Rai's POV
Shizukesa ga shimikomu yō de iki o tometa gozen goji (Breath stopped at 5AM, like a permeating calm)
Hijō kaidan de tsume o kamu asu wa docchi da? (Biting my nails at the emergency exit – which way is tomorrow?)
THE DAY HAS COME
I fucking love this song!
I do not care if it as old as 2016, I always wanted to sing this in my 14th birthday!
Wait a minute... My father was 14 in 2016... I feel old for listening this now.
It does not matter; I have to go out of my bed.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY RAI!!!"
Everybody is here, my mom, my dad, Uncle Spiller, a boy that I've never seen before... all them are here for me.
"Hey, you are Ray, right?"
"NO! My name is Rai, I hate when people call me Ray"
This boy already annoys me.
"Calm down you two. Is introductions time: Rai, he is Zin; Zin, he is Rai"
"Oh, so you are my cousin? The one I heard that is friend with a bean?"
"Yes, I am, and they are called humans"
"Hahaha, I cannot believe it, you are actually friend with them; you are the weirdest thing I've ever seen in my life!"
"You can call me weird, but I like to think that I am just a different kind of Borrower"
"A different kind of Borrower? Now, this weirdest thing I've heard in my life"
I cannot stand him.
He goes to where Uncle Spiller is.
"Dad, I have to take this weirdo to an incursion?"
"Yes Zin, for that you are here. You are only 2 years older than Rai, so it would be easier if both of you started to act like normal cousins and started to care about each other. Do not forget this Rai: tonight is your first incursion, it will be here in this house, so try to not be late"
"Sure Uncle Spiller"
I go to the door.
"Just give me a moment to say hello to Ryu, then we can move to the party"
"Sure, take all the time you need with that bean... Weirdo Ray"
This Zin is just so fucking annoying.
I go to Ryu's bedroom.
I can see his bed moving. He is masturbating, so I will wait.
Few minutes later
He stopped. I will go now.
"Hey Rai, Happy Birthday!"
"Thanks Ryu"
"Why are you here? Shouldn't you be with your family?"
"I will go with them in a moment, but I need to tell you something important"
"What is it?"
"Tonight I will have my first incursion, I will steal... I mean, "borrow" some things from your kitchen"
"I know all that, what is so important?"
"That my cousin who hates humans is here, and if he saw you, I will be in huge troubles"
"So... you are telling me, a human, that I will have to hide from you, Borrowers?"
"Well, yeah, pretty ironic"
"Don't worry Rai, I've got this"
"Thanks. I will go back with my family, so see you... tomorrow, I guess"
"Yeah, see you, have a nice day!"
I go back to my house.
"Let the party begin!"
Keshite akenai yoru mo furitsuzukete yamanai ame mo (Nights that never end... endlessly falling rain...)
Kono rokudemo nai sekai ni wa aru nda yo (Both exist in this terrible world)
Sukoshi mo hen de wa nai no madoromi ni ashi o torareteru (So it's not odd in the slightest – you're always tripping up, half-asleep)
Anata o semete iru wake ja nai nda yo (I'm really not trying to criticize you for it)
Hitori kūsō ni asobu (Playing alone in your fantasy world,)
Soko de omoiegaita koto made hajiru no kai? (Will you still feel embarrassed about the things you imagine there?)
Karamiau meikyū meikyū soredemo yuku to iu no? (This maze is tangled, so tangled, are you really still planning to go?)
Chīsaki tabibito ga kanaderu hajimari no kane no ne (The sound of a bell, played by a tiny adventurer, signals a new beginning!)
Yuku ate mo DON'T KNOW DON'T KNOW (Even your destination DON'T KNOW, DON'T KNOW)
Hontō wa kowain ja nai no? (Are you sure you aren't scared?)
Fumidasu sono ippo ippo ga kaete yukeru sa (But each step you take will change you)
