What if I was Reborn into another World

Kuro had to say… they had eccentric taste of house. But the arrangements and everything else was amazingly done, he dare say it would even bring envy toward the noble and royal around the nation. There are things he had never seen before but had read in his ancestor books. It must come from their past world.

I bet grandpa Oki would love this place, he thought.

Miya came and drag him after finishing his bath.

"Since you'll be staying in the same room with mom and will be our permanent father, I was thinking you might like some of your heritage imprint in this house… so…" Miya open a door to one of the room. It had a sliding door, a shoji to be exact. There's a tatami, and kotatsu in the middle of the room. With throw pillows around it. There are also some of tea ceremony equipment stowed right inside a glass cabinet. He could see the chakin, tea bowl, tea whisk, tea caddy and scoop, and the containers. All complete set of it and he could see hanging scroll, a kakejiku on the wall, that were written in kanji 'Wa-kei-sei-jaki' that would means harmony, respect, purity and tranquility. Under it a chabana flower arrangement that complement the view of it. It bring nostalgic feeling as these things were what he had envision what their ancestor had missed in their former world. They had tried to copy it as much as their can but to no avail, it never compare to the real one and he knows this was as real as it can get. A home that incorporate his bloodline heritage, boldly imprinted part of their home. These kind of things was impossible to come by, even their riches couldn't provide it to them.

Miya was humming happily and wait for Her father to explore the whole place. He thread lightly on the tatami and basked in the feel of his feet touching it. He slid the door open and was greeted with amazing view of a small pond with a lone white lotus flower, and koi fishes. He knew koi doesn't exist in this world, so where in the world did they get these? There were black and white stones strewn perfectly around the pond, giving out a zen atmosphere.

"Do you like it, dad?"

"I love it" he said in a cracked whisper. And I'm sure all the elders would love it too.

"That's good. It was mom idea. By the way.." Miya went near him and beacon him to crouch low and whispered to him.

"Mom had peach and plum blossom tree outside her room. She is a fan of japanese country before that she even made a small Tori behind the backyard to her own garden. We're planning to make a hot spring beside it, so look forward to it"

"Oh? That would be amazing, Miya"

"I know right? I can't wait. But you must remember your promise,dad. About the tree house"

He laughed and lift Miya up. She squealed happily.

"How can I forget? Its for my two beautiful little angels."

"Heheheh" Miya wrapped her hands around his neck and give him a slight peck on his mask.

Then she point outside of the door, where Ailee is peeking shyly. He beacon her to come and lift her up too.

They spin around couple of times and the kids laughs.

"If my grandfather saw these place, I bet he would kiss the tatami and camp under the kotatsu" laughs him.

"Oh? We have great-great grandpa?" He nodded.

"He is a strict man but weak toward kids. But don't tell him that because he will never admit it"

"Oh dad! I hope we can see your family in the future" said Miya.

"Our family. It your family too."

"We love you, dad" they both hug him and that moves his heart to swell with love for these kids. They were so easy to love and care. So easy to accept, their personality makes you ponder how they were raised to be so adorably cute and smart.

"And I love you guys too"

Then Aileee peeked over her hair bangs and look at him.

"Just.. please tell us before they come here. So we could make preparation."

"Why? Are you really that scared of meeting new people?" Joked him, he tickled Ailee lightly. She wiggled and laughs before smiling brightly.

"No, we need to redesign some of the guest room to fit their taste"

"Oh you guys don't have to do that"

"We must!" Ailee pouted. "First impression is important. We don't want family drama."

"Family, drama? What's that?" He tilted his head in confusion.

"Its when all happy couple gets separated by their family and become sad." Explained Miya. That tickled his funny bone.

That old men try to separate me and my new family? Ha! I am sure right now, they are having a feast knowing that I had my own family now, Thought Him.

Ailee then look at him seriously, as if it was the most important discussion that needed to be said and done.

"Luckily, you had two smarty-pants here and amazing wife. So, no need to worry. Just focus on building that tree house"

'And everythig will be alright?' He chuckled. Back in his place he had to handle everything big except menial one. It's refreshing to have a sudden change of profession.
