After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1215

The next day was a very big day for Alterra. After all, it was finally the Kids' 1st birthday party!!

Although not everyone could be invited in the party itself, a lot of people held some on their own, much like how fans celebrated their idols' birthdays in their own way.

For instance, the Munchkins and the Spices had grouped to create a big party to be held in the park. They even had their own trivia games like 'Who knows Meatball better?' and 'Which dress would Pepper like best?'

When Althea found out about this, she commissioned hundreds of cupcakes with the babies' colors to send to them. There were a lot of 'All Hail Miss Althea' in between wishing the kids their happy first birthdays.

The main party, on the other hand, was held in the Grand Hall of the hotel. The food was served buffet style and there was a stage in front for a few kids' shows. The people invited were family and friends, and their families.

After so many months, the number of children had increased and a couple of babies had been born. This was a really, really, good sign, and Althea pushed for more programs to encourage it.

This way, within the next ten years, they would have lots of children running around all throughout the territory. Ah, what a happy sight.

Anyway, the party was scheduled for dinner, and the events planner (hired by Ansel) was flurrying about making sure everything was perfect. This was the first big kids' party in the territory, after all. If the parents attending liked it, then she'd have more clients!

Also, she was a bit of a Munchkin-Spice herself!

Anyway, while the venue was being prepared, the villa was also lively as the celebrants and the family were getting prepared for it.

Sadly, it wasn't as smooth as they wanted because the kids just kept running everywhere.

Since they started walking, the trouble the kids caused naturally wasn't small. They were eager to explore the surrounding world, eager to get there on their own, eager to reach whatever they could reach.

This was especially true for Meatball who just couldn't stay still at all!

It just got worse when they were finally allowed the eat chocolate! They were testing it out before the party and allowed the babies to try out a bite after they looked so pitiful watching the adults moan while eating them.

Oh, how they regretted it now!

"Oi! Meatball! COME BACK HERE!" Ansel yelled, watching the kid run about the villa with boundless energy. His feet were so tiny—smaller than his palm—how could he run so fast!?

Little Pepper also liked to explore a lot but fortunately, her pace was much more controlled, particularly because she was the more 'exploratory' baby. The baby girl would sprint around, but would stop to look at various things.

She would stare at it for a while as if studying and assessing it, which was adorable especially when she puffed her chubby cheeks when she was dissatisfied with what she saw. She would as well touch various things, calling them either 'pwetty' or 'ugwy'. There weren't a lot of ugwy things in the house, but she was quite frank when outside.

Fortunately, she was adorable, so no one got offended even if she was splurting insults all over the place. Rather, when people knew she was exploring that day, some people would even dress up for the occasion.

There were even big men wearing those frilly blouses over their shirts. When they shake around, the movement of the blouse usually got the princess giggle.

The baby girl really, really, liked her frills.

Anyway, after much struggle (i.e. using food as bait) the two kids finally settled down enough so they could get dressed for their party. There were a few adults working together to dress them up quickly (lest they run away again), all while they were munching on their snacks.

The trouble was worth it of course, because the two kids were just so cute!
