"Aunt!"
After calling out, Aiven let Daphne pull his hand and talk as they walked, thoroughly enjoying this rare sense of family affection in his life.
"At that time, Ferman had just passed away, and soon after, there came the bad news from Black Stone Town that you and Anita had disappeared. You were both so young, my heart nearly broke.
But thankfully, thanks to the Goddess, we are finally reunited!" As she spoke, Daphne's eyes turned red again.
Aiven knew this was Aunt Daphne's genuine outpouring of emotions.
Before marrying Uncle Gel, this aunt's hometown was also in Ilya, and she was actually a distant relative of his family, with genuine blood ties.
Including her marriage to Uncle Gel, which was arranged by his parents, the relationship between the two families needs no further explanation.
After an Extraordinary Transformation and spiritual activation, Aiven's memory and thinking ability had undergone a qualitative change, making even childhood memories vivid once more.
