Planet Master 183- Recovery (2)

When everyone dropped off the Ferris wheel, it was already sunset.

“Everyone, now that we have tried every single thing in the amusent park, you all should be quite hungry and thirsty. Let’s go to the food court and enjoy so food and beverages.” Charlene led the way.

After a long day of trying each ride, it was ti for them to replenish their stamina and fill their bellies. After all, the parents and most children were just low-realm transcendent so they still need sustenance like food.

Bore also realized the issue, although he was actually a higher-realm transcendent, so he did not feel much hunger or thirst.

‘I am still inconsiderate.’ Bore thought to himself. He felt ashad not to consider his parents' feelings and condition.

Then they entered the food court. Tatsumi was attracted to so of the food available there, A was attracted to one drink and Charlene kept leading the group. The parents directed their child to so of the food being cooked, trying it together.

The scene was peaceful since Tatsumi and A reminded them to be respectful and queue up properly.

After so ti, everyone at least enjoyed so of the food there. Snacks were also being tried, as it could at least stuff sothing into their hungry stomach.

Then, after that, so of the parents tried nurous beverages. Especially impactful was the feeling of drinking carbonated drinks. The tingling sensation in their mouth as they drank it beca an unforgettable thing in their mind.

Because they could not even afford it normally, they beca slightly addicted.

“Please don’t drink the carbonated drink so much.” Charlene advised.

“Oh, right. We drink so much of it. Looks like we overdid it.” One parent realized that they burped so much due to drinking so many carbonated drinks.

“Well, rest for a while. Then try this.” Tatsumi held up so snack foods and then let the group try them.

The evening scene was beautiful with lights that lit up the entire amusent park. The food court was also properly lit, so everyone could see what food and beverages were being offered.

The parents and the children then tried so more snacks while Tatsumi, A and Charlene also tried them blissfully. Everyone in the group was happy and fulfilled.

After that, it was ti to go ho, back to the facility.

“Now that we have filled our stomachs after the nurous rides, it is ti to go back. Everyone, please gather up together.” Charlene said.

Tatsumi circled up the group, making sure that they were in one place while also trying to make the group huddle up together.

He also used his ntal scan to make sure that everyone was there.

Then he went to the back of the group while A and Charlene went to the front.

Slowly, after confirming that everyone was in the group, they went to the parking lot and got into the bus. Tatsumi beca the last to enter and the door was then closed.

“Everyone’s here.” Tatsumi said and nodded.

“If you all feel sleepy, you can sleep for a while. Sit down on your seat.” A said through the mic.

The parents were not sleepy but the children who had been rehabilitated were getting used to sleeping when they needed it. So a few of them slept while sitting.

Seeing this, everyone lowered their voice for the sleeping children.

This went on until they arrived at the facility.

-

For a few days after that, the group of parents and children was brought to nurous places in Giol City. They were introduced to nurous small industries around while also letting the children try to help.

“This reminds of my youth.” Tatsumi said.

He still rembered that he was tasked with delivering the newspaper for the people of Giol City to get the news. Now, that place had been inherited by the owner’s child.

“Hmm, big brother.” A child suddenly went to Tatsumi.

“What’s wrong?” Tatsumi asked and kneeled.

“How did you do that?” the child pointed toward Tatsumi’s empty bag.

Although the newspaper was clearly outdated, but the industry was still available for locals. In the era where information spread faster through the internet and social dia, the presence of newspapers would surely feel strange.

But in Giol City, the newspaper industry was still ongoing for centuries. Now one child asked for tips to be able to sell the newspaper well.

“Well, make your potential buyer interested first. Make sure they need the newspaper. Either for reading or just for being a filler for sothing, at least they will buy it.” Tatsumi gave the child so tips.

“Eh? Is that how it works?” the child wondered whether that was true.

“It is not wrong, though. We still need a newspaper since we don’t have much money for wireless fidelity internet.” The parents of the child said while patting the child's head.

“Is that so?”

Tatsumi handled many children’s curiosity toward the newspaper. He even had to teach them the language of the international language to read the newspaper. Then he taught them so things about the content of the newspaper.

A and Charlene just watched but made sure that everyone was working toward completing the task at hand. They smiled at the sight, reminding them of Tatsumi in his younger days.

Then they also visited the museum, where there were historical artifacts as well as monunts that showed the progress of the civilization of the Cerulean Planet.

“Big sister, why is it that this stone spear appears here?” one child asked Charlene.

“Well, that is because this is the first proper weapon that the ancestors of humans have used. The stone is sharpened enough to penetrate and pierce the flesh of the smaller beast.” Charlene explained in a way that they could understand.

“Oh…so cool.” Another child comnted. They looked at the artifacts that were stored in the glass boxes, each with its own explanation.

“Why did the humans create monunts? And there are so sort of symbols there.” There was one Elf child who asked.

“Because so things need to be written in proper form to be understood and communicated. This is the earliest form of writing system in human history.” Tatsumi smiled and explained.

‘Ah, this reminds of the past.’ Kudungga comnted.

‘Sir, I am in the middle of explaining to children.’ Tatsumi said in his mind, a bit annoyed.

‘Explain it to them then. I will just reminisce as you see and move.’ Kudungga gave a solution.

‘Fine. Just don’t interrupt.’ Tatsumi gave up and let Kudungga do as he pleased.

Then Tatsumi, A and Charlene had to explain every part of the relics that were available in the museum. This also served as the parents and children to learn about the Cerulean Planet’s human developnt from their early days to the present day.

“Hmm, but this is the first ti I have seen them so spirited.” Charlene said to Tatsumi who was standing beside her.

“Yeah. Because they learned our history and struggle in the early days. They feel like it is similar to them.” Tatsumi replied.

Whatever the case, the history of any civilization began with the gathering of many people and the discovery of sothing that could be used for the community.

Seeing the children’s eyes go shining and their faces brighten at the sight of another civilization ant that they started to see so sort of resemblance to their own civilization.

After that, they also went to the section of the Star Battle where important things were affected by it. Seeing that the humans fought in one Star Battle after another, the parents and the children realized that the difficulty of the humans’ Star Battles was unbelievably great.

If the Yul Municipality’s difficulty was the standard, then the Hinon Federation’s difficulty was on abyssal difficulty, the greatest difficulty.

“So due to this, the Federation could be so strong.” Bore, who was slightly more knowledgeable, realized this too.

“Nah, more like the transcendent path we took is a bit unique.” Tatsumi interjected, shaking his head.

“What do you an?” Bore asked.

“I an, the discovery of transcendent at the Second Star Battle was actually unexpected. The humans who could utilize the undead elent are said to have the Necromancer’s Trait in them.” Tatsumi said.

“And my teacher is one of them.” Tatsumi added.

Hearing that caused both parents and children to be astonished. They did not expect that the renowned transcendent would have such a connection.

“Wait a mont. Does that an the na of your teacher is Long Wu? I heard that his disciple is already the strongest transcendent in the Federation.” Bore raised his finger and shouted.

“Haha, you found out.” Tatsumi chuckled and nodded.

“It is not a big deal. My teacher is really one of the strongest transcendent so don’t underestimate him just because he is not often ntioned. By the way, how did you know about that information?” Tatsumi added before asking.

“Oh, it is because so of the people I know ntioned the Zenollium Incident.” Bore said with a wry smile.

Tatsumi also felt slightly awkward knowing that the entire planet fell under the effect of the undead elent.

“Ahem. Sorry about that. Let’s just not ntion it since it involved a lot of tragedies.” Tatsumi decided not to speak about the incident now. Of course, he would explain it later on but for these children on rehabilitation and recovery, it was necessary to form a good ntal frawork.

“I am not saying that we should not discuss it but just not now.” Tatsumi said.

During the section on the Star Battle, the parents and the children were srized by the struggle of each side. Since the Federation wanted to be objective, the history from both sides were preserved as much as possible, gaining so much information on the past of both the human civilization and their forr enemies.

Tatsumi was interested in the First and Second Star Battle since that was the ti when he had not been born. Charlene was interested in the First Star Battle due to its effect on the future generations while A was more interested in the Second Star Battle because of the first appearance of the first transcendent.

The parents and children were interested in all the available section since they could learn their forr enemy’s history. Bore was also looking for the intense Star Battle against the Gling and the Elves, the rfolk, etc.

‘Either their technology surpassed the enemy or their transcendent path surpassed the enemy; how enviable.' Bore could understand the language after two years of being influenced by the surrounding people. That was why he could read the written text.

The other children also were like that. Often, they needed to translate to their parents about it since the parents barely understood the language of the Federation.

After they exited the Star Battle section…

“Hey, did you see that? The battle between the humans and the undead is so intense that the humans had to turn the corpses into ashes. And the dwarves also helped with the developnt of the portable flathrower.” One child said to his friend.

“Oh, but I like the Third Star Battle more. The struggle of fighting against the Gling and the Elves is real. Even with the advantage of the undead elent, the Federation still struggled to fight in the early days. Only when it developed sufficiently that the Gling beca cornered.” Another child chid in.

“Everyone can have their favorite mont. But one thing is for sure: this is a tragedy for both sides.” A said through the mic, which was connected to the device, to the parents' and children’s ears.

“Why is that?” Bore asked even though he had a hunch for the reason. He asked for the sake of the fellow peer.

“Because both sides suffered casualties. That caused grief and anger which in turn started the vicious cycle of hate.” Charlene replied with a slightly sad tone.

“Sister Charlene is right, everyone. That is the primary reason why we should work together to reach the peak and learn the truth of our reality.” A added.

“Oh.” The children knew so things about their world but to be taught the reality of things was still difficult for them. Fortunately, Charlene realized this and only said one necessary sentence. As for the rest, the children had to understand on their own.

Then everyone returned to the facility to undergo health check-ups.

As each day passed with them being treated like children, their recovery was also proceeding smoothly. Then they were taught slightly complicated things like physics and chemistry.

“Alright, that is all.” Tatsumi concluded the teaching as a teacher. He sighed in relief as the children he taught were able to absorb the knowledge points quite well.

“Teacher, I have a question.” Bore raised his hand passionately.

“What is it?” Tatsumi glanced at Bore and knew what he wanted to ask.

“Transcendent energy, what is its nature?” he asked.

“Depending on their nature, we have developed several understandings of it according to their attribute. If the attribute is nurturing life and promoting standard life forms in their vitality, it is Ether. If it is corroding standard life form while bolstering undead, it belongs to the undead elent. These two are the highest form of transcendent energy since they were the most abundant and the most used.” Tatsumi explained.

He explained in a way that could be understood by the children.

“Then there are other kinds of transcendent energy?”

“Of course. This is just our latest discoveries. Perhaps in the future, there will be more kinds of transcendent energy.” Tatsumi said.

“If there is no question, class is dismissed.”

-

In the Library of Consciousness.

“Oh, yes. They ntioned !” Chi You said spiritedly.

“But it also ntions .” Goto said while pointing toward the history book.

“Everyone important is ntioned. But as you know, the supporting people are often not ntioned there.” Kudungga said with a lancholic tone.

Then Tatsumi and A appeared.

“Hello, there. Talking about the latest information?” Tatsumi was the first to open the conversation.

“Of course. Talking objectively, you did a good job.” Goto praised Tatsumi.

“But he still needs to be observed for what he said.” A reminded.

“That's true.” The three forefathers agreed on one point.

“Hmph.” Tatsumi snorted but he let them decide. After all, he almost blurted out sothing that the children were not supposed to hear yet. It was because he was so passionate about teaching.

“Maybe you are right in supervising . I can be imrsed in the teaching that I may say sothing I should not say yet.” Tatsumi sighed and looked at the people surrounding him.

“Good for you, then. Patience is key.” Chi You smugly look at Tatsumi suffering from almost overexplaining things.

“Don’t be so smug, old man. You learn it the hard way.” Tatsumi retorted quickly.

“Okay, you all have sothing to nd.” A interjected between the two. If not, then this would go on and on.

“Fine.” Tatsumi obeyed.

“…” Chi You did not say anything, just staring at Tatsumi.

“First of all, congratulations on being able to teach those children.” Kudungga said.

“Nah, it is the most enjoyable thing I have had in centuries.” Tatsumi truthfully said.

“Just like what my husband said, it was enjoyable.” A supported Tatsumi’s claim.

Then they started talking about the situation across the entire civilization.

“So about the situation on the two new planets that the Father God has placed, it is already stabilized in its orbit.” Kudungga inford.

“Oh, I thought it would take a bit longer. Well, good news for the locals then. They can finally connect to the internet soon.” Tatsumi said.

“Not so easy. The relocation process has to be done too.” A reminded.

“Right, there are parents and children too.” Tatsumi almost forgot since he was already familiar with them and considered them part of the community.

“They will stay in the Cerulean Planet for a while but not forever. They also have their own ho in Rodentia and Solont.” A explained.

Tatsumi went silent. He knew that was a fact. But being together with the children felt like when he was in the orphanage in his younger days.

He had to let them go one day.

“By the way, there is so improvent on the theory of mory formation due to the mory implant technology.” Goto shifted the topic to the latest developnt of the technology side.

“That’s amazing, give the information!” Tatsumi then extended his hand and the hands of both Goto and Tatsumi grabbed each other.

Information flowed into Tatsumi’s mind. He learned through Goto what it ant to learn sothing new.

“So after a year and a half, the technology for this is finally available.” Tatsumi wondered at the knowledge and he felt that there was a need to restrict this.

mory implant could be used for therapy but it could also be used for military like the Yul Municipality did. The restriction was the license for formal use of the mory implant.

Actually, Charlene started to do that as soon as possible. Right before he went to sleep, she was in the process of doing that. Only after arriving at the Afterlife did he realize that the implentation had already been done.

“Fortunately, the restriction is reasonable. Only a formal license should be able to use it. Although there would be so illegal use, at least this would make people aware of the formal use of the technology called mory implant.” Tatsumi put his hand on his chin.

“Yes. So things should be put to proper use. And the punishnt for misuse should be enough for them not to even try.” A considered things from another side. Even without being connected, she could tell about the things shared between the Nafs.

Then they went on to talk about the current overall situation of the civilization.
