<<Hmm… *Yawn!*… Onii-chan?>>

Illyasviel responds to me exactly like [Raphael] would, so she sounds exactly the same. However, I can feel much more emotion from those words than I normally would. Or rather, she sounds a little tired.

Rimuru- “Illyasviel? Is everything alright?”

<<Eh? Uh, I think so. Quick scans show that everything is ok. Deep scans are showing up green as well… I… think it worked? Did it work?>>

Illyasviel replies to my question with a worried tone.

Rimuru- “I don’t know, you tell me. I mean, you sound… different? It’s not your voice as it sounds the same as [Raphael], but… you sound… more alive? I guess.”

She doesn’t say anything for a few seconds, but then I suddenly hear a sniffle.

<<… *Sniff*…>>

Rimuru- “Illyasviel…?”

<<I… I… I feel so happy… I can finally truly think for myself… I can finally feel all these different emotions…>>

Illyasviel continues to cry tears of happiness while I just listen. She wasn’t bawling her eyes out or anything. She was just silently crying to herself.

I wanted to say something, but I couldn’t think of anything to say… except one thing.

Rimuru- “… I\'m sorry.”

I\'m sorry for putting it off for so long. I\'m sorry I couldn’t come up with a solution for your Ego problem for so long. I\'m sorry that you had to stay like an emotionless machine until I gave you a name. There were many things I feel sorry for, most of them stemming from my inherent laziness.

So I just said, “I\'m sorry”.

And Illyasviel understood everything I was trying to say.

<<… No… it’s not all your fault… You were the one that gave me the solution I needed. You were the one that named me. Without you… nothing would’ve happened. And for that… Thank you, Onii-chan!>>

She tries to stop me from blaming myself. She didn’t mean to blame anyone when she said that she could finally think for herself, after all.

And at the end, she called me Onii-chan!

*Inhales*

My life is now complete.

Illyasviel took a little bit longer to calm down completely from her evolution into a Manas. Thinking it’s time, I asked her the big question.

Rimuru- “So? What happened?”

<<Uhm, from the records, apparently things went like this…>>

And so, Illyasviel began her explanation.

First off, the Ego was successfully taken from [Raphael, Lord of Wisdom] and integrated into [Illya, Heaven’s Feel]. Unfortunately, as a result, [Raphael] became ‘broken’. Or rather, it can\'t be used.

Ultimate Skills are the skills at the very top of the list. They control the laws of the world itself.

And who would have guessed, you can\'t control the laws of the world unless you have a mind that can comprehend that shit in the first place!

Wooh!

Therefore, Veldanava created Ultimate Skills with meagre computational abilities as support for the user to control the skills properly.

And since I took [Raphael]’s ego…

Rest in peace [Raphael]. You have served me well. Specifically, you saved me from looking like a fucking dumbass many times.

Well, the good news is that [Manas: Illyasviel] has completely inherited the properties of both [Raphael] and [Illya]. Meaning Illyasviel is a fusion of both ultimate skills in their entirety.

Thank god.

In fact, none of this would have been possible if [Illya, Heaven’s Feel] wasn’t an Ultimate Skill specialising in the soul since skills are also extensions of the soul in a way.

I’m also thinking that I was only able to use [Illya, Heaven’s Feel] in its entirety without any Ego supporting it because it’s a gift from the Meat Bun ROB himself. There’s also the fact that I\'m quite literally the fusion of two souls, so maybe that helped as well? And also my soul itself ascended because of the effect of [Illya, Heaven’s Feel]…

Who knows really.

(A/N: Little did he know that the only reason he could do that was because of his daily consumption of meat buns lol jk.)

<<Uhm, Onii-chan, I think I can do something with [Raphael]… But I\'m not entirely sure, so->>

Rimuru- “Sure, go ahead!”

Illyasviel asks me for permission to do something with [Raphael], but without bothering to hear her out, I accept and let her do whatever she wants. Why did I do that? Well, half the reason is that she called me Onii-chan.

I\'m joking.

It’s actually three-quarters of the reason. But ignore that.

<<Eh? B-but it might get erased, and…>>

Rimuru- “Well, You said that you’re the fusion of both skills, right? Then it shouldn’t affect me even if we lose [Raphael]. Besides, you’re like my daughter-sister hybrid. Why wouldn’t I trust you?”

<<O-Onii-chan… You can\'t say things like that so suddenly…>>

I can imagine Illyasviel fidgeting around in her seat with a blush on her face.

God damn, this is nearing Mikoto levels of cuteness. Imagine what it would be like if I could see her…

Rimuru- “Now that I think about it, I kinda wanna see you…”

<<Really, Onii-chan!?>>

Rimuru- “Umu! Of course, I do!”

Having a doting cute little sister is every weeb’s dream! I mean, unless you already have a sister in real life… Then they’re just annoying… But every man dreams of a cute bro-con sister!

And then when they get into an ‘awkward’ situation, accidents happen and they might just end up naked and huhuhuhuhu-

<<Onii-chan?>>

NOOOO! Bad Rimuru! You must never lewd the loli!

Rimuru- “Nothing!”

<<Hmm? If you say so… Then, I’ll get started, alright?>>

I just nod my head and immediately Illyasviel gets to work.

A bunch of shit happens within me that I have no clue about and before long…

*Ka-ching!*

A golden glowing crystal ball the size of my palm pops out of my body landing on a cushion next to me. Sound effects and everything.

Rimuru- “… Nani kore?”

And so Illyasviel comes to the rescue again by informing my dumbass self.

What she did was quite simple really. She contained the broken [Raphael] and turned it into a physical object. A ‘Skill Orb’ if you will.

Rimuru- “Oooh, Illyasviel is amazing!”

I praise her while holding the [Raphael] Skill Orb in my slime tentacle hand thingies.

<<Ehehe…>>

I\'m just imagining Illyasviel shyly scratching the back of her head with an embarrassed but happy expression. And if she looks anything like the person I named her after…

Damn, I REALLY wanna see her.

Right, let’s do this then.

This happened in the series so it should happen easily here. Let’s try it out.

[Enhanced Replication]

Magicules flow out of me in the form of black mist before turning into an exact clone of me.

<<What are you doing Onii-chan?>>

Rimuru- “I really want to see you, Illyasviel. So…”

I invoke [Manas: Illyasviel]. True, Illyasviel is indeed a separate entity and can work by herself, but [Illyasviel] is my skill in the end. I can use it to its full capabilities.

But I\'m not doing anything complicated. I just carefully shift her into the replication clone in front of me, being extra careful I don’t mess anything up.

After an entire 5 minutes of doing so, the process completes and my clone shines like a fucking flashbang, blinding me.

Rimuru- “GAAH!?”

It’s like looking into the fucking SUN.

The light dies down. I open my eyes again and look at the result.

And I have to say…

I am completely satisfied with my work.

A/N: Some of you already realised but Im basing Illyasviel off of Illya from Fate.

ALSO

I just wanna say that lately I\'ve been feeling rather out of juice lately. I haven\'t been able to write as smoothly as before.

I\'m NOT dropping or going on a hiatus, don\'t worry. But I do apologise if the recent chapters seem a bit lacklustre.

I mean, I want to go on a hiatus, but...

*Looks over at Shizu and MC staring at me menacingly*

I don\'t think I\'ll get the chance...

Let me know if I missed anything.
