( Kronton City - After the Pillar's meeting. )
Strolling through the Lab, being pulled by Kro and lovingly hugged from behind by a happily humming Fauna, Mumei sighs and starts to consider other things that will soon be brought up.
Eyeing Kronii who was assigned to take them back to Universe 7 later her bright yellow eyes gain a tint of curiosity about what would happen to a certain Shark student she had taken as hers to train up.
Blowing a sigh, the Owl scratches her cheek, holding a relieved look that didn't go unnoticed by those around her.
' She can use Super Saiyan at a somewhat willful level, but since we're gonna revive her whole gang, in a few years their whole storyline should be better than how Trunks' own had ended up…
Considering that he was a lone survivor and then Zamasu did his whole shenanigans with the Zero Mortals bullshit, at least Gura's situation is better since both Zamasus and probably any others were already dealt with by Bae and OA, ehehe…
Toootally not my fault for giving them the info back then, nevaaah~'
Not finding much to worry about for now and just holding a burst of silent laughter, she just leaves the Blue Sandwich lover sister of Kro to take them whatever they had to go.
Soon they returned to the bedroom where she had left Ina and the other two troublemakers resting.
* Ussh * - Opening the sliding door, they don't waste time before entering it, just to be met by the scene of all three young ones sitting by one bed in a circle, seemingly playing on Ame's smartphone.
Amelia was trying her best to teach Ina how to play, but even if the small excited Tako bore stars for eyes at the cool new tool and strange-looking game, she was still losing most of the time before even reaching a Score of one.
This led to both Gura and Amelia taking it as a new challenge: teaching this girl how to get to at least two points! Respectively, Gura had reached a good two hundred when her turn arrived, while Ame's high score was four hundred.
If they hadn't been losing concentration or succumbing to the anxiety of possibly losing, they would have hit even higher scores with their current reaction speeds.
Their surprise came when Ina's turn finally arrived, which after losing at zero a few times had both other girls just sweating and saying that it was fine, she could play again! Since Ina hadn't even reached one point, both had agreed it was fine for her to take her time.
That was…. Until Ina failed the tenth time before even reaching one point, the times she came close to it her spectators practically started jumping off the bed, just for the Tako to fail yet again at a good rounded, zero points.
As for what was the game that had brought such strong emotions?
It was a classic, Flappy Bird. But instead of a bird, it was a chibi ShenLong trying to go through the map that in this version was a Snake Way-like obstacle course.
Cheering the small one once more, they soon came to a stop upon hearing the door sliding open, all of them turned their heads to look at the Adults entering the room one after the other.
As the leading one, Kronii seeing Ame already up and healthy, sighed relieved, the action caught the blonde off guard for a moment before a feeling of guilt took over for a moment.
What followed was Mumei's eyes going over her two disciples and forcing out a complicated smile as if she was saying they really were a bunch of troublemakers, even Ina who did give her a hard time while transformed in her Conceptual Void state.
" Y'all really havin' a good time here, huh? " - Sarcastically stating, Muun walked closer to the bunch to see what they were playing. Just by a mere glance, she had already understood what the game was supposed to be.
Stars shining in her iris, the Owl's inner child sprung forth as she also took a seat and asked Ina for the smartphone, nodding the Tako gave it but not before taking a seat in Mumei's lap to have a five-star first-row view at how good her new mom would be at it.
The two teens not frankly knowing how to react chose to just crawl to one of the brown head's shoulders to watch her play, although what they should have expected was that games that required quick reflexes were nothing to someone who could causally move hundreds of times above light speeds.
And so the long play-through of the Flappy Bird-copy alike started, leaving the others who also entered the room to just stare in awe at how the bird had blended so well with the young ones.
Hearing the cheering from an excited little Ina, Kro motioned towards Kronii if she wanted anything to drink. Upon her sister accepting the offer, the taller bluehead smugly made an okay signal and left for a quick trip toward the kitchen.
Kronii seeing this would take a bit longer also sat by a couch on the side before snapping her fingers and spawning in a small eruption of blue light a bunch of reports and a pair of glasses that fell neatly on her face.
She was quick to get started at reading and writing on the new documents she got, they varied in content so she had a LOT to go through.
Feeling that she was being left behind, Fauna pouted as she began jokingly stomping her foot on the ground before walking towards the cheerful group sitting by a bed.
In a small hop, she was now lying down on Mumei's and Ina's lap, looking up at Ina's large blue eyes that were confused at first before a large goofy smile was all that filled Fauna's vision.
Like a canon ball hitting an unstable bridge Fauna's heart was struck hard as she felt a strange feeling to squish that round face, and on doing so all she gained was an even bigger smile before the child got her eyes back into the game the Owl was playing.
The Gamer herself reaching the six hundred mark and not even batting an eye, just holding a shit-eating grin witnessing Gura biting her lower lip, and Ame almost screeching out some inhumane sounds.
The sound of tapping and squeaking jumping-like sounds from the game filled the room as well as the ever sound of paper rustling coming from the Warden's side.
After two minutes Kro returned to their room having brought a thermal bottle of tea and another full of Choco, which she found by coincidence when looking for the tea leaves.
Setting both on the small table by Kronii's side, she left it there for her older sister to drink whenever she felt like it. Turning around, she went on and also sat by Mumei's side to get a glimpse to see what was all the fuss.
Catching that the girl had already reached nine hundred and kept going strong, it wasn't really that impressive as their perspective was absurd on various levels.
The dragon was nothing more than a blur for them at this point, this game was made by someone in Kronton city that was something Kro was sure of… There was no way a normal human could even reach one point in this…
For all these kids it seemed like Muun had grown a second head.
' Depending on what type of head, it would be a welcome addition to my book. ' - ….. Kro's thoughts were on a different….uhm… Scope. Considering the wholesome environment we found ourselves in…
