Having Reincarnated a Million Times I Won’t Let My Guard Down Even in a Peaceful World

15: Contract – Testament –

By the way, regarding Anna, she seemed to have a big misunderstanding.

The kindergarten course is for children aged four to six.

That means entering the kindergarten at four years old, turning five in the year of entry, moving up to the upper class (seniors) at five years old, turning six that same year, and graduating.

Strictly speaking, there is about a year and a half age difference between me and Anna…

…Ugh, my head is starting to spin!

A four-year-old brain can’t handle too many complicated things—yes, especially when it comes to numbers, it can get confusing. I’m currently using my fingers to calculate diligently, but when I do complex addition and subtraction like this, my head really starts to heat up.

Anna was probably in the same state as me.

In other words, by the time I entered kindergarten, Anna had already moved on to the elementary level.

Anna is in a bad mood.

…Why?

I didn’t understand.

Anna thought we could be together in kindergarten. However, her calculations were off, and by the time I entered kindergarten, Anna had already moved on to the elementary level. That’s why she’s mad at me. Hmm… why…?

No matter how many times I organize the information, I just can’t understand.

Sometimes Anna comes to my place and says “Anna, I’m angry!” while we play together, but that’s troublesome for me.

However, I’m a five-year-old who has lived a hundred million lives.

I’m used to this kind of unreasonable treatment――in fact, it’s rare for me to encounter someone who doesn’t treat me unreasonably.

Throughout my past lives, I’ve always been at odds with people who vent their unreasonable frustrations on me. I’ve never had the opportunity to make them realize that their behavior is unreasonable.

But with Anna, I have a relatively easy conversation――which means I might be able to choose the option of “clearing up misunderstandings and becoming friends” that I couldn’t do before.

Becoming friends――it’s a sweet thought that even I can’t help but laugh at. But I wanted to take that path. I wanted to take it at any time. However, my environment didn’t allow it.

But now, my environment permits it. Anna, who is venting her unreasonable frustrations on me, is someone I’ve spent half my life with, someone who comes to play with me every week, and someone who takes a nap with me in the same futon… Are we really not getting along?

But logic doesn’t work on children.

That week, I tried to make amends with Anna, who came to my house to play.

I said, “Your anger is completely unreasonable, and it’s difficult for me to respond. However, I want to maintain a healthy and long-term relationship with you, so please understand that your words are unreasonable and calm down.”

If I were to say this as a five-year-old, it would become “Let’s make up!”

“Yeah, let’s make up!”

Anna and I exchanged these words.

Milim, who was sitting next to us, poked me with her tail.
