2-03: Troublesome Father and Son

（02-02 was already published this is number 03）

Holding his son for the first tihted

Lifting this s of life, he trembles

When a man protects the child hiood child

Froether with the wife, they took care of everything from start to finish

Changing diapers with inexperienced hands, cradling at night while crying

Unable to forget the appearance that grows day by day and the first time they say words

However, the man is the central pillar that supports the family

He does not only raise children

Instead, for the sake of the family, he shoulders the burden of more work

For that reason time with the family decreases and it becomes lonely but,

for the child to grow up honestly, the man is only able to do his best

The pa to his mother

As a ht that was just fine To be with and pa

Then as the father it would be up to s

Although busy ork, as a father I want to leave strong words with my son

Even as a mama’s boy, I want him to walk on the correct path

「Do unto others as you would have done unto you」

「Don’t do violent things No one likes to be hurt you know?」

「If there are people in trouble then help them」

「Take care of your mother」

Yes, I understand father

Once my imouto was born, there was the fact that I became an older brother

As the first born, I was trying to convey the respectable attitude of an older brother

「Because you are the older brother, protect them both」

「Weak power is okay

But the heart will not be defeated I will surely see that/show you」

「No matter what, you will be those twos ally」

「Help your mother take care of those two」

— Yes, I’ll do my best!

My child, within those few exchanges just nodded obediently, that is hoas

That is why, the man was convinced that he had become a proper father

It was ironic that thewas the moment he lost his son

My child was suddenly gone, and the days of happiness were no longer found

After thinking about his son for several days, he suddenly realized it

Certainly, I had taught s That was my intention

But I wonder, have I ever really listened to the words of my son?

It’s a parent’s self-indulgence to treat obedience as a good thing, only forcing an ideal ie upon them

The fact that I didn’t know my son’s own favorite food… The man was appalled

One he had lost his son he realized that he was a parent that knew nothing about his child

「Even though you don’t know anything about that child!」

The words of his ex-wife only just now hit him, it was just as she said

Without knowing anything about ive me

He didn’t realize howimpact that made on her

At that tih it was necessary to take care of calmly

The sin of taking away a son froe of heart and in the end caused the divorce

Furtherradually becarew

In those days of ignorance, if he only felt the gradual loss of his children

And finally once he had realized as happening a hole that time could not fill was created between him and his family

Such a pathetic, and useless father

A useless father that would only bring up the saain to the son who just came home

What should I have done? Exactly what kind of expression should I have shown?

I didn’t know anything I didn’t even try to know anything and I’ to have the face of a father now

Even with all of that, my current wife said

「Then isn’t it fine to just start learning now? Let’s start listening from now on」

────────────────────────────────

「I personally think being siood」

「No, no If it is going to be like that, then I think that aggressively pursuing is better」

「……………」

Father and step a discussion

While watching this fro at his feet

「Kyu, kyukyu」

Fro perplexed

「shi+nichi, don’t move!」

「That’s right, just stay still!」

「Ah, okay…」

We are at a certain tailor located on the street corner

Being forced into the fitting roo of the phrase

However, his clothes were not really changed, it was the clothes inside the ed

Going fro with the latest fashi+on going through a large variety

「…Whether it’s science orto blend」

「Kyu…Kyukyu」

Agreed, nodding without able to hold back laughter was just like her

Seeing herplayed around with by others was a rare occurrence

The fact that the other person was his father made it even weirder since she could not picture her master with a family

「You…laughing and s all you want, I’ll remember this」

He says this while looking annoyed, however looking like a dress up doll gives his expression no impact

It has been a week of holidays since being picked up by the new Nakamura house

The family had come with full force in order to pick out shi+nichi’s new set of clothes

After receiving theed outside

The Nakamura couple had an idea Or rather they were all fired up picking out his clothes

The first store chosen was the first other world shop open to the general public

Although there are soh the shop

There were no co rooms

In this store, by operating the console, you get to choose all the clothes and accessories

The ie of the clothes will be projected onto the person who had chosen the clothes in the fitting room

Figure, difference by height, this system has perfectly calculated and project onto the person

Naturally, fro the clothes so there is no tie clothes

Even if there are no goods exhibition spaces in the shop, you do not need to consider wastage because of trying those clothes

The goods that you bought will be sent from a warehouse in the outskirts and with this, you are free to choose whether you wish to wait in the shop to receive your goods or receive it at home

This is one fory in the fantasy world for the new shop

But fashi+onable or not, according to Rinko is unknown

「shi+nichi, which is better?

Froood but…」

The variations Father had chosen are jean shi+rts and border cut mix

“I think its okay to attack you like this”

The ones Rinko chose were a Black jacket and a black V- cut

“If you have any desires please speak up

I will acco as you like, for I am paid the entire day!”

“You don’t need to worry about ”

“Kyaahaa!”

For some reason, the couple puffed out their chests

Both parents embraced shi+nji and it felt kind of pleasant

But, with the wife’s words, one can see her husband’s expression beco crestfallen

“E…Eeehh…”

However, he is a guy who originally had no interest in fashi+on

As ainto the si asked for my opinion

In order not to have any special wishes, in regards to the clothes chose for me, I have no comments

“That one is a little exposed”

However, not saying anything is also spoiling thein mind that I do not wish to stand out, I spoke out

If I were to say frankly, that V-cut is too deep Therefore, it’s a little e

“Mu, i see Well, Even if it is seen, there is no probleht it was okay”

I tensed up during her close inspection Well, I felt that even if I was found out, it wouldn’t be a problem, if the person herself felt indifferent about it

shi+nichi who had feelings of guilt quickly withdreith a strange look on his face

「That、If possible, I’

Just norood Ah, no, that…… I want to knohat the current “normal” is」

「…………」

「…………」

「Oh, no, that’s not what I mean!」

In an instant, I made the husband and wife’s faces harden and their way of speaking became hurried

You don’t have to “think about it anything” Just continue on with your “ignorant” ordinary lives

「Y-you’re right, we need to start from here」

「A, ah…… yes, let’s start-over from here」

Those two are noing obvious aard smile

As if I didn’t feel guilty enough, my conscience took control

And once again the boy is discourage

「Kyu……kyuu……」

This was indeed a dumfounded situation, she couldn’t help but be worried

The Naka the clothes, and made their way home

shi+nichi is currently wearing the clothes which his father had for the, 8 years later, him

The clothes he is wear is baggy and oversized They were purchased for the adult hied 2 years

Rinko had selected it, it is based on the present day fashi+on

Although, after the exchanged the clothes fashi+on hasn’t changed much

The fa of uneasiness about this neorld

「…………」

If this were anywhere else he would still have suspicion

Nevertheless, I walk exactly one step behind Rinko and everyone I observe our surrounding, and anticipate potential ambushes

「shi+nichi, is there so?」

「e, ah, eh…… there doesn’t seem to be any problems, I think」

I try to give a response that would assure her

As best as I could, I gave a reply that didn’t seem suspicious

The don area they visited is slightly far away from the place shi+nichi used to live at

Although, this place is still the location they used to shop at

It seems that is the case

「She is quite fashi+onable In the beginning of the parallel world boom, the number of traditional shop decreased」

At first the shop here weren’t how they are now

The coe had to be altered to suit us before it could be useful

The town he know froer he found

「……… I see Is it really all that different froo?」

And thus the things and places he knew of 8 years has all but leave him behind

The amount of time that has passed for shi+nichi is definitely that of 8 years

And during that tireat influence on the world he had returned to

The materials are different As he looks at the walls of the building he can’t help but feel unease

「Are you feeling left behind shi+nichi?」

「Eh, ah, such things I……」

「There is no need to hold back Father also felt the same way, surely you are lonely, I am certain」

As nobuhiko sees the face of his son who is gazing at the town, he can’t help but meddle

Without being too inconsiderate he tries to change the mood

shi+nichi felt that he had to return his father’s thoughtfulness

「Am I sad? perhaps Either way……… I am, still the one who is left behind」

It was difficult to properly expressmaturely

Who can say it? For someone who only think us themselves

Especially to a father as happy with his return

“Now that I have returned, I’m unsure of how I feel”

And

I feel as if I have gotten lost in another world at another time, in a different place

If this is true than I can’t help but feel sad and lost

He tries to change his expression as to deceive himself

「It is so……」

「It will be alright, you just need to keep ht, nobuhiko, shi+nichi」

「Ah, ahah」

「Yeah, your right」

The siure of the two, father and son, can be seen with their head slightly downcasted

A sense of duty had awaken inside her I ht to herself

「Well, it is decided Let’s first see where is path will take us!」

My first step will be getting familiar with this town

As I proudly proclaim I forcibly take the hand of my step-son

「Wait, a moment, Rinko-san!?」

「First do you want to know about the train station? Or would you like to know a good place for teenagers to hangout and eat?」

「Uh, well you see」

「Leave it to ot married!」

Afterward, shi+nichi tries to convince her to stop, but she doesn’t respond to his cries

nobuhiko give a wry sed around

「Haha, your ht」

「Umm?」

The baby in my arms, makes a du

It is a pleasant scene, seeing a father following his wife, who is leading the son along

「……soic」

This bossy Rinko is attractive, the ht to himself

I exchange glances with the person in

「Kyu?」

With a low voice he shake his head “Leave him alone” said

While acting as he was looking around he was looking at street, looking for anything different

To say he didn’t feel anything would be a lie but what he though was different

He rasp the location of the people that were following (……) them

… Altogether there was around 15 people

He understood his unique position

The child ent o came back after 2 years That by itself is mystery

Even with the global search plan couldn’t find him, but he returned last month

Of course it is natural for one or two supervisors to be tasked withhim

At some point he beca as they don’t do anything excessive

Rather it was problem for the people that plans to raise hand at him with his unique position

It was unpleasant, but Rinko asn’t his blood relative was trying to protect (……) him

He didn’t want to hurt her feelings by ruining her hard work

Yes, he knew that Rinko was the one who ordered surveillance on him

She would want to use it to protect herself

Because in that place no one noticed the white mask that was there

Afterwards

Until the sun had set they wandered around the town

On occasions before reaching the Station we took several opportunities toshop at various stores along the way

There was the steak restaurant Rinko had rated highly A store clerk was shouting out recoood an all-you-can-eat restaurant for a family dinner

After they had finished their shopping, they returned home in the afternoon

「Ah, shi+nichi-kun did you open the door with your key?」

I held a bag in one hand and shi+nji in the other

The hand that held the bag was the same hand Rinko had entrusted the key to

nobuhiko was in the e, when I was in the process of opening the door

I rejected his counsel, because I was holding luggage

The key that he received, is a cylinder lock type, it can display an ie of this street

The tip is still the sanition device

Without a registered fingerprint the door won’t unlock

Currently, in japan this “type of key used at my home” is popular it seems

「That, errr, was I not supposed to open it? 」

There wasn’t the typical feeling of a lock being opened, the key activated because of istered

「Ah, sorry

To prevent crimes, the security system found it necessary to alert the homeowner

The front door also needs voice recognition, please say so」

「Eh, is…… anything fine?」

「What does one say, when they return home?」

I arin on their face

The wry simile seems to imply “that ell done”

「………I’m, home」

Although I was a little embarrassed, the key shi+nes and the door opens

As is if it was proclai, this is shi+nichi’s house

「Yes, welcome home!」

Rinko pushes him from behind
