First Lover

“I really should have confessed to her in my previous life!”

When Ichika-chan told me, the first emotion I had was overwhelming warmth.

Even if we went back to the age of six, and if I had become lovers with Ichika-chan in our previous life, we would have been able to become lovers once again. We would have many more memories to share.

I don’t know how many times I’ve swallowed the word “love” since I met Ichika-chan! But even those regrets and frustrations are trivial in the face of the joy of becoming lovers with Ichika.

After all, I’m only 12 years old now, and there’s plenty of time to start over.

It’s not that I am not nervous. I’ve never had a girlfriend before, so I don’t know what to do, and I don’t know if a guy like me can make Ichika-chan happy.

Not only that, but I’m also worried about the dungeon that abruptly appeared two years ago. Besides, it wouldn’t look good if I failed the exam after inviting her to take it with me.

As such, the two sixth graders spent more time studying for exams and strengthening Ichika-chan than training his own muscles.

I studied for the entrance examinations to not inadvertently solve Tsurukame arithmetic with simultaneous equations and to reduce the number of ordinary mistakes, such as the use of the word “tome” in kanji.

It’s the second time around in my life that I’m in a dilemma, and it’s a school I was accepted to once, so I’ll probably be fine.

Ichika-chan also seemed to be comfortable here, as it was her second time too.

And the other one was strengthening Ichika-chan so that she will not die the next time a dungeon and monsters come. Of course, now that we are lovers, I will protect her even if it costs my life, but the appearance of the dungeon itself is completely irregular.

It’s impossible not to leave for a moment, and there is always a chance. Besides, I also want to test the power of this newly acquired “Skill Transmission.”

Many of the transmissions require body contact, and if you want, you can touch them even if you don’t need to. So I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have ulterior motives.

I hope she will forgive me for being a lover and not a sexual harasser.

In this enhancement, after acquiring the special skill “Skill Duplication” at the very beginning, various statuses appeared/increased—Enhancement, Automatic HP recovery, Super Recovery, Super Regeneration. Also, the instructed resistance systems emerged such as Mental Complete Resistance, Physical Complete Resistance, Magical Power Complete Resistance, Damage Reduction, and finally Increased Experience Points.

I don’t know if it is the effect of the Skill Transfer or if this is a learning support obtained through Ichika-chan’s “Wisdom Eye.” However, except for the meaningless complete resistance system that has two or more, and “Super Recovery” and “Super Regeneration,” all three or four were taught.

Occasionally, we will go shopping together, and since we had a big wheel incident sometime ago, we often went out together as two families. As part of that, we once went to the beach together while hiding the fact that we were lovers.

I was very excited when Ichika-chan came to my grandparents’ house around the end of autumn, saying she wanted to experience farm work.

Grandma and Grandpa and my parents were in a surprisingly welcoming mood.

“… He’s all alone doing muscle training, but I’m glad he brought you.” 

“I am relieved that I could see the face of my great-grandson,” said Grandpa.

Father said, “He’s such a stupid son. Thank you for staying with him all the time.”

What the hell does my family think of me?

I’m not a terrible student, and I’m very athletic, so what’s there to complain about?

But I didn’t feel bad about the fact that Ichika-chan was being treated like my future wife. In fact, I was extremely happy.

So winter came, and at the end of January, I finally took the exam.

The questions were familiar; I remembered a time in a previous life when, after taking an exam, I had a cram session to reflect on my answers.

For example, I remember I made a mistake in reading the author’s thoughts in the explanation of the third question in the Japanese section.

I still don’t understand the author’s idea, but when I compare it with the tendency of the questions and the answers of the past problems – well, I guess it’s like this.

Time goes by like that, with the months going, coming, and going again.

I was very nervous to open the seal of the acceptance announcement in February, but both Ichika-chan and I passed. We hugged each other and shared our joy without feeling too old.

… No, honestly, I thought I was sure I was going to pass when I scored myself. I really just wanted to hug Ichika-chan in a “happily unintentional” kind of way.

It’s fine! We’re officially lovers now, after all!

That’s how I graduated from elementary school.

Looking back, the past six years have been a lot of fun.

Training hard, playing with Ichika-chan, then training hard again and go to dungeons to level up. It’s a cycle of training and being Ichika-chan’s boyfriend.

In my previous life, I remember being bullied by teachers and being messed with by my classmates. It was more or less troublesome, but in this life, if I threaten them and restrain them with “Magic Power Intimidation” or “Muscle Power Intimidation,” no one will do anything nasty to me.

In case you’re wondering, Ichika-chan’s status is roughly like this, as she’s about to enter her first year of middle school.

Unique Skill: 

Wisdom Eye

Perhaps because of the high-level skills of the reinforcement system, it is difficult to level up, hence she’s still stuck at Lv1.

Still, my title “Violence of Numbers” applies, so my status is not low.

It would have been easier to get up there with repetitive attempts, but I couldn’t pass on any unique skills.

In addition, the “Wisdom Eye” seems to be a skill obtained at Appraisal lvl75.

It is said that one can see the magic power with the eyes or one can do something about it. But I don’t have it, so I can’t understand it.

And so we became junior high school students.

If my memory and prediction are correct, there will be another disaster in Niigata this summer.
