Debt collector and weeds fried with eggs

Even as an adult, I still don’t like the noise of home appliances.

You may be wondering, “What do you mean, I don’t like the sound of home appliances?” But I just don’t like it. I’m just scared. …It reminds me of the old days, that phone call I got when I was in the first year of junior high school and just started living alone.

Sizzling!

Around 7:30 p.m., the phone at home rang loudly. When I was in the first year of junior high school and started living alone, my household appliances rang many times every day. Most of the calls were the same. They were from debt collectors.

The debt belongs to my father. So when I answer the phone, the debt collector asks if my father is there. However, my father left this house a long time ago, so he only comes home occasionally.

Naturally, you have no choice but to say “No.” But if you keep saying “No,” the debt collector will think you’re lying and get mad.

“It’s not like he’s here every day!!”

At the same time as the shouting, there was a bang and the sound of window glass breaking. Hey, are you calling from the backyard of your house? If that’s the case, you know I’m not here every day…!

“That can’t be true! My dad’s not home at all!”

It’s possible, because my dad is an incredible guy.

Well, no matter how much they threatened me, they weren’t really there, so I had no choice but to say “They’re not here.” And then they got mad again. It was a repeat of that. I hated it so much.

One night, I was in deep trouble. I was in deep trouble. I was in deep trouble.

This month, my father’s sister, that is, myI had almost used up the allowance I received from my aunt, “Kacchan.” The reason was that I bought too many manga. I had totally messed up. There were four more days until the next allowance.

I absolutely don’t want to borrow it from Kacchan.

If I told Kacchan that I was out of money, he would definitely question me about how that happened, and if I said that I had bought too many manga, he would definitely scold me like a raging fire, and more than anything, I didn’t want to make him worry. It wasn’t because I was kind to Kacchan or anything. It was just because I couldn’t help but think that it was uncool to be worried about him.

I definitely want to avoid looking bad. So I definitely don’t want to talk to Kacchan about money. But I have to eat for about four more days somehow…or rather, right now, I’m so hungry, it’s dangerous. What should I have for dinner tonight? I have rice, but it’s tough to live on rice alone for the next four days.

What should you do in a situation like this? There is a way!

I had already learned how to get food when I had no money when I was in elementary school. There was a time when I had to live on almost only ginger for a month (please watch the main story to find out why I ended up doing something so stupid). At that time, it was really hard to survive on ginger alone, so I researched edible wildflowers and managed to survive by picking them.

We’ll have to do it that way this time too.
