When her grandmother answered, Mabel explained the current situation they were in.
When she heard everything Mabel said, Kaia was surprised and responded, "Really, he actually encountered sothing like this?"
"Is it sothing worrying, Grandma?" Mabel was agitated. She didn't know if her grandmother's reaction was good or bad. She couldn't understand why she felt such a great pain in her chest, to the point where her voice was choked as she asked, with tears threatening to fall from her eyes.
Ariel clenched her hands tightly beside her. She bit her lower lip so hard it started to bleed.
Maisa almost fainted. Julia wasn't any better, her face pale as a sheet.
"Sigh~" They heard Kaia's sigh. They didn't know why she sighed, but her next words reassured them a lot: "Don't worry. If it's what I'm thinking, it's sothing very good for that boy."
"Thank goodness..."
In unison, the girls expressed the relief those words brought.
"Wait a bit." Kaia's voice echoed again from the other end of the line: "I'll do so research on this matter. I'll return and let you know if I find out anything new."
"Thank you, Grandma." Mabel expressed her gratitude.
"Thank you, Mrs. Kaia!" The girls also thanked her.
After a few exchanges of kind words, Kaia hung up.
Silence...
For a few seconds, silence hung in the air after the call.
And, when Mabel opened her lips to say sothing, soone's smartphone rang.
"Whose is it?" Mabel saw it wasn't hers.
"Oh, it's mine." Julia picked up the smartphone and showed the flashing screen, but not having looked, she didn't realize whose call it was, and therefore didn't understand everyone's expression.

After the 'sun' was created by Little Flora, the place they were in beca more illuminated, and Barbara no longer needed to rely on her flas to see.
Well, that wasn't entirely true, as her flas were practically part of creating the illumination of the place...
Putting that thought aside, Barbara had other concerns, such as contacting the girls and saying that they were okay.
Now that she had so guarantee of their safety, she knew she needed to at least inform them about her own safety.
Retrieving from her storage watch, Barbara took out a kind of advanced network signal receiver.
This was Amon's idea. After he got stuck on that planet without a ans of communication, he bought each of them an advanced state-of-the-art signal receiver that would work practically on any planet, no matter the distance.
It was the size of a 40-inch TV, rectangular in shape, but with a futuristic design. On the top, she pressed a button, and soon an antenna unfolded at the top.
The antenna consisted of a thin silver tal tube that unfolded into interconnected segnts. Each segnt had small solar panels and softly blinking blue LED lights. At the top, a bright sphere emitted pulses of light, indicating it was active and connected.
Little Flora circled the receiver and asked, pointing at the antenna, "Mommy, what is this?"
Although she had information about so things, Little Flora lacked knowledge beyond the basics. All she knew and learned were a few basic pieces of information she got from Amon and by connecting with Barbara. However, the information was not deep, just the basics of the basics.
"Mm, this is sothing so I can communicate with my friends, who must be worried about our safety." Barbara stroked Little Flora while saying this in her sweetest and most patient voice.
"Friends, worried?" Little Flora seed a little confused.
Barbara smiled and slowly explained to Little Flora.
After doing this, she made a sign for silence by placing her index finger between her lips: "Shhh, I'm going to call now."
"Shhh~" Little Flora imitated her.
Barbara smiled at her mischief and soon made the call to Julia's number, noticing that she had a signal.
'As expected from the latest technology... Even in this unknown place, it was able to create a signal...' Barbara murmured to herself.
The call rang a few tis until it finally connected to the other end.
"Julia, can you hear ?" Barbara spoke first.
"Yes, I can!" Julia's voice ca late, but when it did, it sounded full of life and enthusiasm: "Where are you now? Is Amon near you? Is everything okay with him... with both of you?"
"Don't ask so many questions at once." Barbara sighed but understood why she was so agitated and calmly explained her and Amon's situation.
"So that's it... That's good~" Julia sighed in relief.
Barbara could also hear the relieved sighs of the other girls.
"Yes, we're fine," Barbara continued. "Amon is in a deep ditation state and hasn't woken up yet, but we are safe for now."
Barbara considered ntioning Little Flora but held back for now... In reality, she wanted to give them a big surprise when the ti ca.
After talking with them for a few more minutes, she ended the call.
After that, she approached Amon, who still had his eyes tightly closed.
"Amon, when are you going to wake up..." she murmured.
Although she was less worried, it was impossible not to worry when seeing that, even with so much ti passing, Amon was still in a deep ditation state, showing no signs of waking up.
"Flora, let's investigate a bit more, shall we?" said Barbara, extending her hand to the little girl.
"Yes, Mommy!" Flora responded enthusiastically, holding Barbara's hand.
Together, they began to walk around the strange place. The lighting provided by the small star Flora had created made the environnt more welcoming, but there was still much to be discovered.
"This place is so strange," Barbara comnted, looking around. "It seems like a mixture of natural and artificial elents."
Beside her, Little Flora just smiled, cheerfully swinging Barbara's hand along with hers.
