Just Another Reincarnation

MC POV:
Tenku Plateau is a big meadow located on the city's outskirts, and it's also a popular tourist spot due to its calming nature and beautiful views.
Thanks to it being located not that far from Raku's house, it's also a place we frequently use to play whenever we come to visit him.
Well, if not for the people constantly following Raku, we wouldn't be able to go around the city so freely. After all, we are still a bunch of five-year-olds.
Today was one of such days.
The giant stones spread around the Tenku Plateau make it a perfect place to play tag and hide-n-seek, as some create labyrinthine structures while others are more spread out. That, accompanied by far more scarce trees and shrubbery, makes it hard to get bored of that place, even for me.
As a child, I loved constructing 'bases' and 'forts'. I did it inside the house, in my backyard, or close to the forest. Sadly, by the time I could do something decent, I was too old to play like that, but now I can do it again.
Time to make the best hideout in history!!!
I was brought back from my reverie by the quickly approaching presence. Rito did his best to move fast yet quietly, but even if I was blind and deaf, detecting him would be easy.
Not wanting to waste his efforts completely, I started moving towards Saruyama while leaving some hints behind.
Despite my protests, he still keeps calling me boss as if we were a part of a gang or something similar. What makes it even worse is that he made all the other kids think it's a cool idea, and they can annoy me as a bonus.
There is some fault on my side as well since I am openly taking charge whenever we are in a group and even protecting them from being bullied by older children, but that doesn't mean I want them to call me that.
This is just one of many acts of revenge waiting for you!
"Got you!" Rito exclaimed, jumping on an unsuspecting Saruyama.
"How?! I hid so well this time!!" he exclaimed.
"That's a secret! You are the first one, hahaha!" he laughed, aware that it was my doing.
He was a bit envious of me since, from his perspective, I do nothing but sleep all day, and yet I am faster and more intelligent, but due to his innate kindness, it did not develop further.
I also tried my best to be a good brother once he became two years old and we could interact, so while he was envious, he held quite a bit of respect for me.
After selling Saruyana, I returned to my previous location and waited until Rito managed to find everyone else.
"One person left!" Rito shouted, making sure I will be able to hear him.
Since it would be boring if only the seeker could win, or if the game lasted hours because he couldn't find anyone, we decided on some additional rules. First, the game would always last 20 minutes at most. If someone could stay hidden until then, it would be their win. Second, if only one person is left, the seeker has to announce it and find them within 5 minutes or until time runs out.
After waiting precisely five minutes, I left my hiding spot and went towards the gathering place.
There I found Rito, Saruyama, Raku, Shu, Kosaki, Yui already waiting for me.
"I won again," I announced with a smug.
"You cheated! I am sure you did!" Saruyama exclaimed in protest.
"Prove it, and I will gladly take the loss," I said, shrugging my shoulders and causing him to grit his teeth.
Sometimes, other kids would tag along, but these six made up the group I interacted with the most as of late. It was a rather curious group, as all of them were different.
Rito is cheerful and kind, but he isn't the brightest tool in the shed. He is quite athletic for his age, giving him an edge in sports and games, but when it came to everything else, he is clumsy, to say the least. He has golden brown eyes and orange-brown spiky hair, which makes him stand out quite a bit.
Saruyama is very playful. He uses every occasion to joke around. He isn't a genius, but calling him dumb would be wrong. To put it simply, other than his black spiky hair, which mostly pointed to the back, he is a normal boy.
Raku, similarly to Rito, is a very kind kid. He is usually full of energy, but when he deals with new kids, he can be very awkward. It isn't surprising since, until recently, only Shu Maiko wanted to play with him, unaffected by Raku's relation to Yakuza.
Talking about Shu. That boy is far more mature than he ought to be. He acts like an idiot and jokes around like Saruyama, but he is far smarter than him. As far as I can tell, he goes with a happy-go-lucky cover just to hide how smart he truly is. He has short to medium, messy, dirty blonde hair and wears circular glasses. He has golden brown eyes like Rito and slightly tanned skin, similar to Raku's.
As for the girls, Kosaki Onodera is a very recent addition, and she is already developing a crash on Raku, not one-sidedly. She can be described as a bit timid, kind and innocent. She has shoulder-length dark-brown hair with one long strand of hair kept combed neatly to the left side of her face and chocolate brown eyes.
The last person, Yui Kanakura is the daughter of a Chinese mafia boss, one of Raku's father's friends, that came here for vacation. She is the oldest among us, at least physically, as she is two years older than Raku and one year older than me. She is an optimist and, similar to Shu, acts easygoing despite being remarkably intelligent. She has medium-length, silky dark hair with a pinkish-violet tinge and several braids. Her eyes are the same color as her hair, and she wears a flowered crown. If I wasn't around, I am sure she would take charge of the group as the 'onee-san'.
"So? Are we continuing, or should we call it a day?" I asked.
"I have enough for today. It's not fun since you always win!" Saruyama replied.
"Sorry, but I have to go as well. Saruyama and I already promised to play soccer with others." Rito said with an apologetic and awkward smile while slightly scratching the side of his face.
"Don't worry. We know how much you love to play soccer." Raku commented, trying to show he doesn't need to apologize.
"You don't have the right to complain anyway, Raku. I still remember how you completely forgot about us because of a cooking show." I said, giving him a teasing smile.
"Jeez! That was only once! When are you going to forget it?!" Raku exclaimed in embarrassment, eliciting a laugh from everyone.
"Never. You know how good my memory is." I said while slightly puffing out my chest.
"Yeah, yeah. We all know how much of a cheat you are..." Saruyama grumbled and left together with Rito.
"I also have to go. See you tomorrow Raku, everyone..." Kosaki Onodera said sheepishly and run off with a slightly red face.
"I have enough for today as well, see ya!" said Shu shortly after Kosaki left, leaving me, Raku, and Yui.
Raku looked at me and proposed, "Do you want to come to my house? We can play some games on my console."
"Sure, it's been a while," I replied.
"Time for a race! The last person there eats a chili pepper!!" he exclaimed and started running us as he could.
Not minding his antics, I looked at Yui with a wry smile and asked, "Do you want me to carry you?"
Despite being a year younger than Rito, and nearly two years younger than me, Raku already started to show that some of his more impressive feats in the anime weren't just a matter of anime logic but his physical strength.
I am faster, but he is the only kid that can somehow keep up with Rito, whose running speed saved him many times in the original series. The three of us are the nightmare of anyone being IT while playing tag.
"Sure, I want to see his face once he realizes he will have to eat the chili pepper himself," she said and giggled.
"Ok," I said and scooped her up in a princess carry, eliciting a surprised yelp.
"I thought you would carry me on your back..." she muttered, slightly embarrassed.
"That's your fault. Hold on tight, I have no safety belts." I replied with a slight shrug and took off like a rocket, soon overtaking Raku and leaving him far behind.

MC POV:
A week ago, after Raku finally caught up to me and Yui, he tried to avoid eating the chili pepper by saying that the race didn't count since Yui didn't run on her own.
Unfortunately for him, none of us were having it. We reminded him that there was no rule saying one person can't carry another, and he was the one that decided on the punishment.
In the end, he ate the pepper, and after several minutes of 'suffering'
he was ready to play some video games with me, while Yui went back to her father, as she wasn't interested in them.
Today, was nearly the same. Everyone else went home or decided to play with other kids, resulting in me and Raku playing games alone.
"Young master, your father is calling for you," said Ryuu while suddenly opening the door to Raku's room.
He was a tall, muscular man and one of the yakuza serving under Raku's father. He had sanpaku eyes and a scar around his left eye, dark brown hair, and a mustache. His attire consisted of a light purple kimono, exposing his right shoulder and the dragon tattoo on it, with a dark purple belt around his waist. (A/N: Sanpaku eyes are eyes in which either the white space above or below the iris is revealed.)
"Don't call me that!!! It's embarrassing!!!" Raku exclaimed, hearing the embarrassing term.
I feel the same when they call me boss... But they don't care...
"I can't, young master. I have to show proper respect to the future master of the Shuei-Gumi. Your father is waiting for you in the main hall." Ryu said and immediately left the room.
"Can Arthur go with me?" Raku inquired after a moment of silence.
Ryuu looked at me for a moment and said, "That shouldn't be a problem."
"Let's go then, Arthur. It seems that my father wants me to meet someone." Raku said while stopping the game and standing up.
I am pretty sure I know who it is, but let's check it anyway.
"Do you know who it may be?"
"No idea. Probably one of his friends brought their kid." Raku said while placing both hands behind his head and setting off after Ryuu.
"I see," I replied casually.
Raku's house was a big, traditional Japanese mansion surrounded by a green wall, with one big ornately decorated gate, with a big sign above it with their clan's name. Roof tiles, similar to the walls, were green and the whole building appeared to be constructed out of wood.
After walking through the veritable maze of corridors, we arrived in front of the doors leading to the place where Raku's father waited for us. There, sitting at the low table, were three people. On one side was Raku's father, a man in his forties with black, already greying hair and bushy eyebrows in a black kimono with white trims.
On the opposite side was a blond caucasian man and a young girl, based on her hair color, his daughter. Even while sitting, it was possible to discern the fact he was tall. He wore a white suit with a purple tie and shirt underneath, while his blond hair reached his neck. He had dark blond, slightly thick eyebrows, and blue eyes.
The girl was wearing a simple white one-piece dress and a red ribbon on her head, tying her long hair in a loose ponytail in such a way that it resembled rabbit ears.
Well, good luck Raku. She will cause you quite a lot of trouble in the future.
The moment I thought that she turned my way, causing an unnatural shudder to run down my back.
My instinct is telling me I just jinxed myself.
Disregarding the bad premonition, at least for now, I followed Raku in his greeting. "Good afternoon," we said while bowing slightly.
"Oh, you are finally here, Raku? And it seems that your friend is with you as well. Hahaha, that's great. This is my friend Adelt from America, and this is his daughter, Chitoge. Since we want to talk about business and reminisce, could you take Chitoge with you? She seems bored." said Raku's father, a man named Issei Ichijo.
"It seems that your son and his friend are well mannered despite their age. My daughter is much more lively, but it's my fault since I am too lenient, hahaha." Adelt said and laughed.
"Hahaha, thank you but it's not all thanks to me. From what my son told me, it seems that his friend, Arthur, has a good influence on him and the other children. Can you believe it? They are even calling him boss, hahaha." Raku's father replied and laughed.
"By the way, whose son is that? He doesn't look like a half-Japanese. Someone from Europe?" Adelt inquired while scrutinizing me.
"Let's not make them wait any longer. Take Chitoge with you and go play somewhere." Issei Ichijo said as if wanting to get us out of the room.
Did he investigate my origin by any chance? Too bad. There is nothing to find out.
"Ok, dad," Raku replied, and the three of us left the room.
"So your name is Chitoge? Nice to meet you. You can call me Arthur." I said as we slowly meandered the hallways.
"Nn." she nodded. "Nice to meet you," she added.
"I am Raku. So, what do you want to play?" he asked.
"Hmmm, I don't know," she replied after a moment. "Do you know a good place to play?" Chitoge asked.
"How about Tegu Plateau?" I proposed. We already went there today, but I can't think of a better place nearby.
"Yeah, that place should be good," Raku confirmed. "And we can find there more people to play with," he added.
"Let's go then," I said, and the three of us set out for our usual playing spot.
***
"So you are living in a mansion not far from here?" I asked Chitoge once we got to our playing spot.
"Yes! My mom bought it. She is amazing!" she replied cheerfully.
"That's great. If you live this close, we can play often." I said.
"So? What now? I was hoping to find more people to play with here, but it seems everyone went home already." Raku commented.
I looked at Chitoge and said, "Do you mind if we show you around today? I can show you my best hiding spots and the ones you should avoid." I proposed.
"Okey!" she replied cheerfully, but at that moment...
*Ramble*
"Ah!!" Chitoge yelped and squatted down, covering her head in fright.
Soon after, I felt raindrops, one by one, hitting my body until it turned into a downpour.
I quickly put my hand into a small backpack and used it as a cover for my Inventory, from which I pulled out an umbrella and opened it, covering the three of us from the rain.
"Are you alright?" I asked Chitoge while extending my hand since Raku seemed fine.
She looked back at me, her eyes teary and her body trembling.
Being this adorable is against the rules... She looks like a scared rabbit.
"You always have what we need in that backpack of yours. Did you steal it from Doraemon or what?" Raku asked jokingly.
"I just like to be prepared," I replied while shrugging. "This was supposed to be a surprise, but I guess I will show it to the two of you first," I added.
"What do you want to show us at a time like this?" Raku asked. "We need to go home," he added.
"Don't worry. Follow me." I said and started leading the way towards my side project, Raku right behind me, and Chitoge still holding my hand.
Soon, we arrived, and what the two of them saw was a pile of giant rocks covered in vegetation.
I brought them here at night when no one was looking. Then, I stacked them on each other in a way that would create a cave of sorts inside and covered in vegetation. Then I waterproofed the inside, adding a single small pool, and stabilized the whole construction to make it safe for others. I haven't learned earth magic but my control, imagination, and power of will were strong enough to substitute. All I needed was to merge the stones into one and make it denser in certain sections.
"Let's go inside," I said while approaching the pile of stones and revealing an entrance covered in shrubs.
"Since when a place like this is on Tenku Plateau?" Raku asked incredulously.
"Would you believe If I said I made it myself?" I asked jokingly, but Raku seemed to consider my question seriously.
"Yeah. You are strange enough for it to be possible," he replied, scratching his head. "Not like I mind it," he added with a smile.
Then, we entered inside, covering the entrance in shrubs again.
The inside was a spherical room with a radius of around two meters. The ceiling was only 1.5 meters above the ground, but for kids, it was more than enough. The floor was mostly even, with some protuberances big enough to sit on. There was a small pool on the left side of the entrance, where water from the ceiling kept pouring in through a small hole. There were also some window-like openings on the walls, through which it was possible to see bushes and other plants hiding them from the outside.
"Wow!" Raku exclaimed. "This place is amazing!" he added.
"Yeah. I wanted to make it our secret hideout. Only for the closest friends." I explained, then turned towards Chitoge and said with a big smile, "Which means now you have to become one of our close friends."
She blushed so hard that her face nearly matched her ribbon, then she lowered her gaze and nodded without saying anything.
We stayed there until it stopped raining, and then everyone returned home.

MC POV:
After calming down, Latifa decided to help me find my mom and brother.
I wonder if these two air-heads even realized that I was gone?
"Once again, thank you. I am still not feeling that well, so I will call my uncle to help you." Latifa said and smiled gently at me as she pushed some kind of button on a nearby table.
"Don't mind it Latifa-onechan! If you want to, I can come here at least once a year to hug you and share my happiness!!" I said with a happy smile, trying to sound innocent.
"I would be happy if you do," she said as her smile became more prominent.
"Consider that a promise! I am sure that in the next few years, I will be able to lift that curse of yours!" I exclaimed yet again.
Though, having to pay every time I want to meet with her may be inconvenient. Hmmm, I have an idea.
"I am certain of that." she nodded.
"Ah!" I exclaimed as if a sudden realization dawned on me. "Could you prepare a special ticket for me?" I asked, trying to perform my best puppy eyes. "It would allow me to enter this park as often as I want to. I don't want to ask my parents for money whenever I want to see you." I explained with a 'troubled' expression.
"Hmmm, this may be a good idea. I will do something about it." Latifa replied.
"Thank you Latifa-oneechan!" I exclaimed while hugging her, receiving a blush as a response.
At that moment, another person entered the room. He looked like a brown mouse with a green hat, red ribbon, and big light brown eyes.
Oh, right, that Bonta-Kun rip-off is her uncle. (A/N: Bonta-Kun is a character from the series Full Metal Panic and they look pretty much the same)
"You called me, fumo? Eh?! What is this kid doing here, fumo?" Moffle, her uncle, questioned.
"It's good to see you, uncle Moffle. That is Arthur. He helped me with the curse and prevented the memory loss." Latifa explained with a big smile plastered across her face.
"Really, fumo!?!" Moffle asked in disbelief, but his voice was full of hope.
"Yes. Could you please help him find his family? It seems he got lost before coming here." Latifa confirmed and asked.
"Ok, fumo." Moffle nodded while crossing his hands.
"Latifa-oneechan, if your uncle was there, why were you alone at such a time? Isn't it better to stay with your family at such times?" I asked with an 'innocent' and 'confused' expression.
I don't understand how could he leave her alone at such a time. This makes me a bit pissed off.
"It's not my uncle's fault!" she exclaimed, trying to justify her uncle's actions. "I... just wanted to stay alone... I didn't want to make him feel bad because of seeing me in that situation..." she said while lowering her gaze.
Great! Now I am the asshole! I shouldn't have asked about that.
"I am sorry for asking... Please cheer up." I said with 'teary' eyes.
"What an insensitive brat, fumo," Moffle commented.
"I don't want to hear that from a Bonta-kun rip-off," I said while directing a cheeky grin at him and using a trick to prevent Latifa from hearing it.
What will you do? I am just a kid. You can't hit me.
"Fumo!?! You little cheeky...!" Moffle exclaimed while clenching his fists as if he wanted to strangle me.
"Uncle, why do you shout at him like that? If you do it again, I will never talk to you again!" she asked and threatened with a pout. "Please, just take him to his family already," Latifa added.
After that, we went to the office for the park's staff members, from which we informed my mother about my location using the speakers spread around the park. They arrived after a few minutes, and as I thought, up until they heard the announcement, they were unaware of my disappearance.
Seriously, how can an adult be so irresponsible?
After that they gave me a special ticket, telling my mother it was a special prize and we returned home together.
***
In the days following my meeting with Latifa, I started learning about curses, how to make and remove them, and healing techniques. Other than that and focusing more on training my innate not much changed.
A month passed since then, and thanks to the ticket, I visited her each week. I have to say that her croquettes are amazing. At this rate, I may fall for her, and the simple fact of how cute she is doesn't help it.
The new function I unlocked was a bit of a disappointment. As of now, there aren't any quests that would catch my interest. There is also a list for hidden quests, but it's mostly filled with question marks, as the name and details appear only once it's finished.
Today my father decided to take us to the park, but it's the regular one. As such, he had no problems putting Mikan in a stroller and taking her with us.
While I would prefer to do something more productive than play around with kids, unless I want to become an outcast, I have no other choice.
They are the generation I will have the most contact with, so while I play with them, I may as well become their 'leader'. There always was that one kid that others would follow and listen to, which is exactly what I want to achieve. I decided to do this around a year ago, so at this point, I already got what I wanted.
It wasn't that hard. I am more athletic than other kids due to The Orb's influence and have memories of my past life, which is why I know many games we can play and usually know answers to their questions, basically an elder brother role.
How The Orb influences my childish form is a bit special.

My speed and strength are restricted unless I ask Selen to unlock them. It's an anti-measure against me harming others unconsciously, as the difference in size from what I am used to makes it a bit tricky to control my full abilities.
After playing with other kids for a bit, I realized something.
Right now, there is one kid with messy, black hair and lightly tanned skin that others avoid without any real reason. There doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary about him. I have never seen him here up until now, but I am not staying here the whole time.
"Hey! Saruyama, come over here for a second!" I called out to one of the boys.
"What's wrong, boss?" Saruyama asked after getting closer.
"...I told you not to call me like that... We aren't a gang or anything similar." I commented.
"Hahaha, I know. I just like to tease you like that. Everyone else does as well, hahaha." Saruyama replied, laughing his ass off.
I will do something about that cheeky grin of yours later.
"Who is that kid? Why no one wants to play with him?" I asked, pointing at the boy.
He gives me early Naruto flashbacks.
"Hahaha, see? You are already acting like a boss, hahaha." Saruyama commented and burst out laughing again.
"Ugh... Just answer me, please." I said, feeling tired from this conversation.
"No idea. My parents told me not to play with him. Others are probably the same." Saruyama shrugged.
"But why?" I asked further.
"They said something about his parents being bad people or something like that?" Saruyama replied, scratching his head.
"Sigh... Thanks anyway. I owe you one." I said and directed my steps towards the lone boy.
"No problem boss, hahaha." Saruyama said and, under my wrathful gaze, ran away.
I will strangle him one day.
"Hey, I am Arthur. What's your name?" I asked the kid after getting close enough.
"I am Raku Ichijō." he replied, visibly surprised at someone approaching him.
Seriously? Even Nisekoi is a part of this world? Wait, wait, wait! I still have to make sure, right? It may be just a coincidence.
"Perhaps, your father is a yakuza...?" I asked, trying to confirm my suspicions.
"Eh!? How did you know?" Raku exclaimed in surprise.
Welp, it's him.
"*Sigh* Just a guess. Do you want to play with us?" I proposed.
"Really?! But, I don't think others want to play with me..." he said, visibly distraught.
Being a son of yakuza is hard, isn't it? These two scary-looking guys looking after you from afar are also a problem.
They hid well, but after all this training, it was easy to detect their intent being put on me and track it back.
"Don't get so pessimistic. They won't refuse if I ask them, hahaha." I smiled brightly and started laughing.
If you guys want to call me a boss, I may as well act like one. Maybe this will change your mind.
After that, I took him to the other kids, and while they were reluctant at first, they quickly changed their minds and forgot what their parents told them. That's what happens when children start playing. They forget about everything.
***
"Arthur, Rito, I don't think you should play with that kid. From what I heard, his father is a bad person, so it's dangerous for you two." our father said on the way home.
"Eh?! But why!? He is our friend!" Rito protested.
"Dad, I don't think we should ignore him just because his father is a yakuza. He's a kid like me and Rito. He just wants to play and have friends." I protested.
My parents are used to how mature I am. They just attributed it to a high level of intelligence.
On the other hand, I act a lot more childish around Latifa since that makes me look cute, and she spoils me.
"*Sigh* I know this too, but still... I am just worried about you two." Saibai replied while holding one of his hands on his forehead as if fighting a headache, realizing he can't change my mind.
"Dad, how would you feel if I was in his position?" I asked, pulling the guilt card on him.
"Ok, ok, I get it. Just make sure that while you play nothing happens to him. Children can get hurt easily, and if he gets hurt, it may become big trouble." Saibai said in defeat.
"Don't worry, I will manage it somehow, hahaha," I replied showing a confident smile.
From that day, we played more and more with Raku. He quickly became friends with us and started coming over to our house, and as could be expected, other kids we usually played with soon warmed up to him as well.
I guess the only ones unhappy about it are the parents but it's not my problem.

Chapter 10: Hide-n-seek
