Chapter 138
The Subspace Storage Warehouse Keeper Fake Doll.
It popped out holding two pieces of purple material.
"Gom-gom, gom-gom-gom?"
You're saying we just have to touch this?
Ailee immediately provided Interpretation for my question.
Hearing the Interpretation, Heuksuni nodded.
"■■□■, ■■■□ ■□■□■."
"She heard from her Master that the Dimension Domain is more likely to take an interest only in the first person to touch the Otherworldly Material in this world. I guess it doesn't care about the second person to touch it."
It only takes an interest in the first person to touch it....
Come to think of it, the first one to touch the Otherworldly Material was the Warehouse Keeper Fake Doll.
However, our Warehouse Keeper Fake Doll is obviously an exception.
Since it's an inanimate object that can easily go in and out of the Subspace Storage.
Let alone the fact that its Information Window doesn't even pop up, meaning it has no level or power, and since it doesn't possess a soul, it can't belong to a Domain anyway.
"■□, ■■■ ■□■."
"She says our Warehouse Keeper Doll touching it probably won't be an issue. Unlike you, Bear Baby, who failed to enter the Subspace Storage, this doll can go in and out as it pleases, so the Dimension Domain won't treat it as a living creature and won't be interested."
Heuksuni seemed to share the same thought as me.
But I see she noticed me trying to enter the Subspace Storage earlier.
Then Heuksuni must have also realized by now that there are two categories within the Doll Tribe.
The Doll Tribe with souls, and those without.
Anyway.
I should just hand them over quickly.
"Gom-gom, gom-gom."
I said, looking at Jjokkomi and Urami.
Telling them to each take one piece of the Otherworldly Material.
"Kku-o!"
"Go-o, go-o!"
Before handing over the Otherworldly Material.
I briefly considered casting a Luck Buff on them too.
But I decided against it.
I doubt applying a Luck Buff would increase the chances of the Dimension Domain taking an interest. In fact, if they were coated with the power of another Domain, it might just shun them instead.
"I got it!"
"Go-o!"
Jjokkomi and Urami received the purple materials.
For now, there were no visible changes.
I was worried it might be a harmful substance, but seeing them standing there perfectly fine put my mind at ease.

I checked Jjokkomi's information.
It was an Information Window visible to everyone, brought up by running the Analysis Module.
There were no changes in the Information Window either.
It was identical to what I saw earlier.
For reference, she reached level 37 a few days ago.

Similarly, I opened Urami's Information Window using the Analysis Module.
No changes for Urami either.
Well, I wasn't expecting anything anyway.
There's no way a single piece of Otherworldly Material could draw the attention of the Dimension Domain.
Just as I thought that and was about to look away from the Information Window.
"Huh? Bear Baby, Urami's Information Window is suddenly flickering?"
"Kku-o? Oppa's Information Window looks weird!"
"Go-o-o?"
Buzz-

Urami's Information Window was updated.
His level skyrocketed in an instant, and Domain information that hadn't been there before appeared.
What the, how did this happen?
He became affiliated with a Domain with just a single piece of Otherworldly Material?
Wasn't it hard to draw attention with just one?
I immediately checked Jjokkomi's information again.
Just like I saw earlier, Jjokkomi was still not affiliated with a Domain.
Only Urami was now affiliated with the Dimension Domain.
"Kku-o-o?! Urami Oppa is affiliated with the Dimension Domain!"
"U-eo, u-eo!"
"Why is Urami the only one affiliated?"
Everyone was surprised, not just me.
"Go-o...!"
Urami himself seemed surprised too,
"■□■■, ■■?!"
Judging by her expression, Heuksuni seemed surprised as well.
Heuksuni could also read the Information Window I brought up.
Because anyone can read the text on an Information Window.
I had already confirmed a long time ago that even Humans could read them.
Anyway, what on earth is really going on?
While everyone was full of questions, Heuksuni suddenly let out an exclamation.
"■...!"
"What is it, Heuksuni?"
"□□■■, ■□□■ ■■■□□■ ■■, ■■■."
Heuksuni said something to Ailee.
After hearing everything, Ailee turned her gaze to us and provided Interpretation.
"Heuksuni says she wonders if the Dimension Domain was already interested in baby Urami from the start? So, just making contact with the Otherworldly Remnant once was enough to max out its interest."
The Dimension Domain was already interested in Urami from the start?
......Ah.
Come to think of it.
Urami did have the Teleport skill.
Perhaps the Dimension Domain showed interest because he possessed that skill.
Urami, this punk.
He was a guy brimming with talent for the Dimension Domain.
***
"Go-o, go-o-o!"
Urami had gained a new skill.
It was the Subspace Storage, the skill Heuksuni possessed.
It seemed to be a basic skill one acquired upon joining the Dimension Domain.
"■□, ■■."
Hehehe.
Heuksuni looked at me, giggling cheerfully.
What kind of look is that?
Is that a sign asking for a compliment?
Alright, good job.
Having Ailee provide Interpretation, I praised Heuksuni.
And she practically died of happiness.
Hmm. But she seems to have her head in the clouds a bit too.
Does she not realize that if Urami gains the Subspace Storage skill, her own usefulness will decrease?
If I were any other bad monster, you would've been tossed aside after outliving your usefulness, kiddo.
Of course, I have no intention of abandoning Heuksuni.
Because I'm a Teddy Bear who knows how to repay a favor.
Even if she becomes useless to us in the future, I planned to embrace her until the very end out of pure loyalty. As long as Heuksuni didn't betray us first, that is.
"Go-o, go-o-o."
"Kku-o-o! Oppa became amazing!"
Urami, who had now become affiliated with the Dimension Domain.
He not only acquired the Subspace Storage skill, but his original Teleport skill was also enhanced.
It could be cast on himself, of course,
and also on others, and while Long-Distance Teleport was possible if a large amount of Mana was consumed, the Teleport skill was originally exclusively for short distances.
Once that skill was used, there was a cooldown period before the next use.
However, with the skill enhanced, as long as there was enough Mana, it could be used without a cooldown.
"Go-o, go-o, go-o!"
Flash! Flash!
Urami was currently using Infinite Teleport with an excited look on his face.
He didn't gain any other additional skills.
I guess he might obtain a new skill related to the Dimension Domain once he achieves a Limit Breakthrough and undergoes Evolution.
From what I heard.
Heuksuni didn't have any skills other than Subspace Storage either.
***
Heuksuni and Urami.
The two of them, with their hands full holding White Mana Stones.
Opened the Subspace Storage and continuously created rifts while recharging their Mana.
Heuksuni kindly taught him the method to create rifts.
Thanks to that, the work speed doubled,
and our Fake Dolls repeatedly went in and out of the two Subspace Storages, snatching Otherworldly Remnants and returning.
"Kku-o!"
The number of times Jjokkomi touched the Otherworldly Material: five times.
So far, there were no changes.
"Kku-o...!"
Number of touches: ten times.
Still, no change occurred.
The Otherworldly Material that had been touched once was practically garbage, so we incinerated it.
"Kku-o......?"
The number of touches reached a whopping thirty times.
Yet, Jjokkomi was still not affiliated with the Dimension Domain.
"When is it my turn...."
Jjokkomi heavily dropped her head.
She wore a despondent expression, wondering if she just didn't have the talent for it.
While Jjokkomi was feeling depressed.
The Fake Doll returned with an Otherworldly Remnant, and the moment she made her fiftieth touch.

Finally.
A change occurred in Jjokkomi's Information Window.
Her level rose, and she became affiliated with the Dimension Domain.
It seemed that upon affiliating with the Dimension Domain, one's level inherently increased as well.
I, who had been continuously checking the information with Helper, immediately ran the Analysis Module and displayed the Information Window for everyone.
"Kk-kku-o? Did it work? Did I really get it too?!"
Jjokkomi's face lit up as she jumped up from her spot.
"Gom-gom, gom-gom."
It's a success, congratulations.
As I offered my calm congratulations, Jjokkomi threw both hands in the air and jumped with joy.
She was so happy that she even wiggled her bottom and did a little dance.
"Kku-o-o-o! I have a Domain now too!!!"
Just as she was roaring in excitement.
"Kku-o-o-o?!"
Swoosh-!
Blue Mana flowed out from Jjokkomi's body.
That Mana instantly enveloped Jjokkomi, and soon a single Mana Orb was formed.
She had entered the preparation phase for a Limit Breakthrough.
But is this a Forced Limit Breakthrough?
Judging by how panicked Jjokkomi looked, she didn't seem to have entered that state willingly.
Jjokkomi, who had unexpectedly entered Limit Breakthrough mode.
It was then, while we were blankly staring at her Mana Orb.
Crack-!
The Mana Orb split open.
And from within, the newly transformed Jjokkomi revealed herself.
Her size had become smaller than before,
and her shimmering fur held a brilliant blue light.
"Kku-o?"

"What just happened?"
In a brief moment of less than 10 seconds.
In this place where Fox's star Buff hadn't even appeared, Jjokkomi finished her Limit Breakthrough and completed her Evolution in a flash.
No, how did this happen?
Could this also be the power of the Dimension Domain?
***
The moment she became affiliated with the Dimension Domain,
Jjokkomi leveled up, achieved a Limit Breakthrough, and even completed her Evolution.
She also obtained the Subspace Storage skill like Heuksuni and Urami.
And Jjokkomi mentioned that she seemed to have acquired one more new skill.
What was that skill?
She said it was the Dungeon Connection skill.
Based on the outside world.
She said it was an ability that allowed her to search for a Dungeon close to our Dungeon and open a Portal connected to it.
I heard she instinctively realized what this newly acquired skill was.
"Kku-o-o... Focus, focus... mental focus......!"
Jjokkomi closed her eyes and reached out her hand.
She was searching for a nearby Dungeon.
About 5 minutes had already passed with her in that state.
"Found it!"
In the direction she had reached out her hand.
The space twisted, creating a circular passage.
It was a Portal that clearly revealed the space beyond it.
And beyond the Portal.
Familiar faces could be seen.
"U-um?"
"Turtle?"
It was Tosun's Mom and Turtle, munching on a Carrot.
"Son-in-law Bear?"
The Dungeon Jjokkomi had connected to was the Rabbit Village inside the Rabbit Dungeon.
