I wonder if it’s too much if I divide the chapter to seven parts 😅 Quantity v.s fast updates… Though they aren’t coming out that fast.. 😣 Just a side note, I will be fixing some stuff in the site since I can’t post this release on the home page so I won’t be starting working on the next part until then.. Scratch that, I found an easy solution.
Status: Translating Will edit soon 💪
I open my eyes reluctantly, then glare at the source of the noise.
「Ahh! It’s not a dream! Phil opened his eyes!」
When I looked around a while ago I didn’t notice because it was a blind spot, it seems there was someone next to the bed.
Moreover, it’s a blond blue eyed glittering handsome boy. He’s wearing frilled clothes like those of a prince from the middle ages and it suits him well.
…… Cosplayer?
Why is there a cosplayer in this kind of place? I, I wonder if I’m still asleep?
「Phil woke up, inform the others please」
The handsome boy spoke to someone outside the door, I clench my hand tightly and moisten my eyes.
「Phil, do you remember what happened?」
Phil? Who are they talking about?
…… Is it about me?
I was born and raised in Japan. Both my parents are japanese, and even if one was to look four generations back, all my family members were japanese. I am a genuine Japanese individual.
But still, he calls me Phil. I never had it, this kind of foreign-like nickname.
But …… The voice calling Phil, it sounds strangely familiar.
Even this handsome blond cosplayer, I remember him from somewhere.
Why ……?
I tilt my small head and think.
「Ahhh!」
Raising my voice, I suddenly get up in a hurry.
「o-ouch~! It hurtsー!」
At that moment, I suddenly felt a head-splitting pain from the back of my head. I embraced my head and fell paralyzed on the bed.
「Phil! Are you okay? You shouldn’t move abruptly」
The handsome blond boy’s hand approached me and gently stroked my back.
t/n: I’m not sure if it’s “boy’s hand approached me” or “boy’s hand propped me up”.
As my head sobered-up, the pain settled down and went away. At the same time, an electric current jolted my memory as I had a flashback.
It feels like my head is going to burst as numerous data flows in, but it’s not the time to say this kind of thing.
Barely able to grasp reality, I was overwhelmed by shock and my body was shivering and trembling. To hold myself back, I embraced myself.
I then slowly pulled back my arms, and stared at my hands for a while.
My hand ―― It’s very small.
I am the third son of the small kingdom of Greshart’s royal family. If both brothers and sisters are counted, then I would be the fifth and youngest prince.
That is to say, my name is Phil Greshart. I am three and a half years old.
Although Greshart kingdom is small it is blessed with resources, it also has nothing but gentle and kind people. In these past three years, I didn’t even face a single hardship. I was brought up in utter happiness.
Such a thing, I noticed the presence of another person by hitting my head.
…… No it’s not a different person’s existence. The hit is not to blame either, because it’s not that I became strange.
t/n: Hell, this sentence (above) took hours to figure out…
That’s my previous existence. My university student self was traveling to my part-time job on a bicycle. There, a cat suddenly jumped out; and when I avoided it, a truck thrust into me.
The only thing it can be called is bad luck. I guess it was instant death. Was it at least my salvation that I lost consciousness briefly after feeling the pain? …… I wonder what is so unsatisfying.
If I didn’t have a part-time job, if the cat didn’t jump out, if the truck didn’t come …… If you think about all the what if’s the possibilities are endless. But, to work with all my efforts just to cling onto life, I didn’t think it would end so easily.
When I think of my hardships until now, I feel very regretful. Because even though I was thinking for a long time in my life, enduring that grandfather’s disagreeability, and even though I endured a life of poverty. That is, for my life 1 to end midway is too much.
1 This was actually “志”, which translates as: will,resolve, determination, aspirations, hope. But I felt like he meant his life, and “life” goes better in the sentence than “will”.
