Summary
During the Fall of 2017, Takafumi learned that his Uncle who had been in coma after getting involved in a traffic accident 17 years ago has woken up, and so he goes to meet him. Upon arriving, Takafumi's Uncle starts talking to him weirdly, which prompts him to think that his Uncle is suffering mental damage, which only solidifies after his Uncle claims that he was excited to return back from the Another World "Granbahamal" after 17 years. When Uncle asks Takafumi about what the other family members were doing, he learns that the whole family is separated and even his sister didn't want to do anything with him, which prompts Uncle to write down something in a small notebook and chant "Icuras Cuora" after that. Uncle tries to prove to Takafumi that he really went to Another World, by using Magic which initially fails much to Takafumi's dismay who is trying to explain about his financial issues to him and not being able to support him, when suddenly Uncle triggers a Wind Magic while using Japanese, proving his claims. Seeing this Takafumi gets excited and forgets about his talk about not being able to support his Uncle. Uncle meanwhile asks Takafumi about the Console Wars and the situation about Sega, and gets distraught when he learns about Sega had pulled out from the Console market, so he immediately writes down on his small notebook and chant "Icuras Cuora" after that. Takafumi gets interested and asks about what "Icuras Cuora" is, and Uncle reveals to him that its the Memory Erasure Spell, which he uses whenever he experienced something unbearable, though he writes down about it in his small notebook before erasing. Takafumi gets interested and asks if he could read the notebook, which he immediately regrets after reading it and asks his Uncle to use "Icuras Cuora" on him. A week later, Uncle gets discharged and moves in to live with Takafumi in his apartment. Meanwhile Takafumi decides to monetize his Uncle's powers and started posting videos of it on YouTube, which helps generating ¥60,000 Yen in Ad Revenue.

Later on, Uncle questions Takafumi on why he got such a big room to live alone to which he replies that he was originally a Roomshare setup but because of issues it didn't work out. Uncle is surprised to here the term "Roomshare" which he never knew and thinks that Takafumi was living with a girl. Takafumi clarifies about it and is surprised to learn that Roomshare didn't exists 17 years ago (while comparing a Smartphone to an Electronic Dictionary, to Takafumi's surprise). With the talk buddies going on, Takafumi asks Uncle about his companions in the Another World, to which Uncle informs that he was mostly Solo for 17 years. Primary reason being that everyone in that Another World was really good-looking, while he was hunted down as a sub-species of Orc. Uncle talks about one particular person who followed him around regularly and harassed him, and would launch attacks and verbal abuse towards him. Takafumi is sad to hear that Another Fantasy World's aren't really that good either. Uncle continues on to say more stuff about that person, on how first time he saved her, rather than saying thanks she was pretty rude to him. As Uncle continues to talk more about the person, Takafumi comes to the realization that the girl was actually a Tsundere, and remembers that the concept of Tsundere didn't originate until 4 years after Uncle departed for his journey. Uncle laminates that things didn't go well for him in the Another World, and shifts his focus to interact with his Commenters from around the world on Internet, but is unable to keep up with the terms and things going on.
