Dad Rides a Motorcycle in Another World~ Let’s Visit My Reincarnated Wife With My Daughter~

The sizzling sound of fried eggs, the scent of miso soup, and the fluffy aroma of freshly cooked rice.

It was 6:30 in the morning. In one room of a 3LDK condominium, lived a middle-aged man and a high school girl.

The father was cooking food. He was completely unfamiliar with housework …

The fried egg was misshapen, the miso soup was instant, and the freshly cooked rice might have had too much water, making it slightly soggy.

Housework was solely the father’s responsibility. His daughter, a beautiful high school girl, would not even touch the laundry. However, her father never complained and did her housework.

“Alright … Hey Anna, breakfast is ready.”

“… Ughn–“

Anna Takeuchi, the resident of this condominium, emerged from her room while combing through her slightly wavy, jet-black hair.

She was holding a smartphone in her hand. She attended an all-girl school four stations away by train from the condominium. Her father, Takeshi Takeuchi, did not try to scold such a daughter, simply sitting on a worn-out chair.

“Thanks for the food.”

“Hmm…”

Anna started eating breakfast while playing with her smartphone.

Instant miso soup, misshapen fried eggs, and store-bought salads were familiar things to the Takeuchi family.

Anna quickly left after breakfast. Leaving the tableware on the table as they were.

“… Ah, the laundry.”

He hadn’t yet done the laundry. However, it was almost time for him to go to work.

“Well, I’m off tomorrow, anyway…”

He put the dishes in the sink and grabbed his work bag.

Then, leaving for the same station Anna was heading to… He turned his gaze to the Buddhist altar in the far corner of the room.

“… I’ll be back, Miyuki.”

Takeshi’s late wife, Miyuki.

It had been ten years since his wife’s death… Yet, he was still unable to move on.

Takeshi rode his bicycle to the station, then took the train to his office.

He worked as an ordinary office worker. The salary was moderately good, but everyday was repetitive. Moreover, at the age of 38, he did not like to work.

However, he would like to save for Anna’s college expenses as well as for the future. He had a hobby, but … he stopped after his wife’s death.

“Hmm? … Strange.”

He arrived at the station, but it was very crowded.

Looking at the digital bulletin board, it appeared that there had been a derailment accident. It was likely that there would be a delay of 30 minutes or more.

“Now I’m done for.”

Even as he waited at the entrance of the station, there was no sign that the train would move.

He slid his hand into his pocket, thinking about contacting the company…

“… Aah, I forgot my phone.”

He remembered leaving his phone at the front door.

Now then, just when he was wondering if he should go home……

“Hmm? Is that Anna… Oh, it’s really her.”

""

Anna, his daughter, was leaning against the wall at the station entrance while playing with her phone alone.

He could borrow his daughter’s phone and contact the company. Thinking so, Takeshi went to his daughter.

“Hey Anna, heeeyyy.”

“Hmm? Huh… what?”

Anna’s mouth fluttered. She seemed to be chewing gum.

Takeshi said apologetically.

“I’m sorry, I think I left my phone at the front door… I want to contact my company, can you lend me your phone?”

“… Well, okay okay. Here.”

“Ah, thank yo—” 

The next moment, an out-of-control taxi crushed Takeshi and Anna against the wall.

—I’m sorry. 

Suddenly, he heard a voice.

It’s all my fault.

A man’s voice.

Takeshi didn’t understand what had happened.

When he opened his eyes, he was in a black space.

“Uh… huh, what?”

“Ugh…”

“A… A, Anna?! Hang in there, Anna!”

“Ugh… H-huh, dad?”

“Anna… Thank God.”

“… This, where is this?”

Takeshi couldn’t answer that question.

Inside the black space, there was only the father and daughter duo, and their luggage had disappeared.

“What is this, what is this?! What happened? Answer me!”

“C-calm down, Anna!”

As he put his hand on her shoulder to calm her down, he heard a voice.

“I am really sorry…”

“Huh…”

“W-who…?”

“I am Lucid, the god of life and death. The one who controls the cycle of life in your world.”

What appeared was the only white being in that black world.

He had white skin, white hair, long ears, and crimson eyes, giving him the appearance of an albino. He was dressed in something resembling a traditional national garb.

“U-uncle… Who are you?”

“Call me Lucid, Anna.”

“Eh, my, my name …”

“I play a part in the circulation of the souls in your world. It is natural to know the names of all souls.”

Lucid smiled, a friendly smile, but he didn’t look human at all. Takeshi was wary and stood in front of Anna.

“Takeshi … I can’t apologize enough to you.”

“… Where is this? What happened to Anna and I?”

“… It’s all my fault.”

“What…”

Then, the jet-black ground shone brightly.

There appeared familiar buildings, people, and …

“Wha—”

Takeshi and Anna were astonished.

The once-familiar station had become hell.

Two people, a man and a woman, were killed in a runaway accident by an elderly taxi driver. The elderly taxi driver attempted to flee but was apprehended while screaming. The two people who appeared to have died on the scene were taken away by ambulance.

The two people were—

“Don’t look, Anna—!”

“Aahhh——”

It was not something they were unfamiliar with.

Without a doubt, the two people were Takeshi and Anna.

Takeshi hugged Anna and glared at Lucid, who looked down with a sorrow-filled expression.

“Y-you…. What do you mean by showing us this?”

“You two have died … Your souls, however, cannot be returned to the cycle of life because you have deviated from destiny. This is my mistake… My second mistake. “

“What are you talking about…”

“Accept it. Takeshi, Anna … you two are already dead. “

Takeshi held his head while Anna was stunned.

“Your death was unplanned.”

Takeshi and Anna, who were both stunned, raised their heads when Lucid said that.

“Unplanned? What do you mean?”

“It means exactly as I said. To begin with, you weren’t supposed to die at this time. However, the flow of causality in the past has impacted you here.”

“What does that mean?”

“… I’m really sorry.”

Lucid lowered his head again.

And then.

“Miyuki Takeuchi… Her death has messed up your fate, causing you two to die when you shouldn’t have.”

Takeshi unconsciously reached for Lucid, but he slipped away.

It was like a stereoscopic image. Immediately after that thought, Takeshi reached for him again.

“Please listen, I have something important to tell you..”

“Miyuki… Miyuki’s death, what did you say?!”

“Please calm down and I will explain it.”

“Hey, cut it out, you two!”

“Anna…”

Anna grabbed Takeshi’s arm to stop him.

Lucid nodded and began to explain.

“Miyuki Takeuchi, she was originally supposed to die of old age… But due to a mistake I made, she died.”

“!!!” 

“Stop it!”

“So I gave Miyuki a second life. She has been reborn in a world under my control.”

“Huh … Mi, Miyuki did?”

“Yes. It’s a world I’m in charge of. It’s under my control… Although I can’t interfere with it directly, even if I want to.”

“And then?”

“I want to send you there. I can grant you special abilities if you so desire. Anything is at your disposal.”

“Eh, really? That’s the so-called cheat ability, isn’t it?!”

“That’s right.”

The ground then brightened again, and the view resembled an aerial map.

“It is roughly the same size as Earth, and its level of civilization is comparable to Earth’s medieval period. It’s a world of monsters, dungeons, magic, and swords, however you put it.”

“A-amazing… Unbelievable, then, do they also have some kind of adventurer?”

“Yes, they do.”

“Great! Well then, make me a really strong mage!”

“I understand.”

“…”

Takeshi glares at Lucid.

“Miyuki … Is she really in this world?”

“Yes, although, I don’t know where she is.”

“… Can I meet her?”

“She inherited the memory of her previous life. At her own request, even if she reaches adulthood, she will still have the appearance of “Takeuchi Miyuki”.”

“…”

“What will you do? You … What is your request?”

Takeshi remembered his late wife’s face.

Takeshi used to be a member of a biker gang.

Miyuki was his childhood friend and had said once that she wanted to ride Takeshi’s motorcycle … However, at that time, Takeshi had said, “I don’t take a woman on my bike,” and didn’t let her.

They got married, had a child, and were in their late twenties… In the end, he was too embarrassed to take Miyuki for a ride.

And then, Miyuki died in an accident.

He had never even once give her a ride on his bike.

—Just once, I want to ride a tandem seat on a seaside tour.

“… I want to ride a motorcycle.”

“What?”

“Motorcycle… Let’s see, let’s see.”

Lucid turned his palm toward Takeshi and nodded.

“I understand. All right… I’ve got the image of the bike in your mind. I’ll give you exactly what you want.”

“… I see.” 

“Eh, wha— Motorcycle?”

“Then, enjoy your second life in the other world… Farewell.”

“What, motorcycle… Eh?!”

The black world was dyed pure white. 

Takeshi and Anna’s life in another world began.

He knew nothing about death, fate, or anything else. However, one goal was born in Takeshi’s mind.

Once again, my wife … I want to see Miyuki.
