Warning: Spoilers Off applies to these pages. Proceed at your own risk

  • While Takafumi takes in Uncle initially only because he can do magic, the two grow closer together and enjoy each other’s company, even going to see a movie together.
  • Takafumi remembers Fujimiya from his school days. Though she was an ugly child and a bully, he holds her in high regard and is pleased to see her again.
    • The same goes for Fujimiya’s brother Chiaki. While Takafumi originally mistakes him for a punk making advances on Fujimiya, once the misunderstanding clears up the two are best buds.
  • Uncle giving Elf-san and Mabel a ring to assist them with their debts. One gets blackmailed by a loan shark to get it back and the other would rather endure penury rather than give it up (and considering how lazy she is, this means something).
  • Elf-san’s classic Tsundere behaviour, which shows how much she cares for Uncle despite all the trouble he gives her:
    • Whenever Uncle does something good for Elf-san that validates her feelings/deeds for him:
    • Their first encounter was a classic Rescue Romance: he saved her from a dragon, and gave her his jacket to cover her naked body.
    • Later on, he says he just wanted to save her. He had no reward or ulterior motive in mind.
    • Uncle and Elf share their close personal names.
  • Mabel traps Uncle in ice and tries to assassinate him for taking away her job… only she has no killing intent, because she’s happy to see Uncle again.
  • When Mabel tries to retell the tale of the founder of the Frost Clan, Elf-san in her rashness screws up everything by summing up the whole thing much to Mabel's dismay who thinks that was the only thing she could do well. Elf-san realizes immediately how badly she hurt Mabel's feelings and try to comfort her.
  • Later on, Uncle discovers Mabel has a wonderful singing voice, and he teaches her a few songs. Sega songs, but she sings them nicely and he enjoys them.
  • Alicia is the nicest girl Uncle has met and has given him the least trouble.
  • Uncle allows Alicia to be rewarded and renowned for heroic deeds Uncle had actually done. While part of this is because he wants to keep a low profile, it’s also a sign of him trusting her party.
  • When Alicia’s friends Raiga and Edgar try to give Uncle his share of the rewards from a shared mission, he refuses, saying he can trust them not to cheat him.
  • When Uncle, Elf-san and Alicia’s party stay at an inn, the innkeeper’s family, specifically his daughter Nenia, is initially frightened of Uncle, but they eventually warm up to him.
  • A Christmas story has Uncle conjure up a reindeer and sleigh for Elf-san to go on a ride through the snow. Also doubles as a Funny Moment as he is the reindeer.
