Work Text:
Myne woke up, but not in her own bed. She cracked one eyelid open, to scope out the situation. Rimuru grinned. "Good job, Diablo! Oh MAN, Leon is gonna be jealous! We summoned a specific individual! Oh, she's awake! Hiya, Myne! I'm Lord Rimuru, and today is your lucky day! I'm going to tame that berserk magic of your's, and prevent it from destroying your body from the inside out." Diablo swooned in pleasure at his Lord's praise.
Myne opened her eyes the rest of the way, focused them into a serious glare, and gingerly sat up. "Why? Why help me, a stranger?"
Rimuru shrugged. "Because I needed to summon someone specific, and your name came up? Because I want to help a fellow Japanese ex-patriot? You're doing great work in that other world, by the way. I approve."
Still suspicious, but gradually warming up to him? her? Myne got out of the bed, and bowed. "Speaking of, I don't recognize this place. Are you going to send me back?" Rimuru nodded. "That's the other half of the experiment, actually."
Myne's eyes narrowed at that. "And just what is involved with this experiment? Some painful surgery or pact with that demon over there?" Diablo paused in his swooning to look over at her, then dismissed her as utterly uninteresting, while Rimuru crossed his hands in an X. "Oh nonono, I hate that trope. Nah, you're just going to pray at that platform over there, some fairy spirits are going to show up, and then I use my Magic to unify them with your soul. You won't feel a thing." Myne nodded. "That explains all the Feystone around. Alright, I'm in."
Myne held out her arms, Rimuru picked her up, princess-carried her over to the platform that laid at the heart of the Labyrinth of Spirits, then set her back down.
Myne knelt, closed her eyes, and prayed, as if she were about to bless someone. In this case, she was about to bless herself? Oh, to have the stamina to do ANYTHING she wanted... It was from these thoughts that inferior Light spirits began to gather and drift down upon her. Rimuru thought, Huh, another Light one. Maybe I should introduce her to Kenya-kun. They raised their hand, Gluttony ate the spirits, and then Raphael got to work condensing, making an artificial personality, creating an artificial Superior Light spirit, then unified it with Myne's body. [Notice. Job complete.]
"Tada! All done! How do you feel?" Myne opened her eyes, and took mental stock. She DID feel better. It was like... She was no longer in constant pain. Slowly, she stood up on her own two feet. "Huh. You did it. I... thank you."
Rimuru beamed. "You're welcome! Glad I could help. Alright, I'm sending you back now! Seeya! We'll be in touch!" Myne barely had enough time to utter, "Eh?" before she was enveloped in a teleportation circle, and they disappeared. Rimuru dusted off his hands of some imaginary dirt, then turned to Diablo. "Well, that's my good deed for the day. C'mon, Diablo, we're going back home," before the borrowed bed and he too disappeared in the glow of a teleportation circle.
