An Odd Welcome

Minato Arisato did not know what just happened. One minute, he was still acting as the Great Seal, waiting for Elizabeth's frequent visits. Then all of a sudden, he is standing on his own two feet, which is impossible since he's supposed to be suspended over the gate he is defending. He sees Elizabeth in front of him, saying something with a sad smile but sadly, he can't hear her. It would have been nice to hear her voice. Then everything went black.

After regaining consciousness and thinking about what just happened, I realized that I have sudden knowledge of the area around me. I seem to be in some kind of alternate dimension in which there seems to be no Kirijo Group and more importantly, the Dark Hour. That means I don't have to sacrifice myself again.

Elizabeth actually did it. I just hope it doesn't involve her replacing my role.

When I sat up and observed my surroundings, I discover that I am currently in some unnamed park. I am currently wearing my school uniform, MP3 and earphones included. I even have my wallet but it only has half my original amount of money but that is way more than enough.

I moved my hand to the side and discovered I also have a random black bag with me. It seems to be made by the Kirijo Group. After a minute of comprehending the oddity of its presence, I proceeded to check what's inside.

…

Thanks Elizabeth. What I saw inside the bag were the stuff everyone gave me during the time we were still together.

I tried to remember the memory of Elizabeth, hoping to decipher what she said through lip reading.

Looking back, now I know what she was trying to say.

'Live your life to the fullest.'

To think that the words I told Aigis should be told to me as well. Apparently Elizabeth thinks that I am too hard-headed to live normally. Well, she might be right about that. I don't know where you are right now, Elizabeth, but wish me luck.

"Well, I guess it's time to do Elizabeth's last request."

Now then, what to do. After finishing my contemplation, I heard something move behind the sea of trees in front of me.

Yui Kotegawa's POV

I am currently strolling through the park, looking for the group of cats that frequently scour the park for food. Work on the disciplinary committee is very tiring, especially with Yuuki Riko groping every girl she accidentally tries to hold on to when she trips. Seriously, how does someone trip on nothing?

While I was passing by the fountain, I heard meowing behind the trees in front of me.

Excited to see the cats again, I continued forward only to see an expected sight but with a few key differences. First difference is that there is a blue-haired boy (that I don't recall meeting) surrounded by the cats I was looking for.

The boy seems to be at a similar age with the boys of my class, although frail-looking, and is wearing a uniform from a school that I have no knowledge about.

As I was looking, mesmerized, I unconsciously took a step back. The sound alerted the boy and the cats about my presence. I also noticed he has startlingly gray eyes.

"Are you the one taking care of these cats?" he asked with a blank face.

"Yes… but I'm not their owner." I stated with a wary tone.

"I could tell. They are oddly healthy for a stray." He stated his very accurate observation. After his observation, some of the cats he was stroking came over to my side of the area.

"They also seem to be very attached to you. You must really like cats to be this dedicated to taking care of them." I could feel myself heating up from the remark. Good thing that he is not a student of Sainan High or else my reputation as the strict disciplinarian would go downhill.

"D-do you like cats as well?" I asked, knowing that my love for cats is pretty much a fact that he recently gained knowledge about.

"Not really." he answered vaguely. I suddenly felt a pang of disappointment.

"But I started to like their company after a request of a good friend of mine." He added. I listened intently, interested in learning what his reasons are.

"Back when I last showed her around the area, she noticed a sickly looking cat at the back alley. As much as she wants to help, she cannot because she was very busy. The day after that, she requested that I feed it everyday until the cat is well." He then abruptly stopped, probably trying to gather his thoughts. Then he resumed his story. "I accepted the request, in exchange, I get some useful things for my work. At first, I was annoyed but kept doing it due to the high pay. But afterwards, I started to like it, I was even starting to talk to it like I do with other people." I giggled a bit because the idea of a person like him talking to a cat was very funny and odd.

"But I learned something that day." He then smiled towards me. I could feel my face heating from the attention. "I learned that bonds can come from the most unexpected of situations."

I was just silenced by that bold proclamation, not knowing what to say afterwards. And he suddenly held out his hand.

"Perhaps we could be friends as well. My name is Minato Arisato, and you are?" I looked at his open hand, waiting for my hand to join it.

"Th-then I am Yui Kotegawa." I slowly reached out to shake his hand. When I accepted his offer, he made a smile so radiant it could rival the sun.

When I let go of his hand, I shook my head to remove my weird thoughts. What is wrong with me today. When I looked up to him, he is looking at the sky. Then he looked back at me and said "It's getting late now. I better get moving. We'll meet again, Kotegawa-san."

After he said those words, he turned and went the other way. As I looked at his retreating form, I realized that I talked to a boy without giving in to my hate for the opposite gender, even more, I got a male friend now. My brother can't call me a disciplinarian with androphobia any longer, so that's a bonus.

Perhaps this walk was worth more than what it was supposed to be.

Riko Yuuki's POV

I wish I wasn't born with this amount of misfortune. The entire day was just full of me tripping over nothing. Luckily, I learned how to adjust my sense of balance but that is only possible if I'm focused. I seriously want some good luck in my life for once. But I guess I can't really choose what I will get when I was born, now that I think about it. It was currently 5:17 p.m. judging from the time indicated in the alarm clock.

"Onee-chan! Can you go get the groceries? I'm running out of ingredients here." that voice came from my younger sister Mikan who is much more mature than me. As much as I want to say that I'm the older one, I keep remembering that my younger sister was the person doing all the work in the house.

"Okay!" I stated loudly. If I just sit here, waiting for dinner, I would just feel depressed that I, the older sibling, am useless in the house compared to my sister.

As I moved to my cabinet to change, I looked outside the window, remembering that the weather forecast said that there probably will be heavy rain at night. That means I better bring an umbrella just in case.

Minato Arisato's POV

After the accidental meeting and short conversation with Kotegawa-san, I decided to go house-hunting. I never expected there to be a distinct lack of vacant apartments though. After 5 hours of futile searching, it rained all of a sudden.

I should have paid attention to the clouds more. But then again, the skies were clear just a hour ago so it probably would be futile.

I am currently at a bus station with wet clothes, hoping that after a long time in the seal, I would be immune to any sort of cold.

"Are you alright?" someone said all of a sudden.

I looked to the front of the bus station and saw a short brown-haired girl. She was currently wearing a simple but very fitting dress and holding an umbrella and a plastic bag filled with ingredients for cooking.

"I'm fine. You should worry about yourself more, miss, it's already very late at night." I stated. No need to worry someone out of concern.

"No, you're not." I blinked at that statement. "Your clothes are currently wet from the rain and you might catch a cold at that rate. Do you have any home I could lead you to?"

"None that I know of."

"Then you can come with me to my house to at least dry those clothes of yours before you set out again." It's really nice to know that there are still people that are willing to lend a helping hand to a stranger.

"Thanks. I am Minato Arisato. But call me Minato." I smiled at the kind stranger in front of me.

"Then I am Riko Yuuki. And call me Riko as well."

"Nice house." I commented while we were going inside.

"Thanks." Riko-san replied after my comment.

"Welcome back, Onee-chan. Oh, who's this?" a younger girl that is holding a ladle.

"I'm Minato Arisato. I'm currently being helped out by your sister because of some circumstances."

"Minato, this is Mikan Yuuki." She stated with a proud smile.

"Perhaps you should change your clothes first or else you might catch a cold." The younger sibling observed.

"Right. I'll get some clothes in dad's old room." Riko-san said and went up the stairs.

"Mhm. I originally readied the bath for onee-chan but you should use it now before you change your clothes."

"Thanks. I'll make sure to repay the two of you for your kindness someday." I said.

"Think nothing of it."

Yuuki Riko's POV

After gathering the clothes that would hopefully fit Arisato-san, I went downstairs and saw that the male is not in the living room. I decided to ask my sister where he went.

"He's in the bath. You should give those clothes to him before he finishes… Oh, and don't fall on top of him." Mikan said with a teasing smile.

"I won't!" I said while going over to the bathroom. Seriously, from whom did Mikan get the teasing aspect of her personality?

Because of me mulling over her words, I forgot to knock and straight up opened the door and saw Minato-san beside the screen, naked save for his boxers, with a confused look on his face.

"Uwaah! I'm so sorry!" I tried to not look but because I was trying to run I didn't see a soap bar (how did that get there?) and tripped very far from my original position. Unfortunately, Mikan's joke came true.

CRASH!

"Onee-chan, what happene-" Mikan came in running but just deadpanned to see the result of the accident. Perhaps from others point of view, I looked like I am holding down Minato-san. I tried to go to an apology, but when I looked at his face, I saw traces of surprise on his features.

I decided to run away from the bathroom, with fear of what the male will think of me now.

Minato's POV

After the accident in the bathroom, I decided to bath quickly and wear the clothes that Riko-san gave me. They are a bit loose, but it's better than walking around naked.

When I went back to the living room, I saw Riko-san with an air of gloom surrounding her. When she looked up and saw me, she apologized repeatedly for the accident.

"It's fine, really. On a similar topic, you must have really awful luck for that to happen." I tried to be as understanding as possible or else she might apologize repeatedly again.

"You don't even know half of it." She groaned. Just then, Mikan looked in the room and when she saw the two of us, she smiled.

"Dinner's ready. You two lovebirds made up already?" she joked with a knowing smirk.

"Mou… It was an accident!" Riko vehemently denied although her blushing face does not help her defend her case. So Mikan has a teasing personality, huh.

Before Mikan could tease the poor girl any further, I decided to intervene. "Come on. Let's eat the food before it gets cold."

"Right." I nodded to the grateful look Riko gave me.

Dinner was a silent affair. It was very awkward, I have to admit that. After the meal and saying our thanks, Riko broke the silence.

"So… where do you live?"

"I don't know." I decided to be vague about it rather than trying to explain about my supernatural circumstances.

"Then where are you going to stay now?" Mikan questioned.

"I'll probably go and find a place to live in after getting a steady source of income." The siblings took a look at one another and nodded.

"You could stay with the two of us." She smiled reassuringly.

"Aren't your parents going to worry about a man's presence with you two?" At those words, Riko's face became horrified.

"Crap! Didn't dad say that mom is coming to visit soon?" At the moment Riko said those words, Mikan's face became ashen gray. And then there was the sound of the main door opening which made Riko panic.

"Oh no! I bette-" Riko ran frantically which resulted in her tripping and tried to use the nearest standing object to keep her up. And that object is me.

CRASH!

"RIko. Mikan. We're ba-" a woman with sunglasses at the top of her head and has striking similarities to her two daughters never finished her announcement because of the sight in front of her.

"Ringo, what's wrong?" a male voice on the hallway said and then a black-haired man with a headband peeked into the dining room and was also frozen cold at what he saw.

The sight was basically Riko lying on top of me with her hand holding my lower region. Riko moved away quickly and tried to defuse the situation before the damage was dealt.

"Wait! I can explain!" Riko said (or shouted for that matter).

"Oh my. It seems we are going to be grandparents now, Saibai." The woman named Ringo stated quite calmly but her husband, was very much not so.

"Riko! Don't worry! I'm going to get contraceptives right now!" The man Saibai announced with metaphorical fire in his eyes.

"Dad! Stop it!" Riko said while trying to stop her dad in going out and buying protection. She is looking at me with pleading eyes. However, if I do anything right now, I would only succeed in making the situation even worse.

"I'm sorry." I mouthed those words to her. She frowned a bit but she pulled with newfound determination.

"Dad! I AM NOT PREGNANT!" She declared.

"It never hurts to be safe!" Her dad said while trying to get through the front door.

This is going to be one long night.

After the disastrous misunderstandings in the Yuuki household (which was somehow stopped by Mikan and her mom), we all sat down at the living room, drinking the tea Mikan prepared for us.

"And that's basically it." Riko concluded after explaining how I ended up here. She is also twirling her short hair, which is a basic sign of nervousness.

Their father nodded and turned his head to look at me. "So, what's your story?" There's no way out of this, isn't there?

I sighed. I told them of my story back home, save for the supernatural parts. Unless there is any real threat, I won't be able to use them anyways. When I looked up from my recollection of memories, I saw the family, except Ringo, having traces of tears in their eyes.

"Sniff… to think that you were a boy with severe loyalty to his friends. To the point that he would give away everything he owns. You ran away, didn't you? So that they won't try to give back your belongings." Saibai stated with tears. How did my explanation ended up with that conclusion?

As much as I want to retort and take back what I said, the older man suddenly holds my hands in front of me and passionately said "Don't worry. In here, you won't have to suffer any longer."

"Well, I guess that means you can start living in our home." Ringo said and nodded. I looked at the siblings to refuse but they are looking at me with determined eyes and nodded.

"After all that, I can't really say no, can't I?" I said. The siblings nodded once again with smiles on their face. Their mother nodded as well.

She then dropped a bomb that even I never expected. "But use protection if you're going to do the deed with either of the two. I wouldn't want to be a grandma this early." I could feel my face go pale at the realization of what she was saying.

I looked at what their father has to say about that statement but I only saw a sight that made me drop my stoic façade. "Sniff… They're growing up so fast. You know, Ringo, I'm proud that they found what path they're going to take."

"Dad!" The Yuuki siblings reacted vehemently to their father's remark.

While I was watching the growing chaos, I can't help but smile. They be a bit odd but I reminded myself that they have the traits of humanity that I sacrificed myself for.

As I looked out the nearby window, I suddenly realized that there is still a problem. How could I get a proper specialized occupation if I haven't finished my education yet?

"You know, since you look like you haven't finished your education yet, let's send you to school as well." Ringo casually said.

"Then he can go to my school, it's not as if there's any other high schools here anyways." Riko suggested. That sounds nice. I know that Mitsuru would berate me if I didn't finish my education.

"But how is he going to get in? It requires legal papers, right? So how could he do that if he doesn't have any?" Mikan pointed out. You know, I never really thought about that problem.

"Oh that's easy. Just show him to the principal and he'll be accepted." Riko stated with an expressionless face. How is that easy?

"You know, I haven't really met your principal yet but every time you talk about him, the more I feel like I don't want to meet him." Mikan said with a disgusted face. I'm starting to worry about what kind of education system this world has.

"Trust me, you really don't want to. It's not just girls around him he has a liking to, even the guys as well." Riko said with a shiver. As worried as I am right now, at least I actually can complete my education.

You know, this is not turning out so bad after all.

Thank you, Read and Review. Goodbye for now, everyone!
