3 Childhood Troubles

I've been reborn. That's the only thing I remember. There's no memories of a random god accidentally killing me, not an Angel rewarding me for some karma points, or me picking an op system, but I remember just the information of my past life and how I was before.

I don't know if I was normal or not, but I remember that I used to do charity works and helped out a lot of people who needed help. Taking care of old seniors living alone, helping abandoned animals, taking care of sick people…

Hmm… it seems that I actually remember more than I thought I did. But I don't remember what else happened after I died. I just remember that a truck hit me.

Most people say "Oh, I want truck-kun to isekai me" "We all need Truck-kun in our lives" "Lemme get hit by a truck!" But in reality, it hurts like hell for a moment and you just die, no MCs getting isekai'd and making out with an elf, gaining superpowers and going from D-rank to SSS-rank, and returning back in time and becoming the master of martial arts, just death.

… I mean, I did get isekai'd, but there's no elves in Ancient Greece. Yep. At least there will be nymphs.

Anyways, I only have fragmented memories of my past identity, but I have the general knowledge and experience of my past life.

"Here, Eschios~! Breakfast~!"

I've been born again, and was named Eschios. And now, my mother is trying to have me drink milk. Her milk. I know that this is normal, but… uh… What should I do…?

My mentality is that of an adult's, but my physical body is one of a child's, so is it ok? Having an inner debate within me, I hesitated.

"Oh no… He's not eating… What's wrong?! Is it a curse!?"

My mother panicked and shouted with fear. She seemed like she was going to fall into a panic attack. I was afraid of what would happen if I didn't drink the milk, so I stuffed my face in her chest and began to drink.

"Yes, yes, right… right… My cute little Eschios, look how much you're eating~! I'm so glad…"

—No time to worry about shame or anything like that. I felt like making her worry will result in a really uncomfortable result, so I received my mother's milk.

Damn it, I didn't expect much, but it isn't as sweet as he*tai said it would be. They lied to me.

Narrator pov:

After being born again, Eschios grew up receiving immense love from his mother, Selene, and his older sisters. With the skyblue hair that was just like his mother, and eyes just like Endymion's, he received lots of love from his mother and sisters.

But many times, the love he received was too much, so Eschios had to go against his sisters to protect his dignity as a man at the Temple of Selene.

"Eschios~! Eschios~! Where are you~!? I made a pretty dress for you~!"

"Eschios! We have sweet and crunchy snacked for you here~! Come out quickly~!"

"….."

At the age of five, Eschios ran away to hide from his sisters, who didn't even listen to his pleads to stop. But Eschios couldn't leave as outside of Selene's Temple were jagged rocks and cliffs, which was dangerous for even a demigod like Eschios.

So Eschios' everyday life was hiding from his sisters until Selene came back from her work as a god. Thankfully, he had natural talent and a body built for speed, so he was able to run away faster than his sisters as a mere five-year old.

"…Phew… Leave me alone… I'm a prideful man… I don't wanna get dressed up in dresses…"

"-That's why it's better, little brother." (A/N: ???)

As the grumbling Eschios got caught by his oldest sister, the Temple of Selene was soon filled with the horrified screams of Eschios.

<One Week Later>

The name of my past life, I don't remember. Who my family were, I don't remember. Who am I? What place is this? The memories, as if clouded by something, is hid away. But I learned what this place was, whether I hated it or not.

I soon learned that this place was Ancient Greece, and that my parents were none other than the Selene, the Full moon goddess, and Endymion the man. And I have, like, 50 sisters. But…

"Eschios~! Where are~ you~!"

As always, I'm hiding from my sisters to avoid being treated like a Barbie doll to them for dress-up. Thankfully, my body was very fast, so I could get away from them fast.

Although at first I was captured and had my masculine confidence decreased by having been dressed like a princess, I got used to their patterns of catching me and had my streaks of being captured decreased.

"Eschios~! I prepared a snack that you like~! Come and eat with us~!"

"….."

'Do you think I'll go, you demon of a sister?'

Me right now is just being treated like a cute brother that's good for dress-ups, but I mustn't forget what this place is.

This place is Ancient Greece, where love between man is considered "True" and "Perfect" love.

Not to hate on gay people, but it's just that I'm not gay, and it would feel not so great to… you know, marry a guy.

As I know how great thy beauty is, oh wonderful myself, I would have to be careful.

No, seriously, not joking. My beauty is on a different level. It's on a level that surpasses most men and women to the point people think I'm a hot girl. If you think I'm being arrogant and that my beauty was average, I can only wish.

"I swear, Eschios has gotten so good at hiding from us now."

"….."

So I was afraid. Afraid of myself being cursed by gods for this beauty. That "wise" Athena cursed Medusa because of jealousy. I didn't know if my beauty would work on gods, but fear grew each passing day.

Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, does not accept being who are beautiful than her. She has this though of "always being no.1 in beauty". Once, she even told Eros to make Psyche, the beautiful princess, to fall in love with an ugly monster.

I don't know if I'll be more beautiful than her or not, but… what if some people decide to praise my beauty before praising the goddess'? Ugh… I'm trembling in fear again.

"Mama is back~!"

"Mo-mother's back!"

"Darn it… we couldn't find Eschios today…"

As the sun rises again along with the voice of my mother, I looked around and stood up from my hiding spot. Thankfully, I safely protected myself through the night.

_________________________________________

Looking at her beautiful 50 daughters and her most cute and beautiful and squishy and charming son, Selene felt her stress going all away. And now, after seeing Endymion sleeping as always in the bedroom, her condition goes over perfect.

"Eschios, let's get ready to go somewhere today!"

"Uh… go, out…? To where…?"

However, she had something else to do for today. She called out to Eschios and said that there's somewhere that the two needed to go to. Eschios already could feel a bad news coming his way, at the speed faster than Hermes.

"You're going to come with me to Olympus!"

"… What…?"
