A very beautiful sight came into my view the moment I came out of the hospital where I was born. The view was the vast blue sky directly above my head, the various skyscrapers surrounding me, and the sound of voices being heard throughout the surrounding area. I felt a very happy feeling the first time I saw the outside world.

Is this the world I live in? Amazing, it's as described in the book.

"How is the view of the outside world, Tsukasa-chan? Beautiful, isn't it?" Seeing my mesmerized eyes with the view of the outside world, Grandpa took the initiative to ask me.

"B-ba" I answered him with the answer I used yesterday adding to a simple applause.

"Hahahaha... I see, I see. You really like the outside world, don't you? You know, the world we live in is a very, very external one. Even where we live is only a small part of this world"

I already knew about the explanation given by Grandpa. However, I am very happy because so far I have gained all the knowledge I have through self-study, no one has accompanied me to study, and no one has wanted to teach me. They only saw me as an experimental subject and never treated me as a human. Even if it was a science that I already knew, I felt a good experience from the teaching that Grandpa did.

The two of us started to leave the hospital area with Grandpa carrying me. Grandpa stopped at the edge of the road and my eyes looked ahead to see the various vehicles passing on the road. Seeing my curiosity, Grandpa took the initiative to teach me and started talking to me with every bit of knowledge he had until a bus stopped and Grandpa got on and took the priority seat.

The feeling of riding the bus was quite overwhelming for me. I could feel the vibrations in my body as the bus started moving. I saw on the bus that the passengers were divided into two groups. The first group is the person who takes the seat while the second group is the person who takes the initiative to stand up.

The trip for both of us took about 30 minutes and Grandpa paid for our trip before getting off the bus. I saw a street filled with all kinds of people shopping and selling.

Will this be my new home?

This was the first thing that crossed my mind. Grandpa started walking into the shopping district. Within the shopping district there are various kinds of sales for daily needs ranging from basic needs, household needs, and various other needs. By the time Grandpa entered the district, I think Grandpa was quite famous because a lot of people greeted him the moment he passed them with him greeting back with a happy smiling face. I thought maybe because of my presence.

Grandpa stopped right in the middle of the shopping center, "Tsukasa-chan, this will be your new home. How do you like it?"

I turned my eyes to see a small house that stood two floors. On the first or ground floor, it is possible that this house was built to become Grandpa's business land to meet all his needs, while the second floor is the floor for resting. I am not disappointed with the new house I will be living in. Even if this house is of a worse quality than the one I lived in before, at least here I have people I care about, I have the love of family, I am not being watched over like a pet, and I am not being used without knowing its main purpose. I have complete freedom here.

"Ba-ba" I replied while clapping my hands cheerfully seeing our new home.

"Ha ha ha. Do you like it? Good, good. Then, let's go inside. Grandpa will introduce you to the new house that you will live in." Grandpa then started to enter with me into his house.

When I entered, I saw that there were various items on the first floor. I read the name of each item and concluded that each of these items are sweets that are quite traditional in Japan and are usually snacks for children. After showing me the first floor while explaining it, Grandpa led me to the second floor.

The size of the second floor is more or less the same as the first floor. There are two small bedrooms, a small kitchen and a small bathroom. For the living room, I think Grandpa made the first floor a living room for this house. After being satisfied with showing me the house, Grandpa took me into a small room. Grandpa laid me on the floor and started to prepare a bed for me to use.

By the time my bed was ready, Grandpa moved me there while taking it out, taking out a bottle that was already filled with liquid filled with milk, and handed it over to me for me to drink. I drank slowly under Grandpa's help. Due to my age problem, my body still can't move well, and my muscles haven't developed well. Everything he does still needs help from Grandpa. While helping me drink, Grandpa started to talk about various things until he talked about my family.

It turned out that my mother died when giving birth to me, while my father left my mother when he found out that my mother was the son of a traditional sweet seller. Grandpa has no other children apart from my mother. The room occupied now is my mother's room. Heard that Dad had left my Mom, Grandpa and I. I don't have any feelings of anger, but rather gladness because I know such a person is an asshole who shouldn't be by my family's side right now.

Until my milk ran out, Grandpa laid me back on the futon that had been prepared earlier, "Tsukasa-chan, Grandpa stay first, Ok? So good boy. Grandpa will go downstairs to continue working in order to earn money to meet our needs, OK? Don't cry and fuss."

"Ba-ba" I still answered as usual.

Leaving me in this room with a smile, Grandpa started walking away downstairs. I breathed a sigh of relief, now that my stomach is full of the milk that was given to me earlier, I have also obtained quite useful information about my background in this world. Due to my current body problem, I still can't do anything right now. However, I can still plan something in the future to prepare everything.

The thing I need to do in this world is develop myself. The earliest that I can develop is science. Science is very important. I need knowledge in this world. I don't know if this world is the same as my previous world, one thing I do know is that the history of this world must be very different from the history of the previous world. Even in the concept of parallel worlds, the history between the two worlds which are identical worlds can be different from each other. After all, with knowledge, I can get a lot of good jobs and also not be easily fooled by others.

The second thing I need to go back to and probably should go along with the science of is physical fitness. I read a lot of books on medical issues and also the human body. Physical fitness is something that really needs to be developed by every human being. Because with the development of physical fitness, the body will always be healthy and it is very difficult to be attacked by disease because the body produces strong antibodies.

A person who has knowledge but does not have good physical fitness, I think it is the same as a computer that is very vulnerable to something. A person who has excellent physical fitness but has a stupid brain, I think that is like an aggressive animal and does not think about the consequences associated with the actions taken. As a human being who has been given both, I would be very foolish not to develop these two to be my weapons in the future to help Grandpa find his happiness.

After thinking about all the plans I will do after my body has started to operate independently. I began to be attacked again by a very heavy drowsiness. I sighed and felt that a child's mental abilities were very weak. However, I am also quite happy because this will be the first experience for me to be able to live in the house occupied by my family under the vast blue sky view.
