Chapter 5 : Home

#

"Hey get out we've arrived, and wipe that stupid grin off your face! it's giving me the creeps"

"Young love huh"

Well aren't we the same age Yu? Why are you snickering? hey hey don't give me that look.

"Akira-nii looks like a girl in love. ~giggles~"

even young nanako is joining in, damn you guys.

so we've arrived at uncle ryo's house but something feels off. yes off.

"is this your house?"

"yeah why? oh yeah you haven't visited me in sometime, you wouldn't know, i got myself a deal so i just bought this house"

well... damn, if i remember his house should be a small 2 story house but this is just different.

His house is a 3 story building with a big garage, and it even has a nice garden in front. it has modern japanese architecture with a white paint. damn its huge.

"Come on let's get you settled in, your first day of school is tomorrow right, we don't have all day."

as we get yourself settled in, it seems that i have a general layout of the floor.

The first floor is a living room, kitchen, and guest reception area.

The 2nd and third floor is a living area consisting of bedrooms, the second floor has 3 guest rooms, one of them is mine. The third floor is where uncle ryo and nanako sleep and apparently it's divided into an indoor area and outdoor area, the outdoor area has a great view and a single basketball hoop.

"Okay, I have heard both of your situations, and I am here to tell you that I will only provide you basic necessities, like a room and food."

we are sitting in the kitchen on the first floor. nanako is watching tv, so she wouldn't hear our conversation

"Meaning that you won't get an allowance from me, I've talked to your mother Akira and she approves. that goes for you too Yu. there's a lot of opportunities here for you, so i hope you can live up to their expectations."

"I usually work from morning until 5, but because i'm the police chief there's always something that prevents me from coming home on time, so I hope you guys can understand. But since today's my day off, I'll take you guys out for dinner get prepared, we're leaving in 30 minutes."

sigh, i sigh silently in my head, what's the use of being born in a rich family if i cant use their assets for myself. god damn it. oh well let's not dwell on it. i have a few ideas on writing novels but let's see.

I immediately searched for famous work in my previous life. SA*, K*n*suba, and Dem*n Slayer. ah it seems like there's none, but to my surprise there is a knockoff of hunter x hunter, one piece, and even naruto. although with minor differences. hmmm i think this plan is viable. I should start writing tonight.

as i have those idle thoughts, Junes theme song seems to play and nanako is happily singing it along, as i turn my head towards Yu, i can see him staring at nanako intently. Damn siscon.

"Fresh sashimi is the best"

"Yep!"

"Thank you for the meal Uncle"

"Thanks Uncle Ryo!"

After filling our bellies with fresh sashimi, we came back to our home.

"Don't stay up late, remember you have school tommorow."

Nanako immidietly retires to her room, and do I. my room is a standard japanese bedroom, which consist of one bed, one study table, and a wardrobe.

As I had planned, I sat down and started writing my novel. Which I am shamelessly ripping off. SAO, I will keep the name. I remember the general plot line but the fine details are lost to me. I think I'll create a few versions and decide which one is the best after.

After quite a while I finally feel like I've gotten the general feel and direction down for SAO. but only the first half of the chapter, i feel like there's still something missing. maybe I'll refine it later. as i tried to get up from my seat i looked at my surroundings.

It's a mess, a lot of paper is scrapped because either I don't like the initial draft or because I don't like the direction it was going. After tidying up all of the waste, I fell down to my bed, tired.

Before sleeping, I remember to set an alarm on my phone, and I almost forgot, I sent a message to Nami.

=Hey this is the guy who asked for your number I'm new in this town and was wondering if you're free tomorrow? maybe we could hang out then.=

and Send.

Wait She's a goddess right, I'm pretty sure that gods don't use phones though.

thinking about those things, i drifted asleep.
