Chapter 6: My new self 

She turned her head toward the child version of me and said with a calm and soothing voice.

"Calm down, little one. You are putting yourself in danger. "

My young self turned toward the fairy and said with a determined look.

"I will not let her take over. I will not let her erase me."

My older self now understood what was going on. She approached her alter ego. Once in front of her, she sat on the floor and started looking the other one in the eyes.

"I didn't mean to frighten you. I am sorry."

Young Alice showed a surprised expression. She still looked defiant when she answered.

"Why does someone who wants to process me apologize? Are you not an evil spirit?

Old Alice laughed when she heard what the other one said.

"I am not an evil spirit. Like I said before, I am you. More exactly, I am you from our previous life. And I am apologizing because I was too eager to finally fuse with you. I did not consider how fearful this situation is."

Young Alice felt doubtful about what she just heard.

"How is this possible? Everyone knows that you lose all your memories when you reincarnate."

This time, it was the fairy who answered.

"Let me show you."

The fairy snapped her fingers, and a white dot appeared. That dot started to expand into a big rectangular shape resembling a screen. Once it took shape, the screen began to play the memory of my meeting with Charon and Destiny.

The young me watched the scene with her mouth slightly opened in shock. She could not believe that I actually met Gods before.

Once the memory was done playing, the screen disappeared. There was a moment of silence before the young Alice said

"So it is true. You really are me. But why was it so painful?"

"I'm sorry, but I don't know."

The fairy then intervened in our conversation.

"Let me explain. First, none of you are at fault. It seems the goddess of fate miscalculated the situation. She didn't think your new personality would be so developed, so she thought the merge would be smooth. Secondly, she thought you would be asleep when the seal was released."

The young me then interrupted the explanation.

"Why did she not let me keep my memories from birth?"

"Because having an adult mind in a toddler body would have been a far more traumatic experience.

After thinking for a while, she turned her head towards her other self and said.

"Okay, I understand. But what about me? My personality and feelings, what about them?"

My older self answered with a kind smile, trying to reassure her younger self.

"While you were unaware of me growing up, I was still inside you. All your experiences and all your feelings are also a part of me. I love our family as much as you. As for our personalities, they will merge. Only our good traits will remain. Our bad ones will be overwritten."

"What do you mean bad traits? I don't have bad traits," said young Alice, her pride visibly wounded.

"Haha, everyone has bad traits. Having pride is okay, but you have too much. You tend to slack off because of it. Being a genius is great, but nothing can replace hard work. On the other hand, I have lots of ambitions, but my lack of self-confidence makes me hesitate too much."

My two selves continue to chat for a while. It was apparent that my younger self had accepted the existence of her past life. As their conversation continued, my old self started to disappear.

Soon after, it was gone entirely, and only the young Alice remained now talking to herself with her eyes closed.

When she opened them, only one Alice was remaining. The fusion was done, and I was lying in our bed, finally complete. My body was sore and covered in sweat.

I got off the bed and started walking toward the bathroom attached to my bedroom to shower.

Once inside, I said.

"Miss Fairy, are you still here?"

[Yes, Alice, I am here. I am now linked to your soul and the system. My name is —--. You can communicate with me at any time by using your mind.]

"Sorry, but I can't understand your name. All I could hear was a blurred noise."

[Sorry, but it seems that I am not allowed to tell you my name yet, but you can call me Mimi.]

I was pissed off by that explanation.

"Don't tell me it's that 'You don't have enough authority' bullshit! Destiny promised me a non-scheming system."

[No, it's not you the problem. It's me. I am still in a sort of trial period. So until I have proven myself, I have some restrictions on my actions.]

"Is it Destiny doing? Why did she do that? She didn't seem like the type to make things difficult for nothing."

[It is not for nothing. I did unforgivable things before being assigned as your helper.]

"What did you do to deserve such a punishment?"

[Sorry, but…]

"You are not allowed blah blah."

[Sorry]

"Don't worry about it. I am just curious. I feel like I am familiar with you, but all your features are blurred, so I am a little frustrated."

I finished washing myself and left the shower. As I was drying myself, I examined myself in the mirror.

While my face still had some traces of child chubbiness, I could see that I would become a beauty after growing up. My smooth white skin was devoid of any defects and hair. My chest was flat, of course, but after looking more closely, I could see they already started developing.

When I looked at my genitals, I couldn't help but smirk. On top of my pussy, where my clitoris should have been, was my penis.

"The Gods really understand me well. I must thank them for giving me such a body."

[Pervert]

I began to laugh after hearing that.

"If you find that perverted, you are not ready for what will come later. But I am glad that I don't have balls. It would have ruined the aesthetics."

[Yes, I agree.]

« Now, who's is perverted again? »

[Idiot…]

I stopped looking at myself and got back to my room. After changing into some cute blue pajamas, I threw myself onto the bed and said

«Okay, let's take a look at that system.»

A/N: Sorry that I was unable to post yesterday. I had to leave my phone at the repair shop. I will post another chapter this evening.
