Chapter 8

"Please read it with a pure heart, like that of a Buddha.

You must not think of unnecessary things.

--- The time has come.

Looking up to the sky, there is a divine light as if the goddess of creation is watching over us with great compassion.

On the other hand, looking down from the cliff, there is an abyss waiting.

However, with the divine protection, there is nothing to fear!

We gaze at the utopia visible on the summit of the mist-covered white divine mountain, swallowing hard.

The sacred land where only those chosen by the goddess can reach, fragrant with the scent of eternal spring flowers.

Just a little more, just a little more.

Like a desert traveler seeking an oasis, we slowly extend our hands.

Toward the heavenly spring that is now within reach…

'Here you go♪ Drink up, Taku, and grow big quickly~♪♪'

The sister being held by another person next to me must be feeling like she's in heaven—

--- For me, it is heaven and hell at the same time.

This is real combat. It's not training!

I repeat, this is not training!!

Reaching a state of selflessness where I could wake up from any peak in an instant, I start my first meal of the day.

My current expression must be a perfect archaic smile.

...I boasted the other day that I had gotten used to it.

There's no way I could get used to this, damn it!!

Look at me! I look like a high school student, or even a middle school student if you're not careful!

Well, in one part, I am already a fully grown adult...

For me, who has the mental age of about twenty due to memories from my previous life, the soft skin of the white dress + bald beauty is too cute to think of as my own child, especially when the most sensitive part is exposed so defenselessly, and even more so... chu, chu, and all that.

I feel like I'm growing in a different way, and I'm filled with such a sense of guilt that I want to bang my head against the wall and die. My chest is... full.

--- If I were to bang my head against the wall now, it would probably just bounce back.

Even death is not an option...

I am despairing! I am deeply despairing over my tainted sadness!! It's a sad time!!

The only consolation is that, due to my physical age, there's no worry about growing any more.

Really, this and changing diapers are the only things I can never get used to...

I empathize with the struggles of the pioneers of reincarnation in other worlds that I've seen on the internet. And I hope they understand me.

It's no wonder that in many works, such scenes are often omitted.

"Hmm~? Jas, your face is red again~?"

...Yeah, I bet.

I'm probably so red-hot that if I were thrown into a locomotive's furnace, I could instantly accelerate and even break the sound barrier, flying through the air.

Can I fly?

Yes, I can!

Miss, if you touch me, you'll get burned?

Right now, my head is in a very unfortunate state... No, it has already crossed the line and is in a pitiful state, but I can't handle it with a normal mindset.

The sister, who is enjoying her bliss innocently, is hateful at this moment.

"Hahaha! ...Maybe you're being shy, Sefi?"

The maid in the maid's uniform next to me laughs and speaks.

"Oh, really? ...Ana, is that so?

Jas-chan, are you shy~?"

My mother strokes my head while talking to me.

...To me, her baby talk is even more embarrassing.

"Kyaa~♪ So cute~♪♪"

When I sent a protesting glance with my eyes, I was hugged tightly.

Such an event on a spring day.

A snapshot of an ordinary daily life.
