Reincarnated Into Anime World - Chapter 22

It was impossible to give up something you have built over the years to an outsider. At most, he would just give his underlings part of the Yakuza, but I’m very sure Raku would have the majority of it. No parent would leave their child with nothing after all.

I just shrugged my shoulders and changed the topic.

“So what can we do here?”

Don’t get me wrong here. This place had nice scenery and all, but there was really nothing much we can do here apart from falling flowers.

“Hmmm, why don’t we play some games?”

I don’t really feel like playing games, but there was really nothing else to do here…

“Games? What games?” Raiha asked excitedly and jumped about while munching on snacks that were laid out bare before her.

Nevermind. Since my sister wants to play a game, I’m playing as well.

“How about hide-and-seek?”

“Sure! Ichijou-san will be the seeker!” Raiha shouted before leaving immediately with Yuzuru.

Shouko and I looked at each other with wry smiles.

“Sorry Raku, our little sisters are a little too excited.” I apologised to him because we’re basically imposing our wishes onto him.

“It’s fine. I’ll be the seeker then?” Raku shook his head before agreeing to Raiha’s proposal.

“Sure, count to hundred before coming to find us.”

“Hey!”

“I’m just joking with you! Just count to twenty.” I laughed at his reaction before running away with Shouko.

“Ready or not, here I come!”

[A/N: Is this the way you say it? I’m not sure since it has been so long since I played this boring ass game]

Raku turned around from the tree and shouted before going in a random direction. Due to the place being too big, they had decided to limit the playing area beforehand so as to not get lost in the forest.

It wasn’t especially dangerous, but there were wild dogs and stray roots which made anywhere but the main path hard to walk.

Everywhere he looked, the trees and flowers were of the same colours, so he thought that it wouldn’t matter which direction he looked. So, he started moving in a random direction, hoping he got lucky and found someone.

Luckily, it was still morning, and wasn’t close to noon, so despite the sun overhead, it was still cooling and wasn’t too hot. Furthermore, the shades that the trees produce helps out as well.

Fuutarou and Shouko decided to split up. The playing area was only about two hundred metres squared. It wasn’t big to the point of the hider being impossible to find, but it wasn’t that small either, and to prevent the game from ending too fast, they decided to split up.

This forest’s density was not very high, so if Raku had looked closely, he could have easily spotted clues of their hiding spots. However, like any other child, he ran around the entire place trying to find them, only to become so tired that he had only found everyone in twenty minutes.

“Wow, that took longer than I expected…”Fuutarou muttered as he comforted Raiha in his arms. She almost cried since she was forced to stay in an unknown and quiet place for twenty minutes. Alone.

“Are you alright now?” He slowly caressed her back.

“Ano…I’m sorry…” Raku felt a bit guilty seeing Raiha almost in tears even though it technically wasn’t fully his fault.

“I-I’m fine now…are we going to continue playing?” Raiha replied slowly as she slowly got out of Fuutarou’s embrace.

“Do you want to continue playing? You don’t have to force yourself, you know?” Shouko smiled and assured Raiha.

“No, I’m fine now. Let’s continue playing!” Raiha had returned back to her usual self after a few minutes of comfort by her older siblings and seeing that she was really fine, they decided to continue playing hide-and-seek.

Their game lasted the entire morning before Raku and his Yakuza needed to leave for some business. I didn’t know what their ‘business’ was, but I’m not going to stick my head into their business after seeing some of them roll up their sleeves and picking up their weapons.

Maybe they were going to do some cleaning or pest removal, but I will not ask.

Besides, even though it wasn’t summer yet, when the sun is directly overhead, the heat becomes unbearable. Not a suitable weather for a relaxing picnic.

“Bye Fuutarou, Shouko-san, Raiha and Yuzuru! Let’s play again next time!” Raku said as he waved his hands at a distance.

“Bye! Hopefully you can find us faster next time!” I replied back to him while laughing at his inability to find us.

“Bye Raku-kun. See you next time.” Shouko also waved her hands, though she spoke in a quieter voice compared to the rest of us.

“”Bye Bye Raku-onii-san!”” Raiha and Yuzuru shouted together as they watched Raku hop into his limousine.

Watching his limousine go, I sighed with relief. Even if I know that they were not going to attack or do anything harmful to us, the pressure they exerted from their very being scared me slightly.

After all, apart from the system I have and the limited combat experience, I was an ordinary twelve year old boy, though much smarter.

“So, how was today?” My dad asked me on the way back home.

We took another limousine prepared for us, and we sunk into the seats in comfort. After playing and running for two to three hours, we were tired.

“Hmm…interesting, I guess? At least I made a few new friends.” I reply while I close my eyes, enjoying the softness of the seat.

That’s right. Halfway through the game, some of the younger Yakuza members decided to join in our game. We didn’t reject them since the more the merrier, and the security and safety would also increase due to the number of a.d.u.l.ts present.

“Good then. Despite Raku’s cheerful appearance, he doesn’t have many friends due to his background. So continue taking care of him in the future, all right?”

“No problem. Even if you didn’t say, I would have done the same.”

After the short conversation which was heard by everyone, a comfortable silence descended. I was lucky I replied the way I replied. Otherwise, with the seven Yakuza members present in the car, they might have done something bad to me if I had chosen to reply wrongly.

“Spring huh…” I looked outside of the car and saw the pretty scenery of cherry blossoms falling,”A time for starting afresh…”

*****************

A/N: Sorry for the late (and slow) updates. I wanted to post earlier but I couldn’t think of anything good, so this chapter (especially ending) might be a bit crappy. I’ve been writing more of my mha fanfic instead.

Last part of Cherry Blossoms! The next chapter will either be a date with Shouko, hanging out with Kaori or time-skip to mid-year exams and summer holidays.
