Inside the Gaea Chamber of Commerce home base (i.e. Farm Villa #2), the group was preparing to do a minor celebration, waiting for the rest of the team members to get back home.
At this time, other than the children, there were only two other adults in the house, one of whom was Harold, who looked awkwardly at the mountain of mana cookies he made while dazed in worry.
In the past few weeks, his success rate had improved to about 50%, so he ended up with a lot of stock. He sighed, packing them up in containers, and putting some in the space.
Anyway, the boss alone could consume huge amounts of these when she was experimenting, so he wasn't worried anything would go stale.
Harold was left to care for the children. They were a bit superstitious and didn't want to expose the children to the funeral, so they stayed at home.
