The Boundless Journey, Starting From Bofuri

"Master, there are giant bird monsters trying to attack Hakuto!" Soon, those admiring the scenery noticed two eagle-like monsters, about four to five meters in size, attempting to attack Hakuto.

"Don't worry, Hakuto can easily defeat such monsters." Seeing their nervousness, Takeru said with a light laugh.

"Woo~" As the eagle monsters attacked, Hakuto's eyes turned fierce. Its massive maw opened, making the four-to-five-meter monsters seem minuscule beside it.

Then, a blast of scorching flame shot from Hakuto's mouth, splitting into six at incredible speed and striking the unprepared eagle monsters. Under the intense flames, they were quickly obliterated...

Witnessing the entire scene, Kazuho's eyes widened, her mouth slightly agape, utterly speechless with shock...

"Awesome! Hakuto is so strong!" Only Hinata and the others were excited.

After the minor incident, the journey proceeded smoothly. Hakuto was fast, taking about an hour to reach the villa according to Takeru's directions.

With mimicry activated, Hakuto blended into the blue sky and wasn't too conspicuous. Upon arrival, following Takeru's signal, Hakuto slowly descended into the spacious garden. Fortunately, the garden was large enough, though two big trees were crushed upon landing.

Seeing this, Takeru felt helpless but didn't mind too much… they were just ordinary trees and could be cleared later.

After landing, Hakuto remained about twenty to thirty centimeters above the ground to avoid damaging the area, which would be troublesome to repair.

After everyone disembarked, Takeru signaled Hakuto to return to the island and await his summons, keeping mimicry active normally and avoiding attacking humans.

Hearing Takeru, Hakuto let out a low cry of understanding and slowly left the villa.

"Onii-chan, is this the villa you bought?" As Hakuto departed, the villa's full appearance came into view, astonishing Miu.

"Yes, what do you think? Not bad, right?" Seeing Miu's amazement, Takeru said directly.

"Onii-chan, do you have that much money?" Looking at everything, Miu asked suspiciously.

"Of course!" Hearing her doubt his money-making ability, Takeru rolled his eyes.

Although he was almost out of funds now, money wasn't hard for Takeru to obtain. After learning the magic collected by Echidna, turning stone to gold wasn't difficult.

However, introducing too much gold into the market would cause a huge impact. But if he's really short on money, Takeru wouldn't mind creating some gold. For now, he could consider taking on a few missions.

But that could wait. The most important thing now was to give everyone a tour. Since the villa was fully furnished, it was essentially move-in ready. So they could stay here tonight.

"Master, will we live here from now on?" Looking at the huge villa, Ai asked curiously. (T/N: Changing Hinatsuru to Ai, since everyone else already use the given name, not surname.)

"Mm-hmm." Hearing her, Takeru nodded directly.

"Huh? Takeru, are you moving?" Hearing Takeru, Ebina belatedly asked.

"Yes, but not completely. I'll still go to the apartment, just stay there less. Of course, for school, we'll go from there." Hearing her, Takeru explained directly.

"I see..." Hearing Takeru, Ebina was somewhat dazed.

"Then, Master, can we stay here tonight too?" Suddenly, Hinata said excitedly.

"Huh? You want to stay here?" Hearing her, Takeru was caught off guard.

"I want to stay here too!" Soon, Nao also said directly.

"I understand. But call your parents first. If they agree, then you can stay." Seeing their excited faces, Takeru said directly.

Seeing them so happy, Takeru didn't want to dampen their spirits, but it depended on their parents.

Yui, Ui, and Rikka hesitated but decided to leave. Kazuho and Renge also needed to go home, as Renge's other older sister, Hikage was waiting. Takeru told them to stay a bit longer, and he'd take them back to the village later.

Considering Takeru's capabilities, Kazuho thanked him with a nod.

Soon, Hinata and the others contacted their mothers and got permission. Excitedly, they explored the villa. With ten bedrooms, besides two master suites, there were eight rooms. Takeru let everyone choose.

Takeru, Miki, Karin, Miu, Emilia, Ram, Rem, Beatrice, and Felt made their selections, leaving three rooms as guest rooms.

Miki and Karin, used to sharing, chose one room. Ram and Rem also shared a room. Miu, though reluctant to part with Takeru, chose a room as her own.

Compared to Miu, Miki, and others, Ai wasn't considered family, so her room was designated a guest room, though Takeru wouldn't usually let others use it...

Emilia, Beatrice, and Felt naturally chose rooms. Though they didn't mind sharing, with conditions permitting, they preferred some personal space.

Takeru didn't mind. After selecting rooms, everyone finished their excited tour and began planning.

The garden didn't need immediate changes, but indoor rooms could be personalized. The rooftop, for growing food, interested Miu, Rem, and others. They started thinking about what plants to grow and what animals to raise.

In fact, Takeru could even create functional animals now.

After the tour, Hina, Miki, Rem, Ui, and others started preparing dinner, using ingredients Takeru had stored in his item slots and leftover White Whale's meat.

With rare leisure, Takeru began creating again. Suddenly, an idea came to mind, and he smiled. Taking out some White Whale's fur, he started creating the creature in his mind.

As he shaped the magical beast and its abilities, his mana rapidly decreased again.

About five minutes later, under Yui and the others' gazes, a small, four-legged, fox-like magical beast appeared. It was snow-white with fluffy tails, eyes gradient from blue to white, deep blue inside its ears, two thick tufts outside, and light blue paws.

If someone from that original world saw it, they'd be shocked. Takeru had manifested a highly popular anime creature… the six-tailed fox. Not the ordinary Fire-type Vulpix, but the special regional Ice-type Alolan Vulpix.

To make it more potent, Takeru infused it with fire magic and shared some of his Demon's Extract ability.

So, despite its cute, harmless appearance, if provoked, it could easily eliminate many ordinary adults...

At full strength, even Miu might not be its match now, as Miu lacked combat experience. Their base stats were similar, with the difference being Nen and fire magic.

This Ice Vulpix cost Takeru nearly 8,000 mana.

As Vulpix appeared, everyone's attention focused on it.

Though Karin and the others didn't speak, their eyes showed intense interest.

Facing their gazes, Vulpix showed a wary look, then jumped into Takeru's arms, nuzzling him affectionately.

Takeru gently stroked Vulpix, feeling its soft fur, and smiled.

"Takeru, what is this? Can I hold it?" Seeing the adorable Vulpix, Yui excitedly asked.

"Onii-chan, what's its name?" Miu directly inquired.

"It's called Vulpix. You could call it a spirit, or a Pokémon." Seeing their keen interest, Takeru didn't keep them in suspense and directly said.
