An Old Memory
January Fifth
Runwalker March
Regalia Army
“Shit! Why did the Sword Saint show up! Isn’t she supposed to not be around during this period!? Besides, weren’t you saying that your surprise attack will definitely succeed!”
‘Don!’, General Gregorius bangs the table and yells at Galgante. The other Vice-Generals around are also glaring at Galgante. The inside of the tent has an extremely tensed atmosphere.
The ones currently inside the tent are, Ijuuin, Shidou, Endou-san, Mari-chan, Kana-chan, and me. Apart from that, the Regalia Army’s representatives with General Gregorius as the head. And Galgante.
……Madarame and the others didn’t come back. They commenced a surprise attack on the Runwalker Territory’s town with Galgante, but it was apparently defended against by the enemies. And then Galgante says that Madarame and the others were either captured or killed.
Furthermore, because he says that it’s by a youngster who’s younger than us, the Hero group, General Gregorius and the others are furious, going, ‘don’t screw with us’.
It was going well for our side too, until midway. The ally soldiers managed to fix the ladders onto the fortress as well as climb up after all. However, thanks to the intervention by the Sword Saint, whom he talked about just now, over there, the Regalia Army’s ranks were disarrayed, and they were stuck with retreating.
Both Ijuuin and I managed to retreat somehow. It might’ve been bad had Shidou, Kana-chan and the others not came to help midway.
“I don’t know even if you say such things to me. It was unforeseen for me as well after all”
Galgante too angrily responds to what General Gregorius said. Indeed, it’s probably unforeseen for Galgante as well. He was filled with confidence when he started today’s mission after all.
Amidst such a tense conference
“Excuse me!”
a single soldier comes in. When everybody looks over there all at once, the soldier who came in goes, ‘hii‘, and lets out a frightened voice.
“What do you want!?”
“Ye, yes. A messenger from Nanor’s side has come. What should we do?”
“A messenger from the Nanor Army, you say?”
General Gregorius raises his voice loudly at that fact. It’s indeed the first time that a messenger came since this war started. I wonder what they want. General Gregorius says to let the messenger through.
And then at the words of the messenger that came, us, the Hero group, turned pale, and General Gregorius shook in anger.
The content conveyed by the messenger was, the Regalia Army’s immediate retreat. If we cannot accept this, before Regalia Army’s eyes, they’ll execute the captured Madarame and the others.

“……n! to……san! ……up!”
I can hear some kind of a voice. It’s a very nostalgic voice.
“Haya……ni……n! Hayato-niisan! Please wake up!”
“u, uun? ……uwah!?”
I wake up, woken up by somebody, and my cousin, who has long black straight hair with adorable looks, was there before my eyes.
“Uwah! Hey, that’s mean! Hayato-niisan! Even though I went through the trouble of waking you up!”
“Hahaha, sorry, Kana. I’m going to be surprised if there’s an adorable face like Kana’s before my eyes, right?”
“A, a, a, adorable!? E, ehehe, Hayato-niisan said I’m adorable. Ge, geez, more importantly, please quickly wake up. You’ll be late for school! Ehehe”
Kana says and leaves the room. I change into my uniform and go down to the first floor. I head to the living room after washing my face in the washroom. Everybody was already waiting.
“Good morning, Otou-san, Okaa-san”
“Aah, good morning. Hayato as well, quickly eat. You’ll be late”
“Yes, good morning. I’ve left your lunchbox at the usual spot, alright”
“Un. I got it. Itadakimasu”
Being woken up by Kana, and eating breakfast with everybody in the morning is my daily routine. After that, Kana and I commute to school together. I mean, we’re in the same high school after all.
“Hayato-niisan! You’ve forgotten the umbrella! It’ll apparently rain around the time you go back today, so please go and take it!”
“Oh, is that so. Thanks, Kana. Kana is adorable, skilled at housework, and able to be attentive; the man who marries Kana sure is blessed”
“Wha, wha, wha, wha, wha, what are you saying! Ge, geez! Hayato-niisan you idiot!”
Kana ended up blushing and hanging her head. And then over there
“Kaーna-min! Good morningー!”
“Hyaaah!”
a girl who grabs Kana’s breasts tightly from behind, Mari-chan, showed up. Oou. The breasts are about D goes, ‘munyuu‘
“Wha, what are you doing, Mari!”
“What, you say, it’s a morning greeting, g・r・e・e・t・i・n・g! Isn’t that right, Hayato-san!”
“Hahaha. I can’t say anything, but good morning Mari-chan”
The two of them have been classmates since middle school. Because they get along well, she came to play at our house several times. Because of that, she’s acquainted with me as well. She’s a junior in school after all.
After that, the three of us go until the school together and split up at the school building. On our way to school, this school’s number one hunk and a girl who’s a model were greeting Kana-chan and Mari-chan huh.
When I enter the classroom, I chat with my friends. Taking the boring lessons and eating lunch while chatting with my friends every day.
And then when the closing chime rings, everybody heads to their respective location. If there are people who go back, then there are also those who go to club activities. I belong to the go-home club, so I’m naturally going back though.
“Ah, it’s raining”
Kana’s umbrella didn’t end up a waste huh. I open the umbrella and left the school. Kana and Mari-chan were saying that they’ll go back after going shopping somewhere, so I’m alone today.
I will normally get scolded by Kana if I don’t go home together though. Okaa-san and company also say to stay together to be safe. However, the substantial jealousy from the guys around because Kana and Mari-chan are quite adorable is the only thing I wish would stop. Hunk-kun glares at me occasionally as well after all.
Oops, the traffic light is red. Nevertheless, I wonder what I should do today. Maybe I’ll go home and read a manga. Or maybe I should go to a shop somewhere as well.
The traffic light turned green as I was thinking about that. I start crossing. A game works too, I wonder what I should do. As I’m pondering in such a manner
“Noooooooo!”
I hear a woman’s scream from behind. A woman stood frozen when I look back. Over there is a car that ignores the traffic light and charging at her. It looks like the woman can’t move from overwhelming fear.
Everybody around is just watching. Somebody has to go and help her. At this rate! I was moving my body before I know it. I then push the woman out of the way, and I……

January Sixth
Runwalker March
Mansion
“Hah! ……haahaa”
I raise my body vigorously. I look around and it’s the familiar room. It’s my room in the mansion that’s in the Runwalker Territory. Ferris is on my left side, and Chrona is on my right side sleeping. Eclat tumbled down from the top of my abdomen, but she still hasn’t woke up.
“……why did the memory at that time come up after so long”
It’s what happened on that day that became the cause of me reincarnating into this world. I had recalled it occasionally back when I reincarnated, but I wonder why it came up even though I didn’t recall it at all these few years.
“Maybe I’m exhausted from what happened yesterday?”
What happened yesterday is, what happened after I went into the bath with Chrona. When we head to the living room after we came out of the bath, Alexia and the others, who found us, captured me.
The reason is that Chrona came out of the bath blushing. Because of that, I was suspected of whether or not I laid my hands on Chrona.
I couldn’t have them believe me even when I say that there’s no way I’ll lay my hands on a girl who’s still, ten years old, I ended up being made to sit in seiza-style and lectured for about 2 hours. After that, all of us went into the bath together and I was made to do the same thing I did to Chrona for some reason.
One by one, I sit them on top of my crossed-leg and whisper love to them. Because of that, I was stuck with staying in the bath for an extended period; to the extent my consciousness was half-blurry. Shrewdly, Chrona entered as well.
But, everybody’s mood recovered as well thanks to that, but contrary to the happily ever after, they started bickering over who will sleep with me this time around. Not in a sexual way; they’re bickering over who will sleep in the same bed as me.
The ones who won at the end of it were Ferris and Chrona, the Beastfolk combination. Ah, Eclat had acquired the special spot on top of my abdomen.
I couldn’t quite fall asleep because Chrona is in my right hand, Ferris is in my left hand, Eclat above my abdomen, and on top of being unable to move, there’s the unique sweet fragrance of women, but it felt good to caress the ears of the two of them. Both of them were looking happy as well after all.
“Fuu. I don’t know why I recalled such a nostalgic dream, but I guess I’ll wake up”
I’ll participate in the war as well from today onwards. I’ve got to fire myself up from the morning.
……at this time, I had not the slightest idea that we would actually meet again.
