Chapter 478 Daughter

Eh, whos that?

Kehma, whos this? Someone you know?

Nope.

The girl opened her eyes with a snapthey looked like Id seen them somewhere before, a shade of blue. Actually, once I got a good look at her, she kind of looked like Rokuko

Just then, I felt a foreboding feeling run through me. The girl opened her mouth and her first words.

Papa! Mama! Hello, Im your daughter!

Yeah, I get it.

Youre the Dungeon Core from earlier, arent you!?

Eh, earlier? Papa and Mama? Eh, daughter wait, she looks like you, Kehma!

Oh no no no, she looks like you.

Wait, why are we talking like a couple in front of their baby?

This is me guessing, but you know how we focused our power into that core? I figure that.. well, it took in some elements from each of us and hatched into a Dungeon Core yeah?

I seeee So shes our kid! Im Mama!

So then Im Papa?

Of course my Papa and Mama would be so quick to figure it out! Youve got most of it correct!

The girl clapped her hands together and confirmed our suspicions with a smile.

I was careless. Actually, does this mean weve had our first child?

No way, for our first kid to talk and be this big the moment theyre born I guess its possible because of the whole Dungeon Core thing.

Alright, so Im going to message Otou-sama1 now.

Ah, then Ill get Haku Ane-sama

Absolutely not, Rokuko! Lets get a hold of whats happening before that!

When I stopped Rokuko from committing second degree murder and opened my menu, I saw that Id already received a message from [Father].

[Title: Congratulations, Kehma! You had your first child!]

Seriously?

A god just certified her as my daughter

I opened the message to read further.

[Maaan, first off, congratulations. It looks like you and Rokuko created an additional Dungeon Core, Kehma-kun! Id originally only prepared the preset core so you could raise your hero skills level, but both of your elements managed to boot it up. Well, you two are unmistakably the parents, so make sure to take good care of her, alright?]

It appeared to be exactly as Id guessed.

[PS: I wont be giving her a number, so name her properly! Also, I also took the liberty of connecting the DP Catalog to her so she can use it as well. Think of it as my baby shower present.]

Seriously though? Yeah baby shower, huh.

What did Otou-sama say?

That shes definitely our daughter and to give her a name.

Yaaay! What should we name her!?

Right, right! I want a cuuuuute name!

Naming my first daughters making me nervous!

She even raises her hand and speaks normally despite just being born. She doesnt seem to have any questions about whats going on, either.

It must have something to do with being a Dungeon Core. The presets [Father] mentioned must have been a set of basic knowledge, an ecology completely different from what humans have.

Wait, Kehma. Lets come up with a name for her together. Shes our daughter, after all.

S-Sure. Right wait, first, you. What happened to your actual body, the Dungeon Core?

Eh? Its just in there?

The girl pointed to the [Storage] Id left open.

Youre not saying my [Storage] turned into a dungeon, are you?

My dungeon is Mamas [Storage]!

Ah, yeah figured huh? What did you just say?

Its Mamas [Storage]

!?

Wait, why am I Mama!?

? Based on my knowledge of the situation, I decided that Mama is Mama! Huh? Is something about that weird?

Im a man, so Im Papa!

Ah, I guess? Youre a man so youre Papa? I dont know anything about that.

Yo, Dark God. The heck are with these presets of yours?

In the case that god isnt here, god is Papa, not Mama!

Oh, now that you mention it

Right, you had the same kind of education, huh Rokuko

Dungeon Cores were gods children, so they themselves were similar to gods and following that logic, Im Mama? Come on, what kind of gender free god is this?

Im a human and Rokukos a human-type core, so apply your logic from a humans point of view.

Question, Mama! Shouldnt god take priority over humans?

Its fine, please just go with a humans point of view Right, Rokuko doesnt want to be called Papa either ,right?

Huh? I dont really mind either way though.

Not good. Im going to have to do something here before its too late.

I briefly wondered if Haku-san would prefer me being the Mama, but then figured that shed have the same sentiment as Rokuko and not care

Kehma. The important thing is that shes ours. Isnt deciding which of us is Papa or Mama trivial?

Thats a noble thought, but doesnt it sound like I gave birth to her?

Didnt you?

Rokuko pointed to my [Storage].

Ah, that. Well hearing someone call me Mama Kehma physically hurts me, so please just call me Papa.

Got it! Papa!

I dont really mind, but is it like that in Japanese? Alright if thats how it is.

Thats all it took!?

Nothats good. They said so. No takebacks.

Alright, back to her name. This whole situation is about an additional core, so how about we call her Soto for now?

Karinisoto? Whats the meaning of that name?

Whyd she include [karini]?2

Just as I tried to correct her, she clapped her hands together with a smile.

Karinisoto! What a nice name. Soto means outside, elsewhere, and additional in Japanese!

Drop the for now part, okay? I was saying for now.

For now means temporarily, for a moment, for now. Its from another world!

Karinisoto, Soto for short! Additional for now how cute! Its the best!

A cores sense of aesthetics is a mystery! I wonder if its just that it being a foreign language is cool?

She was so happy she was basically squirming wait, are you telling me youre making the final decision on it being Karinisoto?

Well think about the name later! Karinisoto is rejected!

No. Its decided. I am Karinisoto! Call me Soto-chan please~

Please think this through

Then give me some socks. Ill think about it if you give me some socks Oh, whats this? Papa isnt wearing socks! And there arent any in his [Storage]. Too bad, buying more isnt allowed!

The hecks she talking about? I mean sure, I dont wear socks in my room though.

Therefore, my name is KarinisotoSoto!

Good for you, Soto. Ah, my name was given to me by Kehma, it means 695 in another world.

Uwaaah! Papas a naming genius!

Rokuko pumped her chest out in pride. Im so sorry. Its all my fault.

Oh yeah, I have to contact Narikin and everyone on time (escaping reality).
