章節 28: Long Awaited Conversation
(Mother, it's me.)
(DAICHI!? WHERE ARE YOU!?)
After my first words, I was instantly bombarded with a question regarding my location. This clearly show just how worried was she when I went missing in that world.
(I don't know if you would believe this, but I am in another world.)
(STOP LYING AND TELL ME WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW!! IF YOU WERE KIDNAPPED, DON'T WORRY, WE'LL CALL THE POLICE TO TRACK YOU!!)
Hearing her loud voice made me realize just how much I meant to her. I wonder if my siblings are doing okay knowing that their beloved brother went missing during his birthday.
(Calm down mother, it's alright. I haven't been kidnapped by anyone.)
If you call being spirited away by a God kidnap, then you might be sentenced with divine punishment. Jokes aside, I really want to calm my mother down before something bad happens like her fainting suddenly.
(Just calm down mother, because I am calling you right now, it means that I am safe so stop worrying about my safety. If you want, I'll video call you to let you see I am safe.)
(… Fuuhhh. Sorry, for acting like that. Anyway, where have you been? It's been a month since you went missing when you were on your way home from school on the day of your birthday.)
… Hmm…? What did she say?
(Excuse me, but could you repeat that please, about the part when I went missing.)
(Okay, it was during the time when you were on your way home from school on the day of your birthday, why do you need to ask?)
This is strange. I am sure that I was transported to this world when I made a wish after blowing the candle. Even though to me, it was pretty childish to do that sort of thing when you are already a grown-up, but seeing that my parents weren't taking no for an answer, I reluctantly blew the candle, and while I was at it, made the same wish I made during my previous birthdays. I didn't expect it to work, but somehow, because of the grace of a God, my wish was fulfilled.
(No, nothing serious.)
I avoided the topic I asked myself by shrugging it off.
(Anyway, what time is it now?)
(Wait, let me check… It is 6:23, why do you need to ask?)
As I thought, there was discrepancy between the time on Earth and here.
(I just wanted to know because the time here is different by a huge margin.)
(… Are you in another country?)
Of course, when there is a time difference back on Earth, and I think it also applies in this world, usually you are in a different place. But when there is a huge gap between the time… most likely you are in a different country so I can't blame my mother for asking that question. That said, she didn't believe me when I said I was in another world, and I believe that if someone said that to me over the phone, I would think they were lying.
(No, as I told you, I am in a different world.)
But not stating the truth here is just bound to worry my family more. I also don't want to worry them too much because of the fact that I lied about my location.
(… Are you serious?)
(Yes I am.)
I can tell by the tone that she seems shocked at the same time worried about my well-being.
(But then, how are you able to call here if you are in another world?)
(About that, please call the whole family and let's talk together about that. Also make sure thet Sekai is there. She might understand what I will be talking about next.)
(Yes, of course!)
Hearing her with a spirited reply made my smile appear on my face. As I thought, a loving family is a good one indeed.
(By the way, I'll end the call now and call you again with video call. I also want to see your faces after so long.)
After saying that, I end the call and open the contact list inside the phone and dialed her number again. This time, I clicked on video call instead of voice call.
A few seconds later, my call was answered and in the screen, the face of my mother calling the names of the family members appeared.
(Sekai! Yumi! Tokuchi! Sora! Come down here this instant!!)
It really feels nostalgic, the memories of when I was called by mother back on Earth, I mean. By the way, the name of my mother is Hikari, Yanagi Hikari. Sekai, Yumi, and Sora are my siblings, while Tokuchi is my father. Sekai and Yumi are girls while Sora and I are boys. Also, I am the eldest, Sekai is 15 years old, Yumi is 13, and Sora is 12.
Both father and mother are in their early 40's, meaning they had me when they were still in their early 20's. Love knows no limit huh…
Anyway, back to the presesnt, after waiting and seeing my mother call my father and siblings made me want to go back there just to relive the past. But still, now that I have my dungeon, I won't let this opportunity go to waste. I will stick to this to the end.
***
Few minutes later, now that the whole family was sitting on the sofa, except my mother holding to the phone, I was shocked seeing their faces when they saw my face in the video call.
(ONII-CHAN!!!) (Yumi)
(DAICHI-NII-SAN!!!) (Sora)
(NII-SAN!!) (Sekai)
(DAICHI!!!) (Tokuchi)
When they saw me, all of them burst into tears seeing my face after a long time. I wonder just how worried were they, then again, my family is a doting one.
I explained my circumstances to them via the call. After a few minutes of explaining, my three siblings' reactions were hugely different compared to my father. The three had faces with excitement while father had a stunned face. A grown-up would never take this explanation seriously. I mean being transported to another world, just the sound of that makes me think the one who told me that had left reality or something. But for me, this was true reality, not a fantasy.
(Onii-chan amazing!!)
(Daichi-nii-san, please teach us to go there!!)
(Nii-san, please take me there!!)
As I thought, taking the personalities of my three siblings, I knew that they would ask this. Reading novels, watching anime and playing games really did a number on my three siblings. Well, I am the same as them so I can't really say that.
My father on the other hand, had a face that seems to say that what I said must be a lie. If only I could take them here and show them.
…Wait… Take them…?
(THAT'S IT!!!)
(Fueh!?)
(Eh!?)
(Huh!?)
(!?)
(Eeek!!)
(Oops, sorry for shouting, especially to you mother.)
Seriously… shouting with the phone near mother's ear must have been very loud for her.
(Anyway, wait for a while. I'll make you believe that I am in another world.)
"… Muh…? Master…?"
While I was talking to my family, Shironeko woke up on the bed. When she got up, her body was visible to my family over the phone.
(((((!?)))))
… Ah damn… Looks like I have to resolve this misunderstanding my family has.
