FLASH!

As I saw the little Ego fly into my Knife, I suddenly found myself standing back inside the dungeon floor, as if nothing had happened. I looked at the knife, which was now glowing with a mysterious golden light. I just got my fourth Ego and it wasn't even created by me, I just found her inside this dungeon!

"Kireina, what's going on?" Sol asked, approaching me slowly.

"Err, well, it is hard to explain but-"

TRUUUUMMM…!

However, before I could even explain anything to the poor Sol, a devastating tremor resonated, the entire dungeon was suddenly trembling! I suddenly noticed a mass of pure void emerging at the ceiling of the dungeon, absorbing it all and distorting space and time!

"W-W-What the heck?!" Sol cried.

"Shit! I didn't thought this would happen…! Let's get the fuck outta here!" I cried, quickly grabbing my Ego Weapons and then grabbing Sol with a phantom hand, rushing out of the dungeon by using [Roll] and [Telekinesis] to both move fast and also propel myself at an even faster speed.

FLAAASH!

TRUUM!

The dungeon suddenly disappeared right behind us, as we landed in the surface, rolling over the grass. When I looked back, the entrance to the dungeon was no more, and it was just a plain grassy surface.

…Shit, I'll have to explain this to Floresse and Elfina, they won't take kindly in this dungeon disappearing, especially because it is special for them in terms of business.

"Outside world!"

The little voice resonated within the Kitchen Cooking Knife, the golden glow of this innocent little Ego soothed my heart a bit, but I was really worried about the other thing too. The dungeon! Where did it go?!

"Little girl, where's the Dungeon?" I wondered, talking to my own knife.

"I ate it." She said nonchalantly.

"…Excuse me?" I wondered.

"I… ate it!" She said, as if feeling accomplished.

"Kireina! What is this thing?" Asked Sol. "Why is your kitchen knife talking now?"

"Oh, you can hear her? I guess she got an ability that can be heard more easily… For my other Ego Weapons, they have to receive my permission to telepathically communicate with people… Huh, she's interesting." I said.

"Wait, she's an Ego? Like your weapons?" He asked.

"Pretty much, I found her inside the Dungeon, she resulted being something like… the dungeon itself. Like a Dungeon Core, but Dungeon Cores actually don't seem to exist here. So I guess let's call her a Dungeon Ego." I said while nodding to myself, I am good at naming now, finally, after over 1500 chapters of my life.

"…That's an awful name but I guess I can't blame you about it." Sol said. "Not everyone is good at this."

"Hey! I think it's pretty good as a name! You're the awful one here, saying such a rude thing to this lady…" I sighed in disbelief of this man's pettiness.

"Nonetheless, the dungeon… So you put the Dungeon Ego in your Kitchen Knife?!" Asked Sol.

"…Yes." I sighed.

"And the Dungeon had to disappear too?!" Asked Sol.

"She said she ate it." I said.

"I ate it." The little knife spoke to Sol.

"You did?! Why?! We won't be able to get more EXP without monsters now!" Said Sol.

"…I was hungry." She answered adorable. Her voice was too honest, so Sol cut it out quickly.

"Sigh… Well, whatever. The army of humans is coming tomorrow so its not as if we'll make that much of a difference by killing monsters. And the dungeon was already mostly empty." The Hero of the Sun said. "Well, I am going back to the house to rest… I want to apologize to Elfina too."

"Oh? You will join the war then?" I asked.

"…I don't know yet. I have to think this and also rest a bit, I feel slightly tired…" Sol admitted. He had managed to reach Level 22 in the dungeon after killing all those monsters. That was already pretty good, but I guess not enough for him to develop completely. If he could slay some humans, he'll earn tons of EXP… But he doesn't want to do that I guess.

"O-Okay, see ya." I said, I rolled to the backyard of the house, where there was nobody. For the moment I want to pretend nothing has happened in the dungeon. I think Sol might not talk about it for now, so I hope he doesn't.

For now, what I want to do is check the new Ego that is accompanying me. However, Aquamarine and company seemed to already begin socializing with her.

"Hi! What's your name?" Asked Aquamarine.

"Name? I don't have name…" Said the little girl.

"You sound so young and small…" Sighed White. "Poor thing, we'll raise you well."

"You're too soft with her! Don't you know she ate a whole dungeon?" Asked Black.

"Dungeon… was mine!" The girl said. She seemed have owned the dungeon. Quite possibly because it was her own body.

"Huh, you're a cocky little brat." Said Black.

"Don't be so rude with a child, you brute." Said White. "Dear, don't listen to the ugly black spear, he only speaks nonsense because he's insane!"

"Hehehe… Insane!" The little girl giggled.

I guess I've gotten myself a new little daughter.

For the moment, as the Egos spoke, I checked her Status.

What? Damn… She's really an actual dungeon inside my cooking knife! No way… I really did such a thing. Now I am slightly feeling embarrassed I put her there… Well, maybe she'll enjoy cooking, I hope? Also what's with all these skills? They sound cool though, reminds me of my own abilities in my previous life…

Maybe the Dungeon is still inside of the knife? And there's a Skill to summon dungeon monsters! Maybe this got more potential than I had originally thought… Also, what's with her abnormally high MP and Intelligence?!
