“At present, Lydia does not seem to respond to any sort of external stimulation.”

Said Yuuyami to Rapha and Hinagiku, both of whom were projected upon the computer screen.
Taking the current circumstances perilous, Yuuyami contacted the two of them by video transmission.

“To what sort of stimulation?”

Hinagiku squinted.
Hinagiku—the mother of Lydia and Rapha—has a long black hair and well-ordered features. She, superficially, appears to be in the middle of her twenties, however Yuuyami learned that, in fact, she is much older.
Hinagiku found a way to cease ageing as a by-product of Angel Project, and utilised the technology to herself.

“Let’s see. But firstly, Hinagiku-san, why are you naked and in ropes?”

In the midst screen was displayed stark naked Hinagiku under a state of being tied up.

“Don’t worry. Hands are free.”

Hinagiku exhibited her hands to Yuuyami.

“Wah, I don’t think this is what Yuuyami meant,” says Rapha, visibly agitated. “What on earth was mama-Hina doing?”
“I was hung up?”

Stated Hinagiku with a grave countenance.

“Ha?” threw Rapha.
“I must sustain punishment. Therefore, I requested Apricot every day to severely chastise me…”
“That’s enough!” says Rapha with her face flushed up. “Don’t show up in front of your daughter in such a state in the first place! I don’t want to know mama-Hina’s play content!”
“I’m having a keen interest,” says Yuuyami; “however for being occupied by a more important matter now, let us proceed the topic, all right?”
“Yes, okay. So? How did you stimulate Lydia?”
“Let’s see. Licking, a great variety of naughty… No, that is not…”
“Wah, I don’t want to know your and onee-sama’s play content too, Yuuyami!!”

Said Rapha with her regularly coloured cheeks.

“Pardon me. I had tried so many stimulations as I could only think of, but she showed​ no reaction whatsoever.”
“Hmm. What vitals?”
“Stable. No illness or injury. Lydia is in good health. She is merely unconscious.”
“Brain waves?”
“State almost as when person is dreaming.”
“I see,” Hinagiku nods. “I have no idea.”
“For now, I want you to tell us the circumstances before and after it happened.”
“All right. That was about two hours ago. While at the roots of Yggdrasil,¹ Lydia and I were cuddling—— Excuse me. Were discussing an upcoming tasks.”

◇

Summer. The sweltering heat, the piercingly blue sky.
The first summer after Shii, daughter of Lydia and Yuuyami, gained consciousness.
The large tree had taken root at a point of about seventy kilometres due at north-west of the Lydia and Yuuyami’s library.
No, large tree is an unassuming vocabulary.
Its trunk diameter is beyond twenty meters. Its height being impossible to measure by an eye even for Yuuyami.
Of a height that reaches a heavens, is an appropriate expression.

“Fufufu.”

Wearing a look of triumph, Lydia put her hands upon her hips, and puffed out her small chest.
Today’s Lydia in a denim shorts and white shirt. Which covered a thin camouflage hooded sweatshirt.
So boyish and charming, I wish I could but push you down right now–, thought Yuuyami.

“It’s grown! Our Yggdrasil​! Ultra-grown!”

Said Lydia, extremely happily.
About three years ago, Lydia and Yuuyami planned to create something that will symbolise this a new world.
At that time, “Say, let’s make it an evolving plant which I told you earlier,” suggested Lydia, and Yuuyami instantly agreed.

“Yes; it have indeed grown well.”

There is no record of such a gigantic tree had ever once inhabit under this world.
At the beginning, when we planted it, we named it The World Tree—Yggdrasil, but now that it has grown up to this point, it is no longer losing to its name.
Yggdrasil held out its limbs as a gigantic parasol​ which were covered in green leaves. Thence, it’s resulted a shady and reasonably refreshing​ underneath.

“Yosh–, should we do some tree climbing?”
“Yes; such is okay, however let us have lunch firstly.”

With that said, Yuuyami takes out Lydia’s bento and a water from the backpack.

“Uh-huh. Now that you mentioned it, I am hungry.”

Ehehe, giggled Lydia.
This is too adorable, now I just brim with desire to push her down, strip her off a clothes, and lick her up, thought Yuuyami.
However, it is yet bearable. Lydia might get angry if I were to all of sudden, presumptuously push her down.
Ah–, I cannot wait to burst out this Lydi-ai² which overflows the depths of myself.
Whereas such a train of thought ran inside, Yuuyami handed Lydia a small, cute bento.
Upon receiving, Lydia bring her hips down at the roots of Yggdrasil.
Yuuyami seated herself next to Lydia.
Whereupon, was customarily observing Lydia’s diet.
Yuuyami is Autodoll, thus she need not a meal.
Albeit being the same Autodoll, her daughter, Shii, provided with a feature to eat, and from the beginning, too. She can eat with following decomposing a meal in her body, and convert it into energy. Well, principle is identical to Recycling Box.

“It could be fun to have Noah and Shi-chan too, right?”
“I agree.”

Only two of us, however, is also not undesirable, reckoned Yuuyami.
Apropos, Noah and Shii had departed to world’s investigation. According to schedule, they should not return for two more days.
Lydia and Yuuyami arrived here by another motorcycle, not Noah. The motorcycle which had no quantum brain—a regular motorcycle; which had installed an Angie anti-gravity device for floating in the air, and utilised a Thruster propulsion for advancing forth—a regular motorcycle.
The comfort and speed for many surpassed Noah, but Lydia liked Noah better. Shii and Noah, however, are very intimate friends. As a result, generally, Shii and Noah travelling in pair.

“Water, please.”
“Yes, I have been waiting.”

Yuuyami filled her mouth a water, whereafter pressed her lips against Lydia’s, providing her a mouthful of water.

“Nm—, Yuuyami–, I just wanted water normally–”
“I fancy to drink like this every time!”
“Ugh…”

Lydia smiled, in a slightly troubled air. She didn’t look angry, however, so Yuuyami did the same thing again.
Then, slowly reached for Lydia’s chest.
I caress it gently at first, over her clothes. The bulge is small, a bud as though, but is also nice.

“Hey, wait! It’s no good! We have done this in the morning once, haven’t we!?”

Lydia pushes Yuuyami away.
Sure enough, sexual activity have befall us once since she woke up in the morning. I could not endure it, for Lydia was so adorable upon awakening.

“I eager to do it time and time again!”
“Ugh, why did you end up such an ecchi-Yuuyami?”
“I cannot suppress the overflowing Lydi-ai! Withal, if I forcibly suppress it, it is feasible a shut down ​to occur once again! Hence, it cannot be helped!”

◇

“Can you omit this scene?”
“But I need to learn in details…”
“Ignore mama-Hina, tell us only important parts.”

◇

Upon what appeared to be eternity, Lydia accepted Yuuyami, and the pair were enjoying kissing.
At that time,

“Wait, Yuuyami.”
“Stopping!? Stopping right now!? Are you a little devil!?”
“No. I heard something.”

With a serious bearing, Lydia cast a look over surroundings.
However, mere noise of a leaves being rubbed by the wind, and of a wind alone enter the auditory sensor of Yuuyami.

“A voice…” says Lydia. “What is it? Not ears, but in consciousness…”

At the halfway of the phrase, Lydia, woosh, suddenly lost consciousness and collapsed.
However, Yuuyami caught Lydia afore she could kiss the ground.

“Lydia? What’s wrong? Lydia?”

She addressed, for no reply to secure.
Yuuyami scanned Lydia by all the sensors she provided with.
However for no abnormality in her body to be found. Lydia is but sleeping, viewing a dream.
Yuuyami shook her body, kissed her to wake her up, but Lydia return no reaction. If she just ordinary sleep, some reaction bound to be seen.

“It is bad. This condition is not in my database.”

Yuuyami hastily carried Lydia to the motorcycle, and raced the bike homewards to the library, holding Lydia tightly with her hand so she would not fall.

◇

“Here I performed another detailed examination of Lydia, and here we are now.”

I did a plenty of tests, and ultimately knew nothing but that she at a state that is consimilar a dreaming.

“I, see. It’s possible that onee-sama may have been assaulted by someone.”
“You think so? It could also be accident. Have you detected any subspace distortions or its likeness?”
“I did not reveal indications for such.”

It was peaceful; really peaceful hour.
There was no incongruity nor its omens.

“If we could find out that voice was really the voice, not a noise, we will make some progress.”
“But I guess only Lydia aware of that.”
“Indeed. Incidentally, Hinagiku-san, why don’t you wear clothes?”
“Clothes? Well, okay I guess. Apricot!”

In a screen Hinagiku turned to her right, and held out her right hand.

“Alrighty— Usual lab coat, Hina-tan! But I won’t let your rope loosen yet! Punishment isn’t over yet!”

Prico hooks a white coat upon the right hand of Hinagiku.
Hinagiku put the lab coat over her naked body.

“…Wah, what a torture witnessing a sight of mother’s hentai plays…”

Said Rapha, appearing dispirited.

“Even though I wanted to be seen by everyone, well, it’s okay. So, Yuuyami, how are you willing to proceed?”
“For Lydia’s state being close to dreaming, I consider to utilise the Dream Server to intervene in her dream.”
“I see. Wah, but it’s kind of risky.”
“Yes. I cannot perceive a source of Lydia’s dream, thus I am prepared to take some risk upon. However, to be on a safe side, I wished for Hinagiku-san and Rapha-san’s protection of mine and Lydia’s bodies.”
“Understood. I’ll constantly monitor, and force Yuuyami back if something goes wrong.”
“I will deal with any physical abnormalities in Yuuyami or Lydia.”

Rapha’s abilities are equal to Lydia’s. There is no as reassuring ally as her.
Hinagiku is both hentai and lunatic, however she has been named a talented woman, and praised for her accomplishments. Furthermore, it was also Hinagiku who produced Lydia and Rapha.

“Well, then, let us gather in the Underground, Rapha and Ohan’s love nest.”
“Love nest!?”

Earnestly stated Yuuyami. Opening her eyes, Rapha dyed her cheeks.

◇

The room in Underground where the Dream Server is installed.
Last time Yuuyami visited this chamber was when she together with Lydia met the iris flower—the Anunnaki.

“I want to get started without a delay…“—Rapha distorts her expression—”mama-Hina, don’t flirt at someone else’s house!”
“Mm? We aren’t particularly flirting?”

Hinagiku and Prico had their hands entwined, whereas kissing.
Prico’s fluffy blue hair was tied in a ponytail. Her garments was a cute, costume-like maid outfit.
The maid uniform of Yuuyami has a long skirt, and has no such a thing as sexiness. However, Prico’s maid outfit has a brief skirt, enough for her underwear to be visible, decorated with great deal of frills, and her breasts were extensively open.

“Wah, no matter how you look at it, you are flirting! You also think so, right, Yuuyami!?”
“Yes. Well, it’s good that she dressed properly, Rapha-san.”

Yuuyami shrugged.
Hinagiku wore white coat ordinarily. She was not stark naked nor roped underneath. She dressed as a normal researcher.

“The reason I’m wearing clothes is that chastisement decided to postpone until tomorrow. Say, Apricot.”
“Yes, yes. So now we are ordinary lovers.”

Hinagiku peered at Prico with great happiness. Prico likewise, she looked very happy with her.

“…It’s giving me a headache…”

Rapha pressed her head, shaking it.

“I am curious of what kind of relationship Hinagiku-san and Prico usually have. For now, however, I am heading to dream, all right?”

Yuuyami lay down upon a cot to proceed the conversation.
Lydia already lay in the cot next to Yuuyami. Several electrodes were attached to Lydia’s body, and they were yet tracing her brain waves.

“Yuuyami, as I explained it earlier,” Rapha says; “I can’t accurately reproduce onee-sama’s dream in a 3D monitor.”

The display in front of Rapha shows a screen full of noise. Normally, she could monitor the affairs of the dream.

“As a conceivable availability,” says Hinagiku; “Lydia is not seeing her dream, but a distinct someone hosting it, and Lydia participating there as a guest.”
“Wah, whatever it is, I can’t detect abnormality by the video. If mama-Hina would detect a physical deviation in onee-sama or Yuuyami, according to the plan, you will forcibly be returned, is it correct?”
“Yes. Thank you.”

Yuuyami closed her eyes.

◇

The next moment Yuuyami opened her eyes, she found herself upon a lea covered in flowers.
The sky was tall, the air was clear, and a gentle breeze was shaking the iris flowers.

“This is…”

The place where Lydia helped Yuuyami upon occasion of her shutdown before.
Nostalgia and delight from that time filled herself simultaneously.

“Ah, Yuuyami.”

Seated amongst iris flowers of the lea, Lydia set afloat a smile upon spotting Yuuyami.
The flowers that bloom all over the place, and Lydia amidst of them. The picture was so radiant that Yuuyami grew dizzy.

“Oh. Is this your other half?”

Said the girl, sitting across from Lydia.
She has long, dishevelled apple-green hair and brown skin. She appears of about seven years of age, undressed.

“Lydia… and, who are you?”

Walking up without a haste, Yuuyami brought her hips down next to Lydia. For the time being, Whew, I’m relieved for here is seem to be no peril.

“This girl, is our child.”
“Our child? When did we produce a new child?”

Reviewing the action log, I couldn’t find a record of creating a child other than Shii.

“Three years ago. Or I should say, it would be faster if you introduce yourself, Yugg-chan.”
“Um-huh. I’m Yggdrasil. Well, this form is for communication, my real body is that huge, strong, and wise tree that you know.”

Said the girl— Yggdrasil with her chest puffed.

“What? You are… Yggdrasil?”

Yuuyami tilted her head. Plants expected to have but a primitive consciousness.

“Yes,” says Lydia; “she holds a great consciousness.”
“Quite so. Therefore, the huge, strong, and wise myself should be a sovereign of this planet.”³
“I am not quite understand what you are talking of.”

I perceive that she gain consciousness. For even an unconditionally unconscious Autodoll might hold it, it is not strange that plant likewise may attain an equal consciousness as intelligent life-form.
In the first place, Lydia and Yuuyami had designed it so that may happen one day.
As for what I don’t understand is the word sovereign.

“Yugg-chan wanted to become sovereign, so she… Er, she thought I was sovereign, so she made a contact to replace me.”
“Um-huh. I’m a suitable sovere… ign, I thought so, until a while ago…”

Yggdrasil cast her eyes downward, rapidly dispirited.

“You thought so, what happened?”
“I’ve proven to be stronger–”

Said Lydia with a friendly grin.

“Ah… So that was Yugg-chan, the person at fault of interfering.”

Said Yuuyami, in a tones that included compassion.
Lydia is the world’s strongest of martial art, seventh dan of Kuga Ha Shinryu technique. Yggdrasil cannot win against her. Incidentally, Yuuyami is also seventh dan holder.
And this seventh dan of Kuga Ha Shinryu is equal the ability of Kizumari, the two masters, upon the time when they taught martial arts the demons of parallel reality.

“Ugh…” Yggdrasil grew teary. “Although it was my own dream, I was utterly powerless…”
“And now, I was just about to prove my intelligence.”
“Indeed. It will undoubtedly be easy likewise.”
“Th, that’s will not! I’m wiser that her!”
“Then, Yugg-chan, what is the most beautiful thing in the world–?”

Lydia was smiling very happily.
In fact, it appears to be fun, thought Yuuyami. From the point of Lydia, it should be as though playing with a little saucy daughter.

“Th, this is so abstract…”
“Whoever you enquire, the answer will be constant. If you don’t know, Yugg-chan, for you is still unknown the truth of the universe.”

Ah, alas! I cannot grasp.
Deep within, Yuuyami was a little upset, however she did not reveal it upon her features. She pretend to be familiar with the answer, for having a parent’s dignity.
Yggdrasil was humming, bending her neck, and scratching her head for a while, however ultimately resigning she muttered, “Give up…”

“The answer was, Yuuyami–!”

Declared Lydia in a loud voice.

“Indeed! It was me!”

She is not mistaken, thought Yuuyami.
Yuuyami conscious that she was beautifully designed. And withal, Lydia frequently extol Yuuyami for being beautiful.

“…Ahhh, the answer was right in front of my eyes——!”

Yggdrasil exclaimed, regretfully.

“Yes. Excepting for extensiveness, Yugg-chan loses. Shouldn’t you give up on becoming sovereign?”
“Ugggh… but I wished to lead these infants…”

Said Yggdrasil with lips pursed.

“With that said,” says Yuuyami; “Yugg-chan, there is a sole quality that you are lacking.”
“Um? What is that?”
“Yes; the cuteness,” said Yuuyami with composed expression. “Pray peer this charmingness of Lydia. An angel as though, no, the deity I presume?”
“No, Yuuyami–, it’s embarrassing–”

Lydia’s cheeks dyed, she then placed her hands upon these cheeks, and wriggled her body.

“…Wh, what should I do to become cute?”
“Let’s see; first of all you shall call yourself ‘Yugg-chan.’”
“Understood. I’ll refer myself as Yugg-chan.”
“And next-,” says Lydia: “you don’t look, well, bad, so let’s correct your ruffled hair, and put on you a nice clothes.”

Yggdrasil, thus, served a fashion doll for Lydia and Yuuyami for quite a while.

◇

“Yes, done! Ultra-cute, right!”

Said Lydia, satisfied with her newly designed Yggdrasil.
Yggdrasil had her apple-green hair tint unchanged, but her hairstyle was revised to somewhat heavier natural bob. Forelock was swept slightly backwards, which—despite her being a little girl—gave her a mature accent.
Her garments were a white sleeveless tunic, with ample of lace. Underneath is light blue culottes.⁴ Upon her feet sandals with a ribbons.

“Yes. Awfully cute. As expected form our daughter!”

Yuuyami delightedly clapped her hands.

“So, now, Yugg-chan can also become sovereign and lead everyone?”
“Yes. You have a good foundation, thus if you study how to be a Creator, I believe you can become our next Creator.”
“I think so either. But that’s a subject​ for about thousand a years from now.”

Albeit having longevity, Lydia and Yuuyami cannot reside for ever. Eventually the end will visit their flesh.
Yggdrasil, on the other hand, can live much, much longer. For such is were her design.

“Oh—! I’m so happy-! Yugg-chan will lead everyone, and build a wonderful world-!”

Thousand, two thousand years appeared relatively long, but I guess it’s but a moment, wondered Lydia.
Well, at present point, Lydia’s life-span is shorter, however inasmuch as Rapha and Yuuyami proceed a research of prolonging her life-span, she consider she will ultimately be able to last approximately thousand a years.

“But, Yugg-chan. Do you mind? Upon that time, you should grow a worthy person… plant of entrusting the world to.”

The current Yggdrasil is like an innocent child.
Baton named the World is yet too heavy for Yggdrasil.

“We couldn’t make it if we weren’t a pair.”
“Indeed. Only one is inadequate.”
“Besides, the one who was actually chosen was my little sister, Mika.”

Albeit her predecessor, the Anunnaki, chose Mika, Mika had no interest in the world, and recommended Lydia.
Whereupon the world has transformed anew. Majority of the life has chosen to gather into consciousness as a new shape of evolution, and is now creating a galaxy somewhere.
Thence, this world has not been destroyed.
It was but a consensual reborn.
Accordingly, my little sister, Mika, wasn’t villain who destroyed the world, she just took a life and the planet to its next step, under humanity consensus.
There was no malice, no pain nor distress, everything was reborn in an instant.

“Yugg-chan aware of situation of hereabouts​ by touching remembrance​ of the stars.”
“Stars’, remembrance?”
“Um-huh. Yugg-chan has access to remembrance​ of impactful, symbolic happenings that reserves on this planet!”
“Amazing!” claps her hands Lydia. “You have such a special ability!”
“Thus, you know what World War IV was?”

Unlike Lydia, Yuuyami only believes upon obtaining a confirmation.
If impactful, symbolic events are remembered, World War IV is definitely there.

“Also known as the World Unification War. The last war in human history to build an ideal world waged by Lucereine… or either Lucca・Bernhardt.”
“Yes; correct answer.”

Yuuyami nods.

“I can’t admit Lucca・Bernard’s way, but the world she headed for will be implemented by me and Yuuyami.”
“Yes. A serene world where everyone may live happily. And someday, pray enter upon, Yugg-chan.”

◇

“And that’s how it was.”

When Lydia awoke, she exposed a course of events to Rapha and Hinagiku.

“Wah, I see. I would never expect that that huge tree was conscious.”
“Second descendant! I want to see her too, Lydia!”

Whereas Rapha said calmly, Hinagiku was agitated.

“I guess you will have an opportunity​ to see her someday. For Yugg-chan appears be able to invite everyone into her dreams… into her very consciousness.”
“Uh-huh. Anyway, I’m sorry to worrying you.”

Lydia smiled apologetically, but happily.

“Wah, it’s only natural to help you, onee-sama!”
“I also think it’s natural to help my daughter. My reward please.”

Whereas Rapha said bashfully, Hinagiku was greedy.

“Thank you Rapha,” Lydia patted Rapha’s head.
“Onee-sama…”

Rapha closed her eyes in beatitude. Rapha was prim, she also has a lover named Ohan, but she was a severe siscon.

“Prico, as my substitute, give Hinagiku necessary amount of reward.”
“Okay— Leave it to Apricot, Lydia.”

Apricot passed her arms round Hinagiku and sent her a kiss.

“Prico and Hinagiku-san are all flirting in public… They should have such modest fellowship as me and Lydia, isn’t it right–…”
“Yuuyami the one to say that..?”

Rapha launched a wry smile in astonished tones.

“Ha? I wanted to kiss Yuuyami either, but now I don’t think I should since we’re in public.”
“I shall withdraw my previous statement. Let us toss the moderation into Recycling Box!”

Powerfully said Yuuyami.

◇

A thousand years later.
Yggdrasil was linked to consciousness of all the intelligent life-forms upon a planet.
A baton was entrusted by the pair of her mothers, the Creators. This baton was so beauteous that polishing was utterly superfluous for Yggdrasil.
However, it is essential to maintain its beauty.

“Though, it’s a little lonely without mamas.”

Yggdrasil whispered, during observing down from a great height upon the vast world.
Well-maintained and lovely streets. All the variety of facilities. There is no discontent upon this planet. Everyone is satisfied, doing what they want, when they want to, and but enjoying a life.
Orbital elevator that higher than Yggdrasil. At the top of which a spaceport, whereat anchored ships from numerous planets.
Serene world built by a pair of mothers. Utopia supported by dream-like technologies, dream-like knowledges, and overflowed with dream-like omnipresent love.
By forming an alliance with similar planets, was being made a significant contributions to the perpetual happiness and harmony​ of this quadrant.

“Uh–, Yugg-chan also wants to go to space physically…”

However, such is not destined to betide. For Yggdrasil is rooted as a part of this planet. Well, if it’s just consciousness, I can fly about ten thousand light years.

(It’s nice to travel consciously.)
(Indeed. We would want to travel by mere consciousness likewise.)

The voices of Lydia and Yuuyami can be heard by Yggdrasil. Yggdrasil is, of course, connected to both of them.
Incidentally, Lydia and Yuuyami are still alive.
Being that the pair commenced a full-scaled universe exploration, they entrusted a planet to Yggdrasil.
