I finished the work to be done and got up and stretched.
As you go to the window to watch the sunset from there, you see a girl in the garden.
Under a large tree, she was floating, slowly circling around with her knees in her arms.
She looked a little strange, as if she was underwater.
I made eye contact with her, and before I could think, my body moved and beckoned her to join me.
She swam (flew) through the air with mermaid-like grace, extending her limbs from a kneeling position.
I stepped back to make room for her, and the girl slipped through the window into the office and stopped at the space.
What's going on?
I'll make you a body.
"Huh?
I can't give birth to you right away, but I can build you up.
"The body,"?
The girl who tilted her head in that way, not knowing what that meant.
I took out a bag.
Another bag made of calamity claws.
Not for food storage, but for storing materials and supplies for various things.
Lately, I've been getting more and more caught up in events, so I made a bag for that.
It came in handy right away.
I put my hand in the bag and work my magic at the same time.
You look at the girl and use your magic while branding her appearance on your retinas.
Then he pulled a human shape out of the bag.
Homunculus. He made it in the bag and pulled it out and put it in front of the girl.
Is this ...... me?
"Yeah. A homunculus in your likeness. We can use this body for a while if that's okay with you. I'll take care of a lot of responsibilities. Until you're born again.
"Let's, responsibility?
The girl turned bright red.
Yeah, that's not a good choice of words.
It's not a literal mistake, but it's not very nuanced.
"Aftercare. It's made to be strong, but it can be faulty over time.
"......
I don't know.
I'll try.
Okay.
He nodded and touched the body of the homunculus and the soul of the girl with both hands.
He placed the girl's soul into the homunculus, just as he had done with the angel Markosias.
After a moment, the eyelids of the homunculus that had taken the soul in opened and it looked at its palm with a curious expression.
I don't know.
"Body ......
Yeah, the body.
"I'm treading the ground ...... for the first time in hundreds of years.
Now he looked at his feet standing on the floor.
A smile gradually emerged from the girl's face, as excitement slowly began to rise.
"Wow, I did--
The girl's smile disappeared in an instant.
Physically.
The girl jumped up and down, jumping up and down with a great momentum, and then, boom! and roared through the ceiling.
There was another room above the office, but even that was all gone, and it flew up high into the sky.
The airflow is better, and I can see the sky instead of the ceiling.
What does that mean?
As I was wondering what was happening in front of me, a girl landed with a stutter.
What's the matter with you?
I don't know, just a little jump. ....... What's wrong with my leg--oh!
This time the girl looking at her feet, maybe she wanted to do a "thump" and poke the ground with her foot, but with the first shot she stepped through the floor and fell downstairs - to the first floor.
