After the bumpy ride, Soseki and his family finally reach his grandparent house, it is a wooden house, smaller than their previous house, from Soseki point of view, this house can collapse anytime, but Shina and Chisaki sees it differently, Soseki steps down and start unloading their luggage
" Waaaaaah! , it is a wooden house!! " Shina says this while looking amazed by the wooden house, while Chisaki starts to looking around, and checking thing one by one and say " my, my this place hasn't changed at all since i leave this island" after a while Chisaki seems to have a little nostalgia about this house
Old man, talk to Soseki that just finishes unload their luggage and say "kiddo! , my house is near that corner, if you're need anything feel free to come by" and start to drive away to his home, some of the smoke from tractor hit Soseki face.
Soseki start to brings some of their luggage, inside the house, while Shina still running around in the garden, his mother already greeted by an old woman and old man, Soseki even though he sees Chisaki from the bag, know that his mother has a troubled face when meeting with those two old people
his mother turns around and calls both of Soseki and Shina "Soseki~, Shina~ come and greet your grandparent" said Chisaki, Shina running away to the old couple, and says "my name Natsume Shina!" followed by bowing her head, his grandmother replied with "ohohoho~ what a cute little kid, and don't need to introduce yourself, we are your grandparent after all" and starts to rub her hair
"nice to meet you, grandpa, grandma" Soseki, follows his sister greet their grandparent. His grandpa only said "hmph! ... this brat smell like a city boy", Soseki, has complicated feeling hears his grandfather answer, but decides to bow
both of his mother and grandmother just smile wryly, after a while his grandmother gives permission for him to starts putting their luggage inside "now,dear it must be a long journey, why don't you all start taking your luggage inside, while i prepares some tea", in which his mother replies with "ah, let me help you mother" and starts going inside the house
Soseki... feeling his grandfather glared at him, starts to take their luggage inside, Shina still playing around outside of the house, while his grandfather go from the front door, and start going to the garden
After Soseki put his foot inside the house *kreeet* a sound like that resounding, in his mind he's thinking (...is this house really safe!?) and starts put their luggage in, each time he walks another *kreeet* sound can be heard
"Mom... where should i put it?" Soseki asking this to his mom, not knowing where he should put their luggage, his moms answer with "you can put mine and Shina on the second floor, as for you, there's a small house on the left side, you can put your things in there"
You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.
listening to his mother word, Soseki starts to move his mother and sister luggage to the second floor... on his way, he can see a growth height mark on the wall, a picture of his mom when she's young, and some tool that he never saw before, after he finishes put their luggage, he starts moving his to the small house
Soseki, sees the small house and mutters to himself "...this is a warehouse right?" he tries to open the door, but it stuck, after using a little force the door finally opened, the warehouse only has 3x2m, inside there's already a futon A/N (Japanese bed), wooden table near the window, a small table on the middle, a wardrobe near wall and a yellow lamp hanging around the top of this warehouse
He starts to unpack his things, most of the thing he brings only clothes and books, while he organized the books, he found one book that he never read or buy before, he takes the book, sees the cover and mutter "this...is the book that shows in my dream", he opens it, but there's no single letter inside it, not even a scribble.
Soseki sigh, thinking this book is only a notebook that he buys, and forget about it. He continues to organize his thing, after a while he realizes that all of this stuff inside is new, even the warehouse itself doesn't have any dust, and then the door knock can be heard
*dug* *dug* "nii-san~ the tea is ready" Shina calls out to him, Soseki hears this, start to think that living in this warehouse, communication will be unpractical and starts to think about how he should solve this problem, but he doesn't have enough knowledge to solve this problem.
Following Shina to the living room, they have a tea time, Shina already adapting to her new environment, and both of her grandparents really pamper her. On the other hand, while grandma acting casual around Soseki, he can feel that his grandpa always glared at him
Grandma, notices this and say "on my dear, are you still mad about the warehouse being used as his living place?" , grandpa in panic denied grandma word "nonsense! who's mad about that!" Soseki hearing this smile wryly and think (so, that's why he glared at me) after this incident, he feels that his understanding rose up
"Oh, yes, i almost forgot, Soseki-kun, we already prepare for your enrollment at the local high school, be nice and make a 100 friends in there, okay?" grandma treats Soseki like he's a kid that just start his first day at elementary
She stands up, walks a little bit and gives Soseki his new school uniform, before Soseki able to say his gratitude, his mother already say "sorry for the troubles mom"
While Chisaki helps her mother making a dish, Soseki help Shina unpacks and organized things in her room, unknowingly, the sky already dark, they have dinner and talks a little bit, after dinner, Shina already asleep, and Chisaki excuse themselves to put Shina to bed, not long after this, Soseki grandparent also excuse themselves and went to bed
Soseki being left alone start walks to the warehouse, prepare his bed and starts to sleep.
Once again.. he suddenly wakes up in a hammock, everything is blue, the only difference is the hammock is nearer to the Gazebo, from his place, he can see Igor, Christina, Hans... he hears some noises, turns to his right, and sees a red-haired girl in a wheelchair
