Of course, the Elders would not miss the fun either. They went to take a look at the new street with family or friends—at least after the initial burst of traffic.

After letting a couple more hours pass by, just in the afternoon, a certain family went out to see the new buildings.

This was Althea, Garan, and their babies. Ansel followed along, though he would separate later at some point.

After all, he was going out to prepare for the celebratory party delayed by the war-slash-mob (colloquially referred to as the Idiot-massacre) a few days prior.

They decided to go on their afternoon stroll (which was something they often did when both parents didn’t have work emergencies that day).

The kids were still too small for Althea—let alone Garan—to hold their hands and walk side by side, so since the babies were too lively they had to be on… leash, er, tethers.

By this time, no one judged them. Some Terrans did blink and raise eyebrows at first, but the children were obviously not uncomfortable. They probably even preferred it so they had more freedom of movement without sacrificing safety.

For instance, on their own volition, they could go to random aunties at the side! Possibly get snacks!

Who could come close when Garan was right next to them? With tethers, that was not a problem!

What if there were other kids who wanted to greet them? No problem too! Baby Pepper even gave other girls like Mimi friendly hugs, though the boys did not dare get closer because an ice demon was watching them.

Anyway, the family took their time going around. They had until night because they go straight to the deferred celebratory event later on. Ideally, the kids would already be tired and behaved by then.

At some point, after being greeted by adoring aunties, a certain little boy went back to tug his mother’s skirt. The couple looked down on the small chubby bun looking up at his mother with large rounded eyes and puffy cheeks.

"Mwamaaa! Mewbow ea fwuff!" the baby said, pointing at a certain cotton candy store.

Althea stared. She understood, but she waited patiently for him to finish his request.

"Mwama?" Little Meatball’s eyebrows furrowed in her silence. Regardless of the answer, there would usually at least be a response. Then, he remembered her lessons.

He looked up again, eyes even more glistening. "Pwease?"

She finally smiled, kneeling down, and patted his head. "Okay."

The baby boy brightened and hugged his mother’s ankle and Althea couldn’t help but kneel down to place a smooch on his plump cheek.

"Mamaaa! Peppa! Peppa!" A little girl ran to her too, her frilly dress and the two buns on her head bouncing as she rushed.

The baby girl had just escaped the clutches of another set of aunts from another side, only to turn around and see her brother hogging their mum! Your journey continues on novelbuddy

Althea laughed, placing a sound kiss on her chubby cheek, too.

Garan watched his happy family and he leaned down to take one of the kids into his arms. The cotton candy stall was quite crowded and, for obvious reasons, they couldn’t have the children going wild in there.

The couple carried a child each and headed towards the more crowded areas as they neared the Post Street. Fortunately, it had been a couple of hours since the street opened so there was a lot less loitering crowd.

The temporary stalls were set along the streets. They allowed this for now. However, after the shops opened, they would naturally ask the stalls to move to the proper rentable spots all over the territory.

The Cotton Candy Stall was located right outside a new store. The stall was owned by none other than Den, who was doing a promotion for his soon-to-open shop on Post Street. He did not lack in telling his grand adventures of securing the shop either.

"Even if people stepped on me, I persevered. I had a mission—to bring the joy of sweetened clouds to more people!"

Anyway, the guy was quite creative. Cotton Candy already existed here even before he started his business, but Den could create various animal shapes that people loved, making him one of the favorite cotton candy shops in Alterra.

Further, the large sign behind him saying "Sweeten Your Day with Den’s Cotton Candy—Coming soon with more options!" indicated that he even made some innovations.

As for what they were, no one knew, just that the kids loved whatever he was offering now.

They lined up properly, and it was mostly kids in front of the line at this time. The children felt some strong presence and turned, recognizing them, and Althea did as well.

They were the familiar aborigine kids Maumi, Gururu, Pongo1, and their new friend Mamu2—one of the Heat Wave refugees. They were quite lively and some of the most well-adjusted kids among the aborigines. It was cute and impressive.

"Miss Althea, Sir Garan!" they said, doing the standard salute given by subordinates to higher-ups. They then turned to the babies in their arms, their eyes brightening even more. "Ah! It’s Baby Pepper and Meatball!"

"Please, go ahead!" they said, making a path for them. Being treated like this by children felt both adorable and complicated.

"No, it’s okay, we can wait," she said. It was fine if it was just them and adults, but it was weird to do that to kids. Not to mention, they didn’t want their children to grow up so entitled that all queues would clear for them.

Seeing as they insisted on not cutting line, the aborigine kids went ahead and happily bought their cotton candies.

After the kids said their farewells, they all headed to one of the benches under a sidewalk tree. Althea was curious and her eyes followed their movements, realizing that they were heading towards a big guy—Koo Yu—sitting there.

It was cute at first, but she found herself blinking in puzzlement. She realized he was carrying… goblin babies?

How did that happen?
