After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 198

Althea, on the other hand, was used to him acting like a baby. So she just laughed in amusement instead.

She looked at him, face morphing to one of seriousness. Ansel leaned over to listen well.

"What I can’t see are the specialties and occupations the people had back in Terran. For this, I rely on the registration system."

Ansel nodded. And then? What about what you can see? He asked with his eyes.

Althea’s lips held back a smile. "We can see the basic information like level, occupation, elements, wealth, and…" She paused mysteriously. "Even loyalty."

He gasped. "What! What an intrusive system!!"

"That’s what I thought as well, but it’s been very helpful to me so far so I have no complaints."

"Do note that there are still limitations," she told him, "From what the NPCs said, Loyalty values cannot display a negative value, so you can’t use it to determine someone aiming to do harm."

Ansel was still simmering that so much of him was bare for those two jerks to see.

"TSK. No wonder I felt creepy when those two stared at me!" Then he paused and looked at her like the sycophant he could be. "Of course, this doesn’t apply to you, my kind beautiful sister."

It was here that they heard a bit of mumbling from the children’s side as if alerted by Ansel’s noise. They saw one of the babies had rolled out of the mat.

Meatball really did his nickname justice.

Althea then stood up to take the baby boy, who was babbling with drool all over his face.

She gently rocked Little Meatball in her arms, cleaning up his slobbered face with a clean cloth.

"Ggoogrgurgleggg…" he mumbled seeming to thank her for her service. She couldn’t help but giggle at his cuteness.

"Silly baby," she said, leaning down to give him a huge peck on his chubby cheeks.

He giggled adorably in response.

Little Pepper saw this and she extended her chubby arms to her direction. Ansel saw her hands full and took the baby instead.

It was just that Little Pepper being Little Pepper, she refused to behave in the arms of a strange dude. (Garan would be so proud).

"Mwammwah!"

Althea smiled but didn’t take her, wanting her to be closer to her relatives. "Aww, baby…" she said and her heart broke when the little girl’s eyes lined with tears. "This is your uncle Ansel. He is family." She said, kissing the girl on the cheek.

"Don’t cry, okay?"

Ansel looked at the interaction with a smile, deciding to be proactive and gently lulling the baby girl.

She didn’t look very comfortable at first, but she soon adjusted as she saw her mother nod with a smile as she behaved.

Althea grinned warmly as she saw Little Pepper finally snuggle into her uncle’s warmth. "You should talk to her." She told him, "They don’t understand what we’re talking about, but hearing our voice gives them a sense of security."

"Oh?" He asked, then turned to the baby girl and lifted her in front of him. "So, little princess, what do you want to talk about?"

The baby stared, seemingly pursing her lips, before she began to babble nonsensical syllables.

"Hey, I wonder what she said…"
