Nate Franklin.
Dad and Mom admitted it, that's my name.
I think everyone in this world is stupid.
That's what I thought when I was a kid. I don't think it's anybody's fault, I think it's just a fool compared to me being a genius. Naturally, no one else can do what I can, just move my hand and nobody else can. It was just strange when I was a child that I couldn't do it even though I was an adult because my father and mother couldn't do it.
I couldn't believe that everyone couldn't do something so fun and easy. Mom was always angry at me for not playing outside, but Dad was happy to say, "I'm a genius," "Amazing," "I'm not able to do it," and "Please make me something else."
My dad is stupider than I am, but he was a genius when it comes to being kind and looking good. Even Mom was noisy, but she complimented me on everything I made and decorated the room. Dad said that both the idea and the dexterity of the hands are similar to those of Mom. My mother always laughed at my bad mouth.
He was very pleased when I woke up to the special abilities of the invention, and he praised me.... Meanwhile, from that day on, my [invention], which was not a craft, became sneakily hidden in the back of the room without being decorated.
The reason I found out was because my mother told me that I should never show my invention to my uncle.
"If you're in trouble, I'll lend it to you." Don't tell me it smells like water, Mr. Franklin. "
My uncle was my mother's brother.
Since I was a child, my uncle hated my mother for being rough and lazy, but I still liked her. Every time I came to the house once a month, he praised me for saying, "You've grown taller again." "You're handsome like Dad." He said that Dad must be Mom's brother, and suddenly came to the house, had a drink and dinner, and even if I went home, I didn't have a disgusting face.
Originally, even your father managed to make a living. But one day, a friend of Dad's at work came to the house and cried, apparently having trouble with the money.
Even though I was an adult, I cried in front of the front door and told my dad, "Please lend me your towel," and "I will return it in a month."
Dad lent the money and the next day the man disappeared.
I apologized so many times when I borrowed it, but I still haven't returned it after five years. My life is getting tough, and my mother is going to work... and my uncle shows up. I was always looking after him, and he gave me a lot of money, and...
It was called "Interest", and soon Dad and Mom began to work desperately.
I don't know about the kid, but it seems he's got a lot more debt than he got in the first place.
From that day on, uncle came to the house many times a month, day and night, and he shouted, "Do you still have the money?" "Just pay the interest." While I was in debt, I said that this house was half my own, and I made up the keys and went in and out on my own.
Mom said it was framed, but I don't know why it happened.
However, I don't know whether Dad and Mom are working desperately to repay the debt, or whether it is for uncle's play money, so no matter how much they worked, the debt didn't decrease.
I wanted to work, too, but because I was a kid and I was short, I was paid at the door everywhere, and there was nothing I could do except work and invention. I could only protect my father and mother from being away while they opened the house.... that's when it happened.
My uncle saw me.
"Amazing, Nate! You're a genius!" There are very few people who can make things like this! "
My uncle came to my house many times for a debt reminder, but I kept the invention hidden every time, but one day I accidentally forgot to clean it up.
When I thought you were going to yell at me, my uncle was so happy and complimented me, and I was happy. My father and mother have been busy at work and have been praised for a long time.
I was told that there were no other inventions, and I had an appointment with my mother, so I laid my neck. Then my uncle brought me a secret deal.
He said that if I invented it, it would reduce my debt by that amount.
The more you invent, the less your father will owe you.
I don't know how much it will cost if I don't sell it once. But I think it will add interest.
This story is a secret for me and my uncle, and the forehead is a secret for my father and my mother. Because Mom hates herself and she absolutely disagrees with me.
I nodded when they told me to please my dad and Mom together.
I didn't want to tell my uncle that I had found out about the special ability of invention because I had an appointment with my father and mother. I felt bad about breaking my promise, but I thought it would be good if my invention freed my dads a little faster.
That day, uncle took home my invention, which he had just made in a good mood... and then.
Your uncle's attitude has changed.
Until now, my uncle, who was urging me to pay off my debts like he was hitting on my dad and my mom, became gentle.
"You can always give it back." "Just pay me the interest." I stopped yelling. She told her uncle that she was creepy and she didn't stop working, but she was relieved that her father and mother weren't yelling at her anymore.
Instead, even if you hit me harder.
At first, I came more often when my father and mother were away.
What kind of invention is it today? What did you do? I said I would sell it again, and I gave the invention to my uncle as I was told.
... and gradually it scared me.
The more I gave it to my uncle, who was in a good mood, the more his eyes gradually changed color. Make it quicker, make it new, think about the value, make it ten the same, make it more functional, use it more often, make it bigger, make it exactly what I said it would be.
I'm a genius, but my special abilities aren't all-powerful.
There is a minimum amount of time required to make one, and the effects and number of Special Abilities are limited. If it is not the size that fits in my hand, it will take many times more time and trouble. Even with special abilities, inventing doesn't always work the way you want it to.
I explained it to my uncle many times every time I understood it, but I was repeatedly yelled at and beaten. My uncle was a fool after all.
When I was hit in the arm or hand, it was much slower to complete the invention.
When I was beaten in the face, I had a hard time making excuses to my father and mother.
My uncle knew that it was troublesome, and he was beaten and kicked all over his legs and invisible parts.
Just once, I ran into the guardhouse, scared of pain, and I couldn't stand it.
My uncle beat me, he killed me, he said he'd help me, but it's not a crime, it's a "house problem".
My uncle was a better liar than I was. I laughed and said, "He's been lying lately." "My sister and her husband must be busy and lonely." "I'm lending small money, so I hate him." I could only believe it.
After all, adults only believe what adults say. The law doesn't help me from my uncle. Both the guards walking in their mighty uniforms and the adults who knew the law were fools.
In the end, I was beaten until my uncle brought me back and I couldn't move. My dad and my mom came home and couldn't get out of bed, so I kept going to bed.
No matter how many inventions you make, your father's debt will never end. I asked my uncle how much he owed me for my invention, but he didn't tell me to just shut up and hit me.
If I don't make it, my dad and mom will yell at me again.
If I don't make it, they'll hit me again.
If I don't make it, I won't be able to reduce my debt.
After all, if the invention is less than planned, it will be beaten, so I began to estimate less as if I didn't know.
Normally I wouldn't be late, but if my uncle beats me, I won't be able to move for a while.
The number of people beaten late was reduced, but they beat me because I couldn't make what my uncle told me to. Even though he said that his special abilities were limited, his stupid uncle didn't understand, and he was gradually scared to protect his absence. When I was at home, my uncle came and yelled at me, wondering if I could still do it, and if I answered by mistake, I was beaten, so I finally dreamed about it.
I was afraid to stay home alone, so I went outside.
Every time my dad went on a trip a long time ago, I was told to throw away the backpack because it was old and I couldn't even go on a trip for a while. I packed everything I needed because I had everything in it. Anywhere but home was fine, but... I was spotted and beaten three times along the way.
I didn't want to run away, I just wanted to go out for a distraction, and I told my uncle many times that he wouldn't let me.
"What if someone sees the invention?" "Don't tell anyone about the ability." "If you show me the invention, I won't be able to do it."
I was not allowed to leave the house to make it, and I could not stop the invention to my uncle, and instead of finding an amulet, I made various items for "escape".
When your uncle comes to the house, let's sneak away and let's say he was away.
If your uncle kills you, let's use this to escape.
If I get injured again and my dad and I are about to find out, I will use this. There was no place to escape while inventing, so I made a desperate way to escape. It made me feel better even if I couldn't get out.... the only thing I could use in the end was [Band-Aid] to hide my injuries.
No matter how many times my uncle can escape, I only have a place to go. [M] You don't just run away, you get beaten up if you don't get your invention in time.
I don't want to abandon Mom and Dad, and I don't want my uncle to know I'm selling my invention.
When I noticed the inside of my favorite house, I thought it was like a jailhouse. It was only safe when my father was around, and I had no choice but to be frightened whenever I wasn't there.
If I hadn't invented it, I wouldn't be comfortable and I'd be cornered by it... but this was my favorite thing.
That was when it became commonplace. Dad and Mom made a suggestion to me.
"Why don't you go to school?"
... except for the students... I'll never let you in... there.
