>>5209443Alright, let's get your siblings and head out." you say, raising your hand to your forehead and focus on Karn Jr's ki. You teleport to him and seeing Megumin holding both of your youngest kids gently see that she could make a good mother for his children. You just reach out, place a hand on her shoulder, and teleport the four of you back into the chamber. As you reappear, Meloka walks up and takes both Karn Jr and Okira from her.
“Thank you Megumin.” your wife says, and you see for a split second Megumin doesn't want to let them go. But then she's over that moment, blinking a couple times and shaking her head.
“Y-You're welcome. Anytime.” she says, Chilli walking over to her and the two start whispering between them.
“Alright everyone, follow me.” you say, and start walking towards the door. “Today we're going somewhere different for lunch.”
“Oh?” Meloka asks, curious. “You have somewhere in mind?”
“I know a place.” you say, walking outside the gravity chamber then over to the ramp, heading back outside. “Come on, we're heading back into the city.”
You then lift up into the air once everyone's outside, and lead your family back into the city. You fly over the buildings, and after a few minutes looking spot the familiar, unseeming building and touch down outside it. But as your family all land around you, Caulifla speaks up.
“Wait, I know what this is.” your daughter says, looking from the door to you and back. “Isn't this-?”
“Yes, it is.” you reply, opening the door and starting down the staircase. Your family all follow you down, and as you reach the second door it opens on it's own into the basement eatery. The dark room's atmosphere feels comforting, you all walking over and taking the familiar round table. Meloka sits to your left, Caulifla sitting to your right, with Megumin to her right. Chilli is sitting to her right, then the twins between him and Meloka. As you all sit down, a younger woman only a couple years older than Chaya walks up, a board in her hand.
“Afternoon, General Karn. Caulifla.” she says to you with a professional smile, then your daughter before turning back to you. “What'll it be?”
“Give me what my old man would've ordered.” you tell her, and turn to the rest of the table. “What about you all?”
“Me too.” Caulifla says, surprisingly intense. “I want the same thing.”
“And us.” Tatsu and Tomi say in sync. All of your kids order what Tatsu would have eaten, Megumin ordering something about a fifth of what anyone else ordered, and she walks off. Then the table is suddenly quiet, nobody talking.
