I am placing the daughters + brother here for me honestly but also a reminder, I guess.
Nishi Yotsutsuji daughters.
The first daughter is Asahi (朝日)(Morning sun)
The second daughter is Mahiru (真昼)(Mid day)
third daughter named Yuudachi(夕立)(Evening Shower)Protagonist.(Yuu-chan)
The fourth daughter is Yoru.(夜留)(Night)
The older brother Souji.(奏時) Btw she is always using (私) from now on.
I don't even know why I keep these still here.I know them by heart now I am sure you do too.But whatever.It feels empty without it.

Time goes by fast when you are having fun.
The trip which was only supposed to last a week is already on the last day.
Since we are planning on heading home by this afternoon there we be no sightseeing today.We just stayed at the hotel and then head straight to the airport in the early morning.
I really enjoyed this week.
Everyday we went shopping and went to the beach, watched traditional performances and went to the beach , ate delicious food and went to the beach. . . .
In retrospect we almost only went to the beach.
If we did not use sunscreen it would have been a nightmare taking a bath.Perhaps this is the first time I truly see the great value of sunscreen. Thank you sunscreen-sama.
We were walking to the airport while I was reminiscing about all the events of this week.
The airport was really empty once we arrived.Because it is early in the morning there are hardly any people around.It is a real contrast to the crowded airports in Japan, even in the early mornings.
Because of that it’s completely silent.The only noise that accompanies us is the sound of our footsteps.
After passing the safety inspection we headed for the boarding gate.
It's time to return home.
We sat at the boarding section and waited patiently until the announcement came alerting us to board.
"Come.Everybody let's go."
Mahiru was rubbing her eyes while having her hand held by my father while he held the luggage in another.My mother was holding Yoru and Asahi who were in a similar state to Mahiru with both of her hands.
Because of their states, they are being watched.To make sure none of them trip,get lost or fall over.
I have a high tolerance for having a lack of sleep,probably due to my experiences in my past life. So I can walk just fine.They don't have to worry about me.
" . . . .Do you need to hold my hand?"
"No thanks."
However regardless of that Souji asked me with a pitiful look.I refused immediately.
". . . Is your pride just too high for it?"
"That's none of your business."
I glanced at Souji who had a gentle face. With compassionate eyes looking at me like I was just a rebellious kid.
I just want to smack that smirk off his face. . .But we managed to reach the airplane without any incidence .
"Fwaa. . . I am so tired for some reason . . ."
Thirty minutes of waiting in the plane and then we were back in the skies.
As soon as the airplane was at a steady pace Asahi,Mahiru and Yoru fell asleep.
Also when I looked closely Souji and unexpectedly my parents also had their eyes closed.
It's especially a rare sight to see my fathers sleeping face.
He has some wrinkles so you can see the age.But he is still as good looking as ever.
Well that’s all that was coming to mind that was so special from this opportunity.
Am I going to be the only one awake?
I looked around and because its first class there aren't any other people. It's just us.
The only noise in the room is the faint sleeping breathes.
For the meanwhile I was just watching the outside from the window,but I got bored pretty quickly as all I saw were just clouds.It was much more exiting the first time for me but it's rather boring the second time around.
*Yawn*
It's useless. I am already getting really tired. My eyes were getting heavier and heavier. . . .
. . . I can't. . .I'm going to fall asleep. . .
. . ."Fwaa!!?!"
I just remembered I forgot to by a souvenir for my classmate.Whoops .
". . .Well. . .Ah well. . ."
Although regrettable there is nothing I can do at this point. It's pointless to worry about it now,we are already miles in the sky.
But maybe I can buy something at the airport. . . .
That thought along with my conscious faded away. . .
"Good morning Yuu-chan. We are already home,you know?"
". . . .Eh?"
I shook my head awake, the first thing I saw was Mahiru.
At first it I didn't realize where I was but the meaning of her words gradually came to me.
". . . . Ahh. . .Well this is. . . "
I am in my room, lying down on my bed.
That means. . .
I couldn't buy the souvenirs. . .
"Well Yuu! Now it's time where you tell us what happened! ! !"
"Yuu-chan!"
"It's no good! I can't say yet."(「悪い！今は付き合ってられない」)(TN:not sure.)
I gave a light reply and headed toward my parents.( 連続して現れた二人に軽く返事を返して、両親の元へと向かった。)(TN:I don't know about this one either.)
"Well? What's wrong?"
"Well?. . ."
". . .Oh that’s right."
""Eh""
"Aschan,Yoru-chan. I want to talk but. . ."
"Dad! Mom! !"
"Yuudachi?"
"What's wrong?"
They were in the living room sorting out their luggage.
"- – -I see. So you?"
"Ah.It's alright.Because we bought several souvenirs while we were there. Here."
After listening to my worry my parents gave me a gentle smile a handed me wrapped president from several others.
"T-Thank You!!"
Fuu. . .My body feels light.
This is good.
By the way what the heck is this thing? It's actually pretty heavy.
Also I just realized I flew past Asahi and Yoru without saying anything at all. Will it be alright?
It's just one thing after another. . .
*Sigh*
I gave out one heavy sigh.
Meanwhile.
"By the way what souvenir did you give to Yuudachi?"
"It's a mask."
"Eh?"
"It's a local mask.A mask that’s used in traditional ceremonies. Isn't that cool?"
"Wait a second Yuudachi! She can't give such a strange thing as for souvenir gift."
"Strange thing?"
"It's a strange thing!"
A fuss was risen once Yuudachi left the room.
Hiya. Mamuni tangent time.
Made it before the 3 day mark,honestly was thinking I should just wait and post it in the morning so there would be less of a day delay cause I didn’t finish this chapter until now.But Nah. You guys get to read a late post.
Next chapter I’ll just say 3-6 days.With thanksgivings and other plans coming up kinda busy this week and weekend.So might take a bit longer, it’s a long chapter that’s why I say that. Man these chapter are getting longer,I remember the good old days when a chapter was 1 to 2 pages, now they are 6-7 pages.Can’t complain though I like the content,it just means that you guys need to wait a bit longer.
Also I want to say a massive thanks to Morakai or someone. (I get so confused when it’s left as someone,like did they not noticed/forget or do they want to be anonymous.Hopefully this is alright cause there is no irl name attached to it but they will know. I am overthinking this.)I was so shocked when I saw that donation,it took awhile for me to honestly realize what just happened. I have been trying to make sure I live up to all the support you guys give me by being a better translator. . . .Well is it better, have you noticed?
While where on it.It is thanksgiving.
I also want to thank the readers, yes you . You reading this right now .The only reason I do this is because of the community around these stories,It’s a real positive environment and funny community.So thank you everybody for commenting,interacting , liking and reading. ❤ Happy thanksgiving to those who celebrate it,and happy Thursday to everybody else. . . . .
. . . .Plus I’m thankful to the author for writing these but they won’t read this. Look at the tiny text humor ! 😀
