Soon, under Takeru's treatment, Rifana's body returned to health. Takeru carried her outside.
"Rifana!" Seeing Takeru carrying the girl out, Raphtalia quickly came over. Keel and some of the ordinary demi-human villagers also gathered around. They all cared deeply for this sensible and well-behaved girl.
"Her surface injuries and illnesses have been treated. But mentally, due to long-term illness and various tortures... when she'll wake up, I can't say for sure." Looking at the worried Raphtalia and the other demi-human villagers, Takeru spoke to them.
Hearing Takeru's words, although everyone still felt some heartache, knowing Rifana still had a chance to recover, they completely relaxed. Only Raphtalia felt some pain.
"I'm sorry, Rifana, and everyone. If I had brought Takeru-sama here sooner, you all could have been saved long ago. And before, I was too useless. If I had more power, I could have protected everyone." Raphtalia blamed herself.
"That's enough, Raphtalia. You've already done very well. If you hadn't come to save us, we wouldn't have lasted much longer. And Rifana is already out of danger. All that's left is to wait. It'll be fine." Seeing Raphtalia's self-blame, Keel quickly comforted her.
"Exactly, Raphtalia. It's because we saw your smile that we didn't abandon hope and managed to hold on until now. And Raphtalia, thank you truly." A demi-human woman came to Raphtalia's side and spoke to her gratefully.
Although the others didn't speak, their eyes were also filled with gratitude toward Raphtalia. Of course, there was also adoration and gratitude toward Takeru.
"Alright, everyone, go outside first. Move the deceased villagers out and properly cremate them. Also, regarding the Idol outside... although his appearance is similar, he is no longer the same person. All the knights have also been controlled. Everyone, please don't be nervous." Looking at everyone, Takeru spoke seriously.
Hearing Takeru say this, although some were worried, they still nodded seriously, choosing to trust Takeru, who had saved them from danger.
Soon, as time passed, everyone came outside again.
Because the mansion was very large, Takeru directly arranged for everyone to stay in Idol's mansion.
Although the demi-humans were nervous, with Raphtalia's repeated assurances, and because their physical and mental states were poor, they temporarily settled down.
The other guards, seeing this, found it strange. They didn't understand why Idol, who had always enjoyed torturing demi-humans, had now released them and was even providing them with good food and drink.
However, these people had no chance to ask questions. They were directly controlled by Takeru. For those with heinous crimes, Takeru directly killed them.
As for those whose crimes were less severe, Takeru forcibly controlled them. Essentially, they would find it difficult to break free from Takeru's control for the rest of their lives.
As for the servants, aside from a few whose minds were equally twisted and were killed by Takeru, the rest who were relatively normal were kept to maintain the mansion's operations.
After arranging all the servants, Takeru said goodbye to Via, Raphtalia, and Filo.
"Raphtalia, Filo, Via... I'm going to get my family now. You all take good care of everyone here first." Looking at the three, Takeru spoke directly.
"Takeru-sama's family?" Hearing Takeru's words, Via and Raphtalia were confused, 'Wasn't Takeru-sama a summoned Hero? Even if he had family, they should be in another world, right?'
"Eh? New family members? Filo wants to meet them too!" Only Filo, hearing that there would be more family members, spoke excitedly.
"Filo, wait a bit. Once I bring them over, won't you be able to see them then?" Hearing her words, Takeru gently rubbed her hair to soothe her.
"Eh... then Master, you have to come back quickly." Hearing Takeru say this, although Filo was a bit unhappy, she didn't continue to act spoiled.
"I know. I'll be back soon. I'll bring you some delicious food." As he spoke, Takeru quickly disappeared from the spot. Via and Raphtalia were stunned, not knowing how Takeru had left.
Only Filo remembered Takeru's promise to bring her delicious food and was very excited. Because every time Takeru said he would bring her delicious food, it was always super-delicious food she had never eaten before...
After saying goodbye to the three, Takeru didn't leave the mansion. He just went to an empty room upstairs and began to operate his Reincarnation Watch.
"Use Summoning ability to summon my retainers: Emilia, Ram, Rem, Beatrice, Esdeath, Chelsea, Akame, Kurome, Naoki Miki, and Diablo."
[Ding! Summoning will consume a total of 20,000 points. Do you wish to continue summoning?]
"Confirm summon." Hearing that 20,000 points would be deducted, Takeru didn't mind at all. After all, points were meant to be used.
As for Felt, Karin, Leone, and the others, he didn't plan to summon them. Having Emilia, Esdeath, and the others for assistance was already sufficient.
[20,000 points deducted. Remaining points: 644,600. Summoning in progress.]
As Takeru summoned them, back in the real world, Ram and the others, who were waiting while meditating, received a notification.
They didn't have time to say anything more before disappearing from the spot.
After Emilia and the others disappeared, Felt, Karin, Leone, and the others gathered together.
Seeing that Takeru hadn't summoned them, the girls sighed a bit, but inwardly resolved to work hard, hoping that next time Takeru needed help, he would think of them first...
Back in the Hero World, after choosing to summon, Takeru sat quietly, waiting for their arrival.
In less than two minutes, under the transmission of the Reincarnation Space, ten figures appeared simultaneously beside Takeru.
In less than a minute, Diablo was the first to wake up completely. After cautiously checking his surroundings, he respectfully bowed to Takeru.
Emilia, Ram, and the others quickly woke up as well. Beatrice excitedly threw herself onto Takeru.
"Takeru, are you in some kind of trouble?" After waking up, Emilia asked nervously.
"It's not really trouble. Like before, I'm planning to seize a country this time. But you can learn about this world's situation first. There's plenty of time." Looking at them, Takeru spoke directly.
"I see. Takeru-sama, what is the combat power level of this world like?" Hearing Takeru's words, Diablo asked directly. Compared to the others, he was more curious about the combat power situation.
"The strongest beings in this world probably wouldn't be a match for you. As for the country I'm going to seize, it completely lacks any high-level combat power. And for this seizure, there won't be much fighting. I will directly control them."
"What you need to do is help me deal with any problems that might arise after I seize the throne." Looking at them, Takeru said bluntly.
"Is that so? Although it's a pity there won't be a war, if anyone dares to disobey Takeru, I'll take their head." Hearing Takeru's words, Esdeath licked her lips.
As for Akame and the others, although they didn't speak, if anyone truly tried to resist Takeru, they wouldn't show mercy.
"Alright. This is the mansion of a noble I've taken over today. This entire area is temporarily our base. In ten days, there will be a wave of monsters in this world. Because my identity in this world is the Sword Hero, I will be teleported to confront the wave."
"Of course, these aren't any major issues. However, I want you all to familiarize yourselves with this world's situation during this time. After the wave, I will launch a coup against this country." Looking at them, Takeru briefly explained his identity in this world and when the formal coup would take place.
"I understand. We'll familiarize ourselves with everything in the coming days." Hearing Takeru's words, they quickly nodded.
"Good. Now, I'll first introduce you to the people who are following me in this world." Then, Takeru prepared to take them to meet Raphtalia, Via, and the others.
