"... Oh! There's also that time where Daddy brought me to the bouncy castle and we did somersaults there! It was so fun! I should bring you there again!"
She really didn't stop at all.
We were just cuddled against our own split bodies of Master while this 'child' continued to ramble on and on.
Master was also patting our heads the entire time so it made the situation a little more bearable but does this 'child' ever stop?
I decided to cut in then, "Could I ask something?"
Her eyes sparkled as she turned to me, "What is it? What is it?"
"Why do you do all this?"
"Eh? What do you mean?"
"You don't know me, I don't even show you any indication of my interest in you, yet you're still dragging me around like we're the best of friends. Is there a reason why you're even spending time with me?"
Of course, my Omniscience had already shown me the answer but I still did not understand it. IT merely told me that she was doing this because she wanted to.
She tilted her head, "Do we need a reason to have fun?"
"Fun?"
"Yea! Did you have fun today? I had a lot of fun! Usually my other siblings would think I'm too pushy and stuff but you didn't! You played with me and didn't say I was annoying!"
"That's because you would have made a fuss otherwise," I pointed out.
"Ehehe~ But you still accompanied me to play and we had a lot of fun didn't we?"
"I do not understand this either. What is fun?"
Omniscience did tell me what the meaning of the word is but I do not believe I had gained any pleasure from this outing. It was simply just an experience and nothing else.
The 'child' gasped, "Oh! Are you one of my siblings who have never gone out to do anything for fun before?"
"I suppose that would be an accurate assumption."
It's true that I never thought about doing anything for 'fun' since all of my time was dedicated to getting Master to return to His original self. There was no point in doing anything else without Master around after all.
"Ooohhh~ Is it because you feel like there is no fun to be had if Daddy isn't around? It is, isn't it? I get it, I get it~ In that case, we should be playing with Daddy instead of just with ourselves instead! Come on, come on!"
She jumped up from Master's lap and reached out her hand to me, expecting me to take it.
I was comfortable in Master's arms so I didn't really feel like moving away from my current position at the moment.
She giggled, "Ehehe~ I guess you'd rather just cuddle with Daddy? I know the feeling~ The first time I got here and cuddled with Daddy, I just stayed there for a very long time~ Daddy gave me lots of headpats and cookies so I never wanted to leave~"
Master is perfect after all, it makes sense that anyone would be unwilling to leave perfection voluntarily, myself included.
"But let's go~ There's a lot of things we can do with Daddy aside from just cuddling! Actually, you can ask Daddy to carry you along as well, that way you can still remain cuddled against Daddy while we walk! It took me a while to figure that one out!"
I stared at her for a little while, using Omniscience to figure out what she had in mind for the two of us and finding out that she wanted us to play some kind of game called 'tag'.
Once again, an incomprehensible activity. If the goal was simply to 'tag' someone so that you aren't 'it', why is it even necessary to chase them around when you can simply just manipulate reality and space to prevent yourself from being 'it' in the first place?
Truly incomprehensible.
But what was even more incomprehensible was the fact that my hand had reached out and grabbed onto hers, allowing myself to be pulled up from Master's embrace and onto my feet. It seemed like I actually wanted to try it.
"Ehehe~ I know just the game we can play together with Daddy! Follow me!"
The two split bodies of Master followed us as the 'child' guided me back towards the "City of Dreams", emerging once more in the city that was in perpetual day time.
We went back to the park where she had first brought me to play 'hide and seek' and gathered there was a different group of 'children' who seemed to have been waiting for her.
"Daddy, Daddy! I'm here! I'm here!" She waved, getting one of the split bodies' attention.
I assume that her own split body of Master must have notified this one of her intention to join their game.
"Fufu~ In that case, we can start now. There's three of me here so we'll limit the play area to this park. Make sure not to go too far! We'll start once I count to ten, ok?"
"Yes, Daddy!" The other 'children' cheered.
"Alright, now let's start~ One… Two…"
"Let's go!!" The girl cried out, pulling me to run away towards the other end of the park.
"Can't we just teleport?" I asked.
"Muuu! You're saying boring things again! It won't be fun if there is no challenge! Make sure you don't use any powers in the game and just enjoy yourself!"
I tilted my head, "But that would increase the likelihood of losing by at least ninety five percent. Why do we even play with such odds?"
"Ehehe~ Because you don't need to win in this game to have fun! Come on! You'll find out soon enough! Look, look! Daddy's already coming! Run! Don't let Daddy catch you!"
This is all truly so bizarre.
For the first time in my life, I started to run.
I chanced a look behind me and I saw Master starting to chase after some of the 'children' to catch them, though He did limit His speed to a manageable one so that we actually did have a chance of outrunning Master.
One of them started heading towards us and the 'child' dragging me along started to increase her speed, pulling me along with her to escape.
I don't understand this either… She could run faster if she just left me behind and escaped by herself. In fact, if she were to throw me towards Master and escape, her odds of avoiding capture would increase by at least two fold.
Yet she doesn't seem to even be considering such an option.
Such a strange game this is…
…
But yet… What is this warm feeling I'm getting just by knowing that there's someone chasing after me?
