"... That's it, from today on, he is your brother, and his name is Lei."
My father took his hand and pushed a thin boy who looked like he would be blown away in front of me.
"As an older brother, you have to take good care of him."
"What do you mean 'that's it'?"
I opened my mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time.
Silence... Silence... The veins on his forehead kept popping, finally reaching the breaking point.
"Damn old man! Is this why you asked me to come to Earth all the way? It's been almost 15 years since your wife and my mother came back to Earth. Where did you hook up with a woman who could raise such a big son?!"
Amidst my roar, the boy looked at me with frightened eyes like a deer, and hid behind his father. He must have been frightened by my appearance.
"Where in the world is there no fragrant grass? I am very busy and have no time to talk nonsense with you, so I will leave it to you."
The father who put aside these words forcibly pushed the boy to my side and disappeared like the wind, leaving only the boy and I looking at each other in the waiting room of the spaceport.
