So you already know that I am the former Megusan's remnant mind! Nirah, there is no point in protecting me, I and Kireina fought to death once! She d.e.s.i.r.es to take me down, it is completely understandable… And I am no longer as strong as I used to be… Let me go,\" said Megusan's voice within Nirah's tail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But Tail-chan, I know all of that! I already have all my previous life memories…\" said Nirah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even then, they do not feel like yours, right? Although you feel like you did them, it feels fantastical and surreal. This is because you are you, Nirah! I have given up on taking over your body… You have become a superior version of me in every way… I am destined to be killed, this is my fate! I fought and I died! I will no longer evade my demise…\" said Megusan, glancing at me with conviction on his snake eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do it… but make sure to not… hurt Nirah…\" said Megusan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems that he grew attached to her at the end, what a surprising turn of events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the former Megusan did develop feelings at the end, huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I guess every Demon God can be smothered when they are left completely powerless, I guess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…Well, isn't that any person?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nooo! Please, mama… Don't… Tail-chan… It is my former self but… he's… he has protected me and watched over me… He's a nice person now!\" said Nirah, putting herself in front of her snake-headed tail, and hugging it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nirah…\" muttered Megusan rather emotionally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sigh…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What am I going to with them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply cannot force me to do something that will make Nirah this upset…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ugh, fine… I cannot fathom hurting my little daughter… However, Megusan, you better behave. If I discover you have been manipulating Nirah for some kind of evil plan, you are not getting another chance. And let me tell you that I will know, oh yes, I will know for sure if that even fathoms to cross your tiny mind… You hear me?\" I said, intimidating the living shit out of Megusan until he became completely passive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-Yes… I… I… understand…\" he sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"T-Then… is it okay to keep Tail-chan, mama?\" asked Nirah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh… Yes, it is, make sure to not let yourself be influenced if he says anything weird, alright? And if he does, tell me immediately!\" I said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay!\" said Nirah with a smile, as I grabbed her with my arms and carried her as my baby, although she had now grown up quite a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mommy, was Megusan your former enemy?\" asked Belle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah… Kind of… He was the first God I ate!\" I said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"T-That's a bit creepy… wait, and Nirah is… like his reincarnation or something?\" asked Belle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well… she is a part of his remnant Divine Soul Fragment, which was implanted on an egg that his mortal vessel laid, she was reborn as a baby, as Nirah, without her memories. So she just developed as a new person,\" I said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am me!\" said Nirah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Was I the first God you ate? Really? That makes it seem as if our bond were to be more special than I imagined,\" said Megusan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't think that can be considered a bond…\" I said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"R-Right… Never mind…\" said Megusan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mommy, can I drink milk?\" asked Scarlet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Milk…? But aren't you quite big? Ah, why am I even asking? Of course, you can my dear,\" I said, as I offered one of my b.r.e.a.s.ts to Scarlet, and sat down on the bed, she immediately began to drink rather fast, she seemed hungry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Masta, good morning!\" said Rimuru and the rest of my wives and children greeted me, aside from Nirah, Belle, and Scarlet, the rest of them were all on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good morning… I think I felt like you woke in the middle of the morning… did you teleport somewhere?
