«Reincarnate process complete.»
This story was really messed up. The story of Sister Idol's virtual world took place in the Sakura Alliance, a nation made up of 138 islands that, after a long history of 100 years, also included 42 artificial islands.
The place I was reincarnated was an orphanage on one of 42 new man-made islands. Additionally, the orphanage where I underwent reincarnation as Harutora housed a secret organization that all the other kids there—aside from him—were unaware of.
(3rd Eye POV)
"Yes, of course, the child that you want has been selected, but his body is really weak and might need intensive care." Harutora was being cared for by the orphanage lady, and today she informed him that he would be adopted by someone. As a result, he was instructed to wait in a particular room where she was introducing the adoptive parents.
"It is alright!" The other voice also had that reassuring tone, and Harutora's eyes twinkled as he vividly remembered it and experienced flashes of memories from the previous Harutora, which appeared in his mind like a floodwater entering a void.
«Memory is being stored and will be released according to specific requirements when needed.»
With a silver electronic tone, the voice calmed the gushing memories and put a bar on them.
"Yes! He is waiting inside. Then come with me; it is this way." Along with those words, the sound of footsteps started to grow louder toward him. Harutora also massaged his head, which was still hurting a little due to that sudden outbreak of memories but had calmed down for now.
"Harutora! We are coming inside." A voice called before the door opened and two ladies and one girl entered, one of whom was not older than 15 years old but had a calm feeling to it, along with black hair and brownish eyes.
"Oh my, what a lovely kid!" With chestnut-colored hair, which was a natural color that the original host Harutora was born with. Harutora had the kind of endearing appearance that most boys would covet, but it tended to be a little on the girly side, which had been the root of the previous host's bullying.
Although, in the eyes of the new mother, this original set of eyes on Harutora appeared to be perfect for her and the problems he might face in the home, she also felt that Harutora might be able to co-live with his sisters easily.
'Heh! What is wrong with my new mother's expression.' He looked at the stunning woman with the red hair and the sharp features, who seemed a little excited to see him. Harutora felt that his new mother was a little weird, which was not given in the game.
"Hello there, dear." Minami approached Harutora and sat down while admiring the cute boy's expression. He appeared surprised by her appearance but had an intelligent expression, which Minami could see given that she works in the business world.
"Hello!" Harutora struggled to come up with a response, so he chose to keep his speech brief in order to avoid embarrassing himself in front of his new mother and make a good first impression.
"Hmm, we will have a lot of time to chat, so I will go and get done with the paper work. While you can have a chat with your new sister." After turning to face Harutora, Minami then turned back to face her daughter, who was still standing in the same place as when she first entered the room.
"Okay!" Harutora spoke again. A similar awkward expression could be seen on the face of the black-haired beauty who was approaching him and who appeared to be experiencing some anxiety as well.
She gave a small nod, which caused Harutora's anxiety to lessen as his mind began to remember his previous world. Along with that, Harutora finally attained the calmness necessary for both souls from different worlds to eventually merge together.
Along with that, Harutora revealed a calm look as he started to look toward the fifth sister from the game, who had that angelic, soothing personality.
She had a character that most of the boys in the player world liked, and she had a role that was set in the final chapter of this world story too, but not most people were able to reach its root.
Indeed, one of the hardest targets to conquer inside the game]
"Hello...Um Then. My name is Harutora, and I will be in your care from now on." Harutora came first out of his shell and greeted the beautiful girl with black hair.
On the other hand, Amelia, when she found Harutora introducing himself as he extended for a handshake, came out of her stupor and also held his hand while shaking with a smile. "Umm... Sorry for the late introduction. I am Shingo Amelia, and I will be in your care too, so I hope you will take care of me too."
In keeping with that, they both got to know one another and were able to hold a normal conversation. It was a little awkward, but they tried their best to talk normally.
When their mother Minami returned after finishing all the paperwork, she discovered that Harutora and her daughter Amelia could communicate, albeit awkwardly due to a lack of subject matter.
"Hmm. You are back, mom." Amelia was the first to discover Minami entering the room. Harutora joined Minami in getting up from the couch and moving toward them as Minami and the orphanage caretaker waited for them at the door.
"Good boy, now take care of yourself, and Minami will be your new mother." The caretaker smiled broadly because she was aware of the bullying that was occurring here and had tried to intervene numerous times, but each time, it only made Harutora's condition worse by the day.
"Hmm, thank you for everything, elder sister." Harutora was grateful that his previous host had someone like her in his life and thanked her profusely for all that she had done for him because he remembered how caring she had been during his time with his previous host.

«Creating the Host Name: Sis-Con»
Harutora had only just left the orphanage when he started to walk behind his mother and sister as they made their way back to the entrance.
When he first began to hear the notification, it directly entered and rang like a bell inside his head, causing a slight discomfort due to the piercing tone inside.
"Are you alright?" It was Amelia who noticed his reaction first and asked him in a low tone, which was the natural pitch of her voice.
"Yeah! Just a little headache and hunger." Harutora looked at her in surprise and grinned in a comforting manner.
"Then we have something to eat while driving back; after all, in this small town, the food is not good due to the recent magic war; it is contaminating the whole area."
Although Amelia was okay while eating those foods, looking at Harutora's health, she was not sure if they should let him eat things from contaminated areas or not.
"Eh, really, then we should avoid it." Harutora was stunned, as even his previous host was not aware of things like magic, so he needed to act surprised to act normal.
"Yeah, but we can buy them after a few minutes' travel, so do not worry about it much, and I will ask my mother if needed." Amelia pretended to be a medium while a small blush appeared on her face when she thought deeply about something, but later shook her head because she knew Harutora was uncomfortable around Minami.
"If that is what both of you want, then we can take a break at a restaurant not that far from this town." Amelia and Harutora were conversing in a low voice when Minami abruptly entered with a smile on her face, looking at them as though they had been caught off guard by her entrance. "Mom! That surprised me."
Hearing Amelia's surprised tone, Minami smiled and looked at Harutora, who nodded with a slight smile on his face as he knew that this was how Minami's character was in the game. So, he was happy to know that there was not much change in her character even in this world.
"Sure, but can I start calling you Minami-San?"
Harutora felt hesitant because his mental age was equal to hers. So, calling her mom all of a sudden made him feel a little stiff, but he knew that he would need to do it in the future, so he was trying his best by voicing it out to her.
"Eh!!!" Taken by surprise, Minami turned to look at Harutora with a doting smile on her face as she nodded at his words and knew that it would take time for Harutora to adapt to her in the future.
"Hmm. It is alright."
Both Harutora and Amelia entered the vehicle amid the silence that had preceded them, and from that point on the journey as they left town, the silence persisted inside the vehicle until all three of them arrived at the restaurant in a matter of minutes.
