“By any chance, Kako-san, are you on the animal keeper committee?”
 
Is she going to take care of animals with those drills…? (Gulp)
 
“Y-Yes, I am going to feed them now, so could you wait a moment?”
 
“In that case, I’ll help you.”
 
She looked apologetic, so I offered to help with the feeding (since waiting would be boring).
 
“…They eat a lot.”
 
When we started feeding them together, the rabbits and chickens began to eat voraciously. As I pulled back slightly at their gluttony, which left them no composure to be afraid of me, Kako-san let out a small … Read the rest

Chapter 4: I Became an Elementary School Student

Time passed as it would, and I became an elementary school student. I moved up properly from Takamine Academy’s affiliated kindergarten and will be attending the Elementary Division starting this year.
 
There weren’t really any special events during that time. Just one kidnapping incident and one traffic accident.
 
No, wait, why? Isn’t that probability way too high?
 
Other than that, since I always strive for impeccable conduct, there have been no problems at all.
 
In the autumn, I had my sixth birthday. Father gave me a plushie from … Read the rest

Summer vacation started and I became bored. Then, due to the incident at the shrine the other day, outings became distant again, making me even more bored. On top of that, my precious playmate, my sister Koto-chan, has been bad at keeping me company lately.
 
Koto-chan is in her second year of middle school. She will be an examinee next year, so I assumed she was studying at the library. But when I thought about it, Takamine Academy is an escalator school (automatic promotion), so unless her grades are terribly bad, she’s fine, meaning entrance exams don’t exist for her.… Read the rest

Chapter 3: Summer Vacation Has Arrived

I wonder when people first came to know of that 《Existence》.
 
It was born into this world during the Edo period, when various cultures blossomed and reached their peak. Then came the Meiji era’s civilization and enlightenment; as Western culture spread, systems and customs changed drastically, and the consciousness of the Japanese people shifted.
 
Originally, it was an existence with no power at all.
 
That changed in the 1950s. As the nation recovered from defeat in the war and the Japanese economy began its rapid development, that 《Existence》 began to gain … Read the rest

In the end, this recess ended with just holding hands and taking a walk. Han… he doesn’t have stamina, but I have even less. We had no choice but to walk around the garden, and I had him teach me the names of flowers.
 
But I wonder why… The teachers were looking at us with strangely warm eyes.
 
The next period was English. The language of the British and Americans! …Eh? Modern kindergartens teach English? And why don’t I remember it even though I have memories of living until fifteen?
 
But well, even if it’s the famous … Read the rest

Episode 2: I Became a Kindergartner
 

 
A lot has happened, but for some reason, I am energetic.
 
However, because it was discovered that I was near that bizarre accident at the park, my grounding was extended by another week for a precautionary hospitalization check-up.
 
Apparently, it was shocking for a toddler to encounter? So, more counseling and such. By the way, there haven’t been any rumors about me. Well, even if there were witnesses, they’d probably doubt their own eyes first.
 
Honestly, I had a lot of things I wanted to think about, so the … Read the rest

“But even in my class, the real Ojou-samas are like this. There are Ojou-samas in Yuzu’s kindergarten too, and she’s cute anyway, so isn’t it fine!”
 
“You’re right! Yuzu is cute so it’s fine!”
 
Is it fine?
 
“…Kofu.”
 
While watching the banter of my two older siblings, a cough escaped me. Maybe the fever hasn’t completely healed, and since I was apparently weak to begin with, it can’t be helped.
 
But, Oba-onii-chan and Koto-chan reacted to my small cough.
 
“Are you okay!? Shall I go harvest some honey!?”
 
Where do you intend to go to harvest honey?
 
“In that case, … Read the rest

Chapter 1: I Became Yuzu

 
[──Memory confusion…? That can’t be… surely not.]
 
[You mean… Yuzu doesn’t remember us!?]
 
[Kotone, your voice is too loud. She’ll hear you. You’ll make her anxious.]
 
[According to the doctor, it’s just a temporary condition caused by her high fever…]
 
[Ah. The current Yuzu remembers some things, but forgets others. She loves reading picture books, and whenever Kotone or Oba watched movies or videos, she always wanted to watch with them, right? It seems the fever caused those memories to mix with her own, and there is a possibility she … Read the rest

Prologue

A fierce storm rages in a world of absolute blackness… a world without even a single ray of light.
 
Curled up like a fetus and asleep within the torrent of power that seems capable of crumbling even a human soul, and the raging storm of nothingness, “I” have a dream.
 
In a magnificent mansion, a beautiful blonde man and woman gaze at me with gentle eyes.
 
Calm servants entertain me with full smiles.
 
Two girls, one blonde and one dark-haired, take my hand and invite me to play.
 
A venerable King and a gentle Queen in a … Read the rest

 
François was utterly shocked. For the royal family of the Dwarf Kingdom, banishment to the Demon Country was the greatest punishment, worse than a death sentence. In the Demon Country, located in the far north of the continent, there were few proper animals, and if one tried to eat the small demons, it could ruin their stomach.
 
Though François was popular among the people for her beauty and charm, she was only four years old.
 
In the Dwarf Kingdom, her beautiful sisters had more support, and politically weak François would surely be banished to the Demon Country.… Read the rest
