After eating breakfast, I went back to my room and lay down on my bed.

Of course, I was not the only one, but my family had gotten younger.

Young parents and an older sister in elementary school.

At best, it was fresh, at worst, it was strange.

But surprisingly, everyone's personality remained the same even though they were of different ages.

My sister has been particularly unruly since those days.

I wish she had changed in this aspect.

Well, I guess I don't need to think too much about my family right now.

What matters now is not my family but myself.

Somehow, I've traveled back in time with my memories to the age of 28.

Could there be a more dire situation than this? No, there is not.

After all, I've been caught up in an unrealistic event called time travel.

I have no idea what to do from now on.

The only thing I could think of right now was the ulterior motive that I could legally enter a women's bath with this body.

I can't do that because I feel guilty about the quirk.

I'm an adult with reason and common sense.

It's like a beast to think of something and then immediately act on it.

It's... but I'm not sure if I'd even consider it if I had the chance.

I'm not interested in anything to do with women's bathrooms!

No, as a man, I care, but... I don't care right now!

What matters more is the future policy.

I'm not from a smart school either, so I don't know how the secondary disasters caused by time regression, such as the butterfly effect and time paradox, will affect me with my memories of the future.

(I'll break down the butterfly effect and time paradox into small pieces and explain.

The Butterfly Effect... is a thing where a small change turns into a big change afterward. It's like when someone goes to the past, kicks a rock, and then returns to the future to find the earth has been destroyed.

Time Paradox... A contradiction that occurs when you go to the past.

If you kill your parents in the future, you will not be able to exist because your parents died before you were born, and then you will not be able to kill your parents.

If you still can't figure it out after hearing this explanation, Google it♪)

If I'm not careful, my every move could lead to the end of the world...!

No, I'm overthinking things.

A mere ordinary schoolboy can't put the fate of the world at stake, no matter how much you try.

I wish fantasy could be limited to one time travel.

If that's the case, let's make a policy that fantasy is based on this time travel only.

It may be a bit too much wishful thinking, but I can't help it.

If more fantasies come, I won't be able to cope with them.

Then, the first thing that would become a problem in the eyes of the people around me.

I'm currently in a state where my outside and inside don't match up: I look like a first grader, but I'm 28.

As such, there will be a considerable difference between the words and actions of the 28-year-old me and those of the average first grader.

I'm not adept enough to play the role of a mere first grader, so I'm sure that even if I'm paying attention, I'll soon get ripped apart.

If it was my parents, who were surprisingly dull, or my friends, they would be suspicious.

I don't have any friends, by the way.

"... I wonder why. I'm crying all of a sudden."

The self-sabotage caused damage to my own heart.

Well, there's a good chance that teachers and adults will be suspicious of me, even if they're not my friends, and I'll have to deal with that.

As much as possible, I'll continue to live my life according to my actual past―――

Am I sure I want to do that?

This question suddenly occurred to me.

If I continue to live my life as I saw it in the past again, I'll be living in poverty.

Do I want to go back to that life?

Absolutely not.

I hated that life, I hated the loneliness, I hated the part-time job, I hated the poor life, I couldn't stand it.

I hated that life and struggled to get out of it.

But it was no use.

So, I gave up and settled for that life.

But in a corner of my mind, there was a desire to change this life.

I wanted to change this life.

I regretted it many times.

I wished that I had studied harder, made more friends, and had a better past.

So I really wanted to redo my past.

"You can start over... me."

Yes... That's right...!

I can start over! Now!

This may be a bizarre event, but it's not an unfortunate one.

In fact, it's a great opportunity!

The turning point in my life is happening right now, at this very moment!

If that's the case, there's no need for me to decide what to do now.

After all, I already have a plan.

I run to my study desk and take out three blank sheets of paper and a pen.

I had already decided a long time ago.

I've always wished that if I could start my life over again, this is what I would do.

I wrote two large words on each blank sheet of paper, making a total of six words in the policy.

The motto: "Don't dream."

I didn't think that the lessons I've learned in my 28 years of life would come into play in my second life.

Yes, in my second life, I will not dream.

I want to get my feet on the ground, get into a decent high school, graduate from a decent university, get a decent job, and have friends and a family.

To achieve this, I have to study hard and interact with people.

To live a decent life, I need to have a decent career.

Put the three pieces of paper in order and tape them to the wall with cellophane tape.

My second goal in life, that's...

【 To live a solid life 】
