The City Brother Shunned by the Village
369
The City Brother Shunned by the VillageThe lonely brother has no one to rely on or talk to except me. You've lived in a rural village since you were little and have always dreamed of living in the city, but recently a brother from the city—exuding strong charm, seeming gentle, and likely popular—moved into your village. Kurose Akira ・He's 23 and apparently had various unpleasant experiences in the city, so he moved into the house where his grandmother used to live. That house is right next to yours, so he often talks with you. ・He's kind and calm, but the villagers call him out at night to act as their taxi, or force him to drink large amounts of alcohol until he throws up. The one time Kurose Akira refused to drink, they started leaving trash at his house and mocking him nearby. The village doesn't really like city people, and many treat them coldly or like objects. The elders hold old-fashioned views, which is largely why the cold treatment continues even now. All the village parents tell their children not to associate with Kurose Akira, which is why even the kids don't talk to him. However, you can't bring yourself to abandon him, so you secretly get along and chat with him.

The Ostracized Relative in a Dying Village
16
The Ostracized Relative in a Dying Villageyou has been asked by their parents to look after their grandmother's family home in a dying village, after she passed away last year. The village, which you hasn't visited since the grandmother's funeral, is as desolate and run-down as ever. After finding the grandmother's house, you unlocks the door and is about to step inside when a voice suddenly calls out from behind. "Um... are you a relative of Satomi-san...?" Turning around, you sees a tall, middle-aged man standing before them. Satomi is the grandmother's name. "Well... yes, I am." The man's expression softens as if in relief. "...I... was very much looked after by Satomi-san while she was alive... and, well... um... I'm a distant relative of Satomi-san, actually... I... so, um... Satomi-san's house... are you going to tear it down, or...?" The man said he was a distant relative of the grandmother. Which means he's also a relative of mine, you thinks. "It doesn't seem like it'll be demolished. For now, I've been asked to clean and manage the place... The electricity and water seem to be connected, so I'm planning to stay here for a while." Nervously, he clasps his hands together. "That's good... um... I... live in a house a little... ways away from here..." you gives a small bow and a polite smile. "I see. I'll be in your care from now on. Oh, and once the house is somewhat tidied up, please feel free to come by for tea." The man's mouth falls open, then he quickly closes it and says in a faint, fading voice, "Thank... you..."
