Volume 5, Chapter 3: I became a kindergartener, Part 1

Because of the strange incident that had happened at the park where I was, my prohibition on going out was extended another two weeks. Incidentally, there havent been rumors about me either. Even if there were witnesses, nobody would believe such a thing had happened.

It seems that the apparent reason why the prohibition got extended was because I had gotten a shock from the scene of the accident.

Well, to be honest, Ive been crestfallen for a while.

After all how was I able to do such a thing?

I dont understand myself. For I that, until now, couldnt even bend a spoon, I didnt know at all that I could do such a thing.

Still, in that instant where I felt anger against that [Existence]that had frightened Kotone-chan, I dont know why, but I suddenly felt like I could do it.

well, theres no point in worrying about what I dont understand. It seems that I chafe at difficulty.

Anyways, beyond all of that, Im going back to kindergarten starting today.

is it alright for me?

You grew so well, Yuzu, youre so cute.

The kindergarten uniform made me look about three times cuter than I thought.

It looks amazingly expensive.

As for why the uniform is such, it seems that its because of Kotone-chan and onii-chan, who are in Takamine Academy, which is affiliated to the kindergarten.

how much does it cost for these clothes that will only be worn for a couple of years??

Well, the tuition fees are high, but children from ordinary families are also enrolled. It might be that an ordinary family would get the uniforms through net auctions or maybe they wear hand-me-downs.

So I think my family is somewhere in the upper-middle class?

For the time being, Im quietly attending kindergarten. There are also children of families who have relationships with Fathers company, so although Im not normal Im not going to feign friendliness.

My appearance reminds me of one of those high-class daughters if I was older.

However, theres still some problems.

I feel like my appearance changed subtly since I woke up.

Although my aged, droopy-eyed expression hasnt changed, it feels like a subtle distortion has disappeared.

Even when I wake up in the morning, my eyelids arent puffy. My face is also less puffy.

I had good skin since I was a child, but it was now strangely glossy, and my sunburns faded back into my original skin color, but the skin looked whiter even while my complexion got better.

And it seems improbable, but I think my features are now perfectly symmetrical

It feels like an elaborate [Human-shaped Bisque doll] rather than a human I do.

Haa~

Whats wrong, Yuzu, youre seriously cute today.

Ooba Onii-chan hugged me and took me to the car.

Kotone-chan also wanted to hold me, but because of the size difference it seems that my uniform would crease if she did and become disorderly. For some reason the words hugging personnel came to mind.

Even then, my hair was tied by Kotone-chan. The hair that reached my collars was tied into a small pair of twintails with red ribbons.

Uwaa Its cute if I looked at it objectively, but at the same time its embarrassing.

A real twin tail, is this a certain consumer-electronics street (read: Akihabara), or am I in some Catholic school thats being watched over by a goddess?

Its because I think about these things that Imtold my memory has become hazy.

The car came to pick us up and send me to kindergarten, which started early, then to the middle and high school sections which were next door.

I cant even recall the faces of my kindergarten classmates, and I worried if this was okay, but it seems that that matter had been made known well in advance.

Besides, if I saw their face, I might remember. So said the goddess-sama hmm, for some reason it feels like I dont have the protection of the gods.

Yuzu, if you get into trouble you can ask the teacher to call for me, okay?

No, its better to call for me, if any boy decides to bully you, onii-chan will take care of them, okay.

Im going.

I got out of the car in front of the kindergarten, and was accompanied by the teacher who came to pick me up as I entered the compound. Sorry, teacher, but I dont remember.

In short, because Yuzu has just recovered from an illness, please treat her kindly, everyone.

Yes~

What do I do? The teacher seems to have omitted the fact that I dont remember things. It cant be helped. I just dont understand the difficulties of a kindergartener.

I was surrounded with some distance. I managed to remember some faces somewhat, but it just doesnt come to me. A barrier was put up separating us automatically.

It might be because of the change in my appearance The Yuzu that they knew seemed somewhat different, and they might be scared of me who seemed to resemble a doll.

Im in trouble now. I was remarkably carefree about my change.

Yuzu-chan are you alright?

There was a tough guy speaking to me.

I was a little bit surprised and turned to look, there was this tiny little cutey looking at me with a worried expression.

Ah, erm

For some reason I felt like I played with this boy. But his name eluded me.

That boy game me a harmless smile.

Yeah, its alright, I heard from my father. My name is Handsome, remember?

Han oh, I remember.

In an instant, my whole back was covered in a cold sweat, and I felt like my consciousness was about to fly off.

Come to think of it, I remember hearing from Father yesterday that there was a boy with such a name. I thought at that time that he was joking with me

When I hear it from the person himself, the destructive power of it is outrageous. What were this childs parents thinking when they gave him this name? Recently, I heard that such fancy and sparkling names were popular, but for them to evolve this far Were they unable to cancel the evolution?

Oh crap, my face is making various expressions.

But if I scrunch my nose in I lose. Hes the scion of a famous meat processing companys president and a major client of fathers company.

The capital of his company and the number of employees were at national levels, with completely different orders of magnitude.

Im so glad I, had been worried.

Sorry

He had a pleasant plump smile on his face. Apparently, he has no doubts whatsoever about his own name the industrys power is indeed deep.

While I spoke with him, memories of him gradually came to light. He was quite the carefree character, but because of his body shape, he was getting teased by the stronger boys in the class.

He was also biased towards our friendship, and played mostly only with children whose houses were like mine.

Its more than I deserve As the scion of a large enterprise, with a good personality and looks he was cute like a stuffed toy, but had few friends whom he approved of.

Was he easy to remember because hed had a big impact on me?

Yuzu-chan, shall we play over there?

Yes but, are you alright with me?

When youre with me, arent you scaring off the other children? I thought so, but he blushed a little and shook his head.

Its because Yuzu-chan is gentle that I get teased. erm, but *youre cute*

nn?

Oh, thats right! Would you like some snacks?

Even though itd only been one hour since kindergarten began, hes already taken out a majestic snack for me.

So I thought while receiving a round ham.

Please let me stay thin.
