Chapter 142: Inside the plane to USA or Second Coming â»Celicaâs POV
TLN: Yikes, really messed up here.
I published the chapter 145 that I havenât even double checked yet.
Hereâs the missing chapter! And sorry!
Might need to take the next day of DCFM off though >_<
We really ended up cramming Nanami-neesan into a contrabass case.
Nee-san was pretty confused by this, but I had judged that the chances of this happening were high, so we were fully ready.
We lied about it being a high class vintage musical instrument and forcefully made it pass.
There was probably no need to go through the trouble of buying a vintage contrabass or a vintage cello for showing, but well, I could sell them over there, or just perform with it myself. I donât think I have the time to play with an instrument though.
Nee-san is smallâŠnot, but she is of average height, so she managed to fit into the contrabass case, but not only is it cramped, it is also pitch black inside of it, and she was shaken around the whole time, so it must have been scary.
âGood work, Nee-san. Now all thatâs left is the takeoff.â (Celica)
After entering the jet, I had Nanami-neesan freed.
âFeeh~, I didnât feel like I was back alive in that thing⊠Even so, thatâs impressive. I really didnât get found out.â (Nanami)
âIt is also in part because we were lucky though.â (Celica)
Nee-san was looking outside the window as if intrigued by all this.
I looked at the back of that person thatâs really close to being family as I thought about what to do from now on.
Sis has become a special existence amongst humanity with her being revived by God, so it might be hard for her to live normally now.
Movie-like stuff like a weird cult attacking to try and obtain Sis might not happen, but thereâs a lot of unknowns in what could happen.
If they have a country at their back, it might be difficult to go against them, but anything aside from that, as long as we hide the location, it should be okay.
Most westerners wonât be able to tell the differences in the looks of us Japanese people. By changing her hair color a bit and having her put on glasses or something to disguise her, it might be enough.
At any rate, Nanami-seesan canât stay normal. It will most likely be difficult for her to attend a high school there too.
The only thing we can do is to spread around that if you kill Sis, you get âDivine Retributionâ, and to have her enter the protection of the country. For now, it would be around that much. Karen and I would personally enter into the category of rich people, but thatâs all it is in the end. We are in essence just mere clever children.
Without the patronage of a country, if things roll into murder, we wouldnât be able to do anything. Running has its limits, and if they were to take Karen hostage at this stage, I really wouldnât be able to retaliate.
(âŠI have begun to think negativelyâŠbecause of God.) (Celica)
I was originally the positive type.
I was the type that thought âit has gone well until now, so we will be able to manage from here on tooâ. And the reality is that we have done exactly that -manage somehow.
But since the time Brother was sent to the isekai, the things I do tend to end up blowing up on me more often.
How to say itâŠthereâs bad timing. Thatâs right, the timing has been bad in everything.
Even so, it is hard to think that God is targeting me and Brother.
If we are talking about the intervention of God, there have been more than hundreds of Chosen who have died from misfortune.
This is just in terms of results, but Brother has survived, gotten stronger, and has a lot of viewers too. If it were really targeting him, he would have died a long time ago.
âŠNo, the life of Brother had ended to begin with at the time when he was killed together with Nanami-neesan.
I took a seat and checked the status of Brother in my tablet.
Looks like it has been decided that he will be living together with Jeanne-san. Seems like they are in the middle of buying things for their livelihood.
Karen is watching along as she makes comments close to jealousy, but I let out a sigh of relief at Brother leaking out a smile. Jeanne-san having been transferred to a place relatively close to Brother is nothing but good fortune. If the one close by was someone else, it wouldnât have gone in this manner.
Looks like Jeanne-san isnât a bad match for Brother either.
My chest is stinging a little bit, but I wouldnât mistake the priorities here.
No matter how far he is, Brother and I have a bond that wonât be cut no matter what.
âEven so, whatâs with this aircraft?â (Nanami)
Nanami-neesan looks around, confirming the insides.
âDid you buy it?â (Nanami)
âNo way. It is a charter flight.â (Celica)
We are on a charter jet for private use that has 8 seats.
But the inside is extravagant, and it is made in a way that you forget you are inside an aircraft.
Well, it is possible to change it if I were to force it, but I have no intentions of doing so right now.
âAre you okay? Even if it was chartered, it is still expensive, right?â (Nanami)
âI still havenât properly explained to you, but at the time you were dead, we were doing a lot, you see. Putting it simply, we are rich now. And so, thereâs no need to worry. More importantly, watch the highlight videos of Onii-chan in the middle of the flight.â (Celica)
I press the button in the chair and a big monitor slides out in front of us.
Brother ended up going to the isekai in place of Nanami-neesan (not really sure if thatâs really the case), and was in a pretty dangerous state for a long time. It is only now that he has finally gotten out of his dangerous state and has begun to stabilize, but I am sure there will be a lot thatâs painful for Nee-san.
But she has to watch it. Or more like, she will end up watching it one way or another, so no harm in it being fast about it. This would be the fastest way to understand what has happened in the time she was dead.
We got the permission for takeoff, and we separated from the ground.
A half day flight to the other side of the world.
In the middle of the flight, I would answer the questions that would come every now and then while doing my own work.
The flight itself went on without a hitch.
There were no problems at all.
Aside from the mental state of Nee-san.
âWhatâs with this woman?!â (Nanami)
âHey, Nee-san, calm down⊠See, Onii-chan is in a pretty dangerous state here, so thanks to Rifreya-san, he has managed to stand back up in some areasâŠâ (Celica)
âEven so, I donât like this. Even Hi-chan is finding it annoying. And yet, she follows him around, and to top it off, she goes out of control on her own and almost dies. What an unbelievable landmine of a woman.â (Nanami)
âIt is true that thereâs that too, but she herself has her own good pointsâŠâ (Celica)
âHuh? Are you taking her side here?â (Nanami)
âT-Thatâs not what I meanâŠâ (Celica)
Nanami-neesan has two personalitiesâŠor not, but when it comes to Brother, thereâs times when she would suddenly snap.
The story of Nee-san calling a girl that had given a valentine chocolate to Brother and grilling her for that is a pretty famous story in our home area.
On top of that, Nee-san is tenacious like a snake, to an extent where she never forgave her parents.
Just how did a girl from a normal family -no matter how you see it- end up with a personality like this? I find it hard to understand.
Even though she usually disguises herself as a normal fluffy girlâŠ
Nanami-neesan watched the adventures of Brother with tears in her eyes, but since the moment Rifreya-san appeared, her expression steadily changed.
Looks like her patience meter ran out in the scene where they kissed under the moonlight.
âŠWell, for her, Brother was literally âoursâ, so I can understand her being pissed by this.
If I had only been watching the videos, I might have snapped like Nee-san too.
But I can understand that this is a record of Brotherâs desperate struggles to survive, and Rifreya-sanâs presence was an irreplaceable piece in Brotherâs survival.
AlsoâŠI canât think badly of someone who has fallen in love with the same person as me. This is probably composure I can show because I am his blood related little sister.
With the still pissed Nee-san at the corner of my vision, I watch the real time broadcast of Brother instead.
I wonât be participating in the watchalong, but Jeanne-san was unexpectedly powerful, she quickly coaxed Brother into a conciliation and had completed a situation where they would be living together.
As expected of the strongest woman. Acts as if she is absentminded but is actually hearty.
That she can manage to make it look like she is just prioritizing efficiency makes her really good at this⊠No, she might actually just be prioritizing efficiency⊠No, this is my woman instinct speaking here, but Jeanne is definitely trying to âconquerâ Brother here.
The person that Nanami-neesan thought was âhersâ is now at a place where her hands canât reach, and she must be feeling now as if she is being shown how other women are taking him away. She really must be feeling as if she is being strangled here.
But no matter how annoyed you are by it, we currently canât do anything about it.
The jet flew without any issues, went past Alaska, and thereâs only around 4 hours before we reach the east coast airport.
The eyes of Nanami-neesan were blazing, and was watching the edited video of Jeanne-san giving the Resurrection Gem to Brother.
I was a bit lacking in sleep because of the continuous events, so I took out the sheets to nap for a bit, but at the time when I was dozing off, a âpiririririâ sound of a call rang.
âHello. Whatâs the matter?â (Celica)
âCelican, look at the bulletin board.â (Karen)
âHm? Bulletin board? I looked at it just before and it was burning again. It is a pairing of Onii-chan and Jeanne-san, so it is in a sense naturalââ (Celica)
âJust do it! Quick!â (Karen)
I turned on the tablet at the rare threatening prompt of Karen.
And then, I soon understood the reason for her call.
âIt isnât only on the board of Onii, it is written on all of the bulletin boards, so it should be the real deal. Or more like, not even I have been able to hack this site yet, soâŠâ (Karen)
âIn 1 hour, rightâŠ? Whatâs going to be happening hereâŠâ (Celica)
I donât know the intention of God, but it should be an announcement.
It is certain that this God moves in a way to âentertain humanityâ, so it seems to be prioritizing interesting things for entertainment. As a result, they are not that worried about people dying, but that in itself might be proof that it is inhumanâŠ
But even if that power is something that a human obtained, they might have done more horrendous things, so it is unexpectedly hard to say for sure.
Whichever the case, we will be able to tell after 1 hour.
I set an alarm for 1 hour later and decided to go back to sleep.
God appeared on the TV screen just like more than half a year ago.
God only appears on the screens that are not being used. It doesnât appear suddenly in the screens that are in use. It may be to prevent accidents, but it is a God who unexpectedly shows forethought on the small details.
{I am God. My precious children, have you been doing well?}
The dazzling light silhouette says this.
They said my precious children before, but what does it exactly mean by that? It probably doesnât hold much deep meaning for this God.
{Now then, letâs go to the main topic at once. First, about the 1,000 otherworlders, it seems like it was a harsher world for you people than I thought, so close to a third died in just 1 month. That was outside expectations.}
I know what God is going to be saying next.
{Thatâs why, I have decided to do a second transfer. It was decided randomly on the first transfer, but this time around, I will make it be the people that want to go to the isekai the most. It seems like thereâs a lot of misfortune if you get sent there even though you donât want to go after all.}
And at the same time, I shouted with a bad feeling about this.
âNee-san! Your palm!â (Celica)
I forcefully grabbed it to confirm.
{Ah, right right. About the child that died having the right to goâŠshe will have her right back on her. You can call her a special case. Enjoy to your heartâs content.}
The geometrical pattern moving in the hand of Nanami-neesan.
âGodâŠ! Whatâs that about a special caseâŠ?! Arenât you just having fun here?!â (Celica)
I was about to punch the TV screen, but I endured at the very last second.
God is obviously not watching this state of mine. They are going ahead with their talk at their own pace.
{I have shortened the preparation time compared to the last one. 20 days later at 0:00 oâclock. About the Gifts before the transfer, thereâs a number of changes, so check them.}
â20 days?! So short!â (Celica)
The first time was after half a year.
Even if you are going to shorten it, thereâs limits.
{Also, about the messaging function, it has gone heavily differently from how I expected it to work, soâŠright, if I were to wrap it up in one word, it would be that many people are âabusingâ it, and it pains my heart. Considering the possibility of unfavorable information being leaked onto the 2nd batch of otherworlders, after their transfer, in around 1 monthâŠin other words, 50 days from now, the messaging function will be frozen temporarily. I plan on adjusting its functions at that time. You people should just watch over them without any unnecessary meddling.}
âFreezing the messagesâŠ?â (Celica)
That decision was shocking for me.
Brother seems to be pretty stabilized in terms of his mental state right now.
Thereâs even the chance that the message freezing will roll into a favorable direction.
But thatâs different for Nanami-neesan.
Karen and I were planning on supporting her through messages and guiding her to a good direction.
{Now then, the lucky chosen, have a fulfilling isekai life.}
God finished by saying that and disappeared.
Of course, the proof of a Chosen didnât disappear from the palm of Nanami-neesan.
At any rate, Nanami-neesan has once again been chosen to be transferred to the parallel world.
And, at the very least, it will be impossible to provide support to her after 1 month of the transfer.
