Chapter 3, Epilogue
?Ladies and Gentlemen, this plane has left Narita International Airport. We are now entering cruising altitude. The estimate arrival time to Los Angeles International Airport is 11 a.m. and 10 minutes at December 16th Local Time. It is forecasted that the weather will be clear and the temperature will be 14 Celsius.?
*sigh*
Hearing the in-flight announcement, Sakura let out a sigh as she lightly threw her body back on the reclining seat.
Her sojourn full of upheaval in Japan had finished, and now she was inside the plane that would take her to Los Angeles where her husband was waiting for her.
She had stayed for one week. Her physical and mental fatigue that came from paying almost 40 million yen charges was wiped away by the business seat she used right now.
Of course she chose to receive half of the inheritance from her parents and became a rich person just like Yuuji.
?At any rate, it was so tiring...... I think it will be okay for me to live in luxury, right? There is no need to look at the card billing for this month.?(Sakura)
The weary Sakura persuaded herself. She was escaping reality. In any event, this tendency flowed in her blood.1
?But oniichan is in another world, right.....? I can’t meet with him, but if I think about it I haven’t seen him since the time I married George and decided to live in America. That’s true, yes that’s right. I can still exchange mail with him so I should be delighted that the lively oniichan from the past has returned.?(Sakura)
Sakura let loose a laugh. Although for these 10 years, she had distanced herself from her Hiki-neet brother, all of her best friends knew that she was a brocon.2
?Ah, young lady there, did something good happen to you in Japan??(Old Lady)
?Hey, she’s Japanese. She might not speak English, right??(Old Man)
A refined old couple, their age maybe in the late 50’s, who was seated across the aisle called out to Sakura in English. Sakura’s loose laugh might have touched the old lady’s heartstring.
?No, that’s alright, I can speak English just fine since my husband is American. As for the question, yes that’s right, something good did happen to me in Japan.?(Sakura)
?Ah, is that so? Then can I hear about what that thing is? Since you made such a laugh, it made me curious.?(Old Lady)
?Yes, that’s fine. But only a little, okay? To put it simply, my brother who was depressed for a number of reasons has become lively again. Right now he is actively having fun. That’s why I feel happy.?(Sakura)
?Ah, you made a another good smile. You really love your brother right??(Old Lady)
?That’s true..... I love my brother.?
Sakura said this while smiling cheerfully. Using ?Love? expression that is normally used between siblings in America, Sakura had been completely Americanized.
But she couldn’t mention his depression period, in other words the fact her brother shut himself in the house for 10 years.
?????????????????
?What a great snowstorm outside...?(Yuuji)
?It really is big! But since there is aircon it isn’t cold! It’s great, Yuuji-Nii!?(Alice)
Outside the living room, everything was blanketed by snow. The snow that was blown by the strong winds continued to draw diagonal white lines.
According to the calendar of the previous world, today was late February.
Yuuji didn’t know if this world had a general concept of ?calender?, but this winter showed no signs of stopping.
?I wonder how long this winter will continue for. I have enough of this immoderate season.... Alice, do you know how much longer until spring arrives??(Yuuji)
?Ummmmm, in the winter, a lot of snow falls in snowstorms so we can’t go outside, after that is over, just a little longer and the snow doesn’t fall anymore!?(Alice)
?Ooooo, Alice is smart?(Yuuji)
Yuuji said this and frolicked with Alice.
“Mou. The imouto in our house is so cute.” (Kotarou)
Kotarou also approached Alice and coiled around her.
?Alright Alice, since we can’t go out today, let’s study together!?(Yuuji)
?Un! Alice want to play the game with blib-blob numerals in the PC.? (Alice)
Yuuji was a rich person in Japan.
However, in this another world, he was only using the money to download entertainments like PC game softwares, ebooks, or manga.
There were other effective uses other than for entertainment, like purchasing child education software for Alice.
But, even if he was a rich person, Yuuji was still only a Yuuji.
Note:
1Please remember that Yuuji also likes to escape from reality.
2Brother Complex. Just like Miyuki from Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei
