Reminder: bold is author notes
I’m posting this on my phone so sorry in advance for mistakes. I’m gonna fix my TL notes tomorrow.
Edit: From now on I won't add the commas when Kanade talks since it's too annoying and even the author gave up on it.
2100. That was what was shown on the clock.
That man still hasn’t come back home.
The best possibility is that he was dragged away by the delinquents.
I cursed him in my mind with these thoughts.
But that won’t do, without parents and this small body, how can I survive alone in this foreign country.
Even though that man is trash, from the current looks of it, he is this family’s only source of income.
Although the source of income is unknown…
Right, why didn’t I try calling my old family before I reincarnated!
Since it is not transmigration but reincarnation, I should be able to contact them.
My phone was taken out.
I have to add a +86 right? (Tn:+86 for China +852 5112 97xx for my number :3)
+86 1xx xxxx xxxx… alright. (Tn: i added the X so it feels right… it was originally just a 1)
My emotions began rising up inside.
Why didn’t I think of such an easy solution before.
Dii——
The call connected.
But for these parents of mine, it should be the kind of pain of the old burying the sound right
……
With these thoughts running through my mind, my emotions suddenly felt a bit cold.
「Hello?」
It’s the familiar voice of my mother.
「Is this XXX’s home?」
I said the name I had during my previous life
「Hello…who is that? Did you dial the wrong number?」
Eh?
「Then… are you XX? You have a son called XXX right?」
「I am called XX…I also have a son, but his name is YYY….」(To make names like XX or YY, this author is so lazy
Yep, thats my brother’s name
「It..it’s nothing, bye」
Holding in my desire to cry, I took the initiative to end the call.
Does that mean my existence has been erased?
Or did I travel to a parallel world where my brother is the only child in the family?
Let’s not think anymore about this, time to sleep.
「Sniff…Sob——」
That man still hasn’t come back yet
The swelling on my face felt much better now.
If no one looks at it too carefully then it shouldn’t be noticeable
The corners of my eyes still had traces of the tears from last night.
I used the towel to wash my face again, this time with more force.
Let’s go to school.
It’s now exactly 720am.
As I arrived at the 2nd floor, I overheard a few grannies who woke up early gossiping.
「The girl from that family is so pitiful」
「Yeah…The father being like that, the mother even ran away」
「Are you talking about the one on the 6th floor… I often hear a young girl crying at night from that apartment」
「I’ve heard the police and the PTA had came over before, but nothing much changed even though they came.」
「The police are always like this…..」
I picked up my pace.
Starting my day with such gloomy emotions...
「Sigh…..」
I let out a long sigh as I laid on my desk.
Why was my transmigration such a failure.
this life is just as much of a failure as my previous life.
「Hey! Sai!」
Someone patted me gently on the back.
It must be that Nakamura.
「Yo——」
There is still some time before lessons start.
I turned around to face him.
「Nakamura…what kind of people are your parents?」
「Huh?」
「Ah…it must be strange to ask such a question so suddenly right? Pretend I didn't ask」
「No, I was just surprised that’s all..but, about my parents… it’s quite a long story, so I’ll tell you after school」
「You don't have to take it so seriously..I was just asking out of impulse」
「It’s ok, I want to tell you about myself」
For rich families like his, it should be the mother staying at home and taking care of the household and the father is the big boss some company —— that kind of feeling.
Lunch time.
「Sai are you only going to just have a yakisoba pan…」
「Yep!」
I have been anticipating to try this for ages.
I gently bit down
Delicious! (TN:oishii!)
The crispy crust of the bread combined with the soft inside itself
Sandwiched in-between the soba noodles, thick but not sticky.
The sauce is a kind of black pepper.
Ah, it feels like my brain is melting… (AN: I made myself hungry by writing this) (TN: good thing I had lunch already and I don’t think it’s that kind of hungry the author is saying ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°))
He must have noticed my blissful face. (TN: Ahegao face)
「Is it really that tasty…」
「Amazing! Don’t believe me try it yourself~」
I handed over the bread.
Nakamura looked at me, and then at the bread.
「Then I might as well listen to you for once….ou! Delicious!」(Tn: what is? the bread or the indirect kiss)(eN:probably the latter :P
This kid…is it to delicious that it made your entire face red?
「continuing the conversation in the morning, I’ll introduce you my family」
「Ok」
「My family and that Nakamura tech has relations with each other」
I was right….
「My father is the chairman of the board of directors for the main company and my mother is his lover」
「Wait! Nakamura, is telling me this kind of thing really ok…」
「It’s ok….I’m going to continue」
He doesn’t have the intention to stop talking, so I continued to listen.
「I think I was considered a mistake…but I wasn’t treated badly in any way because of it. The main branch of the Nakamura family decided to give my mother and I the identity of a side branch. On the other hand, my mother was not allowed to meet her family members again. The number of times mother and father can meet up is also limited」
……the topic was a bit heavy. The way this is handled in Japan is similar to the the mainland. The larger companies tend to be family run companies and they treat bloodlines quite seriously. To have this result is already quite lenient.
「Aside from that, the main branch’s treatment towards us is quite good…it’s kind of those families. But this answer seems to have deviated from Sai’s original question, haha.」
「As I said, is it really ok to tell me something like this….」
「Of course, aren’t we friends?」
「But…this kind of things shouldn’t be so casually said to random people」
「I’m not that dumb. Also Sai, what about your family?」
「——Eh? Mine?」
「Yeah」
「Well….」
It’s not I don't want to tell you, but more like I don’t even know myself
「If you don’t want to tell me it’s ok, I’ll wait for the day you are ready to.」
Ah, this line! I always wanted to try say it! (TN: to a girl)
With my brain thinking over these strange things, I had no idea what would happen later that day.
舰C (Fleet collector idk which game) has autumn events! This author is going to be an admiral!
But it won’t affect the release dates
The volume might end after the next two chapters, since it’s just a backstory introduction~ the real story is going to begin soon
If I don’t change it tomorrow, then the next chapter is going to be 2-3 times longer than the other chapters I’m sad because of the extra length and so I shall leave you readers on this cliff for an unspecified length of time :)
Finally please give me tickets for the monthly rankings!
