When I Returned From Another World I Was A Silver Haired Shrine Maiden
A couple of upcoming
Dad said I had two choices. Do I live as a few people or as someone else altogether?
"Well, I want to live as a few..."
But I don't think my father would listen to me like this for no reason. Having a choice but to live as a few people should have the advantage of doing so. Or...
"Is there any downside to me living as a few people?
Dad seems satisfied with my question and keeps talking.
"For you to live as a few people, you need to publicize and make known the other worlds and magic. Do you know why?
"Because no one will believe me if I claim to be a few, right? Anyway, there's no such thing as objective evidence that I'm a few right now."
"That's right. Prove the existence of different worlds and magic that overshadow common sense, and you will be able to regain your rights as a few."
"If you're going to spread the word, I'm going to spread it on video sites and on SNS!
"- But if you do, you'll lose your routine."
"... you mean you're going to be a celebrity? Lies, family becomes entertainers or something!?
"You'll be famous. Anyway, the existence of magic is a concept that could turn the very roots of mankind upside down. If you succeed in analyzing magic, your name will undoubtedly remain in human history."
"…… you mean?
"You're a good guinea pig. Life and income are guaranteed, but the actual position is not significantly different from that of experimental animals. There will be days waiting to be completely isolated and experimented from the public."
Yuna was bluishing her face with a completely different answer than she had imagined.
Well, I guess so, and I accept reality.
"Oh, that's terrible..."
"I have to. In the unlikely event that you leave the facility, you will be targeted from all over the world. That's all there is to magic."
Well, whatever.
"That's not going to be very fun..."
"If you add, it means that the Earthlings are devoid of magic, but there will be people out there who will think about what happens to children born with otherworlds... I'll leave it to my imagination what the consequences will be"
"… I guess that means it's easier for me to give up living as a few people"
"If you had come to the point where you wouldn't mind sacrificing yourself for the evolution of mankind, you might have thought about it."
"So can I ask you about the rest of your options?
"You're going to live as someone else at all... right. Do you have a family in a foreign country that was close to you with a family groom, and your parents took over their daughter, who is dead and an orphan, or something like that? So we'll have a family registration in Japan."
"Can you do that?
"My father has made quite a few connections overseas for once. I'll have a formal background that the Japanese government won't be able to scrutinize... leave the fine-tuning to me"
… what is it? I am impotent while my own father.
"I'm sorry, but on the paperwork, I'm going to be a step-child - the truth is, I can't even have a blood-connected relationship with me..."
It would be in the form of a father taking over a child he had had someone give birth to abroad. That would lead to the dishonorable fact that he would become a father's child but cheated abroad to have a child.
My father is so loving with my mother that I wonder if he is a parent with children of his age.
"As long as someone else takes into account the domestic discord that doesn't exist, my in-laws and children will be enough."
"Even if it changes its appearance, it doesn't change the fact that you are our fruitful child... just remember that"
"Oh, I know...... thank you father"
"When you come back to Japan, go to school and find your way in the meantime."
Again, can you go to school...... I'm just honestly glad I gave up half the time.
"This is where the big muscles are. How many people, what do you think?
"You don't have to think about it. I'll follow your father's policy."
"……… Who else has an opinion?
"Dad, where is your brother going to go to school?
"Hirayama High School is your number one candidate. It's a school that a few people attended in a little while, and Yuna is here, so I can follow her well. If I decide to enroll, I'm going to work to make it into a class with Yuna."
"Same class!? I'm going to be a sophomore..."
"We're going to make a new registry anyway. Then you won't have to restrain yourself to your actual age. Besides, can you get a year's study delay back in your sophomore year?
I'm stuck in words. It seemed like a big deal inside to soak up a year of high school classes and start with sophomores.
Besides, when it comes to the second semester of my high school sophomore year, it's time to put my college exams into perspective.
"By the way, the next candidate is the option to start over in third grade."
"Th, That is, a little……………………"
Honestly, I want you to give me a break. It's too spicy for me to go to junior high now, when I'm 16. I think that would go well enough for a freshman year of secondary school on the outside...
"Class with your brother...... hehe, sounds like a lot of fun!
Yuna seemed in a slight mood.
"… ok. Yuna and I are going to Hirayama High School, Hirako."
Re-enter Hirayama High School and start the year over. Think realistically. That seemed best. The class with my sister is also comforting in that I have someone to know what's going on with my body, regardless of my emotional situation as a brother.
"Well, my birthday was delayed by a year. February 10th would be fine."
…… there are so many problems.
"Objection. Then Yuna will have been born before me... two months late for her birthday?
My birthday is February 10th, Yuna's birthday is February 8th the following year, and my siblings' birthday hasn't been open for a year. So when a whole year's birthday goes off, the birth goes back and forth. That's all I want to avoid as my brother.
My mother dismissed my hope with complete dismissal.
"February 10th is the big day I gave birth to you. It also comes from your name. So I don't want you to change your birthday."
When my mother told me that, it didn't sound like anything.
Even I feel like I'm doing something unfaithful.
"It's a bad foray, brother. Mind your own business and be my sister!
It no longer seemed possible to stop my sister from descending.
"………… Okay."
I was powerless.
"It's okay, she said to leave it to your sister! 'Cause I'm not gonna make it bad."
Yuna, who decided to be my sister in a public setting, slapped herself in the chest and appealed.
"Then let's decide on a name next. Since I will be adopted, I will start naming the last name as it was on the moon. But the name has to be new."
"Hey, Dad. Can't you just stay Alicia?
"Alicia's in there, but it would be confusing to call her Alicia about a few of them, wouldn't it?
"Well......... um, you like a foreign-like name, don't you?
"You can change the name, so it's okay if it's a Japanese name... It's uncomfortable even if it sounds very Japanese."
"When it comes to it, would you like a name that would make sense for foreigners and Japanese alike? Like Maria or Senna."
"That might be a good idea. What kind of name would that be?
Then, we come up with a lot of ideas for the family.
By the way, I immediately gave up any attempt to leave Icto sound. There were candidates for Ike, Iktia and Iknatos, but they all seemed subtle.
Besides, I'm not talking about letting anyone but my family know that I'm here. It wouldn't matter if it wasn't for magic, but it didn't have to be forced to take risks.
Hmmm...... that's hard.
I'm going to run for it as a family, but none of it comes with a pin.
When I was about to get an air of whether to leave the naming on hold,
"Does Alicia have any opinions?
and Yuna spoke to Alicia.
"I don't know much about this name…"
"It's okay, it'll help if you just come up with a plan for now. I'll judge what it sounds like."
When I added that, Alicia eventually replied that it was a bad idea.
'What about the name Alice......?
"That's good!
Yuna was the first person to react to Alicia's suggestion. Then the rest of the family agrees.
"Well, Alice is also a Japanese name, and I don't think it would be uncomfortable to call her around the city."
"... Hmm, Alice in Wonderland? As for the names of the few people who went to different worlds and had the experience of changing their bodies, Esprit is a good name."
"It's also good that Alicia's name still sounds!
and Yuna. That's certainly true when they say that.
'Oh, no, that's not the intention……'
Alicia hastily denies it, but as far as I'm concerned, I'm glad that Alicia still sounds like a name.
"Alice......"
I'll put it in my mouth and crush it.... I felt like I was going to stick around.
"Okay, I've made up my mind! I'll make it Alice."
I declare.
Alice the Moon, that's my new name.
I was not sure whether to make the name kanji, but I felt that every word would make me a little more oblivious, so I calmed down by making it katakana.
