Chapter 41 Thus, Their Same Names

 

Special thanks for every patron!

[Patrons: Patrick F, Christiine G, Matthew T, Taimee S]

I guess I’m sticking with this pop-up button cat. I managed to somehow make it work and tricked the aggregator site! As usual, you know what to do to read the actual chapter.

 
Without noticing me who had settled, Salyu stepped on “a”. I heard something pleasing that voice, but it sounds subtle as it seems to be troublesome. “Shikino’s father? Did you come?” “Oh, Saruu, have you come home. Looks fine and more than anything.” Looking at the face of Salyu, Mr. Director, who is closely resembling … …, he who speaks spontaneously. That person who resembled his voice was wearing a red vest with embroidery on a clothing like a relaxed gown. Except for that, they are really similar, though. What is it that Salyu called him, Shikino ‘s father? He is Shikino Toya, the current owner of Shikino’s house. With the same name as the four seasons winter festival innocent who raised me. ……The same face. “…… っ” It was caught. Strangely disgusting. Somehow, I feel like I saw something I can not see. Just then my mom comes over and my father comes out. Perhaps, this person came out to see me off.
I will do my best and make a smile to my parents and brothers, who flew away in a panic. Because Mr. Minow supported from the back side, it did not become unbearable that he would fall down in front of others. Yesterday the carriage is drunk, so no one doubts my excuse. However, something is hard. The body seems to be good, so it seems she came mentally. Where I managed to rebuild my post, the person who had the same face as Mr. Director turned over again to me. Wow, it looks like serious. I also like the color of my hair, eye eyes, mouth, and physique. Although I can not see the color of the eye from this distance. “Oh, maybe you are Sister Milan, Mondo.” “… …. Yes, it’s a cute daughter who finally came back to the mansion in the spring.” The reply was made by my father in place. I’m supposed to be “a weak girl”, so there is nothing wrong with being told so. However, perhaps, he may know that he is not. But I was “I got better, so I came back to the mansion.” So, I have to go through a greeting properly. I can not make everyone a nuisance. “Siren, my name is … Nice to meet you. Please, please leave your knowledge.” “…… Yeah, nice to meet you, we are the principal owner of the Shikino family, Toya, please, please let us know.” Just pick up the end of the skirt exactly as you taught Mr. Kwon, and give thanks a little. What was returned for that greeting was a self introduction perfectly as a stranger. Oh, good. This person is not Mr. Director. However, it is just another person who seems totally similar. But, they are too similar, feeling bad. Maybe they are always there because they always noticed it, Mr. Oriza and Mr. Minow. “Seirene-sama? Oh, it looks like a bit tough, hey, let’s enter the room.” “Well, I’m sorry, Seiren seems to have been badly moderated, so please excuse me, Mr. Kuon, could you come with me?” “Okay, I will excuse you, the owner of Shikino”

 

CLICK ME!

 
“What a pitiful creature…”

Upon hearing that voice, I opened my eyes.
Ara? Didn't I die? I am pretty sure my skull was cracked… or something like that.

It’s pitch black…. with a specter of white in front of me.
Eh? Was the voice…. this thing’s?

“Who or what are you? Are you God?”
“… Something like that.” it vaguely responded.
Whoa, what a vague response, Is this some kind of scam?
"No, missy, this is not a scam!"
"!!" EH?! It can read my mind?! So it really is God! In that case—

“Don’t worry, I won’t make any complaint to you regarding my life. I thank you enough for granting my wish to end my life. So can you let me sleep in peace now? Or make me disappear already. Whichever you prefer, I don't mind.”

Inside my mind, suddenly a pop out sound effect just like that of a game appeared.
☆Special Event [Meeting with God] has triggered!
☆Achievement unlocked [The Long Awaited Death]!
Uwaa– have I spent too much time playing games… it's scary.

“What? No way I can do that! You have endured such a life and even gave your life in order to save the others. Besides, what killed you was a result of my miscalculation during my experiment with the meteorite… How can I not give you my compensational reward for that?”

Uhm… so… were you so bored you had to play with… A METEORITE?!
That's taking games to another different level, you know… if I were to say it, it's totally on God's level!
And wait, so the thing that actually killed me was a meteorite? That… is pretty cool. Hooray for my anti-mainstream death!

I hurriedly return from my own exasperation. It would be rude to keep God waiting, right?
“Reward?”
“Yeah, so I will let you reincarnate. If you do not reincarnate, you will just vanish like that. Poof! Reincarnate, or disappear! The answer is obvious, right? Ask away anything you want from me. I cannot give you much such as cheat to make yourself way too overpowered, etc, non, non! That is cheating! I have had enough of those reincarnated with cheats! However, I will grant you one power you wish! How does that sound?”

….
Honestly, is this some kind of a joke?
This is not funny… not the slightest bit!!

Without noticing me whose body stiffened, Saryuu said, "Ah," and stepped forward. His voice sounded somewhat happy yet at the same time tiresome, and I heard that his voice was quite doubtful.

"Shikino's Tou-sama1? So, you've come as well?"

"Ooh, Saryuu, you've come home. It's good that you look lively."

Looking at Saryuu's face, the director… I mean, the person whose appearance is similar to him, intimately greeted Saryuu. The person whose voice is even similar to him, comfortably wore clothes resembling a gown with an embroidered red vest on top of it. If he removed that, I bet he'd look very similar to the director.

'Shikino's Tou-sama,' is that how Saryuu called him?

That person is the current head of the Shikino family, Shikino Touya2.

He has the same name as the orphanage director, Shikino Touya3, who raised me.

…Also, the same face.

I feel dizzy. And strangely, it feels unpleasant.

For some reason, I felt like I was seeing something I shouldn't be seeing.

Precisely at that time, Kasan, and then Tou-san also came out. Perhaps, they came out to see this person off.

"Oh my, Saryuu, you've returned? Seiren, too… what's wrong?"

"Seiren? Did something happen?"

"Seiren-sama?"

"Ane-sama?"

"I, I'm fine. I slightly felt sick from the journey in the carriage, perhaps."

Towards my parents and my younger brother who rushed off to me in a panic, I tried my best to show them a smile. Since Minosan supported my back from the side, I didn't end up showing an unsightly appearance by collapsing in front of other people. Yesterday, I fell sick due to the carriage journey, so there won't be anyone who would doubt my excuse.

However, I felt a somewhat intense sensation. Since my body is fine, it seems like my mental state was the cause of it.

By the time I managed to somehow rearrange my posture, the one person whose face is exactly the same as the orphanage director deliberately turned over to face me. Whoa, they really look alike. Even their hair color, the expression of their eyes, their mouths, even their physiques are all exactly the same. Although with this current distance, I can't see his eye color.

"Oh? Could you be Seiren-ojousama, Mondo-dono?"

"…Yeah. She is my adorable daughter who finally managed to return home this spring."

Tou-san gave him the answer in my stead. Since I'm supposed to be [the daughter with frail body], so there won't be any problem even if he said so. However, could it be that this person knew that it wasn't exactly the case?

But, since I [was getting better, so I returned home]. That's why, I need to properly deliver my greetings. I can't afford being a burden to everyone.

"I'm Seiren. How do you do. Pleased to make your acquaintance."

"…Yeah, how do you do. I'm serving as the head of Shikino family, my name is Touya. Pleased to make your acquaintance."

I properly pulled the hem of my skirts, as Kuon-sensei instructed, and slightly bowed down. The way he returned my greetings in a similar manner, it was like the introduction between two complete strangers.

Ah, I'm glad. This person isn't the director. He's just someone who's similar to him.

However, since they are too alike, it frankly made me feel unpleasant. The ones who actually noticed it were Orizsan and Minosan, perhaps because they have always been by my side.

"Seiren-sama? Ah, you look a little bit tired, let's return to your room."

"That's right. Please excuse us, Seiren-sama's health slightly deteriorated, so we will be taking our leave right now. Kuon-sensei, will you please come along with us?"

"Understood. Well then, please excuse me, Shikino family's Lord."

Orizsan smoothly proceeded the conversation. While smiling, she grasped my hand.

Minosan also answered, and together with Kuon-sensei, they circled their hands to support my back. With that, somehow I felt relieved. Just like that, I headed towards the entranceway with everyone's support.

I think that my parents might be making an anxious expression, but in order to send Touysan off, they stayed in that spot. Saryuu, too, since it was his own biological father, he didn't come with me. It can't be helped though, yup.

As it is, I somehow returned to my own room. Minosan and Kuon-sensei put me down on the bed, and examined my complexion. When Kuon-sensei's hand touched my forehead, it was somewhat cold and felt good.

"It doesn't seem to be a fever… Seiren-sama, are you okay?"

"Yes, somehow."

"Oriza is taking some drinks right now. Do you have anything you want to have?"

"…Ah-, I want something warm so it could somehow relieve me."

"Understood. Kuon-sensei, please take care of Seiren-sama for a little while."

"I understand."

After they finished their exchange, Minosan left me in Kuon-sensei's care and left the side of my bed half-running. And, Kuon-sensei once more examined me unblinkingly. Well, I understand her feelings, though.

"Did something happen?"

"…Uhm, the face, look alike."

I couldn't get the words out correctly. With just that, it's no wonder if she can't understand my words. Aah but, I can't really mention his name, but if I don't say it, then she won't get what I mean.

"I have returned. Seiren-sama, Saryuu-sama has also come."

And, at that moment, I heard Minosan's voice. So fast, so I thought, but that's right, she returned right after she conveyed my request to Orizsan. Anyhow, she met Saryuu, huh.

Saryuu, eh. Did he come here because he wanted to hear the story from me?

After taking one trip around the farm, we are now going to visit the farm's workshop that produced the cheese and butter.

Different from the other world, we are not being told about trivial details such as wash your hands properly or wear a white coat on top of your clothes, but I'm still doing them just in case. In any case, it's because we are handling things that can be eaten.

 
 

"Seiren-samaa, here, a handkerchief."

"Ah, sorry, and thank you, Orizsan."

I used the handkerchief that she gave me to cover my mouth. It would be bad if my cough contaminated the food. It would cause the cheese to go to waste.

The butter's ingredient was put into a container with a big lid, and it was greatly jolted. Since it's hard to shake it with bare arms, from what I can discern, the container seems to be jolted with magic power.

"Is it magic, Gadou-san?"

"That's correct. This way, we can preserve the same quality for all of our products."

I see. I thought that it was a method used anywhere else, but well, so long as it's a convenient and safe method, then it's good. After all, it's quite a terrible thing to have the ground jolted like this.

Anyway, at the cafetaria next to the workshop, they let us to taste a sample of the cheese and butter. There are also some baked breads that the neighboring family sold and some goat's milk too. This feels nice, it's kinda heartwarming.

Once I gulped down the cheese, ah, I thought of something. Godou-san's cheese got a heavy flavor, but when it was added to this morning's salad, the flavor perfectly went well with the fresh vegetables, but Gadou-san's cheese can be eaten as it is just fine.

"It's true. It really is different than Godou-san's cheese."

"Isn't it? That's good, Ane-sama also understands it."

You look so happy, Saryuu. Yes, well, with this, you will be able to understand how different they taste once you've eaten it. Since they are brothers, I thought that they'd be able to make it taste similar, but the cheese tasted totally different.

"I think that Gadou-san's cheese tastes light. Saryuu seems to like the one with heavy flavor."

"Yes. Light flavor is also fine, but I guess I just like the one with heavy flavor more."

"Both Saryuu-sama and Seiren-sama possess good tongue. Thank you for being able to clearly state the difference."

Gadou-san also nodded happily. Not only Godou-san's cheese, but perhaps the taste of the cheese will turn out different, depending on who's making them. Well, that's the thing with handmade products.

"I also like this one. It would be nice to have Gadou-san's products stocked up, too, and both of the products can be used properly, depending on what type of cuisine is being made."

"Understood. First, let's buy it in small stock, and then let's try to discuss it with the lord and chefs."

"Yeah. If Seiren-ojousama said so, then it was worth making all o this."

It's good that Minosan simply nodded, but I was somehow surprised by the fact that Gadou-san looked extremely happy.

No, I mean, it isn't something that can be exaggeratedly celebrated… I think. I'm just the feudal lord's daughter, that's all.

…Although I was quite embarrassed, I properly ate everything. The butter that was smeared on top of the bread tasted refreshing, and I thought that it was possible to eat the food with a lot of this butter with the way it tasted.

The breads over here have solid flavor, but it felt like the butter enhanced and supported the flavor. Unexpectedly, it can also be toasted, but… I wonder if it won't burn the breads that were once baked? I've never seen it ever since I came here, though.

So, we bought the cheese and butter that I liked as souvenirs, and left behind the farm.

Looking at Gadou-san and Gonzou-san who came to send us off without knowing, I let out a small laugh. This little one, I wonder if he's in his cool down period after he came running here? Somehow, he has a refined face.

"Well then, thank you very much for coming."

"Thank you. I had so much fun here."

"No, don't mention it. Seiren-sama and Saryuu-sama, please come and play here again. Kuon-sama is also welcomed."

"Yes. I hope that my grandfather will be able to come here too, next time."

Saryuu and I, then Kuon-sensei and Gaou-san exchanged words. Wouldn't it be nice for Jigen-san to come here even for once?

"Mee, mee."

"Gonzou. Please train hard until next time."

"Meeeeeee!"

 
 

(T/N: Damn, Gonzou is cute. I want to keep him.)
 

 
"Seiren-sama, Saryuu-sama. We're leaving soon-"

"Thank you. Well then, shall we go?"

At the cue from Orizsan who's finished with the preparation of the carriage, we started to move. Just like how it was when we went here, us siblings and Kuon-sensei got on different carriages than the maids, and we departed.

"Please come back soon, take care!"

Towards Gadou-san's voice that seemed to be quite reluctant to part ways with us, I slightly bent myself towards the carriage window and waved my hand.

…And no, thanks.

I am not the kind of protagonist in stories like that.

By no means, I have never considered myself a main character of any story. A person like me is suited to just be a boring side character that will easily be forgotten. After all, I hold no interesting value. I am not a likeable person, either.

That's why, my answer is obvious.

“It sounds more like a punishment to me, so I will pass. Please, just let me rest in peace already,” I sighed, and I proceed to lie down on the nothingness.

Fumu, so you can actually lie down here, eh? That is pretty nice. I love this afterworld already.

“Eh?”

I heard a surprised voice.

Uh, no wonder. If you plan on making someone the main character of the typical reincarnation story, definitely cross me out. God, you should have known better than anyone…

“Don’t you… have any other wish?”

I cannot see any facial expression from the light, yet I get the feeling that God feels a bit dejected. Or is it just my feeling?

Hmm, if this will be the last story of me, then I guess I can ask something, right?

After all, I cannot deny the fact that I am curious of something…

“About my cell donation… how is it going? Are there people who feel glad by it? Have I saved anyone? Was my existence meaningful?” I asked.

“Ho ho… I see, so you are curious about that, eh,” I see the spectre of light wavering—no, flickering– as it laughed.

“Yes. You said I can wish for one thing.”

“Ah yeah. Wouldn’t it be great if you find it out by yourself?”

“Eh?”

How in the world would it be possible to do so?

Is it going to show me the fate of my cell donations? Whoa, this light is God, after all!

Let me guess : it's gonna be shown like how cinemas show movies, right?

Viva God!

“Yosh, it’s been decided! Ahoy, aboard to the reincarnation train!”

…wait, what?

Excuse me, God… Hello? Earth to God?

"Go and enjoy life!" said God, making use of the time I spent being dumbfounded by the development.

WHAAAAAT?! NO, THIS IS NOT WHAT I WANT!

WHO. EVER. SAID. THAT. I. WANT. TO. BE. REINCARNATED?!

Someone, please give God a common sense!

I am about to voice out my objection with a loud voice—and I want to try to point my hand at the light—just because… I want to try the pose of my favorite character from a certain video game…

But apparently, I have no chance to do so.

The darkness quickly melts away as I am being pulled by force—an unknown force—towards a source of light—the world, I presume?

"YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!"

–is the last sentence I managed to shout with my last energy.

 

Inside the rattling and moving carriage, I tasted the smoked cheese that's among the souvenirs we bought. Oh, it smelled like chips, it felt nice. Tou-san, how about drinking sake with this?

"Seiren-sama, is it delicious?"

"Ah, yes. Since the original cheese tastes refreshing, when it's made into a smoked food, it smelled of wood and felt nice."

(T/N: Seriously, Seiren? O.O I can't really imagine that kind of smell for food…?)

"Hee. May I taste it?"

"Sure. Kuon-sensei should try this too, eat it."

"Oh my, is that alright? Then, I'll do so without any hesitation."

It's not like they are for me to monopolize, though. When I give them to Saryuu and Kuon-sensei, the two of them put one piece each to their mouth and then opened their eyes as if they were astonished by the taste.

"Oh my. This might be a delicious accompanion to sake."

"I guess I can also eat it during study break…"

Yosh, seems like they also like it. It also feels nice to know that it's bit-sized that can be easily picked up to eat, the smoked cheese.

So, I was taking another piece into my mouth. When I was chewing it, Saryuu's line of sight matched mine.

"Ane-sama, did you have fun at the farm?"

"Yes, it was a lot of fun. The horses and the goats are both very adorable."

"Eh?"

The moment the word "horse" left my mouth, Saryuu pulled his body back, but it's understandable why.

Well, it's not like I don't understand his feelings, but there is no need to react like that… or well, I guess I can say that because I've never been nudged by a horse.

"Nah, I mean, aren't they cute enough when you see them?"

"I, is that so. I just don't want to get that close to them, though."

…Ah-, he's turning blue. With this, I think I won't ever see Saryuu riding on top of a horse, I guess.

Taigsan looked perfectly cool so I thought that Saryuu would also look cool when he's mounting a horse.

"Saryuu-sama. If you can overcome your fear of horses, you might be able to give Seiren-sama a ride, you know?"

"Eh?"

When Kuon-sensei whispered those words, Saryuu's movement instantly stopped. No, please wait a moment, why me?

"Yo, yosh, then I will do my best!"

"Wait, Saryuu. Are you okay with me being your riding companion? Perhaps some other girl would be better…"

Towards my younger brother who easily got motivated, I thrusted my comment in a panic.

After all, the one who will be riding the horse together with you when you've gone through all the efforts to conquer the trauma is your big sister, how would that play out?

"Because I have never really associated myself with other women except for Kasama, Nee-sama, and the maids."

"…So it's like that?"

"That's right. Although I think that so long as you go out to the city, there will be ladies whose age are close to Saryuu-sama."

Both Saryuu and Kuon-sensei said that with an expression that seemed to say, 'isn't that obvious?'. Ah-, well, there are no things such as schools and part-time jobs like the other world, huh. With that, there are no chances of associating with people from the opposite gender.

…But hey, I went to school and worked part time, but I only had a few friends. Isn't that no good?

"Well, I guess there are various reasons…"

I sighed a bit and continued to chew the remaining cheese inside of my mouth.

While we are all noisily chattering with one another, the carriage finally arrived back at the villa.

When I got down with Saryuu's help, I saw another carriage that I've never seen before, stopping by in front of the villa. It is similar to the one we're riding on today, but that carriage is colored in black with golden plant pattern painted on it. Ah-, for some kind of reason, it reminded me of a bowl or stacked food boxes. I think that my way of thinking is quite poor.

Anyway, the villa's front door was opened, and there was a person coming out of it. The person was a middle-aged man with quite a sturdy body, and.

Upon taking a look at that person's face, I froze on the spot.

"…!"

The orphanage director?

Why is this person here, at this kind of place?

"Come in."

"Yes. Please come on in, Seiren-sama has given her permission."

"Thank you. Nee-sama, are you alright?"

Just right after hearing my answer, Saryuu leaped in my room as if he was brushing Minosan aside. Kuon-sensei stared in her amazement, perhaps it was due to my giving my little brother the permission to enter the room under this condition, I guess.

"Anyway, Saryuu, has father returned?"

"Yes. Uhm, did something happen?"

"You visited right now just to ask that, right?"

Kuon-sensei answered Saryuu and slightly moved sideways. And my little brother smoothly slipped into the empty space she made. His expression as he peered in my face—yup, he's extremely worried.

"Their faces completely look alike. Their voices, too."

Feeling calmer after looking at Saryuu, I finally managed to spit that out. Somehow or another, they should be able to comprehend it, right?

"Completely alike? …ah, could it be."

After thinking for a moment, Saryuu raised his surprised face. He managed to properly realize it.

I guess it's because he already knew the fact about their same names. However, I still appreciate him for understanding what I meant.

"Similar to Shikino Touya who's raised Nee-sama, is it?"

"…yes."

Look. I'm glad, I don't know if it's just my luck, but I managed to make Saryuu understand it.

Now that I think about it, I haven't told this to Sensei and my maids. It's somewhat hard to say.

Because of that reason, Kuon-sensei had this wondering expression, as she exchanged her look between me and Saryuu.

"Shikino, Touya4?"

"The person who's raised me until I returned to Shiiya family. He's called Shikino Touya."

As I managed to mention his name even when I almost chewed on my tongue, Kuon-sensei and Minosan who was besides her, widened their eyes.

"He has the same name as the head of Shikino family? Oh my, my."

"Is that true, Seiren-sama?"

"Although I don't have any evidence, but I'm certain. They both have the same names, same faces, and same voices. Since he was like my foster parent for 18 years, I clearly remember him."

Ah-, I somehow couldn't bear to look at their expressions. I reflexively shifted my gaze towards my arms.

I couldn't be crying right now, right? Although it's not the first time it happened, but it was the voice and face that I missed.

"…It couldn't be possible."

I understand what Saryuu muttered.

Having the same names, similar faces, and voices that sounded alike. Although their worlds are separate, but there are two people with exact similarities.

Although they couldn't possibly be the very same person, no matter how you think about it.

"Yeah, generally speaking, it shouldn't be possible. However, since we have come to this conclusion, I can't help but to think that there's something behind it."

Minosan said with a lower voice than her usual one, however she still clearly said that. I spontaneously removed my gaze from my arms and looked at her face.

She is not like her calm self even when she was confronting Gonzou, right now, she's having a completely tensed expression.

Kuon-sensei, too, is gazing with her cold stare that she normally didn't show, and I turned around to examine everyone's expression.

"Saryuu-sama. I and everyone else will be careful, but you should be more careful, as well. Although I think it might be hard for you to do, since he is your biological father."

"No. My father is Shiiya Mondo."

Although Saryuu said so, but his expression was filled with uneasiness. I can understand, since he is his father by blood.

And that father of his, has something peculiar going on. At least he has the same figure and the same name as the person who raised me.

I'm sorry for involving you in such a trouble.

"…Sorry. I…"

"It's fine. Since Nee-sama [has a weak constitution], right?"

Referring to the ostensible reason as to why I didn't show myself to the public for the last 18 years, my younger brother who was supposed to be a child, smiled at me.

When that expression suddenly overlapped with Taigsan's face, I was slightly surprised. Why would that person's face come to my mind?

…It's because he is Saryuu's older brother. Perhaps, that's why.

"Seiren-samaa, I'm bringing in the soup you requested-"

At the slightly idiotic tone of voice that Orizsan, who didn't listen to our conversation, let out, the tension we had from having that serious conversation was quickly interrupted all at once. I see, so she made me a soup.
