6 Chapter 5.1 That Time When I First Materialised into the World (2/2)
The sound of a door opening diverts her attention from the nurse, the person that opened the door of the hospital room was the police officer that found her out in the streets holding a basket of fruits in hand.
”You finally woke up, I got worried because you didn't wake up for two days.” He then slowly approached the girl's bed.
'Who's this human?' The silver-haired girl asked herself seeing how worried the man looked.
The man then continued with a question: ”Do you have any relatives?”
'Relatives?'
She then shook her head to answer, the man held one of the girl's hands and then said: ”It that case I'll take you in. I can't let a girl wander the streets, after all.” The man offered.
'Why is this human asking me to be part of his family...' The girl tilts her head in confusion.
”How about it?” The man added.
A moment of silence engulfs the room but then tears started to fall from her eyes because she suddenly remembers how she ended up walking the urban streets of Tokyo completely exhausted.
'Oh, that's right... The village that took me in got attacked by a gang and i was told by the village elder named Hide to run away...' she thought as she remembered the events prior to her ending up in a urban place.
”H-Hey, Is something wrong?” The officer then asked out of concern for her.
She wipes her tears of her cheeks. ”M-My village was attacked by thy gang members...” She stated still sobing.
A surprised expression had showed up on the man's face as he hears what the girl had said. ”There was a news report about a village near Mount Fuji being attacked by a gang but... I didn't expect to find someone that was from the village... Now wonder your clothes were a mess...” He then proceeded to hugging her in-attempt to calm her down.
After a moment the man lets her go while with the though: 'I wanna get her side of what happened at that village but right now probably isn't the right time for it'
The girl now wearing clothes that she doesn't recognize having decided to let the man take her in then said: ”Ye, I'll let thou take me in...” She forced herself to smile in gratitude to the man but she had a hard time doing it since she was crying.
The officer still not knowing her name asked what it was.
The girl answered: ”Yui, That is what thou villager that took me in named me.”

Three months have now passed since the young girl got released from the hospital and let the officer take her in as his daughter...
In a two story house where the girl was still sleeping inside a spare bedroom, gentle knocking was heard on her bedroom door followed by: ”Breakfast is ready, wake up before it gets cold.” by that same police officer named Takahashi Tada.
With a ”mnhh...” sound coming from Yui she got out of her bed rubbing her eyes and walking in a slow pace due to her not being fully awake yet, she makes her way to her bedroom door.
With a ”ka-chak” sound the door opened...
She made it to the first floor of the house where the smell of freshly cooked rice omelets entered her noise as if to call her to the dining room. 'Omurice?' she asked herself having smelled the food in the hallway.
”Oh, good morning, Yui” Tada's wife greeted as she sees Yui make her way to the dining room.
With a ”Umu, Good... Morning, Mom.” she said as a yawn came out as she finished her sentence, just like a silver-haired, red-eyed female vampire from an anime that aired on 2018 in Japan.
She noticed blue doll-like eyes got watery as her yawn ended so she wiped them to get rid of the tears that came out from her yawning.
At the same time Tada's wife Yuuko thought: 'She finally called me mom... finally...' A happy smile showed on her face.
Yui takes a seat parallel to Yuko, with her eyes glued to the TV that was currently on with a rom-com J-Drama showing on it, with a thought 'I love this show... It's nice that they always air it in the morning.' as she slowly got used how her life is now.
”You're tutor will be here any minute now, better hurry and eat your food.” Tada who was putting a pitcher of water back in the fridge announced.
Yui who almost forgot that she has home school today ate her breakfast as fast as she could almost choking in the process.
