Chapter 11.1. My Kindergarten Days Are Over

I, fully awakened as a mob, am now a Priestess I. I’m still weak, but I still have my chance. I would have preferred another job, but it doesn’t matter because I can change my job in [My Home].

I went from struggling to death to gaining strength through a struggle that would not have required me to die. Either way, though, it still takes effort.

But since I almost died, I already went through the dying hardship. I guess I have cleared the conditions. But I don’t know what conditions I have cleared.

Now I’m finally out of the hospital and in a coffee shop. The sofa is high, so I’m swinging my legs and waiting to get thanked for saving Yamiyo.

I was a pretty little girl with gray hair and ice-blue eyes. So much so that people passing by would look at me smilingly.

Now I’m waiting for my super jumbo parfait. My body is a little girl. I get caught up in enjoying sweet things. I liked sweets in my previous life, too.

The coffee shop is decorated in a chic style, with several kinds of coffee beans on the shelves, and the good smell of roasted beans tickles my nose. The clientele didn’t look like a bunch of grandmas, but elegantly dressed people reading English newspapers and enjoying their coffee.

In my previous life, I could never tell the difference between coffee beans, I thought as I looked around. But I noticed something more than that. This coffee shop is strange.

It is an upscale coffee shop in a residential area. It does not seem to be very profitable. The coffee shop has a low turnover rate, and because of the long queue of customers, their profits are low. But still, they would be in trouble if they didn’t have customers. Even the grandmas would have to go into the coffee shop to make a profit, which is a small number of customers. Am I the only one who feels uncomfortable?

I wonder how this store is run. The prices are high for a hobby. One cup costs 1,200 yen. It’s a price that ordinary ladies would be hesitant to pay. No wonder the shop will be closed in less than half a year.

The master of this coffee shop is an old man with dandy gray hair. To be honest, he looks suspicious. Is it because I think he is in a novel world? I suspect that he is an informant of some agency.

Or a coffee shop that is for the main character. See, how often do you see that? A chic-looking coffee shop. The hero and the heroines visit there often. That is the coffee shop in the background. I might add that the master plays the role of a reluctant adviser to the hero.

What contributes to the sense of discomfort is the super jumbo parfait. It is a menu item that does not fit in this coffee shop. The fact that it is 3,000 yen also makes it easy to handle as a small item. Wouldn’t it be possible for the heroines forced the hero to buy them a drink?

I’ve only read The Night of Magic up to volume 10. The game had a weapon shop, a tool shop, a restaurant, etc., but that kind of stuff is not supposed to be memorable. The final volume, volume 25, is all battle scenes with demons and enemy bosses who resurrect demons, and there is not a shred of daily life in it.

When volume 10 was released, it was more than 15 years ago, counting from when I died in my previous life. If I add my current age, it was more than 21 years ago. My memory has very little detailed content from that long ago. All I have is the erotic armament of a female character with a lot of exposure and the character’s face. I don’t even remember their names.

Usually, I don’t. I remember the story now, but it’s unclear if my memory even remains until my school life when the main character appears. Well, I manage to remember the main plot. I think that’s normal.

There are lives at stake, though, and I’m sure I won’t forget the game’s specifications. I can press a button, and the status board appears right in front of me.

Just in case, I’ll leave the story and game strategy information in a code that only I can understand. If I write the title as “Final Dragon Reincarnation,” no one will think I am talking about this world. If they do, they are perverts or gods. Even a genius can’t come up with that.

“Mii-Sama, I can’t wait for you to come. I’m looking forward to it!”

“Yeah! I’m looking forward to it, Yamiyo-chan. I can’t wait for the parfait to come.”

I’ve got reincarnated as a girl. So I’m playing the quiet girl, so my parents don’t worry about me.

With my ice-blue eyes sparkling, I glance at the master. I can see him making a parfait instead of coffee, but my body feels restless.

“Hmmm, I wonder if Mii-chan can’t wait?”

“Yes! Because it’s this big!”

I spread out my hand and raised my voice full of anticipation. The surrounding customers were looking at the little girl with a smile.

Acting is also difficult. Yes, it’s my act. I wonder if I will come soon.

The picture on the menu list shows a beautiful parfait bowl with lots of fruits, whipped cream, and ice cream. I’d expect more if I didn’t have to pay, right?

The people who came to eat the parfait were me, Yamiyo, her mother, and Yamiyo’s maid. Yamiyo’s sitting next to me, and her mother and maid are sitting opposite me.

Ouga was too busy to come. Well, anything is fine as long as he buys me a drink. I was surprised to see a maid, a scary-looking woman of about 30 years old, who also works as a guard. She seems to be a magician who also works as a bodyguard.

In this world, there are usually maids who work for nobles. To be honest, it’s amazing. It’s indeed its world of novels. More to the point, maids are usually young and cute, but it seems except maids around the main characters, people choose maids who are skilled and experienced as if they conform to reality. Then again, there’s usually no such thing as a girl.

“So, …… Mii-Sama, I’m officially going to practice magic. Would you like to practice with me?”

Yamiyo comes looking at me with her fidgety fingers intertwined. Her sparkling black diamond-like eyes reflected my appearance. The fact that the pigtails swayed made me want to touch them a little was proof I have a younger mind because of my body.

But practice magic? Hmmm, I want to increase my proficiency. I awaken my [Mana] or deciding on a job, I can use magic. That’s a game specification, so I need to make an effort and learn magic.

But I want to learn the game’s magic first. I’m curious, though. It’s a system where if you increase your job proficiency, you’ll learn more magics. But how do I learn magic, you ask?

“How do you practice magic, Yamiyo-chan?”

“The Teijo family specializes in the non-attribute and the dark attribute. That’s why I secretly learned them from the maids. I can only use two of them yet.”

“I see. That’s great!”

She smiles smugly, but two things are that dark sword and dark arrow right? That’s the magic that almost killed me, right? Why does the maid teach her such dangerous magic? Teach her a little more mature magic. How can you teach that kind of magic to a six-year-old child? I thought I’ll die.
