The discussion lasted about 30 minutes. Ars generously answered every question Byakuya and the others asked.
He also performed magic in front of them as proof of the legitimacy of his story.
Byakuya, Lillian, Shamil, Yakov, Darya, and Connie feel that their world view that has been built so far is crumbling right now.
"This is unbelievable..."
Holding his head, Shamil felt a headache.
"Another world really exists, if the researchers at NASA find out about this, they will be very happy." Connie felt her heart race.
"Humanity has long been looking for and researching the existence of life other than on earth, but we meet one of them when humans have petrified. Fate seems to be toying with humanity." Daria took a deep breath.
"If only humans didn't petrify..." Yakov also felt the sadness his wife was feeling.
Ars didn't care about what they thought and wasted water on his head.
"Well, Ars. Since you have so many abilities, can you free humans from petrification?"
Unlike his friends, who have complicated minds, Byakuya thinks very simply. Could the being beyond human logic in front of him be able to restore humanity?
"That's right, if you are so strong, please help humanity, I beg you." Connie looked at Ars with pitiful eyes.
"Is it possible?" Shamil asked.
The others stared at Ars and hoped for a positive answer.
Unfortunately, they have to accept the bitter truth.
"I have tried, but I failed. None of my magic is effective at canceling petrification."
Ars' answer left the astronauts disappointed, but no one blamed him.
"So that's it, forget it. Rather than that, let's continue the banquet."
Byakuya held his head up high and acted ridiculous.
The previous sad mood disappeared like a puff of smoke in the wind.
"Byakuya is right, there's no point in being sad. What if I sing a song? Maybe this is the first and last time we can meet Ars."
Lillian got up from the chair and stood in front of everyone.
"Ohhhh! I haven't heard Lillian sing in a long time! Isn't that right, Shamil?"
"Don't pretend to be drunk, uncle. It's just coconut water and not alcohol."
Shamil was embarrassed to see a middle aged man acting like a child.
"Maybe you don't know, but Lillian is the most famous singer in this world." Connie explained to Ars.
"Interesting, I haven't listened to a song in a long time." Ars said with great interest.
"Ahem, this song is called One Small Step."
Lillian cleared her throat, calming her thoughts, then began to sing.
"No where to turn."
"No where to hide."
"Between a rock and a hard place."
"Someone to find."
"I know that times are tough, just down and out."
"Putting my faith in tomorrow."
"I'm ready to go but I don't know where to start."
"Each and every road seems to be calling me."
"Pulled in every which way, so I made my own path."
"A deep breath and my best foot forward."
"One small step from zero."
"I'm not afraid."
"Cuz the world that we want is right here for us to make."
"Just taking one small step to hero."
"I'll take the chance."
"And when I do."
"I'll be thinking of the same thing I always do It's always you."
Even though Lillian sings without musical accompaniment, it doesn't affect Ars, who is mesmerized by her melodious voice.
For the first time in 200 years of not hearing a song, he heard the best song sung by the best singer.
Ars felt a long forgotten feeling start to emerge, which was pleasure!
*👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻*
After Lillian finished singing, Ars and the audience present applauded.
Lillian slightly lifted the hem of her skirt and returned to the chair.
"How about it, Ars? Lillian's singing is great, right? I bet you've never heard anyone sing like her."
"Uncle, why are you talking as if you are the one singing."
"Don't sweat the small details too much, Shamil. I just want our guests to know how talented Lillian is."
"Hmph."
Shamil turned his face to the side, he was too lazy to argue with Byakuya.
On the other hand, Lillian was very happy to hear Byakuya's praise.
"En, that's the best music in the 200 years I've lived. In reward, take this."
Ars recovered his composure again, then took out various foods such as rice, vegetable oil, sugar, salt, etc.
The room was immediately filled with various kinds of basic needs.
The appearance of all the items surprised everyone present, except for Ars who was the culprit.
"Wuah, there's a lot of rice! With this, we can plant rice!"
Byakuya pinched his thigh to make sure this wasn't all a dream.
"Is this one of your magics?"
Shamil checked the food and found that it all had letters from different countries.
"Maybe my request is a bit presumptuous, but do you have baby milk?" Darya ventured to ask.
"Ah, my wife is pregnant. To raise a baby, it takes a lot of nutrients so that it can grow healthily. If you have I beg you to give you some, I will do anything."
Yakov stood in front of Ars and was willing to throw away his pride for his child.
"Yakov, Darya..." Connie felt touched by Yakov's action.
"I also beg, for the sake of the continuation of the human race, that you provide your assistance."
Bending his back in front of Ars, Byakuya called for help.
This place was a remote island, so it wasn't hard to get food sources for them. But it will be different for babies and children, they need suitable food sources for their growth. Moreover, there were only six humans left, and every descendant that was born was extremely precious, they couldn't afford to lose a single person.
Shamil, Lillian, and Connie begged too, they knew how beneficial it would be to have Ars's help.
Just one song Lillian claims has given them several months' supply of food if they're thrifty.
"Alright, our meeting was also destiny. I may not be able to restore humanity from petrification, but I can provide you with resources."
Idaten is the protector of mankind from extinction caused by outsiders, because Ars has met the remaining humans, it is his duty to help them survive.
Then, he took thousands of milk boxes for babies stored in [Storage Magic]. The room was no longer fit to hold anything, so he moved to another room and kept dispensing powdered milk.
"It's enough?"
Ars turned around, saw everyone's flabbergasted expressions, and asked casually.
"E-Enough! This is more than enough. Thank you very much, Ars! With all of this, humanity can continue to evolve!"
Byakuya hugged Lillian beside him subconsciously.
"Thank you very much, you saved us... No, you saved humanity's survival."
Wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, Yakov hugged his wife, Darya.
Shamil and Connie glanced at each other shyly.
"That's good, I'll stay here temporarily, is that okay?"
Ars wanted to see their progress.
"Of course you may, in fact you are very welcome, Ars." Byakuya smiled broadly.
