Rich to Poor Reincarnation

Ch-4 School

Finally...

Today is the day that will bring me the real and benificial knowledge about this country.
I am eager to know where the hell I am reborn. Because the traditions here are really weird. The name of the currency which is used in this country is what I never ever once heard off.

Ahem...

But, today I will able finish my curiosity about where I live.
Because today is the first day of my school.

I am going to school for the first time today after being reborn here four years ago.

My parents are also very excited about the beginning of my school life.

But....

Something weird happened last night.

After having my dinner I was just about to go to sleep but my parents asked to me to come to them.

I was a bit surprised because it was very unusual of them to call me in this night after dinner.
Maybe they want to say something important to me.
My curiosity is just bursting out.

Come to think of it for what reason they would call for me.
It will be not like they will tell me that I am soon going to have a sibling or something, Right?
Right.....?

No..No..No.. I can't let that happen. As a former older brother myself I know that my parents will start to care more about my sibling than me.
If this ever happened my younger sibling would take my parents attention from me and I will again become an ignorant older brother.
No will care about me and they will even forget that I exist.

I know it's sad but it's the harsh truth.

I started to move towards my parents while thinking all this.

And, when I reached towards my parents I was having a very tensed face which was sweating heavily.

My mother opened her mouth in order to say something.

I was just repeating this line in my mind

Please, not a sibling...
Please, not a sibling...
Please, not a sibling...

It's a really serious thing for me.

And, then my mom said to me
"Archy, I have a gift for you."

After listening to these words my eyes widened. My father's and mother's expression was looking very happy.

Damn you,.... father it's all your fault, couldn't you just control your lust. And, now you are even smiling in front of me.

You wil definitely pay fot it.

But,
It will be not what I am thinking, right?

While thinking this I asked in a trembling voice with fake excitement on my face
"Oh,...really..wha...what is it?"

If it's a gift then it will be first gift ever after being reborn.
It will be my first gift because in this country people don't celebrate birthdays.
It's kind of weird.

"But first, you will have to close your eyes and put your both hands forward, Okay."

Close my eyes..?
And... put my hands forward..?
But.... Why!?

With all these things my suspicion is growing even more stronger.

But anyway, I will have to close my eyes.

And while thinking that I closed my eyes in front of my parents and put my hands forward to them.

While I had closed my eyes I was just repeating that I don't want a sibling.
