10年ごしの引きニートを辞めて外出したら

Yuuji, having a briefing session with his sister Sakura and other people

Late at night when Alice, Riese and Kotarou were sleeping.

Yuuji was facing the PC on his own.

What was reflected on the monitor were two screens.

One was Yuuji's sister Sakura. The figures of her husband George and his friend Lewis as well as the elderly husband and wife could be seen behind her. The time on the other side of the monitor was 10 am. It appears that there was a time difference between the world Yuuji was in and Los Angeles.

Reflected on the other screen was Gunji. Beside him, another person, a middle-aged man, could be seen. On their side it was late at night, similar to the world Yuuji was in.

Yuuji moved his hand while looking at Sakura and the others reflected on the monitor.

As usual they could not make out each other's voice. He seems to be communicating by typing on the keyboard. On a side note, it was in japanese. Yuuji's proficiency in english was hopeless after all.

Sakura interpreted while chatting in Japanese with Yuuji. Sakura's proficiency in english after living in the US for about ten years was at a native level.

It served as the difference between these siblings.

The topic of tonight's video conference was an introduction.

No matter what Yuuji, the american group or Japan's attorney duo would try to say, there would be no final decision on the course of actions.

Taking that into account, it has been arranged so that Yuuji would make an appearance.

That was the achievements of Sakura and Japan's side for understanding the abilities of a ten years shut-in NEET with no work experience.

"Nice to meet you, and send. Yeah, I really can't get used to doing conversations this way after all. It feels like I have to type quickly"

While grumbling, Yuuji typed his greetings on the keyboard. Unlike the bulletin board, he seems to be inexperienced in chat-type video conferences.

"Oh, for some reason George-kun is being unusually excited. Uh? Could the man next to him be an acquaintance of his?"

George and Lewis of the american group making notes behind Sakura were dancing in joy from mere greetings. On a side note, it was Yuuji's first time seeing Lewis.

"Ooh, the japanese side is going pretty crazy... This person must be Gunji-san. Even though I was told I met at the time in relation to my inheritance, I really don't remember him..."

Yuuji showed a somewhat bitter smile.

For ten years, Yuuji had confined himself in his house. After his parent's death, he supposedly had met Gunji with receiving of their inheritance and insurance payout, and Sakura also pointed out that fact. However, Yuuji's memories were fuzzy.

In spite of such Yuuji, the state of progress on Japan's side had been typed by the attorney that Gunji had found. He was fast. Even the group in America felt somewhat drawn back from his typing speed.

"Calm down a little... Aah, so Sakura said it. That's right, yup, it was supposed to be an informal gathering either way"

What illuminated inside the dark room was only the light of the monitor. Yuuji muttered late at night.

It was as if he returned to his shut-in days. However, it was different now. Less than four years since he freed himself of being a shut-in NEET. Yuuji was at present a pioneer leader, defense captain and a village chief.

Was it Yuuji's voice or the sound of the keyboard?

Her ears twitching, Kotarou slowly woke up. She had a worried face that said what's wrong, Yuuji. Kotarou too may have recalled Yuuji from the olden days after all. She was a gentle woman. Though a dog.
