After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 712

At this time, the aforementioned ’target’ was trying to figure out what abilities her children had.

After all, they showed it in front of Winona already, which not only showed they were not imagining things, but there was also the fact that the children could show it to anyone, anywhere.

There was the option of just hiding them inside the house until they figured things out, but how could they bear to do that to the kids, really?

So, the past few days, they had been trying to test things out little by little. For example, Ansel would place some cute hanging toy on the ceiling, teasingly throwing Meatball up and down.

There was no floating that occurred though. They only got the baby boy’s endless giggles instead.

Ansel would also ’imprison’ Pepper’s favorite stuffed toys in an inverted crib, making it seem like Pepper had to find a way to rescue them. "Don’t you want to save them, Baby Pepper?" He would ask, putting his face close to the little girl while acting distraught about the ’kidnapped’ toy.

It earned him a slap, instead.

Every day, there’d be something, though it’d just end in someone’s embarrassment instead.

They had been taking their time though, making sure not to make the babies uncomfortable at all. However, now with the arrival of obviously hostile forces, they needed to expedite things.

Work hours had just ended and pretty much everyone in the team was in the living area. Winona was there as well, though she made a point of sitting the farthest from Ansel.

It was just that the farthest was still in the man’s line of sight, making him sneer at her. He even said something like ’If you really want to ignore me, then get out of my sight’.

Winona raised her chin and looked arrogantly at him. "Why? Can’t keep your eyes off me?"

Ansel’s eyes twitched. "DREAM!"

Their spat apparently amused the little babies as they started making fun gurgling sounds as the two reluctant-lovebirds fought.

This immediately dissipated the mix of annoyance and shyness between the two and they turned their heads to the cute babies to distract themselves.

The twins were adorable as always with their large eyes and chubby cheeks. Now when they open their mouths, one or two little teeth were showing.

Ahhhhh! Too cute, too cute.

Winona went over to poke their cheeks. "Go, do your stuff already babies! Show off!" She really wanted others to see it for themselves.

It was only when both Althea and Garan said they had seen the abilities, that everyone else believed Winona wasn’t hallucinating.

Winona was quite offended when she realized this. Did she seem like the type to create drama without reason!? Sheesh.

So now she had made it her mission to see it again, but with other people as witnesses.

In fact, she and Ansel had turned it into a competition, though obviously to no success for either one of them.

It was just that it was never observed again. Since the 50th Day of Migration, the two children had only exhibited their powers twice each.

"Maybe it’s a glitch?" Ansel asked, making Winona roll her eyes.

"You think we’re still a game? Stop being childish."

Ansel sneered. "Heh, says the girl who made a scene."

"You—"

"So you’re playing lover’s quarrel now, I see," Althea said, making the two glare at her with flushed faces.

"NO, WE’RE NOT!"

But then Garan’s deep blue eyes shifted to look at them—daring them to raise their voices at Althea again—making them flinch. They simultaneously froze, and suddenly became very well-behaved.

Althea shook her head and looked at the children. "What did these two cases have in common?"

It was Eugene, the analyst, who spoke first. "Little Meatball’s first known show of power was during the 50th day party. It was a happy event with everyone cheering for their names."

Winona supplemented, "The second one is your return from the war."

"Happy events then, one that included him?"

"Perhaps," Harold said, very curious. "What about Little Pepper, then?"

"First one was when she was playing with Maya and the others, suddenly appearing next to us."

"Next was also when we returned from the war."

"So, to summarize, the babies might exhibit their powers during moments of high emotions, whether it was happiness or excitement," Althea said and the others nodded in agreement.

The group thought deep and hard, trying to think of ways to mimic those conditions. "Let me try," Ansel said and went ahead to lift the little bun.

"Hweeee~" He yelled as he threw Meatball up, over and over. It wasn’t that Ansel didn’t try it before, but this time it was with the goal of just making the kid excited and gleeful.

The baby boy giggled, obviously liking it.

Everyone just smiled, hearts warmed by the adorable innocent laughter from the child.

He threw him up again, "Fly, already! Hweee~" _{freewēbnoveℓ.com}

"Googomwamwah~"
