After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1124

Heading back to the Gaea Villa, the couple were excited to have a nice long bath. In Garan’s case, a bath together would be ideal.

It was just that when they entered the house, they were greeted by two little buns running right straight to them.

"Mwama!" her daughter yelled, so adorable with her hair bunned at both sides.

Her rambunctious son also stopped playing with his toy car, running to her too, but he was much louder and because he was chubbier than Pepper his steps were louder.

"Mwamaaaa!"

Then they saw their father right behind her and they brightened even more. "Dadaaaa!!!"

Althea could only stay still as they once again grabbed her ankles. She was a bit dirty, but they ought to take a bath too before sleeping anyway.

She giggled as she lifted them up, smooching their soft faces. Garan smiled and kissed everyone too, feeling incredibly warm in his heart.

She realized they were dirtier than expected though. Some dust and a bit of blood were smudged on the babies’ clothes.

"Oh, dear…" she said, a bit embarrassed. "Let’s take a swim together, ne?"

This naturally excited the babies who love swimming. "Swim! Swim!"

She laughed, hugging her two babies to the bathroom. They all took a rinsing shower before heading to the tub and—with her husband’s very strained help—they all got cleaned together. After half-an-hour of ’swimming’, the parents readied themselves and the babies for bed.

Garan fortunately moved on from his plans tonight, knowing the kids would not let go of their mother. His face showed a bit of disappointment though.

Althea laughed as she saw this. She whispered something to the two babies and she held them up to his face, and the babies stretched their little arms and wrapped them around his face, giving him baby smooches all over.

Garan’s face softened and he held up the babies, taking them to sleep himself.

She giggled and joined in, readying to sleep with the babies spooned between them. It didn’t take long, and the four of them fell into a well-deserved slumber.

…

After about a day of rest, another meeting among Elders was initiated. This was to give more time for those who dealt with the clean-up, especially Mathilda and Garan (who woke up after three hours of sleeping), to rest properly.

A lot of interesting things also happened during this time.

First of all, as expected, a lot of the more powerful non-slaves had tried to escape. After all, they were not bound by the system to stay, and the best time to do so was during the trial.

The administration was busy with the thousands of other captured enemies at this time, and the rules were still null and— at the time— would end within a few hours. This was why they had to rush to make a move.
