Cid sat before the elf he had rescued at night, contemplating what he should say to her after they ate their meals.
He noticed that the girl was reluctant to say anything, and only ate the moment he asked her.
On the other hand, he piled the corpses of the bandit fodders on one spot, thinking he would look like a villain if he stood on top of the piles of corpses.
Anyways, it would begin rotting soon, so he had no other choice but to burn them all until ashes remained. He watched, and the girl also watched in awe.
"Oh, that is right.... I haven't asked your name yet. Tell me your name."
The girl was silent.
"... Can't remember. I don't even know who I am."
This led Cid to lean forwards and stare into her face, with his chin resting upon the back of his palms.
'.... I see.... So she is a Main Character like my sister. The only difference is that she is like those protagonists who lost their memories at the start of a JRPG, interesting. But, what do I even tell her to begin with!? I can't just show random spoilers....'
"... I sense something in you. Faint, but pure. Like the Goddess Celestine Lucullus, or similar." He started with a bluff so serious nobody could even discern that it was a bluff.
For a moment, he definitely saw the elven girl look shocked, clenching her palm into a fist and even putting it at her chest. She was worried.
So what's next?
"It is possible you are Celestine's daughter. And it is possible that you are Laurentia, or half of her soul." Shadow continued, only to sigh. "But...."
"But...?"
"Your destiny is to lose to a fate worse than death. After all, you were cursed by the.... Evil God of.... Uhm.... Dark Desires, who currently incarnated as Olga Discordia." He finished, not even thinking of anything good, even cringing inside as he stood up and glared at the elven girl.
Who, while he is as small as an average 10 year old, was silently surprised that the girl was older than him.
"Right now, you are weak. So weak in fact, you would eventually be consumed by your curse. You need power, you need a new name. Serve me."
'And of course, I barely have an idea what I am talking about. Besides, she's a Main Character in her own story, I'm not. And "Serve Me" sounds cliche enough, can't believe I spouted such bull out my mouth.'
To his surprise, his mild expectation was shattered by the determined eyes of the girl.
"I will!"
"Even if it will endanger your life?"
A sharp nod was given from the girl.
"Even if it will force you into situations you need yourself to get out of?"
Another nod.
"Very well. I, Cid Levantine, or Shadow, I don't mind if you call me either, shall now give you the name of Alpha." Cid declared, lending his hand towards the now named Alpha.
She took his hand, and the black substance that was the slime he had stored for himself consumed her. The slime was cold, yet it had adjusted to her body perfectly.
Her tattered, ragged robe was replaced by the slime bodysuit.
The next moment, she felt a lightness flow throughout her body, as if she had been given some power.
