As expected, the one that was chosen in the end was Rokuko.
They were both dungeon cores, so there was an unspoken bond between them. This was a connection that was formed before they were even born, so of course the dungeon core would feel safe with Rokuko.
But the problem was…it made everyone else sad and disappointed.
Shaking my head with a faint smile, I said, “If I’m your papa and all of them are my wives, what does that make them to you?”
When the dungeon core heard this, it came out of Rokuko’s embrace and turned as if it was looking at me. Then after a slight tilt which was strange since it was just an orb, it said, “They are also my mama?”
It felt a bit wrong when the dungeon core said it like this, but Lin Fan still simply said, “Yes.”
The dungeon core fell silent, but it felt like it was sizing up the girls in front of it.
The girls also felt this, so they tried to put on their best appearance.
Though in the end, the dungeon core hid itself in Rokuko’s arms.
It seemed like it would take a while before it was able to open up its heart to these girls. Still, it wasn’t as if this was something that could be forced in the first place.
Lin Fan could see their disappointed looks, so he said, “Just try your best to change its mind.” Then after a pause, he added, “Well, don’t be too forceful or you might have the opposite effect.”
The girls still looked disappointed when they heard this, but they still nodded in agreement.
Lin Fan had wanted to say something else, but there was another notification that suddenly appeared in front of him.
It was another summon from Weiss.
Lin Fan could see that Rokuko was also looking at him with a gaze as if asking him what to do.
Then before he could say anything, the dungeon core said, “Papa, what does this mean? It says that someone wants to talk to…”
Lin Fan quickly gave a cough to stop the dungeon core before it could say anything else.
However, just what it said was already enough to arouse suspicion from the other girls. They all turned to look at Lin Fan, as if they were questioning him about this.
But Lin Fan just awkwardly scratched his face as he said, “I just can’t tell you, I’m asking you to trust me.”
They looked at him with looks of doubt for a bit, but they accepted it with nods in the end.
After that, Lin Fan said, “When we disappear later, don’t worry. We’ll be back after some time, so just wait for us.”
Hearing that, it was impossible for them not to feel worried. But still, they didn’t say anything and just gave nods of trust.
Once he told them this, Lin Fan went over to Rokuko and then thought to accept the summon.
As soon as he did, the same thing happened as last time where they were sent to a different place.
This time, it was a completely different room and it was Weiss with a completely different feel.
Based on what was around them, this place seemed like some kind of lab. Moreover, Weiss had changed from his sloppy appearance into that of a researcher.
Gods had beautiful appearances in the first place, so it wasn’t as if he wasn’t handsome. It was just that he looked quite ragged before that his handsome appearance was hidden.
Now that he was dressed like this, it really painted a different picture.
Both Lin Fan and Rokuko were caught off guard when they saw him like this.
After a hit of silence, Weiss asked, “What are you doing standing there for?”
Both Lin Fan and Rokuko revealed awkward looks since they didn’t know what to say. It was just too bad that they forgot that gods could read their thoughts, so Weiss already knew what they were thinking.
With a smile on his face, he waved his hand at them and said, “Alright, enough of that. Come over and let’s take a look.”
Lin Fan and Rokuko were confused when they heard this, but they still went over to where Weiss was standing.
There was what seemed to be something that seemed like a research table that was there in front of him.
Once they went over, Weiss suddenly reached his hand out towards the two of them, as if he was waiting for them to hand over something.
The two of them looked at each other before looking down at the dungeon core that was in Lin Fan’s hand.
As the silence hung in the air, the dungeon core slowly realized what was happening before saying, “Wait, what’s going on? I don’t want this.”
But Weiss didn’t listen at all as he waved his hand and the dungeon core came out of Lin Fan’s hand. Even if he wanted to resist, it was impossible for him to do so since this was the power of a god.
Someone like him couldn’t resist this at all.
It was almost as if the dungeon core had teleported as when it realized where it was, it found that it was already in Weiss’ hand.
“No, what’s going on?”
The dungeon core complained to no avail.
Weiss brought the dungeon core over to the lab table and pulled out various instruments to use on the dungeon core.
But before he could start, Rokuko couldn’t help asking, “Father, will it hurt him?”
Weiss was surprised to hear this, but he still turned around to say, “It won’t hurt at all. I’m just running a simple scan on him to find out some things.”
Rokuko still had a worried look, but she gave a nod of understanding.
During all of this, the dungeon core had been struggling while in Weiss’ hand. It had only been when Rokuko spoke that the dungeon core settled a bit.
As for Lin Fan, he couldn’t help muttering to himself, “So it’s a male?”
Dungeon core physiology really was hard for him sometimes…
There were some strange sounds that came from the instruments that Weiss held up to the dungeon core, as well as some strange lights. However, during all of this, they all remained quiet to see what would happen.
That even included the dungeon core who had been strangely silent after hearing Rokuko call Weiss ‘father’.
After some time, there was a ding that came from one of the things on the table.
When this happened, Weiss put away the instruments that he had been holding and went over to the table to check the thing that dinged.
One might think that it was like a computer, but it was anything like that.
It was just a crystal orb that one might think would be used for divination, but Weiss was looking at it and tapping on it as if it was some kind of computer. During all of this, he kept muttering to himself, “Interesting, very interesting.”
It seemed like he had found something from investigating the dungeon core, but it didn’t seem like he was going to tell anyone else.
So there was only the sounds of Weis muttering to himself that rang out as they tried to figure out what to do.
That was until the dungeon core suddenly said, “Mister, are you really mama’s father?”
Weiss had been too focused on what he was looking at that he didn’t hear this at first, but the dungeon core repeated it in a louder voice which caught his attention.
Weiss turned to look at the dungeon core and then gave a slight nod as he said, “That’s right. I was the one that created the system that created your mother, so I’m her father.”
There was a silence that followed after this before the dungeon core suddenly said, “Then you’re grandpa!”
There was another silence that followed when the dungeon core said this.
Lin Fan and Rokuko just both had a shocked look on their face when they heard this.
Though Rokuko had won the spot as the dungeon core’s mother, she knew that this was only just temporary until they met Weiss. Once they did, the dungeon core should have recognized Weiss as his creator and then acknowledged him as his father.
Then he would have recognized Rokuko as a sister rather than a mother.
But who would have thought that the dungeon core would jump a generation and directly call Weiss grandfather…
Lin Fan and Rokuko slowly looked at each other as if they were trying to figure out what to say to calm Weiss down, but it was too late for that. They had been in a daze for too long that Weiss had already reacted.
Weiss just looked down at the dungeon core and asked, “Can you say that again?”
The dungeon core immediately said in an even more excited voice, “You must be grandpa!”
Both Lin Fan and Rokuko wanted to dive into a hole when they heard this.
They didn’t know how Weiss would react to this, but there was no way that it would be positive…or at least that was what they thought.
To their surprise, Weiss had a very calm look on his face after he heard this.
He just looked at the dungeon core in silence for a bit before suddenly breaking out in laughter.
Lin Fan and Rokuko wanted to brace themselves because they felt that this laugh wasn’t a good thing.
But once again to their surprise, Weiss said, “Good, you can just call me grandpa then.”
