Ascertaining the situation
When I woke up, it looked like I was indoor of a wooden house.
Together with the smell of dense wood, sounds of firewood crackling could be heard. I had apparently survived one way or another.
The stifling pain in my body had also disappeared, and perhaps because the mud in my eyes were gone, I was able to open them.
When I looked at the surroundings, I saw an elderly person with a rich, white long beard, and a similarly white, long hair.
Was he some kind of princ.i.p.al?
Putting my retort aside, the person who helped me was probably this old man. To give my expression of grat.i.tude, I called out.
“Aiauo—”
Again, my tongue didn’t move too well.
I was shocked because all the pain had already gone away, so I wondered if it was because I suffered a disorder. The old man heard my voice and came over.
“☆◎○▽◇□※▽△”
As expected, I still couldn’t understand the spoken words.
Looking at me and blinking with surprise, the elderly man smiled at me tenderly and brought a bowl of soup to feed me.
With wide-eyes, I stared at his hand moving to feed me; it was indeed embarra.s.sing to be fed.
At the bottom of my sight, I saw a hand of a child. I tried to move it, and it was no doubt my own hand. Once again, I saw the old man tilting his head with a puzzled expression.
‘This old man, doesn’t he look too big?’
Then, the old man looked at me with a worried expression on his face, held up a spoonful of soup to my mouth, and I drank it.
The old man’s worried expression turned into tenderness as I drank all the soup in the bowl. When I finished everything, he stroked my head.
Once my stomach was full, I soon became sleepy and immediately fell asleep.
With that, my consciousness faded away.
‘As I thought, the old man is too big.’
He really was.
The next day, when I woke up, I tried to verify the surroundings once more.
I had apparently turned into a baby.
No, no! Just how the h.e.l.l did I turn into a baby?! But nevertheless, this seemed to be reality.

Sleeping and awakening twice, it seemed this is definitely not a dream. Then, a.s.suming this is reality, how the h.e.l.l did I turn into a baby? While thinking so, the answer arrived quickly and unexpectedly.
