I really mean it, as well for the 70 votes! If you like this book, don't forget to vote, share, and follow my account!

"The next issue we must focus on is bringing everyone with us," Norman shifted his weight on his right leg, watching as Ray leant against the tree for support, as if he was about to crumble at any moment.

Shinobu huffed heavily, seeming like she was tired but immediately plastered on a reassuring grin when everyone turned to her.

"What's up Shinobu?" Y/n turned to the black and purple haired girl who closed her eyes, smiling.

"Oh, nothing Y/n-chan~" Shinobu whistled before opening her eyes. "Anyways, carry on, Norman."

"...Our main problem is that everyone completely trusts Mama. And that many of the kids wouldn't be able to handle the truth," Norman held out two fingers from one of his hands that was folded over.

"...Do you think we'll have to lie to them?" Nezuko fretted, tugging on a tuft of grass from where she was kneeling. Emma gazed at the ball in her hands with a sadness that couldn't be combatted with. Y/n immediately felt guilty watching the usual ball of sunshine transform into a rain cloud.

"Not only that, but some of them have incredibly low stamina," Ray held up his book, shaking it as all eyes focused on him.

Don't you dare mention what I think you're going to say... Shinobu's grip on her wrist doubled in strength as she tensed up.

"Or they're just plain dumb."

"RAY!" Emma immediately retaliated at his remark, throwing the ball at the boy as he pointed to the sky with dull eyes.

"Ah..." Y/n, Norman and Nezuko watched with wide eyes.

"But you can't deny it," Giyuu hummed as Ray twisted around to catch the ball in his unoccupied hand. "I mean, most of them can't walk and those who can suck at running. Frankly, they'd be quite a burden unless we're planning on carrying them..."

"I doubt we can carry sixteen children," Norman sighed, staring at the ground with a tense gaze.

"We'll need a way to kill off the demons and adults," Giyuu lowered his tone menacingly.

"I've thought about all that!" Emma clutched her uniform tightly, righteously shouting at the top of her lungs.

"Eh?" Nezuko gasped as Emma turned heads her direction.

"Ara, what may that be?" Shinobu traced a finger over her lips, expectantly waiting for Emma to continue.

"Oh?" Isabella led two children by their heads, approaching a tree on the empty hill. Her violet eyes noticed three children around the tree, all busy doing their own things. "What are you all doing by yourselves again?"

One of the figures turned around, having been fiddling with a rectangular wooden box. Shinobu's purple curls bounced on her shoulders as she smiled gently. "Doing our own things..."

"... Where are the others?" the woman gazed over the empty grass, having been expecting more children to be out enjoying the sun.

"Who knows," Giyuu fumbled over the hem of his uniform, averting his eyes from the Mother.
