Chapter 87: Leaky Mary's Evolution!

The day after I took Elise from Leaky Mary, she called for me.

The nerve of her to come directly to my house.

Was she that desperate to get her mother back? But it's already too late.

"I'm sorry. Please don't take my mom away. Please, I'm begging you."

Leaky Mary knelt before me and begged desperately.

Pleading for her mother back. But it's far too late for that.

She should have treated her better when she had the chance. Why did she turn her own mother into a doll? Even if I gave her back now, she'd probably just turn her into a doll again.

"Don't make me laugh - you're just going to turn her into a doll again, aren't you?"

"No, absolutely not. I was wrong. I need my mom."

Only now realizing how precious a mother is. Should've figured that out sooner.

But it's too late. Way too late. Your mom's a Mutant now and even though she gave birth to you, she'll never treat you as her daughter.

Rather, you're an object of hatred. If I told her to kill you, she would.

"Unfortunately, it's far too late for that. You've been nothing but an object of hatred to your mother for a while now."

"What the hell. What did you do to her?"

"How do you think you can revive a brain-dead woman? For reference, I'm no Healer so fixing the brain is impossible."

While there might be ways to turn the brain-dead Elise into a doll, ultimately the only way to restore her sense of self was to make her a Mutant.

"What the hell..."

"I can stably implant Cores into people to turn them into Mutants. What do you think about that?"

That should be enough of a hint, right?

"N-no way... you revived mom as a Mutant?"

"That's right. Your mom Elise is a Mutant now. She appeared blonde in the video call, but turning into a Mutant made her hair black."

"How could you..."

Rosemary wailed.

At the fact her mother was no longer human. And at the fact she'd lost her mother.

"You know too, right? That becoming a Mutant amplifies negative emotions? When your mom first became a Mutant, I made sure she only recalled bad memories about you."

"Did I... did I really mess up that badly?"

You call that a question?

"Hey, you. Ever think about the families and friends of your doll victims? Don't you think they want their loved ones back too? But did you ever return them? No, you just kept using them."

I may be a bitch, but you're no better. The dolls in Leaky Mary's possession weren't just missing persons.

There were also dolls who had to cut ties with their precious family and friends after being discovered.

They were forced to separate against their will. Deep down they didn't want to part. But because of Rosemary, they all had to.

The previous Choi Si-woo might have forgiven Rosemary because he needed her Pussy, but I have no intention of letting this slide.

"*sob* *sniff*"

"Even if you can't be a proper daughter again, I said I'd let you be treated as a disliked child, right?"

"Yes."

I whispered in Leaky Mary's ear.

"If you want to be with your mother, there's only one way. You have to become a Mutant."

"A Mutant?"

"Yeah. That's the only answer now. Then I'll explain everything nicely to your mom. What do you say?"

Even though I'm giving her this choice, her answer is already decided.

"If I become a Mutant, will you really help me reconnect with mom?"

"Yes. What's your decision?"

If I were Choi Si-woo maybe it'd be different, but to Leaky Mary, I'm objectively an enemy regardless of who's at fault. So it's best to have insurance in case she betrays me in the worst case scenario.

That insurance is turning Leaky Mary into a Mutant. Once she's a Mutant too, she won't be able to stab me anywhere. Plus I can make her my loyal servant.

"Okay. I'll do it."

"Mom~! She says she wants to be your daughter again!"

*CRACKLE*

Elise, who had been waiting, appeared with a flash of lightning.

"Oh really? How shameless."

"M-mommy..."

Leaky Mary cried pitifully.

"Mom, how about treating her like your child, for my sake? She says she'll become a Mutant."

"Really? Now that's a wise decision."

She says giving up being human is a wise choice.

Elise has truly become more than the woman I wanted. Isn't she perfectly suited to be my mother now?

"Mommy..."

"If you follow what me and my daughter Eun-ha say from now on, I'll at least treat you like a daughter. What do you think?"

"I'll do it. I'll listen to everything you and Eun-ha say. So please... please let me stay by your side."

Rosemary knelt before me and begged desperately.

"Mom, this is an A-Class Core - what do you think? Here, use your own hands to plant it in Rosemary's chest. You're creating your new daughter."

I handed Elise an ominous-looking Core.

Now's the chance. To turn her into a Mutant while Leaky Mary can't make proper judgments.

I'm really curious how Rosemary will change.

Will she become as cute as a doll? What kind of powers will she get?

"W-wait. Wait. N-no. This isn't right! M-mom. Are you really going to turn your real daughter into a Mutant?"

"You're backing out now?"

This is disappointing - to think Leaky Mary would try emotional manipulation at the end. She wasn't this emotional even in the original.

Maybe she still has pride as a Hunter? Or is it national pride?

I get it since she came here as America's representative. Even though she's called a Villain, she was still technically a Hunter on the surface, just one who fell to the dark side pursuing beauty.

"But telling me to stop being human! That's too cruel!"

Shaking her head while crying streams of tears - such an obvious ploy to escape the situation.

"You only look human on the outside - your actions are more evil than any Villain."

"T-that's... not true. You stay out of this! Mom! Please! I promise I won't do bad things like making dolls anymore, so please forgive me!"

Ugh, she just doesn't get it. Even Elise looks annoyed.

"Do you mean it?"

"Yes!"

Oh, is she going to forgive her? No, Elise's eyes are still coldly fixed on Leaky Mary.

"My beloved daughter. Yes, come to mommy's arms."

"See! Yoo Eun-ha! I told you! Mother won't abandon me!"

She's looking at me with a pathetic smirk, but does Leaky Mary not notice her mom's fake smile?

*SQUELCH*

The sound of something piercing flesh.

Looking at Rosemary, blood was trickling from her mouth and chest.

"Huh?"

Rosemary looked at her mother with a confused expression.

Yes, that's it. That betrayal-filled look.

"You shouldn't expect parental love from a Mutant, you know."

"M-mom? W-why..."

As Rosemary stares at Elise with a face full of betrayal, there couldn't be a more fucked up scene.

The moment a mother directly kills her daughter as a human to revive her as a Mutant.

The "why" is obviously that she has no intention of falling for a rotten daughter like you.

"I told you, didn't I? Eun-ha is my only daughter. So this is the only way if you want to be my daughter."

"W-wait... HNNGHK!?"

The A-Class Core was completely embedded in her chest.

I actually considered using an S-Class Core, but that would mean going somewhere else to hunt an S-Rank Monster.

I can't leisurely nurture Sin with my Demonic Power while leaving it unchecked either, so for now I'll enhance her moderately with an A-Class Core and level her up while fucking her.

Damn though, even if she was her mom, she really rammed that in there.

*CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

"It's always fun watching the Core eat up the heart."

This Core must be carnivorous since it's physically devouring the heart.

I knew different Cores had different methods of Mutantification, but I didn't know about eating the heart.

Since Elise is directly corrupting her daughter, I'm not sure what side effects there might be.

When someone other than me attempts Mutantification, they just become simple madmen who've lost all sense like Kim Seung-joon.

So I flowed Demonic Power into Rosemary's body to stabilize the Mutantification.

I wonder how Rosemary will change?

After the Core took the place where her heart was, the open wound transformed into something like lips before gently healing over.

Damn, that's creepy.

After some time passed, light gathered around the heart Core, and Leaky Mary's hair turned black and grew a bit longer.

Her skin became even whiter and her open eyes became emotionless black ones. They used to be blue, but they changed nicely.

Eyes like a corpse's, devoid of any emotion.

Her body changed too, developing what looked like ball joints.

"What the hell, she's changing to look like a doll. Ball joints and everything. Is she really becoming a doll?"

A Doll Master becoming an actual doll? Shouldn't she at least maintain a human appearance?

"Ah...ugh...ARGH! Kuk... AAARGH!"

*CREEAK CREAK CREEEAK*

The expressionless, emotionless doll that was Rosemary raised its head.

This is kind of disturbing.

There's no Pussy. No Pussy at all. Damn, does this mean I can't fuck Rosemary anymore?

While I was feeling disappointed, the doll Rosemary suddenly lowered her head and started coughing.

"*cough* *cough* *HACK*!"

After coughing for a while she vomited something - it was another Rosemary.

"*cough* *cough* *HACK*!"

That Rosemary vomited too and another Rosemary came out.

And so the Eagle Five Brothers... no, the Leaky Mary Five Sisters were created.

The issue is they're still dolls though. Huh?

One of the five looks normal. Unlike when she was human, her face has a somewhat cold aura that feels different from humans.

More importantly, she's naked.

Looks like the light that spreads during Mutantification strips off clothes.

"Ugh... huh? What the... *cough* *cough*"

But looking closely at the main Rosemary body, while everything else is there, her hands are a bit different.

Hands like a mannequin's. Hands that look made for manipulation.

Plus her movements are strangely unnatural... no, is that just because she just got up?

"What the hell, my body feels weird."

Looking carefully, there were wooden puppet control handles above like those used to control marionettes.

Are they made of Magic Power?

No, there's some bizarre power beyond Magic Power contained in them.

"Hohoho. So that's how it works. Rosemary. Look up."

"That's..."

"It's your power. Try controlling your body with that."

"What is this... my body feels weird."

The cross-shaped handles floating above Rosemary's head moved, unnaturally manipulating her mannequin-like fingers.

Has Rosemary's main body become those handles?

"Hmm, let me check. Akashic Record?"

[Yes, Master. Rosemary's Mutantification is an upgraded version of her Doll Master ability from when she was human. While her previous power was 'Doll Master', now she herself has become a doll. Her ability is 'Doll Theater' - she can control not just the body but also the consciousness of those she turns into dolls, and can transfer herself to use their bodies as her main body.]

Oh, that's kind of an enviable ability.

In other words, even if her body is destroyed she can move to another body and use it as her new main body, right?

Meaning she can experience being the owner of different Pussies? That's an ability Kssareh would be incredibly jealous of.
