When facing a person's departure, what is the usual process like?
First comes the intense emotions brought by the inability to adapt.
For example, when the familiar figure that had always been by one's side on ordinary days is no longer there, one begins to urgently hope for that person to return.
At this point in time, the emotional impact on a person is the strongest. For those whose rationality is relatively difficult to suppress, it becomes very easy to do some extreme things.
And even if one manages to suppress it, that feeling of longing can easily make a person want to take some further steps.
For Little Eula, this emotion was especially intense.
And what is the best way to deal with the longing brought by Old Uncle's departure?
Old Uncle is not around, so helping Old Uncle clean his room should be a perfectly normal thing, right?
There was one rather regrettable point: the things Old Uncle had left behind in the house at Sangonomiya actually weren't much. There were merely some clothes that weren't really suitable for adventuring.
Thinking about it, with something as convenient as a Vision, those kinds of sexy books that belonged to boys would definitely have to be kept inside the spatial inventory.
And after the peak of the emotions had passed, one would enter a kind of empty sense of void.
One would constantly find traces of that person's existence in the corners of one's daily life.
For example, in the early morning one might hallucinate a certain Old Uncle practicing Tai Chi, and while typing one would involuntarily start making some travel plans for when Old Uncle returned…
In the afternoon one would also be inside the secret base learning from Old Uncle how to ruffle Little Kokomi's hair…
Perhaps it couldn't really be said that she was learning from Old Uncle. Rather, for Little Eula, she herself also really liked cute little children.
Cute children are the greatest treasure of this world.
Especially when it comes to healing people's hearts.
"Little Eula, why do I feel like you've started liking pinching faces more and more?"
At this moment, Old Uncle, who was being hugged from behind by Little Eula and having his face pinched, asked a bit helplessly.
"Who knows? Maybe it's just like how you, Old Uncle, like little children?"
Little Eula appeared unexpectedly happy.
"Mm, seems so."
Old Uncle was currently holding Little Kokomi, entering a long-lost state of quiet rest.
...
"Strange, has anyone seen my clothes?"
The Abyss Prince asked the Hydro Abyss Mage beside him in puzzlement.
The Abyss Mages shook their heads.
We don't know~.
Master Aether fell into thought.
It couldn't be him, right? That doesn't make sense either. He was already exiled by me to Enkanomiya, and he can't come back in a short time, and I even arranged for Dain…
And recently Inazuma has been strictly investigating the Abyss Order, so that guy should already be preparing to be reborn inside the Ley Lines…
"Hihi! Fellow colleagues! I'm back!"
A Pyro Abyss Mage who had returned from a business trip appeared unexpectedly happy inside the base.
Aether looked at the Pyro Abyss Mage with an extremely serious expression.
Why did you come back?
With your IQ, how could you possibly come back?
You wouldn't have even stolen my blue underpants, would you?
"Your Highness the Prince! I've recorded the story of Before Sun and Moon…"
The Pyro Abyss Mage completely failed to realize the seriousness of the problem.
He simply handed over his mission objective to the Prince.
Then, looking at the Prince's expression that was like "his little sister got married," he fell into thought.
"Your Highness, aren't you happy to see me back?"
The Pyro Abyss Mage realized something was off.
Aether looked at the Pyro Abyss Mage and simply felt very uncomfortable.
"Yeah, seeing me seems to make you very unhappy."
This voice!
Fluffy Fire suddenly turned his head…
It was Dainsleif! He was standing at the place where he had just teleported over!
