana excitedly told Cecilia about their first trip.
"We set off from Hong Kong together, and our destination was Cairo."
Flamescion, who was listening nearby, felt a little envious.
Although she had also spent two wonderful years at St. Freya Academy, those two years were also two years of wasted growth for her.
During those two years, the three of them barely grew stronger, and although in the following year or so, their strength rapidly increased under the strong pressure around them, she would rather not have had those strong pressures.
She had thought more than once that if she could have power, those past tragedies wouldn't have happened.
And her counterpart in this world not only had new companions but also was much stronger than she was at that time.
"Takatsuki, after the Holy Grail War ends, can we go to other worlds again?"
Durandal, listening to Kiana's chattering narration beside Takatsuki, whispered to Takatsuki.
"Of course, no problem, but why do you suddenly want to go?"
"You said the time for the Finality's arrival is approaching, right?"
It was approaching, but it was only 2015. Although Finality hadn't arrived when he transmigrated, it was estimated to be around 2017.
"I estimate there are still two years left."
Durandal nodded: "Time is short. I want to use the time difference between the two worlds to train, and if I want to defeat Honkai... perhaps using energy that isn't Honkai Energy would be better."
Before, there was no choice; only Honkai Energy could be used in this world. But now that a new path had opened, Durandal naturally didn't want to put all her chips on Honkai Energy.
"Good!"
Durandal's face flushed, and she suddenly lowered her voice and mumbled even softer, "And, Ai also..."
Takatsuki didn't hear the rest of her words, because the terminal on his body suddenly rang.
When he opened the terminal, Theresa's figure appeared: "Takatsuki, can you come back for a moment? Grandpa... wants to communicate with you."
