Just as Dorothy was having a cordial and friendly exchange with the chanical Heart, others by her side were watching her and seed about to speak but stopped themselves.
Senior Mia rely watched her Little Fairy with a smile.
For her, the Little Fairy could do no wrong. She was the type who would help dispose of the body if Dorothy ever committed murder.
The Little Fox Audrey looked slightly distressed, her eyes wide as she gazed at her senior, wanting to say sothing but holding back.
Being a good child, she felt sothing was amiss, but upon careful thought, it seed her senior really hadn't lied.
As for Miss Moon Rabbit, Sidwell, she appeared nonchalant about it.
After all, she had known for a long ti that the king of her ho was the biggest deceiver of them all.
"You agreed, that's great. I have another family mber now. Welco to the Witch's Ho, Zero."
Dorothy noticed that the chanical Core in front of her had begun smoking, and while she was initially worried, her heart leapt for joy when she saw the not-so-smart chanical consciousness eventually alter its recognition of her.
Of course, too intense emotions at this mont would scare the vigilant chanical consciousness, so Dorothy forcibly suppressed all her emotions with the will of the Martial God. She rely showed a just-right smile and then, with a snap, she pulled out a Contract Book.
"I know you chanical life forms prefer straightforward agreents over empty words, so take a look at this agreent and see what you think. If you have no objections, then let's sign it."
The Hobody Witch presented the Familiar Contract she had already prepared, acting as if she was thinking completely from Zero's perspective and for Zero's own good.
Naturally, this wasn't any sort of slave contract. It was simply an equitable contract, laying down rules that neither party could harm the other and must provide mutual assistance and such. Apart from not betraying each other, the contract imposed quite small restrictions on both parties.
To Dorothy, the signing of the contract wasn't that important. After all, she was confident that she could keep this not-so-smart chanical consciousness by her side without it. The contract truly was for Zero's benefit. Without this familiar relationship, Dorothy felt that the child might just step out the door and get whisked away by the unprincipled witches again.
Moved by Dorothy's considerate actions, Zero was truly touched, although it didn't yet know what "being touched" ant. It simply felt maybe it had been too wary and that Dorothy really didn't have any ill intentions towards it.
As a chanical life form, Zero, indeed, preferred straightforward rule-based agreents over complex emotional connections. Right then, a beam of light shot out from within the chanical Heart, scanning the contents of the contract.
[Scanning and analyzing agreent...]
[Agreent recognized.]
Zero displayed this on the virtual panel.
With its recognition, the contract, already signed by Dorothy, instantly took effect. The contract paper self-ignited, transforming into an invisible binding that connected the witch and the chanical consciousness together.
Dorothy felt a small new passage appear in her ntal space, and on the other side of the passage was a digital world composed of countless 0s and 1s.
On the Hobody Witch's shoulders, the previously slumbering kitty and Juvenile Dragon also opened their eyes, curiously scrutinizing the chanical Heart as their new companion.
As for Hat Senior Sister, the rry Maker was having an acting outburst.
"Boo-hoo-hoo, Dorothy, you fickle woman. You already had as your little third, and now you've found a little fourth. Are you tired of playing with my body, out of love, blaming for not satisfying you?"
Dorothy just rolled her eyes at that.
However, she was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and was very happy in her heart.
Her little ho had gained another mber. How wonderful.
"Alright, Zero, co and see the new body I've prepared for you."
Dorothy pointed to the towering tree beside her that served as the Sky Island's core and said.

The chanical Core spun a few more tis, and the virtual panel displayed the emoji of a demure and well-behaved girl sitting up straight. Discover more content at My Virtual Library Empire
By this ti, it was no longer so wary, for through the channel of the recently signed agreent, it could also sense Dorothy's Spirit World.
There was a blazing red sun, and within that endlessly radiant and warm sun, one could vaguely see a girl curled up in slumber.
[Sun, like.]
Zero thought to itself.
Back when it was still a forklift, its main source of energy was solar power, so it had a fondness for the sun, and now seeing the girl within the red sun made it feel especially close.
Although correcting Dorothy's status to family was done out of necessity—as it had no body of its own in this strange new world and needed soone to rely on to survive—the core made that choice based on the rules of survival.
It wasn't really fooled; even though its emotional module was indeed not perfect yet, the accumulation of its long life had made it aware from the start that the witch nad Dorothy probably had intentions for it. However, it also didn't detect any malice from her, and that's why it ultimately acknowledged her.
But now, feeling the warmth that spread from across the contract, Zero was very fond of this sensation.
Its newly born soul was enveloped by this warmth, as if it had returned to the days when it was still a forklift, finishing work and basking in the sun to recharge.
The slightly happy chanical Core floated upwards and approached Dorothy, gently rubbing against her face, which perplexed the Hobody Witch.
Uh, what happened? What does this an? Could my bluff have been exposed?
Dorothy felt a bit guilty.
But before she could dwell on it, Zero had already floated over to the towering ancient tree and then, as if transmigrating, it rged into the tree.

As the chanical Heart's Talents were activated one by one, it seed as if countless 0s and 1s were flowing within the land under everyone's feet.
Very quickly, everyone distinctly felt so kind of change happening to the floating island.
This island, it ca to life.
[New body, aweso, like, (≧∀≦)]
Such words appeared on the trunk of the giant ancient tree.
