Nekra was awake… staring into a mirror kind of confused. Afterall when had she grown taller? Was it during the demon lord harvest festival… No she hadn’t grown taller then? Maybe this was a delayed reaction, she was a head taller than Milim and Yuki seems to have grown too this was weird.

"Who's that girl lying naked on top of Safi?" Yuki asks usddinly causing Nekra to raise an eyebrow.

"Nya?" Nekra responds, sure she was awake not dreaming looking over to Milim who was dozing off on the couch nearby.

"That's Safi, nya," Nekra replies, emerging from the core to fetch her.

"Mom!" Safi exclaims, wrapping her arms around Nekra, the cat girl happy to have grown in height it would’ve been embarrassing to be the same height as her daughter, although the two ornate horns atop Safi’s head allowed the girl to appear taller than she was. The odd gleam from the metallic scales on her skin also showing just how different she was.

"Mom? Nya? Well, I suppose so," Nekra says, returning the embrace.

"Wanna go see Momma Yuki?" Nekra suggests.

Safi nods eagerly.

"So, we have a daughter?" Yuki inquires.

Nekra nods as she helps Safi put on some clothes.

"Hi, Momma Yuki," Safi greets.

"Okay... she's adorable... we need to upgrade the apartment now," Yuki remarks.

Nekra nods in agreement.

"So, Safi, care to explain how this happened?" Yuki asks.

This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work.

"Hmm? The instructions for this body were in the living core," Safi explains.

"But you created a body this quickly, nya?" Nekra asks, poking Safi's skin.

"Nano machines are remarkable, nya," Nekra remarks.

"Mom, you do realize I made myself like this because of the core you gave me, right? You didn't just give me something without knowing what it would do, right?" Safi questions.

Nekra looks away, whistling innocently.

"So, a living core, huh? Doesn't that make the dragon your main body?" Yuki queries.

Safi nods.

"I can also self-repair and do a ton of other things now. Also, Momma, could you please upgrade me now that you have crafting knowledge?" Safi requests.

"Maybe I could include the Pym particle so you could take your main body places, nya," Nekra suggests with a nod.

"What is that?" Yuki and Safi ask simultaneously.

"It's a particle that can make the space between atoms grow and shrink so you can increase or decrease in size."

"That would be nice, but how about better metals and maybe runes as well?" Safi suggests.

"How do you know what those are?" Yuki asks.

"I'm connected to the main dungeon computer. I know all about anime," Safi says with a smile.

Meanwhile, Milim suddenly wakes up.

"Who are you?" Milim asks.

"I am Safi, a robotic dragon," Safi introduces herself.

Milim looks at Nekra and Yuki for confirmation.

"This is an avatar; her real body is on the screen, nya," Nekra explains, pointing at the metal Safi's Jiiva on the monitor.

“She looks quite fearsome. She could definitely utterly destroy a medium dragon.” Milim states

"Older sister Milim? Are you moving in with us? You've been here for two years now," Yuki says.

“Can I?” Milim asks excitement in her voice.

“No,” Nekra says in an immediate shut down.

"But sweet things and anime," Milim responds.

"I wanna see Uncle Veldora. Imagine how bored he is," Nekra remarks, and Yuki nods in agreement. Hoping that said subject would derail the current direction of the discussion.

"I haven't seen him in a while either," Milim adds, thinking of her last visit to him after arriving at the dungeon two centuries ago.

"You going to upgrade me first, right?" Safi asks.

Nekra nods before returning her attention to the anime playing on the screen.

"Anime first," Yuki agrees, having also been captivated by it.

"But I know it all," Safi protests.

"Shush, just watch," Milim says, lifting the dragon girl and settling her in her lap, mirroring how Yuki holds Nekra.

Safi looks over and sees Yuki petting Nekra.

'Mom is acting just like a cat,' Safi thinks, before realizing Nekra is in fact a cat just like how she is a dragon.

Safi becomes absorbed in watching the anime as well.

While watching the anime, Yuki decides to upgrade the apartment, adding another bedroom for Safi to sleep in. She's not keen on sharing Nekra with anyone, not even their own daughter.
