In a faraway place, two men are discussing with each other inside a castle with grand and magnificent structures. The two men were one old and the other middle-aged. Of course, these are just in terms of looks; these people have lived for a really long time.
"Father, there's no need to worry. Although we didn't get the Cosmic weapon, it's not like they're going to come out of it alive, either."
" And their child, even if it doesn't die before being born, 'll still be useless. Besides, didn't we get a strand of Cosmic Energy?, I have melded it into Genn's body, coupled with our clan's inheritance. He'll surely lead our clan to a new height in the future."
The middle-aged man patiently explained to the old man, who had a slight frown on his face.
"Gann child, you can never be too careful. Since we have already reached this step, it's only normal to make sure there's no future trouble left."
"That weapon disappeared into space. Although the chances are small, it is still possible that they were sent into one of the other domains."
"How about this? You dispatch people to search across the other six domains to look for their traces. Also, make a simulation for a child from them and look for such faces too."
"Of course, you don't need to use too many resources on this. After all, it may not be possible that they can make it out of there."
The old man continued to advise the middle-aged man.
"Ok, father",
said Gann. As they were talking, a young male child walked into the castle hall.
"Grandpa!!"
He called out.
"Aiyooo... My dear Genn,"
The creased old man's face relaxed back to normal as he appeared and picked up the boy.
"Grandpa, I'm no longer a child. Why are you still picking me up?" The child complained.
"Well, you're barely four. To me, you're as good as being in the stomach." "Hahaha!!".
In the Ascii village. An old man going home with his daughter was a normal sight on this street. But something seemed off today.
"Old Man Basse, did you adopt another child?"
A woman from the neighborhood asked the old man. Before the girl could talk, the old man quickly shouted
"Yes!".
"But why is it so small this time around? Are you planning to breastfeed him, too?"
The woman kept asking.
"He's a boy."
Said the old man, who pretended like he didn't hear any of her questions. However, Old Man Basse was also wondering if it would be okay to feed this child milk from livestock.
'Or do I need to go hunt for a powerful beast's milk for him?'
The old man wondered while walking. Soon, they walked into a compound that was quite big. It had plenty of edible fruit trees planted inside it, with a brick gate that surrounded it. Inside the compound was a not-too-tall building, painted green. The old man and co quickly entered the house after closing their gate door.
"Shandha, quickly boil water and prepare a bath for him."
Shandha immediately ran out to prepare the bath, as instructed by Old Man Basse. The old man quickly bathed him.
"Grandpa, how do you know how to bathe children?"
Shandha's tiny voice sounded.
"Well, you grew up with me, didn't you?"
"Grandpa, he has a set of teeth."
Shandha screamed out to her grandpa, who was preparing milk to give the child.
"Yeah, I saw that."
The old man, who was also flabbergasted, replied.
"Boy, can you be normal for once?"
"You not only have long green hair and a pair of shiny green eyes, you even have teeth, all with a bone age that's not even up to a week."
The old man muttered
'This is one fucking weird child, 'Old Man thought Basse in his head.
"Grandpa, can we feed him normal food, as he already has teeth?"
Shandha asked as she carefully looked at the child, who was also staring at them.
"Let's try,"
The old man agreed immediately.
"Bring a plate of rice from the kitchen."
After some time, [.....]
"Why is he eating so much?"
Little Shandha asked with widened eyes. The old man also looked on with amazement at the child, who just wolfed down a bowl of cooked rice grains.
Inside a cave on a snowy mountain, a female bear just gave birth to a little male bear.
"When is he coming back for crying out loud?"
The new mother was muttering when she heard a rustling sound from outside the cave. She quickly raised her head to look when a huge male bear walked in with a massive amount of flesh on its back.
"Look, Scraf, I got your congratulatory gift."
"Do you like it?"
"Quickly eat and recover more energy so that our son will be stronger in the future."
"I want him to be the strongest White Furred bear in his generation, in all of this mountain range."
"Why are you carrying a human child, too?" The mother bear asked the big male bear, who couldn't stop rambling about the mountain range and peers.
"Ahhan, I found this human child on my way up here. He looks rather interesting, so I brought him to be my boy's playmate when he grows up."
"Can't you find other playmates for him?
Does it have to be a human?
Besides, what's up with his skin color?
Why's it tanned? Could he be from that place?".
The mother bear posed a series of questions to the bear, who suddenly became dumbfounded by the number of questions he was asked at the same time.
"I say, can you let me talk even once?" Big Grund looked at his wife incredulously.
"Stop staring, I'm asking cause I won't breastfeed him. How do you expect him to survive?" "Ahhh, don't worry about him. I saw teeth in his mouth when I was bringing him here. We can feed him honeycomb and honey.
That's enough energy for him to grow up with.
Besides, he could survive days on this snowy mountain. I feel like he's very different from other humans."Bigg Grund reassured his wife.
"As for his skin color, that's weird indeed. Does that place really exist?"
'How can a human child have such tanned skin?'
It was now Bigg Grund's turn to wonder.
