Chapter 105: Jugemu's family
(Jugemu's pov)
My name is Jugemu no Kokogi Suikeru Kajiregami ni Rojiku Furaimatsu ga Baibo Baibo Baibo no Garingan Garingan no Sheringan Sheringan Sheringan no Bonbopoki no Bonbokona no Chokyumi no Chosuke but everyone calls me Jugemu. I've been living on Earth for some time now, and I have got used to living here.
I work a few part-time jobs to buy and send food and money to my family. Earth's food is very delicious, especially fish. On my home planet, we needed to have a group of 100 hunters to even attempt to hunt fish. They are just too dangerous, so I'm very impressed with Earthlings.
What's more, the aquatic population here is tastier than where I come from, and as we all know, the more delicious the food is, the harder it is to hunt it.
I'm very thankful to Ryoto for giving me a chance to work. He even helped me at times to understand human culture, and I love the manga Zastin-San and Ryoto are making. Peter is someone who I would like to meet and even, to some extent, be.
He makes mistakes, cares for his family, and has money problems just like me. With great power comes great responsibility. It's a great saying that, in my opinion, everyone should live by.
Unfortunately, a tragedy will come soon. I got a letter from my sister that she will come to Earth to visit me.
Usually, I would be happy, but my sister can be very... rebellious. She likes to fight, and unlike me, she doesn't use any weapons.
She doesn't need to. Females of my species not only are physically stronger than males but also are more agile than them, thanks to their smaller and more flexible bodies, but the males are still the ones who hunt for food, so if someone died, it wouldn't be a big loss.
I am one of the exceptions on my home planet since my strength is comparable to that of the strongest female warriors, and that's why I decided to work and let my little sister have normal childhood filled with fun that I didn't have. Still, I know that dream will probably not be fulfilled because I was not the only exception in my family. My sister was as well.
Not knowing what to do, I ran to the manga office, and luckily, both Zastin-San and Ryoto were there.
Jugemu: "Help! My sister is coming!"
(Ryoto's pov)
Ryoto: "A sister? I thought that you don't have siblings."
Jugemu looked confused at what I said.
Jugemu: "I don't. What are you talking about?"
His answer confused me even more.
Ryoto: "But you have a sister..."
Jugemu: "Yes, my sebling. I don't have any brothers, you know, siblings."
Ryoto: "...Both sisters and brothers are called siblings."
Jugemu: "Really? I'll remember it then."
He took out the note called 'The things I need to remember, part 24' and wrote down the thing he had just learned.
Zastin: "Don't you have a universal translator equipped?"
Jugemu: "To save some money, I didn't buy it and learned about 10 Earth's languages that I thought would help me on my job."
Ryoto: "How long did it take you?
Jugemu: "I'm embarrassed to say that it took me a whole two weeks."
Hearing that, I almost coughed out blood. I mean, I know six languages myself, and I didn't need to learn them, but I know how hard it is to learn one, and he just said that two weeks for ten languages is a long time.
Is he talented, or does his species have an easier time learning?
Jugemu: "Nevermind that, we have a big problem."
Ryoto: "Right, your sister. Why is it a problem? Does she look down on other races or want to conquer other planets?"
Jugemu: "Not to my knowledge, but she'll probably cause a lot of trouble and definitely will want to punch you."
What?
Ryoto: "Why me specifically?"
Jugemu: "She hates when someone doesn't look her in the eyes while talking and because your eyes are always closed..."
Ryoto: "...She'll punch me? But why?"
Jugemu: "My sister lives by the saying 'if you can't look someone in the eyes, you're trying to hide a lie', and she hates liars. She probably got it from our mother. She taught us to be as truthful as possible, and I also follow this rule, but my sister takes it to the extreme and thinks of every liar as an enemy."
...
Ryoto: "First of all, your mom sounds like a wonderful person, and second of all, your sister is a psycho."
Jugemu: "I'm embarrassed to say that my sister is... impulsive, but she is a good person. Just a little bit lost."
Ryoto: "Do we know at least when she'll come?"
Jugemu: "I don't know. She didn't write it, but you should expect her at any moment. She'll probably try and find you."
Ryoto: Again, why?"
Jugemu: "While writing to her, I described everything I experienced, and it included meeting you..."
I see where this is going.
Jugemu: "And I wrote that without your help, I would be able to send money and food to them. I also described your appearance."
I facepalmed hearing him.
Ryoto: "Is she stronger or weaker than you. If she is coming after me, I would like to know."
Jugemu: "She is a more skilled fighter than me, stronger than me, and more agile than me. The only thing I'm better than her is swordsmanship, but that's just because she is not interested in it."
Ryoto: "OK, last question. Why did you ask for help since it looks like you won't be in any danger."
Jugemu: "I don't want to disturb the neighbors. They said that as of late, they have difficulties with sleeping, so I don't want to take away from them their precious quiet time."
As we were discussing what we would do, someone destroyed the wall to the office.
That was a girl with animal characteristics. She definitely was accustomed to living in or underwater. She had a beautiful but wild appearance. Her arms and legs were covered in smooth skin? or something similar to probably ease swimming. She also possessed a powerful tail behind her back, and she had mermaid-like ears pierced in a few places, so she could wear earrings. Her breasts were on the smaller side but pretty plumpy. Her hair was unkempt and short.
She wore a skimpy outfit and had a wide smile showing off her white teeth.
???: "Nii-san, I came to visit and help you with a minor problem."
(A/N If you are curious about her appearance, I based her race on Nereids from 179267. Have fun reading ;)
