Higashimatsuyama Yone chuckled and blinked, looking particularly playful.
"It's alright, I'm already very grateful that you can take me there."
As they spoke, led by Higashimatsuyama Yone, a warm and lovely building appeared before Kobayashi Itsuki's eyes.
"This is it, Futaba Kindergarten."
Looking at the familiar name of the Kindergarten before him, Kobayashi Itsuki felt a sense of emotion in his heart.
'That really is a familiar name. Too bad, if only this were the world of crayon shin-chan...'
As he was thinking this, suddenly a voice that sounded a bit simple-minded and perhaps not very bright rang out.
"My name is Nohara Shinnosuke, I'm 5 years old! Hey, pretty Police Miss, do you like eating green peppers?"
Kobayashi Itsuki: ????
These familiar words, this familiar tone.
It was as if the speaker had cast some magical spell, causing Kobayashi Itsuki's gaze to uncontrollably drift towards the railing beside the main gate.
There, he saw a small figure leaning against the railing, striking a cool pose, and talking to Higashimatsuyama Yone, who was standing beside him.
"Oh, what a cute little boy."
Higashimatsuyama Yone saw the cute child with the potato-shaped head and chubby cheeks, and a smile blossomed on her face as she crouched down and said with a laugh.
"My name is Higashimatsuyama Yone, and I like eating green peppers too. Little boy, you shouldn't be a picky eater~"
Higashimatsuyama Yone did not dismiss him just because he was a child; instead, she answered him seriously with a beaming smile.
"That's truly regrettable, Police Miss. It seems we aren't quite compatible..."
Hearing that Higashimatsuyama Yone liked green peppers, the potato brat immediately looked distressed, striking the pose of a tragic male lead separating from his heroine, and waved his hand, ready to bid her farewell.
Kobayashi Itsuki stood silently by the side, watching the small figure run away. Higashimatsuyama Yone stood up and smiled at Kobayashi Itsuki.
"Children really are cute, aren't they?"
Hearing Higashimatsuyama Yone's words, Kobayashi Itsuki looked at her with a complicated expression.
Well, he had been wondering earlier what felt wrong, and why Higashimatsuyama Yone's name sounded so familiar.
He had originally thought she was some other anime character, but looking now, that was clearly not the case.
Kobayashi Itsuki looked at the Futaba Kindergarten in front of him, and the potato brat who ran into the restroom, finished peeing, and then pattered back to the classroom.
Everything became clear.
This was the world of crayon shin-chan.
Calculating the time, crayon shin-chan was born in 1987. Since he is five years old and attending Kindergarten this year, it must be 1992, the time of the Bubble Economy.
This is also why, in the original work of crayon shin-chan, Nohara Hiroshi often talks about his mortgage.
In this era, having a stable job was already quite remarkable.
Yet Nohara Hiroshi not only had a stable job, but his income was also not low.
He even changed cars several times.
He could practically be called an elite among ordinary people!
And the Policewoman standing beside him now, who helped him yesterday, was also no ordinary person.
She was the Criminal Police Officer whose marksmanship was terrible in the theatrical version, Pursuit of the Balls of Darkness.
In the original work, no matter how much she shot, she almost always missed, which was incredibly ridiculous.
However, judging by the present, she clearly hasn't become a Criminal Police Officer yet, and is currently just a newly recruited rookie.
"Miss Higashimatsu, who was just talking to the child, is also very cute."
Kobayashi Itsuki sighed internally at the shock the recent discovery brought him, and said to Higashimatsuyama Yone.
"Huh, me?"
"'Cute' isn't exactly a compliment for a police officer~"
"My goal is to become a cool Detective Police Officer in the future!"
Higashimatsuyama Yone made a gun shape with her hand, looking very professional.
"Alright, Kobayashi-san, you go see how things are. I'm going to continue my patrol."
Higashimatsuyama Yone said this to Kobayashi Itsuki, then took out her cell phone.
"Let's exchange contact information. If the Kindergarten doesn't work out, call me again!"
Kobayashi Itsuki looked at the cell phone in Higashimatsuyama Yone's hand, his expression somewhat helpless.
He took out the paper and pen he carried in his pocket and said to her, "I don't have a cell phone right now. Write down your number, and I'll text you once I get one later."
Higashimatsuyama Yone noticed Kobayashi Itsuki's helplessness and immediately apologized awkwardly.
"I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to..."
Thinking that many people had recently committed suicide because they couldn't bear the pressure of life, and Kobayashi Itsuki was one of them, Higashimatsuyama Yone felt very guilty for being so careless with details.
What if this triggered him? He had only just managed to pull himself together.
"It's alright, it's alright. If anything, I should be the one apologizing."
Kobayashi Itsuki shook his head and said gently.
Since he had been reborn, he truly didn't care about such trivial matters. After noting down Higashimatsuyama Yone's number, Kobayashi Itsuki waved goodbye and watched her depart.
Once his surroundings quieted down, Kobayashi Itsuki looked at the Kindergarten in front of him and muttered to himself.
"crayon shin-chan, huh? That's really giving me a headache."
Although previously, compared to other dangerous anime worlds, he had desperately hoped this was the world of crayon shin-chan.
Now that it actually was, he couldn't feel happy.
Because this world, just like the world of doraemon, contains quite a bit of supernatural power.
In some theatrical versions, there are entities like action kamen, robots, monsters, and the Time-Space Administration Bureau, which is completely incomparable to ordinary worlds.
It's just that because crayon shin-chan is a cheerful slice-of-life series, everything is resolved amidst laughter, making people feel like nothing serious happened.
But this is only true for the five-year-old brat, crayon shin-chan, who possesses the Protagonist's Halo.
If any other ordinary person were involved in these events, they would have likely died countless times already.
As an ordinary person in this world, Kobayashi Itsuki either had to run far away.
He needed to live in a place that wouldn't be affected or impacted as much as possible.
Or he could try his best to master supernatural power himself, gaining the ability to protect himself in this world.
For some reason, a heavy sense of urgency spread from the bottom of his heart.
Kobayashi Itsuki hadn't felt this way even when he learned he was saddled with massive debt; he had only felt melancholy and depressed.
"Time to go in. Come on."
After giving himself a pep talk, Kobayashi Itsuki strode towards Futaba Kindergarten.
Just then, the melodious end-of-class bell rang, the classroom door opened, and a group of children wearing Kindergarten uniforms cheerfully ran out.
The previously empty and quiet playground instantly became lively.
Kobayashi Itsuki seized the moment and waved towards a tall figure who was walking out with the group of children.
"Hello, I heard your esteemed Kindergarten is recruiting a Physical Education Teacher..."
