In the morning, I get up first. It was still dark outside and therefore, I cooked and prepared food first.
After cooking, I wanted to wake Rika up but before that I opened my smartphone. There was a message from Amelia.
"Hmm, can't reach me?"
According to the information from Amelia, she said,
(Big brother, it seems like you're the only one who can contact us here. I went to the house last night and there were only shrubs and a few trees.)
(Only messages can be sent from here)
(If you wake up, call us immediately)
I read the message and immediately called Amelia.
"Ttuuttt tuuuttt"
"Thank goodness this internet phone is still connected"
I unintentionally let out a monologue like that. After all, the message from Amelia made me panic a little.
"Hello, sister.... Thank goodness it's still connected"
Amelia seemed to be very happy. It seemed to be true that only I could contact people on earth.
"Amel, what happened last night? Did you come to the house area?"
I asked curiously. Didn't they have work? I felt very sorry for Amelia and Rudy at the moment. Strangely, after I slept, I could accept all the events here at the moment. I did panic last night but right now I just feel like nothing happened.
"Big brother, last night ...."
Amelia began to tell me what happened last night. It seems to be the strangest case on earth. There will most likely be many researchers heading to my home site to conduct research.
"Alright, I see, Amel. For now, let's talk to Rika first."
"Alright, big brother...."
I quickly went up to the second floor and woke Rika up. Let's solve Rika's problem first.
Arriving at the room, I could still see Rika who was sleeping soundly where the blanket had been pushed away from her body. I hope Rika will be this calm when she figures out the situation.
"Rika, let's wake up.... It's morning, mom called you."
I said that and Rika finally woke up even though she was still complaining about not getting enough sleep.
I then gave the phone to Rika. There, Amelia immediately replied.
"Rika, mom misses you, is Rika happy with uncle?"
Amelia asked that question. She was very worried about Rika.
"Mama, don't worry. Rika is fine here. Uncle is very good to her. Mama, work with enthusiasm"
Hearing Rika's words, Amelia's feelings seemed to be getting worse but Amelia kept smiling. I finally got up the courage to speak to Rika.
"Rika, listen to uncle. Maybe now Rika can't see mom and dad anymore. Rika can only call mom and dad. From now on Rika will stay with uncle."
"Eh...?"
Rika was confused by my words. I knew it was cruel but Rika needed to know her condition. Amelia, who was listening, was already in tears because she couldn't help but feel sad.
"Right now, uncle and Rika are in another world. I don't know when we'll be back. Does Rika understand?"
Rika, who saw me and her mama seemingly thinking about something, suddenly smiled at us.
"Rika understands, as long as you can still contact mom and dad, Rika won't be sad. Rika will also take care of uncle here.
Last night uncle also told Rika that she can have a pet here."
Me, Amelia and Rudy (who had just finished showering) were stunned. Could Rika take this for granted?
But, thanks to that Amelia and Rudy were able to calm down a bit. Then I told Rika to brush her teeth and wash her face before breakfast.
While waiting for Rika to finish, I told Amelia and Rudy about the strange changes in me and possibly Rika too.
The first is about my feelings quickly calming down. Even Rika is like that right now. Perhaps this is the effect of switching worlds.
Next is about skills. I have the creation skill and Rika has the Tamer skill. This is what made me tell Rika that she can have many pets.
"What, did you guys enter the game world?"
Of course it's natural for Rudy to ask that but what's with that excited expression of his?
"Why do you even look happy, dear?"
Amelia asked in confusion. Shouldn't she be worried? This was what Amelia was thinking.
"Honey, you know I love otherworldly fantasy novels the most, right? I'm currently very jealous of big brother and Rika."
Yes, as Rudy said, this was indeed another world but it was more like the world in an online novel.
Finally, after learning about the situation, I promised that I would keep them updated regularly and would call them every night so that they could talk to Rika.
Then, Rika and I started breakfast.
"Uncle, your cooking is really good. Papa and mama can't cook as good as you"
"Hahaha .... Is that true?"
Thankfully, Rika didn't feel pressured by this incident. Then, of course, I'm more skilled at cooking than Amelia. When my parents died, I took care of all Amelia's needs. As for Rudy, he was originally from a wealthy family so he didn't need to work in the kitchen.
"Um... Uncle, you have to promise me to always cook me good food"
"Of course Rika, that's why don't worry about anything. Uncle will take care of you with all his might."
It was a nice breakfast especially for me. We then finished our breakfast.
"Rika, let's go outside and see this new world"
I took Rika outside. I also didn't forget to bring my machete just in case. Then, when I opened the door,
an amazing sight appeared in front of me and Rika's eyes.
The sky was very blue, very different from the sky in my previous home which tended to be cloudy. Then the forest with its tall trees and widespread shrubs.
"Wow, it's so beautiful here, uncle!!!"
The mesmerized Rika began to run outside excitedly.
"Rika!!! Be careful falling!"
I said as I chased after her. But suddenly, Rika's movement stopped. I quickly approached Rika and asked her.
"Uncle, there's a dog in front of our house. He seems to be injured."
When I heard that, I was shocked and immediately looked at the front yard. There indeed lay a dog- or maybe a wolf?
