“Saki, Chinatsu and Yuki have brought you a present.”
“Present?”
“Yes, a present.”
When they came to visit us in our ramshackle flat, Chinatsu and Yuki bought her a toy phone from a department store.
It was pink, Saki’s favourite colour, and the standby screen had a row of magical girls with peach hair in the middle, blonde hair on the right and blue hair on the left, all of whom were on air on Sunday mornings.
It was a children’s phone with a variety of apps, but when you touched the camera, phone or other icons, it just played music.
“Here, Saki-chan. Here’s a present from your sister Yuki.”
“Hey, I paid for it too, so it has to come from both of us.”
“I’m sorry. Then it’s a present from me and Chinatsu.”
“Aiya!”
It was a toy phone, but Saki seemed happy to receive it.
“Phone chirpu!”
[ T/N – Yes she really said that. ]
“Huh? That’s not just a sound. It’s…”
“Why don’t you pick up the phone, Mika?”
“Yes, you should play with her.”
“Eh? Oh, yeah…”
Somehow Yuki and Chinatsu pushed me to play phone with Saki, so I held a real phone in my right hand.
I was going to offer them some tea, but the black gal was doing it on her own, so I didn’t think I needed to act.
“Moshi moshi.”
[ T/N – It informally means ‘hello,’ or ‘hi.’ ]
Saki pressed the icon, and after the music stopped playing from her toy phone, our little angel started to talk to it.
“Hello? Who is this?”
“Saki! Three!”
“Thank you for introducing yourself. What can I do for you today?”
She told me her name and age out of the blue, so I treated her with respect, as if I was on a sales call.
Well, Saki seems to be satisfied, so I’ll keep going.
“Today is a very important day.”
“You have something important to tell me today? Is it for me?”
“Cho! (Yes!)”
“Yes, what’s that?”
“Cake, eat it!”
“Huh? You want a cake?”
“Ai!”
Saki told me that she had something important to tell me, and it was all about her desire to eat cake.
But this meant she wanted me to buy it for her, right?
I didn’t make cakes at home, and I usually ate them either eating out or buying them from a bakery.
(I’ll have to show her that I can make it by hand next time.)
Because Saki thought cakes were supposed to be bought.
But I didn’t expect to be asked to deliver food to a child who was new to smartphones.
I didn’t work in a delivery service, but I couldn’t blame my little angel for ordering from me.
Okay, let’s deliver.
Saki was right in front of me, looking very excited.
“I want chocolate cake.”
“I’d like a fruit tart.”
Yuki and Chinatsu were always making requests, but today they had brought us a present, so why not be a little selfish?
Yeah, that’s okay.
Now, I had to head to the recently opened cake shop in the neighbourhood with my wallet.
“…Huh? Why are you grabbing my collar?”
“See you later. I’ll look after Saki.”
“Alright, Chinatsu.”
“Have a good day!”
Saki sent me off with a big smile on her face because she knew I was going to buy her a cake.
And although she was a nursery teacher, we were grateful that Chinatsu was there to look after our little angel without any worries at times like this.
“Hey, Mika, don’t drag me.”
“I need a bagman…”
“Saki, help me!”
“Bye, Sofu-chou!”
“Oh, Saki, you’re terrible!”
“Come on, let’s go.”
It seemed that in Saki’s mind, Yuki was not coming back home.
“I’m going to eat cake too. I’ll be back.”
“Bye, Sofu-chou!”
Saki was waving with a big smile on her face, but it didn’t mean she didn’t like Yuki, okay?
It was just that she was convinced she was leaving, so she was saying goodbye.
So don’t look so sad, black gal.
[ A/N – At first I was going to change the genre and the style of writing and start a new series, but while I was thinking about it, I realized that it would be better to start a new series to attract new readers, but that would be rude to the readers who have been reading my work for a long time.
So I thought not to do it.
So I’m going to change the title a little bit, add some keywords, change the genre and the synopsis, and I’m going to serialize ‘I Am A TS Reincarnation But I Got Married’ as two chapters here. ]
