Harem Cheat Life in Present-day Japan ~The Story of the Male Teen who returned to Earth after saving Another World as the Hero and the Heroines who followed along for some reason~ Chapter 1-2

1-2 Family

TLed by: TanoshiKara

The discussion continues.

"Well then, the living expenses and residence problems are settled......is what I would like to say but regarding the residence, Kikyou should get permission from your parents," Saki said.

She enthusiastically suggested it before but thinking about it, the owner is not Kikyou and they should be his parents. If this is the case, it will be necessary to get permission from them but—.

However, Kikyou, hearing this, replies nonchalantly, "Yeahh, there is no problem if that is the case"

"Why are you able to assert that?" Naturally, Saki, who is doubtful, asked.

"My parents are not around after all" Kikyou replies a moment after she asked.

"Eh-......Ah, I am so sor-" Saki tries to apologize thinking that she made him mention something painful but it is then that Kikyou comes to a sudden realization and interrupts her with, "—Ah-, no, no! I see that my wording was bad. They are overseas because of work. ......That is why I will be the only one in this house for quite a while"

After apparent relief appears on Saki's face, she immediately narrows her eyes and says, "......Sheesh. That scared me you know. I see, I would not say that......there are no problems if that is the case but it should be alright for now"

With them being overseas, it will be an extended period of time before Kikyou's parents return home. If so, the girls will probably be able to get more or less used to Japan, and, even in the event that Kikyou's parents do not allow them to live here, they should be able to come up with some sort of plan such as renting an apartment.

—With this, their residence has also been sorted out somewhat.

"Then the next thing is—"

"There are problems with their language and appearance. Ahh, and we have to buy their daily necessities. ......Well, the biggest problems are the official documents such as the family register huh"

The four of them were listening up until now but, as expected, it is like they have a question mark above their heads as if it has come to the point where they do not get it.

"We can get by with language and appearances by using magic. The buying of daily necessities is also alright with me around. ......But the official documents are—"

The girls have appearances that are obviously foreign to this very Earth. And, if they do not have anything whatsoever to prove their identity, this will surely cause some problems in their life here in the future.

That is why it will be very helpful with official documents and the like but these are the only things that the power known as magic can do nothing about.

And, as these are not things that can be resolved with money, Saki, of course, cannot do anything about this probably causing her to have a perplexed expression on her face.

Is there some kind of way?

Saki crosses her arms as if in thought. Hmm, or so she says, pondering, and, lets out a sigh as if to say that there is no way—

"—I do not want to do this but we have no choice but to ask my mum for help"

She, unexpectedly, suggests a solution.

"Your mum!? No, no! Even Saki's mother would not be able to"

Saki's mother is indeed an amazing person but she should not be able to fiddle with the official documents, or so Kikyou thought as he disagreed but, Saki turns look at Kikyou, and with not a single doubt in her eyes, asserted, "No, it is possible. If it is my mum"

To think that Saki would place her utmost trust in her mother.

"......Ehh, just who is......Saki-san's mother" Kikyou says with a mix of astonishment and perplexment on his face.

"Even I do not know everything......But she is an amazing person for sure" She says with a proud tone. She then stops talking for a while.

Then, with a perplexed expression once again appearing on her face, Saki opens her mouth to speak.

"But if we are asking Mum for help, there is obviously no way for us not to talk about the other world and these girls"

"Saki's mother is trustworthy so talking about them will be fine but......the problem is whether she will understand though"

"......If it is my mum, she should surely understand"

"This is the only thing that we can only know by talking to her"

Saki nods when she hears Kikyou's words.

A moment later, she clapped her once.

"Alright. We should meet my mum as soon as tomorrow. There, we should ask for help with the documents and choose some clothes fitting for these girls while we are at it"

"......How do we get to the place where Saki's mother is at?"

"I will ask one of the people on my end to send us there. ......Ahh, do not worry. The driver is also a trustworthy individual......Though they are a little weird"

......Let's pretend I didn't hear the second part.

"Okay. Then I shall ask that of you for now"

"What will you do about the other problems?"

"Since we already have the solutions to the immediate problems for now, I think it will be good to resolve the remaining complicated problems as they come up"

"Yes, I think that is good"

"Alright, then I shall—oh, I am sorry everyone. You were all not able to follow the conversation right?" Kikyou went, as the conversation hit a stopping point, turned to look at the three people by his side as usual.

In contrast to Latiana, who was flying around, seemingly curious, the three of them have a worried expression on their faces even at this moment.

And, amidst this, Shea, who is currently grabbing Kikyou's right sleeve, looks up at him.

"......I don't quite understand but......but, the only thing I do understand's that I am inconveniencing my masters," she says, with a gloomy expression on her face. Her wolf ears, which were usually perked up, and her tail, which wagged energetically, are now limpid, without any strength in them.

"......Kikyou......Saki......I'm sorry"

"I feel sorry too......" Lew and Lumia said in an apologetic tone as if following after Shea.

"............"

Hearing their words, hmm, Kikyou went as he pondered for a while and he then said, "—Inconveniencing huh. Is it not fine to cause some?"

"It's not!" Shea raises her voice albeit unconsciously.

In response to this, Kikyou, as if to add to his rather lacking sentence, continues by saying, "......Well, it is true that it is not good to inconvenience people you meet for the first time. But—hey, are we not like family?"

"......Fa-mily?" Shea looks into Kikyou's eyes and mutters, dumbfounded after hearing the words Kikyou said nonchalantly.

"Indeed, family. I said this as I thought that, with us spending that many days together, we have built that sort of relationship but......am I wrong?"

Did I get ahead of myself?, or so Kikyou went as he scratched his cheeks in embarrassment.

However, it seems like that concern was unnecessary as Shea, after closing her mouth sombrely, says, "You're......not wrong"

"............Hm?"

"You're not wrong! Family! We're family!"

The only survivor of the White Wolf race. In other words, anyone Shea can call family is already gone. Perhaps the word "Family" strongly resonated with the heart of such a Shea as, after her head shoots up, she gives Kikyou a strong hug.

"......If we are family, we should inconvenience one another and be inconvenienced by one another. We should live by helping one another out. That is why, if you think you have inconvenienced me this time, one day when I am in a bind, I will be happy if you help me out"1

"I'll help you outttt! Masterrrrr!!" Urged on by Shea, who exclaimed, Lew and Lati, who also have no one to call family, leaped into Kikyou's arms. However, amidst this, only Lumia has a worried expression on her face.

"......Lumia?"

"—Family. ......I wonder what my father and the others are doing right now"

Indeed. This is something he heard right after they arrived but, it seems like a light suddenly enveloped them without warning, and they were brought over to this world.

To Shea, Lew, and Lati, who do not have anyone blood-related, there are no problems other than the change in environment. However, Lumia has family members.

It probably cannot be helped as she was teleported, without being able to give her regards to them, so she was worried about what was happening on the other side, and whether her family was worried for her.

Hearing such a worry of hers, Kikyou purses his lips sombrely.

"—Whether it is if someone brought all of you over to this world or whether the King and the others would understand that this is a teleportation. ......I am sorry. I honestly do not know right now" He then says, looking into the eyes of Lumia, wavering from anxiety.

"That is why Lumia. ......It may be tough but you should first try to think about how to live in this world. ......And, look into how to contact the other side. I will give it my all to help you as well"

"......Yes. Kikyou-sama" Nodding, she tries her best to smile.

"I too will lend you my strength. So that everyone can live a carefree life"

"Thank you very much, Saki-sama"

"Do my best! We are family after all!"

"......Will try......for Lumia......family......after all"

"Lati too! Lati too!"

"Thank you all very much as well, Shea, Lew, and Lati"

—I have comrades.

Whether it is because she strongly felt that, Lumia had an expression suggesting that several weights have been lifted off her shoulders.

"Alright. For starters, we should go and meet my mum tomorrow as the first step forward. Is everyone alright with this as well?" She said in a resolute tone, enough to dispel the dark atmosphere, to which everyone nodded.

"Well then, I will go back home to prepare for tomorrow but......Kikyou, is it alright if I leave the rest to you?"

"Uh-huh, that is alright. Thank you, Saki"

"......I only did the obvious. Family help one another out after all......is that not right?" She says as she smiles broadly.

She then went back to her home.

1 - In the raws, he actually says "if everyone thinks they inconvenienced me" but ends with “I will be happy if Shea helps me out”, which is weird because Shea should not be the only one to help him out if everyone thinks that they inconvenienced him so I changed it to "if you think that you inconvenienced me"
