P.L.A.N.T. Embassy on the Moon, 3:00 p.m. local time.
The original purpose of setting up the embassy is said to be used to contact Haman in case of emergency, but Ade and Haman have their own personal contacts. This place has never once been used, more like a veteran cadre activity center. The exiled former Captain Butterfield not only didn't complain about this, but was very satisfied.
In the embassy's activity room, Mineva and Ple were eating ice cream. When she is with Ade, Mineva has to act ladylike at all times and usually eats in small bites. But with Ple, she doesn't have to pay attention too much, and at the moment, the little girl was eating with white sticky liquid on the corner of her mouth.
After finishing a small cup of ice cream, Mineva took a paper towel and wiped her mouth, contentedly looking at Ple who was still eating. Unlike her, Ple was eating a large cup. She didn't because she was afraid of becoming a fat girl. However, looking at Ple, she suddenly found a very serious problem.
"Hey, Ple." She touched her friend's arm, "Are your breasts puffed up?"
"Ple?" Ple lifted her face from the cup and swallowed the ice cream in her mouth with a gulp, "Yeah, oh, mommy says I'm starting to grow and I'm going to get as big as her later. Audrey, do you want to see?"
Saying that, Ple lifted her clothes and revealed the cotton undershirt under the short sleeves. Mineva quickly knocked her hand away, "Stupid Ple, you are a girl, girls are not allowed to do this!"
"But we're both girls?" Ple puffed out her cheeks in discontent, "Ple is not a fool, it's not like I'm going to take off my clothes in front of the boys in my class."
"So Auntie Aisha taught you, that's great." Mineva patted her flat chest reassuringly, "Well, it looks like I don't have to worry about it."
"Min~! Ne~! Va~!"
Ple threw her hands up in the air and pounced on her. The little girl dodged with a bright laugh, and the two just chased each other around the room. After playing around for a while, the tired duo sat back in their seats. Ple's little face instantly became upset, "The ice cream melted, Ple Ple Ple Ple."
Mineva ignored her complaint and looked at her slightly bulging breasts and asked curiously, "Ple, Ple, what does it feel like to grow up?"
"Hard, hot, and sometimes a little sore, but mom says it's normal." Ple looked down and poked her chest, "I wonder if the boys in my class will make fun of me for this after school starts."
"Uncle Andy is the ambassador." Mineva said with a relaxed look, "No parent dares to let their children bully you. If you are not sure, I'll let Uncle Ade also make one Beargguy for you, right?"
Ple looked envious at Beargguy, who was standing beside them silently, reluctantly retracted her eyes, "Mom and Dad are saying that I can not take things from Uncle Ade. Thank you, Audrey, no need. But that… what ambassador is?"
"Nothing, you'll know when you grow up." Mineva was obviously younger, but she patted Ple's shoulder like an adult, "but the boys are very annoying, these little kids often send love letters, and there are even misspellings inside! It's really annoying."
"Love letters?" Ple's eyes lit up, "Audrey received a love letter? Who sent it? I want to read it!"
"Who are they? Let me think, Banerjee, Hathaway … Well, too many to remember, anyway, I threw all the letters away." The little girl's round face suddenly turned red, "They are too childish, I prefer a mature, knowledgeable, literate, gentle, reliable, and who can tell stories to me… NT."
"Ple got it!" Ple raised his right hand excitedly, "Audrey is saying wooooooooooooooooooo-"
"No testing my mind! You shouldn't use your NT ability like that!" Mineva covered Ple's mouth with shame, "Ple, I won't play with you if you do that again!"
Ple nodded her head desperately, Mineva then released her. Ple is also an NT, of course, she knew that Mineva didn't mean what she said, so she didn't take Mineva's words to heart. In order not to provoke Mineva again, she decided to turn the topic back, "Since my boobs started to grow, Daddy doesn't even shower with me anymore, and Mommy also said that girls can't shower with Daddy when they grow up."
"Uncle Andy and Aunt Aisha lied to you, and Aunt C.C. and Aunt Lacus lied to me the same way." Mineva sneered, "I clearly heard Sister Ange call Uncle Ade 'daddy', and they take a bath together. It's all an excuse for the adults, just like Aunt Haman who used to watch out for Aunt Nanai all day long in the past."
"So it's a lie?" Ple's eyes widened in surprise, "Then should I talk to mom and dad?"
"No." Mineva stretched out a finger to press Ple's forehead, "Didn't I say? Don't tell Aunt Aisha and Uncle Andy about our two private conversations, it's our secret."
"Ple and Audrey's secret, got it." Ple nodded honestly, "Ple Ple Ple."
"You're so nice, you don't have to think about anything …" Mineva sighed breathlessly when she saw Ple's heartless look, "Dad started asking me about Uncle Ade and aunts' things again, and asked me to peek at Aunt Lacus's computer. He's already done so many bad things, why doesn't he stop? Crimes against humanity, sigh…"
"What's a crime against humanity, Audrey?" Ple asked, "Revolt against … humanity?"
"It's a terrible thing to be against humanity. So many people on Earth almost died because of him and were finally saved by Uncle Ade." Mineva slumped melancholy on the table, "The aunts and Sister Ange said Dad was a jerk, but Dad said he was right. Uncle Ade says Daddy loves me, but Daddy wants me to guard against Uncle Ade."
"Uncle Ade is good!" Ple said seriously, "Ple just knows!"
"I know Uncle Ade is good, too, but… that man is my dad, Ple." Mineva twirled her spoon and stirred it in the empty ice cream cup, "Dad told me yesterday that I can go back to Earth when I graduate from elementary school. Although I don't want to go to Earth at all, his tone is … very strange. I have a bad feeling. I feel that Uncle Ade is going to be in danger."
"Then what should we do?" Ple cocked his head, "Ple like Uncle Ade."
"Yeah, what about that? I like… like Uncle Ade too." Mineva buried her face in the crook of her arm, and fell silent for a long while, "Ple, remember what I told you, the story of the edible master and his three apprentices' adventure?"
"Remember! Remember! Ple likes the monkey best!" Ple froze for a moment and reacted, "Huh? Isn't it about Uncle Ade?"
"All the monsters in the story wanted to eat the master because if they ate the master, they could live forever. One day I asked Uncle Ade what to do if a monster tried to eat me, and Uncle Ade said he would protect me." Mineva ignored her and said to herself, "I asked again, if other humans also want to eat me, what will he do? For example, if everyone is sick, and only after eating Mineva can they be cured, otherwise, they will all die."
"Uncle Ade is very powerful!" Ple said proudly, "Uncle Ade will cure everyone!"
"I asked him, what if only my meat can cure them?" Mineva looked up at her little friend, "Uncle Ade said, 'Then let everyone die, no one is as important as my little princess.'"
"Wow~!" Ple's eyes lit up, "Audrey, Ple decided, from today onwards, I'm a fan of Uncle Ade!"
"That's what you said last time, Ple." Mineva gave a breathless "tsk", "I was so happy to hear Uncle Ade's answer that I asked dad the same question, and guess what he said?"
"What did he say?"
"Dad said, 'My daughter couldn't possibly ask such a boring question, did Ade tell you some unhealthy stories? '." Mineva showed a sad expression, "Ple, I think dad… he may … not like me as much as he said."
Now Ple didn't know how to answer, but could only squirm and sit aside, and the five features on her small face twisted together.
"Dad thinks I'm too young to understand this. In fact, I understand, he's forcing me to make a choice, and if I choose daddy, I can never be with Uncle Ade again." Mineva closed her eyes and took a deep breath, slowly opened her eyes, and her big watery eyes were already full of determination, "Ple, go watch the door. If Aunt Aisha and Uncle Andy come back, use your NT ability to warn me."
"Ple Ple?" Ple dumbly touched her hair. Although she didn't know the reason, she still stood up and went towards the door.
Mineva jogged two steps to catch up with Ple and gave her a gentle hug, whispering, "Thank you."
Ple replied, confused, "It's my pleasure?"
Mineva trotted to the corner of the room, took out her phone, and flipped through the phone book, mouthing something, "…Sister Ange… she is unreliable … classmate, classmate, classmate …Aunt C.C., I don't trust her… classmate, classmate… Aunt Momoka, no, she is just a maid… classmate, classmate, … tsk, how so many classmates? Should I delete some of them?"
After sifting through the entire address book carefully, Mineva finally found the only person she could ask for help and tremblingly pressed the call button. A few moments later, a nice voice rang out on the other end, "Audrey? Is that you?"
"It's me." Mineva whispered, "Please help me, Sister Nunnally."
