Without hesitation, Caleb clicked to summon "Baymax."
The moment Baymax appeared, he was in the form of a "red suitcase."
"Ouch, my arm," Caleb said dramatically.
Seconds later, the suitcase transformed into a giant Marshmallow.
Walking toward him, Baymax raised his right hand and said, "Hello. I am Baymax, your personal healthcare companion."
"Hello," Caleb replied. "My name is Caleb Saga."
"Hello, Caleb." Baymax approached, stopping just 50 cm away. "I was alerted when you said, 'Ouch, my arm.'"
"I was pretending," Caleb said. "By the way, what do you know about me or anything else?"
"I only know that your well-being is my priority," Baymax responded. "I was created to care for you and those you care about."
"Who created you?" Caleb asked.
"My creator is Tadashi Hamada," Baymax answered.
"How did you learn about me?" Caleb asked. It seemed like a silly question, but it wasn't.
"That question is odd. I was..." Baymax paused for a moment, then said, "Since you don't require medical attention, may I power down?"
"Okay," Caleb agreed.
As Baymax reverted to his "red suitcase" form, Caleb thought, It seems like something modified him to avoid answering that kind of question.
Well, it wasn't as if he didn't expect that.
Then, he looked at the card book and chose to use "Greatly Increase Basic Stats."
The moment he did, he felt a 7% boost in his basic stats.
It's decreasing more and more. Soon it'll reach 1% or less... he thought.
Well, if it boosts his basic stats and he keeps improving, whether through training or assimilating characters, it's no surprise that the percentage gain is shrinking.

After reviewing his status, Caleb nodded with satisfaction.
'If I keep up this pace, I'll soon fully assimilate Jigoro Kuwajima. Plus, the girls' loyalty to me has increased a bit. And Baymax's loyalty is quite high.'
Looking back at the cards he had just obtained, there was a doctor from the same dimension as Saeko, but he didn't want to summon her.
Although he admitted she was very beautiful and attractive, he wouldn't summon her just for that.
Her medical skills likely weren't better than Baymax's, and the next character he wanted to summon needed to have special healing abilities.
Unfortunately, Min Byung-Gyu couldn't be summoned, so he needed to choose someone to assimilate that card.
The biggest issue was compatibility and the time it would take to assimilate until it became useful.
Orihime Inoue, though a bit airheaded, not was on par with Shizuka Marikawa. However, before awakening her abilities, would she be able to quickly assimilate Min Byung-Gyu's card?
That's what made him hesitate.
I'll decide after spending all my GP, Caleb thought. If I don't find anyone who can replace Inoue, I'll summon her and let her assimilate Min Byung-Gyu's card.
Taking the [Seastone Handcuffs (One Piece)] card, he recycled it to summon cards from that dimension.
[-50 GP!]
1: [Island Devourer]
2: [Eustass Kid]
3: [Bomu Bomu no Mi]
4: [Scarlett]
5: [100x Millennium Paper/Thousand-Year Paper]
6: [Toki]
7: [Clima-Tact]
8: [Enma]
9: [Eric]
10: [Kiribachi]
'Enma... It's a good sword, but I still prefer Tessaiga. Arlong's sword, Kiribachi, is a recyclable item... Eric is that guy with purple hair and a weird hairstyle. A jerk, to sum it up... And Kid... Well, he still has his Devil Fruit, which makes him a good assimilation target as long as I remove the Devil Fruit's weakness. Summon? No way.'
Caleb thought calmly: 'Island Devourer... It'll be a good supply if I run out of food. Scarlett... She seems to be Rebecca's mother who died in this world. But Toki, 'Oden's wife', is from another dimension...'
Toki
Description:
Born about 800 years before the current storyline, she spent her first 26 years jumping forward in time with her Akuma no Mi abilities. After leaping 20 years into the future, she ended up at sea and died.
[Summon] – [Assimilate] – [Recycle]
Just seeing her card's information made him believe it. After all, he was aware of the general situation in Wano Country, which had been taken over by Kaido.
'Bomu Bomu no Mi... If I remove its weakness, it'll be an incredibly powerful ability for Chun-Li,' Caleb thought. 'In the end... my best option for a team doctor, besides Baymax, is Orihime Inoue.'
Taking her card, he sat on the bed and clicked to summon.
The moment he clicked "summon," Inoue began materializing in the real world.
When she appeared, she was wearing a short-sleeved purple button-up shirt and a yellow skirt with an orange five-petal flower design. Her long, waist-length burnt orange hair had short bangs framing her forehead.
Her most notable physical trait was her slender yet very curvy figure for a teenager, especially her large breasts. And her brown eyes looked somewhat lifeless.
She's the first one I've summoned who seems like she's almost given up on life, Caleb thought.
Her familiar hairpins were there, but Caleb knew they weren't an extension of her powers in this version, as she had died before awakening them.
When her eyes fixed on Caleb, they sparkled briefly but returned to their lifeless state.
"Hi, Inoue. You must be confused, maybe even shocked from dying and being summoned by me, right?" Caleb broke the ice first. "By the way, my name's Caleb."
"Caleb..." she murmured, looking down, then back at him. "What do you want from me?"
"Straight to the point, huh... Well, no matter," Caleb said. "What I want from you is simple. But first, I'll explain a bit about my world."
Just as he had done with the others he summoned, he began explaining various things.
After finishing, he waited as she took her time to process all the information.
