Have you ever wondered, what would happen after death?. What would be awaited us at that endpoint?. Is it eternal emptiness, a new beginning? or something else entirely?. Who knows what would happen?. Currently, I am about to find out. I died, the cause of death?... is by suicide. Apart from that, I don't have a recollection of myself.
The answer to that question earlier is a new beginning. Or maybe not, maybe I am a bit special. What is special about me is... I don't know. Anyway, I reincarnated to an alternated earth where the history is different from the earth I knew. First Russo Japanese-war outcome is completely different. Although the Japanese still win, in this world however Japanese win tremendously and manage to 'free' Siberia and make Mongolia its client state. Secondly, world war 1 or simply the great war end up in a stalemate and instability happening in the entire world. Mexico joins the central power so the USA can't deploy any troops to Europe. Making the war lasting even longer, ending on 12 Aug 1925. The consequence of the war is a worldwide full revolution. The Japanese were able to take advantage of the situation and 'liberate' much of South East Asia and form Greater East Asia's co-prosperity sphere. And third, world war 2 never happens fearing world destruction if it ever happens.
Your guess is as good as my guess I imagine, you probably assume the nuclear bomb is developed early. Well, that answer is the wrong one. Apart from history, there is something more different in this world than my previous one. That is the existence of an Esper, a human being with extraordinary power and an abyssal beast that comes from a dimensional crack. What more surprising is, only Esper and the Head of government know the existence of this abyssal beast. Even more, the public has no clue about Esper's existence. Is forbidden to get ordinary people to get involved in Esper's affair. If you ever get caught revealing the secret to the public eye, the consequence is heavy. You will be executed and the ordinary people around you will have their memory altered.
I myself am an Esper, together with my father and my little brother. My mother and my twin sister however are just ordinary people. Or so we thought... My mother is still ordinary, but my twin sister, Aria is a bit special. She is an Esper, but the Esper association forbids to let her know her own power. According to them, her power is super powerful and is better to let it dormant and never be awakened. I don't know the detail, but apparently, in wartime, people like Onee-chan are being used as a weapon of mass destruction. And because of people like Onee-chan, large-scale war never broke out again ever since the great war. In a way, Onee-chan is like walking and living nuclear weapons.
But even Onee-chan didn't aware of her power, she occasionally leaked some pressure and intimidating aura. She also has a charismatic charm that makes people want to follow her. This part of her is actually a fun one. I already lost count on how many times Onee-chan almost accidentally made a secret esper organization because of that.
Well, Onee-chan is... I want to say a cute girl, but that's not right. She's more handsome and cool than cute. If not for the occasional silly thing she did when at home, I probably had long forgotten that Onee-chan is a girl. Now in middle school, her feminine side has shone quite a bit. she also grows her hair to shoulder length and the school uniform makes you more aware that Onee-chan is a girl. And I think she's happy to be acknowledged as a girl. Even though in the past she acts in an ungirly manner voluntarily, she seems to be regretting that. I wonder why did she regretting that?.
"Irana... what are you doing?."
"I am following Onee-chan to write a diary too..."
"Eeeh... is that so... can I read that?"
"EH... nooo, this is my secret!!."
"Right right, sorry for preaching your privacy Irana..."
Onee-chan then smiles and pats my head.
Yeah, my Onee-chan is weirdly unique, but she is always been the best Onee-chan in the world for me.
