Stare —
Fantasy Village, Yakumo's garden.
Yui and Tetu, who were sitting on opposite sides of Eight-cloud Ink, tried their best to widen their eyes and stare at each other.
Yui, who was sitting on the right side of Eight-cloud Ink, tugged at his sleeve, trying her best to put on a serious expression so that she would look like an older sister.
Tetu, who was sitting opposite her, saw Yui's face reflected in his colorful eyes, which had patterns of diamonds and spades. He was looking at his father's first child, his sister, with a curious gaze.
"You two, get along well, okay?"
After returning to Fantasy Village, Eight-cloud Ink had clearly changed subtly.
Unlike when they were in Disebode, Eight-cloud Ink had once again returned to its usual gentle, jade-like state that occasionally threw away its principles.
"Tetu had been working hard to manage that world for me when I was in Disebode, so Yui, you have to be nicer to your brother, okay?"
"Okay, okay!"
Although it was a little hard to accept that another child had suddenly appeared in Eight-cloud Ink and that she had a younger brother, Yui was an understanding child and quickly threw those thoughts aside.
Reaching out, the little girl smiled at Tetu. "Hey, let's go play with Flan and the others!"
"Father?"
Tetu looked up at Eight-cloud Ink, and after the latter nodded, he immediately took Yui's hand and happily ran away with his sister.
After the two little ones dragged Misaka and Orange Meow away, Yakumo waved his hand, and the mercury lamp sitting on his head immediately understood. It flapped its wings and went to take care of them while muttering to itself.
"That child … what's up with him?"
Ashina, Narako, and the others came to Eight-cloud Ink and asked.
"The [God of Games], a divine being born in Disebode because of the concept of the [Game]. He truly appeared because of the rules I established, so it's not an exaggeration to say that he's my child."
Eight-cloud Ink slowly explained Tetu's origins.
"Ah … I was still thinking that my darling's second child must be mine …"
The ahoge on Narako's head swung back and forth.
"Ah, isn't your Evil God's true form ever-changing? Maybe you can try to split a child? "
Kurumi, who came out from the shadow of a nearby cherry tree, licked her lips and squinted at Narako.
"I don't want a child that isn't born from the union with my darling!"
Narako clenched her fists and burned.
"No, Mo's second child must be Chiyoshi."
Origami, who had appeared out of nowhere, suddenly stared at Eight-cloud Ink expressionlessly.
"The third one is water-patterned paper, the fourth is patterned paper, and the fifth is carbon paper …"
"… This is not a paper mill."
Rubbing the origami's head, Yakumo lifted the origami that was trying to climb up her body and put it aside. She then asked Asuna, "Where's Big Sister?"
"Spring fatigue?"
"… Ah, I see."
Eight-cloud Ink also felt tired after hearing Ashina's words.
"Tianyi and the others, I heard that Miku is having a concert tour in the other world. Tianyi and a few other elves went to have fun. Even Lily, Yana, and Athena were dragged along to join in the fun."
Eight-cloud Ink nodded, he was happy that everyone had something they liked to do.
"By the way, do you remember the two souls that I asked Seven-sama to take care of?"
"Yeah, I think they're called Riku … Zhu Bi, right?"
"I'm going to see how they're doing."
Ashina, who wasn't interested in these things, just nodded. Then she started talking about various interesting things that happened at home.
Astrea secretly ate Ikaros's "Mohammad Stalin" and got sent flying by the Queen of the Sky. Or Azura instilled some strange knowledge into the little ones after visiting Station AB. Or Hestia's numerous failed attempts at luring Yui and the others to stay in Eulalia. Or so on and so forth …
After spending the morning with his family, Eight-cloud Ink went to the Underworld.
⑧
The Hall of Truth and Wrongs.
"Oh? Are you looking for the two reincarnated souls? "
Eight-cloud Ink didn't see Sikong Mo this time, he was greeted by Sikong Mo.
The former Sect Master of Ghost Ink no longer had the sinister look he had when they first met. His face was pale but he always had a bright smile on his face.
"Yes, how are they doing now?"
Eight-cloud Ink was concerned about the promise he made to Riku and Zhu Bi.
"Well, that's good. According to our previous agreement, the two of them will be together in this life … Let me check …"
Sikong Mo walked to the bookshelf and rummaged for a while before he found a scroll.
After he opened it, a line of words slowly appeared on the blank scroll.
"The person you are looking for is not in the service area, please try again later."
Eight-cloud Ink: "…"
Sikong Mo: "…"
"What's going on!? Not in the service area!? "
Eight-cloud Ink was shocked.
Sikong Mo scratched his head, "Ah, that means they haven't successfully gotten pregnant … Their parents are too weak …"
Slapping her forehead, Yakumo Mo shook her head and laughed. "I'm so confused. The timeline of their reincarnation is linked to the Land of Fantasy. How could they be born after just a few days of reincarnation — Hey, wait! Not pregnant!? What the hell do you mean by not pregnant? Are they going to have a miscarriage? "
"Let me see …"
Sikong Mo frowned and carefully fiddled with the scroll in his hand.
"This shouldn't be … Huh? What's going on!? "
"What's wrong?"
Sikong Mo pointed at another line of words on the scroll, "Look, Liku has successfully appeared — although he's still an embryo, there seems to be a problem with Zhu Bi's reincarnation."
Eight-cloud Ink frowned, "What's going on?"
"… Maybe it's because the soul is too weak."
Sikong Mo speculated, "Zhu Bi's race is a mecha race, I looked it up a few days ago, it seems to be a race without a soul. Zhu Bi's obsession with Liku gave birth to a soul that, strictly speaking, can't even be considered a soul — the success rate of this kind of soul reincarnation is very low."
"Then what should we do?" Eight-cloud Ink stroked the long hair on his chest, "Do we have to bring Zhu Bi back?"
"That's not necessary."
Sikong Mo was considered an expert in this field since he was a ghost after death.
"Zhu Bi's soul needs to be nurtured in the body of the reincarnated target's mother for a period of time before it can be successfully reincarnated — during this period, the mother can't get pregnant."
"How long will it take?"
Sikong Mo thought for a while and replied, "Six or seven years, it's the first time we've encountered such a situation. We don't have any work experience — Hey! In this way, they can't be twins, right? "
"Huh?" Eight-cloud Ink suddenly narrowed his eyes, "Twins? How did you arrange it? "
"Didn't you say that they have to be together from the beginning?"
Sikong Mo yawned.
"Lord Siji said that since it's' from the beginning ', they have to be together before they're born. So, after thinking about it, they're twins!"
"They're husband and wife … Are you going to let Liku's reincarnation go to the German orthopedic department?"
"You're not qualified to say this." Sikong Mo looked at Eight-cloud Ink with contempt.
Then, the latter stopped talking.
"But Zhu Bi actually had a problem at this juncture, it seems that twins are impossible … Hey! I still want to watch a good show. "
Compared to Sikong Mo, Eight-cloud Ink was relieved — his situation was special, and Eight-cloud Ink was a monster.
But Liku and Zhu Bi were ordinary humans after reincarnation, if they really became siblings …
Eight-cloud Ink felt that he still needed to save his moral integrity.
