Chapter 1
(Kyle Calendar
Year 493: Age 0)
The Restarting
World
【⚔The History of the
Barony of Solis⚔ The Birth of the Second Son】
In the 493rd year of
the Kyle calendar, the second son, Takuhir, was born into the Solis baronial
family.
In later years, he
would inherit the baronial house and conduct flexible, people-led politics.
However, the disasters
of the heavens never ceased, and the territory continued its path of decline.
The new lord received
no blessings from the heavens, and no power awakened within him.
The citizens lamented
and did not believe in a lord without lordly authority or unique skills.
The Solis baronial
family vanished from history along with its last lord.
***
Huh? Where am I?
After a break in my
consciousness, I woke up again in a strange place.
My body wouldn't move
the way I wanted it to.
My voice... wouldn't
come out properly either.
Or rather, I couldn't
pronounce anything clearly. Just like a baby.
Wait, I am a baby!
Where is this? What is
this place?
It feels like I'm
lying in a cradle.
What in the world
happened to me?
I'm pretty sure my
authority manifested the moment I was executed.
At the very last
moment, when my life was ending, I tried... I finally managed to use the lord's
skill.
『Using space-time magic to its limit, transferring
through space-time to the past.
Information from the
territory appraisal has been compiled into a book, "The History of the
Barony of Solis."
Transferring the
individual's soul and body, along with "The History of the Barony of Solis."』
『Due to the recoil from using the transfer skill to its
limit, after use... space-time magic and the body before transfer will
disappear, and the individual will be replaced with a new vessel.』
『Is it okay to execute? ( YES or NO )
YES has been selected,
commencing space-time transfer.』
That was the voice I
heard last in the flames.
When I glanced beside
me, there was an old, thick book.
The book titled 【The History of the Barony of Solis】 was something I couldn't even open with my current
baby body, but...
It worked!
At the very end,
everyone's prayers gave me strength...
Thank you.
I can see my father,
mother, older brother, and younger sister again!
I can see all those
dear people again!
Tears of joy wouldn't
stop.
I cried out loud.
From the outside, it
probably just looked like a baby wailing.
Before I knew it, my
mother, having noticed my crying, rushed over and picked me up from the cradle.
My mother, who died at
the young age of 35 when I was 16.
Now... she's 19. Yeah,
incredibly young.
It's only natural, but
still.
I was so happy and
nostalgic that I cried again.
"Oh dear,
Takuhir-chan, you must have been hungry. I'm so sorry."
While still holding me
in her arms, my mother began to unbutton her clothes.
This is...
Breastfeeding, isn't
it...
『No way! I mean, that's...』
Even though I look
like a baby, a guy in his fifties getting breastfed by a woman under twenty is
way too embarrassing!
I desperately shook my
still-unsteady head and flailed my arms and legs in resistance...
"Oh dear? Are you
not hungry?"
No, no, it's not about
that...
You'd normally be
bewildered, right!?
That cunningly cute,
troubled look. Even if you make that face...
It just makes it even
more awkward for me.
...In the end, I
couldn't win against my baby instincts.
Wait a minute...
I'm pretty sure I was
a guy in his fifties just now, no, in my previous life, I definitely died at
20.
Why did I think that?
The moment I thought
that, my head went blank, and another set of memories flooded in like a torrent.
A deluge of
overwhelming memories that I couldn't keep up with.
Amidst the overflowing
memories, my consciousness faded again.
Nishida Takahiro, that
was my name.
Takahiro reincarnated
as Takuhir, it feels like a slight conversion error.
I might have had my
Japanese name pronounced like that by a foreigner before.
Right, I was
originally just a regular commoner, someone you could find anywhere.
That's probably why,
even in this world, I was called an eccentric second son who didn't act like a
noble.
※
I was a humble
salaryman.
I had a beloved wife
but no children.
Perhaps it was due to
my personality of always worrying about what others thought and constantly
reading people's faces, but things never went well at work.
I was laid off due to
the ongoing recession, and couldn't find another job. I became withdrawn and
obsessed with reincarnation light novels. A typical middle-aged NEET.
Unpleasant memories I
didn't want to recall resurfaced.
Married for 25 years,
my wife Yuko had supported me.
She had willingly gone
out to work to support the household.
I had caused her so
much hardship.
Those days of relying
on my wife continued, but eventually, my wife collapsed due to overwork and
stress.
Standing before my
wife in a coma, I cried.
I cursed myself. My
utterly useless self!
It was then that I
finally woke up.
Half a month later, my
wife miraculously recovered from her coma.
Still in her hospital
bed, with a gaunt face, she was still worried about me, and I wept
uncontrollably by her side.
From then on, I didn't
choose my jobs. I did anything, even tough manual labor that was hard on
someone in their late forties. I even worked multiple jobs.
Just when my income
had stabilized a little and my wife's usual smile had finally returned, I
collapsed.
Apparently, it was
because I had continued to work myself too hard in my fifties.
Not now!
I wanted to put her at
ease!
My last memory was on
a hospital bed, uttering those regretful words.
When my consciousness
returned again as Takuhir, tears welled up once more.
What happened to my
wife after that?
Thinking about the
future of my wife, who had no children or relatives, filled me with anxiety.
From the outside, he
probably just looked like a baby wailing again.
Once again, my mother
in this world rushed over and gently embraced me.
But I knew.
I knew the sad end
that awaited this family in this world.
A future filled with
tears and sorrow.
Would I have to repeat
that sad and painful experience again?
Absolutely not!
I reaffirmed my
resolve strongly.
I would change the sad
future of the baronial family from the 【previous history】!
I would utilize not
only the knowledge of the previous history but also Nishida's knowledge!
(Even though most of
it was from light novels, the internet, and TV...)
I would change the
future of 【this world】 and rewrite its sad history!
And I would obtain the
lord's power, 【lordly authority】 and 【unique skill】, and then reacquire
the space-time transfer skill.
From the new future, I
would return to the initial past.
I would become Nishida
again and create a new future with my wife Yuko!
My general plan was
set.
There were many things
I couldn't do yet as a baby, but there was still plenty of time ahead, and I
had leeway. More importantly, this time I had the knowledge of history I had
personally experienced and modern knowledge!
Thus, my determination
to walk towards a new future solidified.
