Lens looked at the artwork but rather it looks more like a mess since there were erasures " Iris go wash your hands you already painted everywhere on the walls " " Okay " Iris ran to the hose Lens used to water the plants .
" So what happened when you left home you came back very quickly " Iris froze realizing she didn't have a story to tell " Uhm I came back home since I want to paint " Lens chuckled at her childish excuse " Okay I hope you like coming home to do that "
He looked at his watch " Oh it's lunch already wanna help dad cook ? " " No " " Okay , what do you want to eat ? " " NOOO I want to cook " " Really ? " " Yes I was reading books and I can cook now "
' Hmm , I mean it is fine to see what they can cook ' " Then what do you want to cook ? " Iris thought for a moment and realize she had no idea what to cook " I'll wait when brothers and sisters are back we want to cook together "
" Okay then I'll prepare all the ingredients I have " Lens went inside the house and used his bracelet ' Let's see I will put basic ingredients in the line first this way and then the rest are special ingredients suitable for ingredient consumption '
He went back to his office and started to use all of the bases he created all over worlds and selected those tested to be safe for human consuption . Some strange flowers , roots , bugs or anything that may look disgusting in his order is actually something edible to a human body .
' Now with all of this they can cook without any special preparations "
Meanwhile , the several bases connected to Lens's base were wondering why they had to sell their food to the tyrant who had an alliance to protect them from any disaster and asked for an unreasonable amount of payment barely enough to prevent them from enjoying any luxury .
...
Meanwhile , the rest of them returned to the joint base and used the portals while Circe and Cael bought the boy with them who was rejuvenated because he reached the end of the time loop ' I can't believe I failed to extend the time loop and ended up pushing the start even further back '
He regretted the mistake but thank goodness Circe caught him and saved him from the troubles of childhood by also tempting him into the stories Lens has by giving a trailer without spoilers ' As long as I guard as I stay with them I can earn some time and watch those series '
He saw the procedure and was very amazed by it ' I feel like being in those sci-fi movies he was very intrigued with all the procedures ' I can't believe dad has a time loop function inside I was going to ask Circe to make it look like a coincidence but know we can just tell dad that the computer helps us instead of a carefully structured plan . '
Tsune continued being impressed as he saw the inside of the base but wondered what the drawings on the wall were ' hmm those siblings do look the same age so maybe they were allowed outside by their dad they praised a lot '
Tsune looked around wondering what kind of inventions he have not seen and saw robots scrubbing the walls and filling up the water tanks and cleaning the filters " Wow " Lens looked at the eight cars that came in and eight children rushing to Lens " Dad "
' This feels like them greeting me at breakfast ' " Hello did you have fun ? " " We did " " Me and Circe found him " Cael pointed at Tsune who was looking with stars in his eyes at the robots " You made a friend how though ? "
" The computer said it found a time loop critical point " Circe said " Really good thing you left with him huh ? " " The computer also said that he is the one stuck " ' Hmm good thing the functions can do that '
" Okay then you two will come with me I need to check if something happened to you two " Cael and Circe felt panic for the first time in both lives and followed Lens to the lab " You seven kids can play with him "
Lens opened the door to the lab and then put the loop box on a pedestal where it started to float in each of the six sides a circle was made to keep turning hovering parallel to the cube's surfaces " It's okay you two just have to stand inside and I'll check if there are any temporal problems that happened "
They both step inside the circular platform and a circle of light drops around them giving Lens a scan " Hm good thing you don't have any problems , okay you can join your siblings Iris wanted to cook so you should hurry on " Lens picked up the two of them and put them outside the door " Have fun "
Once Lens closed the door they both breathe a sigh of relief " I think we managed to get away with this " Cael concealed his modification by bending space to redirect the scan elsewhere and then made a frown at Circe " How'd you do it ? " " Knowledge " " Why didn't you help me ? " " You handled it well didn't you ? "
" Alright , What did dad say about Iris ? " " she wants to cook " Cael looked at Circe with a frown again " Tsk looks like a competition " they both put on serious faces as Cael teleported and Circe started to run .
They can all tell since they were kids they have been competing whether it was just arts and crafts , bathing the quickest or eating the fastest so of course , Circe can already hear the sounds of chopping , fire burning and water stirring .
When she entered the kitchen she saw separate kitchens set up by Lens since he thought they might need space .
Nexus was using all the experience his other egos have such as using the knife to mince the meat and chop the vegetables and feeling the temperature . Iris used light to dry some vegetables to make stock and threw chunks of marinated meat into the soup .
Minerva was using telekinesis for lesser manual labor and pyrokinesis to make cooking much easier . Zori was carefully kneading the dough afraid he might reduce it to nothing and then beat down meat instead of mincing it .
Zero poured lots of heavy cream , condensed milk and his favorite flavor avocado together getting a creamy mix and froze it making sure he doesn't fall anywhere close to absolute zero .
Circe on the other hand took many spices and trembled while she sprinkled them into a bowl getting the leftover chunks of meat and vegetables from Crow who chopped with a knife made from darkness .
Primis was popping vegetables from nowhere chopping them as quickly as possible making eggs and mixing the tiny bits of the vegetable with the eggs to make omelet . Crow just stirred the meat and vegetables together and Cael couldn't use his two-dimensional blades or he might cut through atoms which would not end well considering what kind of things might escape from the insides of the atoms .
Cael was cooking like normal by chopping big portions out of a giant tuna .
But the real show was Tsune who approximately has endless years of experience in his time-looped world . He can complete every college degree and made countless scientific breakthroughs . He sounds like Circe only with lesser knowledge but more experience in the basic fields .
He was making food by using wine and igniting it to cook the food and was even cooking more than just a dish he chopped the food in the air like Nexus minced the meat with a meat grinder cracked as many eggs with one hand and was taking the most familiar ingredients out of the storage .
All that little man was thinking is what else he can cook with so many ingredients and with the last dish ' Hmm leftovers I can use '
Tsune grabbed all the vegetable and fruit scraps the excess that was unwanted like apple , potato , carrot , ginger , onion and all of the citrus genus fruit skins , the stem of broccoli , corn cob , banana peel , tea bags he used to make milk tea , the roots of spring onions , leak and etc .
He also grabbed others scraps like bones with meat stuck to it , crustaceans shells including the head , eggshells , and meat innards . He got all the meat and organs and turned them into paste and cooking them in all ways to make sure that the taste was right ' This one is good '
He threw the rest of the scraps into separate pots and took two spoons to continuously taste the liquid then used spices to get the right taste on one and then the other one he paid attention to the viscosity of the sauce but also the taste .
' Last step throw these meatballs into the soup let it boil and then fry the rest and put the pot in this special machine that preserved it like freezing time ' Tsune was very amazed by the machine's usefulness he can run this 24/7 he can pull the dishes out and so he put the sauce pot inside the giant machine with all the other dishes and fried the meatballs and boiled the rest .
Lens looked at the dining room and saw the inputted dishes that were going to be made so he made it bigger and when the nine kids came they each had the dishes with them ' I think I know who the winner is if there was a competition '
And then some carts were pushed out of the kitchen and then the dishes were piled up the nine looked at Tsune with widened eyes as he presented the meatballs " I'm done too " ' He cooked an entire banquet of food '
" Come on eat already " Lens said and the nine sat on their chairs as they ate the food they cooked which would have been very tasty but they had a sense of defeat coming from Tsune ' It's okay we bought him to protect dad even if it's a little the very least he can control time loops if there was any '
' Who's this " Minerva asked Circe ' The bodyguard we wanted " ' At least Cael got us one but what can he do ? " ' He knows how to fight in any life or death situation " Minerva looked at Tsune at the coffee machine and took the cup that he made .
" Pffffwwee Bittar " Tsune went to grab the milk from the fridge and washed the taste but it wasn't enough so he found some sugarcane juice and drank it " Kid you're young right now so avoid drinking coffee it will be bad for your taste buds and sleep schedule "
Lens got some ice cream from the fridge and gave it to him and the nine looked at Lens " No you can eat after you finish lunch " " Dad what are we having for lunch ? " creak Amara asked as she walked down from her lab beside her room .
" Come and see ... wait " Lens made the stairs with different materials for each step but overall they are still able to carry them . But there was a wood that could fix itself through memory but the step was easy to skip like all of them .
' Did she overeat again ? ' Amara got down showing her fattened body and the nine were shocked but Tsune was just curious like asking "why she fat ?" " Hello I ate a lot at my little galaxy " Lens lightly sighed and Circe observed his weak sigh and thought this occasion might connect to times when Amara disappeared on her own .
She's right since Amara sometimes travels to her little galaxy to eat a ton of food and would hide for less than a day which is thanks to her unique metabolism that will burn her fats away but that takes time which would be lessened if she lessened her movements to sleep to boost the speed .
" Okay so for the rest of the day you're having a liquid diet only " " Can I drink soup though ? " " Only fruits and vegetables " " Okay " Amara flopped on the couch and the nine kids were staring at her with surprise .
' Isn't she human ? ' Primis knew of creations that have similar traits but she knew humans aren't capable of that ' What kind of program did she come from ? '
The others were also thinking about why she was like that but Lens was not planning to explain . Tsune at the table was thinking of something else as if he didn't find Amara's look any different since he has never seen her before .
" Uhm mister what do you mean by liquid diet ? " Tsune had a curiosity of the liquid diet and thought of it as a diet mainly out of liquids from simply water to a soup " It's a diet of only water , juice and soup something that helps eat body fat so they can get thinner and very effective to get rid of wrinkles . "
Tsune was always curious since he has been trapped in a time loop and had been learning all he can . Of course , something unique will trigger his thirst for knowledge " Can I learn it ? " " Okay kid but do you have a home to return to ? "
" No I was an orphan " " Okay welcome to the family , Kids meet your new brother " ' oyoyoy Circe Cael since when did we say to bring another sibling ? " ' Shut up Nexus we didn't care about his background only his ability and we didn't expect dad to adopt him "
' Kid must be really lonely ' Lens patted the shocked three-year-old " It's okay since Circe and Cael bought you here I need to take care of you since you don't have a home to return to you can stay here as your new home "
' Well this place does feel nice ' " Okay , thank you " Lens smiles and patted him again " Okay now for your room you can just sleep with the nine of them you are 3 years old right now so it's fine to be with them "
Lens walked out of the living room and then the nine were cautious about Tsune ' So instead of a guard you bought a time bomb on us ? " Zori asked at the telepathy network constructed by Minerva .
' Be quiet Zori " Iris eyed Tsune and continued ' He can read expressions and try to multitask while talking through telepathy " ' My new siblings are weird they are already making weird faces '
There's nothing weird going on it's just that Tsune was too perceptive of their expressions that he thinks it was weird ' Maybe a few tricks can get them ' " Hey hey brothers look " Tsune got an apple and skillfully carved a statue that looked exactly like Amara in less than a second .
" Wow " they were not exactly too impressed but were impressed and Tsune wasn't too ashamed since he knew that they may have technology that can copy him so he continued more tricks like balancing a lot of glasses on his fingertip .
Amara was too fat to turn herself around to see what they were doing but assumed that a show was going on behind her from the wows and sounds ' I wonder what they are doing ? ' Tsune also kept carving the fruits and eating them until he was full and couldn't cut them anymore .
Lens was at the bedroom and widened the space so he can add another bed ' Does Tsune know about their past life I remember only seeing his name but right now it feels intruding if I looked into his past I already did it but I can't excuse myself '
Lens suddenly heard Tsune playing with the plates making music out of clanks wine glasses and water ' oh well he is hard working no need to let him stress him plus he may be good at a lot of things but I can still do him better '
Lens arranged placed the bed with the help of a robot and then thinks of how to arrange the shelves so Tsune can put his things on the shelves ' Hmm he doesn't have stuff so should I let him do some shopping at the microverses I have ? '
He has many sources of entertainment one of them is collecting microverses to enter so he can grab civilization's products of fun mostly called , stories , movies , shows and etc .
' Maybe shopping would be good , I can leave the house to Amara even though she is fat but they would enjoy learning ... wait maybe not back then they were always curious about everything any answer I say they always asked another but now they already so capable '
Lens's mood decreased at the thought that his kids suddenly getting older ' So this is how it feels when you're child is independent ' he sighed and wondered how he was going to deal with the problem .
' Maybe it's time I go out with them haven't done that in a while ' he heard a knock at the door " Come in it's your bedroom you know " Minerva entered the room and stared at Lens " Dad why is big sis so big ? "
Lens's mood raised as he pulled Minerva to her bed to give her an answer " Okay so Amara had her body modified before I found her and part of the modification was to give her the ability to store energy but that went wonky and she ended up storing energy in her body fats so the more she ate the more she stored and it kept piling up like blowing air in a balloon but the balloon doesn't pop "
" So she's gonna stay that big ? " " No she can let some air out but that takes a long time her body might get warm like really warm so she might go to a hot tub "
As for the rest , they tried to rhyme with Tsune but he was the one leading the entire orchestra of amateurs so whatever clank they made did not disturb his rhythm . Even Circe couldn't match him having knowledge isn't the important thing about music but rather creativity and experience .
' They're strange for three-year-olds ' Amara was trying to sleep but did not ask them to stop since she didn't need any sleep after all she sleep a healthy ten to nine hours every day waking up with a long timed stretch .
' My new little brother is so energetic ' she smiles and thinks of speeding up her metabolism so her body gets smaller quicker ' But it will take a while maybe I can go to sleep first but dad told me I should drink so water too '
Amara struggles to get up so she can grab a big container full of water " Got it " she whispered to herself and sat on the couch as she continuously drank the water taking breaks to catch breaks .
Yes , even drinking is like a sport you can't just continuously stuff your mouth with so much food and water you gotta take some time to chew and swallow it and breathe so you don't die from lack of air . People back then died of starvation and know someone is gonna do the opposite how stupid is that .
Amara wished she had some other drinks and walks to the fridge to see if there were any . She found some food and drooled but resisted the urge to eat and found a giant juice box of apple juice .
" Apple juice " she took it away while the eight were still distracted with Tsune's own musical ' I really want to play with them but I'm too fat ' Amara regretted having stuffed herself since she thought nothing interesting would happen today so she went to a random yet popular restaurant and beaten their challenge at the surprise of the owner .
' But the steak was very delicious ' she imagined the steak in her head while drinking the apple juice as the taste distorted a little thanks to the apple juice .
...
" And so which is why they tested Amara for that trait any question ? " Lens asked and Minerva was so confused ' I can't believe they did that kind of experiment for that kind of ability ' " No " Minerva left the room and Lens went back to work .
' Still , we don't even know the threat how are we gonna handle something we don't even know about ' Minerva looked at Iris knowing she came here earlier and tap her for a warning ' Iris when you were coming home did you see anything strange ? "
' Oh right we did go out to take care of the big problem , yes but I took care of it at least one thing " ' Where did you take care of it ? " ' In some military city " ' While I was talking to dad I found out that , that city was the same city he said that a giant monster was eaten by light I hope you have something to do with that "
Iris thinks and nods ' Yes I did and for the record , I didn't know it was dad's city " ' Even so he said he took the portal that monster came out , dad might be too close to the threat " ' I really hate this it feels like that game we played at Amara's phone "
' Are you talking about the decision-making game ? " Minerva asked feeling as if she is getting closer ' Yeah why ? " ' Good talking to you " Minerva got Circe and dragged her ' Circe I need your help "
' Just come with me it will be worth our time " Minerva also got Cael , Nexus and Crow leaving Primis , Iris , Zero and Zori to be entertained by Tsune " Hey " Crow asked them ' Be quiet " Minerva pulled them to the garden and pulled her phone .
" Are you calling us to watch you play ? " " Funny , no " she opened a game and showed it to them " Cause and effect the game we liked to play " " Yes I want you to do something like this to predict the outcome " Circe slapped her head .
" Minerva making that kind of thing is not easy you know the possible results are like a blank paper and every decision we make forces the pen to stroke in a certain direction , it's like Crow trying to draw without his eyes "
" I'm here you know " Crow announced to Circe " I know but Minerva you can't just make that so easily we don't have any real-world testing materials and looking into the future isn't even that effective "
" Then why'd you call us for ? " Nexus asked pointing at his two brothers " Maybe so we can use your data collection to help Circe " " Even if you want that do you have any idea how much info they need to gather and the accuracy of it ? It is already difficult to do that "
" Hey what if you use the loop box ? " the two girls turned to Cael and thought about the additional artifact . The loop box basically traps someone or something in a loop . If they can't get out they are lost forever .
But that is not the only thing that the loop box can do . Since it reverses time to a set point the trapped person can redo another scenario " Holy ancestors of all creations you're right " Circe said and quickly concluded her plan .
" I can make this thing to predict the outcomes but I need the loop box the most " Circe told Minerva " Then we'll have to get it for you then " Minerva nodded and enlisted who to help them .
...
Lens was not in the security room but just left the bedroom feeling satisfied to welcome his new kid to the three-year-olds' bedroom ' I can't wait but I need to open some things . he might want instruments to play if he can make that much music from food utensils ... though I might be pushing him too hard should I put up options instead '
Lens went to the living room and flopped on the couch as he watched the three-year-olds play and Amara sleeping ' Hmm ' Lens went to Amara's bedroom and got a blanket and covered Amara looking at the potato skin blanket .
' Couch potato ' he stifled a laugh looking at it and snapped a picture naming it "Couch Potato" ' I'm going to print this out ' he went to his office and found the five kids outside on the way " Hello what are you doing out here ? "
They turned to look at Lens and then looked at each other trying to push one of them to say something " We wanted to walk ? " " Clever , But kids it's not yet three so you can walk around just not here at this hour . Okay ? "
" Okay dad " they said and rushed inside the house ' Wonder what kind of talk they were doing ' he went to the office and looked at the cameras " Nah I'll just not do it kids need privacy " a small crack in space was revealed to follow Lens and closed as Cael sighed .
' Looks like we have some privacy " he told Minerva ' Okay but how will we steal the Loop box ? " ' Figure it out with Cael and Crow , they can grab things without being noticed " Nexus answered ' yeah but what should we use to replace the Loop box dad makes random checks "
' Maybe he won't notice " Crow said ' As if he wouldn't " Circe replied and they walked to the living room to see a note on the table "Kids I'm going to buy some groceries I'll be sure to buy you ice cream back but take care of yourself and your new brother . There is some sweet tea in the fridge mix it with any milk for yourself. I'll be leaving in a while"
' Isn't this the perfect time to grab it ? " ' Wait dad said he will leave in a while " Cael instantly ran to the lab since they knew that that is where Lens does his shopping " DAD !? wait " Cael ran to the lab and they were all wondering what he was planning to do .
' Probably something he wants dad to buy he should be hesitating to use his powers " Minerva turned to Nexus and immediately called Cael ' Cael don't you dare use teleport to get to dad ! "
' I KNOW ! That's why I am running as fast as I can " Cael complained and pushed the office door only to see a note "If you are reading this it means I am at the supermarket take care" Cael dropped to his knees as he felt defeat so heavy like this ' My Koocies ' he thought of the Koocies flying to heaven saying "goodbye" to him .
And the door behind him opened as Circe and Nexus went past Cael " Is it okay to just leave him be ? " Circe asked Nexus " Yeah also we have to behave well so dad has no reason to check the cameras " " You're right so let's admit our crimes as soon as possible " but in Nexus's now peaceful mind he thought of his goal .
' I can finally find who has been eating my Mac and cheese ' " Okay do you know what is the color combination of the door ? " Circe asked Nexus " Dad wiped it clean you know ? " Nexus used a UV flashlight showing a clean surface " Try red blue green yellow " Circe suggested " Why ? " Circe pointed at the train that was on Lens's desk .
" Escape room ? " " Yeah " Nexus pushed the buttons and heard some elevator open " Cael wanna come with us ? " Cael looked at the elevator and followed " What floor should it be ? " " Maybe this one " Nexus looked at the touch screen on the wall and chose the floor after reading the description .
" This says treasure room " Circe looked at the elevator suspiciously " Why ? " " Because dad puts his treasure inside ? " Nexus answered and went out of the elevator to see holograms of the artifacts Lens bought .
" Maybe we need to get a password to get the real thing ? " Circe looked at the holograms and at a keyboard in front of her " Cael can you use your powers to let me phase through this block ? "
" Okay , what are you looking for ? " Cael asked with a sad tone " How about using the hologram here as a reference " Cael looked through space through his dimension eyes and found the box .
" It's over here but dad put some sort of barrier in here so you might want to hurry up " " It's okay five minutes is all I need and you can drag me back " Circe dived into the space and started to analyze the loop box like it was a book passively reading everything .
...
Circe , Minerva and Nexus were inside a room right after their battle to kill time before the mural was ready to grant their wishes " So Circe how did you learn to study something " Minerva asked .
" It's like reading and knowing the concept of addition , I am just able to learn how to read in a language which will cause you to passively read everything within the language so if I see words I can read I am forced to read them "
" Interesting my knowledge and experience are just drilled too deep into me for me to even forget my mind is getting way too powerful any mind eater I encounter is unable to even crack me like I'm a diamond being chewed by clouds " " I just feel grateful none of my alter Egos are in me it's been very quiet since I borrowed your technologies "
" I'm surprised you're able to keep all those chatterboxes with you and not have a headache " Circe acknowledged Nexus's ability to cope with his alter egos' presence and annoyance " I myself am being forced by myself to compute too many calculations " Circe looked at the table they were putting their papers on .
" I can already tell the measurements , area and perimeter of this circle in the table . And because I caught glimpse of the thickness of the table I use a formula originating from a highly intelligent and resourceful civilization who use their telescope to calculate the diameter of their moon and star and used it to find the thickness and thus allowing me to calculate surface area and volume . "
" Sounds annoying " Minerva said " Yeah even when I look at you I have the data of your abilities stuck in my head as I try to calculate your true potential from your expressions but Nexus was too hard to understand " " I am uncertain whether I should be happy or confused "
" You speak in different kinds of dialect , language , tone to be quick you speak differently nearly every time " " Maybe I am not paying attention to that since it feels regular to me but you should be right . I even have thought of all possible scenarios thanks to my alter Egos having ideas pushed into me " " We all have it hard don't we " Minerva said .
" At least you can count once and know you're right or wrong " Circe pointed out
