Chapter 147: Did We Forget Someone?

After Takumi finished handling Pardo's arrangements, he turned his gaze to Elysia and Eden.

"What about you two?"

"Is there anything you want to do?"

Hearing Takumi's question, Eden looked at Elysia.

The meaning was clear.

Elysia made the decisions.

"Of course, we want to travel!"

"Now that we've come to your world, we have to have some fun."

"So, we're going on a trip."

"And after we get back, Eden, let's open a little bar!"

Saying this, she hugged Eden.

Eden nodded at Elysia's words.

"Alright!"

"I don't mind."

That sounded good.

First, they'd enjoy themselves in this world.

After they got to know it better, opening a small bar together would be nice too.

"Emm..."

"Alright, whatever you decide is fine."

"I'll have someone arrange your house for you when the time comes."

Takumi didn't object.

Whatever they decided was fine by him.

"Hehe~!"

"I'm really looking forward to this place."

"Oh right, let's catch up to Griseo."

"I haven't properly hugged grown-up Griseo yet."

Suddenly, Elysia seemed to remember something.

She immediately brought it up.

Hearing this, the corner of Takumi's mouth twitched.

"Let's go, then."

Since there was nothing urgent, Takumi decided to go with Elysia and Eden to find Griseo.

Takumi led Elysia and the others out of the laboratory.

Once they were outside, Elysia and Eden both noticed—

There were so many children here.

And all of them were adorable.

"Wow~!"

"So many cuties!"

Elysia's eyes lit up at the sight of the children.

A few little girls carrying books passed by, and when they saw Takumi and Elysia, their eyes also sparkled.

But none of them paid attention to Elysia or Eden.

Instead, they all ran over and surrounded Takumi.

"Takumi-oniichan!!"

"Onii-chan!!"

...

In just a moment, Takumi was swarmed by all these little girls.

They had just gotten out of school, and seeing Takumi made them so happy.

Watching this, Elysia was filled with envy.

She wanted to be welcomed by so many lolis too!

"Big sisters, you're so pretty!"

"Are you Takumi-oniichan's girlfriends?"

At that moment, one of the little girls spoke to Elysia.

Elysia couldn't help but smile at the question.

"Nope~!"

"Big sis isn't Takumi's girlfriend."

What a cute kid.

But no, she wasn't Takumi's girlfriend.

They'd only just met Takumi recently.

Hearing Elysia's answer, the little girls were visibly relieved.

"Great, since you're not Takumi-oniichan's girlfriend, I still have a chance~!"

"Yay!"

Elysia blinked in surprise at that.

But before she could say anything else, the other lolis erupted.

"How dare you!"

"Takumi-oniichan is mine!!"

"Who do you think you are?"

"No way, Takumi-oniichan is mine!!"

The little girls started arguing.

None of them were willing to back down over Takumi.

Eden was shocked to see the lolis fighting like that.

"Takumi, you're really popular!"

"These kids really like you."

It was kind of unbelievable.

Just a moment ago, all these girls had been getting along, but now they were arguing over Takumi.

Takumi could only give a wry smile at Eden's comment.

He signaled for the two to follow him and quietly slipped away from the crowd.

"If you knew their circumstances, you might understand."

Takumi then explained the situation with the children.

Everything they had in life was thanks to Takumi.

Because of that, all these girls dreamed of marrying Takumi when they grew up.

After listening, Elysia frowned.

"People in that world really are the worst, huh!"

Even Elysia had no fondness for those people from the dark loli world.

"They're just like that."

"You saw them during the Moth of the Fire-Chasers, didn't you?"

Eden shook her head.

She'd never liked people with such twisted minds.

Back in the previous era, it was people like that who dragged everyone down.

The three of them chatted as they walked, soon catching up with Griseo.

"Kosma, you have to call me big sister now!"

"Griseo is a big sister now."

"No more calling me little Griseo!"

Right now, Griseo was seriously lecturing Kosma.

As soon as they arrived, Takumi and the others were taken aback.

"Elysia-chan, Eden-neesan, Takumi-oniichan, what brings you here?"

Sensing them approach, Griseo turned around to greet everyone.

"We came to see you, Griseo-nee!"

"I still haven't hugged grown-up Griseo yet."

Elysia happily ran up and hugged Griseo.

Hearing this, Griseo sighed.

"Ely-chan, you're still the same as ever."

Maybe it was just a habit, or maybe she remembered how Elysia always called her that—she always called Elysia "little Ely" as well.

Kosma glanced at Takumi.

"Griseo doesn't need me to follow her anymore."

"She's grown up now."

"Is there anything you need me to do?"

Kosma seemed a bit down.

His little sister had grown up; he didn't need to tag along anymore.

He was in a new world now, so it was time to do his own thing.

Takumi rolled his eyes.

"You sure?"

"If you are, then go be a pilot at the lab."

"Vilvi will probably build a lot of robots in the future."

Takumi figured Kosma should be a pilot there.

Go drive some Gundams.

Kosma's eyes lit up.

That sounded perfect.

"That works!"

"So, Griseo, are you okay on your own?"

Kosma turned to Griseo.

Griseo nodded in response.

"No problem, Kosma-otouto."

...

Kosma instantly lost the will to keep talking.

He nodded, then vanished on the spot, expressionless.

Better to slip away than be called that any longer.

"Let's go!"

"I'll go with you."

Takumi said as he led Griseo and the others after the robot, heading to Griseo's new studio.

"Come to think of it, didn't we forget someone?"

Suddenly, as they were walking, Eden seemed to remember something.

Where was Su?

"He became a doctor."

"He went to the hospital."

"Didn't you know?"

Elysia looked at Eden in surprise.

Didn't Eden notice just now?

Eden was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.

Sorry, she really hadn't noticed.
