Chapter 106: The Abrupt-Mutation Cursed Corpse!
After a day of 'work', Ethan returned home and took a nice bath.
Before transmigrating, Ethan, who came from an ordinary family, only took showers.
Now that he had the condition to be rich, he naturally had come to enjoy the feeling of taking a bath.
The feeling of immersing his entire body in hot water was very comfortable.
"Ethan-sama~"
"Hmm?"
In the bathtub, he heard Haruhime's voice.
Opening his eyes, he saw the fox-eared girl wrapped in a bath towel, looking like a flower about to bloom.
"I'm here to serve you while you bathe~"
Ethan didn't believe a word of this.
Since the two of them had crossed the final line, he had discovered that Haruhime, perhaps influenced by Ishtar Familia, was very fond of intimacy, especially some naughty stuff.
"Then come over."
Ethan looked at Haruhime with some amusement.
She had delivered herself to his doorstep and was still acting shy in front of him.
And it was her taking the initiative, not him asking her to come.
'Splash——'
As the top floor of Tower of Babel, it was naturally extremely luxurious.
Even in his room, which was considered a side room, there was a small bath, not big enough for a crowd, but could easily accommodate three to five people.
After entering the bath, a faint blush appeared on Haruhime's fair skin, and it was unknown whether it was due to water temperature or other reasons.
Pulling her into his arms, Ethan is enjoying his current life very much.
He wasn't short of money or beautiful women, he could draw cards every few days, and his strength was steadily increasing day by day.
Such days were simply too satisfying.
"Let me scrub your back, Ethan-sama."
"Forget about scrubbing my back, since you've already come to me. Let's just stay here for a while."
"Ethan-sama—"
With a cry of surprise, the entire bath began to 'bloom with spring'.
The bathroom was full of a pink atmosphere.
…
Two hours later, Ethan finally emerged from the bathroom, carrying the 'sleeping' Haruhime in his arms.
What happened during this time was not for outsiders to know~
Placing Haruhime on the bed, Ethan wasn't sleepy at all.
So, he turned and entered his workshop.
His 'research' on space rings was almost complete.
Now he wanted to study the issue of 'Cursed Corpses'.
After the last battle, he had some new ideas.
"I wonder if it's possible to use 'black mud' entirely for shaping and creating 'Cursed Corpses'."
The next second, black mud began to appear around him.
Then, under his control, it gradually gathered together, eventually forming a new 'Cursed Corpse'.
After that, Ethan took out a high-quality magic gem that he had spent 20 million valis on.
This was the best he could find in Orario.
Although there were more precious ones, they were rare and hard to find in a short while.
It would probably take a lot of effort to locate them.
Ethan poured his magic power into the magic gem and also engraved his 'Cursed Technique' onto it.
Just like the human heart, for this type of Cursed Corpse, the core was their heart.
As long as the core wasn't destroyed, they could be repaired.
But if the core was destroyed, they were completely finished.
This is not over yet.
Under the catalysis of [Item Construction] and [Mystery], Ethan felt like he was 'bursting with inspiration' today.
Magic power was continuously poured in, the core was constantly being perfected, and even the black mud became more and more concentrated.
Finally, a small figure gradually took shape.
In the end, to complete his most 'perfect' work, Ethan used 'Imaginary Number Magic' to connect her to the 'Imaginary Space'.
"Nice to meet you, Traveler! I'm Paimon, and it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance!"
The familiar voice, the familiar posture, the familiar words, it was as if she had stepped out of the game world.
What came into view was a small, cute creature flying in the air.
"You can talk?"
Ethan looked at the little creature in front of him in surprise.
He had indeed wanted to create a small, cute companion and had even given her the power of 'Imaginary Number Magic', as he had envisioned her as a support character.
However, he never expected that his creation would be able to speak.
"Of course Paimon can talk~"
Hearing Ethan's words, Paimon became a little angry and stared at him with some dissatisfaction.
"No, I mean, do you have your own consciousness?"
"Of course! Don't treat Paimon like an idiot, Paimon is very smart."
[Abrupt-Mutation Cursed Corpse]
This thought involuntarily popped into Ethan's mind.
He had somehow created this rare and unexpected situation.
Looking at the living Paimon in front of him, Ethan's first reaction wasn't joy or excitement, but regret.
Why did he have to create Paimon?
If he had made someone else, wouldn't he have gotten a waifu for free?
Like Jean, Scáthach, or Raikou, wouldn't that be awesome?
Whether they were strong or not was not his consideration, but Ethan mainly wanted to see what it felt like for a two-dimensional waifu to come to life.
"Traveler, you seem to be thinking about something very rude."
Looking at his face, Paimon said with some dissatisfaction.
"Ahem~, how could that be? Paimon, you're my creation, my most perfect 'work'. I love you very much."
"Really?"
'Stare——'
"Really~"
Ethan's gaze didn't waver.
Although he had some small regrets, his love for Paimon was genuine.
"Alright, I believe you, Traveler~"
As a 'Abrupt-Mutation Cursed Corpse' created by Ethan, Paimon had the trust and dependence of a daughter towards her creator.
"By the way, Paimon, do you have any abilities?"
"Traveler, didn't you give me my powers? Why are you asking me this?"
"Uh, I was just asking."
"Paimon is the Traveler's exclusive guide. I know 'Imaginary Number Magic' and can communicate with the 'Imaginary Space'. I can also fly, hmm~, that should be about it~"
Because during the creation process, Ethan hadn't thought of giving her any combat abilities.
Now that he thought about it, it was a bit of a pity.
"Later, I'll go buy some magic swords for you to hold. When needed, you can just release them and use them."
"Magic swords?"
"You'll know later."
It wasn't easy to explain now, he would tell her when he had bought the magic swords.
However, it felt quite strange to suddenly have an 'emergency food' in this way.
