Chapter 1: Santa-san stole something outrageous
Chapter 1: Santa-san stole something outrageous
Santa-san appeared in my dreams so I wished to him 「I want to become a beautiful girl, be spoiled, and live life on easy mode!」. It’s not like I’m a pervert but anybody would have that kind of wish. You do too, right? Please say you do.
That’s why, when I woke up, I became a girl. Even I, myself, think it’s too sudden.
◆
In this world, my name is Kurone Koyoi. I’m a naive and innocent four year old.
When I reincarnated at first, I was averse to the TS reincarnation situation but as expected, I’ve come to accept it after four years. That’s why, I’m able to play with girls with a cute stuffed toy in my hand. I don’t have any particular struggles against the gender or age gap as commonly seen in other works.
That’s right, with a heart like a stream of water, I was able to accept everything and avoid it. In reality–
「Koyoi-chan, Usa-chan won’t fight with Rider-san」
「Nn, it’s fine. The bunny will win in the end」
「There’s nothing fine with that–」
What!? Weren’t dolls supposed to fight against each other when you play house!?
As I played according to my thoughts, the friends around me gradually decreased one by one.
It seems like the problem is that Rider was unable to win in the duel between the rabbit doll and Rider. I didn’t know though.
But it’s only house so it’s not like it matters who wins!
I experienced that kind of childhood and quickly entered elementary school. And then, without trouble or anything special, I graduated.
Now, there’s a problem here.
I wished 「I want to become a beautiful girl, be spoiled, and live life on easy mode!」and reincarnated. However, let alone being spoiled, I’m currently living a zero-friend loner lifestyle.
Why did it turn out like this. Why did it turn out like this!?
I thought if it was my second round at life, I would have a cheat and become unparalleled.
For example, I would capitalize on my second round at life and debut as a child actor, or perhaps master every traditional performing arts.
But what about reality?
Without accomplishing anything, I lived everyday leisurely. Having said that, it means that I have no special skill or that I wasn’t born with a talent. Let alone 100 friends, it’s doubtful whether I could even have one.
With middle school before me, I realized. I’ve completely realized.
Could it be that I’ll only waste my time and live this life pointlessly?
I can’t live my life like this. It’s too dreadful.
I’m, going to make a middle school debut and live my life being spoiled……!
With that determination, the next three years…ended!
「The entrance ceremony is tomorrow」
Third year in middle school. I didn’t accomplish anything. While I was being determined for the middle school debut, I held the expectation everyday that something would happen for sure someday. With those hopes in my chest, I reached high school.
That’s right, only my readiness was adult-like.
In order to live a fulfilling life and avoid the crisis I sensed, I sought to change. However, I did nothing as the days went by.
People always complain in their mind but when it comes down to it, they do nothing and let their irritation worsen wonderfully.
Even if I reincarnated and lived a convenient life, no matter where, the system and nature of the world stays cruel and ruthless.
With that, I entered high school!
◆
「My name is, Kurone Koyoi. Umm, my hobby is reading, I am good at……there is nothing I am particularly good at. I look forward to working with you……」
This woman won’t learn.
She’s so thoroughly stupid that she won’t learn.
In spite of being able to complain and think inside my head, when I open my mouth, my voice won’t come out. And my talk power is nonexistent.
I’m a hopeless, komyushou1 ……!
Even if I redo it, it’ll no longer be a high school debut.
From my surroundings, there was sparse and lifeless clapping. My stomach hurts.
「Well then it’s my turn. My name is Kobayashi Haruto. I did soccer in middle school. My favorite things are hanging out with friends and karaoke, I guess. There are few people from my middle school who came to this high school. That’s why I want to make lots of friends. You are free to ask for my Line. Nice to meet you」
「Haruto-kun, let’s exchange contacts–」「Eeh–me too!」「Let’s go look at the soccer club next time!」
Tsu, tsueeeeee2.
Kobayashi-kun, who is sitting behind me, is too much of a komyukyou3 , it’s dazzling.
My self-introduction isn’t even comparable to an opening performance. I feel like I’ve been shown what it’s really like to be at the top of the social caste.
I don’t want to be thought of as the same as the noisy girls going “Kyaa! Kyaa!” Therefore, I will stubbornly keep my head forward. But I can understand.
That guy, while rustling his silky brown hair and putting on the mask of a sweet smile, has already established his position at the top of the class. On top of that, he waves his hand like he’s some sort of celebrity. I can’t understand the meaning of waving your hand in the classroom. Completely incomprehensible.
While I’m about to be crushed by the heavy pressure and my inferiority complex, the self-introductions went along swimmingly. In the end, the one who made the self introduction with the weakest impression was me. Even I think so.
The teacher gave a quick explanation and dismissed the class for today.
I held my bag which became heavy from the textbooks under my arms.
「Ah, you were Kurone-san, right? We were talking about going to karaoke afterwards with everyone. What do you think?」
The one who called out to me was, Kobayashi-kun.
「Eh, ah, umm」
「Aah, could it be you have an errand to attend to? Sorry for holding you up then」
「No, it’s fine……」
Stuttering while talking to my classmate, having him be considerate of me, and finally a polite “Ok goodbye.”
Isn’t this too miserable?
But I, by no means, should be angry with Kobayashi-kun here.
He’s genuinely worrying about me and when I couldn’t reply, he purposely created an escape path for me.
It’s rare for there to be a komyukyou this strong and perfect. If you had to point out a mistake, it would be that he called out to a small fry komyushou like me.
Well, with this and that, the curtain on my entrance ceremony quickly closed.
Once in a lifetime, twice with reincarnation. Despite my feelings, the entrance ceremony, which heavily influences my future, ended without me being able to do anything.

「I’m home」
Though I say that, there’s no response.
When I come home, I first boot up my computer. While it’s booting up, I finish changing my clothes and then work hard at my daily routine of net surfing.
Without talking at school, I come and type on my computer all day. Haha, what a blissful youth.
I casually skim through the day’s news and can only mutter 「kitakutta4」to my SNS with few followers.
Even if I don’t have friends in real life, I have a lot online! As if there could be such a convenient story. As expected, even online, there’s no one I can call a friend. At most, it would be a shallow relationship in a game in which we exchange a word or two sometimes.
After finishing my routine, I log into my social game for my login bonus and consume my stamina. In my spare time, I casually skim through an aggregator site, look at only the titles, and jump from link to link several times.
While I’m skimming through articles with interesting titles, I found one that caught my attention.
『【Signs of a Trend】The most talked about VTubers are!?』
「Aah, it’s already that period」
I’ve forgotten recently but I am a reincarnator. And this world isn’t like a common isekai or a light novel-like modern world with superpowers, but rather an extremely normal world.
However, it’s not like everything is the exact same. Mixed in with well-known celebrities are unfamiliar ones and conversely, the existence of super influential figures have disappeared. Therefore, I’ve come to understand that this world is a parallel world.
And so, what’s important is what happens from here on out.
It is currently the year of 2017.
And in my previous life, I lived until 2020.
In other words, although my reincarnation was TS reincarnation, it was actually the subgenre『regression TS reincarnation』.
No, I feel like if it’s regression, then I would be able to conduct myself better with future knowledge. Even now, I want to retort about it when I read web novels too. But you know, this is only a similar parallel world. Even though there is Rider5, his squadron isn’t there and even though there is FF6, there is no DQ7. Furthermore, Nobunaga is called Nobuhime in this world.
In a world like that, I can’t go TUEEEE8!! with my future knowledge or something. I’ve already graduated from those thoughts around four years old.
──Now let’s return to the main subject.
Speaking of 2017, for otakus, it’s the unforgettable dawning of the Vtuber era.
The obscure Vtubers will be popularized with an explosive momentum by taking advantage of a certain end of year incident.
And even in this world, Vtubers exist without any problem.
However, the figure of the girl said to be the top of Vtubers isn’t there. Instead, there is a substitute Vtuber that is still fighting at the forefront.
Even if the end of year incident didn’t happen, according to my experience, history will follow a similar path. Therefore, I think Vtubers will probably become popular in one fell swoop.
I wonder if I should make an investment and make preparations to get some long-time fans.
Well, there’s still four months so it’s probably fine if I leave it alone for a while.
While thinking that, I continued scanning over another aggregator site.
Komyushou - someone who sucks at communicating
Tsuee - slang for strong
Komyukyou - the opposite of komyushou
Honestly no idea what kitakutta means
