This is a bit shorter than the previous chapter, but the next chapter will probably be longer.

For now I'm in no need to rush. ^•^

—Wels's POV—

I finally reached the town hall after 5 minutes of walking from Welsmart to here. Flying could've been an easier way of transporting. But with a baby Xisuma in my arms, I didn't take the risk of accidentally dropping him while flying. "Okay Xisuma, let me put you down first," I carefully brought the young admin to the ground till he was able to stand up properly. He pouted, upset that I couldn't carry him anymore, but happily took my hand as we both walked through the path to of diamond trees.

"Pretty trees," young Xisuma giggled.

"Hehe yeah," I hummed nervously. I wonder how the others are gonna react to this? Of course they either drop dead of awe or question all logic of this world..

"Uncle Welsy?"

"Hmm?" I felt a little hand tugging my leg. Xisuma then pointed his little finger at whatever or whoever he was pointing at. The moment I looked at where he was pointing, I-

"Wels!?"

"Z-Zedaph.."

There I was, staring at the two hermits, standing at the end of the path. Of course I expected Zedaph to be here since he was the one who called us, what I did not expect was another small individual, with blonde hair and red cheeky eyes, running circles around Zedaph quite playfully. We both stared with our mouths agape, pointing at each other's 'kid' like that one spiderman meme.

"You also have a kid!?" We both exclaimed.

"Hewwo," little Xisuma greeted calmly.
The young blonde's eyes sparkled of glee, ran straight towards Xisuma, and hastily shook hands with him. "Nice to mweet you! I am Tango!" He declared.

The two kept shaking hands till it caused their whole bodies to wiggle in sync with their hands. I was a bit worried that it might be a bit too much shaking, but Xisuma seemed to be having way too much fun with the vibration in his body. The two youngsters kept giggling continuously till Zedaph finally broke those two apart.

"Oi! Not too much shaking you little worm!" Zedaph lifted young Tango up to his arms. "Worms are wiggly!" Tango kept wiggling his way from Zedaph's grasp and ran circles around Zedaph once again. The older blonde let out an exasperated sigh but awed at the sight of a wiggly Tango anyway. "Geez," he chuckled.

"ohH- baBY SHASHWAMMYVOID!!" The wide eyed hermit swooped in from the sky and scooped the little strider into his arms.
"There's no such thing as the cutest baby in the world they say. aWW yOU and your beeautiFUL FAce~" Keralis cooed, pinching his little cheek softly. Xisuma's face brightens even more once he cuddles closer to the construction worker. "Uncle Kewalis!" He cried out.

I swear to notch Keralis looked like he was about to pass out when Xisuma called out his name. Little Tango on the other hand was quietly sulking behind Zedaph's leg, pouting as he watched Keralis babying Xisuma in pure awe. Tango seemed a bit jealous of the affection Xisuma was having. Zed took notice of what's going on and shared with me a smirk.

"Gee, sure looks like they're having fun," He teased. Tango buried his head between his hands to hide the tiny frown on his face. Zedaph chuckled and carefully picked up the little boomer from the ground and rested him on his shoulders. Tango gasped, "Piggy back ride!" He wrapped his arms around Zedaph's neck and cried out, "Giddy yap horsey!"

Me, the lonely Wels, watching them, by my lonesome self, an intellectual, took out my communicator once again and quickly sent a public message.

If Tango is also a kid, then there's a chance that the other hermits turned into kids too....Okay, so far I've only seen two kids, so it doesn't really prove that much, but nonetheless it was still a possibility. Because if a hermit did turn into a kid, knowing that one of the hermits is probably at the most bizarre of places, then that will be a problem..

*WelsKnight: If anyone is close to someone's base, please check if there's a baby hermit and bring them to the town hall.*

*WelsKnight: Zedaph can explain everything later*

*Zedaph: How do you know that I have something to do with this?*

*Welsknight: intuition*

*VintageBeef: o_0

"Uncle Welsy?" Xisuma raised his arms, waiting for me to pick him up. "Wait where's Keralis?" I asked, looking around for the construction worker. Xisuma still waited patiently for me to pick him up till Tango grabbed his arm and dragged him to the nearby trees to play.

Zedaph crossed his arms together and gave me a shrugged look. "Don't know. Said something about a possibility for a baby Bubbles," he explained.

"Wait what?.."
