I Was Possessed By An Unknown Manga - Chapter 389



389 – [Side Story] There’s Something Strange About My Family

My name is Saionji Suisei.

He is a very ordinary boy who will be entering his first year of middle school this year.

My father is Korean and my mother is Japanese, so I have a Korean name, Kim Hye-seong, but since I lived in Japan, I was more used to being called Suisei.

It wasn’t the introduction of some kind of light novel, but the foundation of being very ordinary was laid from the beginning because, unlike me, who is ordinary, my family is very special.

How special is it that they make such a fuss?

First of all, the first special thing is that he has ten mothers compared to one father.

Considering the fact that in an ordinary family there is usually only one father and one mother, in our family there are ten mothers, so we had to call them by their first name before the title “Mama.”

Mama Rika, Mama Sasha, Mama Karen, etc.

Now I call her Mama because I’m embarrassed to call her Mama, but some of my younger siblings still call me Mama.

The second special thing is that there are as many as eight brothers who are the same age or older than us.

Although their birth dates are slightly different, they are all the same age, so they fought a lot since they were young about who was the older brother and who was the younger brother.

Of course, since I was born first, I took the title of eldest, but it feels like a meaningless title.

Among my younger siblings, there are a lot of them who are extraordinary unlike me, so should I say that I feel like I have nothing to show off other than this?

And the last third special point.

It was the fact that my family was extremely wealthy.

“Are you here, master?”

“I’ve prepared a limousine for you to take you to school. Come on, let’s get in.”

“So! There’s no need for this!”

Even though I shouted that, the driver didn’t even bat an eye.

And that was the same for the attendant who opened the door.

“This is the president’s order. Since it is the first day of school, it would be better to make a strong impact.”

“… I will call my mom directly, so please step aside.”

“I understand.”

In the end, the taxi driver and the attendant took a step back, probably because they thought my stubborn attitude wouldn’t work.

After taking a breather, I immediately called her mom.

[What’s happening? Our son?]

“Mom! I told you I would take the subway to school, so there was no need to prepare a limousine!”

[But today is the first day of school, so you might get lost. That’s why I told you in advance to leave on time.]

“Anyway, I’m going to take the subway, so you know that!”

[Son? Son!]

As soon as I hung up the phone in anger, my mom called again, but I decided to ignore it.

This is because I know that if I receive it anyway, my mom will nag me with worry.

At that time, the door of the house opened and my younger sister Nagisa came out.

“Oppa? What are you doing there when you’re not going to school?”

“Oh, I’m going to go now.”

Minato Nagisa.

She is the same age as me, but she is a genius child actor who entered the entertainment industry at a young age, influenced by one of her mothers, Nao Mama.

Unlike me, who is said to be the eldest child but has no special talents, Nagisa was someone whose very existence seemed to sparkle.

“But where did Mana go?”

“She said she would drive me to school and I said okay.”

“Eh, I like going by car.”

“If you show off too much because you’re rich, you’ll look unlucky.”

“My brother really takes after my father so much that it’s a shame. The person who will inherit the Saionji Group in the future has a very common sense.”

Mana grumbled as she said that, “Then I’ll have to ask my dad to give me a ride to school ~ ♪” And went back into her house, humming.

Well, unlike me, Nagisa is quite well-known among the general public, so it might be better for him than taking the subway.

Thinking like that, I shrugged my shoulders and quickly ran to the subway station near my house to catch the subway before it was too late.

***

The school I will be attending from today is Ichijo Academy, my father and mother’s alma mater.

Ichijo Academy, built in the center of Minato Ward, famous for having the most expensive land in Tokyo, was renowned as a prestigious school in the surrounding area.

I was originally planning to go to a middle school near my house, but due to my mother’s strong insistence on her, I was forced to attend Ichijou Academy.

According to her mother, the Saionji family had a great influence on the establishment of this academy, so it seems that all members of the family have attended this school for generations.

Beep!

When I stamped my transportation card on the ticket gate and came down to the subway platform, I saw many students like me waiting for the subway to go to school.

As the new semester begins today, everyone must be feeling excited.

While I was thinking this, looking around out of the corner of my eye, someone suddenly tapped my shoulder.

“Comet!”

“Huh?”

When I heard a familiar voice, I turned my head and saw my childhood friend Rin standing right behind me.

“Rin?”

“It’s a coincidence that we met here.”

As Rin says that, she turns her back and smiles.

Her white hair, reaching down to her waist, swayed in the wind blowing from the platform and smelled like good shampoo.

Her full name is Rin Sakamoto, and Rin’s father, Mr. Ryuji, and my father are close friends.

One of the mothers was Ryuji’s younger sister, so we were cousins, if you were to be specific.

Of course, not a single drop of blood was mixed.

“Starting today, we too are middle school students.”

As I said that, I glanced at the school uniform Rin was wearing.

“Yes, that’s right.”

Unlike elementary school, when people went to school in plain clothes, school uniforms exist starting from middle school.

And our school uniform was the commonly known sailor uniform.

Of course, it had a slightly modern design rather than a traditional feel, but it still felt like a dream to be able to see Rin in a sailor suit.

Lin must have noticed my gaze at that time, huh? She looked at me and then smiled and lifted the hem of her skirt.

“How do you feel? Is it pretty?”

I couldn’t answer Lin’s question right away.

To be honest, she was incredibly pretty, but I felt embarrassed to say it out loud.

But when Rin slightly shook the hem of her skirt as if fussing, I finally gathered up the courage to open my mouth.

“Yes. It’s pretty.”

“Really?”

Perhaps because she heard what she wanted, Rin looked happy.

While we were all embarrassed, a subway arrived on the platform.

“Ah, the subway has arrived.”

When I hurriedly changed the subject by saying that, Lin agreed, saying, “Yes, that’s right.”

Eventually, when the train doors opened, people rushed out like the ebbing tide.

Immediately after, we boarded the subway where people had left.

***

The time it takes from home to school is about an hour by subway.

This is because the distance between Setagaya-ku and Minato-ku is quite far, and it seemed like it took more time because I had to transfer in the middle.

It was morning, so I rode the crowded train and by the time I finally arrived in front of the school, I felt exhausted.

“Wow, there are so many people.”

I never thought it would be this bad because I went to the entrance ceremony by car before, but the hell I had only heard about was beyond my imagination.

‘I have to do this every day from now on.’

I wondered if I was being brave in the morning for no reason, but I decided to hold back because I already felt like my life would be far from normal if I only looked for comfort.

We barely arrived at the main gate of Ichijou Academy.

Perhaps because it was 8 a.M., Students were seen going to school along the cherry blossom-lined school route.

Since Ichijo Academy basically combines the middle school and high school divisions, it wasn’t that difficult to see seniors on the way to school.

Unlike the middle school uniform, the high school uniform felt like a standard uniform with a blazer, but the skirt was short, which was good for eye candy.

“Hye.Seong.Ah?”

At that time, I heard Rin’s angry voice next to me, so I pretended not to notice and returned my gaze.

After passing through the main gate, I headed to the middle school building where I had been for the entrance ceremony.

Perhaps out of consideration for new students, there was a layout map posted in front of the front door, and the class 1-C I was assigned to was just a left turn from the shoe rack on the first floor.

Grumble!

When I entered Class 1-C with Rin, who was assigned to the same class as me, I felt the eyes of the students who had already arrived earlier focused on us.

New semester.

Since they are the only ones seeing this for the first time, they are naturally interested.

I sat down in the empty seat by the window, trying my best to ignore all the stares that were pouring in.

Of course, today is my first day of school, so it’s not my seat, but since it’s in a corner, it seemed like the place that would get the least attention.

Rin follows me and sits next to me.

Maybe it’s because we’ve been together since we entered the classroom, but I can feel them looking at us with curious eyes.

However, because we had not formed a friendship yet, no one spoke first, so we felt awkward and just waited for HR time.

Eventually, when all the students in class 1-C had arrived at school, the front door of the classroom opened and a female teacher dressed in a suit came in.

Probably the homeroom teacher who will be in charge of our class for one year from today.

And as if my expectations had not been wrong, the female teacher standing in front of the teacher’s table spoke with a confident voice.

“Hello! Everyone! My name is Nanae Mizuki and I will be the homeroom teacher of Class 1-C starting today! My major subject is English, so if you don’t know anything while studying, feel free to ask!”

After her teacher’s self-introduction, we started clapping as if we had made a promise.
