At the same time, it wasn't just Miu. Umaru, Ui, and Yukino, who had also consumed Nen Seeds, experienced dreams similar to Miu's during the night.
Perhaps because all three had passed the Hunter Exam, they had all obtained Nen Seeds from their reward chests. As for the Nen Fruit, only Takeru had received one.
As for Taihei and the others who hadn't passed the exam, they didn't obtain these items. Moreover, spending the month primarily focused on earning money to survive resulted in low ratings and consequently meager rewards.
Although they later participated in Heavens Arena, their ratings didn't improve much, mostly hovering around C-Rank.
Those who passed the Hunter Exam, like Ui, Yukino, and Umaru, achieved at least B-Rank ratings. Umaru, who also visited the Zoldyck Estate with Takeru, saw her rating increase significantly, ultimately achieving an A- rating...
Of course, Takeru wasn't aware of these details yet.
After breakfast, Takeru received an invitation from Yukino to visit her home, mainly to discuss yesterday's Reincarnation mission experiences.
Since this wasn't a formal team meeting, everyone could simply attend at their convenience. The location was Yukino's rented upscale apartment...
"Will Takeru-senpai be going?" Originally, Takeru considered not going to spend time with Miu, but Ui inquired in the group chat.
"Sorry, I'll probably be with my sister today," Takeru replied directly upon seeing Ui's message.
"Eh? Is it Miu-chan? I think you could bring Miu along!" Soon after Takeru's message, Tsumugi chimed in.
"I agree!" Yui and Ui quickly added their support.
"Well, Takeru, if you don't mind, I'd also like to meet your sister." Seeing everyone's messages, Yukino quickly replied. Although Miu wasn't a Reincarnator and her presence might be slightly inconvenient, being Takeru's sister ensured she would be treated respectfully.
"Um... my sister is also curious about everyone. Would it be alright if she came along?" Soon after, Hachiman hesitantly sent a similar message.
Actually, Hachiman's younger sister, Komachi, was both happy and worried that her usually solitary brother suddenly seemed to have a group of friends.
Fearing her brother might be the one getting bullied or that they were bad influences, Komachi had been pestering Hachiman to introduce them...
"Oh? Hachiman-kun has a sister too?" Seeing Hachiman's message, Ritsu asked curiously.
Though they hadn't known each other long, being in the same team naturally sparked curiosity about each other's lives.
"Yes. Her name is Hikigaya Komachi. She's also in her third year of middle school and will attend Sobu High next year." Hachiman explained.
"Is that so? Please bring your sister along, Hachiman-kun." Yukino replied promptly.
"Understood. Thank you."
"What about you, Yuta-kun?" Since Takeru, Hachiman, and Taihei were bringing their sisters, everyone's curiosity turned to Yuta.
It seemed all the male team members with younger siblings belonged to the 'has a little sister" club.
"Well... my mom asked me to look after my sister today. But Yumeha is only five years old, so I think it's best not to bring her," Yuuta replied somewhat awkwardly.
"I don't see any problem with that. Please bring her along, Yuta-kun." Yukino didn't mind at all.
Since she had extended the invitation, she wouldn't play favorites. A few more people wouldn't make her apartment feel crowded. In fact, having the sisters chat together might make discussing Reincarnation Space matters easier for the main group.
Soon, everyone agreed to gather at Yukino's apartment after 10:00 a.m. Yukino would prepare some refreshments, and everyone could stay and enjoy themselves for a while.
After finalizing the plans, Yukino, in her neat apartment, glanced around, then headed out to a nearby large supermarket to shop.
As the host, she needed to ensure proper hospitality. Money wasn't an issue for her, so hosting Takeru and the others was simple enough.
Come to think of it, she hadn't done this sort of thing much before. The first time was inviting everyone to her home to enter the Reincarnation World together.
But casually inviting friends over was a first, stemming from her childhood lack of friends...
However, since the Reincarnation Space appeared, her life had changed dramatically. She gained strength, witnessed various extraordinary things, and acquired a group of friends she never imagined having before.
Takeru, unaware of Yukino's thoughts, looked at Miu, who was eagerly awaiting their day out.
"Onii-chan, where are we going later? How about the amusement park again? Or the aquarium? I heard many aquariums are closing too. Maybe they'll be gone soon!" Miu looked at Takeru expectantly.
"Hmm... later, I'm going to a classmate's house." Takeru stated plainly.
"Oh, I see..." Miu's expression fell slightly.
"Of course, if you'd like, you can come along." Seeing her disappointment, Takeru smiled.
"Eh? Really?!" Miu's face lit up.
"Of course." Takeru nodded, amused by her happiness.
"Huh? Are we going to Yui's or Mio's house?" Miu suddenly asked, as if remembering something.
"No, it's another classmate's place. You'll see when we get there. And remember, don't say anything strange once we're there." Takeru shook his head.
"I understand." Miu nodded.
…
Soon, time passed, and Takeru led Miu toward Yukino's apartment building.
"Wow, Onii-chan! This is where your classmate lives? It looks so luxurious!" Miu exclaimed, observing the opulent building decor and the obviously high-end security.
"It's alright. If you wanted to live somewhere like this, it wouldn't be impossible." Takeru remarked lightly.
Though these places looked extravagant, the monthly rent wasn't exorbitant, probably around 100,000 yen or so...
Takeru's book sales were doing quite well. This month, he should receive substantial royalties. With the second and third volumes published later, his earnings would only increase.
So, Takeru wouldn't be short on money in the future. At the very least, as long as he didn't spend recklessly, he wouldn't lack funds. Thinking this, he felt it was a pity about the over 100 million Jenny left in the Hunter World.
Unbeknownst to Takeru, Umaru was even more heartbroken.
If only she could have brought that money back to the main world! Think of all the snacks she could buy!
"Never mind. Our current place is just fine. Besides, if the place was too big, I'd feel even lonelier when you're not home." Miu replied without hesitation.
"You..." Takeru was both touched and amused.
Soon, Takeru rang the intercom. Even from the ground floor, they needed permission from the resident to enter.
Quickly, after Takeru buzzed, Yukino opened the door remotely. Yukino's apartment was on the 15th floor, unit 1507, so they needed to take the elevator up.
"Takeru-kun, is this your sister?" Hachiman asked curiously in the elevator.
"Yes, this is my sister, Miu." Takeru smiled and nodded.
However, Komachi was momentarily stunned upon seeing Takeru. She never imagined her brother could be friends with someone who was clearly a top-tier, socially adept person like Takeru.
Logically, her brother shouldn't be able to blend into Takeru's social circle at all.
"Ah, this is my sister, Hikigaya Komachi." Seeing Takeru's gaze shift to Komachi, Hachiman quickly introduced her.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Nara Takeru. Pleased to meet you, Komachi." Takeru extended his right hand with a friendly smile.
"Nice to meet you, Takeru-senpai." Komachi replied with slight hesitation.
"How nice. You seem quite different from your brother." Takeru remarked meaningfully.
"Yes. Thank you for looking after my brother." Komachi said sincerely.
Hearing the exchange, Hachiman rolled his eyes, feeling like not talking to Takeru for the moment. However, Komachi wasn't wrong… he had indeed learned much useful information from Takeru...
