Chapter 2: Day 2

Half an hour later and Zenkichi decided to do something productive.

Standing up from his bed he walked towards the door and opened it, and right at that moment, he heard a young feminine voice resounding in the entire house.

"Zenkichi! Time for breakfast~!" Zenkichi blinked his eyes owlishly, standing idiotically through his opened door, realization entered his eye.

"Oh yeah, I have a different mom now..." Honestly, he doesn't know how to feel about that.

He had a mother in his previous, one who he loved dearly and which she returned as well. He also had a father, siblings, cousins, uncles, aunties and etc..

Zenkichi's eyes threatened to spill out tears.

But they were in different worlds now, him now dead in his original world, and now occupying a different body and living someone else's life.

He has to adapt in his new environment, try to live this new life of his.

Be Zenkichi Hitoyoshi from now on...

Even so, it's hard to.

Rubbing his eyes to prevent tears spilling, Zenkichi took a slow deep breath in as he leaned against his door for a few moments to calm himself and to not lay any suspicion on his new mother that he was no longer the real Zenkichi Hitoyoshi.

Walking down the second floor narrow hallways and down the stairway to the first floor, Zenkichi was met with an appetizing smell that unknowingly made his stomach rumble in hunger.

'Mm. It smells so good!' He subconsciously licked his lips in anticipation as he stepped into the living room and looked towards the part of where the kitchen is.

Standing with the tip of her toes on a wooden small bench, wearing wooden sandals over knee socks, was a twelve year old looking girl that looked like Zenkichi: with strawberry blonde hair, blue eyes and high eyebrows. She was over a boiling pot of curry, her right hand holding a ladle which she used to took a sip on the curry.

Most would have mistaken this girl as Zenkichi's little sister but the truth is, however.

The girl turned towards Zenkichi and smiled brightly. "Good morning, Zen-chan~!"

Zenkichi smiled softly and replied with a low tone of voice. "Good morning... Mom."

Yes, this little girl, wearing a white lab coat over a yellow sleeveless shirt and pink skirt was Zenkichi Hitoyoshi's mother.

She's a certified legal loli.

With the help of the original Zenkichi's memories, the current one wasn't feeling that much weirded out of having a little girl as his mother.

"Mm. That smells delicious, is that curry, mom?" Zenkichi said as he took a seat by the table. The necessary utensils, plates and bowl filled with rice were already on the table.

"Yup! Now sit tight while mommy here make us our breakfast." Hitomi said quickly as she returned her focus on the curry.

Zenkichi smiled softly and patiently waited. He started thinking of what he's going to do now.

He has exactly one week before entering highschool, Hakoniwa Academy, together with his childhood friend, Medaka Kurokami. Since he decided he wanted to get stronger so he could protect the latter, Zenkichi has to do it, getting stronger.

He could do that by two methods, one, hope to god that he would be able to get the Super Soldier Serum by this week, or two, trained in the old ancient way.

Training montage.

"Zenkichi! It's done, so let's eat!"

"Okay! Itadakimas! Ahhh, uug, mm~ Mom this is delicious! Did you add hot sauce?" Zenkichi said with a smile and twinkling eyes.

"Yup~! Just the way you like it Zenkichi." Hitomi replied with a giggle as she then started eating her portion.

Time passes to one hour later.

Zenkichi stood in the middle of his backyard, wearing black sleeveless skintight combat vest, long black combat cargo pants, and black military boots. On his right breastplate was a symbol of shield.

He lightly breathes out and started a series of martial art techniques, it was a mix of different martial arts: eskrima, muay thai, judo, and taijutsu. He used every martial arts he knows that he could currently do, as he didn't have someone to use them against, and switch between them by the next half an hour after he used one.

Zenkichi panted and wiped the sweat out of his forehead, even with sweat dripping down his face, his eyesight remains crystal clear.

He wanted to test out the skills that he got from Hawkeye's memories, he also wanted to test out his archery skill but the area around his backyard wasn't enough for him to test his skill. He could test out his other skills of armed combat, like his swordsmanship, but he was afraid she would return and see that he had somehow gotten a sword without her notice.

His mother wouldn't really be bothered by his practices of swordsmanship but she would be suspicious, by the fact, that he had somehow gotten a sword without her notice.

She was currently out of the house and is working at a local clinic, just a few minutes of walk from here, which where she has been working at for the past several years since that hospital that she had used to worked at had been taken down for some reason.

Right now, Zenkichi had nothing to do but either to wait for school to start or play around with his current abilities.

Oh but Zenkichi, what about hanging around with your friends?

Yeah... The original Zenkichi was a kind and charming guy that could almost make friends with anyone, but he had entered the awkward stage when he was in middle school at first year. He wanted to make a name for himself, specifically being the boss of a bunch of thugs.

That had caused him to be the outcast of his school for the next couple of years, and it made his relationship with Medaka slightly strained.

Zenkichi winced. There's another problem he has to deal with, Medaka Kurokami. The girl that was equal to what a god could be in mortal flesh and blood. She was considered as a god, for both her personality and monstrous abilities.

She is also the one that can kill him easily with a mere slap to the face, if she finds out that Zenkichi Hitoyoshi had died and someone else had occupied his body and had taken over his identity.

What is he going to do?!

Zenkichi let out a sigh as he finished drinking water from a plaster bottle. "....I am so not looking forward to that."

He shuddered and turned to walk back to his house.

The next day, Zenkichi wakes up normally, his expression dark and brow twitching.

'UGH! I thought it was all just a fucking dream!'

*Do you want to log in for day two?

The system's interface appeared right in front of Zenkichi's face. His other eyebrow twitched and mentally commanded.

'Yeah, log me in into this hell.'

*Ding! User has log in for day two. Congratulations, You Received a Pair of Web Shooters(Stark Series)

Glancing to his inventory space, he saw a pair of web shooters and an interface that looked like it came from Minecraft appeared; showing box images of Hawkeye's equipment and the pair of web shooters.

Zenkichi blinked.

"Huh, neat."
