"Big brother, come back early." The next day, Lia tugged at Jiu Ming's hand, clearly reluctant to let go. Jiu Ming nodded.
"Don't worry. I'll be back soon."
But even so, Lia's little face remained taut. "I heard from Sister C.C. that time flows differently on both sides. What if a very long time passes?"

In other words, there had been no temporal synchronization adjustment—time in her world actually flowed at roughly the same rate as in the Mysterious Shop.
Panel-kun... forget it. If there was something he did not want to answer, no
