Zilch and Satin returned during lunch carrying some food for Dennis . They see a clone at the side eating some food and learning from courses on a laptop .
" Oh you're back " Zilch felt strange having a clone of Dennis welcome them because the main body was the one usually doing it " I heard from your mother that you had children "
" Weird spawns " Satin said " And something I don't understand " Zilch mentioned " Well you're back , anything you need ? " " Spend time with you " Satin said and climbed on top of the clone .
They reciprocated the feelings , patting Satin's head in return " I've been thinking about it , but I think it would be great to date you two . I mostly did it because I needed someone to keep Mom from pushing those marriage prospects on me . "
Zilch suddenly becomes curious and asked " What are you planning to do that you willingly date me ? " " Some research I want to handle by myself , I can't have mom bother about me with the marriage proposals , so I hope you'll be good enough to deter them . Of course , that's just one of the reasons I'm pushing myself to do this "
The clone plays with Satin and said " In my heart , I do wish to have someone I can truly love , but I just never found the one , so that desire has shriveled , but hopefully I can get it back because a relationship where we benefit without feelings is the last thing I want "
Zilch smiled , knowing they had a chance " Then I'll make sure to study hard so I can be your research partner " Dennis was surprised and thought of the knowledge vault Shelves made .
" You'd need more than just the lessons you learn from Brain world and all the other universities you go to . But it is a good start " Zilch begins to wonder what kind of project Dennis has in mind and that the career-deciding programs were just a start .
" Is there something I should study first ? " " Primarily , you can study the power systems of each world , I'm sure they'd welcome you if you use my name . I have quite a lot of attention turned towards me whenever I handle things through my clone . "
" Oh thanks , Master " Zilch said and the clone nodded " You look really handsome with the clone on " " You like it that much ? " then Dennis attempts to flirt " I have other forms too "
" I don't want to like you because of your looks . " Zilch says shyly " Now I feel bad for wanting you for your body "
" Are there other things that you like about me ? " " You're a collective that's one thing and for some reason everyone in it is interested in me " Zilch blushed " Ehe , it's because you are a really good person "
The clone raised an eyebrow " Explain " " Uhm , you have a really bright future , you're extremely considerate , very hardworking and very caring of things that you don't have a connection to "
Dennis wondered what Zilch meant and they said " You showed a lot of disgust when eating food " " Oh , you Saw that " Dennis stopped patting Satin " What part of that is good ? "
Zilch thinks of their backgrounds " It makes me think that maybe you would feel worse that you were taking away my future . And that makes me glad that you cared enough "
' I was actually not thinking about that when I got them . I thought they were actually like objects when I got them because of a case of a girl being imprisoned and treated as an object '
" Uhm , I can hear your thoughts " Zilch said , but continued to blush " I'm sorry , I don't know how to turn it off " Zilch apologized , Dennis thought of all her creative works and already exposed preferences and Zilch began to blush more .
" Don't worry about it , it saves me a lot of time to explain " the clone said and asked Satin " And what about Satin , why do they like me ? " " They just follow what their body tells them , like right now they are close to you because they feel safe with you because of your strength "
Dennis wonders if this was because of the association that she had thought for Satin that connects strings to the DNA rather than just insects due to its connection to the relation of String to insect products like silk .
' At least I can tell that the Association they had with Industry world's eldritch being is overwhelmed by mine ' Dennis thought of giving Satin her gene Collection and simply leaves the offer open for them to accept because she's not sure what kind of beating she's going to get from her mother if that causes some trauma .
" I heard that your family has a history of divorce , which is another reason you want someone to keep up " Dennis nodded " That and I just prefer having someone who actually likes me "
" I'm sure if anyone is forced to love you , they would like you " Dennis wondered if that was a joke " No , it's not a joke . I really mean it " Dennis smiled and then said " Then can you tell if this is the main body ? " " I think so , it's weaker not only in terms of mind but also body and I don't feel like you're Dennis "
" That's right cause I'm using this body for indulging . I had to retrieve the other clones I had in the other worlds because I needed some extra mental space and because those people who want my hand in marriage keep talking to them . It'll take a while to redistribute all those clones out after this assignment , but hopefully they won't bother if I already have a "
They then look at Zilch and use Definitions to find a gender neutral word " Partner , yes , that's what I'm looking for . Although for you it would be partners , but I guess not for Satin though "
" It might be possible for Satin to be a them if you define it as a collective " Dennis thinks of "them" as a pronoun " Or it could work for your clones too , but do they grow a distinct personality ? " Zilch asked .
" I don't think so , I've confirmed it repeatedly with a detector but " Dennis then went through a train of thought " Oh dear , I gotta put that project on hold " " Are you planning to ? " " Yes , I am Zilch . As much as they are my clones and failed to pass the test , I still need this moral high ground "
Dennis begins drafting the plan on how to recover the clones she made " Let's see , it's gonna take a while , but with this , I can still keep the moral high ground . And instead of using a biological body , I can control it with String like a puppet and place an illusion . But it's going to mess with my brain if I stretch that out "
' Master's already working out a replacement for her clones . But can she handle all those things she's throwing herself into ? ' Zilch thought , but since Dennis was not asking for help , they offered it .
" Do you need any help with the matter of getting a higher moral ground " " No need , Zilch . I made the mistake of treating my clones as tools I can use , so I should fix it . I'll probably have to delay it until the evening though . I hope you don't mind me handling this thing ? "
Zilch smiled " Of course , you are doing something that shows that you really care a lot . I don't want to stop you from it , but I can definitely help you with it . I can carry the gifts if you plan to make it a part of your sourceless Project " " Thanks "
Later in the evening , Zilch Loaded a lot of time helping Dennis handle the problem of her lowered moral ground , which required a great understanding of Exponent's ability to add a dimension and created an imaginary space that she can control without using a gift .
She gave away all her gifts and her giftspace to confirm that this imaginary space is working without any problems and without any support for the gifts " Yes ... Yes YESSSS "
Dennis celebrates while Zilch was amazed by how Dennis managed to create something similar to a gift space and still preserve it without any gifts " HELL YEAH , WHO'S THE HOOKER NOW "
' She's talking about Abby ... Why ? ' Zilch thought " Alright , seems like I got some progress now , I just gotta fill it with the right atmosphere . I should also figure out how to create buildings from my gifts and Fill it . But I also need it to make a liveable space "
" You sure are doing a lot " " I have to , after that question , I have to make sure I always have the moral high ground " suddenly , Zilch becomes aware of the answers Dennis was asked to give to the eldritch curiosities and couldn't help but ask about it .
" You had contact with a higher being ? " " Oh " " I promise not to tell " " It's not about whether you keep it a secret , it's more like it's dangerous to know " " But you told your mom "
Dennis's train of thought begins running and Zilch begins to have difficulty processing this information , as they had to Load time to see what was going on and learned so much about Dennis's children .
" Those three were gifts ? " " Yes , the first gifts that I had , there are some reasons the current gifts I have do not have any semblance of sentience like mom's gift . "
Zilch was curious and asked " Can I ask about the questions ? You know the one about industrializing life ? " " Oh , that's right , that thing was followed with a series of ethical questions after I severed the String that holds your master-slave relationship with FIlter . Anyways , I just want to back my answer with proof that I have the morally high ground "
" Oh , so it's not because of you caring ? " Zilch said disappointed " Nonono , I mean it's not like I didn't care . It was just lower in the priority , but I really do care , but the vegans on the internet are making it too difficult to care " Zilch's chuckled as they saw Dennis worry rise from their single hint of disappointment while mixing some humor in .
" Ehe , so you really do care ? " " I care more now , at least " Zilch smiled " You really are a likeable person Dennis " " Am I ? " " You really are , what you said about yourself is true . So I hope you like me too for who I am , even if who I am is still growing "
" You make it sound like I'm dating a child " " Am I not one ? " " Socially , you aren't one " Dennis noted and plopped on the bed while Zilch embraced Dennis with much intimacy .
" I miss doing this Master " Satin also joins , but Dennis notes " This feels out of proportion . Satin is too small compared to Zilch " Satin then grew in size into a bigger mothman , surprising Dennis .
" I should not have said that "
...
Next day , Dennis goes back to work , while a few visitors came " You sure are working a lot " a mouth appears on her neck and talks to Willow " Sorry , I'm very busy right now . What do you want " " I'm just checking since I don't see a lot of clones around "
" There's been some changes in the way I work and so I'm no longer using my cloning ability " " Wouldn't that be a wasted trip to Super world ? " Willow asked " Look , I am going to use it , but I'd rather not abuse it . And I already have replacements for it and I'm in the process of converting it back to Field "
Willow wanted to ask about what that was , but she was only here to check on Dennis " Okay , putting that aside , how's the job ? " " Time-consuming " " Sounds bad " " Nope , it's good actually because this way I can avoid going out on dates "
" But eventually " " I'm dating both Zilch and Satin " Willow was surprised by the answer that was fired at her like a shotgun " Oh ... Oh my , are you sure ? They were slaves , you know and who knows what people might think "
" They won't think much after hearing my extraordinary performance , haven't you seen how much work there is after I got the assignment " " Yeah , there has been a lot of demand for authenticating the evidence and whether you were right about the language and the culture and gene pool "
" I'm just as surprise never knew I could do all that either " Dennis said " Really ? I guess it's true when you said that the licensure exams are garbage because they can't fully gauge your ability "
" I really want to complain about it , but it's a really good filter ... I'm wondering if I can use Filter to mark who is qualified or not " " The gift " " Yes , the gift . I have a lot of ideas for it , but just not right now . It's a good idea , but not that high in the priority list "
Willow looks at the two cooking for Dennis and said " You know , you are a very good person , but you gotta be attentive to them . " " Am I not I Loaded like an entire day's worth of time frequently to spend time with them "
" And what do you spend it for ? " Dennis's mouth stayed shut and replied " Researching my project at the top of priority list " " Dang , you really should go on a proper date "
" I will " Dennis said and continued her work while giving Willow a report " Here's an update for it , I'm actually going really well with integrating myself with the culture and I've been dropping hints to explore the world outside . The tribes are really traditional , even more than yours , because they do not go outside , but they have good games , really good for exercising "
Dennis begins talking about how the planet seems to be hell-bent on keeping each of their tribes from contacting each other , with the forest covering the skies and high-flying tribes farming the top growing plants as an example , while they are very far away from each other to notice .
" It's almost like a defensive mechanism that the plants develop because they don't want their isolated ecosystem to collapse " Willow said " That too " ' And it might be the work of the higher being because while investigating , I found a hint of their traces . Maybe that explains why they keep their titan forms as a last resort '
" I thought they could see each other with the reports noting their size growth " Willow said and Dennis commented " Their titan size a signature of their identity . Some kids are seen learning how to control it , but adults rarely use them because it consumes too much energy . But it still has some benefits if you can control them , you get a body that can store food easily and not look fat so every one look very fit "
" Yep , you're getting that perfect grade . Maybe other world webs will invite you " " Unfortunately , the clones I use will no longer be available , so I'm gonna have to tell them to write an important sidenote that I won't be capable of creating the same perfect culture integration until I find a good replacement for my clones "
" Why not ? " " Moral high ground " " Okay , I'm just going to assume that you care a lot about your clones ... You have cared a lot about your things like that bed , which is almost as old as you are "
" Just hurry and send the updated report , if the people see that I'm late , they will think I'm slow " " With all these detailed reports I don't think that will matter " " You have no idea how many people can complain even if you get a perfect score "
Dennis continues her culture integration and by night , she develops her imaginary space " Alright , I've gotten the hang of architecture " she Fills the imaginary space with plenty of buildings as well as plants and a self-sustaining infrastructure made from studying Exponents , Replicate , Fill and other gifts that can create things out of nothing after thorough study .
" Now for control " Zilch watches while carrying all of the gifts , wondering if the gifts they were carrying were going to become gift children like the first three .
They couldn't help but want to See how gifts can turn into gift children and Eye showed them what Dennis's gifts are really like ' Woah this is amazing ' First , they were marveled to See that they were able to get more analysis on the gifts compared to before and then they began digesting the information .
All these gifts were influencing one another based on the uses they had with a powerful factor like Arrows holding them all together , but the most important thing was that there was a very present thread that was supposed to be connected to Dennis .
And it was very strong , it was testing to see if the end meets Dennis as they kept attaching into Zilch's many minds " Oh , that explains why sometimes one of us feels like something is pulling us " one noted while the others grew curious about what these gifts actually are to seem so alive .
" Maybe it's searching for something ? " " It's searching for Dennis since it stays for a while and leaves each of us . Maybe she knows about it , which is why she's making us carry it instead of Satin "
While they were having a conversation with themselves , Dennis completed the checks " Yes it works , so that means " Dennis made a pillow stand and continued to animate it along with several structures .
' Good , I can control it now . I just need to integrate more like Sounds to talk and some images to show that I am around ' Dennis thought as she continued work while Zilch looked at the report to busy themselves .
' Hmm , confession incidents ? ' Zilch reads it , surprised to see how well Dennis was integrating herself into the culture , that she has come to a stage in which the tribe members want to have her full commitment .
"First confession incident , at the far end of the night half , a sheep-like tribe flexes their muscles after cutting out all of the wool in their body after taking off a jacket of wool" some pictures of the sheep trying to hold back the shivering caused by the freezing temperatures with a jacket tide around his waist .
"Second confession incident , followed by an underwater tribe of sharks , they delivered their harvest to me and said they beat their brothers to it" "Third confession incident , A bee vomits out honey on a hexagonal wax container to show that she can provide a lot of honey for future offsprings . She expresses a desire to mate with me and wishes for flowers"
"Fourth confession incident , a blind bat in the caves offers minerals as a sign of showing that they are capable of finding wealth" more of these confession incidents followed and began coinciding at the same time .
But the most important thing Dennis noted was that the cultural integration is going well because they all happened very closely and that she rejected them on the pretense that it would mean she would be trapped in their isolated culture .
"Attempted confession incident , after failing once , they went back to consult with their parents and tried to show that being their mates was good by showing that they have plenty of grass to feed ." Then came a picture of the goat being rejected by Dennis , as more of these repeated confessions followed .
Zilch became interested in the development of this part of Dennis's culture integration assignment because it shows how Dennis reacts to people .
' I wonder what master's preferred body type is ? ' Zilch can only imagine that if Dennis was used to having children that were beyond their understanding and that she encountered higher beings , she might have a more developed preference .
They looked at Satin and their ever-expanding DNA tree ' I'm sure you can satisfy that part of master ' " By the way , Zilch , why is Satin still big ? " " They are expanding their gene pool and they are still not used to carrying it with a larger body "
Dennis took a deep sigh and Zilch said " I can be small " " No need , big is fine " Dennis lay on the bed and Zilch lay beside her , handing the gifts back " The gifts seem to like you "
" Probably because I can grow them , I'd stick to myself too . But I love the feeling of growing on my own and without needing an academic institution "
Dennis made Strings , thinking of a use for them , stretching out their Definition " Can you tell me more about life as a slave ? " " For your creative work ? " " I'm also curious too and I don't think I want to engage in that creative work , in fact , I plan to get rid of them soon "
Zilch thought back with their minds and formed a chronological explanation " Well , the oldest mind I have has shown that they were one of the first to test the maintenance pods . In fact , they even showed the much later innovations being a program which they call the servitude even after death "
" That could explain Satin's String Association " Satin then plopped beside Dennis with their cute , smaller form " Yes , that part is true and even though they are searching deep inside the other worlds to reconnect with their gene pool and afterlife "
" You don't have to talk about that , I get it " Dennis said " Then , back to my life as a slave , it would be a dream for you , an optimization of growth , but they neglected the soul part of us slaves "
" Then I can just fill that part up myself , I'm a good artist , dancer , singer , so I should be able to handle it " Dennis looks at Zilch and when they turned back to face her with an appreciative smile , Dennis processed the feelings of joy quickly .
" Master , are you a tsundere ? " " Partly , because I want to be happy , but I don't want to show it " " A sign of weakness ? " Zilch asked " And a sign that I don't like the creepy grin I make when I smile , it's like the Grinch and it makes me look like a maniac "
Zilch recalls Dennis's moments when she felt joy " I can't argue with that " " Your smile is good though , not a slave that's free but someone who enjoys their life . But do keep telling me more about how they optimize your development "
" Most of them were forced , so I don't think you can use that in your imaginary space " " You're right " " But the pods are very good at preserving bodies , it keeps a slave healthy and useable and a lot of toys are preserved that way too "
" Don't they clean the house ? " " I think robots are doing that job " " Seriously , no life skills like Shrub " Zilch recalls Rule world's slaves " Uhm Master , I know you buy slaves to Save a lot of things to make life convenient , but what do you think of them ? "
Dennis begins rambling about her thoughts " They're a useful safety net to fall onto , better than starving to death and being homeless . I was actually wondering if it was possible to spread it , but I know it's not gonna be that easy , with how many laws there are and how often the magic would be broken and the fact that the Fantasia natives would hate the artificial magic "
She thought of Routen practicing the magic and Zilch asked about it " You gave them magic despite that ? " " Yep " Dennis begins thinking of how she can back that up .
" Master , are you sure that's a good idea " Zilch asked and Dennis looked at Zilch " Why wouldn't it be ? I already mastered the use of chant magic and infused the theory behind Command . So I plan to integrate more "
A smile crept into Dennis's face as she stared at the starry sky ' So she really does have a creepy smile ' Zilch pulls the blanket and embraces Dennis " Let's just go to sleep , you worked really hard " ' So this is what it's like for someone to care for me , Hazel was right , it feels great '
...
The next day Dennis felt extremely refreshed and teleported out of bed from the embrace of her two lovers ' Oh god , they are going deep into my mind now ... I can't say it's bad , though it means that the relationship is growing '
Satin pounce and latches on Dennis and she asked " What are you doing " " No more mates , they're not good for you " ' Is this about the confession ' " I know , they're like my dad and grandpa , they're not gonna like the rest of me , just as dad and grandpa didn't like the rest of mom and grandma "
" Need to mark " Dennis pinches Satin and underestimated her strength . Satin screeched loudly as their flesh was torn out " Oh shoot , sorry " Dennis saw a sharp horn stretch out of the cheek and watched in amazement .
