Little Eula watched the old uncle sleeping so comfortably and unconsciously let out a soft yawn.
"Haaam~ He should be asleep. Kokomi, it looks like it's about time for you to head back too."
Little Kokomi tilted her head.
Only… me?
"Children need to sleep early and wake up early. It wouldn't be good to move the old uncle while he's asleep either. I'll take you home so I can come back quickly to keep watch over him."
"But Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou…"
Is it really okay to leave him here unattended for now?
"No need to worry. Although the old uncle looks like no one's watching him, there are actually quite a few existences keeping an eye on him. Leaving for a little while won't be a problem."
Other things aside, there was the Rex Lapis cat-dragon plush the old uncle was carrying with him, the Akasha Terminal in his pocket, and they were still on Inazuma's soil.
Three gods were watching—what could possibly go wrong?
"Oh… Is that so?"
Little Eula reached out and patted little Kokomi's head.
"Relax, relax. But little Kokomi, don't copy this, okay? You generally shouldn't leave someone else sleeping alone in the wilderness.
Mainly, if you return home late, your mother will worry, right?
I'll take you back first, then come back to watch over the old uncle."
Little Eula smiled as she looked at the old uncle sleeping soundly.
"After all, disturbing someone while they're having a beautiful dream isn't a good thing."
Watching Eula sister's gentle appearance, little Kokomi felt a familiar sensation.
She was similar to Mother…
"All right, but if tomorrow…"
"Don't worry. The old uncle usually wakes up quite early. We'll make it back in time."
Eula sister took little Kokomi's hand and first brought the child back to Sangonomiya.
Along the way, she also chatted with little Kokomi about various topics.
"Don't be fooled by the old uncle's serious appearance during the day. That's just something he puts on. Deep down, he's still a very gentle and good person.
Oh right, if you want to get closer to the old uncle, just call him 'old uncle.' Back in Liyue Harbor, he was coaxed by Liyue parents into looking after children like this…"
Little Kokomi listened with great interest to Eula sister's introduction.
"Oh, and in private you can also call me Eula sister. When we have time on Watatsumi Island later, I can bake some sweets for you.
If you have nothing to do usually, you can come visit me and the old uncle more often. Both of us quite like children…"
It was still the same old line.

Little Eula's harem group? √
Little Eula had ultimately been too influenced by the old uncle. She had picked up his catchphrase, learned to build relationships with children, and what else hadn't she learned?
One could only say that little Eula had indeed built a good relationship with little Kokomi. When Lady Sangonomiya saw her precious daughter returning while holding hands affectionately with little Eula, she was somewhat surprised.
"Lady Sangonomiya, I've brought your daughter back. Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou and I really enjoyed the journey she guided us on."
Lady Sangonomiya looked at little Eula's attire—the hairpin that clearly held special meaning, the yukata that seemed prepared for being with someone particularly important, and the hazy pink-bubble atmosphere of a young girl surrounding her…
Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou…
This Miss Eula still looked quite young, didn't she?
Mm…
There probably wasn't much of a problem. Although Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou hadn't spoken much during the day, those ordinances related to Watatsumi Island had clearly been pushed forward by him, with little Eula responsible for carrying them out…
Watching Miss Eula's departing back, Lady Sangonomiya also asked little Kokomi about today's experiences.
