"Introduce yourself to me again." A teacher of a kindergarten said towards a blue haired boy.
"M-my...name is Shido Itsuka." A 5 year old Shido spoke in Japanese. He stuttered as he had trouble speaking the language.
"Very good. Your getting better at speaking Japanese, Itsuka-kun!" The teacher clapped her hands as she patted his head.
Shido nodded while also being uncomfortable and weirded out at being headpated.
"This feels weird....I don't get headpats in my previous life, I get emotional damage instead....and the occasional belt or stick....so weird...then again, anime world." Shido thought as he looked towards the other kids who were playing with each other.
"Do you want to play with them?" The kindergarten teacher asked him.
"What?" Shido looked at the teacher who was pointing at the other kids. Shido then understood what she meant as he shook his head no.
"No." Shido then looked at the book he was holding which was a japanese dictionary for kids.
"Still need to learn the language....besides, I don't really need to talk or interact with a bunch of kids really. I didn't pay enough attention in class in my past life before, I'm not wasting my time in a redo." Shido thought as he continued to read and try to understand the language.
The teacher looked at Shido with a contemplating look. She was bewildered and confused at his actions.
"His actions are odd for a 5 year old. I've seen kids who are too shy to talk to fellow kids, but Itsuka-kun doesn't seem like he is shy....he seems more....disconnected rather than shy." The teacher thought as she continued to look over the other kids, leaving Shido to his own devices.
_______
Shido continued to tune out everything around him to completely focus on the Japanese dictionary he was reading.
The other kids in the room looked at him weirdly, due to the fact he hasn't even once talked or played with any of them. They quickly soon called him a weirdo, nerd and bookworm.
Shido, despite tuning out everything around him, still managed to hear the names he was called by.
"....children." Shido ignored them, he was an adult. A grown man. Kids who didn't know any better calling him names was not going to get under his skin.
"I've been through enough of that...." The reincarnated thought as he reminisced of his past school life.
"God, I was hassle. I was easily triggered by the smallest of things....so many people were bitten, relentlessly chased with a chair in my hands and threatened to be stabbed by a pen or pencil." He lightly smirked at the memory of his school days.
Good times...sorta.
"....I wonder what my family is doing right now." The smirk fell as his face turned neutral at thinking about his past family.
"...No doubt they'd be affected with my death....hope they'll be fine without me." Shido blinked as he felt tears starting to form from his eyes.
He quickly wiped those tears away as he then continued with reading the Japanese dictionary for kids.
________
"So, how was school?" Shido sat in the back seat of the car he was in. He looked at his foster father, Tatsuo Itsuka, who was driving the car.
"It was fine." Shido answered in Japanese with a heavy American accent in it.
Tatsuo was surprised at Shido speaking Japanese as he usually spoke in english.
"You can speak Japanese now?" Tatsuo spoke in Japanese as he awaited to hear his adopted son's answer.
"Eh...so so." Shido responded with a "so so" hand gesture and a neutral face.
"That's great! Did you make any friends?" Tatsuo asked.
"No. I didn't bother with that." Shido sighed as he looked out the car window. It's not that he doesn't want friends, he's fine with having friends, but he won't actively try to find them.
"Plus, it would feel a bit weird for grown man in a kid body to be friends with children." Shido thought as he yawned and slowly nodded off to sleep.
Tatsuo looked at Shido from the reflection of the car mirror. He had a frown on his face and was a bit worried if Shido would grow up to be an antisocial loner.
"I'm worrying too much....Shido is just oddly unchildlike for a kid. He can make friends, he'll be fine when he grows up." Tatsuo thought outloud while driving the car.
"....I heard that. Don't worry to much." Shido spoke with his eyes closed as Tatsuo akwardly smiled as he drove.
________
Shido sat on the couch as he watched anime on tv. Haruko was in the kitchen making dinner while Tatsuo was upstairs in the house.
"Guu..." Shido felt baby hands tugging his shirt. He then looked to the source as he saw baby Kotori looking at him...and drooling all over his shirt.
"....your adorable but I'm annoyed that your drooling on me." Shido said as he grabbed Kotori and placed her on his lap.
"Ga!" Kotori started to grabbed his shirt, sometimes she grabbed his face. She did this with a smile and giggle.
Shido looked at Kotori with an annoyed look. "....so you were always an annoying brat huh?"
Shido then smirked as tickled her stomach causing the red haired baby to giggle.
"....Oh, I'm going to hate you when you start jumping on me....so you better not, else, you might get punched." Shido continued booped her nose as he continued with tickling the baby with an amused face.
___Chapter End___
Nothing much happened in this chapter. Just a little slice of life of Si Shido living a second normal life before he gets into the female ticking timebombs.
Hope you enjoyed.
