Chapter 350: Chapter 349: What Really Is Little Flora?
Many university students looked in the direction of Amon’s group. Whether because of him—since he had become quite famous at the university at least—or because of Little Flora.
And then, a question began to be shared... Who were the parents of that child? However, the traits she shared with Amon and Barbara were striking, precisely because of this, the speculations were heading toward Amon&Barbara.
"Grandma said she’s waiting for us in her lab." Mabel said, ending the communication through her wristwatch.
Gently placing his hand on Little Flora’s head, Amon said: "Well, let’s see if Teacher Kaia can unravel this ’enigma’ for us."
Obviously, he was talking about Little Flora. Her existence was still a mystery to them.
Although he knew she was an existence created from Amon and Barbara’s ’DNA’ so to speak, and a self-sustaining subspace had been created in Amon’s body, there were still many things that remained a mystery.
When the people around began to show more than simple interest in them, Amon simply let the emotions of boredom and calmness mix and affect those people.
The moment this happened, the initial interest in them vanished.
The girls looked at Amon, knowing he had done something, but said nothing and continued walking toward the TN Laboratory.
...
"Papa, what place is this?" Little Flora asked when they arrived at the TN Laboratory.
Patiently, he explained.
Holding a strand of hair on each side with her chubby little hands, she brought her hands together in a cute pose, humming: "Ohh, so we’re going to meet Grandma Kaia?"
She had no idea who Kaia was, but hearing Mabel call her that, Little Flora imitated her.
Laughing a little, Barbara touched her head, agreeing: "Yes, Mabel’s grandma is here. We’ll meet her and then go out to eat something delicious, okay?"
"Yay~!" She spun around, dancing, making everyone laugh at her cuteness.
"Ara, what an adorable little child~"
A voice came from afar.
Little Flora, who was dancing, hid behind Barbara shyly.
Soon, it became possible to see the figure of a beautiful woman.
She was a tall and slender woman, wearing a long white lab coat. She had straight hair down to her shoulders. She had a beautiful face, as beautiful as the waves of autumn, and there was a small mole at the corner of her right eye, which added a devilish charm.
"Grandma!" Mabel ran to her.
Like a rocket bullet, Mabel threw herself into Kaia’s arms.
"Ara ara, my sweet child." Kaia hugged her lovingly, stroking her hair: "It must have been a tough journey. But, is it okay to act like this in front of your friends?"
"It’s okay, I trust them, and they must understand why I want to be a little spoiled by my grandma~" Mabel replied.
She was acting completely different from her usual cool and indifferent demeanor. It was a striking contrast for those who knew her.
Over Mabel’s shoulder, Kaia smiled. She said to Amon and the girls: "Let’s not stand around in the hallway, follow me to my office."
Julia, Maisa, and Ariel were smiling, though initially surprised by Mabel’s reaction, they found the whole situation interesting and cute. Hearing Kaia’s words, they looked at Amon, who nodded, and they followed Kaia to her office with Amon carrying Little Flora in his arms.
...
In a spacious room, Little Flora was sitting on a table, swinging her little feet in the air.
In front of her, Kaia touched her chin while calmly analyzing her.
Sitting down, Kaia let out a long, resigned sigh.
"What a thing..." She murmured softly, looking in Amon’s direction: "You are truly unbelievable. To think you’d achieve something like this... The Goddess of Luck must be smiling at you, that’s the only explanation. Your luck even made me jealous. Seriously..."
"That incredible, huh?" Amon raised an eyebrow at her.
Her words sparked curiosity.
Obviously, she had discovered something related to Little Flora’s existence.
Looking at Amon, Kaia seemed unsure of where to even begin.
She sighed again.
Soon, she created some runes that protected the area around them, creating a sound barrier.
Amon and the girls blinked in confusion but didn’t think too deeply about it, not believing she would want to harm them, but rather, that she had a greater reason for all this.
"Amon." Her beautiful eyes narrowed as her entire vibe shifted to something very serious. When she opened her red-lipsticked lips, she warned: "Never, ever, let others find out anything related to Little Flora’s existence."
"I think it’s a bit late to say that, Grandma," Mabel revealed: "Besides us, there’s the boy who had the seed in his possession. There’s a good chance he knows the true value of the seed, though he probably doesn’t know that Amon was able to awaken it, let alone make it germinate and give rise to Little Flora’s birth."
"... That makes sense. I overlooked that point when I discovered the origin of the little girl’s existence." She gave a self-deprecating smile. Soon, her eyes turned to Amon. Kaia said: "I believe this boy they’re talking about won’t spread anything about the ’seed’ if he’s not a fool. He might even try to negotiate with you or steal it, thinking you don’t know its true value."
Amon nodded in agreement.
Kaia continued: "In any case, if he tries to contact you, play ignorant. Try to make him think he has the upper hand by assuming you don’t know what the seed is for."
"But, Grandma, you still haven’t said why all this alarm," Mabel said.
Looking at her beloved granddaughter, Kaia shifted her gaze to Amon: "This child is nothing less than... a conscious dimension. Amon, you are literally a being with a self-sustaining dimension. In other words, even if you enter a domain that restricts powers, it won’t affect you."
Amon felt as if a bomb had been dropped in his lap and was about to explode.
"That’s not all," Kaia continued: "If your powers and your bond with Little Flora grow, you’ll be able to gain followers who will have benefits similar to yours as long as you allow it. Understand, this is something that even among Overlords is enviable. There may even be Overlords who will willingly submit to you as long as you allow them to be linked to your dimension."
