Chapter 199: CH.198 Storage

After waking up as Ria was changing clothes, I said good morning to her and jumped into the factory. No need to do anything else, right?

“Father, good morning.” 

“Papa! Good morning.”

My two daughters were waiting for me at the control platform. Tahlia was in her classic pink onesie and Fantasia had copied her sister, except that hers was tiger striped.

“Good morning. Were you waiting for me?”

“Of course, Father. I’ve waited for a long time for this.” 

“Yep. I waited with my big sis, so she wouldn’t have to wait alone.”

“I see. Where is your mother?” 

“She is with aunty Mia. Do you want me to go get her?” Fantasia asked.

“Yes, if you would.”

“Sure.” She answered before running to the stairs, mounting the handrail and riding it down.

 

“... well, she is as energetic as ever.” I commented, looking at Fantasia, before I turned to Tahlia. “How are you feeling? Nervous?”

“Slightly. But every experiment we ran with Mother has been successful, so I believe everything will be fine.”

“I’m sure it will work out. Laura wouldn’t allow it if there was a chance for a major failure.”

“But even a minor one can hurt you a lot. Father, I am a part of you, so pain to me is pain to you. At the end of the day, I am just your skill.”

“Don’t say that. You aren’t just a skill.” I said as I took Tahlia into a deep hug. “You are important. You, Fantasia and Laura. You are my family.”

“But we aren’t real.” 

“Don’t say that! You can’t say something like that. You are real.”

“But…”

“No! You are. That’s it. As your father, I’m saying you are real, and you cannot deny that.”

“...”

“Are we interrupting?” Laura asked, as she walked up to us, holding hands with Fantasia. 

I was still holding Tahlia close to my chest.

“No. No you are not. Good morning, by the way.” I said, trying to get the previous thoughts out of my mind.

“Good morning. So the time has finally come.”

“The time for the Time Seal, right?”

“You just have to turn everything into a joke, don’t you?”

“Only when I’m scared.”

“We both know that is a lie.”

“... perhaps it is.” I admitted as I finally let go of Tahlia.

 

I had Tahlia sit down on one of the couches on the control platform and turned back to Laura.

“So, do I just install the card into her? Or into the server room?”

“Into her. Technically it will be installed into the skill, but as Tahlia is the avatar of the skill, she works the best as the medium for you to imagine the correct result.”

“Alright.” I turned to Tahlia. “Are you ready?”

“Yes, Father.”

“... you know you don’t have to call me so officially. Dad or papa works as well.”

“Would you prefer that, Dad?”

“...” Wow. That hit different. I didn’t expect the change of a word to change the way I hear it so much. “... I think either is fine. Even father, or just Brian is alright with me. You can choose.”

“Yes. Papa.” Tahlia answered, using another synonym.

… it might be just me, but papa really does feel the best. I don’t know why, but I just like it the most. Father is good as well, but dad … I’m not so sure about. It feels … off for me. I guess I’m more of a papa than dad. Dad just makes me think of Daddy. And having a teenager call me daddy … Well, let’s not go there.

 

I got out the card and held it to Tahlia’s chest, before saying: “Install.”
