Fortunately, Ninaina seemed to either have picked up only the first sentence from my words, or she didn’t care about excuses.
“Yes, of course you should invite me too. When was it? Today?”
“Yes, it is today. After kindergarten.”
“Good. I’m going to tell the escort that I’m going to the Marquisate of Saeron.”
Ninaina nodded her head with a satisfied smile.
Following which, I noticed that as Ninaina turned to her place, a child appeared right after her.
He was, of course, Prince Nicholas.
Nicholas seemed to have already heard all of my conversation with Ninaina.
Briefly and simply, he passed by me and uttered a single word.
“As Ninaina’s older brother, I will accompany her.”
“Ah, yes…”
“Sure.”
And after a while, a familiar face finally appeared.
“Jake! Good morning!”
“Mi-Mir?”
As soon as Jake appeared, I approached him while screaming his name.
I could see that Jake was glad to see me, but he was a little puzzled by my sudden hospitality (?).
“What happened, Mir?”
“Huh? Oh, it’s not a big deal, um… So, there are four of us. Including you, the five of us decided to go to my house to play together. After finishing kindergarten today, will you come too?”
Actually, this was just a polite question.
Even if I didn’t ask, I knew that Jake’s answer was always a yes.
It wasn’t that I was confident without any basis.
It was just that Jake never turned down my invitation.
Never once.
‘Rather, if I don’t invite him like usual, he might be disappointed.’
And my expectations were not at all wrong.
As soon as I finished my words, Jake responded with a smirk.
“Of course I will. Come to think of it, I guess I haven’t been to Mir’s house often these days.”
“Um, come to think of it, right? Then it’s even better.”
Jake responded to my words, but the words that followed soon after were somehow meaningful.
It wasn’t like Jake.
“Right. But Mir.”
“Huh?”
“…You must invite only me next time. Got it?”
“Ah, what can I say again, of course!”
I was worried that he might have made a difficult request.
I promised him and laughed.
If you think about it, it seems that the time spent playing alone with Jake has decreased a lot these days due to me being busy with kindergarten.
There were times when Jake grumbled out loud.
‘If I had known it would be like this, I would have just stopped going to kindergarten.’
‘Huh? What are you talking about?’
‘I should have just played with Mir, just the two of us. We had fun back then.’
Seeing that he was so disappointed, Jake seemed like he was regretting it.
He decided to go to this kindergarten.
‘Okay, Jake. I’m going to make every day more fun than ever before!’
In the end, I had no choice but to make a commitment.
For Jake, and for me.
Let’s turn this kindergarten into a more fun place than playground so that we can spend every day smiling hahaha!

And time went by quickly一
‘Hey, it’s already time for kindergarten to finish!’
It was afternoon.
Oh my God.
‘What did you do to make the time pass so quickly?’
I clenched my head and was frustrated.
In fact, to be honest, I was really hoping that afternoon wouldn’t come soon.
That’s because I wasn’t ready mentally yet.
What kind of mental preparation am I doing? Of course……
‘I didn’t know that I would invite all of them to my house at once!’
It was a vague fear for a situation that has not been calculated.
Yes, to be honest, I’ve been living within my predictions all this time.
Because I have been reincarnated.
I was able to predict to some extent what I experienced, and I could say that living safely within my predictions is my life motto.
Maybe that’s why my head hurts if something beyond my prediction range happens, even if it is miniscule.
‘Oh, I’m going to put all these worries away now. Well, what’s the big deal? It’s all about playing there.’
Does it make sense to say that my head is aching at the age of six years old?
Eventually, I shook my head and got rid of all the worries that were floating around in my head.
But I hadn’t thought of that yet.
It’s too early to say that these children’s games are ‘all there.’
The fact that they are all special children hanging out in the Empire.
‘Hey, let’s go, let’s go. Let’s pack a bag or something.’
For a while I had forgotten.
In any case, the children who had finished kindergarten all got in their own carriages and headed to my house, the Marquisate of Saeron.
I was in the carriage with Alice and Jake.
Why Alice? It’s because I saw that Cedric and Alice were getting tired of going in the same carriage.
So I just proposed to Alice to ride the carriage with me, and she did, but Jake was also coming along…
Well, that’s what happened.
It was no secret that the three of us were riding in the same carriage, and the nanny who came to pick me up rode Cedric’s carriage.
‘Something’s a little off about this atmosphere.’
I sat awkwardly between Jake and Alice in the wagon, sweating and thinking to myself.
These two seemed to be having a battle of invisible power struggle secretly, leaving me alone.
I was upset.
Jake’s arm was linked to my left arm, and Alice’s arm was linked to my right.
‘Aahh, I have just one body!’
