Chapter 784 - Clone Meeting? This is Weird...

.

.

Am I an asshole?

I mean, no…

No, I don't want you to answer that question.

Anyways, Alice brought something quite… important that I never actually cared for.

Slime Clones, Spatial Slime Clones, Summoning Clones, Production Clones, Cooking Clones, and more…

All these Clones are made by dividing a part of my large mass and then give it a piece of my soul.

They often possess a copy of my ego shifted in some kind of augmented emotion, like split minds.

But because they are made from me, they serve me no matter what.

They obey me no matter what too.

So I often give it for granted with them.

But yeah, just as Alice said, they are… well, not really that.

I mean, they are my clones, but now, they are their own type of being.

They are individuals of their own, with their own egos, just like Cyrene recently.

I wonder if I should do something for them?

Also, most of them pray to me!

Wait, that is interesting…

Yeah, I wonder if they can increase the power I get from prayers?

Wait, if it is the case then… cannot I just produce more and more of them for that purpose?

…No, I think I should not do that, they are good for now as they are.

Let's not jump into the fray and create more clones that will go through the problems I am imagining they're going through, alright?

But now that I inspect, I realize that they do indeed have their own lives in a lot of stuff, they are not simply mindless clones waiting for me to order them around, after all, they are their own people.

Because I am always so busy, I often do not see what they're doing, but all of them have very complex and different lives…

Although I have discovered that several of them have… Eh?!

Oh…

Oh damn, so that is it.

I guess I already kind of… knew this, but now, it is like I have realized it being real.

I always give everything for granted… but yeah, this is pretty shocking even if I already know it long ago!

Even then, this is surprising.

Well…

"Now that I check on them, you are right… They do indeed have their own lives…" I said as I sat down at the side of my family.

"Masta, why that face?" asked Rimuru.

"W-Well… Around… 70% of my Slime Clones or other types of clones… Already have a romantic and s.e.x.u.a.l partner…" I said.

Although some of them had seen my clones doing some things around, they never went to the extent of constantly watching over our people, so they never truly realized it, just like me.

"Indeed… And it's surprising too, most of them have around one or two romantic partners… there are various that even are with males," I said.

"Oh?! Masta I never knew you were hitting into that zone too, guu!" said Rimuru.

"Maybe you could allow Marnet then?" asked Zehe.

"W-Wait a second, where did that question come from out of the sudden, Zehe?!" I asked.

"A-Ah… Nothing… nothing…" said Zehe while averting her gaze.

Marnet is indeed a handsome god!

But I am not interested in him romantically nor s.e.x.u.a.lly!

"Anyways… Indeed, a lot of the clones are with wives or… husbands… And well, it seems that some of them even… have children… Oh… And even some… are pregnant… by their… husbands…" I said.

I mean, I know they were made from my minds as split minds, but I never imagined that they would… Yeah…

I guess if you diverge my own split minds a lot, some will sooner or later being to hit in the other zone I have not dared to touch?

Maybe some just experimented and liked to be with a man?

Should I do that to find out?

I got a nice cast of handsome males that might- What am I even thinking about?!

This was not a conversation to begin experimenting with my s.e.x.u.a.lity!

L.e.w.d thoughts go away!

But yeah, seeing them be so happy with such manly guys… they are even kissing and all!

And as I keep looking, I keep finding more…

I guess they are really different people from me, completely.

And thankfully, the majority of them don't take my exact appearance either, so it's all fine.

"I suppose they're really different people altogether from me… And yeah, they have their own lives and other stuff… though, there is a large group still seeking a couple. It seems that this is most of their main goal…" I said.

"I wonder how much of the young born in our Empire are just the children of your clones?" asked Nesiphae.

"I don't want to think about it… But I could guess that… a sizable amount of them…" I said.

"O-Oh… Do they count as your children, mom?" asked Amiphossia.

"No… I do not think they count! And I do not want to think about it, because it would… simply become way too chaotic! And now that I think about it, some of my clones died in the war, and I revived them… they had families and all… They looked very different than me, so I often thought they were other people…" I said.

"You're pretty dummy sometimes, aren't you?" asked Gaby.

"Eh?! Gaby-chan, how can you say that! …But yeah," I sighed.

"Maybe we could make a meeting with all your clones so we can get to know their families? It would be fun!" said Nephiana.

"I… I don't know…" I said.

"Good idea Nephiana, I believe it would be an enriching experience to know such people. After all, they are like Kireina's children, right? Created from her through something similar to mitosis… It would be interesting to… investigate…" said Charlotte.

Hmm… I am beginning to think that Charlotte might not have the best of intentions!

"Anyways, it would be quite interesting to meet them, I approve of Nephiana's decision," said Sofelaia.

"Me too, it might be rather interesting! I mean, all those wives and husbands that are with your clones… what do they think about them? Do they think they are with you and that's why they're with them? Maybe being with one of your clones can fulfill their fantasies of being with you, Kireina! Never thought about that?" asked Sofarpia.

"Sister, I think you went a bit too far there…" said Sofelaia.

Eh?

That sounds pretty creepy now!

Why did Sofarpia have to bring up such a thought?!

Is she crazy?!

Agh!

"Sofarpia… How can you… say something like that?! Now my head is filled with that strange thought! Grr… Come at me, I am going to slap those horse cheeks!" I roared, as Sofarpia began to gallop around while evading me as she laughed teasingly.

In the end, I managed to slap her a.s.s a bit, but I did not want to actually hurt her, and she ended enjoying it… and- I did not continue after that.

"Anyways, we could also make it so those that are still single can find a partner, perhaps another event?" asked Mady.

"Mady are you willing to make it? You seem pretty interested," said Brontes.

"Oh well… I cannot help but want to… I don't know why, but something inside of me awakened just by thinking about Kireina's clones getting paired up with people I might find ideal…" said Mady eerily.

"What?! Mady this is not some kind of dating or pair-up game!" I said.

"Aw come on, let me try at least," said Mady.

Eh?

She's serious!

"A-Are you serious, Mady-chan?" asked Ismena.

Ah, my sweet Ismena, finally someone at my side!

"Yeah, want to join?" asked Mady smugly.

"Yeah! Let me join please, I also want to help them pair up well! I am sure there are a lot of non-clone candidates!" said Ismena.

"I wonder if clones get with other clones too?" asked Acelina.

"Oh, that's a good question auntie!" said Ismena, beginning to think some l.e.w.d things while rubbing her chin!

Ismena, I thought you were a sweet girl!

Now she's actually thinking such things…

Sigh…

Well, I still love her, but still!

"…It's true. Several… clones are actually… with other clones too… A-Ahhh… Hahaha… T-There are some of such couples that even had… children together…" I said.

"Oooooh~! Now that's insane!" laughed Oga.

"Indeed, our Empire is truly a place of wonders," said Altani.

"This is pretty crazy, getting with yourself? I was already surprised by the husband stuff, but now your clones are just ducking it out with each other… Damn~" said Smilkas teasingly.

"T-That's… something else… I guess… Do Kireina-sama clones diverge so much from her main mind or does she has such thoughts from the beginning?" asked Ocypete.

"I don't know. She's such a pervert that you would probably believe she wants all of that," said Nereid.

"Master… wants that?" asked Kjata.

"No! Wait, stop thinking that! You are completely wrong! Not until now has those thoughts crossed my mind! Those clones have made up such thoughts on their own accord and by their own decision!" I said.

It was the truth!

I never came out with such thoughts until I learned that they came out with them!

I never thought about actually having… s.e.x… with a clone!

I would rather just have s.e.x with another person, right?

Now, this is really getting awkward to the next level…

"Err… This whole thing is pretty insane, I don't know what to even talk about all of this," said Quinn, glaring at me.

"Haha…" I said.

"You seem to be in a pretty tough spot, you might as well just give in to their demands," said Quinn.

"Yes… Okay, girls, do as you please, but I will not help you… This is your thing and you wanted it!" I said.

"Yay!" said Rimuru.

"Nice!" said Mady.

"We gotta do it!" said Ismena.

"Hmmm~ This will be interesting to see, fufu," said Acelina.

"I believe this will bring great fruits to my investigations…" said Charlotte.

"Charlotte, what are you even investigating about?!" asked Lilith to Charlotte.

"S-Something…" said Charlotte while averting her gaze from Lilith.

"Okay can we address the elephant in the room now?" asked Ryo.

"Eh? What is it son?" asked Zehe.

"Why is Quinn talking?" asked Ryo.

"Oh…"

Everyone glanced back at Quinn, as she shivered a bit by the many stares.

"Well! That's a long story! But Kireina can help me out in explaining it," said Quinn.

"Yes… I guess it is time to explain to you what happened while I devoured the Origin Core Fragment," I said.

And so, I spent the next hour or so explaining things with Quinn.

From how Quinn was a human from my world and the battle we had against the World's Will Clone.

I even went into details about the origins of this world and other stuff, which I was planning in explaining to the Gods too.

"That's crazy!" said Oga.

"Yeah, completely insane!" said Acelina.

"My head…" cried Gaby.

"I think this was outstandingly insane…" said Alice.

"Hehe, well it was a bit fun to hear… Though, did humans really had the same technology as you, Master? They really don't seem to!" said Kaguya.

"It seems to be something lost now, I don't even know if that actual technology exists at this point, where there is magic and stuff…" I said.

"So Quinn was a thug from your world?" asked Brontes.

"And why do you call Masta a fat neet?! Quinn, treat your mother more respectfully, guu!" said Rimuru mildly angered.

"A-Ah… I better not address her like that I guess…" said Quinn, she was getting overwhelmed by stares again…

Although she used to be a thug before, now she was just a child… well, an overpowered child.

But still, a child.

So she better obeys the a.d.u.l.ts!

Ah, scarlet is draining me of all my energy by drinking so much milk…

I began to eat a ton of food as we kept talking about more stuff, there was a lot to explain…
