Taking Kaguya's personal clothing, she returned to the alternate dinsion.
But this ti, behind the door was the main hall of the Tsukikage Island hot spring inn.
With that step, she reopened the door, completing the spatial traversal from the Shinomiya residence to Tsukikage Island.
"Kaguya-sama."
"You're back?"
Kaguya was, in fact, quite curious about the power Hayasaka had gained, especially after witnessing the unusual way she used it.
However, Hayasaka didn't answer directly. Instead, she quietly presented a piece of cloth she was holding to Kaguya.
"What's this?"
Kaguya instinctively reached out to take it.
Then, as the cloth unfolded completely, she saw what it was.
A pair of pure white panties with cute butterfly ties.
"..."
Kaguya's brain briefly short-circuited before her entire face turned red.
At that mont, she nearly exerted her body's full strength, using unimaginable speed to shove the unfolded panties into her pocket.
Although the observation skills of those present weren't at a Superman level, they were all fairly sharp, so they clearly caught a glimpse of the style.
The only male present, Ren, also saw it clearly. However, to avoid embarrassnt, he deliberately turned his gaze to the side.
With her face burning, Kaguya glanced at Ren. Seeing that he had intentionally averted his gaze, she quickly suppressed her mortified emotions.
Then, she shot a fierce glare at Hayasaka.
What's wrong with you!? Weren't there other things you could have used as proof!?
But Hayasaka simply turned her head away, pretending not to see Kaguya's glare.
That deliberate movent nearly made Kaguya explode in anger.
However, given that she had just had an embarrassing mont, she absolutely couldn't afford another one. Otherwise, she really wouldn't be able to face anyone.
"Hayasaka, explain your ability."
Left with no other choice, Kaguya changed the subject.
Hayasaka pouted slightly but still began explaining.
"The fruit I ate allows to freely open doors to another dinsion."
"That dinsion is nearly identical to the real world, except the colors are slightly lighter, making it look sowhat different."
"In that alternate dinsion, I can also open doors leading to other locations."
"Once a door is created, the space on the other side of the door will match the space where the door is set."
"I can also enter the door's connected space without needing to pass through a physical doorway."
"In that dinsion, I can hear sounds and see actions from the real world, but I can't interfere with them."
"Likewise, people in the real world can't interfere with my dinsion, unless I open a door connecting both worlds."
"This ability isn't as combat-oriented as Kaguya-sama's, but it has imnse potential for transportation and intelligence gathering."
Indeed.
Just from Hayasaka's description alone, everyone present grasped the sheer utility of her ability.
A spatial ability.
Not only could it be used for spatial traversal, like instantly returning from Tsukikage Island to the Shinomiya residence in Tokyo, but it also had terrifying implications for reconnaissance and information gathering.
And because it existed in a separate dinsion, it was nearly undetectable.
"Besides transportation and intel gathering, Hayasaka-san, you could also explore ways to use it for confinent."
"If you can transfer people, you might also be able to trap them in the alternate dinsion for long-term sealing."
Hayasaka's eyes lit up. That was indeed a viable strategy.
While reconnaissance and movent were valuable, the ability to imprison soone indefinitely would greatly enhance her power's effectiveness.
"Amamiya, do you think that's possible?"
"It should be."
"However, if you want to develop it further, like Shinomiya, you'll need extensive training."
Ren paused for a mont before ntioning a crucial aspect of Devil Fruit abilities.
"Devil Fruit powers can be further developed."
"If a Devil Fruit ability is trained to a certain extent, it undergoes a qualitative transformation."
"This transformation is known as Awakening."
"When a Devil Fruit awakens, it unlocks a higher tier of power, allowing the user to wield their ability in an even more advanced way."
"But the stronger the ability, the harder it is to awaken."
"You should be ntally prepared for that challenge."
Hayasaka found this reasoning quite sound.
The more powerful a Devil Fruit ability, the harder it was to push it to its full potential.
The power she had acquired wasn't sothing that could be easily mastered overnight.
Ultimately, it all depended on fate. If the right opportunity arose, her ability might have a chance to evolve.
But until then, Hayasaka felt she should follow Kaguya-sama's example and dedicate herself to serious training.
Then, Ren made a suggestion to Kaguya.
"Shinomiya, now that Hayasaka also has the Door-Door Fruit..."
"You used to hold back in training your ability because you didn't want to attract attention, but now you can enter the space Hayasaka-san opens and train in the alternate dinsion without anyone noticing."
That's right!
Kaguya's eyes imdiately lit up.
Her Ice-Ice Fruit ability had too large of an effective range, every ti she trained even a little, the entire pool at ho would freeze over, which was far from an ideal training environnt.
But in another dinsion, she wouldn't have to worry about being seen.
She could even go anywhere within the alternate world and unleash her power freely.
"That's a great idea!"
Not only did Kaguya think so, but even Nagi agreed that the suggestion was fantastic.
"If the alternate world is unaffected by external factors, then there's no risk of drawing attention."
"Ever since I gained my Vision, I haven't had a proper chance to test it out. This could be the perfect opportunity."
"Shinomiya, let's go together when we return."
As she spoke, Nagi turned to look at the others.
"How about everyone else? Want to join in?"
"I have a feeling that more of us might end up acquiring the diary later on."
Kaguya also found Nagi's suggestion reasonable.
She, too, suspected that other mbers of their group might receive the diary in the future.
Now, it was just a matter of waiting for things to unfold.
