In this Second Chance at Life, where I can see skills as clear as day, everything feels like a breeze. And to make it even better, I’m spending my days joyfully with my First Love. - Chapter 25

I want to be more lovey-dovey with Yasushi…!

I loved him so much that I dreamed about it every night, from when I was a sixth grader in my previous life until I died in that accident.

No, as I got involved with Yasushi after his reincarnation, I saw both the familiar Yasushi and the sides of him I had never known before, and I fell even more in love with him.

I became his girlfriend. Of course, I want to be lovey-dovey.

Holding hands and occasionally hugging is enough to make me happy, but I also want to kiss and even go further, if possible.

I’m a first-year middle school student, often told I’m just a child going through puberty, but this body has already experienced its first menstruation, and with memories of my past life, I have a certain level of sexual desire.

Even Yasushi, at his age, wouldn’t find it strange to have sexual desires.

But… but! It’s been a year since we started dating, and nothing happened.

Even during exam studies, thanks to memories of my past life, passing seemed like a piece of cake, so I tried leaning in suddenly, showing a glimpse of my not-so-large chest due to my age, and letting my weight lean on them. I attempted these approaches that are supposed to make the protagonist in a rom-com manga feel nervous multiple times, but there wasn’t much of a reaction.

Even during hugs, at first, they would show a bit of a shy reaction, but lately, I feel like they’ve gotten used to it, and their reaction has become somewhat less pronounced.

No, he definitely doesn’t think anything of it. I have the unique skill “Keen Eyes,” but if it doesn’t look like Yasushi is blushing, then he probably isn’t.

Maybe Yasushi doesn’t feel aroused by first-year middle school girls.

Well, from what I’ve heard, it seems like he lived until he was 26 in his previous life. If that sense is carried over, then not getting excited about a 13-year-old girl can be considered healthy.

Besides, if Yasushi is a lolicon, it would be a problem when I stop being a loli.

That said, even though I’m making various efforts to approach him, his reaction is as if he’s completely oblivious, which is unacceptable for a girl’s heart.

So, today—today, when summer vacation starts tomorrow. I think I’m going to kiss Yasushi. I’ve never done it before, so I’m really nervous…!

Even so, during this summer vacation, I wanted to get closer to Yasushi during this time of adolescence.

There are two main reasons.

One reason is that I genuinely want to kiss Yasushi and get closer to him like a proper couple.

And the other reason is that I want to firmly prove that we are a couple, so that the cool Yasushi, who becomes more attractive the more you get to know him, won’t be stolen away by another girl who might start to fall for him.

Even though I lived until the age of 26 in my previous life, whether it’s because I’m a student now or because I’m being pulled back into my 13-year-old body, summer vacation feels incredibly delightful.

The end-of-term ceremony is over, and today I can go home in the afternoon—it’s not an exaggeration to say that I jumped straight into summer vacation the moment I got home.

With all that going on, I let Ichika-chan lead me home by the hand.

Even after becoming middle school students and commuting by train, we still walk home holding hands, just like always.

Is it a habit from elementary school, or does she still not trust me? Or is it proof that Ichika-chan has feelings for me as a lover?

I don’t have the “eye of wisdom,” so I don’t really understand, but I was quite happy just holding hands.

I am planning my upcoming summer vacation in my head.

For now, I’ll finish the homework on the first day, and then I can spend a lot of time playing with Ichika-chan.

I don’t dislike working out, but right now, my desire to cherish time with Ichika-chan outweighs that.

Even so, there’s no real point in getting any stronger. At most, I don’t have a hobby I can immerse myself in to clear my mind during my free time, so it might as well just be a hobby.

Huh? Hasn’t it always been like this?

While I was thinking about such things, the train arrived at the station. Perhaps because of the midsummer heat, the space between Ichika-chan’s and my hands was slightly damp with sweat.

On the way home. The same old way home as usual.

Originally, since this is a rural area, few people pass by, but since it’s around noon in midsummer, there were even fewer people than usual. In such a quiet place, Ichika-chan turned to me with an unusually serious expression.

“Yasushi. I like you.”

“…Y-yeah. I-I like Ichika-chan too.”

I’m taken aback by the suddenness of it all. It’s not that unusual to say or be told “I like you,” but when it’s said so seriously and formally, it makes my heart skip a beat.

But, why now? Is it the excitement before summer vacation, or does Ichika-chan want to take our relationship further during the summer break, just like I do?

“I know. But I still want you to show it through your actions. Yasushi, you’re really cool. I think some people in the class have already noticed your charm. That’s why I get even more anxious.”

Ichika-chan’s words were quite surprising to me.

Even though I’ve become quite free, I still can’t perfectly control my “intimidation,” so I can’t have satisfactory communication with others unless Ichika-chan is in between.

Even so, I’m bad at building relationships, so it would be extremely difficult for me to become a lover or even a friend to anyone other than Ichika-chan.

That’s why I thought I was the only one who felt the anxiety that someone else might steal her away and, eventually, that she might get fed up with me.

“But, what do you mean by ‘action’…?”

I didn’t really understand what the appropriate “action” was in this situation.

Yeah, I kind of get it. The embarrassment and anxiety of getting the answer wrong just make me hesitate.

What was the “Complete Mental Resistance” skill for? No, this conflict and these troubles are probably the kind of things that are better not prevented by a skill.

“That’s why…”

Ichika-chan lightly stretched and touched her lips to mine.

Ichika-chan’s face is closer to me than ever before. Her long eyelashes extend from her closed eyes, and her snow-white skin has no pores even at this close distance.

“This is what I mean. Did you even think about me a little?”

As I stood there in a daze for a while, Ichika-chan blushed all the way to her neck, gave me a mischievous smile, and then said, “Well then, let’s have a fun summer vacation!” before running off.

The direction to home was the same, but instead of running after him, I just stood there, dumbfounded.

Huh? Kiss… was I kissed?

Including my past life, this is my completely first kiss. Our lips just touched. More over, Ichika-chan, who tightly closed her eyes, clearly seemed inexperienced.

I wasn’t exactly doubting it, but it seemed like Ichika-chan really didn’t have a partner from her past life. Plus, I was happy that we could kiss so genuinely.

And, it’s even more painful.

My heart is racing, but more than that, my lower body feels tight. Right now, I’m in a 13-year-old’s body. I experienced my first ejaculation around this age in my previous life too. In my past life, I used to do it like a monkey when I was just getting the hang of it, and I even fantasized about doing it with Ichika-chan.

That said, I lived until I was 26 in my previous life, and with that experience, I certainly wouldn’t get excited about a 13-year-old girl. However, Ichika-chan was different.

Even though we have been childhood friends and have been together since we were little, Ichika-chan’s mental age is not that of a child due to our past lives. Moreover, I remembered the days when I often fantasized about being with Ichika-chan in my previous life.

What does Ichika-chan’s “fun summer vacation” mean?

I ran home with all my might, trying to return my brain—now turning pink—to its usual pure white. …But isn’t 13 too early for a first experience?

According to the law, the age of consent for sexual activity is recognized as 13, but the ordinance—no, wait, I mean, I am physically 13, so the juvenile delinquency ordinance doesn’t apply to me either!!

For now, let’s do some strength training to cool my head.

Heightened sexual desire can be a good source of energy for weight training.

While increasing the burden of magic power, I was doing high knees and lateral shuffles—acting like a student who had gone crazy with summer vacation energy. When I finally got home, I sensed an incredibly strange presence coming from the closet where the futon was stored.

When I opened it, instead of a futon, I found a hideous little creature with green skin, reminiscent of something I had seen about four years ago.
