「Since I don’t sleep well with you, I’ll sleep by myself. It’s annoying.」 (Velt)

「Ooooh, mama～ Velt’s becoming an adult now～」 (Man → Bonapa)

「But, calling mama and papa annoying, punishment punches! Bad! Bad! Bad!」 (Mother → Aruna)

Velt Jeeha, 10 years old. that’s my current identity. I inherited my mother’s red hair, but since I had a rebellious and cheeky look in my eyes, I wasn’t cute. However, on the contrary my parents disregarded that about me and dotingly fawned on me. Even till now I resisted, but that feeling was growing stronger. When I was Asakura Ryuuma, my parents had basically disinherited me, so I didn’t know anything like familial love. Because of that, I was somewhat uncomfortable.

「Listen up～ Velt. In yesterday’s class at school, I heard you did something during the levitation practice test.」 (Bonapa)

「Oh, I haven’t heard of this?」 (Aruna)

「I was working in the fields, when the teacher came over crying. The subject was using levitation to move a jar from one side to another, and it seems you violently threw it!」 (Bonapa)

Aah, something like that did happen didn’t it. That’s because I can’t use anything like magic.

「Wow! If you couldn’t do it you’d run, but you found a way to do it on your own, how great!」 (Aruna)

「You think so too right mama? What an exciting way to do it, papa is happy!」 (Bonapa)

This area was surrounded by wheat fields as it was an agricultural zone. There were no such things as electricity, cars, or convenience stores. The main mode of transport was a horse. The neighborhood was separated into intervals and each household had several buildings.

However, it couldn’t be considered the countryside. You would be able to reach Elfashia Kingdom’s royal capital in about 30 minutes. I constantly go back and forth, as 『Elfashia’s Magic School for Children』 is in the city.

The capital city has several million people. The basic necessities of life were satisfied, the technological and magical cultures were developing, and there was little crime. It was a peaceful kingdom. However, even then, this world was vastly different compared to Asakura Ryuuma’s world

「A fantasy world, is it. It’s no wonder I haven’t adjusted to this world.」 (Velt)

I died, then was reborn in this medieval-like fantasy world with a new life. I don’t know if it’s right or wrong, but this is the best answer I could come up with.

「You haven’t gotten used to it? What’s wrong, Velt? Don’t tell me you’re being bullied at school! Unforgivable! Which noble’s kid is it? Papa will beat them up!」 (Bonapa)

「Eeeh? Velt～ If it’s painful you can tell mama anytime you know? Even though I can’t use magic, mama will protect Velt. With my mama-punch, take this, and that!」 (Aruna)

At any rate, I’m always thinking, are these people okay with this? When I was Asakura Ryuuma, my parents were annoying, but isn’t this unpleasant? I’ve been rather spoiled, and I haven’t taken advantage of my parents. That is, with Asakura Ryuuma’s end, my blood-related parents don't think of me as a stranger.

No, not just my parents, everyone that I’ve met in this world say the same thing. Nobody knows my true self. In this world, nothing was normal for me, and because of that, I feel uncomfortable.

「But, Velt, if you’re actually being bullied, tell us, okay?」 (Bonpa)

「I won’t. Instead, let me cry. Or rather, Your son to this day can’t even use basic magic,

For what reason was I given a second life in this world?
For what reason did I have to remember my life as Asakura Ryuuma?
