Lonely Attack on the Different World

Day 113 Morning City of Omui Orphanage

When I wake up in the morning, it's the same question, every kid and every kid asks the same question every morning already.

"" "" "Your brother or sister hasn't come home yet -?

Every morning questions, every day and every day everyone is waiting for me to come home.

I know the old lad, but I don't know the little one and I ask him every day.

"If we're all good kids, we'll be right back, okay?

"" "" "" Yes, I'll be a good boy -!

We're all relieved already, at first I was anxious and scared to see if we could still have dinner tomorrow or if we could have such a delicious and splendid meal, but now I can tell you I can eat it all the time.

The orphanage will have Dean Murimuri, who will be kind enough to say that the orphan children on the border will be absolutely fine.

It's true that the border we've been hearing about is scary, and the fathers and mothers of the children on the border have been killed by demons. But it's okay, 'cause my brothers and sisters took out the scary demons that attacked me full of them and made enemies of me.

And they built a beautiful orphanage just like us, and they filled it with delicious rice. Brother Yao doesn't have a father and a mother either, but she can be like Brother Yao when she grows up being a much better kid, that's why we're all working hard.

All the noblemen's mansions, which were mean to us even in the Wang capital, were destroyed, as were all the shops that yelled at us and only gave us a little money once we worked. And they made treats every day saying, "The money I've been crashing belongs to everyone, so eat a lot".

It's been like a dream ever since, and we've all been discussing, "Actually, we're so hungry, we're dead, I guess this is heaven."

I was also scared to come to the border, but the king and princess told me it was okay, but I wanted to go with my brother and sister. But when I said what I said, they might hate me, and they were all crying anxiously, and then one of us said, "You want to come with me?" He asked, "I was glad, and we all cried a lot to bring him to the border together.

Big Kid goes to work in the city every day studying in an orphanage school, your brother scolds you for "kids are work to play with," but the city people are so happy to go to work and praise you and be very kind. I get a lot of allowances, and everyone gives me sweets, and everyone caresses my head, so everyone is happy to go to work.

The sister of the guild compliments me a lot, the grocery store sister always hugs me as a ghost, the weapons store uncle also strokes my head and fills everyone with sweets, the border is a great place to stroke me whenever the city people meet up to a kind and great lord everywhere.

But I still miss you, the city, the innkeeper, your brother and sister are gone, and the city people are going to miss you. Adults also say, "You haven't come home yet?" It looks like everyone's waiting because they're going to ask.

"Yao brothers, you are always fighting the bad guys who make us all fall apart. Mi-na, we're gonna kill them, so everyone in this city is laughing happily, right? You're still fighting the bad guys in the far city and making people happy in the far city, even in the king's capital, aren't you?

That's what the dean and the nanny sisters say to make me listen, but I still miss you a little.

"" "". "" When I grow up, I become an adventurer, and I get to my distant brothers -!

Stores all over the city can tell you, "Come work when you grow up, and I'll have my own room and full pay." But we all want to be adventurers because we want to grow up and be strong and be like our distant brothers and sisters, so we want to be like our brothers and brothers in Mogadishu and Ota, so we all get training from our guild adventurers uncles and sisters as well.

But the adventurers' uncles and sisters say, "You'll have no bad demons by the time we're all big, so study a lot like your brothers from afar and become a fine store".

"" "" "" "Then you'll be someone who makes delicious rice and sweets like Brother Yao!

The rice at the border is very tasty, even the rice at the orphanage can be eaten full of delicacies. But even now, the rice that my brother Yao has made is delicious and makes me cry, the first delicious rice I've ever had in my life, I've always wanted to dream about it since that day and if I ate it, I would remember and the tears would pop.

"" "" So, are you coming back tomorrow? The day after tomorrow? "" "

"Let's study a lot by the time your brother gets back and surprise you with your cleverness, huh?

"" "" Yeah, I study a lot -!

The little ones who got lots of compliments, lots of treats, lots of kindness, hiccups, cold, and lost their energy and cried all the time are now full of energy. Me and everyone are amazed at the slightest stretch of my back! I've been hungry and powerless and flustered and yelled at until a while ago, and now everyone seems to see me differently. Full of energy.

Your sisters will always bring you beautiful clothes full of cute things to say, "You can dirty it or break it," and bring you new clothes to put on, you can comb your hair and clean it and stroke it. Now I'm much happier every day that both the dean and the nanny sisters are here, now I feel so cold and twitchy that those days were my dreams...... and I still think I'm sassy.

The city is still busy today, everyone is nice, everyone is smiling and laughing, but I don't have enough laughter.

Always at the heart of the laugh are your brothers and sisters, and they all laugh when they see it. The lack of it just makes me feel pompous and lonely, the boulevard is a little quiet without the fuss of running around and running brothers and chasing sisters.

I'm always touching you in front of the bulletin board with my guild sister. I don't have the morning buzz.

Everyone seems to miss "wanting mushroom lunch" even in a grocery store full of customers every day.

Weapons stores, cafeterias, stalls and clothes stores all seem a little lonely. My sister in the inn seems to miss me a lot too.

"" "" "Your brother or sister hasn't come home yet -?

And another cliché question, the same question for all the little ones, the old ones and the grown-ups.

"If we're all good kids, we'll be right back, okay?

"" "" "" Yes, I'll be a good boy -!

I was praised for studying full of delicious rice today, I worked so hard, I was praised and caressed so hard, I worked so hard to train and get sweets full, I have a futon where I was bathed every night and dressed beautifully, and I'm sure I'll be happy tomorrow. I get tired and go into bed.

I don't have scary dreams or sad dreams anymore, because every day I want to dream all the time. I'm sure it's a good day tomorrow, so I'm not afraid to sleep a lot anymore.

But when the morning comes and I wake up, I'm sure I'll say it again too - Nah, "Your brother or sister hasn't come home yet -?" You haven't?
