Leaving the Shuzen estate.
Lin flew with Shuzen Akua toward the spatial passage.
Their speed was neither fast nor slow.
Along the way, Lin opened the Codex of All Things.
He checked the rewards from his trip to the Yokai Realm.

...
"Huh..."
Three entries had been unlocked in total, and Lin immediately focused his attention on Shuzen Issa's.
He was surprised that the entry had been unlocked at all.
After all, it was obvious that Shuzen Issa was deeply displeased with him.
He hadn't expected to gain his approval.
It clearly wasn't as a 'friend'.
But rather, as 'family'.
Tsk, tsk, that's my father-in-law for you.
Lin then turned his attention to the other entries.
Mastema didn't ring a bell.
As for the Rasengan from Kuyō's entry, however, Lin understood it instantly.
It was the 'Rasengan', after all.
The ninjutsu created by Minato Namikaze in the world of Naruto.
It was a technique that involved rapidly rotating and compressing one's internal energy.
Its power was determined by the amount of energy poured into it.
It could be fused with other elemental powers.
It was a ninjutsu with potential for growth.
As a result, many variations had been derived from it.
Finally, Lin looked at the reward from Shuzen Issa's entry.
Blazer.
It seemed vaguely familiar.
But he couldn't quite place it at the moment.
If he couldn't remember, there was no point in dwelling on it.
Lin claimed Mastema first.
Within his mindscape, a pair of miniature, snow-white wings appeared before his soul form, with silver discs at their base.
The relevant information flooded his mind.
Lin immediately understood.
It was the Winged Teigu from Akame ga Kill!.
It allowed the user to fly.
It could condense energy into feathers, which could then be used to shoot down targets.
It possessed a secret technique, 'God's Wings'.
Within its limits, it could reflect projectiles.
While it was a decent Teigu...
Lin felt its value barely crossed the threshold into the Blue level.
Next, Lin claimed the Rasengan.
The technique for releasing, rapidly rotating, and compressing internal energy emerged in his mind, becoming almost instinctual.
Finally, he claimed 'Blazer'.
A sphere of light pulsing with a strange, divine energy appeared in his mindscape and then merged with his soul form.
The next moment, his soul burst into light.
Countless spheres of light of varying sizes, like stars, flew out from his soul, seeming to occupy the entire surrounding void.
The spheres transformed into cards.
Each card seemed to display a pattern of some sort.
These cards began to merge.
In the end, only fifty-two remained.
The light coalesced, and a special pouch appeared at the waist of his soul form.
The fifty-two cards flew inside it.
Information surfaced, and Lin understood.
'Blazer' came from the world of Chivalry of a Failed Knight.
They were unique humans who could manifest their soul's power as an armament—an Inherent Spiritual Armament—and control it with magical power.
What he had obtained was this talent.
The ability to manifest his soul's power into an armament.
His Inherent Spiritual Armament was: the All-Phenomena Cards.
It could borrow the 'Power of All Phenomena'.
For example: phenomena like fire, water, lightning, and ice.
Even light and darkness.
Fusion and separation.
Time and space.
And conceptual forces like fate and causality.
It seemed very powerful.
And it was indeed quite strong.
But its strength had an upper limit.
After all, it merely 'borrowed' power, rather than 'directly controlling' it.
For example, if two opponents were both using spatial abilities.
Assuming they were of equal strength.
The one who directly controlled space would obviously be stronger than the one who borrowed it.
It was, of course, a slight disadvantage.
Despite this 'imperfection'...
...its advantage lay in its 'omni-competence'.
"A Purple-level reward, indeed!"
After integrating the Blazer talent, Lin couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Inherent Spiritual Armament: All-Phenomena Cards.
It could be said to be a product born from the fusion of two Purple-level rewards: the 'Third Magic' and 'Blazer'.
Powerful, without a doubt.
Lin stopped in mid-air.
"What's wrong?"
Shuzen Akua, her fingers intertwined with his, looked at him with some confusion.
"I'm going to test a new ability,"
he explained to Shuzen Akua.
Lin raised his right hand, flicking his index and middle fingers in front of him.
A card appeared between his fingers.
It was primarily silver with a gold trim.
The back depicted a dynamic cosmic scene of a starry sky.
The front had a pattern of a hollow white sphere.
This was the 'Space Card'.
"Preparing for spatial teleportation."
Lin borrowed spatial power, intending to teleport himself and Shuzen Akua from here back to the courtyard of his residence in the Human Realm.
The All-Phenomena Cards provided feedback.
It was possible, but the cost was extremely high.
A high cost?
With his infinite energy source, 'cost' was the last thing he feared.
The Space Card began to madly absorb his energy.
After charging for about three seconds...
...the Space Card began to glow, and a powerful spatial force enveloped Lin and Shuzen Akua, causing them to vanish instantly.
The next moment, at his residence in the Human Realm.
Lin and Shuzen Akua's figures appeared silently in the courtyard.
"Hm? Kobayashi-san!" "Xiao Bai!"
In the first-floor living room, Tohru and Akashiya Moka suddenly sensed something and both looked out toward the courtyard.
Sure enough, they saw Lin and Akua.
"!!!"
Shuzen Akua's eyes widened and her mouth fell slightly agape as the scene before her blurred and reformed into Lin's residence in the Human Realm.
A look of shock filled her eyes.
To return from the Yokai Realm to the Human Realm in the blink of an eye—this was Lin's new ability. Such a powerful spatial teleportation skill.
"Huh, who's this...?"
Having returned home, Lin glanced into the living room, and his eyebrow twitched slightly upon seeing a third figure.
A hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
She had long orange hair and the same emerald-green eyes as Outer Moka.
Her features were delicate and cute, and her skin was fair.
She was only about 1.5 meters tall.
Like Shuzen Akua, she possessed a pair of 'Wang Zai small steamed buns'.
This girl was none other than...
...the fourth daughter, Shuzen Kokoa, who had been missing for several days after being sent by Shuzen Issa to the Human Realm to find Akashiya Moka.
Why was she here?
And why was she restrained?
"That's... Kokoa!"
At that moment, Shuzen Akua also saw Shuzen Kokoa in the living room, a look of astonishment crossing her face.
How could she be here?
Lin and Shuzen Akua entered the living room, leaving their shoes outside.
After looking at Shuzen Kokoa,
Lin turned to Tohru and Akashiya Moka. "What's this?"
Akashiya Moka smiled and said,
"Xiao Bai, this is my sister, Shuzen Kokoa. She came to the Human Realm this time... uh, specifically to find me."
She hesitated for a moment when mentioning her sister's purpose.
Just then, Tohru glanced at Shuzen Kokoa and explained,
"About half an hour after you left, Kobayashi-san, she suddenly sent Moka a text message asking to meet."
"I went with Moka."
"But as soon as they met, Moka's sister suddenly attacked. I had no choice but to subdue her and bring her back here."
"That's what happened."
Akashiya Moka gave a slightly embarrassed smile.
Meanwhile, Shuzen Kokoa, who was restrained by Tohru, couldn't even speak, standing there quietly like a wooden doll.
Only her eyes could still move.
