Emotionless Emotions of a Cyborg

Finally Back Home

Finally Back Home

Aug 04, 2025

Well, forget the war, forget that I'm a cyborg, forget everything, I'm finally back home. 

I'm back home.

But... 

I don't feel relieved, its because I'm a cyborg, but, I don't feel anything. I don't feel excited, happy, or anything.

Yup.

Like I said before, I'm just an emotionless half-human, half-machine.

“Huh, how much should I pay Yuki? I’m just going to do eight million yen,” I said.

I then heard a familiar voice.

“Hey, big brother.” I looked down and saw my little sister.

She had black hair that went down to her shoulders, and her black hair also had blue highlights. She has brown coloured eyes and is 5’2. She was wearing her school uniform. The school uniform was like any other school uniform you would see around Japan: the skirts went to your knees, a white t-shirt with a red ribbon, and long socks. Her school uniform looked cleaner than usual.

“Did you dye your hair? I thought I told you not to do it. You look like a delinquent, May.”

“Oh shut up! Aren’t you happy to see me after many months of being in the stupid military?” she said, annoyed.

“Yeah.” I sounded way too emotionless, what the heck.

Then I saw her babysitter, whose name was Yuki Nakamura. She was a year older than me, 18 years old. My little sister is 13.

Yuki wore a yellow sweater with a pink shirt underneath, and she also wore black baggy pants. 

Yuki's clevage was exposed a little because her sweater was a little small, or was it because her breasts was big, not that I care. 

She has long pink hair that goes down to her elbow, and she is the same height as me. After I hired her to become my little sister’s babysitter, we quickly became friends. When I went to fight in the war, she acted like a big sister to May, which she thought was weird.

“Long time no see, Rei.”

“Yup. Did May cause you any trouble?”

“Uhhh… kinda, I guess?”

I sighed a little. “I just knew that she’s a spoiled brat…” 

“Hey! I am not a spoiled brat!”

“Whatever,” I said.

“How about we go inside the apartment? It’s too cold outside.” Yuki said.

“Oh yeah, I forgot about your paycheck for looking out for May.” I was about to pull out the eight million yen for her, but she stopped me.

“You don't need to spend your money on me, you know?”

“Why? Don't you need the money?”

“Because I am going to live with you guys. Call me big sis if you want, Rei,” she smiled brightly. I didn’t expect this, so I didn't have to pay her? At least, I could save money because I'm kinda broke.

“No, I am not calling you big sis, I am just calling you by your name.”

“That’s fine, I guess,” she responded with a sigh. “I wanted to see you call me big sis… I thought it might be cute…”

“Weirdo,” I said with a blank face.

“Shut up!” she said with a pout on her face.

“Can we just get back home? I’m tired from school, and Yuki? Can you cook dinner for us? I’m really hungry,” May interrupted. Now she’s actually acting like a spoiled brat.

“Sure, let’s go.”

When we went back to our apartment, it looked very clean. There was even an automatic door that could open and close on its own, something May and I had never had before. There was a better air conditioner, a better couch, a better TV, and everything after I went to the war was better than before I went to the war. 

There was a nice and comfy couch on the side of the apartment facing the big screen TV, the kitchen was behind the couch, and upstairs was the bathroom and bedroom. I went to the kitchen, and the fridge was moved to the right side of the kitchen.

“The fridge was too big and the kitchen was too cramped, so I moved it a little. And the door has a sensor now, so when you come close to the door, the door will automatically open.” Yuki told me.

I figured May wanted the automatic door. 

Spoiled little brat, I thought.

“May asked for everything because she said the apartment was too ‘uncomfortable’.”

“You came from a rich family, right? May has always acted like a spoiled brat, asking for everything.” I said.

“I know that, but I can't help but do what she asks me; she would always do those cute pouts and stuff to make me rethink my decisions,” she said with a sigh, but she didn’t look like she regretted it. “But I still made her less bratty when you were gone; she cleans her room now, a little.”

“Yeah, I guess.”

“But the apartment looks nicer, right?”

“Yeah, it does I guess, much cleaner and cozy, though you need to teach her more; the more manners she has, the less she asks for stuff for you to buy.”

“I already did that, but it only made her a little cleaner.”

“I’m going to go check up on May now. I want to see what the spoiled brat is doing.”

I went upstairs to see May doing her homework in her room. As I opened the door, she turned her head back to look at the door as if she had already known I was there.

“You there, big bro? I’m doing my stupid homework, and I need help here.”

“Maybe later, but for now, it’s time for us to go,” I said, going inside her room.

She instantly knew what I was talking about, and that suddenly switched her mood; she dropped her bratty personality quickly. 

Her mood switched as if her ice cream had fallen down on the ground. 

She put down her pencil, got up from her seat, and walked towards the door. 

“Okay, did you bring the flowers?”

“Yes, let’s go now.”

“Okay.”

We both went downstairs and saw that Yuki was cooking food.

“Where you guys goin’?”

“Somewhere,” I said as I opened the door.

“Alright, stay safe, Rei, May,” she said, understandably.
