After everyone took a peek inside, Aryan finally spoke, "Mom really, you made a license for this!!?"
"Yes, it shows my authority over others. Why shouldn't I make one??," replied Anisa.
"Sigh...Mom, hopeless case you are."
"....."
"Anisa, where did you make this? Me too want one." Granny Kotori asked.
"Mom, it's a one and only unique ID Book, that the alliance made for me, and don't you have an ID Book of your own?" asked Anisa.
"Alliance!! What Alliance are you talking about? Since when do we have an alliance for this??"
"It's been a long time since the Alliance is formed!! Don't you know about it," Anisa asked in confusion.
"Hi-ro-ki Kun, you never told me about this."
"It's my first time knowing about such an alliance." Grand Elder replied.
"Me too don't know anything about this," intervened Aditya.
"Us too don't know," Takeru and Yoshino spoke at once.
"What!! You had been working in the Alliance five years ago, and now none of you know about it? Are you all drunk??"
Granny Kotori "...."
Grand Elder "...."
Takeru "....."
Yoshino "....."
Aditya "Wait, wait, I think we are on wrong tracks!!"
Aditya took the ID Book from Takeru and handed it over to Anisa and asked her to open and read it. As instructed, she opened and read it.
All of a sudden, her face became flushed red; she was cursing herself for her grave mistake. Instead of her office ID Book, she gave Aryan License to Have Lolis And Shotas Book.
"So, are we on the same track now?" Aditya asked mockingly.
"Yes, we are," replied Anisa with a flushed red, embarrassed face.
She quickly waved her hand and stored the License to Have Lolis And Shotas Book in her inter-spatial ring and took out another book having the same size, color, and thickness.
This time it was the right book, Aryan read the ID Book and looked at her mother gasping in shock.
"Mom is the head of Asterisk Alliance!!!"
"Hehehe praise me, praise me."
"But before that, what is the Asterisk alliance."
"There goes my praise," said Anisa while pouting.
"And whose fault do you think is that? Not telling me anything about the outside world."
"Sigh….Okay, I agree it's partly my fault, but your Gramps and pops are equally guilty."
"Pray, please explain the Asterisk Alliance," Aryan asked in a monotonous voice.
"Yes, let me explain it to you," replied Anisa.
"Hmm…."
"So basically the Asterisk Alliance is…."
"Asterisk Alliance is….??"
"Takeru will explain, it has a long explanation."
Aryan "...."
Aditya "...."
Grand Elder "...."
"Tch, tch, you lazy boss do some work."
"Ta-ke-ru Kun, you know the thing is I have been suffering from cancer."
"Cancer!! Isn't that a curable disease nowadays?" Aryan intervened.
"Yes, it is a curable disease, but my cancer is at its last stage, I can't be saved now, sob."
"Mom, care to tell which type of cancer do you have?"
"L & P type," answered Takeru.
"What L & P? I have never heard of such a cancer type."
"Sigh….. It's not surprising that you don't know. L & P is the abbreviation of Laziness and Procrastination."
Aryan "....."
'I better stay away from mom to avoid that cancer of hers,' Aryan decided.
"Sigh…..The Asterix Alliance is an organization formed by coming together of five Ultra Galaxies, to maintain peace and intervene if any interstellar dispute arises."
"Oh, I see, by the way, what's the meaning of an Ultra Galaxy now?" asked Aryan.
"Let me explain," Aditya intervened and began his long explanation. According to him, an Ultra Galaxy is the next level of a Mega Galaxy. The term galaxy refers to a place that contains ten or less solar systems. Mega Galaxy contains up to fifty solar systems, and an Ultra Galaxy contains at least a hundred galaxies inside it.
"At least a hundred!! Then what is the max it can contain??"
"It can be infinity," answered Aditya.
"Then our galaxy is a..."
"Yes, our galaxy is an Ultra, there are thousands of solar systems and planets that are still undiscovered."
"Can anyone explain to me how in the world mom ended up becoming the head of such an organization!!? Mom becoming a head, giving me a headache now. I am worried about our galaxy future."
"Pffft wahahahah wahahaha Lil boy it's not only you who is worried about it, but many higher-ups of different organizations are also worried about it."
Aryan "....."
"But don't worry, we have Takeru and Yoshino here as our assistants, they are the best duo for office and paper works."
"Then what does mom do there?"
"My work is to sign on the final paper, verified by Take Kun and Yoshi Chan."
"And…." Aryan questioned.
"What and…??"
"I mean, there must be something else that you must do like fighting in the frontline?"
"Ara Ara~~ Lil boy don't you know your mom is the Sword Saint Queen she alone is enough to take down a solar system, forget about the line."
"You are joking, right? Right, Granny!!?"
"Hehehehe believe in your Granny words, I am somewhat strong." intervened Anisa.
After a moment of silence, Aryan spoke, "Now I am really worried and that too about other galaxies."
"Us too," added Takeru and Yoshino.
"So let me summarise again," asked Aryan.
"Gramps is the Planet Head, Granny is a Business Overlord, pops is a world-famous researcher, and mom is the head of Asterisk Alliance, right?"
"Wahahahah wahahahah Lil boy planet head is a part-time job for me till the next head is decided," replied Grand Elder.
'Fck, a post like a planet head, is his part-time job!! Is he doing this for some pocket change'?
"My dear Gramps, then please do the honor of revealing your job then, why keep it for another day?"
"Wahahahah wahahahaha Lil boy now is not the right time to know about it, first awaken your second chakra then I will tell you" replied Grand Elder.
"Hmph!! Always playing mystery mystery." pouted Aryan.
