I’ve Reincarnated, So I’m Going to Try Trading With Earth by Myself

Suddenly, I was given the right to use the warp room in Laboratory 1.

It' s a warp that allows me to land at a precise location.

For once, though, I couldn't believe it.

"…. Are you sure I can use it?"

I stiffened, and Galena smiled at me.

"Yeah. You said before. You want to go to yout hometown on earth. With this, I'm sure you can get there and back without anyone finding you."

I had already told Galena about my previous life.

I knew that she is a trusted companion.

But I didn't expect her to do this for me.

"I mean, can I use it for my personal reason?"

"No problem. I complained that you were having trouble warping to Earth every time, and I was granted permission on your behalf. I'm sorry, but this is a one-time thing. You can use it as you see fit given the hardships you face."

"Galena, ….Thank you."

When I bowed deeply, she laughed and said.

"Don't worry about it. You have shown me a new world. I am now living a more rewarding life than before. I'm rather grateful to you."

Galena has been very supportive of my work.

In retrospect, all I have done is thanks to her.

Yeah, I've been blessed with good friends.

Stopping myself from crying, I thanked her over and over again.

And the next day.

Galena and I were in the first laboratory of the Magic Research Institute.

The interstellar warp we borrowed this time seemed to be a state-of-the-art magical device.

A detailed map of the earth was inputted into the control device.

"The destination is Japan, northwest of Nara Prefecture, ..., somewhere around here."

Checking the map in detail with her device, Galena typed in the target location.

I won't be bringing a transport plane or anything with me this time.

This would be a completely private visit to Earth, not for business.

My conspicuous pink hair was tied back and tucked inside my clothes.

With a deep hat on, I could pass as a normal Westerner.

My hometown has a lot of tourists from overseas, so a foreign face wouldn't stand out.

This way, they won't know it's me at first glance.

"So, I wish you the best of luck."

"Yes, sir. I'm off."

After greeting Galena, I entered the warp room.

Then, my surroundings were enveloped in light.

The next thing I knew, I was gone from Maldaea.

I landed in an idyllic park.

A meadow surrounded by trees.

All around me, I could see deer walking in herds.

Yep, I'm back.

For the first time in more than twenty years, I am stepping onto the ground of my hometown.

The grassy smell, the rustic atmosphere, and the old-fashioned buildings.

It's almost the same as the old days.

"The Great Buddha is so big!"

"Amazing!"

They must have seen Todaiji Temple for the first time.

A family of tourists walked happily by, holding hands.

They didn't seem to notice my presence.

"…. Let's go home."

I start walking down the nostalgic street towards home.

In advance, I had contacted Gen, a friend from my previous life.

He told me that my parents were doing fine today, operating that store.

It's been years, but they still doing it.

[I am in Nara]

[Really? ….]

When I texted Gen, he still seemed skeptical.

I wanted to ask him to tell my parents about me, but he refused to do so.

Well, talking about dead people being alive.

It's natural that they can' t be believed without proof.

After all, the only way is to talk about it in person.　

I haven't even told Gen that I'm the ambassador of Maldea yet.

He will think it's too ridiculous and he won't believe me anymore.

What would I do if I met my mother and father?

They might not believe me.

It would be good just to see them alive.

If I could see their healthy faces, I would be fine with just that.

As I walked through the residential area lined with Japanese houses, many memories came back to me.

Playing tag around the neighborhood.

Scolded for being naughty.

Mother, father, Gen… This town, where I grew up surrounded by everyone. Indeed, it had resurfaced in me.

Then I arrived in front of a store.

An old-fashioned Japanese sweets shop.

This is my parents' house.

A middle-aged man of about forty standing near the entrance.

He looked very old, like an uncle.

But I recognized him immediately.

He' s Gen.

Apparently, he received my call and came to check on me.

He was scurrying around in front of the store, looking around.

He must be waiting for someone who looks like me to come.

I decided to approach him and talk to him.

"Um, .... You are Gen, right?"

The man then turned to me and opened his eyes wide.

"N-no way, you're not the one who contacted me…. Right?"

Well, I guess he didn't expect a girl with pink hair to come.

Gen was insanely surprised.

"Yeah. I'm sorry for causing so much trouble. I've become like this. Long time no see, Gen."

I chuckled as I looked up at the old him.

Then he put his hand on his head and said with a bitter look on his face.

"…. I still can't believe it. I mean, it's even more confusing. I thought the grown-up Yuji was going to come, but why is Lina Marderita coming? ..."

Gen crouches down, perhaps because he has a headache.

Well, that's right.

I mean, I' ve been reborn as an alien.

It's a complicated story to explain.

"Well, it's a long story. But you've really turned into an old man, Gen."

My best friend, who used to be a student, is now like an uncle in the office, and I can't help but laugh.

"Naturally. The last time I saw you was in 1995. How long do you think it's been? It's been years since we last saw each other."

"I see. Yeah, Gen has become a great guy, hasn't he? Oh, and what happened to the Rockmen X you borrowed?"

"I'm sure it's still in the closet at my parents' house. Do you really want it back?"

"Haha, that's okay. So, are Mom and Dad around?"

As I get down to the main subject, Gen turns his attention to the entrance of the store.

"…., yeah. They' re inside, running the store as usual, though. Just so you know, I didn't explain anything to Auntie. There's no way I'm going to tell your parents that a dead person has come back to life without proof."

"Yeah, I know. I'll tell Mom myself."

From here on out, it's just me and my parents. I shouldn't rely on Gen.

After I finished talking with my best friend, I stood in front of my parents' house.

Then, I opened the door of the store with determination.

"Oh, welcome."

Inside, there is a woman who looks in her sixties.

With wrinkles on her face, she looks much older than when I was around.

The way she speaks to the customers has not changed.

Just the sound of her voice filled me with nostalgia.

I looked around the store, trying to hold back the urge to cry.

Fortunately, it seemed that no other customers had come.

Inside the store, nothing had changed, not even the old shelves and the pillars I had damaged.

It's my, my house. …

After twenty-six years, I'm back.

And then my mother, standing behind the counter, seems noticed me.

"Hmm? You have such beautiful pink hair. You look like the alien Lina-chan."

What should I say to her? I am not sure.

If I suddenly told her that I was her son, she wouldn't believe me.

First, I need to introduce myself as the present me.
