Chapter 5 - Towards my new life

The drive towards the airport was awkward, to say the least.

Both Rina and Anna were uncomfortable, and Yuria had a troubled expression, a result of my silence. They tried to make conversation with me but I wasn't in the mood at the moment.

My father on the other hand was indifferent towards the situation, but that was just a matter of course.

Once we arrived on the airport my father went to solve a few things regarding our travel, leaving me alone with Yuria, Anna and Rina.

For a few minutes we stayed like that, in complete silence, until finally someone broke it.

"I'm sorry Takashi"

Those words finally caught my attention and I looked towards the one who said it, Yuria.

'Why would she apologize to me?'

"It seems that I caused you too much pain. I'm sorry for separating you from your cousins" said Yuria, with a sad expression on her face.

'Oh...'

Apparently she was under the wrong assumption that I was blaming her for the situation. Giving that I was just ten years old in this world it wasn't wrong to think I might blame her for it.

It was probably best to correct her.

"Don't worry Miss Yuria, I know it isn't your fault. You don't need to concern yourself with it"

"Are you sure you're okay with the situation?" asked Yuria, still having a worried expression on her face.

"Yes, I'm sure. Oh, actually I'm the that should be apologizing" I said.

"Apologizing? For what?" asked Yuria, showing an expression of curiosity.

Seeing that, I put my best smile to reassure her, and answered her question.

"I should be calling you 'mother' now, shouldn't I?"

Hearing my response, Yuria's eyes widened just a little and then she giggled.

"Hehe, if you're okay with it, I would love for you to call me 'mother'" she said with a smile.

"Okay! So now you're my mother!" I said with a smile.

What I said clearly made her happy, as her smile just got bigger.

The truth is that I wanted for her to see me as a man, not simple as just her son, but right now that wasn't possible. I was for the moment just a little kid that haven't even passed through puberty yet, with no signs of being a man showing on me yet.

If I wanted to create my harem then first I needed to show that I was a man, and right now I couldn't. Still, for now I needed to give a good impression of myself to Yuria and the sisters, so for now I would only be her son.

But ONLY for now.

"You really aren't mad with us?" asked Anna, with concern in her voice.

I hadn't interacted with the sisters much during their stay in my cousins house. I wanted to enjoy my time with Aya-nee and Megu-nee as much as possible, so my interaction with Anna, Rina and Yuria until now were very few.

I also had to give a good impression on both the sisters, so I smiled and answered her question.

"Of course not Anna-nee"

"'Anna-nee?!'" asked Anna with surprise clear on her voice.

"Of course. You're my older sister, so you're Anna-nee" I said smiling at her.

"Anna-nee... I'm Anna-nee... hehehe" mumbled Anna-nee while blushing a little. By the way she was giggling it was clear she was happy that I called her that.

Suddenly she snapped out of her goofy state and looked at me.

"So, can I call you 'Taka-chan?'" she asked hopefully.

"Sure, you can call me like that" I responded a little embarrassed. Being suddenly called like that left me surprised, but also a little happy.

"Thank you Taka-chan!" she happily said, grabbing my hand excitedly. This girls sure was cute and smiled a lot.

I can't believe she will turn out like 'that' in the future.

These thoughts quickly left my head once a third person caught my other hand.

"Then I'll be Rina-nee. Let's have lot's of fun together" Rina said with a goofy smile on her face.

She still think she's the older?

"No, I'm the oldest so you call me Onii-chan"

"But you're too short to be the older one" said Rina with a blank look on her face.

Honestly, I was starting to lose my patience with this.

"If you don't call me Onii-chan then I won't talk with Rina anymore"

"Heeee... that's unfair. I want to talk with Takashi more"

"..."

"Hey Takashi"

"..."

"Takashi!"

"..."

"...Onii-chan"

"Yes, I'm the Onii-chan, and I'll call you Rina" I said with a smirk, and started to pat her head.

A boy patting the head of a girl a little taller than him was a strange sight, but it was what was happening now.

Rina was puffing her cheeks, clearly pouting about our situation. Despite of that she wasn't resisting my actions and was even blushing a little. She didn't liked much but also wasn't dissatisfied about it.

Maybe she just wanted to be a big sister? She was the youngest of the family, so perhaps she got excited about the idea of being the big sister of a new member of the family. I could relate with that, since I was the younger one before, now I was happy to get a little sister.

Both Anna-nee and mother were enjoying our little banter, showing warm expressions on their faces.

When father returned we were already in a much more relaxed mood, and able to enjoy the company of each other, and while walking towards the plane we engaged in conversation, getting to know each other better, and even father joined our conversation sometimes, although I would prefer if he stayed quiet.

Once our plane was finally taking flight, I couldn't help myself but look on the window, gazing upon the city I've known for my entire life. I was leaving it behind, heading towards a much bigger place with no idea about what kind of situations I would be getting myself into.

Was I going to meet other hentai characters?

Was I going to make enemies?

Was I going to rescue some girl from a terrible future?

Was I going to steal married woman, besides Yuria?

Was I going to destroy long time relationships?

I was excited, nervous, happy, anxious, terrified and many other things in regards about what is to come.

But one thing I knew for certain.

'Now my new life truly starts!'
