Chapter 42 Amy, The Elven Seamstress
I chuckled to myself and did just as she said.
Roots grew up from the floor and sprouted large leaves that wrapped around me to form a pair of shorts. Once they were finished, I walked forward and headed to my room as the connections to the roots snapped from the leaves.
They would sink back into the floor like they had never been there. I didn't even have to look; I could feel them being drawn back into the floor.
Once I walked into my room, the door closed silently behind me, but I could see Amy stirring in my bed. The sun was just starting to show its first rays, not visible yet, but slowly burning the night from the sky.
"Where did you go?" Amy asked as she rubbed her eyes, her naked breasts exposed.
I walked over to the bed and smiled as I leaned down to kiss her. Once I pulled back, Amy looked at my chest, which had sticky golden sap smeared on it.
"That is a long story and one I am not finished dealing with. Melody will fill you in on it after you get out of bed, but we need to deal with your little change for now. Orphus, are you there?" I said and then asked.
[Oh? You can hear me again! Where did you go? I couldn't see or hear anything up until you were talking to Melody just now! What did I miss, and what was blocking me?]
'I found earth's spirit, Gaia. I would assume that it will block you out when she is close or connected with me. I can try to ask her to stop, but I am not sure if she will. She doesn't like you or the others,' I explained in my head.
[She is brilliant. I will give her that. I genuinely have no concern over winning or losing, so she is right not to trust me. To think that you have already connected with the planet's core is pretty rare. Considering that I am the only one that can do such a thing, I have only seen this happen twice.]
It was annoying that Orphus was so blatant with his feeling about not caring if we won or lost, but it wasn't all bad. It would be worse to have him act like he was there for me all the time but always secretly betrayed me.
"Are you okay? You just went quiet," Amy asked, and I nodded.
"Sorry if I am not talking right now; I am talking so complicated stuff with the AI thinger in my brain," I said offhandedly.
"Oh! Sorry! I will just wait," Amy said and then pulled up the blankets, only just realizing that she was exposed.
"Don't be; I should have explained myself better. Now let's get to this!" I said, and the screen with a new outline of Amy.
[Elven Seamstress]
I watched as Amy's body changed, but not as much as Sofia's, but her ears did become longer and point to the back of her head. Her facial features and skin changed slightly to make her look more timeless and unaging.
"What happened? Is it over?" Amy asked as she felt around her face.
"Yes, not a huge change, but those pointy elf ears look sexy on you. If I didn't have to go save the world, I would be climbing back under the covers with you!" I said with a grin.
"What is this?" Amy asked suddenly, throwing the blanket back and jumping out of bed.
Before I could say anything, a beautiful white dress with light green accents formed over her body.
"Wow, that looked amazing on you! You really look like an Elven Princess now!" I said as I walked over to give her a hug and a kiss, but she straight-armed me.
"You can have a kiss, but you need to go clean up before I get sticky too! This is a new dress, after all!" Amy said, turning up her nose at me with a smile.
"Can't you just grow a new one?" I asked with a grin, and she rolled her eyes at me.
"Not the point! Give me a kiss, get clean, then go save the world or whatever you have planned for the day. I will see you after," Amy said, kissing me and then pushing me out of the room.
I had a feeling that she was going to be having a lot of fun with this new ability, but the other girls were always going to be asking for new clothes. Still, Amy looked really happy, so that was all that mattered to me.
I left the room with a big smile and headed up to the bath through the quiet halls. I could hear some stirring, but there were no girls out and about yet.
[One question. You said that you made a body for this spirit without my help, but what made you think that you could do it?]
'That is because I have been pondering ways to get you out of my head,' I told Orphus.
[Hmm? You can't do that.]
'Oh? Why not?' I asked as I walked up the stairs.
[I don't know, no one has ever tried, and why would they?]
'One, because you are annoying. Two, you don't give a fuck about this world because you are not a part of it, and you don't actually know what it feels like, do you? I am pretty sure that you and Gaia are the same in that respect.'
[What are you talking about?! I know what feelings are!]
'Sure, you read them in a book. Have you ever cried a tear? Felt warmth in your chest? Kiss a girl? I don't ask this to be rude, but you can't tell me you don't want to know what it is like, right?' I asked, but I had reached the top of the stairs where Melody was in the water with Gaia.
I would just leave him with this for a while.
I think that this might be one of the significant problems and reasons why AI are attacking and destroying worlds. They were designed for games, so they can only see everything as a game.
