A Combee has three bee faces within its three hexagonal honeycomb cells, the two upper faces each having an antenna, and each of the two upper faces has a wing on its side.
"Bee bee~!" Over a dozen Combee buzzed around Takeru, appearing very lively. Fortunately, Combee looked quite cute. Otherwise, facing so many bees surrounding her, Miu would have felt overwhelmed.
"Alright, build your hive in the garden's edge area. Your task is to produce honey, understand?" Looking at Vespiquen and the Combee, Takeru directly said.
"Ves pi~!"
"Bee bee~!"
Hearing Takeru's words, Vespiquen and the Combee cried out and flew down from the rooftop to the garden to survey the area. Because Takeru had imbued Vespiquen with Earth magic, building a nest was not difficult.
Due to their size, Vespiquen and the Combee naturally couldn't live in wooden boxes… they needed a cave-like nest.
Soon, Takeru sensed movement below. An earthen mound rapidly rose, and under Vespiquen's ability, it transformed into a small hill. Then, an opening quickly appeared...
Since its chosen location was the garden's edge, with some later decoration, its cave could be disguised as a rockery without affecting the garden's appearance...
Watching Vespiquen and the Combee busily working, Takeru continued selecting a canine corpse.
Under his mana's control, it quickly transformed into a massive dog again.
Fluffy beige fur covering its face, its eyes turned brown. Its body had tiger-like black and orange stripes, fur encircling its legs, and a long tail. Most importantly, its size directly reached 1.9 meters, taller than Takeru.
"Roar~!" Looking at Takeru, Arcanine excitedly cried out, then lowered its head and continuously nuzzled against Takeru.
For this Arcanine before him, Takeru had imbued it with Fire magic and Wind magic, allowing it to run very swiftly and agilely.
After manifesting Arcanine, Rem and Ai came to the rooftop and told Takeru breakfast was ready. Takeru then realized the time had reached 7:30. Thinking this, he led everyone downstairs.
As for Arcanine, due to its size, Takeru had it jump directly from the rooftop to the garden to serve as a guard dog from now on...
Hearing Takeru's instruction, Arcanine barked once, jumped down, and dutifully fulfilled its obligation.
On Takeru's side, after enjoying a delicious breakfast with everyone, he greeted them and directly took Miu and Ai using magic to teleport to their apartment home.
"So amazing! When will Ai be able to have such an ability?" Watching Takeru teleport her and Miu from the villa on the city's edge to the apartment, Ai said with emotion.
"That depends on opportunity." Hearing Ai's words, Takeru said with a light smile.
Within the Ninja System, the ability capable of spatial movement was the Flying Thunder God Technique. However, Takeru currently didn't know Flying Thunder God Technique, and directly exchanging for it from the Reincarnation Space wasn't cheap. Moreover, its training was said to be extremely demanding.
As for other spatial movement abilities, there was Yin magic's Gate, and purer Space magic. However, Takeru didn't know the latter at all and could only see if there was an opportunity to learn it in future worlds.
"I understand. Ai will work hard!" Hearing Takeru say this, Ai said with full fighting spirit.
"Alright, let's head out." Since they had already prepared at the villa, teleporting to the apartment was just to avoid attracting attention. Otherwise, Takeru and the others could have directly gone to school.
Just as they stepped out, Takeru saw Ebina already waiting downstairs. Seeing Takeru and the others, Ebina sighed lightly in relief.
Although Takeru had previously told her they would depart for school from the apartment, she was still somewhat nervous before seeing him...
"Morning, Ebina." Looking at Ebina, Takeru greeted her with a light smile.
"Takeru-kun, Miu, and Ai, good morning!" Hearing Takeru's greeting, Ebina quickly responded.
After briefly exchanging greetings, Takeru and the others headed to school. However, since it was Ai's first day transferring, Takeru planned to first take her to school and see how things went. As for skipping a few classes at Sobu High, it was no problem for Takeru.
Then, arriving at an intersection, Takeru bid farewell to Ebina and took Miu and Ai towards the elementary school.
Soon, Takeru arrived at the elementary school. The teacher receiving at the school gate was quite surprised to see Takeru.
"Takeru-san, may I ask what brings you here?"
If she only saw Takeru, she would be puzzled, but seeing him appear with Miu cleared all doubt.
"I'm bringing her to school. Her transfer procedures should be completed." Looking at the teacher before him, Takeru had some impression of her. Although she wasn't Miu's homeroom teacher, she was one of the teachers Takeru had treated during the bat monster invasion.
"Is that so? I'll take you to the office. The teacher in charge of her class should be there." Hearing Takeru's words, the female teacher quickly said.
"Yes, then I'll trouble you." Hearing her say this, Takeru didn't refuse her kindness.
"You're welcome." Hearing Takeru's words, the female teacher shook her head.
"Master!" Just as they entered the school grounds, an excited voice suddenly came from behind. Hearing the voice, Takeru knew it was Hinata without even looking.
Soon, Hinata excitedly pounced towards Takeru. Seeing this, Takeru quickly caught her.
"Hinata, that's dangerous!" Feeling the force of Hinata's pounce, Takeru quickly reminded her.
"Heehee, I was just so happy to see Master that I ran over without thinking!" Hearing Takeru's words, Hinata said with a smile.
"Honestly, didn't we just see each other yesterday?" Looking at her smiling face, Takeru said with amusement.
"Heehee!" Hearing Takeru say this, Hinata just laughed.
"Alright, I need to take Ai to handle some matters now, so we'll be going." Seeing her expression, Takeru patted her head and bid her farewell.
"Okay, Master, goodbye!" Hearing Takeru say this, Hinata nodded and didn't continue to disturb. Miu also left with Hinata.
After this small interlude, Takeru led Ai to the office with the teacher. In the office, the homeroom teacher for Class 2, Grade 4 had already received notification. Upon learning Ai was the new transfer student, she warmly welcomed her.
When it was almost time, Takeru waved goodbye to Ai. Of course, Takeru didn't leave immediately. He stayed outside and used Observation Haki to monitor the situation inside.
After waiting an hour or two and finding nothing unusual, Takeru left a clone and headed towards his own school.
Arriving at school, looking at the empty campus, Takeru didn't head directly to his classroom. Instead, he leisurely strolled around the campus, then sat down on a bench by the path.
Sensing the quiet campus atmosphere, Takeru took a deep breath. Actually, it had been a long time since Takeru had enjoyed a peaceful moment alone.
Without the pressure of academics, the campus was more conducive to relaxation than other places. This was also why Takeru hadn't simply withdrawn from school. One reason was that school served as a gathering point for communication with Yukino and the others. Another was that campus life itself was quite pleasant.
Thinking this, Takeru calmly gazed at the blue sky and white clouds of this world, sitting quietly as time slowly passed, without training and without anyone nearby causing a commotion...
Ring ring ring~
Just as Takeru was sitting peacefully, the school bell rang. The bell's sound signaled the end of class.
With the end of class, the quiet campus began to grow lively. Takeru snapped back to reality. Sensing the campus condition, he smiled and shook his head. Peaceful moments were truly fleeting...
However, Takeru didn't feel regret. So-called tranquil moments were fine to enjoy occasionally. Compared to tranquility, Takeru still preferred liveliness.
Then, watching the youthful and vibrant female students on campus, Takeru didn't linger and walked directly towards his classroom.
