A new Childhood

The Time Forest:The God of Reincarnation:Chapter 2: A new childhood

Without knowing it, I was transported to a different dimension again but this time it was a sudden happening. When I woke up, I was inside a forest. My body had shrunk again just like when me and Yuna first met. My body is that of an 8 years old boy,
「? It's different this time, I can't use my powers. Oi,oi,oi are you telling me that I will spend another 9 years in a different world!?」 I stared at my currently tiny hands and sighed because spending many years in a pointless thing is pretty boring. While I was busy staring my my cute and tiny pale left hand,I heard someone,
「Is someone there?」 It was a small girly voice that was yelling. I immediately answered the voice,
「There is someone here!」 I followed where the voice came from and when I reached the voice, I saw a small girl about the same height as me.She a long black silky hair and a amber colored eyes like mine. She was wearing a white one piece and her hair has a red ribbon ornament tied to her hair,
「Where are you!?」 She yelled back at my voice, and I replied with,
「I am here」 and she immediately turned around to look at me. A smile appeared on her cute face,
「Hello, can you help me for a book that I lost?」 She approached me and asked me a favor without holding back a bit,
「Wait, before I help, what is your name?」 I asked her for her name,
「My name Futami Mei, what's yours?」 She asked for my name too,
「My name is Kurogane Kuroha, nice to meet ya Mei」 I reached out my hand for a hand shake but Mei just stared at my hand with a confused face. After a long time of staring at my hand, Mei grabbed my hand then placed it in her mouth and licked it like it was a candy given to her,
「Why? Just why?」 I asked her while half of my hand still in her hand, then she took it out to respond to me
「Your right hand was full of cuts. Mom said that saliva can cleanse the cut and we can put band aid on it.」 She then took out five cute character band aids and place it on my hand.I didn't even realize that my hand is full of cuts
「Now that my left hand is now patched up, let's find that book of yours」 I looked up at the blue sky and grabbed Mei's hand.

「What does your book look like?」 I asked her about the details of her book,
「It's red, hard cover and it has a title [Higashi Ryuu Academy Magic]. It's a book telling the details of how magic works.」 She responded to me with her eyes shining with excitement,
「I want to go to Higashi Ryuu Academy so I am studying for it」 She talked about herself, and she continued talking,
「I want to invent my own magic like the professional mages do.....」 Her talking went on a really long duration of time and while she was talking, I found the book on the branch of a tree but in my current state I can't reach it. Mei noticed the book too, she drew out a wand with a crystal tip. She pointed the wand at the book and the book fell off the branch slowly towards Mei's hands,
「I found it, I found it!」 Mei jumped up like she won a contest or something. She looked really happy but she immediately frowned,
「What's wrong?」 I asked her what happened to her happy celebration,
「Now that I founf my book, I have to go home. I wanted to play more with Kuro~」 her eyes were starting get watery as she was going to cry but she stopped herself,
「Don't worry, I probably live near here」 I tried to reassure Mei but it seemed like it didn't work. While I was thinking ways to reassure Mei, someone picked me up like how a person carries a baby. the person carried me was Mom,
「Let's go home now Kuroha. Oh my~ aren't you the kid from our neighbour? Do you want to come home with us?」 Yuiko invited Mei to come home with us and Mei happily accepted it.
