New environment

It was finally the day, the day had come by so quick that I haven't even noticed. I am now leaving my house with my assigned caretaker. The caretaker looked at me with his deadpan eyes as he bowed towards me, to which I nodded.

He was wearing something very cliché, basically he was your typical anime butler. His name was Charles and as you expected, he was an old man.

I left the house abruptly while my mother and little brother are still asleep as my father joined me on my way outside.

As much as I want to say goodbye to them, I'll probably end up not leaving if I did so. As we finally reached the car. My father looked at me and said, "Farewell, stay safe my son"

I then replied

"Goodbye Father, make sure to say my goodbye's to Mother and Sei-chan"

He nodded as he showed a rare smile as we shared a brief hug.

I entered the car as Charles opened the car door. He immediately closed it as I saw him bowing to my father.

My father said to Charles

"Make sure to take good care of him"

Charles bowed and said.

"I will"

He then entered and sat on the car as Charles then said to the driver,

"Let's go."

As the car started to move, I took one last glance at my house.

'1 year' in that 1 year, I'll make to maximize that one year, I'll miss them a lot too.

I recalled the various memories I have made here. From playing basketball with Sei-chan, to moments such as my mother being cured. All in all, it may be strict here but; It's full of happy memories. Memories that I will cherish in this life. I gave a smile as I leaned on the car window, remembering everything that had occurred in my current life.

.....

1 hour later.....

We have arrived at the airport. Of course, we were riding first class. Charles checked us in as we got to the lounge. Our luggage was already on our seats on the airplane beforehand which was very convenient. I sat on one of the couches on the lounge as we waited for our flight. I was wearing a black hoodie that was contrast with my white pants along with my white airforce 1's. I looked around in boredom as I pulled out my iPhone and started to scroll around social media.

It was June 2, 2010 right now. Of course throughout the years, I have not been slacking off at all. I now owned every single social media platform that was famous in my past life. These included: Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Though, there was no way I was buying something like MySpace.

This made me extremely rich, and that stop there. I have monopolized google's shares, making me the largest shareholder. Though, I still placed it under my father's name because the media is crazy. Imagine a 12 year old kid who was essentially a billionaire. The thoughts of the media invading my privacy gave me a headache.

Not only that, my family is essentially the richest family in Japan. That made me known because I was the heir. But I wasn't the type to publicize anything about me so information about me was rather scarce. This was unavoidable but that was the best I could do.

Just as I was to beat my high score in Subway Surfers,I was interrupted because Charles called out to me

"Young Master, let's go, our flight is here"

I nodded as I focused on the game. Charles just shook his head as we walked towards the boarding bridge.

I was about to pass my high score but my phone suddenly showed a notification saying

"Low Battery, 20% remaining"

When I closed the notification, I died to a barrier. I wanted to smash my phone badly as I had an angry look on my face.

*Huff*

I took a deep breath as I placed my iPhone in my pocket once again.

I walked to my seat as I placed my bag down and immediately sat down. The seat was highly comfortable, this is the reason why I loved first class flights. There were no inconveniences that you would experience on a regular flight. I mean I can buy a private jet but, I want to at least experience this in my current life.

I looked at the seat as we basically had our own private places as each seat provided a wall feature. In front of me was a table with a T.V, underneath it was a footrest. There were also some cool retractable stuff in here. All in all, this is gonna be a great flight as I sat down relaxedly.

The flight attendants were very polite as when I settled down, they offered me beverages. I nodded as they gave me a mug filled with coffee milk. Not only that, they gave me complementary cookies.

I took a bite of the cookie and noticed just how good they were. For a cookie that was made in an airplane? this was damn good.

It wasn't stale at all, which was surprising. I then took a sip of the coffee milk.

"Mmmmmmm, this is the life." I sat back and turned on the T.V. I went through the selection pages and I had finally found it, I selected it as the Bee Movie started playing on the T.V.

I thoroughly enjoyed it as when it finally ended, it was now time for lunch. A flight attendant came to my seat as she placed the tray on top of my table.

I thanked to which she bowed and left. I opened the lid and was greeted by sushi along with the sauces.

I grabbed the chopsticks as I grabbed a sushi, it looked to be a tuna. I dipped the sushi, fish side towards the soy sauce. I also placed wasabi on it as I ate it. I was immediately greeted by an explosion of flavours.

The fattiness of the tuna and it's freshness complemented each other. Not only that, the saltiness of the soy sauce and the spiciness of the wasabi enhanced the flavours even more. I was immediately addicted as 7 minutes later, I had finished everything.

*Gulp* *Gulp*

I drank my glass of water as the flight attendant cleaned up my table and served me with another tray. I opened it and I was greeted by a plate of mochi. I grabbed one and took a bite. I almost shed a tear because of how good it was. It was a matcha mochi. I felt like I was one with the earth because of it's astonishing earthy flavour, it was sticky and chewy; it had a very nice texture. Overall, it was a very good experience for my mouth.

After that, the flight attendant took my tray and cleaned the table. I was so full as I rubbed my stomach and drifted away to a very nice sleep.

I awoke and checked the time, it was 7P.M; it was now time for dinner. Once again, the flight attendant handed me a tray and placed it on the table. I opened the lid and what was inside were short ribs. I grabbed a fork and just checked if it was tender. I was gobsmacked because it was so tender that I didn't even need a knife to cut it.

I took a bite of the short ribs and I was immediately pleased. 8 minutes later, I had finished the meal and just waited for my flight to end.

....

2 hours later.

I'm finally here, I looked at the window and admired the view. We have finally landed in the U.S

I got my bags and although this was practically my best flight experience ever, I left a bit reluctantly.

Charles was here as we left the airport quickly because it was night, I wanted to sleep already.

Our arranged driver finally arrived as we rode the car in a hurry. I forced myself awake throughout the entire ride.

.....

40 minutes later.

We arrived at the place we were staying at, I asked Charles beforehand what we are going to stay at and he replied

"The penthouse, Young Master."

We took a tour of the penthouse as I dropped my bags and took a look. It was a very luxurious penthouse because the building that we were staying at belonged to my father. The place was well furnished and it even had a basketball court and a pool. After getting toured around the house for a good while, Charles finally introduced me to my room.

I did not fret at the details as I ran forward and jumped towards the bed. Charles shook his head at my antics as he said,

"Have a good rest, Young Master"

Even though I was face first on the bed, I could see that he bowed and closed the door. I finally had my sleep as I was excited for the following days.

"Finally, a new beginning" I was excited but before doing what I needed to do. First was sleeping as I immediately drifted away to sleep.

Didn't sleep and it's like 6:00 am for me rn
