My name is Takayashiki Shiina. I'm 15 years old. I was born in an 'ordinary' family in Saitama Perfecture as the oldest daughter of Takayashiki family. My family wasn't rich and wasn't poor either. We lived our ordinary life just like any other family.

My father was an author. He was always writing stories about hero's adventure. He also always acted like one sometimes so he was always looked like an old man who had an eighth grade syndrome.

'Shiina, it's might be sounded silly but do you believe in another world?'

He asked me once before. My older brothers used to be passionate in this matter in the past but after some times, they stopped as they thought it was childish. They often had some quarrel with father but father never got seriously angry at them.

'I won't be angry or hate them. This is their choice to believe in my story or not. And it's also up to you which side you choose. But, I will give you this little advice of mine. Whether you're summoned or not you must always protecting the weak and never siding with the evil. It doesn't matter if you're not a hero. Even a simple villager can save others despite being weak. If you don't have strength to do so, it's not a sin to rely on others.'

Whenever I asked him why he isn't angry, he always said that. I didn't know what that means till one day I saw it by myself.

On a certain day, I got involved in certain incident. The bank I was visiting with my mother was robbed by an armed robber. I wasn't alone at that time but nobody dared to move. My mother hugged me tight to protect me.

'Goodness, to think I will meet such third rated villains.'

Only my father was sitting calmly beside me. He spoke sarcastically quite loudly. He even acted like nothing happened and was writing some manuscript on his paper. One of the robbers approached him. He, who looked like a senile old man, was threatened with a gun to his forehead.

'Yare, yare, I guess I got no choice then.'

He muttered before taking action.

STAB!!

Without any warning, he stabbed the hand holding the gun with his pencil.

"GYAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!"

The robber screamed and attracted the other robbers' attention. He sent his palm strike to the robber's jaw before pulling the stabbed pencil and threw it toward another robber. He moved quite lightly but the pencil flew straight and sank deep into the other robbers' shoulder.

He neutralized two of them rather easily. He picked up the gun of the fainted robber and pulled the trigger toward the lamp stand above the second robber. The lamp lost its support and fell down toward the robber below it and knocked him out.

My father then pointed the gun at the last robber but he didn't pull the trigger as the robber was holding a hostage. Both of them were pointing their gun at each other. Father stared at him in the eyes without hesitation. For the first time, I saw that gallant side of him.

BANG!!

Gunshot was heard. Blood dripped toward the floor but it came neither from my father or the robber. After the gunshot, the police poured in from the entrance and backdoor. My father sighed and handed the gun to the closest police. My mother and I were sent home but my father was staying for interrogation. He came home quite late afterward and at the next morning, I became famous in the school after my father was interviewed by the TV reporters and his heroic deed was known to public.

I believed in my father story till today. I was always reading his stories whenever he finished his drafts.

'Father, did you have a wife in other world?'

I asked him as I read his book which just got published recently. He stopped writing for a moment and looked at the ceiling.

'Hmm... I don't have one but I probably had a child there.'

He said.

'Eh?'

I was dumbfounded by his words.

'You see... before I was sent back my party member, Emilia, kind of pushing me down. So, there's a chance that you have an older sibling.'

He said while scratching his head with his pencil.

'Does mother know?'

'Of course. But, since she can't meet either of them, she didn't care.'

'I see...'

'If you're summoned, you can bring back a husband or a child with you.'

'Then, why did you not bring Emilia-san here?'

'She's a Saint of that world. She's needed for the revival of humanity.'

'I see... do you love her?'

'You can say I loved her in the past. But, now I have your mother.'

'Then, if you can meet her again...'

'Although it was impossible in sense, I wish I can see her again. Though, I don't know what should I say to her. I'll just thank her and apologize I think.'

He said while scratching his head and had a sloppy yet innocent smile on his face.

But, I never know that this would be the last time I hear his voice before I was summoned into another world.

"Uuuu"

I woke up in my room.

"Good morning, Takayashiki-sama. It's almost the breakfast time so I advise you to get ready as soon as possible.

A maid said beside my bed. I nodded and thanked her as usual. After changed my clothes, I headed out to the dining hall.

"You look so energetic today, SHiina."

A male voice called me from behind. I turned back and saw a boy with black hair and black eyes like me. He was the team leader of my party. He was also the reason I arrived in this dragon realm. And he is also-

"Yes, Ren-nii-san."

-my elder brother from another world.
