"Congratulations, Lord Okja"

That's what Chloe said when she finished searching for a cloth spreader to replace her delivery and wrapped the baby with.

This is how it goes on.

"You finally have a daughter between Chloe and Ruji-sama. It's a crystal of love between you two."

"When and where do I make love with you?

"Weren't we together for the last hundred years without a moment away? Crumb loose."

"Don't be crummy."

"But let's be true, shall we?

"That would be an assistant to research"

"There is no law that there should be no love between you and your assistant."

"There's no love between a sage and a mechanical doll."

That being said, I stared at the baby. I'm in Chloe's arms now, and I'm flabbergasted.

"... but well, is this kid really a homunculus?

"Is there any other possibility besides homunculus?

"For example, at the moment of the explosion, someone might have transferred you to that room."

"By whom? Why? Why? That kind of imitation?

"To please me and make me laugh."

"I've been in a cage for a thousand years. Is there someone who makes such a prank and gains?

"... you're not here. That's impossible in the first place."

There's a lot of classified information in that experimental building. The security was double-tripled to avoid being taken away by other wise men and magicians. It's impossible to break in with metastatic magic.

"Then there's a chance that there was a baby there from the beginning."

"This girl isn't even on her neck yet, is she? Are you saying you went inside the experiment building?

"It's also possible that someone has guided"

When I say that, Chloe points to herself.

What does that mean?

She answers.

"The only thing you can put in that experimental facility is Chloe, except for the Tsuruji. Then the killer will be Chloe."

"No way. You don't suspect"

"No, doubt it. Chloe is a machine doll (automaton). You may have altered your memory (log)."

Chloe eagerly insists, so I touched her chest and tried to open the circuit, but there was no suspicious information left.

She is completely white.

"So this girl is still a child born in that experiment?"

"Right, this kid is the dwarf in the flask. It's a homunculus. It's the first time in the world that we've produced life."

It was Chloe who would say proudly as she did about me, but what about it?

Certainly this child seems to be Homunculus, but it was not the product of experiments that gave birth to this child, but the by-product of accidents.

The experimenter didn't create it on purpose.

It was this child who was born with the energy generated by the explosion when the flames fired by Wyburn burned into the chemicals and materials that had been accidentally placed.

"The point is, when I had an explosion, it was this kid who was born. I didn't create it on purpose."

Can I call that an achievement, or I worry.

If I announced to the Magic Society, my name would have spread instantly and I would have been assured that I would have received the title of Great Sage, but this child was born by chance and cannot be reproduced. It's a little forceful to call that a feat.

Alchemy is science. Under the same conditions, anyone can reproduce using the same method.

At least if the operator is the same, it makes no sense if he can't reproduce it as many times as he wants.

That was the big premise.

But it still doesn't change the fact that I'm the one who created Homunculus in this world.

So troubled, Chloe has told us that it is more important than such end-of-life issues.

This is what Chloe said when she forced the baby into my arms.

"Lord Takashi, Lord Takashi will now report this child to the Sorcery Society or he will be troubled"

…………

You were right, so answer by silence.

"Chloe is the big opposite. This child is the loving daughter of Chloe and Ruji-sama. I disagree with reporting it to the Society to expose it to public curiosity."

"This kid's not me and your kid, but it's certainly not sneaky to be turned into a Society toy. Besides, this country prohibits the study of homunculus. If we're going to announce this, we're going to have to exile."

With that said, Chloe praised "That's just the way it is," adding:

"More than anything else, I feel like a father. So, first of all, will you fulfill your responsibilities as a father?"

"The first step of responsibility?

"First of all, it's marital status. Unmarried men and women have children and so on. The opposite will happen before and after, but let's file a marriage notice with the lord."

When she says so, she gives the marriage certificate that she had put in her nostalgia. There it said the name Kate and the name Chloe.

Tear it apart silently. Chloe desperately tries to repair the "imperfect".

"When did you get that crap ready?"

"I made it for you three months later. I was after the opportunity. It's taken me hundreds of years, but I was finally going to be able to help..."

…………

"Kohon" coughs gently when she is stunned by Chloe's behavior.

"Well, that's a joke now. I need you to take on more important responsibilities."

No, that marriage certificate. The thumbprint was properly pressed, and it was real. And that look, it didn't seem like a joke.

I thought so, but I dared not touch any further and decided to listen to her claim.

Because she spoke out with a serious look.

"This child accidentally gave life to this world, but he will need a name if he is born into this world. And I think it's the responsibility of the creator, Tarushi, to give this child a name. Make sure you give him a nice name."

When Chloe said so, she let down her cherry blossom lips.
