"Everyone, don't be like that. I also felt very happy spending this summer break with you all." Looking at everyone's thanks, Takeru stood up and said seriously.
Seeing the smile on Takeru's face, everyone smiled knowingly, feeling how lucky they were to be friends with Takeru.
However, then came a bit of melancholy. Because he was so outstanding and dazzling, there were simply too many girls around Takeru. They wondered if they themselves ever had a chance...
Gathering on the beach naturally wasn't just for chatting. Soon, with everyone's efforts, several grills were quickly built.
Takeru was very generous. He directly entered his portable space, hunted several Red Haired Pigs, Elephantboars, and Pig Rhinos, and caught a batch of Mushroom Frogs, Ruby Crabs, and Boneless Mackerel Pike.
Then, there was a new drink, Rainbow Juice. Seeing Takeru bring out new juice, everyone quickly tried it.
They were soon conquered. And Rainbow Juice paired with barbecue was a better match than Moomoo Milk. Everyone enjoyed it immensely.
Akame, meanwhile, set up three grills, placing three prepared Elephantboars on them, quickly roasting them whole.
As the Elephantboar meat began to turn golden, the aroma quickly spread, making everyone eager. Besides that, iron-plate Red Haired Pig meat was also quickly enjoyed by everyone.
There were also Mushroom Frogs, which had a mushroom fragrance, and deep-fried Pig Rhino meat. Everyone had serving after serving.
Filo, Koyuki, Hana, Kurome, and Raphtalia constantly moved between the different areas, enjoying the various foods, their faces full of happiness.
By nine o'clock, everyone was extremely satisfied, lying on beach chairs, watching the surging sea, feeling very content.
"Um, Takeru, can you come with me for a moment?" After everyone finished eating, Yuta came to Takeru's side and asked softly.
"Yes, is something the matter?" Seeing Yuta's arrival, Takeru asked with surprise.
"Yes. I have something I want to give you." Hearing Takeru's question, Yuta spoke quietly.
"Is that so? I understand." Looking at the slightly nervous Yuta, Takeru was startled, then directly took him slightly away from the crowd.
Arriving in a quiet forest, Yuta took out a few small earthworms and some special strawberries. The earthworms were about fifteen centimeters long and looked very clear and transparent.
Seeing this, Takeru directly used his Reincarnation Watch to inspect the information on the two items.
[Mineral Earthworm: A peculiar earthworm whose body is composed of up to 99% water. It can survive solely by absorbing water. Moreover, its special metabolic organs can purify all harmful contaminants in the water it drinks. It can allow heavily polluted soil to regenerate into arable soil. Additionally, mineral water extracted from several Mineral Earthworms is also an excellent pure water beverage.]
[Stratum Corneum Strawberry: A strawberry that grows a tuft of fine, hair-like strands from its stem. Eating this fruit increases hair growth rate. The rate and amount of hair growth are very considerable. It also makes hair shiny and smooth, without split ends or dryness. The taste is fragrant and pleasant, sweet and slightly sour.]
"Yes, you're giving these to me?" Looking at the two items, Takeru showed a smile.
Although the value of these two items was not high compared to many items in his portable space, they were still treasures, adding to Takeru's collection.
"Yes. I'm glad they can help you. I think these things can bring out greater value in your hands. And this can slightly repay you for your help to me and Kuzuha." Looking at Takeru's smile, the somewhat nervous Yuta finally relaxed.
"Thank you. These are quite useful to me." Hearing him say this, Takeru said seriously. As he took the Mineral Earthworms, Takeru noticed they were still alive, surprising him. He asked Yuta the reason.
"This? After I pulled them from a lottery ticket, I kept them in the Reincarnation Space's personal space. I only just took them out." Hearing Takeru's question, Yuta spoke directly.
"You can do that?" Hearing his words, Takeru was stunned. He hadn't expected items could be stored in the Reincarnation Space's personal space.
"Uh, yes. But there are restrictions. Items must have been obtained from the Reincarnation Space. And to take them out in the main world, you need to pay 100 points for a handling fee, basically needing to go inside to get them. Also, once taken out, you can't put them back in." Seeing Takeru was unaware of this, Yuta quickly explained.
"I see. Thank you." Hearing this, Takeru roughly understood the intent of this Reincarnation Space setting.
Simply put, because the item bar couldn't carry living things, but sometimes you pull a living thing at a bad time, you could temporarily store it in the personal space.
"No, I should be thanking you for all your help." Hearing Takeru's thanks, Yuta quickly waved his hand, feeling unworthy.
Seeing this, Takeru smiled and led him back to the beach. Seeing Takeru and Yuta return, the others smiled slightly, roughly understanding what had happened, but didn't say anything. Instead, Taihei stood up and walked towards Takeru.
"Takeru, I also have something to tell you." Coming to Takeru's side, Taihei scratched his head and said.
"I understand." Looking at Taihei's expression, Takeru smiled and nodded, understanding his purpose was probably similar to Yuta's.
"Then I'll go back first." Seeing this, Yuta quickly said and returned directly to Kuzuha's side. Hachiman, seeing him return, smiled at him but didn't ask what he had gone to Takeru for.
Arriving at the place where he had talked with Yuta, Taihei didn't waste words. He directly took out a huge elephant and placed it before Takeru.
[Regal Mammoth: A giant mammoth known as the Treasure of Ancient Food. Its growth rate is quite fast. At birth, it is about 10 meters long. After a few weeks, it can grow to over 50 meters. Although its fertility is relatively low, once it reaches a certain age, it has no natural enemies in nature, making it very long-lived.]
[It can live for over 500 years and never stops growing until death. Besides the most delicious 'Jewel Meat' on its body, the meat from other places is also very delicious.]
"You're giving this to me?" Looking at the Regal Mammoth before him, Takeru took a deep breath and asked Taihei again.
"Yes. Unfortunately, it was already dead when I drew it. I heard Miu, Yui, and the others discussing that monster corpses like this are important to you, right?" Hearing Takeru's question, Taihei nodded directly.
The mammoth before him was less than twenty meters long. Takeru understood that this Regal Mammoth had probably died from unknown causes not long after birth and was then drawn by Taihei.
"Yes. These special monster corpses are indeed very useful to me, especially monsters that can be considered high-grade ingredients." Hearing this, Takeru nodded directly.
Gently touching the dead mammoth, Takeru could feel it still had some residual warmth, indicating it hadn't been dead long. That meant, through time reversal, he could probably revive it. Even if he couldn't revive it, Takeru could use creation magic to make a pseudo-Regal Mammoth.
"Is that so? That's good. Then I'll leave this with you. I'll go now." Hearing Takeru's words, Taihei showed a gentle smile.
Watching Taihei quickly leave, Takeru was startled, then showed a knowing smile. It seemed his earlier investments were really worthwhile.
But Taihei's luck was too good. Whether the Regal Mammoth or the previous Tree of Life, neither were ordinary items. However, the Regal Mammoth's growth time was an issue. Takeru had ways to accelerate plant growth, but accelerating living creatures was more difficult. (T/N: Changing World Tree to Tree of Life. It seems I've translated wrongly before. Sorry about that.)
But there were still ways, like using time acceleration.
However, continuously using time acceleration on living creatures would put pressure on Takeru and consume a large amount of mana. Another disadvantage was that some living creatures might have adverse reactions to time acceleration, making them more likely to be short-lived.
But for a Regal Mammoth, he could probably try. Quickly thinking, Takeru directly put the giant Regal Mammoth into his item bar, completely stopping its time.
