As for Tabitha, she was hidden between the spatial layers of the Cerulean Planet. Tatsumi actually wanted to surprise his orphanage family members with her, but his parents' introduction became a priority so she became the second surprise.
‘Tabitha, you are here, aren’t you?’ Tatsumi used his mental link to connect to Tabitha.
‘I am here. You want a double surprise, it seems.’ Tabitha seemed to understand Tatsumi’s thought and plan.
‘If I bombard them with surprise one after another, I bet their happiness would double. Double the fun, double the joy.’ Tatsumi chuckled internally.
Then Tatsumi and his family were accompanied by Chen Fei to enter the main living room, where there were several people waiting already.
“Hello, everyone.” Tatsumi said cheerfully.
“Oh, it’s you. It has been a while, huh.”
“Please come here. You are our pride and joy.”
The children of the orphanage had become someone who was successful in their career. Of course, Tatsumi was the most successful since he became the strongest transcendent of the civilization.
But the others who were looking at Tatsumi one moment were surprised to see an additional two people in his family.
Sure, they had known Nene, Ame and Charlene for a long time, even Tetsuya, Rihana and Ivana. But to see two additional people in Tatsumi’s family meant that this would be a surprise to them.
“Oh, everyone’s here.” Coming out from the kitchen was naturally Hua Fei. When she gazed at the others who were already successful but did not have a family of their own, she sighed.
But when she glanced at Tatsumi and his family, she became brighter before she caught two additional people she did not recognize.
“Ah, Sister Hua Fei. Do you want to know the two behind me?” Tatsumi said while gesturing to Yasuhiro and Tachibana.
“Who are they? Someone important to you?” Hua Fei guessed.
Tatsumi nodded before letting the two step forward and introduce themselves.
“Thank you so much for taking care of our children.” Yasuhiro said with a respectful tone and attitude.
“Wait, are you actually Tatsumi and Nene’s biological parents?” Hua Fei was shocked by this revelation.
Then she glanced at Nene, who was shyly nodding at her.
“I am pleased to meet you. To think that you raised them to be this bright and knowledgeable, we are truly grateful.” Tachibana added.
“No, the pleasure is mine. Come in, let’s enjoy the annual family meeting for the Nine Suns orphanage.” Hua Fei then offered them to blend in with the others.
The others who had heard that became stunned before looking at Tatsumi and Nene with envy. They also wanted to see their biological parents but they had received news that their biological parents were already deceased from Tatsumi.
That was why Tatsumi often informed them of what their biological parents wanted from them and after hearing that, they ended up crying.
But they also felt happy for him. There must be a reason why he only introduced his biological parents now of all times.
Yasuhiro and Tachibana then greeted everyone and noticed that they were respectful toward them.
But the two felt that they did not deserve that kind of attitude. After all, they were forced to leave their children due to circumstances.
“Oh, Sister Hua Fei, where is Granma?” Nene asked first thing with curiosity.
Tatsumi wanted to ask the same thing but was overtaken by Nene.
“Granma is in her room, preparing for this.” Hua Fei said with a slight smile, remembering how enthusiastic Feng Mo had become.
Then Chen Fei went to the front door since he received news that another guest would be coming. Chen Fei, of course, knew who the guest was.
While the others talked to Yasuhiro and Tachibana, asking about their experience that led them to this moment, they said that they would explain in details when there was time. But for now, they could only say that their hidden injuries were being slowly healed, and only now were they fully recovered.
Tatsumi was chuckling since the attention of the others was on his biological parents.
Then Ame and Charlene also blended in and spoke about related things about Yasuhiro and Tachibana.
Only Nene was still by Tatsumi's side.
Then Chen Fei came in with Miyamoto Mamoru. Although he was a bit older now with additional white hair on his head but his demeanor and appearance suggested that he was only in his middle-aged period.
Everyone here was a transcendent of at least the Core Formation Realm so they could live an additional five hundred years.
And only more than two hundred and sixty years had passed so they were naturally in the middle-aged period. But if they were able to reach the Revolutionary Realm, then their lifespan would increase to thousands of years.
‘Ugh, it is hard to hold back this power.’ Tatsumi felt that he needed to be careful even breathing in and out. Otherwise, the entire surface of the planet would be destroyed by him alone.
‘Is there any way for us to be able to relax?’ Tatsumi asked Tabitha.
‘I have reinforced the local space but it is recommended that you keep your energy inside your body.’ Tabitha suggested.
‘Hmm, what are you talking about?’
‘You use mental link with Tabitha for something. What is it?’
When Ame and Charlene even joined in on the mental link, Tatsumi inwardly facepalmed. But then he replied.
‘Remember that we have become so much stronger that the Cerulean Planet felt suffocating for us since we can’t move freely with our transcendent energy? That is the issue. We have become so much stronger that the entire planet felt fragile in front of us.’ Tatsumi commented.
‘Reinforcing the space is one way for you to be able to relax but the effect for the weaker transcendent will be quite taxing. Fortunately, everyone here is at the Core Formation Realm and above.’ Tabitha added while looking at the entire premises.
‘Thank you for being so considerate.’ Ame inwardly said.
‘This is what I should naturally do. As for higher-level transcendent, they have their own method of restraining themselves.' Tabitha commented.
With this, Tatsumi, Ame and Charlene could slightly relax. They tried it right away and found out that indeed, their aura would not immediately crack the ground anymore.
Tatsumi sighed with relief at the sight.
“I understand. That part of history is really gloomy and dark.” Miyamoto Mamoru commented after hearing the story of Yasuhiro and Tachibana explaining their experience.
He was naturally familiar with the children as well as Hua Fei and especially Feng Mo.
Then Tatsumi sensed someone slowly approaching him and Nene. But the two of them let her be since Feng Mo, their grandma wanted to surprise them.
With a soft pat on the shoulder, Tatsumi and Nene turned around and looked at the elderly woman in front of them.
She looked to be in her middle-aged phase, although her age was much older. Feng Mo smiled at them and said, “You have arrived. What are you doing not joining with the others?”
“Granma. We are waiting for you.” Nene said enthusiastically.
“Yes. You are the one we are waiting for.” Tatsumi added.
Then the two escorted Feng Mo to the seat where the people had prepared for her.
“And what is with the two?” Feng Mo smiled at the people while asking about the presence of Yasuhiro and Tachibana.
“Granma, they are Tatsumi and Nene’s biological parents. They are facing some difficulties at the time…” the people explained the circumstances so Feng Mo could understand.
Of course, Feng Mo understood it better than anyone here; she was experiencing it herself.
“Now that you are here, what are you going to do?” Hua Fei asked.
“Well, we have some souvenirs for you all.” Yasuhiro said while grabbing his bag of holding. From the spatial bag, there were so many herbs and animal meats that were preserved and were now being shown to the entire orphanage.
“Quick, it has been enchanted so it will be preserved but store it in the best place.” One of the people then moved to quickly store them in the special storage and the others soon followed.
Hua Fei then helped them to store those into the special storage which was already designed to store transcendent materials.
“Please receive them as a way to thank you for taking care of our children.” Yasuhiro then knelt in front of Feng Mo. Tachibana also followed suit.
Tatsumi and Nene were looking at this but could not bear to intervene. They knew that their parents felt truly indebted to Hua Fei and Feng Mo for taking care of them and raising them to be proper human beings.
“Please don’t kneel any longer. The fact that you admit your mistake was already a huge step toward a good family.” Feng Mo then raised both of them since she disliked seeing people kneeling at her.
“We cannot become good parents since we really abandoned our children. But for the rest of our lives, we will devote ourselves to watching over them.” Tachibana said with a melancholic tone.
“Everyone, welcome to the annual meeting. Please be calm and comfort yourself like this is your home.” Feng Mo said this out loud. Miyamoto Mamoru was sitting beside her on her left while also glancing at everyone.
“Then perhaps everyone should introduce themselves first.” Feng Mo was being so considerate to do this since there were newcomers.
One by one, the people started to introduce themselves, what they were doing right now as well as their hobbies and a bit of their outlook.
“I am Chen Fei.” Chen Fei said specifically to Yasuhiro and Tachibana.
Of course they knew who Chen Fei was. He was quite a famous ambassador for the Hinon Federation, but they let him introduce himself properly.
“My job right now is to be an ambassador to the new family members from the Rodents and the Crustaceans. I am often brought by their diplomat to talk about the situation of their races.”
Hearing the people introduce themselves made Yasuhiro and Tachibana know more about who they were.
‘Granma, do you know why I propose to introduce everyone?’ Tatsumi used mental link to communicate with Feng Mo.
‘I think it is because you have someone else you want to introduce. Isn’t that right?’ Feng Mo said so with certainty in her tone.
‘As expected, I can’t hide it from you. Yes. There is someone that my family knows but refrains from saying it since the revelation would be quite surprising.’ Tatsumi commented.
Tatsumi was sitting on Feng Mo’s right side while watching the people introduce themselves by standing up and returning to sit down after they conveyed their overall situation.
Then it was Tatsumi’s turn. He stood up along with his family.
“Alright, time to show you guys something good.” Tatsumi said as an introduction. The people smiled at him while also jokingly saying that he would become someone with the blessings to remain the strongest transcendent.
He then introduced himself along with his family members. Of course, everyone knew who they were, but was slightly surprised by their progress. Especially when Charlene said that she had recently developed something that would change the way information was transferred.
From that alone, the people there knew that the information was precious, so they remained silent about it. They would not spread it to others because they respected Charlene.
After that, Yasuhiro and Tachibana introduced themselves and their recent activity.
Although the people had heard of it, seeing the two recount it made them touched to their cores.
After the two finished with their short stories, Tatsumi coughed up and his body language suggested that he had something more to say.
“As you know, I have been gone for a week. During that time, I inadvertently met someone from another civilization. In short, the civilization is just like the Father God and us; they have a deity of their own. But the relationship between their deity and the Father God is one of cooperation.” Tatsumi began by saying this.
Then he continued, “Well, she is present at this moment. She listens as we talk and introduce ourselves. Do you want her to introduce herself at this moment? Because she is also one of my family members.”
“What!?”
“You have hidden from us one of your newest family members.”
The people stared at Tatsumi. Even Chen Fei was shocked and looked at Tatsumi and his family who had stood up.
“Please, calm down.” Ame stated, which caused the people to hold their breath.
“She is here after all. Although she is not presenting her presence, but she is undoubtedly here.” Charlene added.
“Yes. Everyone should be calm and collected to greet her, okay.” Nene even said this to everyone which caused them to sigh out of helplessness.
“Please introduce us.” Everyone else politely said this.
Tatsumi then nodded before he glanced at one side of the living room.
The others followed his gaze and found nothing in the position he stared at. They wanted to frown but then the air and the space there seemed to be distorted by something.
Next, a figure slowly appeared from the feet up to the head, slowly but surely. The figure was covered in a veil, and the figure’s blue robe was covering her body. Then the people looked up and saw a pair of clear blue eyes staring at them. Although her face was blurry due to some effect, they could see her eyes and her lower face making a slight smile at them.
“Nice to see and meet you guys.” Tabitha said with an elated tone.
“She is covered by a veil. I feel something scary about her.” Miyamoto Mamoru was excellent at recognizing potential threat and his instinct told him that Tabitha was a dangerous entity but he could not do anything since she was not hostile.
“Your experience and instinct are strong enough.” Tabitha looked at Miyamoto Mamoru and nodded in acknowledgement.
“I come from another active civilization. My task here is to safeguard your civilization. My name is Tabitha.” Tabitha curtsied slightly as she introduced herself.
“Please tell us your part of the story.” Chen Fei asked while glancing at Tatsumi and had a knowing smile.
“With pleasure.” Tabitha nodded and began her part of the story.
She was actually the greatest prodigy from her race in her civilization. After realizing that there was a race as human, her race started to emulate them, and their current form was the result of that.
Then Tabitha began telling the orphanage people that she was sent by her deity to assist another race from another deity.
The orphanage people realized that the other deity mentioned was their own Father God.
Tatsumi’s story corroborated her claims, which meant that she was telling the truth.
Then she added how the humans could end something that even the other races could not. Tabitha told this with renewed hope, and the listeners felt that their spirits were lightened.
“Wow, you omitted that part.” Chen Fei went to Tatsumi and lightly punched him in the chest.
“That is not important to you. But in the future, I can say for certain that our civilization and the human race will have to face them.” Tatsumi replied with an exasperated face.
“In any case, she is now here because her deity and the Father God have given permission for her.” Charlene informed them about the agreement.
“Really? Father God personally agreed to this!?” Everyone was shocked to hear that.
Although the influence of the Father God Congregation did not spread much but the belief in the Father God was something that the old and the young often heard about. Whether to believe Him or not was up to the individual.
In any case, that did not affect the Father God in the slightest and the Father God did not will to force someone to believe him.
“Yes. He is permitting me to be able to be here. But my role here is more of the last resort helper and observer.” Tabitha said.
“Tatsumi said that you are one of his family members. What does that mean specifically?” one asked.
Tabitha then opened her mouth.
“He is allowing me to stay by his side. I have fallen in love, I think.” Tabitha let out a bashful expression that even the others could read.
As for her statement, everyone looked at Tabitha, then at Tatsumi, back and forth.
“What? Are you going to complain or something?” Tatsumi asked while tilting his head.
“No, just why does it have to be you!?”
“You already have two beautiful flowers on your side and now you add one?”
Tatsumi coughed and that stopped the talk for a while.
“Well, they have given their consent.” Tatsumi glanced at Ame and Charlene.
The two nodded while Nene suppressed her happiness. Tetsuya and Rihana were looking at Tabitha seriously now, while Yasuhiro and Tachibana looked happy and jovial.
“Wha-“The others could not process this in a short while. Their minds went blank as they looked at Ame and Charlene; the two’s expressions were ones of contentment and happiness.
“If that is the case, I can understand why you accepted her.” Chen Fei let out a relieved sigh; he was tense the moment Tabitha said she had fallen in love with Tatsumi.
Then Feng Mo gestured to Tabitha to get closer to everyone. Everyone was enthusiastic with her, introducing themselves once again since this became a formal introduction.
“Can you help in a Star Battle?” Hua Fei was the first one to ask after a flurry of comments given by either the people of the Orphanage or Tabitha.
“Sadly, no. That intervention will cause the causality and karma to make a backlash to me. I am the last resort for your race in case something big is happening that will cause your extinction. Other than that, I will not help.” Tabitha shook her head. She remembered how Tritis had ordered her to only help in the case that humanity and its subordinate races were facing extinction.
Meaning, she could not help them under normal circumstances.
