by fnovelpiaThe next morning.
We slowly woke up and prepared to head to Eclipse headquarters.
“..Ugh.”
“Are you still sleepy?”
I hugged the girl who was leaning next to me and nodding.
Then, she kept her eyes closed and wagged her tail in time with my steps.
“It’s time to get up now.”
“Woong…”
Dori dori.
At my words, the girl shook her head and snuggled deeper into my arms.
..This is it.
“Looks good, Maker.”
“Ah, Senior Researcher.”
While I was trying to wake her up.
Traitor 1 was looking this way and smiling as if he liked the sight.
“If you’re going to do it, please be spoiled. When I was in the lab, I couldn’t have expected something like this.”
She wasn’t laughing in a disgusting way like before, making men feel bad.
Is it because the focus of the laughter is on the girl rather than me?
‘Anyway, I guess I should wake up soon.’
Today is the day to meet Astra.
Astra isn’t that kind of person, so it should be okay.
‘Wouldn’t it be better to show a smart appearance?’
It’s a tantrum, I can listen to it any time next time.
I shook her and waited for her to wake up naturally.
“You have to get up.”
“Wooong..!”
The girl shook her head again, whining as if telling me not to wake her up.
I continued to shake her shoulder, chuckling at her cute appearance.
“You’re not going to wake up?”
“Yeah..”
“Baby? Miss?”
“……”
There’s nothing I can do.
“Rir.”
Snap.
At my words, a girl suddenly prickled her ears.
I gently ruffled her outstretched hair and spoke in an affectionate voice.
“It’s time to get up, Mr. Lir.”
“..That, that’s my dream..?”
Then Lir raised his head and looked at me.
Her bright eyes clearly showed that she was extremely excited.
“I wouldn’t have called a child I didn’t know by his name.”
“…!!”
Her eyes gradually widened and the corners of her mouth twitched.
Boom boom boom-!!
Lir’s tail began to shake as if it had a motor.
‘Is it really that good to have a name?’
Lir.
This is the name I thought of yesterday when I picked her up from her sleep.
Because it was made based on a project I heard about from Traitor 1, I felt like it was made more roughly than I thought.
Thump, thump.
“Riru..Rir..Rir, Rir!! Hehe!!”
Boom boom boom boom-!!!
“……”
I feel guilty because I like it so much.
“Are you fully awake now?”
“Yes!!”
“Lirra..what a cool name?”
“Yeah!!”
And the traitor1 was quietly observing the scene from afar.
He chuckled and agreed with her words as if they were amazing.
“Riru..no, Rir! My name is Rir!!”
“You can already say your own name well. That’s amazing.”
“Hehehe!”
Lir keeps smiling while correcting her pronunciation.
I continued to praise her until she was satisfied.
‘..But how long do I have to keep doing this?’
For a while, the dunga dunga towards Lir continued.
Squeak..
“Brother?”
Our commotion woke Gayeon up, and she came over to us, rubbing her eyes.
Glance.
Gayeon understood our situation.
“Riru, Rir..hehehe!”
A little boy who keeps repeating the name Lir and can’t control his ears and tail.
“Wow, that’s great. It’s great.”
I became a compliment bot, looking a little tired.
“Phew, phew!”
And what’s so funny is that even the traitor 1 turns his head and snickers.
“..?”
As soon as she woke up, Gayeon looked at me and activated her power, wondering what was going on.
‘Brother.’
A recently learned telepathic ability.
But because it wasn’t that strong, the range wasn’t wide, and direct words weren’t heard.
If we really have to be specific, should we consider it a superior version of communicating through eye contact?
‘What’s the situation now?’
But that alone was enough to fully understand what she was saying.
‘It’s nothing. It’s just that this child is happy that he has a name, so I’m just responding accordingly.’
‘Name? Didn’t he have a name?’
‘Yes.’
Gayeon looks over the current situation with an expression that says, “So that’s why…”
Suddenly a good idea occurred to me, so I spoke to Lir.
“Look over there, Mr. Lir. There’s Sister Gayeon.”
“Huh? Yes.”
“How about Mr. Lir saying hello? Didn’t you say hello properly yesterday?”
“Ah..!!”
Only then did Lir realize my intentions, and she wagged her tail even more vigorously, while Gayeon made an annoyed expression.
‘If you help me this time, I’ll go to the amusement park.’
‘Negotiations completed.’
At my words, Gayeon looked at me and gave me an okay sign.
‘The mission is over. I guess I can rest for a bit.’
Now it was time to go meet Astra.
***
“…Welcome.”
“You’re finally not surprised.”
A moment later, in Astra’s office.
Astra, not knowing how to recognize us who appeared from behind, greeted us without even looking back.
“How did you know?”
“I thought it would come at this point. I was covering the entire room with my psychic powers.”
Then you can feel a foreign body sensation.
Astra drinks tea as if it were nothing special.
‘..Is it as easy as it sounds?’
I was surprised by her words.
In effect, he was controlling this entire large room with his telekinesis.
And you said you wouldn’t be surprised to see us, even in the middle of a battle, and at any moment you didn’t know we’d come.
‘I forgot, but this guy is an executive too.’
“But…what are you hanging all that on?”
Let me just admire Astra’s antics for a moment.
Astra, who had turned her chair, looked at me with a tired expression.
“I didn’t come here because I wanted to do this.”
I looked at the two girls in my arms.
Originally, I was planning to move while holding Lir, who is much younger than Gayeon, but…
‘Hug me too.’
A problem arose with Gayeon’s request.
When I put Lir down and tried to hug Gayeon, Lir whined and refused to leave my arms.
But if I hugged Lir and left Gayeon alone, Gayeon’s cheeks would swell up as if they were going to burst.
‘Wow, I’m jealous. A harem of minors!’
‘If you don’t want to get a hole in your head, just keep quiet.’
‘yes.’
In the end, what can I do?
I pushed myself too hard and lifted them both with both arms.
I was a little worried because Gayeon was taller than Lirbo, but fortunately they were both light, so it wasn’t too difficult.
‘The center is well maintained.’
The current situation is that I am hugging the two girls, and Traitor 1 is moving while holding onto Gayeon’s sleeve.
“Minor collector.”
“Why are you doing this to Astra too?”
I stared at Astra with a dumbfounded expression.
‘No, isn’t that a bit unfair?’
In the latter half of the original work, we tried to select useful characters who were still mentally sound, so the only thing that happened was that their ages got younger.
It’s not like I have that kind of sexual preference, it just happened that this situation came about.
There was no other reason than that.
And this time, he even brought a proper adult male.
But I’m gay.
“Let’s sit down for now. We need to talk about the mission and check on the talents the maker brought.”
Woof-
Knock knock.
Astra, who had read my expression, snickered and pulled out the chair with her telekinesis before looking at us.
***
“..Then, it would be better for the senior researcher to move to the research department under the doctor’s supervision.”
“Thank you for giving me this great opportunity. I will work faithfully for the organization”
“What? If you’re a senior researcher at Z-Bio, we should be able to bring you here.”
Of course, we will monitor and verify it for several months to a year.
Astra swallowed her words and laughed.
“So you’re a researcher… What was our little one’s name?”
“Rir! Rir!! Pretty sister!”
Lir smiled brightly at Astra’s words and boasted about his own name.
‘cute..’
Astra maintained a calm demeanor toward Lir, even suppressing her internal screams.
“You can think of our Lir as belonging to the maker.”
“Affiliation..?”
“To put it simply, you can think of it as saying that you can continue to stay with me in the future.”
As the Maker stroked Lir’s black and white hair, Lir perked up her ears as if she was pleased.
“I like your girlfriend! Thank you. That’s all for now, sis!”
Soon, Astra was moved to see Lee standing up and greeting her after hearing the maker’s explanation.
‘Finally a proper child..’
He didn’t even call himself a chicken coop when we first met.
He didn’t even say that the woman would become hysterical if he urged her just a little.
What an angel!!
He was so much nicer than the little devil who was making a grumpy face at him from the side!
“Then, I think we’re done talking, so I’ll take my leave now.”
“..Goodbye.”
“Yes. I will help guide the researcher on the way.”
It’s a shame to see Lir go, but there’s nothing I can do about it.
The maker left after saying that he intended to rest for a few days.
“……”
Astra put down her shaking hand.
Unlike before, she had a serious expression on her face.
“’Creature Series’..is that it?”
Astra recalled the bandages wrapped around Lir’s body, her perked ears, and her wagging tail.
Among those with this ability, there are cases where physical deformation occurs.
Although rare, some people are born with supernatural powers, and their bodies are transformed to match their supernatural powers.
‘But, if it’s Z-Bio with the ability to personify…’
Z-Bio is carrying out various projects.
However, as far as she knew, there was only one main project that could use the water personification ability.
“Damn Z-Bio, you still haven’t stopped researching that?”
Astra started to contact someone with a cold, hard expression.
