I don't know when I fell asleep but it seems that I was going crazy before Mr.tutorial forced me to sleep. The last moments before I fell asleep, I remember something happening but what was it?

I open my eye's and saw the sun rising. If I recall it was the afternoon before I fell into darkness...ah...MY BLANK CORE!!!

I get up immediately and felt a huge pull on my arm causing me to topple onto it. Our eyes met, my mind goes blank. I even felt like I was about to pass out again from shock. I don't even know how to describe this thing other than with the word monstrosity or something out of the Cthulhu Mythos.

"GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" ( Alicia )

...

"...Do you...hate me?..." ( ??? )

I was able to calm down again but seriously just looking at it is eating away my sanity. So I tried to not look at it as much as possible. So all I can do is look down while talking. Although its voice is bearable I don't think I should listen to it for too long.

"I don't hate you, just that...looking at you is bad for my heart." ( Alicia )

"...master is cruel..." ( ??? )

I was also able to find the blank core is well within my arms, along with the part of myself I put into it. But my delight was instantly washed away by the existence of this thing.

"Sorry, but please understand, that form of yours...please hide it somehow." ( Alicia )

I feel my connection to this monster, but I am unable to understand anything at the moment. Even Pride's filter isn't working, how do I know? there are tears coming from my eye's from the terror I am currently experiencing. As much as I want to solve the current situation please hide that form quick.

"...Then is this form better?..." ( ??? )

"?" ( Alicia )

The voice has become like a normal person's, thinking such I slowly look up. The humanoid Cthulhu incarnate is nowhere to be seen and is replaced by a child. Since it is currently in its birthday suit, I could see everything. First off, this thing has no gender and has a rather familiar form.

"Copy slime?" ( Alicia )

Yes, the form it is taking bares a huge resemblance to the form the copy slime was taking before it's transformation into my core but with short neck length blueish black hair with amber eyes.

"...yes..." ( ??? )

"..." ( Alicia )

Ok, what is going on. How in the world did that copy slime comeback to life? and I don't know what to say to it since I did use it to create my new dungeon, so does it hate me?

"...Came back...because of ...big sis and...I don't hate...master...but the way...you tried to...keep us from...eating confuses me..." ( slime )

...

Wait, did you just read my thoughts!?

"...no...it's showing...all over...your face..." ( slime )

Is that true? am I'm that expressive? but wait, due to Pride my current expression should be ice cold.

"...big sis is resting...so you currently...have full control..." ( slime )

Aah, alright. might be better to start getting to know the situation.

"How were you brought back, and big sis?" ( Alicia )

Kagami points at me. But Kagami just before referred to me as master but pointed to me when I asked about this big sis?

"Is it Pride by any chance?" ( Alicia )

"...yeah...and I don't know...how big sis...brought me back..." ( slime )

Ok, Pride was taking control while I was asleep...If I think about it, may result in something horrifying for my mentality so I'll leave it. I also need to answer this slime's past confusion.

"Back then I was just trying to stay away as much as possible from cruel murder since when I fell asleep at the time those instincts would do it without a care. Not to say its absolutely wrong since sometimes killing is necessary but I just don't like attacking and killing those unrelated unless they try something like those creeps." ( Alicia )

"...I see..." ( slime )

It falls into deep thought, pondering something. It's weird since it can hear my thoughts just fine but I can't hear it's. I wonder how much it has changed.

I pull up its status.

[Doppel Slime] SubCore

-HP: Champion

-MP: Champion

-STR: Champion

-DEF: Champion

-MAG: Champion

-AGI: Champion

-Aura: Hunger/Insanity/Distortion

-Innate Abilities: Gluttony, Doppelganger, Morph

-Abilities: Stealth, Concealment, Presence Cloak, Blend, Disguise

-Powers: Psychokinesis, Detection

-Resistance: All-Rounded Resistance

...Other than keeping what was given to it, it has changed a lot. A new section is even added. but Hunger/Insanity/Distortion Aura? There might just be a lot I don't know about aura yet so I'll leave this.

'Doppelganger' is self-explanatory and so is 'Morph' but doesn't quite make sense since one way or another they could be the same thing, as a skill to transform.

'Gluttony' should mean it's also a 'Sin' but there is no explanation and unlike pride, Mr.Tutorial didn't start saying weird lines again. It just remained silent.

But this is a sub-core monster? Although I feel a connection, I don't feel any control over it...might be better not to think about it.

Probably better to give it a name instead of referring to it as 'it' but if I were to give it a name then it should have a good meaning and ring to it. Thinking about it, the word 'Doppel' can mean 'double' and in a way, it's a reflection like a mirror. Mirror sounds good, but as a name for someone doesn't sound good in English but in another language, it should have a really good ring to it.

Kagami sounds good, Kagami Geonheart.

"For your name how about Kagami, Kagami Geonheart?" ( Alicia )

"...I like it..." ( slime )

"Alright then, your name shall be Kagami Geonheart" ( Alicia )

"...thanks..." ( Kagami )

wow, even a smile from this child can look so cute. But back on point.

"I should get Pian to make some clothes for you as well since that appearance is a bit...and how about I cook you something to eat and see if it's better than the stuff you normally feed on?" ( Alicia )

"...cook?..." ( Kagami )

I might be able to pull this hungry slime away from a road of gory murder if I can satisfy it's stomach with refined food, even if it doesn't work in the end I still have to try.

I first get Pian from my shadow and have it create some clothes. I go to my item's catalog and check the prices for the mobile kitchen, the cutlery, table, and chairs. I recall that I used a huge amount of DP to transform into mana to fuel the domain magic so I should not have much DP left.

[Current Amount: 398,963 DP]

"..." ( Alicia )

No this shouldn't be right, last time I checked it, it was around 200,000DP so where did all this extra DP come from?

"...big sis and me...went to retrieve...the blank core...and killed them all...in the process...they were all worth...a lot..." ( Kagami )

Well, that explains everything.

...I'll just focus on cooking. Since the event has already finished.

Purchasing the mobile kitchen trailer, as well as everything else to cook up a good meal. I prepare the table, chairs dishes, and cutlery. Except for the mobile kitchen which cost around 5000 and the extra for its battery, everything else was worth under 1000DP. I got everything now, I just need to know what to cook.

There should still be some minotaur in the 'shade space' but I never thought about it. Is monster meat edible?

----

Then I just need to work on cutting the minotaur down to size. I take it out and begin wondering if I can bring it down to size since even Kagami is just the size of it's lower leg.

"...If you want then I can help..." ( Kagami )

I began working with Kagami to get good-sized chunks of meat which I begin to cook. Although I don't have any memories of cooking, I know the process to do so.

...

It comes so naturally to me, whether it's cutting the meat up. Removing the unnecessary portions or even frying up this meat and adding all the topping.

"...Master...done yet?..." ( Kagami )

"Not yet, and stop drooling." ( Alicia )

Not even 5 minutes into this process and Kagami is already like this. Well, I can only expect as much since this one has the sin of Gluttony and is understandably curious of new kinds of food. I can imagine it wanting to fill its stomach but sometimes taste can become an important factor in satisfying one's hunger.

After I'm done making this minotaur steak, Kagami gobbles it up without restraint and in one bite before I was even able to put it on the plate. Oiii, I put a table and chair there for a reason!

"...More..." ( Kagami )

"..." ( Alicia )

After the first taste, Kagami...became engrossed with my cooking. Even showed a bit of a scary look.

...

Kagami was not satisfied until I cooked up the entire minotaur and feed it to Kagami. But this was also good since Pian is done with a new set of clothes for Kagami.

"...if you keep cooking me this...then I won't eat something else without your permission...is this fine?..." ( Kagami )

"...ah, yeah, that's fine." ( Alicia )

I wasn't expecting that to be easy, but now I have to feed Kagami with a lot of cooked food now. But I haven't even taken a bite of the minotaur steak I cooked up yet since Kagami steals it away before I can.

Oh well, if I can manage Kagami then I should be good at the moment. Thinking such, I find another mountain and head towards it after stowing away everything.
