"Kyoko."
A woman with black hair and brown eyes, turned around, only to find a stupid-idiot-looking boy behind her. She has a normal appearance, just like other girls, with normal charms and normal clothes.
"What?"
Unfortunately, her personality is not normal. She responded to the caller with a rude tone.
"Do you have money?"
"No. I'm broke. If I have one too, I will not give you."
"Oh! Come on, Kyoko!! I need money right now!! It's an emergency!! Please!! Help your little brother!!!" The black hair guy begging.
Natsuki Kyoko, 21, an office worker, only gives a disgusting look at her brother, Natsuki Subaru. She can't enjoy her special tempura shrimp because of him, especially during her off day. Can't he leave me for one second!!?
"No! I told you I'm broke. Go ask Dad, dumbass. Let me enjoy my food. Ughh... This is the only day that I can rest, and you are already ruining it."
"You know that if mom discovers that I spend 10k Yen on my game... Then, if I ask Dad for money, Mom will know no matter what happens ---"
"YOU DID WHAT!!!?"
Subaru immediately covered Kyoko's mouth with his hand. His index finger is on his lips as he tries to shush his sister for being loud.
"Shut up. Keep your voice down. Mom is still outside the door, but her super hearing can kill us."
Kyoko grabbed her brother's wrist and pushed it away roughly. She gives a deathly stare, "The one who is going to die today isn't us but you, idiot. What the fuck do you spend that much on the game? Do you think money comes from the sky!?"
"Bitch, slow down your voice! I can't help!! I'm gambling addiction."
"Fuck this. I'm out. I'm not giving you my money. Go fuck off and let me enjoy my food."
"But sis~" Subaru looked at his sister, sparkling and shiny eyes, begging for help cutely, which made Kyoko feel more disgusting. He always pulls this movement when he is unable to persuade Kyoko.
"NO FUCKING WAY!! GO AWAY!! MOM!! SUBARU BEING BASTARD AGAIN!! HE TRYY BORROW MONEY FROM BROKE OFFICER WORKER!!"
"WHAT THE----!!! HEY!! AT LEAST YOU HAVE A JOB!! LOOK AT ME!! I'M JOBLESS AND BROKE!!"
"THEN, GO STUDY, STUPID!!! IF YOU GET GOOD GRADE, YOU WILL GET WHAT YOU WANT!!!"
A middle-aged guy just entered the living room, only to fight two siblings wrestling on the floor. The sister headlocks the brother while the brother pulls the sister's hair.
"Oh. Fighting again?" Natsuki Kenichi, the father of two siblings, only watches his children fighting instead of stopping them.
"D-Dad... Dad!! Help me!! Kyoko try to kill me!!"
"You little shit!! Don't believe him, dad!! He tries to waste our wealth on his non-existent waifu!!"
"Ha!! Said the one who spent her money on naked male characters!!"
"At least I'm using my money and not our parents money---STOP PULLING MY HAIR!! I'M GOING BALD, MOTHEFUCKER!!!"
This turn, a beautiful woman returns from the backyard with a basket. She's Natsuki Naoko, the mother and the only one who can stop this disaster siblings from chaos, "Ara? Are they fighting again?"
"Well, what we can do? Siblings." Replied Kenichi, which made Naoko chuckle as they watched their children's tantrums.
There's no way this house can be silent when two siblings fight. Because of them, this whole family is filled with happiness and laughter every day.

"What do you mean by the investigation stopped!!!? My daughter is still not home, and you said she's dead!!!?"
The father keeps telling the police in charge.
The mother is crying, heartbroken,n, as she refuses to believe what she hears.
Lastly, the brother. He can only watching. Watching both his parents feel hopeless as he keeps blaming himself.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Natsuki..... But... You have to accept the truth. The blood stain, when found near the cliff, clearly is your daughter's blood. All her stuff, including clothes, medicine,, and even her identity car,d, was found right below the cliff, next to the river. It's been weeks, and we don't find any of her tracks. My apologies for your lost, Mr. Natsuki...."
The father screaming. For the first time, the brother saw his father rage expression. A kind-hearted guy like Kenichi can be a different person when they lose someone dearly.
Natsuki Kyoko, the eldest daughter of Natsuki's family, was found missing after hiking with her friends. The witness and her friends said that she was known missing during heavy rain, which was miscalculated as a sunny day in the weather forecast.
"Dad, Mom..... I will return to my room...."
The brother turned around and left the parents. He stayed silently in his room, in his bed, only to deny that his sister actually disappeared without any track. She can be alive or... Dead.

"Ughh...." Groaned the black hair woman in pain. The first thing she tries to do is try to move her finger. Unfortunately, her body is weaker than her thoughts.
Slowly, she regains her last strength to wake up from the ground. Her body was in bad condition, and waves of pain impulses were sent over her body. She can feel a headache, but it's not bad.
"Where the fuck I am?"
Her eyes moved as she was analyzing around, only to find herself in the forest. She tries to recall her memories, but half of them are missing. She still remembers going out hiking with her friends on weekends. The last thing she remembers is she's losing balance and falling from a cliff.
"Am I dead? Is this the afterlife?"
That is what she thinks, but if she truly dies, shouldn't a handsome angel appear in front of her?
She looks at her bruised hands. Her clothes become dirty because of the dirty. What a shame. Her expensive black trekking jacket was ruined along with her hair. But, that's not important.
What's more important is...
"The fuck is this?" She asked herself as she grabbed a black katana adorned with blue tassels on the tsuba beside her. She doesn't remember buying or bringing this thing during her hike, which means it's not hers.
But.
THE DESIGN IS TOO DAMN COOL!!!
So, she decided to take it since no one had taken it.
Well, now. Let's introduce the main character in this novel.
Natsuki Kyoko is the normal officer worker in Natsuki's family. I was born, lived, and kept alive in Japan since birth with a normal family and normal life. Natsuki Kenichi as my father, Natsuki Naoko as my mother, and Natsuki Subaru as my brother.
Unfortunately, that's not my true background.
The truth is I'm actually a reincarnator.
Yep, you hear that. This is not my first life. It's my second life.
In my previous life, I'm also an officer worker, just like now. Why did I choose the same profession? Like I have a damn chance. If I have a chance, I don't want to take that job anymore.
Overdue, overworked, overtime. I'm so fucking tired; I want to sleep and enjoy my dessert if I have time. But no, I'm being a slave company worker like fucking idiot.
Then, I die because of being overworked. Instead of giving me a damn rest, I was reborn again. I have to go through the boring process of life again, SCHOOL. Thankfully, I'm managing to pass and work like hell.
"Now then, let's find someone who can help me----"
Suddenly, there's a howl of a monster from far away, making the woman. She turned around and found herself surrounded by a bunch of wolf beasts. They have red eyes, drooling over prey, and a single spike-like horn on their snouts. Unconsciously, the woman is sheathing her katana without realizing what she is thinking.
The katana released an unpleasant scent along with dark mist, which made the beast take one step back fearfully. As if they were actually afraid of the katana rather than the woman. But, that will not change the true instinct for mindless beasts.
One of them, run towards the woman with bared fangs, ready to kill the prey in one bite. Unfortunately, they don't realize who's their opponents.
In the blink of an eye, every single predator was sliced into pieces. The woman remains unmoved as if she doesn't move to kill the enemies---- No. It's because her movement is much faster to being seen by the naked eye.
The red blood spills everywhere, including the ground and trees, but not on the woman's clothes. The katana was created back before Kyoko returned to her senses. She was even shocked at what have she done, especially when the pain she felt earlier disappeared like it had never happened.
".... Am I being Isekai'd? Because there's no way this monster exists in my world."
The woman looks at the dead body of the beast. Neither of pity nor fear filled her eyes. She only watches them silently without any guilt before she decides to take one step and leave the place as if nothing happened.
