[AN: 8 will be released this month for reaching the top ten in golden ticket rankings last month! I will begin posting them after I finish Fluff Fluff's Privilege chapters. ]
Hearing his sister so willingly follow someone as soon as the word food was said made Tim feel very worried. But luckily, this would hopefully never happen again. Kana, on the other hand, could understand such a thing. She had almost found herself in the same boat at one point. "Sara, although this time it is okay to agree to such things, but in the future, if a stranger offers you food, do not take it or follow them unless either myself, your new mama, or your brother says it is okay, okay?"
Sara looked up at Kana and then at Tim who nodded his head before nodded her head as well. "Sara will do as you say..."
"Good, then let's have you meet your new Mama and the rest of your new family, okay? But before that, Aruya, can you heal her?" Kana could tell Sara was still in pain.
"Sure!" Aruya walked over and cast a healing spell on Sara, causing all her wounds to disappear and any other ailments she might have had. Once Sara was all healed, Kana opened a portal to the ship and stepped through.

"So that makes us your grandkids?" Tim asked. He was a little confused as to how that could be when Kana looked so young.
Kana could tell what the little boy was thinking and decided to explain. "You can think of me as an ancient soul. I may look young, but this body is actually over one hundred years old. And so is your mother, who looks younger than myself."
Tim was having a hard time believing it, but with how Kana was able to do so many amazing things, he had no choice but to believe it to be so. And he would soon find out that what Kana said was true. "Kana!"
Both Tim and Sara's faces paled when they saw the ghostly figure walking towards them. "Mom! Look, these two will be your great grandson and great granddaughter. This little girl in my arms is Sara, while the little boy backing away is Tim. Tim, Sara, this is your new great grandmother. She is a very caring and loving person, so no need to be scared of her."
"B-B-But she is undead, is she not?" Tim asked, his voice trembling.
"Haha… You ate food from the goddess of death's hands and let her hug you. Why would you be scared of an undead?" Kana chuckled and rubbed Tim's head. "She won't bite, I promise."
"The goddess of what!? Huh!? You mean..." Tim was unable to take all this information in. He was starting to wonder if he did not just bring his sister to a witch's house who would first fatten them up before stuffing them into the oven.
"Mama?" A young girl's voice came from down the hall. She wore a light blue dress and looked like she had been kept hidden from the world, untainted and pure in every way. Bell came running up and quickly spotted the two newcomers and smiled. "And these two are?"
"You said you wanted to adopt kids one day, right?" Kana asked.
"Mmm… I wanted to share the joys of having a parent that will love you even if they were not blood related." Bell replied, but then it hit her. Her eyes grew wide as she looked at the two: "Mama, you don't mean!?"
"I mean just that. These two have no parents and are all alone on the world below. I couldn't just leave them, so I thought maybe you would like to take them in and raise them…. If not, it's fine. I will raise them as your new brother and sister." Even if Bell did not want the task, she would still take the two in and raise them herself. With so many people around, it would not be hard to give the two kids a good life even if she was off ship for a while.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"No! I was just surprised, is all." Bell walked over to Tim, who seemed to be a little guarded, and smiled. "Are you willing to let me be your mother? I promise to never let any harm come to you or let either of you suffer ever again."
Tim looked up at Kana, who nodded her head before he felt his tears well up in his eyes. His sister and himself finally had a home. A place they could live and not have to worry about if they would eat or die every day. He looked into Bell's eyes and nodded his head. "If you are willing to accept my sister and me, then yes, I will become your son, and my sister, you will be your daughter."
Bell almost burst out crying right there, and she pulled Tim into a hug. Kana even put Sara down so she could join in. Her two new grandkids and her daughter were all crying together in a family hug. It was very heartwarming.
Kana walked over to Lysairth and whispered: "Mom can you help Bell along while I am gone. She will probably do well, but just in case she has any questions."
"No problem. But we might want to tell the little ones not to listen to Misaki…. We don't want little Sara running around to the machines yelling 'Let's rub servos!' at the top of her lungs, now do we?" Lysairth could actually see such a thing happening.
"Ahh yes… Let's make sure we do not allow that to ever happen..." Although it would be funny at first, Kana did not want to see little Sara humping some kind of machine because she was following Misaki's example. That would not be good. She could already see Tim freaking out about it. "Alright, then I will be heading back with the rest. The kids will be under Bell's care from now on. My journey on this planet may take some time because there are a few things I want to investigate while I am down there. If there are any issues, Mom, just let me know."
"Mm, I will. Be careful." Lysairth saw Kana off before going over to the new addition to her family to get to know them.
Back on the planet, Kana and the rest appeared where they had first arrived. "Kana, are you planning to investigate that Holy city of Nomia as well as the evil god Tim spoke of?" Aoi asked.
"Yeah, I am curious as to what is really going on. The evil god seems to be far off and is probably my main goal here. But first I want to see what is going on with the other things. The land here is fine, so what is causing the people's crops and animals to die?"
