Chapter 019 What Joy

The first gift was naturally the Resurrection Stone.

The second gift was the Capsule Corp capsules, which were indeed very convenient in daily life.

The third gift was the Time Villa. Wang Bo used a Duplication Mirror to copy a Time Villa and gave it to Miyamizu Mitsuha.

As for the fourth gift, it was a copied version of the Horse Talisman. In terms of healing, it far surpassed any kind of magic, and to modern people, it seemed like a universal medical device.

With the Horse Talisman, Mitsuha no longer had to worry about injuries or illnesses befalling those around her.

As for the fifth gift, it was a copied version of the Gourmet Tablecloth.

As for the sixth gift, it was a magical-tech armor made by Wang Bo using Vibranium and a memory metal.

This was also a new attempt by Wang Bo.

It combined magic and technology, a magical-tech armor created using nanotechnology.

Normally, it was just a watch, but once Mitsuha was attacked, it would automatically defend and protect her from harm. Its defensive power could even keep her safe under continuous missile bombardment.

Unless a nuclear bomb was used, Mitsuha would never be killed.

With these items, Wang Bo no longer had to worry about Mitsuha's safety.

"Thank you, Master, thank you."

After accepting these gifts, Mitsuha finally couldn't hold back her tears.

Wang Bo also felt his nose sting. Although their time together wasn't long, living together day and night had filled Wang Bo with fondness for this cheerful high school girl.

Now that they had to part, Wang Bo was also a little sad.

Mitsuha sobbed intermittently for a long time before she managed to control her emotions. She untied her orange hair ribbon and pressed it into Wang Bo's hand.

"Master, please accept this." After Miyamizu Mitsuha untied her hair ribbon, her long hair cascaded down, and the flowing locks looked very beautiful.

Wang Bo looked at the hair ribbon in his hand, a little stunned. If he remembered correctly, this hair ribbon was the bond between Miyamizu Mitsuha and Taki Tachibana; it was because of this ribbon that the two had swapped bodies.

"Do you know that this hair ribbon..."

"I don't know anything." Miyamizu Mitsuha shook her head vigorously, grabbed Wang Bo's hand, and said earnestly, "Please be sure to accept this, Master. This is the only gift I can leave you."

Wang Bo: ...

Miyamizu Mitsuha picked up the hair ribbon, deftly tied it around Wang Bo's wrist, and made a bow.

"There, it's done."

"Fine, as long as you're happy." Wang Bo gave up worrying. If Taki Tachibana and Miyamizu Mitsuha were truly fated, they would be connected even without the hair ribbon.

Miyamizu Mitsuha: "Oh, Master, I have one last question I want to ask you."

"What?"

"Are you not interested in girls?" She suddenly asked a very strange question.

Wang Bo was dumbfounded. "Why do you ask that?"

"Because... because... in the villa, from the butler to the servants, they're all uniformly handsome guys, Master." This question had been weighing on Miyamizu Mitsuha's mind for a long time.

Now that parting was imminent, she finally couldn't help asking.

Wang Bo had never imagined that in his disciple's eyes, he would be a gay man.

He couldn't help but flick Miyamizu Mitsuha's head hard, making her yelp in pain. "Mitsuha, oh Mitsuha, you really are a little smarty-pants."

The sudden silly conversation lightened the mood brought on by parting.

Wang Bo rubbed Mitsuha's swollen head and smiled slightly. "Goodbye, Mitsuha."

With that, he contacted the artifact and sent Miyamizu Mitsuha away.

"Ah, goodbye, Master, and joy..." Before she could finish, Miyamizu Mitsuha suddenly disappeared from Wang Bo's sight.

Looking at the spot where Mitsuha had vanished, Wang Bo felt a sense of loss.

The last time he had felt this way was when he sent away Qin Liangyu. But what exactly was Mitsuha about to say before she left? If only he had waited a moment and let her finish.

Joy what, joy in me?

Wang Bo subconsciously shook his head. Impossible, impossible.

As for Mitsuha, he didn't have romantic feelings. Although Mitsuha was indeed cute, the problem was that she was too young, still a high school student.

What Wang Bo liked were those beautiful older women.

Mitsuha was completely outside his hunting range.

[Congratulations, host. You have sent away another traveler. Now, you have two chances to draw. Do you wish to draw, host?]

"Draw... wait."

Wang Bo was about to draw, but then he thought of a question. "Are there any more travelers in this world?"

[There are still travelers.]

Wang Bo couldn't help rubbing his temples. Nowadays, there were too many travelers.

One world had several travelers. The last world was like this, and this world was the same.

It seemed that the disturbance involving the multiverse was more intense than he had imagined. But that was fine; the more travelers there were, the more chances he had to draw.

That also meant more chances to draw good things, like a Dimensional Door or something.

So Wang Bo said, "I won't draw for now. I'll draw after I've sent away all the travelers."

[Okay, you're the host, you decide.]

"Mm, you may retire."

[...]

After dismissing the artifact, Wang Bo greeted the Conqueror and left the Time Villa, returning to his apartment in Shinjuku. He had spent about two months in the Time Villa, but in the real world, only about a day and a half had passed.

The real world hadn't changed much.

Wang Bo browsed the internet on his phone, reading some news, and found that everyone was still discussing monsters and superheroes endlessly.

It seemed that this was the only topic left in the world. Wang Bo couldn't help but curl his lip.

"Friday." Wang Bo called softly.

"I'm here, boss." Friday, lying on the coffee table, instantly transformed from a phone into a Transformer.

"Have you found anything new online in this past day or so? I mean about travelers." Ever since Friday discovered Miyamizu Mitsuha, Wang Bo felt that Friday was far more capable than he had imagined.

"I'm sorry, boss, I haven't found anything new." Friday's voice was a little low.

Wang Bo didn't mind at all. This kind of thing couldn't be rushed. "It's okay, take your time, Friday. If not in a day, then a month; if not in a month, then a year. We have all the time in the world."

"I understand, boss." Friday nodded and continued searching online.

Wang Bo, on the other hand, lounged happily on the sofa, picked up the game controller, turned on the TV, and started playing games.
