After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1141

"Big brother Koo, have one too!" Mamu said, looking sweetly at the big guy.

Koo smiled and, after rearranging the goblin babies hanging on his body, took a pinch. "Thank you," he said, goofy as always. The ten-year-old sparkled, obviously liking the big man’s gratitude.

Koo Yu might be a young man, but his mind was still that of a child’s. He got along with the kids very well—except at the same time he was a big adult and could do things they could not, making him extra cool.

The aborigine kids in particular were close with him because they lived in the same area. They looked at him as both a peer and as an older brother. It was definitely a unique dynamic they really liked.

As for how he ended up babysitting triplet goblins, it was kind of a long story.

In Goblin culture, babies were taken care of by a group of nurses at the same time in one place while their parents went to work.

They were literally placed in one room with comfy cushions on the floor, the green dumplings grouped together—either in rows or in cots—and laying/playing there for the entire day.

If they needed something, they’d make a specific sound, and the nurses would know exactly what the babies needed.

From an outsider’s point of view, one would just see a room densely filled with green balls.

Of course, although they looked the same to humans, the goblins had no problem determining which one was theirs. Be it by smell, sound, or some other qualities humans didn’t know anymore, there was no case of baby-switching among the goblins in the entirety of their existence.

This practice of taking care of babies in bulk did not change in Alterra. They cleared out one of the communal rooms in their dormitories to serve this purpose.

If humans were there, they would met at the cute green balls gathered in one room, but sadly no one was there to see that. They could only see the babies when they were taken out individually or with their families.

Today, it happened that a pair of goblins just wanted to take their kids out for a walk—something they learned to be very healthy for children.

They naturally wanted the best for their children and there was also the fact that minorities tended to emulate the prevalent practices more than others, so many goblin families followed this practice to a tee.

Even if the female was heavily pregnant and due to give birth soon...

Anyway, Alterrans loved the sight of babies—no matter what race—so it could be said their ’walk’ was very welcome. People would stop by and look at the strollers, they would chat them up, and they would coo the babies and greet them, promising treats when they grew teeth.

While it was shocking and intimidating at first, the goblins knew the emotions going around were mostly warmth—except for a few aborigines who were still uncomfortable by their freedom—so they adjusted quickly.

This was another one of the reasons why the goblins loved taking the children out occasionally. It made their babies feel… loved.

Anyway, sometime during the walk, they encountered Koo Yu and the kids hanging out.

They exchanged words and the children looked at the goblins curiously, asking questions like ’when do they start to walk?’ or ’how big are their poop?’

These were all genuine inquiries, which the parent goblins answered sincerely (and yes, even the poop question).

Note that these were mostly aboriginal children, yet none of them showed a hint of disgust with them at all. Children were much more honest with their emotions, after all, and the fact that there was no discrimination in the younger generation was very telling of the current education system.

The bigger kids (like Koo) were allowed to hold the babies. They were already several months old, but goblins at this age could actually already walk so they were already strong enough to be carried around by strangers.

Then… the goblin female screamed. Her water broke.

Goblins, once they had treated a place as home and its inhabitants as trustworthy, they could get careless and trusting—to a fault.

"Please take care of my babies! I will find you later!" The male goblin yelled, carrying his yelling wife and running to the hospital, disappearing before Koo could even answer him.

"..."

And so was the current scene. _{fгeewebnovёl.com}
