Starting Over as a Kindergartener to Fulfill My First Love! - Episode 1.3

Come to think of it, why did Mom only get angry about me saying “I” and not question me about the proposal to Tsune-chan later…?

Do they think it’s just the nonsense of a kindergarten kid?

It’s understandable if you think that way, but…

Well, let’s not worry about such things for now.

After all, this is just a “dream” anyway…

I am grateful that it allowed me to have a very “convenient dream” for me.

I want to stay in this “dream” for as long as possible.

So, God, please.

Please, don’t wake me up for a little while longer.

Please let me experience just a little bit more of what I couldn’t experience in the past…

Oh, right.

Let’s ask to see again the paper with Tsune-chan’s home address that Mom just briefly showed us.

“Uh, Mom? Could you show me that paper again from earlier?”

“Hmm? Sure, go ahead. Here you go…”

I took the paper my mom handed me and, feeling a bit excited, tried to read it.

However, I was stunned.

No way…

“Wh…what? I can’t read kanji…??”

When I muttered that, my mom chuckled and said this to me.

“Of course, Ryu… You just graduated from kindergarten today. When you become a first grader, you’ll study a lot and learn a lot of kanji. It’s only natural that you can’t read them now. Eventually, you’ll be able to read them properly…”

Mom is telling me something “perfectly normal.”

I understand that too.

But why…

Why, in this “dream world”…… can’t I even read kanji that I should be able to read normally?

If you think about it normally, even if they are kindergarteners, their insides are like those of an “old man.”

I’m much older than Mom is now…

Just a moment ago, I thought this “dream world” was a “convenient world” for me, but suddenly it has become an “inconvenient world.”

If this “dream” doesn’t end, I’ll have to start studying all over again from the first grade of elementary school.

It’s not just that.

Since my heart remains that of an adult, I have to be very careful with my way of thinking and speaking, or else I will probably end up being an outcast in the class…

What should I do?

No, what do I really want to do…?

Are you waking up because you’re tired of it all?

No, that’s not right.

Even if it’s a hassle… after all…

I want to see Tsune-chan.

I want to have a long talk with Tsune-chan.

I want Tsune-chan to like me.

I want Tsune-chan to notice me…

Yeah, that’s true…

Since you finally got a chance to start over.

Well, if Mom reads me the address, I could probably take the train and find Tsune-chan’s house now.

And I might be able to meet Tsune-chan easily.

But, is that really okay?

What can I possibly do now, meeting Tsune-chan, when I can’t even read kanji like this anymore… and I probably can’t even do math anymore!?

Surely, Tsune-chan will only see me as just a “former kindergarten student.”

That’s not going to work!!

Then, it wouldn’t be any different from the real me.

I’m fine with being in a “dream”!

I want to marry Tsune-chan!!

For that reason, I need to reset my “real self” and be reborn!!

And then I made up my mind.

To meet Tsune-chan…

To talk with Tsune-chan…

To be liked by Tsune-chan…

To have Tsune-chan always watch over me…

Until I wake up from this dream, I’ll redo my studies… no, I’ll redo everything…

To meet my first love… and…

To make you love me…
