March.

The rape blossoms are starting to bloom. When I went to the park, I saw a field of rapeseed flowers with a bright yellow carpet.

The plum blossoms are blooming, and the world is starting to feel more like spring.

The sun is shining and it's getting warmer, so it's fun to take a walk.

Unlike my previous life, I can see the scenery directly with my own eyes, so the colors are vivid and everything I see is fun.

Reira dressed me in a spring coat, and I was happy walking hand in hand with the flowers.

It's almost been a year since I started living here.

I studied a lot, practiced my vocalizations, and went swimming.

I got to know everyone in the Sakisaka family, and I also got to know Chikage.

The season has come full circle.

I had many experiences that I couldn't have had in my previous life.

I was born and raised in a privileged environment and have had a blessed year.

Still, my happiness was meeting Reira.

Last March, Reira came to see me for the first time, and from that moment on, my happiness became all about spending time with her.

I spent time with Reira as family, and Reira was kind to me. Eating meals, taking a bath, sleeping together, taking a walk.

Reira was always with me.

I was happy because Reira was with me.

I was happy that Reira was holding my hand.

I was happy to see Reira smile.

I hope this happiness continues.

"This is a world map."

"Wow"

I asked Reira to show me the map.

It's not electronic, it's a large piece of paper.

The world was drawn on the paper that filled the table.

Mountain ranges, rivers, and forests are also depicted.

And as I expected, the terrain was exactly the same as in my previous life.

The only difference is the border.

I had studied a lot of topography in my previous life, so I immediately realized that this map was exactly the same as my previous life. In this world, the calendar, weights and measures, natural environment, and movement of the stars are all the same as in the previous life. Only the language and history are different.

That's why this world is a parallel world.

I'm sure the time when cloning technology was developed was around the time I died in my previous life. Electric cars in this world are a much more advanced technology. But I don't think their histories diverged there; they're just similar, but I think they're originally different histories. It's a similar and different world.

I've already had a reincarnation experience, but it's interesting to have another mysterious experience.

"This is the country of Els. It's the only country on this continent. It's the center of the world's economy and politics. It hosts the five major councils."

After saying that, Reira pointed to the part of the North American continent. She then went on to tell me that the eastern and western European continents were the Hyde country, the African continent was the Nangara country, and the South American continent was the Faria country. All countries other than Els are representative of continental countries.

"And this is the Land of Akebono. This is our country. This continent suffered great losses due to God's punishment and rampage, and it took a long time for the chaos to end, so the activities of the nation are still a skeleton. Akebono, which had a relatively stable political economy compared to the previous world, has become a representative continent despite being an island nation.''

The place Reira pointed to is a place in Japan.

“Where are we?”

“Around here.”

When I asked, Reira pointed to the border area between Tohoku and Kanto.

The map is drawn with irregular cuts in the ocean area, and the sizes and shapes are generally easy to understand.

On this map, it seemed that nothing had changed in the geology or nature from my previous life.

I decided to ask a few questions to find out the differences from my previous life.

“Is this area a desert?”

"You know me well. That's right."

Reira answered as I pointed to the locations that correspond to the coast of Chile and the midwestern part of Australia.

It seems that ocean currents and wind movements are the same.

"What's going on here and here?"

"The government there is not functioning, and the residents are dependent on surrounding countries. The population has also declined significantly."

Is there anarchy from the Russian Ural Mountains to the east, the Middle East, Central Asia, and the Indian subcontinent? In the first place, it may be too expensive to develop the infrastructure to live there. Additionally, it may have been culturally difficult to create a female-dominated society.

"What's going on with the forests here and here?"

"It's an uninhabited area and it's full of plants."

Deforestation in South America and Africa has disappeared.

“Is there any change in the desert here?”

"No, there is no change."

There is no change in the Sahara. There doesn't seem to be any warming or drying. Is it safe to say that the atmosphere and winds above the continent are stable?

Apparently, the planetary environment in this world is stable at the moment, and there is no need to worry about disasters caused by climate change. It's been calculated that 800 years have passed since my previous life, but that's a good thing. This would make the world economy easier to manage.

“I wonder if there are any large military facilities around here?”

"I haven't heard anything in particular since a long time ago."

Reira said that she was referring to the areas around Russia and the places where there were US missile military bases. Apparently nuclear weapons were never developed. Looks like we don't have to worry about large-scale destruction from nuclear weapons.

This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

"Hasn't Akebono ever been in trouble due to an earthquake?"

"It's okay. In the previous world, there could be great damage, but in the present world, the land is efficiently used over a wide area, so even if a big earthquake occurs, the damage will be small and recovery will be quick."

It looks like we don't need to worry about large-scale damage from a huge earthquake. I was relieved.

After learning from Reira, I understand that this world is able to use its land efficiently from a socio-economic perspective without unnecessarily expanding the area where people live. That's why there are surprisingly few residential areas, but it's probably just right for the world's population of 3 billion people to live in. I guess it could be said that the abolition of the military and war was a major reason why any country was able to re-develop its land by focusing on its efficient use.

"Thank you. The world is a big place. I learned a lot. Please show me again."

I said that and asked him to put the map away.

Yuu sat on the sofa, dangling her legs, and talked to Reira.

"...Reira, I have something to discuss with you, would you listen to it?"

"Of course. Something."

"Perhaps, but I think that the scope of study for junior high school students ends in their fifth year. So, what should I do after that? I've already moved on for ten years, right?"

"Yes, I think it would be a good idea to study for high school students. Yuu, you'll be able to finish that quickly, right?"

"Maybe so. But do I have to go to school?"

``Yes, men don't have to go to school. Education is provided, but there are no performance requirements. Men are not required to work, and educational attainment has little social meaning for men.''

Really. Well, in my previous life I was bedridden, so I couldn't take practical courses, and I couldn't work even after I became an adult, so my position is still the same as it was in my previous life. However, I do have a yearning for going to school.

At this point, I decided to take the plunge and ask her something that I had been curious about.

"...Doesn't Reira think it's strange that I'll soon be finishing my studies as a high school student?"

“Is that strange?”

"Yeah...I thought it would be creepy for someone like me, who isn't even an elementary school student, to be able to understand studying like an adult."

Yuu lowered his eyes.

Then Reira smiled and said in a gentle voice.

"There's nothing creepy about it. In this country, society's way of thinking is to provide an environment that suits each person, whether it's a child or an adult. Gifted children should have an environment that responds to their needs. So if Yuu is talented, All you have to do is prepare a study plan that suits your needs.The same is true in the opposite case.You will not be ostracized or disadvantaged by society just because your abilities are inferior.

It is true that Yuu is the most intelligent child in this country. But there are other talented kids out there, even if they're not as good as Yuu. Not just the brain. So Yuu isn't creepy at all.

Yuu has a great brain, but isn't you still good at swimming? That's why you're a normal child. Yuu is so cute and I love you as you work hard on your vocal practice and swimming.

Reira said as she patted me on the head.

Reira is so kind. As long as Reira accepts me, that's fine.

I was relieved that one of the concerns I had had was resolved.

I was so happy that I hugged Reira tightly.

After a while he calmed down and continued his question.

“What are all the men doing?”

"It's like a man's job to live as a man.In order to thoroughly prevent women from becoming violent, in this country, 20 households consisting of one man and women, a total of about 100 people, form one unit. Among them, he acts as a conversation partner for the women, and sometimes he helps out at the male infant facility.It's the same at the Sakisaka family's village.He doesn't have a fixed job.Basically. His role is to live in a group of women."

"I see. That's an important role. Isn't there anything else?"

"There are also people who go outside of their villages and administrative districts, and they sometimes help out at school or with the administration.It's not a fixed job, but it depends on what's needed.Also, there are quite a few who become entertainers. There are. All of them center around living in a residential area.”

"Entertainer?"

"That's right. Theater, drama, movies, singers, etc. There are also people who become athletes. There are also women who are on professional sports teams. You have to be really good to be able to do it."

"It seems like men can do more than I thought."

"Yes, that's right. There are 500,000 men of all ages in this country, so if you look at it as a whole, there are quite a lot of men who do it as they like.However, rather than doing it as part of their job, they do it temporarily or as part-timers. That's why it's so different from the case for women.

Men are not in a position of duty or responsibility, so it's a good life to live with the Sakisaka family and have fun in the village without thinking too hard about it.''

"That's right. It would be fun to see Yaya grow up, give birth to a child, and take care of her."

"Yuu has many people around you who take good care of you, so I'm sure you'll live a happy life.''

Reira said so.

But what will make me happy as an adult?

I can't imagine being happier than I am now.

Life without Reira by my side can be fun, but I don't think it's happy.

"Yuu is still small, so it's best to focus on building your body."

"Yeah. Reira is always thinking about it. Thank you."

"It's natural since Yuu comes first. Can you reduce your plans for the afternoon?"

"Hmm. I'm going to continue like this for now."

I'm still a toddler, so a nap after lunch should actually be a good idea.

But I want to go to the pool or study, so I take a nap in the evening.

The rhythm of a toddler's body is a little different, isn't it?

In my previous life, I was bedridden, so I was able to sleep as much as I wanted and spend time with myself.

However, if you body is unable to move, such a busy life can actually become stressful.

That's why I lead a very strict lifestyle: I wake up at 5 a.m. to study, study after lunch, sleep for two hours in the evening, study, and go to bed at 12 p.m. I lived that kind of life without breaking down. Although I say studying, it is different from studying for entrance exams.

Because of that rhythm of life, I can't live a busy life even in this life.

If you spend your afternoon following the rhythm of a toddler, things that can be done in the afternoon inevitably end up being pushed back into the evening. I can't get used to that. And now I go to bed early at night. When I study or go to the pool in the evening, I get so flustered that I can't calm down.

If I do that, it will look like I am prioritizing studying and practicing in the afternoon as well.

"When children are in the third or ninth year of elementary school, they will live in the general citizen section, so they will be able to go to various places and do various things.It is good to experience things that you like at that time. Maybe.”

Oh, that's right. I like it. I can get close to the Sakisaka family and help out in the fields! In my previous life, all I did was study, so in this life I have to experience things. It seems so.

Well then, let's do our best at studying and practicing our vocal skills until we leave here.

There are still things I want to do, like calligraphy.

“I guess I can just live my life as long as I’m here.”

"I think that's fine. You can always do whatever you want, Yuu."

"Yes, thank you"

I hugged Reira tightly again. thank you as always.
