Ren Isana looked at the contract Beatrice held out. He didn't have the slightest intention of refusing. It was a good thing to have a spirit he could carry around with him from now on, wasn't it?
Why would Ren Isana ever turn down a benefit delivered right to his doorstep? Without hesitation, he accepted Betty's spirit contract. From now on, Ren Isana would provide the Magic Power, and when he needed her, he could summon her directly to fight.
As the contract was signed, Ren Isana instantly felt a connection between himself and Beatrice. Moreover, he felt a link to the library itself. Feeling this, a flash of surprise crossed Ren Isana's eyes. "It seems I can take this library with me at any time?"
"That's right. Now that you've signed a contract with me, everything of mine belongs to you, including this library. This library is my home, so of course you can take it with you!" Beatrice said, looking at Ren Isana with absolute confidence.
After listening to Beatrice's explanation, a sharp light flickered in Ren Isana's eyes. A portable space? If that was the case, it was truly excellent. After all, this space could hold living beings.
Thinking of this, he glanced around the library and asked, "Can I put it away? I'll take it all with me at once. That way, you won't have to worry about moving."
Hearing this, Beatrice directly handed the Gospel in her hand to Ren Isana. "The key to this space is the Gospel. If you want to take this space with you, you have to find a way to integrate it with the space you already have. Otherwise, you'll just have to abandon this space."
This was the only way. Because this space was connected to the manor, if Ren Isana wanted to take it away, he had to completely strip the space from the building.
This manor was actually Roswaal's magic workshop. Her space was only temporarily residing here, created by her creator, Echidna.
After listening to Beatrice, an idea formed in Ren Isana's mind. Merge it with his own space? As for his own space... he actually did have one. He hadn't forgotten the space residing within his heart.
Looking at the Gospel in his hand, Ren Isana made a decision. "Everyone, please step outside for a moment. I'll see if I can merge it with my own space. If it doesn't work, we'll just have to take all the books out."
Upon hearing Ren Isana's words, everyone filed out of the library, curious to see how he would operate. Standing in the hallway, their eyes were fixed on Ren Isana, who was holding the Gospel.
At this moment, Ren Isana could clearly feel the [Spatial Mark] on the book. With this Gospel, one could enter the library at any time. Besides that, there was a coordinate that randomly wandered throughout the manor.
That random coordinate could only be considered a back door; the key to the main entrance would always be the Gospel. Ren Isana looked at the Gospel and did not hesitate, placing his hand on it to begin anchoring the space within.
He then fused that coordinate directly into his heart, slowly using the [Spatial Magic] he mastered to completely devour the space before him and transfer it entirely into his heart.
In this way, this space could merge with his own. And because this space was capable of holding living beings, the space he had opened in his heart would also be able to hold living beings from now on.
For Ren Isana, who had already mastered this world's [Spatial Magic], modifying the space inside his heart to allow it to hold living things was a simple task.
A terrifying surge of Magic Power erupted, startling everyone in the manor. Asuna and Emilia came running over. When Asuna reached Ren Isana's side and saw him with his eyes closed, clearly working on something, she breathed a sigh of relief.
They didn't disturb him, simply watching quietly from the side. Although they didn't know exactly what Ren Isana was doing, he was fully focused, and they didn't want to interrupt him.
Ren Isana's Magic Power flowed continuously into the Gospel. Through the [Spatial Mark] on it, he successfully transferred the entire space into his heart. This step was a success.
Now, he was dealing with the problem of merging the two spaces. After all, a single mistake could trigger a spatial storm, so Ren Isana had to be extremely careful as he fused them together.
For nearly half an hour, Ren Isana continued to draw upon his Magic Power. Puck, who had been watching the whole time, said to Emilia in shock, "Emilia, Ren Isana's Magic Power is even more ridiculous than yours, especially his recovery speed!"
Puck knew very well how strong Emilia's Magic Power was, but what was it seeing now? The Magic Power of the man in front of it was even more terrifying than Emilia's. This was simply too absurd.
"That's why I doubted whether he was even human!" Beatrice heard her brother's words. She had suspected whether Ren Isana was human from the start, and only after forming a contract with him did she realize just how ridiculous he was.
Magic Power? It was inexhaustible, completely bottomless. She could now use even the most outrageous magic if she wanted to. This feeling was simply too wonderful for a spirit.
Having inexhaustible Magic Power was a fantastic thing, especially for a spirit like her who specialized in various magics. Infinite firepower—just the thought of it was blissful.
Emilia blinked and looked at Ren Isana, her heart filled with wonder. Was his Magic Power really greater than hers? That was truly impressive. As expected of Mr. Ren Isana.
Emilia knew how strong her own Magic Power was because many people had told her. Even Roswaal was full of praise for her Magic Power capacity. But now that Ren Isana had even more, he was even more incredible.
While everyone chatted in low voices, Ren Isana finally finished. After carefully fixing the final spatial connection, he breathed a sigh of relief. It was a good thing he had copied Emilia's constitution.
Otherwise, based on his previous Magic Power capacity, it definitely wouldn't have been enough. Anything involving space required far too much Magic Power. Fortunately, everything was fine now.
"Where did you move the space? I feel like it's on your person?" Beatrice saw Ren Isana stop and looked at him with a puzzled gaze.
"It's on me. I'm giving this back to you. If you want to go back in the future, you'll have to use the Gospel." As Ren Isana spoke, he handed the Gospel back to Beatrice.
The back door was gone; the random coordinate had been closed by Ren Isana. This meant that to enter, one had to use the Gospel or the [Spatial Mark] Ren Isana provided.
Ren Isana had truly gained a lot from this trip, even acquiring such a space. If he expanded it, it could even be used to transport people. However, Ren Isana wouldn't do that. In the future, it would just be Beatrice's little nest; he wouldn't let anyone else in.
"That was truly an incredible operation," Beatrice said slowly after staring at Ren Isana for a long time. Once she finished, she transformed into a beam of light and dissipated, returning to the library.
The environment inside hadn't changed, except... there was an extra room? As Beatrice thought this, she ran over to check and saw the many items Ren Isana had stored.
Beatrice instantly understood what they were. She even saw plenty of food like fried chicken and cola. Seeing these things, Beatrice's eyes immediately lit up.
Because time was frozen within the space, many things were still piping hot. Beatrice wasn't polite and picked some up to eat. With just one bite, she fell in love with the combination of fried chicken and cola.
Ren Isana naturally saw this scene, but he didn't say anything. If she wanted to eat, let her eat; it wasn't like he didn't have more. These were all things he had bought and stuffed in there earlier. He would just have to prepare more for this little girl in the future.
He'd just treat it like raising a pet. With that thought, Ren Isana turned to look at the others, specifically Ram and Rem. He couldn't help but ask, "Are you two ready?"
Hearing Ren Isana's question, Ram and Rem nodded. Ram spoke first, "Ren Isana-sama, we have finished packing. However, we must trouble you with our luggage."
Ren Isana nodded. Since they were prepared, it was time to set off. The sooner they finished their business, the sooner he could return home.
Signaling for the two to lead the way, Ren Isana went to Ram and Rem's luggage and put it all away. After finishing, Ren Isana spoke slowly, "Next, we head to the spirit village. Everyone, stand together. We're setting off."
As Ren Isana's voice fell, a purple Magic Circle appeared beneath his feet. Seeing this, everyone hurriedly stepped inside. Once everyone was within the circle, Ren Isana decisively activated the teleportation.
The next moment, the figures of the group vanished from the spot. The manor instantly became empty. Not long after they left, Roswaal's figure appeared there.
Seeing that Ren Isana and the others had departed, Roswaal took out his Gospel and began to read. After seeing the latest content, he let out a sigh. "I hope this is the right choice!"
There was only one piece of content in his Gospel: build a good relationship with the other world. It was for this reason that he directly allowed Ram and Rem, who wanted to go, to follow, and he had even terminated all contracts with Ram.
From now on, Ram and Rem could go wherever they pleased. Closing the Gospel, Roswaal began to make arrangements. Since Emilia had left, there was no need to continue certain matters.
As for the Royal Selection, he'd let those nobles play their own games. The version had been updated; he was going to play on the foreign server now!
While Roswaal began his busy work, Ren Isana had already teleported the group several hundred kilometers away. After confirming the location was correct, Ren Isana performed a second teleportation.
After a total of three teleportations, the group finally arrived in a bone-chilling forest that was completely frozen over. As soon as they arrived, Asuna began to shiver violently from the cold, and the faces of Ram and Rem turned pale instantly. The chill here was truly terrifying!!
