Chapter 3: Although Yuuji is a NEET, It seems that He's a Rich Person in Japan .
Part 6 Yuuji’s Imouto Sakura, Replying Email from Yuuji
「Since I have already gone this far, should I go a little bit further to Nasu[1]?」
Yuuji’s imouto, Sakura .
She just returned from visiting the electric company, gas company and waterworks bureau . She was really tired after receiving loads and loads of complains .
She was at her favorite Japanese-style café near the prefectural office having a coffee break and lunch, while escaping from reality .
She intensely fought for her own principles and position in America, even if she was only a 28 year old woman .
Furthermore, she emphasized that it was honesty .
She didn’t especially return to Japan just to get scolded by a bunch of ossans .
「Waaa . But Gunji-san will come any time now, I need to get hold of myself . 」(Sakura)
「Oh, so you were there? Thanks for waiting, Sakura-san . 」(Gunji)
A male came and greeted Sakura .
His age was approximately in the fifties . His neat and stylish suit really didn’t fit with the ambience of the Japanese-style café . His black hair only had a little bit of white color mixed in . His sharp pointed metal framed glasses furthermore reinforced his neat impression .
He was really out of place .
「Ah, Gunji-san . I’m sorry for making you come to this place . 」(Sakura)
「Ah, I’m not bothered by it . Since my office is close by . It seems that my workers also occasionally come here . 」(Gunji)
His voice was refined . However, he was really out of place .
Actually except for the table those two sat down at right now, the other tables were filled with the Office Ladies[2] eating their late lunch or Madams[3] who were chatting with each other . In the provincial city, it was an essential part for the bourgeoisie Madams to frolick a little in the fashionable café .
「Then, what do you need me to do? On the phone, you seem to be considerably troubled . 」(Gunji)
Yes, that was the reason Sakura called out this out of place man to this place . It was related to the “Lifeline’s Company Scolding Tour” she had done today .
「Actually . . . . . . I had some dispute with the electric company, gas company, and waterworks bureau . So I was wondering if Gunji-san could became my proxy . 」(Sakura)
「There will be no problem . Your parent’s accident, the inheritance, and also many others had been entrusted to our office . Because your family had always only use our service, anything law related on your family can be easily understood . 」(Gunji)
On Gunji’s suit a golden badge was giving off a shine . Yes, this man was the chief of Gunji Law Firm, the lawyer whose Houjou Family indebted to . He was the father of Sakura’s classmate, so their relationship was a lawyer that was introduced by a friend .
「I’m really glad you said that . This state of affairs has really gone beyond absurd . . . This is something that I don’t have any courage to consult with a lawyer I’m meeting with for the first time . Actually . . . . . . 」
While opening the laptop, Sakura began to explain .
No matter how much this is repeated, it is out of place .
✦✧✦✧
「Fumu . . . . . It’s difficult to believe promptly . If we just think this pragmatically, I think the current point of issue is not whether the house unexpectedly went to another world or not . First let’s confirms the intention of each company . If we can found a pragmatic point of compromise, generally speaking I anticipate it will be under the pretext of money, will this be alright?」(Gunji)
「If this can be resolved with money the more or less it’s fine . Ano . . . . . . Do you believe in it?」(Sakura)
「In this case, I don’t think the main problem is whether I believe or not . 」(Gunji)
「Yes, you’re right . . . . 」(Sakura)
「However, my hobby is reading . This appeals to my preference . Michael Ende[4], Lewis Carroll[5], J . R . R . Tolkien[6], C . S . Lewis[7], Ursula K . Le Guin[8] . . . . . . If you find the method to go to another world, please share it with me secretly . 」(Gunji)
Gunji winked a Sakura . He was unexpectedly playful . However, his mouth didn’t make any smile or grin . He was really a difficult to understand man .
✦✧✦✧
「Gunji-san was really unexpected . At any rate, I’m glad I could leave things to him . 」(Sakura)
Sakura then headed towards Bank of Tochi* . [9]
When they separated, she received a report from Gunji-san .
The consolation money[10] for her parent’s traffic accident had been paid to their family, so she needed to confirm it .
「Ah, this is really troublesome! After confirming the account with the bank, I also need to consult with tax counselor about inheritance tax . . . . . . That’s right, what about oniichan’s certificate of residence[11]? But if the land still there but the house is gone, will there be a problem? If I discuss this with the municipal office I will completely become a suspicious person . Well, if I falsify my address in Japan it will work out in the end somehow . Ah, really! Why did oniichan just nonchalantly go to another world?! Help me out over here! I wonder if I have to extend my stay in Japan . . . . . . 」(Sakura)
It is difficult to live in modern day Japan .
✦✧✦✧
「Aah, I’m really tired . . . . . . 」
Sakura was finished with this long day . She couldn’t be a bother and stay at her friend’s house for too long, so she went to a hotel near JR Utsunomiya Station . [12] After check-in, she threw her body on the bed .
「The email from cave-dwelling bear oniichan hasn’t come . I wonder if it because I excessively revealed his secret?」(Sakura)
*Poon*
From the opened laptop, a mail ringtone sounded . She had purposely changed the email ringtone setting to sound when an email from Yuuji came .
Sakura suddenly sprung up and quickly checked the email in front of the laptop .
She had been waiting anxiously for an email from Yuuji .
「Oniichan . . . . . . 」(Sakura)
□ □ ■ ■ □ ■ ■ □ □
To Yuuji Oniichan,
This is Sakura .
I have properly received your email .
I had expected the email to arrive in the late afternoon or evening, and it is just like what I predicted!
Sorry for accidentally revealing oniichan’s embarrassing stories .
Is that so? Finally comng out from the house after 10 years .
I’m really happy for you .
I’m sure Father and Mother in the Heaven are also happy for you .
I’m glad that oniichan is healthy and happy .
I’m really glad .
Lifeline companies, municipal office, bank, tax,
Oniichan’s disappearance really, and I mean, really caused som big problems,
But I’m not troubled by it . Maybe .
I’m not alone .
There still George, and with email I’ still connected to oniichan .
I will receive the emails and the photos and also visit the bulletin board .
Last night, I had a great laugh when Emi showed me the thread .
It’s as if oniichan from 10 years ago had returned . [13]
I cried a little .
I’m so happy .
Welcome back, oniichan .
I’ll email you later .
Sakura Flores .
PS
I was irritated by oniichan who gave away my clothes without permission,
But since Alice-chan is cute, I’ll permit it!
She can use them as she likes, to always make her lovely .
But if it’s not Alice and it’s Oniichan who touches my underwear, I will not forgive you .
I will reveal a lot of things on the bulletin board, you had been warned .
Ah, also oniichan’s bank account, the inheritance money from Dad and the consolation money has been transferred to it .
Please check it with the Net Banking tomorrow .
If there something you don’t know, you can email me .
