Volume 1 Chapter 14 Going to School
"Good morning, Takeru-nii~!"
"Ugh... morning... Take... Zzz."
"Good morning. And Yumi, stop sleeping while standing."
...In the morning, I pass by Ami and Yumi in the bathroom.
Ami, the oldest sister, is strong in the morning, always with her bright and cheerful smile.
On the other hand, Yumi is really weak in the morning, managing to sleep while standing up.
By the way, Yumi looks just like her usual low-energy, mysterious self today.
"Good morning, you three. Now hurry up and eat breakfast and get ready for school."
"Got it."
"Oka~y!"
"Ugh."
While eating breakfast, Mom... Yuki Aya, smiles wryly at our different reactions.
By the way, I heard that our dad has passed away.
That's because he died shortly after I was born.
Therefore, I and my sisters only know our dad's face from a photo at the altar, and we have never actually spoken to him, so we only understand what we heard from Mom.
Still, we live as a single-parent family with Mom and the 3 of us siblings, but fortunately, there is the insurance money from when Dad died, so Mom has been able to be a stay-at-home mom.
That said, insurance money won't last forever, and especially now, my sisters and I are about to enter a time when we'll need the most money.
So, I'm thinking from that time on that I would start working as soon as I graduated from high school.
Well, of course, the only option right now is to make money with Seeker!
"""I'm off! (...I'm off, mumble mumble)"""
"Okay, have a nice trip! And Yumi, stay strong!"
And so the 3 of us headed off to school together.
Come to think of it, when was the last time we went to school together?
Since middle school?
I remember that we used to go to school together until middle school, but when I became a high school student, I told them, "I'm going to stop going to school with my sisters because it's embarrassing."...I guess that's when it started.
At the time, I hated going to school with my sisters, but now I've been living in another world for 5 years, so I'm effectively 22 years old.
So, going to school with my sisters at this age doesn't bother me that much.
Rather, my sisters are only a year younger, but in my mind, they feel like they're '6 years younger,' so I find them quite adorable.
I feel a bit like a parent.
By the way, I wonder if they feel the same way,
"Hey, Takeru-nii, haven't you suddenly become more grown-up?"
"Yeah. The old Takeru-nii was great, but this version is also... good!"
"What are you talking about, Yumi? Stop it, it's early in the morning..."
"It's okay. I can handle Takeru-nii even in the morning. Ami feels the same, right...?"
"W-wah!? Shh! Yumi, you're being too loud!"
"It's fine. Being heard a bit is just right."
"That's not good~~~!!!!"
Hmm.
It seems my sisters also like the current me quite a bit.
I'm glad, I'm glad.
While I was thinking about that, we arrived at school quickly.
......Prefectural Kaisei High School
That's the school I attend.
It's just an ordinary coed school like any other.
"...School, huh"
I remember the times when I was bullied.
Yes, the modern world I returned to is the world from 5 years ago.
In other words, it is a world where bullying continues.
"Takeru-nii... are you okay?"
"Takeru-nii... I'll go with you to the classroom"
Ami and Yumi look worried as they speak to me kindly.
"Thank you, Ami and Yumi. But I'm okay 'now'."
To reassure them, I reply to them kindly with a smile.
"Oh! I see, I see, I-I see! Ah, ahaha..."
"Ugh!! T-T-That surprise attack...!"
"? ? ?"
For some reason, Ami and Yumi are in agony.
And,
"Hey, Yumi, you're having a nosebleed. Want to go to the infirmary's office with me?"
I check on Yumi and suggest that we accompany her to the infirmary's office.
"(Bzzzzzzzzz...!)"
But for some reason, Yumi violently raised both hands in front of her and resisted with all her might.
Huh?
What?
Did I do something to make her hate me?
"It's okay, it's okay...!! Yumi will take me to the infirmary's office, so Takeru-nii, you go on ahead!"
Ami hurriedly said this to me.
"O-Okay...?"
Anyway, I followed Ami's words and left Yumi in her care as I entered the school building.

"Alright, here comes the big meeting..."
Honestly, until yesterday... when I was attacked by a goblin in the dungeon, I had been thinking about starting my life from level 1, the weakest state, reset here in the modern world.
And I was prepared for the daily bullying from Sagawa and the others at school to begin again.
Of course, I remember the bullying clearly, and when I think about it, I sometimes get a small flashback and break into a cold sweat.
But I decided, "I won't run away from my life anymore," and came back to this world.
So no matter how much Sagawa and the others bully me, I'm determined to face them and look forward to my school life from now on.
However, however...
My status was indeed reset to 'level 1', but I actually inherited all the 'magic', 'skills', and 'items' I gained in the other world.
It was a 'surprise' from the Soggy Goddess.
To be honest, at that time, I was thankful to the Soggy Goddess for the first time.
And so, thanks to the Goddess' kind arrangement, I was born into this world as a person with 'cheat abilities.'
With all the abilities and items other than my level inherited, I became a cheat character, and school life from now on was no longer a 'painful and difficult place', but rather a 'place that I couldn't help but enjoy'.
"Now, I'll give them a proper 'serves you right'"

......Going back to Ami and Yumi before they broke up with Takeru
"It's okay, it's okay...!! Yumi will take me to the infirmary's office, so Takeru-nii, you go on ahead!"
"O-Okay...?"
And with that, Takeru-nii walked off alone to the school building,
"Hey, hey, Yumi! Are you okay?!"
"N-No way... That surprise attack was unfair. But... thank you so much!!"
"It's not 'thank you so much!' You always use weird words! ...Well, you are kind of weird."
"Hey, my sister. Calling me weird is too much. I just want to love Takeru-nii for life and be by his side, that's all."
"And that's what makes you weird!"
"But, Ami, you don't hate it, right? Hmm?"
"Wha!? Th-That... is..."
"Hmm? What's the answer, hmm?"
"U... "
"U?"
"Shut up! You stupid pervert Yumi!!"
Saying that, Ami left Yumi behind and dashed into the school building.
"Hah... Young people, huh, Ami?"
"You too."
"...Huh?"
"You're late. Yuki Yumi."
"Gaaahnn...!"
The teacher in charge of student discipline marked Yumi with a 'late' stamp because she was acting too high and mighty.
