After they entered the Tower, their group went to the teleport location. Barbara, Amon, and the rest were surprised by who was waiting for them there.
"Mother?" Barbara asked with uncertainty.
"If it's not me, it would have to be my twin?" Bianca rolled her eyes and smiled. Then she looked at Mabel and Kaia. "Hello, nice to meet you both. My name is Bianca, and I am the mother of this troublesome girl."
"Mm, nice to meet you. You can call me Kaia." Teacher Kaia squeezed Bianca's hand. Mabel did the same.
After that, Barbara asked, "Mom, why are you here?"
"Oh, I have something to do on Planet Velta, so I decided to go with you," She added, "There are some unique ingredients on this planet that I want to get for my restaurant."
"Ohh, so that's it." Barbara pretended to believe her mother, but deep down she knew it couldn't be that simple. After all, with as many subordinates as her mother had, she wouldn't have needed to go in person.
Of course, if she understood that, the others were the same, but they fell silent just like they had with Kaia.
Kaia gave Bianca a knowing look. 'It seems we have the same thought...'
Bianca looked at her and smiled in response.
�������🧬�������
Planet Velta was a very beautiful and green place. By the time they arrived, the sky was clear and it was still morning. The sky was bright with red sunlight. It was possible to see a kind of bluish white moon off on the horizon as well.
There were many trees and flowers nearby, many of which they had never heard of.
"We are far from the Secret Kingdom. Let's go in my car. I'll take you there," Teacher Kaia said.
Bianca, who was about to offer the same, accepted her kindness.
After getting into the flying car, they traveled for a few kilometers. Through the window, Amon and the girls saw many buildings, as well as different types of animals.
Although the ancient civilization was extinct, there were still people living on this planet. Since it was a planet rich in natural resources, there was no way it could run out of human life knowing that it was such a treasure trove.
However, danger was still present here. After all, there were many genetic beasts scattered across the world. Because of this, the planet had powerful genetic warriors to protect the cities that were surrounded by walls.
A while later...
Teacher Kaia stopped the flying car, and in the distance was a crowd of people. It was mostly made up of young people accompanied by someone older.
There were at least five thousand outsiders waiting there, not counting the natives who had set up different types of tents near the Secret Realm: Kohana Toreninguki.
After the young group got out of the flying car following behind Bianca and Teacher Kaia, they noticed that the temperature was quite cold in this place. Without the comfort of a car and automated heating, they were faced with a temperature of -5ºC. However, they were at least Level 1 Innate. Using their genes to overheat the body was easy for them, and that's what they did.
"Much better~" Barbara, who was already hot by nature, was the fastest to shake off the cold.
As they finished warming themselves and approached the crowd, they heard shouting here and there...
"Come try our delicious roast pork!"
"Hot and fresh mutant lamb soup. Drink a bowl in the morning and feel refreshed all day!"
"Magnetic armor! Come and see the best ones you can only find here!"
"Swords, spears, shields, axes, etc. All kinds of mighty weapons, come and see!"
The street vendors were mostly natives. The reason one could tell this was because the natives of this planet had aspects of animals, something very fanciful with a cat's tail and ears, maybe a dog, etc. But some aspects could be quite peculiar since they were from animals that their group did not know.
However, despite being like that, they were very all beautiful, since genetics improved the aesthetics of humans. Even though they had different forms than what Amon's group was used to seeing, they still all had improved genetics, thus, raising their race's charisma to the maximum, making them look incredibly pretty and cute.
Amon smelled the air that was mixed with sweet scents. Looking towards the origin of the sweet smell, he became a little interested when he saw a hot chocolate stand. For a cold climate, hot chocolate was one of the most popular stalls in the place among the drinks stalls.
To the side, there was an accordionist with a rabbit's ear playing some tune. The melody was sometimes pleasant, sometimes passionate.
While drinking hot chocolate, people listened to the music and some even ate pieces of cake while following the rhythm of the music with their heads. Their faces were full of joy.
"Amon, shall we go over there?" Barbara knew Amon's taste in chocolate very well, so she asked.
Ariel, Maisa, and Julia also knew.
Even Bianca knew that, so she offered, "Let's go there. There are still a few hours before the secret kingdom opens, so we have plenty of time."
Mabel looked at her grandmother, and seeing her nod, she did too.
"Tsk, I hate queues..." Despite her complaints, Barbara dutifully stood in line.
"Who likes them?" Julia rolled her eyes at her.
"Senior old men who have nothing better to do?" Barbara answered.
"..." Julia lost the argument.
Barbara looked at her smugly.
"It reminds me of a conversation I overheard in line at the bank on our mother planet." Ariel started to laugh.
"Oh, what was it?" Maisa asked. The gossip inside her wanted to know.
"Well, here's what happened. There were two elderly people in line and one of them said, 'Buddy, I'm 101 years old and I'm full of pains and problems. You must be about my age. How do you feel?'"
"Oh, and what did the other answer?" Julia was cooperative.
"'Like a newborn!'" Ariel said.
"Like a newborn?" Barbara asked.
"That's exactly what the other answered. 'Like a newborn'." Ariel smiled and laughed as she replied, "Then he continued, 'Yeah. No hair, no teeth, and I think I just pissed my pants'... Hahahaha!"
In the end, Ariel couldn't take it anymore and ended up bursting out laughing. Infected by her mirth, the whole group began to laugh with her as they listened to everything and imagined the scenario of two elderly people having this conversation.
Meanwhile, their turn had already come. Quickly they placed their order for a large cup of hot chocolate and a few slices of cake.
After they entered the Tower, their group went to the teleport location. Barbara, Amon, and the rest were surprised by who was waiting for them there.
"Mother?" Barbara asked with uncertainty.
"If it's not me, it would have to be my twin?" Bianca rolled her eyes and smiled. Then she looked at Mabel and Kaia. "Hello, nice to meet you both. My name is Bianca, and I am the mother of this troublesome girl."
