waking up I looked at my very familiar ceiling, feeling tired I stayed looking into space for a few minutes, while I'm not a morning person I still have to get ready. Walking towards the bathroom I looked in the mirror, swiping my bangs 'I should cut my hair sometimes' Looking at my long hair I would sometimes wonder if I should go for short hair, but then I'd remember I would look more like a tomboy.
Soon, I exited the bathroom after a quick shower. "Rimu~ breakfast is ready!" hearing my mother's voice, I quickly went downstairs and waited. "good morning Father." "good morning Rimuru" my father replied, but he seemed to be even more dead inside
"Did something bad happen? you already look numb"
"My boss called for me to work... it's a damn Sunday" Looking at my father I can't help but feel pity.
"Oi, I know that expression, don't pity me" It seems I've felt so much pity for him he can guess just by my expressions
Sitting down at the table, we had our breakfast. The quiet atmosphere gave me a feeling of comfort, but I knew that in the future things are going to be anything but quiet. "Ah right, Mom today I'll be visiting some friends, planning to hang out" I remembered that I agreed to Momo's suggestion
"Friends? Since when do you have those?" My mother however cheekily replied like usual
"Hey, I have Tokoyami"
"Birds don't count humph" Not knowing how to respond I just quietly continued eating, soon enough I returned to my room as I still had a few hours before I had to leave.
My room looked very plain, with a single bed and a desk as well as a bookshelf and closet, my room didn't have much decor as I viewed it as a waste of time. I'm bored... that thought kept ringing in my mind, ever since I reincarnated I felt bored all the time, mostly because I was a little baby and couldn't enjoy the fun stuff, even now I can't just go and buy beer, so I just made use of my time by reading books or listening to music. On that note, I quickly realized that most of my most enjoyed novels or music don't exist. On that note I decided if I couldn't enjoy my novels or music, I would earn money by recreating them!
(MC steals original stuff and uses it to earn money cliche)
In my past life, I studied music theory so I knew my way around music, but I still couldn't make a good song out of it but of course, I don't need to make what's already made, sitting down at my desk I opened my computer and started recreating some songs I knew, I started with music so I can write "my" novels while listening to "my" own music, absolutely genius.
As I was living in Japan, I needed to make my music Japanese. Quickly remaking some of my favorite songs (I am pretty sure in tensura Rimuru has perfect memory) can't help but be proud of how well I remade them, unfortunately, some of those songs used lyrics so I had to record them which came to the biggest problem... my room is not soundproof, and I don't want my parents to think I am a chuunibyou but I quickly discovered that in this quirk society, there are ways to create artificial voices, especially Vocaloid as apparently there are many singer heroes... which included Present Mic.
finishing my sudden music escapade, I wanted to monetize my "hard" work. So I made an account and uploaded my music, choosing to go by the name "Milim Nava" for no reason in particular...
Looking at the time, I noticed I only had an hour to get to Momo's house, panicking, I quickly dressed up casually and started sprinting towards the train station, sitting down on one of the seats I couldn't help but mutter "That was close" hearing myself mutter like some light novel character I chuckled to myself, but I also started to hear other mutterings... non stop mutterings... annoying mutterings
"Can you please shut the fu- eh?"
"eh?...." Looking at Midoryia he looked as if he wanted to bury his head in the ground.
"Midoriya... great seeing you here..." With a forced smile, I tried to pretend like I didn't just berate him
"haha... Rimuru... what a coincidence" Midoriya scratched his head with an awkward expression "Are you going to Momo's house by train too?" I quickly extinguished the awkward silence by making small talk, "Ah! yeah but we might be a little late, I didn't notice that so much time passed so I left late... Yaoyarozu is going to be mad" Midoriya's face suddenly paled at the realization "We have to hurry Rimuru! if we are late not only will Yaoyarozu be mad at us, but Iida will be furious!"
"dayum chill, Midoriya how will we 'hurry up' were in a train, we don't control its speed" With my very clear reasoning I tried to calm down Midoriya but the anxiety-filled pushover didn't stop quaking like a leaf
"umm, Rimuru...." Midoriya suddenly snapped to me, he looked like he wanted to say something important. "uh... yes Midoriya?"
"So- um I wante- to- umm" Midoriya kept stuttering and his face started flushing more and more... am I getting a confession? does he swing that way? I wouldn't be surprised if I'm being honest.
"I wanted to thank you. I wanted to thank you for protecting us during the USJ incident... you almost died by that "Numo" thing protecting us, and I wanted to say... you were super heroic!" Midoriya finally managed to say it out loud... too out loud, feeling the surrounding gazes lock onto us is said to Midoriya "Couldn't you have said it more quietly?"
"Ah-! Sorry it's just that"
"Stop speaking," I told him with a serious tone.
*We are now reaching the Aichi Prefecture station*
"That's our stop, let's go Midoriya," I said while standing up, seeing the door open I quickly left not waiting for Midoriya
"Wait for me Rimuru!" Midoriya who only now snapped out of his stupor ran after Rimuru like he would run after a certain blonde in his childhood, all the while Midoriya was thinking 'I thanked him and he started acting all serious... he must be a softie'
Midoriya soon caught up with Rimuru, walking together Midriya couldn't help but ask, "Hey... um, do we know where we are going?"
"We're going to Yaoyorozu's home...?" Did Midoriya join in without knowing what they were doing?
"I know that! but do you know the way?"
"Who wouldn't know the way? they're rich as fuck, I mean almost every company is owned by them, rich nobles being rich nobles"
"Um Rimuru... you shouldn't swear" Midoriya looked around to see if people were looking at us.
"Doesn't really matter, respect should only be given to those who deserve it" I started to talk like a xianxia protagonist
"Ah right we are getting close" I saw that the places started to look more luxurious, I could even spot some small mansions
"Woah" Midoriya on the other hand was simply gawking at the sight of those big homes... well as expected of the poor apartment dwellers hehe
we soon reached the 'hella rich' zone, every mansion wasn't even visible as their gardens spanned hundreds of meters, with brick and bared walls and excessively large gates
looking at the sign in front of one of the gates reading [Yaoyorzu household] I knew we have arrived, now all that's left is waiting. so i started to look around when I saw some of our other classmates walking around looking a little lost.
"Hey Kaminari, hey Jiro" Waving my hand I signaled for them that this was the place, they were clearly uncomfortable realizing that Yaoyarozu was this rich
"I can't even see their house, this whole place is just a forest" Denki commented, he was right. looking into their property you'd think this is a hiking trail, well maybe their mansion is also a hiking trail in itself by how big it is.
"I dressed too casually... should I have brought a dress? oh no," Jiro started panicking.
"A dress doesn't fit you..." closely observing Jiro, she definitely doesn't fit the 'noble lady in a dress' vibe... she's more of a tsundere punk... wait am I looking too much
snapping out of my thoughts i could see the clearly uncomfortable Jiro... No doubt about it, I'm about to be labeled as a creep. seeing my career ending in an instant I felt like perhaps becoming a trap might be an option...
