1335 A New Child?

After reaching Rimuru and Ailine, I ended startling them a bit, as they were concentrated in their own world, but at the end, I was able to show them the necklace afterwards. The shiny blue jewel on it emanated a rainbow around and seemed almost mystical in nature and appearance.
"Uwaaahh! So this is the necklace I once gifted to you, masta? Wow, you mixed it with the other gifts as well? It is so powerful!" said Rimuru.
"Mama, this is shiny!" said Ailine, covering her face from the necklace's light.
"Oh my, sorry, my bad… It is indeed quite shiny, isn't it?" I asked.
I quickly told Aquamarine to stop unleashing such large amounts of shine, he seemed mildly sad because of that, but I had to make him understand that he can't go around shining so brightly in front of our faces.
He's so powerful that even the brightness he generates might make others go blind! So it is better if he could keep his shininess for himself when there are people around.
"Indeed. I used a new function that has emerged named Egos, they can be infused into equipment and weapons and enhance them into "living" beings, that can even level up by themselves! Pretty interesting, isn't it? Actually, when I infused an Ego into Aquamarine, it seems that it gained a consciousness based in all the memories we built together, dear. So he can speak and remember how even you make each part that makes him." I said to Rimuru.
"Eh? R-Really, masta? Is that true? A-Aquamarine, you remember?" wondered Rimuru, as she spoke to the necklace.
The necklace's jewel shone brightly once more as it spoke back with the gentle voice of a young boy, startling and shocking Rimuru a bit.
"Yes, I do remember, Rimuru mama! I remember every time you created me, from every single part that has made me what I am now… I am very grateful for everything…" he said cutely.
"O-Oh my… Ah, this is a bit emotional, isn't it?" sighed Rimuru, as a tiny tear came out of one of her shiny rainbow-colored eyes.
"Wow, so I got a brother?" asked Ailine with an adorable smile, the shiny girl was happy to have a brother from her mother Rimuru, although she also had a lot of other brothers anyways.
"Yes you got a brother now, his name is Aquamarine, greet him!" I said.
"N-Nice to meet you, Aquamarine!" said Ailine.
"I-I am also happy to see you, Ailine! I am happy to have a sis!" said Aquamarine.
"Uwah, his voice is cute!" said Ailine.
"You're also cute!" said Aquamarine.
"Little brother, is it true that you were made out of the things we made for mommy?" asked Ailine.
"Yeah! I am made of every single one of them merged into a single accessory, I remember well those gifts you gave to mama! The little shiny rainbow ring, the boots, and even the wristband, I am made of all of them merged together into one, I am all of them…!" said Aquamarine.
"W-Wow…" said Ailine.
"Incredible, isn't it? I never thought that mama would create something like me… I was technically born today. The power of the Egos thingy is pretty great…" said Aquamarine, he was also as surprised.
Rimuru and Ailine seemed quite fascinated with Aquamarine, more than I ever thought, this felt rather cute, it was as if a new child had been born between me and Rimuru, a little brother for Ailine, but he was made of every little thing they ever made for me, plus a lot of materials and divine points I had, every last point I had left.
He was certainly very amazing as a defensive item and also as an offensive one, and could serve both purposes simultaneously, which is pretty amazing.
"This is amazing, Masta, Aquamarine really gained sentience… I-Is it true what you're saying? Is he really made with the many things I made for you, guuu?" asked Rimuru.
"Yes, guu." I said, cutely imitating the little sound that she sometimes makes, although it has become less common as time went on.
"Guuu… This is really something else… Aquamarine, you're really like my son! I have made you, countless of the items you were made of were part of my body too, and my materials inside my divine realm…" said Rimuru.
"Wait! Your body?!" I asked.
"Yeah, guu, I took my slime as an ingredient, Ailine's too. Oh! I also often crack pieces of my core and my crown and use them as high-quality materials!" she said.
"W-What?! That's dangerous! The core is important for slimes…" I said.
"Eeeh? I am a Supreme Goddess now, so you don't have to be such a worrywart for me now, Masta! I am completely fine now." Said Rimuru.
"But that might endanger your health…" I sighed.
"Not really, it recovers super fast, the same way as your bones and the other stuff! Or your horns, I don't complain about that, right, guu? I just know you'll be fine because you constantly repeated it to us." Said Rimuru.
"O-Okay… I get it… Sorry…" I said. I wasn't accustomed to Rimuru talking back to me so much, but she had evolved a lot both physically and mentally now, and she wasn't as childish as she used to be, so she can speak more eloquently and easily discuss with me. I am not saying I like women that don't talk back or something, there are many girls in my harem that do talk back a lot…
"No, sorry, maybe I got a bit too rude guu… I am just happy to have a new son so I got too overly excited… Hehe… Let's go back for now, gu!" said Rimuru.
"You're right, let's go back home so we can show Aquamarine to everyone in there." I said.
"Yeah, let's do it!" said Ailine, as she jumped over my shoulders and sat down there, and we quickly teleported back to my castle…
