Chereads / The Extra Want to Live / Chapter 3 - Chapter 3

Chapter 3 - Chapter 3

10:20 a.m. I arrived at the park with my mother.

The surrounding park has tall trees and greenery. There is a pond in the middle and is surrounded by a running track. This place is quite clean. If it didn't rain, it would be cleaner.

There were not many people in the park area. Mother took me to sit on a bench by the pond.

As I sat on my mother's lap my mother asked softly with a smile.

"The air is nice and fresh, isn't it, Nate?"

I tilt my head slightly. before nodding slightly

My mother smiled slightly before muttering softly.

"What menu should I make for lunch?"

At that time, a mother and daughter walked by and greeted my mother.

She is a beautiful woman similar to my mother. But she has Japanese charm. Hair as black as silk, black eyes, she seemed unapproachable at first, but also kind-hearted.

It is not uncommon for people from different countries to gather in the same place. Similar to my storyline

"Hello Mrs. Irene."

"Oh, come on, Yuki. You speak like a person who is far away."

"Hehehe. How are you these days?"

"Well, I got more rest and... I'm very happy during this time."

Irene smiled faintly and patted my head gently.

"Me too, but I'm a little tired because Umi often wakes up in the middle of the night."

"What should I say? Nate has it too. But not often If he cries, sometimes I have to get up and look at him, haha."

I looked at my mother, wanting to protest. But what should I do when I'm hungry in the middle of the night?

But thinking again, I can only think in my mind. 'I'm sorry, Mom.'

At that moment, I looked to my right. I saw a small girl with black hair and black eyes. Even though I said she was small, we weren't that different. At that moment, she looked at me with a strange superiority. I could feel it! My instinct tells me!

Then we turned away from each other.

"Hmph"

"Hmph"

It seemed like both my mother and her mother had been close friends before. Because this isn't the first time I've met them. She often comes to visit us at our house.

Before I looked around again inside the park It doesn't look any different from the era around 2020. It looks like where I live is District 66TH, Determined by the United Nations, this region has 3 seasons: summer, rainy season, and winter without snow.

It's probably June now. which is the beginning of the rainy season

At that moment I felt eyes staring at us. But I couldn't figure out where I was looking. I definitely didn't think of it myself. This is not the first time But the eyes staring at us had no malicious intent. So I didn't panic too much.

"Hey Yuki, do you have any menu recommendations for me?"

"Um.. Let me think about it first."

"These days I like to make curry rice. As for what Umi eats, it's porridge with eggs, tuna, and pumpkin. How about you?"

"Me? It's a boring menu. Such as fried rice... Stir-fried mixed vegetables? "

"'Then why don't you try my recipe for steamed eggs? It's called Chawanmushi."

"Sounds good, the kids will be able to eat it too. Is Umi not allergic to any food?"

"Not at all. Umi eats really well. Look at those cheeks."

Yuki said while playing with Umi's soft cheeks.

"So cute"

"Then let's go buy some ingredients at the supermarket."

Irene nodded in response. After checking that you haven't forgotten anything So we started our journey.

***

There are quite a few cars on the roads because there are many public transportation vehicles available.

After waiting for the bus for a short time Just 10 minutes to arrive.

Within the city Not very modern Just like any other city. But some buildings look big and strong but not very tall. to support various disasters

As for the supermarket, it's very big, like it's a one-stop service. There are many different raw materials from around the world.

"Irene, look at this. Today, chicken eggs are on sale too."

"Stuff at home is almost gone. I guess I'll have to stock up today."

"tamago~ tamago~ Look, the price of one pack of eggs is 4 U.

"yeah, the price is cheap because our district is quite peaceful. There is no shortage of food."

emm 4 U is about 4 USD.

U is the international currency that is used all over the world at the moment.

While I was exploring my surroundings like a child I felt those same eyes again. But this time I saw a man sipping coffee in the coffee shop across the street. He was a tall man with reddish-brown hair and a short beard. Wear sunglasses He wears long-sleeved shirts, jeans, and sneakers, and he's very muscular. At first glance, it didn't seem strange at all. But when I activated the skill Inspection with my little mana,

[ Status ]

Name : Harry White

[ Rank : A ]

Hmm, blue name? Normally people have white names. Awakened people or those who can use mana have blue names. As for the names of the other colors, I haven't seen them yet. Which is a good thing. Then this man is an Awakened. But why did he have to follow us?

At that moment, the man locked eyes with mine. He then smiled faintly with a mustache covered in milk foam. It looked funny, but in shock I quickly looked away.

I suspect Uncle isn't a bad person. So I ignored him.

***

[ 12.15 p.m. ]

Not long after that We arrived back at my house. The man who followed us disappeared.

"Phew, when I know this I should probably drive myself out. We won't have to carry things far."

"It's not too bad. Think of it as exercise, hehe."

Irene and Yuki chatted relaxedly. before placing the two children in the living room

"Nate and Umi, let's watch TV and wait for Mama to cook."

We both tilted our heads in childish wonder.

"Good boy"

When she saw that we weren't crying. she went to the kitchen.

"Well, what should we start with?"

"You cut the ingredients first. I'll make the soup myself."

"Okay"

Then there was a sound in the kitchen. I didn't care much. So I turned and saw the TV that had been turned on. It was just a normal children's TV show, like A to Z, blah blah.

There's nothing much. After the stomach is full, it is normal to feel sleepy.

But today I had a strange dream. When I woke up, I couldn't remember what I had dreamed. But on the bed right now, there was a man sitting and staring at me lying down.

"Oh, There, there. It's okay. Daddy's right here."

It's my father,Erwin.

Every time dad comes home Dad will always come to me. With a kind smile as always.

After making sure his son wasn't crying anymore and fell asleep.

"nighty night"

Erwin then returned to his main bedroom and saw Irene.

"Honey, are you asleep?"

"Not yet.. I just finished taking care of my housework."

"um.. I'm sorr-"

"No, no need to apologize at all. You haven't done anything wrong."

"but"

"Nothing at all. Everything is fine. I just want you to come back safely."

After being quiet for a while

"How was it while I was away?" Erwin said in a worried tone.

"Well, Nate and I don't go very far. Mostly we stay at home. Nate is healthy and strong. It must be because I made a wish."

"And how are you?"

"My big project is almost finished. By then, I'll probably have some free time. Where do you want to go?"

"Let me think about it first. It's late now. You're probably a little tired. Hurry and go to bed."

"Good night"

"You too"

Both of them said with warm smiles. before falling asleep
