[Ding! Due to your Clone [Eve] constantly using the skill [Sword Arts] while you were offline, you have received 387 experience points in your skill [Sword Arts].]
[Ding! Your Skill [Sword Arts Lv: 2] has reached enough proficiency to Level up to [Sword Arts Lv: 3].]
[Ding! Your Clone [Pepper] Can Now Be Revived]
After reading some of the notifications and simply skipping the proficiency gains and skill level-ups, since she grew tired of repeatedly encountering similar messages with only slight variations in the skill names, Carmilla opened her status screen to check the changes in all the skills that had leveled up.

• Clones are loyal to the user and, if a clone dies, it will revive near the user after an hour of the clone's death. The user also gains the memories of the clone upon their death, or the user can initiate the transfer of memories from the clone. These memories can be replayed like a movie at any time.

• [Clone: 2/3] (The clone limit increases by 1 each time you level up).]
After observing all the changes, Carmilla closed her status screen panel.
What truly caught her attention was the notification informing her that Pepper could already be re-summoned. However, when Carmilla tried to use the clone skill to re-summon Pepper, a blue panel appeared in front of her, unlike when she used the clone skill to summon Eve and Pepper, which summoned the two of them right away without any panel appearing.
[Summon/Re-summon]
[Clone - Pepper]
[Clone x1]
Realizing that she had the right to choose when and where she wanted to re-summon a clone, Carmilla found this feature preferable rather than a sudden appearance of a magic circle when a clone's respawn time ended.
What if Carmilla found herself on a discreet quest, and suddenly, a conspicuous, glowing magic circle appeared? Such an occurrence could jeopardize the success of her quest.
So Carmilla tapped on the column with Pepper's name, and after pressing it, a confirmation panel appeared in front of her. After pressing 'yes' on the confirmation panel again.
