1 Prologue

"I'm heading out."

Those were the words that Shinji Mizunashi muttered as he left the office and eventually entered the elevator.

Shinji wore a white labcoat over a grey cotton jacket which had the middle button done up with his black shirt left for all to see, as well as standard black trousers and shoes connecting his thin body with a white belt which was red on the interior. There were three notable features about him: the laptop which was red on the interior, his red earphones which dangled from his neck and his glasses which had a shine that covered his eyes ominously in different ways.

He sighed.

'What am I doing?' He was raised in a European country but went back to his origins and eventually settled down there. Now obviously, he had a reason.

Anime, games, technology. Entertainment.

He settled down in Japan – the country known for its entertainment – in hopes to live a pleasurable life. However, there was a catch – a really obvious catch that applies everywhere.

Money.

So he had to take a job. He studied Sociology, psychology and computer technology and computer coding. There were quite a number of jobs that applied like: penetration testing – which, no, does not refer to sex but rather the testing of defenses – or in other words become an ethical hacker, a therapist, a psychologist – hell, even game development was an open option. But what did he choose?

Spoiler alert, he chose penetration testing.

Well, not quite. He actually did all three except game development but settled with penetration testing since he was running out of opportunities with a growing reputation as a 'hopper' and penetration testing gave him the necessary income. But there were two things he hated about his job: one, the attitude of his peers and then next was the time he spent.

I mean seriously, just because he managed to get through their defenses in less than a minute doesn't mean they should treat him like the fucking plague. And then he has to spend like 12 hours after finishing working just so he doesn't get his payment decreased since its part of ethics to leave when everyone else leaves. The amount of needless overtime they gave him when his job took like a minute was a sight for sore eyes.

And he's not even going to fucking mention these annoying co-workers who bully the younger workers into drinking alcohol and pushing them into areas of prostitution just so they could contract an STD or waste their money and grow addicted...!

He sighed as he exited the building and waited across a zebra crossing, waiting for the monitor to show that he could walk.

He glanced to a nearby shopping mall.

'Geh...' He grunted uncomfortably at seeing a store that sold harem anime figures. 'Nothing against people who want harems, but they're fucking idiots.'

And no he's not saying this because he's a "beta male" but because he's had girlfriends before. Sure, he broke up with his most recent girlfriend simply because he couldn't spend enough time on her and she was too needy for his liking but that was a mutual decision after they both came to terms with their individual situations. In other words, he can specifically say this because he's had multiple relationships before.

That and one of his childhood friends from Europe was stabbed to death because he tried to go the harem route – in real life – but reached the bad "school days" ending. Funny, Shinji survived that because the sheer balls he had by simply stating that their problem is between the two of them and does not include him. He'll never know how he survived that...

Anyway back onto topic, he truly believed that people whom desired harems in the real world were nothing but brainless losers.

There were a multitude of things to consider when entering a harem. Main things being: attention to the child, raising the child, expenses to raise the child and nurture it, attention to the members of the harem, satisfaction level of the members of the harem, expenses for the relationship and instilling norms and values effectively. And those are just the core basics that he can think of to the top of his sub-consciousness. Things in which people struggle just to have a single batch of, and these harem protagonists want to duplicate that stress?!

Also note that lots of anime women have stupid quirks which makes managing one even more of a stupid idea.

Needless to say, he hated harems.

'Dumbasses...' He shook his head and began to cross the crossing, although he was notably behind the crowd he knew for a fact that he would be able to cross the—

BANG

"GAH!"

A car – notably of the racing variety – crashed into him and he could feel his legs being crushed and broken in a moment as he was flung around 5 stories high, rotating up and down a multitude of times as he felt delirious and wanted to puke.

SPLAT

He eventually landed in an uneven manner and his arms and legs separated from being pressured in an uneven manner.

His consciousness began to fade behind his glasses.

He knew he was going to die, his precious white labcoat was stained red in large amounts.

No way around it.

But if there was one thing he desired...

"I wish... I could go onto game development..."

After all, he had a passion and a flair for it when he was younger.

†

Now that he was dead, he was just swimming in a dark void. Like literally swimming and eventually, he felt something attach to him that felt bright.

"Twilight Healing." Were words that appeared into his mind temporarily as he entered the giant orb.

Oh fuck, he's going to the world of harems and boobs and powers.

†

"WAAAAAAAH!" Were his first words after being born, simply because he knew for a fact that he needed to develop his vocal cords.

Although, it is odd knowing that his brain is still as developed as his previous life one was considering baby brains are supposed to be undeveloped or something. Or maybe, his baby brain absorbed his information and developed faster which... should be good since younger bodies tend to think with a certain part of the brain which promotes emotional behaviour, hence how "instinct" is apparently developed and how a genius is apparently formed.

He should really capitalise on this.

"Fufu~ Darling~ I'll name him after you, Izayoi Itsuka Shinji... Although, officially it will be Izayoi Shinji." That voice sounds... eerily similar. So his first name's still Shinji? Well, that's a relief.

"Hey! I was gonna name my baby that!" He heard a complaint from another feminine voice as an onslaught of feminine voices spoke up.

This... feels... eerily familiar.

Too bad he can't open his eyes yet.

Although, he can't help but feel a chill go through his spine.

†

Six months in and he already wanted to commit infanticide on himself. Turns out he was the first son of Miku Izayoi from Date A Live which is bad since this means that this is a crossover world and he doesn't know how many crossovers that includes.

Oh and also bad because currently he has 11 siblings with another estimated to be coming in around a month which would be 13 in total including himself.

Also, please note how the children are raised by a bunch of servants who are not allowed to show any emotions other than obedience. There's only like one old man who actually does, though.

Anyway, case-in-point, the children are left in one room and neglected by the parents and not being taught the right norms and values needed.

He inwardly cringed.

He never raised a kid before but looks like he'll have to start now.

†

A year in and as expected, they were neglected. Hence it was up to him to teach them the necessary values and norms and to educate them to speak, walk and practically do everything else.

Now luckily, they are like absolute angels whom are obedient and docile. Ah... they're just future capitalist worker drones, aren't they?

Anyway, his siblings in order of oldest to youngest was like this:

Miku Izayoi: Shinji Izayoi (He's not gonna include middle names because fuck Shidou and his neglection, actually fuck all his parents). Shinji had golden eyes and light blue hair which he is definitely gonna dye into black later on in his life simply because he looks like a carbon cut of Shidou Itsuka and he hates that neglecting piece of trash.

Kotori Itsuka (Incest is not wincest!): Hibari and Takuya Itsuka whom are both twins, have spiky red hair and eyes and two of the most energetic of the children.

Kurumi Tokisaki: Shinichi and Kurumi-Kouhai Tokisaki. Shinichi in very simple terms had frizzy hair – kinda looked like the persona 5 main character – and had black eyes which would sometimes glow red, he was pretty mild mannered and sensible. His twin on the other hand looked like Kurumi except she didn't have a clock for a eye, just Shidou's golden eye. Her heterochromia is probably gonna be a target for bullying in the future. Her name is actually kinda sad, she's just the mini version of Kurumi although in terms of personality she likes to be spoiled, like, a lot.

Tohka Yatogami: Shiro Yatogami, you can guess where the inspiration of her name came from. While quiet, she looks sharp but she's actually one of the most energetic out of the lot and the most gluttonous. I swear, this child somehow consumed 15 bottles of milk before her black hole was satisfied.

Origami Tobiichi: Silver hair and light-blue eyes was Kiyohime Tobiichi's most prevalent feature. Her name is definitely a threat to Shidou (lol) but what's nice about her is that she wears a black cap on her head. Also, in terms of personality she's listless, calm and... surprisingly spiteful.

I mean seriously, when Shiro stole her milk she stared into thin air before smashing the bottle into Shiro's face. How a baby could both manage that and survive that, he would never know.

Yuzuru Yamai: Shinto Yamai was orange headed and eyed. Also surprisingly impressionable. But... he's already obtained the wrong norms and values because he found an instruction of sex postures laying on the floor a while back and now can't help but look at Shidou – when he visits once every two months – in respect. This one... is trouble.

Kaguya Yamai: Tohru Yamai, in simple terms, is a cheerful and an energetic airhead who I want to bash in the head sometimes. She's smart but refuses to do anything but have fun. So exhausting.

Natsumi Kyouno: Next on the list was Satou Kyouno whom had green hair and eyes and in terms of personality was single-mindedly focused on things as well as an airhead. Nothing said, but behaves well when not focused on anything.

Yoshino Himekawa: Sayori Himekawa, in simple terms this darker-haired Miku Hatsune expy was two-faced. Both energetically positive and easily depressed. Kinda bipolar. Honestly, her two faces are exhausting to keep up with.

Mukuro Hoshimiya: Second to last is Benihime Hoshimiya whom sported golden eyes and drill tails. She's polite – for a child – but surprisingly anti-social.

Then... we come to the last child.

Nia Honjo's child: Sakuya Honjo, the youngest as well as the most oddest. Why? It's because her luck is stupid proficient. I mean seriously, this child just waves her hand and a lollipop falls from the window delivered by a fucking bird that was attacked by another bird. Is she the next Jesus? She's also eerily calm but when she saw anime for the first time her eyes sparkled like the sun. She's going to be a troublesome one...

†

'3 years and I already regret my life choices.' Was the thought he abruptly erupted as he spent the entire three years trying to be the parent these children needed. As a child.

Fuck his life.

And finally, the servants were given permission to take the children to the park. What a relief, finally he had a break.

Honestly, he wouldn't be surprised if he died from overwork because annoyingly enough those neglectful pieces of shits that are their parents rarely actually do their fucking role as their parent. They only brag about themselves, and the children they never even bothered to raise and fight over for Shidou's attention whilst trying to get laid with him.

He entered the park with the servants – whom were probably observing in secret – and spectated it. There were a dozen things that seemed like the kind of stuff that children like to play with but before they could go off.

CLAP CLAP

Shinji calmly clapped his hands "Now I know most of you are excited for this but we must first set some ground rules."

"AWWWWWW~!" The Children whined and pouted at Shinji, well except Shinichi – Kurumi's kid – and then they all began to shut up once Shinji glared at them. Trained them to be obedient, or at least somewhat.

"First: do not leave the park's premi—Area no matter what." Shinji had switch up his vocabulary, they were still children. "Am I clear?"

"YES~!" They all raised their hands like the ducklings they were.

"Second: If anyone offers you candy or anything, take the candy and ignore them. Do not eat the candy as it might be bad but eat it when the servies are around." Free food is free food, and also the children recognise the servants as "Servies" and if anything is harmful in the sweets then the servants – which are notably trained (like seriously, they are meticulous) – could probably do something. "Am I clear?"

"YES~!"

"Third: No violence; no hitting, no punching, no kicking, no biting, no slapping, not even play-fighting." Shinji stared at them all as he glared at the two red-headed twins whom were... notoriously violent "I'm talking about you two."

"E~H!" They all whined.

"No complaining or we are all going home." Shinji sighed. "Am I clear?"

"Yes~!"

"Forth: Listen to Shinichi for safety advice and don't be stubborn or else you're banned from going to the park for a month." Shinji warned them all.

"Banned?!" Some exclaimed.

Shinji nodded "You are all important to me, and if I need to teach you all how important you are then so be it." Shinji sighed "Am I clear?"

"Yes~!" They were less enthusiastic but whatever.

Shinji then coughed "And lastly—" They all groaned before they stopped as they saw him glaring "Have fun."

"YES~!" They all agreed happily as everyone ran off except Shinichi.

Shinji looked at his younger brother whom was honestly... quite smarter than the rest – a bonafide genius. "I'm trusting them with you; don't let me down."

Shinichi shifted his fake glasses – which was surprisingly gifted by his mother by mail a day ago – and nodded.

Shinji sighed as he mildly smiled "Good, then go have fun."

Shinichi ran off whilst Shinji sighed and walked to a nearby bench and climbed it.

'I need some coffee.' He groaned as he sat down on the chair and basked in the sun.

These three years were hard on him, but finally he finally had a break. Finally. Did he forget to say the word "finally"? There were other kids in the park along with other parents – some of which recorded them – but hopefully the other kids could make some friends. Although, he very much doubts it.

Most citizens have black hair and eyes whilst there are few with colourful hair colours – from what he observed – but that definitely means discrimination is going to occur. After all, it's human nature to fear, ostracise and hate the unknown and those of difference.

Whilst plainly staring at his siblings having fun, he stared at Shinichi. Shinichi, was quite a genius, as well as smart and sensible but he also seems to uphold a rising justice boner which is bad.

He's a good role model for the kids, though.

After all, Shinji himself can't be an example as he was born on December whilst they were born in/past January hence means they will be separated in different years. And he's not willing to be held back a year.

"Hump!" A grunt occurred as a kid tried to climb the chair that Shinji was sitting on. The kid had an unrepentant deadpan as well as brown hair and silver eyes. Looks like he's trying to get on whilst playing on a game device that looks like a PlayStando Vita.

Shinji sighed as his light blue hair drew his attention "Hand it over to me; I'll give it back."

His silver eyes stared at Shinji's golden eyes for a moment "You swear not to steal it?"

"I swear." Shinji didn't want to steal from a kid, damn it!

The kid handed Shinji the Vita which Shinji put in a pocket as he reached a hand out for the kid to grasp. Soon later, they were both sitting down whilst the kid was playing his PlayStando Vita.

"What's your name?" The kid's plain voice was indistinguishable.

"Izayoi Shinji," Shinji responded "Though just call me Shinji."

He raised an eyebrow as he continued button mashing "I thought you're not supposed to say the first name first?"

Shinji shrugged "Its more preference; although most like the second name first because they feel better than you."

The kid looked at Shinji "What's a preference?"

"A preference is something you prefer or in simple terms like over the other." Shinji responded to which the kid nodded.

"Why's your hair blue?" The kid asked.

Shinji didn't want to explain anime genetics hence he thought of a simple explanation to give "My mother's hair colour is blue."

He nodded "Why's your mother's hair blue?"

Shinji shrugged "Why's your mother's hair black?"

He shrugged back and he continued to button mash.

"Oh, my name is Kurokage Emiya." The deadpan kid responded "Call me Emiya."

Shinji nodded "Okay."

Silence came back and the sounds of button mashing occurred.

"What game are you playing?" Shinji asked, he might as well make a friend.

"Lizard Quest." Emiya responded back as Shinji leaned over.

"Make sure to get more buffs and support items." Shinji advised as he only saw active skills on his skill list.

"Why?" Emiya raised an eyebrow.

Shinji smiled as he reminisced his previous life. "Preparation is half the game."

"Preparation?" Emiya asked.

"To get ready for." Shinji informed.

"Oh!" Emiya perked up.

After that they both spent the rest of the day discussing and playing the game.

"Wanna be friends?" Emiya asked abruptly as they were about to leave.

"Sure."

†

Around 2 years later, when he was 5 he was finally starting the first grade of elementary school. On his first day he finally saw his mother, after what seemed to be like a year.

Because unlike his younger siblings whom have mothers whom visit three times a month, Shinji's mother visits only 7 times a year. All in the same week for that entire year. Seems like she's continuing her job as an idol as well as has another job.

He really wants to sue her for child neglect.

Actually, he wants to sue the world for legalizing harems.

Yes, such a stupid and illogical concept was legalized. Though, that said, very few households actually take advantage of it.

Anyway, on his entrance day for his elementary school Miku Izayoi – his mother – took a picture of them together. She was the only one smiling whilst Shinji tolerated her presence.

"A rebellious phase" they say.

Now he'll say this now, in his previous life he was an orphan. A Japanese raised in an European orphanage till he was legally old enough to be kicked out and (not) ready to take on the big bad world all by himself.

He didn't need parental affection – nay, parents – then and he didn't need them now.

He was no doubt the youngest in the whole year, since they averaged 6-7 but his behaviour sure didn't highlight that. Although, he was physically weaker than them even after all the exercise he did.

Needless to say, he didn't bother trying to hide his intelligence simply because of how arduous that would be. That and it opens up better options for his future; he was already teaching his siblings multiplication and division. Although, admittedly some of them are stubbornly refusing education. Cough, cough Tohru, Hibari, Takuya, Shiro cough, cough.

Definitely didn't mention any names.

Anyway his life till third grade of elementary school when he was 8 (his entire grade averaged 8-9 and he was no longer physically the weakest) was pretty continuous and monotonous until it was not.

You see, usually he would educate his siblings, dote on them in both school and at home as well as make sure they socialised enough by introducing them to people their age because yes he was somewhat popular because of his looks and he fully intends to take advantage of that.

But one day near the end of school, he stumbled upon something as he was doing a favour for a teacher by bringing a book to a classroom.

He saw his first friend, Emiya Kurokage, being violently and brutally beaten up through the window. Note this is being said by an adult in the body of a child.

There were two options he had.

'Abandon his first friend, stick up for his first friend.' But his adrenalin and flight and fight instincts kicked in and he picked the most reasonable of the options. He dropped his books and picked...

None.

The third option.

FIGHT.

He chooses to FIGHT for his friend. Why would he voluntarily let them harm him when he can just harm them instead?

He vaulted over the ground-floor window ledge and landed on the playground – mildly glancing at his siblings just watching this spectacle – and dashed towards the four boys bullying his first friend. One was chubby, which pretty much equalled to muscles at this age and the others were just standard normies.

Adrenalin kicked in his body as he decked one child in the face – which caught them by surprise – and using this moment of surprise Shinji attacked another standard child in the face as he then proceeded to push said child to another child and made them both fall on the floor.

"RAAAAAH!" The chubby child snarled and practically launched a missile on Shinji's rib but Shinji didn't stop as he knew for a fact that hesitation would just lead to more exhaustion.

"Come here you tubby little ginger cunt!" Shinji taunted as he dodged the chubby child and proceeded to promptly kick the first child in the face which promptly knocked him out as well as then began abusing the other standard-sized children till they were all a sobbing mess.

"RAAAAAAA!" The chubby kid rammed Shinji's back which forced him with a collision to the dirt but he rolled to the side as he dodged a kick to the face and picked himself up.

"HA!" Shinji grunted loudly as he decked the kid in the face but he also grunted again when said kid decked him in the face and then it was just monotonous.

Both sides refused to lose to the other. The chubby kid was stronger, faster and hit harder but was more reckless, however contrary to this Shinji was more methodical but his hits were way weaker.

"Just go down you piece of absolute shit!" Shinji hissed, bruised.

"No! Fuck you!" The kid, less bruised but still bruised.

"That's what your mother did to me last night!" Shinji retorted.

Shinji was far more experienced in the provocation game which was good as it pissed his foe off even more which led to more errors he could take advantage of.

It eventually came to an end as both children were dragged away by two spectating adults.

"Psychopathic prick!" Shinji hissed out.

"Dickhead!" The kid responded.

"Look in the mirror and you'll see a picture-perfect image of one!" Shinji retorted.

"At least I can afford a mirror!" The kid responded.

"Well, that's surprising considering you psychokinetically shatter every mirror in your presence without even trying!" Shinji cussed.

Shinji ignored the children who were busy laughing at the insults being said.

Needless to say, after that day he was suspended for a week whilst they were expelled since Emiya needed serious medical attention. Dickwads.

Also, Shinichi started a more proactive role in teaching his other siblings morals whilst Shinichi himself became a sort of cop in school. It was really surprising, seeing a docile and obedient boy become a calm, collected but justice-holding person. Surprisingly, the other children followed suite partially.

†

Time passed and he was 9 years old when forth grade averaged 9-10 year olds. Emiya Kurokage, spent very little time by himself and tended to follow Shinji around like a duck hence he had to introduce his friend to his siblings and they all treated him like he was one of them.

Eventually, another person joined the duo that was Shinji and Emiya. Her name was Chara Player, a chin-length browned-haired girl with a bob-cut and red eyes whom tended to wear a green jumper with a single lighter stripe circling the torso over black leggings and shoes.

She, in simple terms, was a pro-gamer.

All of the Itsukas in addition to Emiya didn't even manage to chip her in-game defenses. Frankly, it was absurd.

It was a pretty calm year, but he also did meet another kid whom went by the name of Toujou Ai. Girl with waist-length brown hair that was tied up with a green ribbon thus parting her hair around the left part of her face. Likes wearing an oversized blue coat because "it looks cool". Pretty cool kid, although she has an addiction of hoarding phones.

Oh and just to keep a reminder: their trio – now a quadruple with the addition of Ai – are all a year older than Shinji's siblings which was good considering he now had a social group to develop his own social skills with, as well as to ensure that his siblings have experience dealing with those older than them.

Oh and also as a side note: Ai began teaching the Itsuka twins along a few others some Kendo skills and techniques which could come in handy for self-defense, because frankly his previous world was dangerous as it was but now that he's in an anime world – DXD in particular – something like Kendo is sure to be even more useful.

The fact that it's an anime world is easy to forget, he'll have to remember it more thoroughly.

Oh and one more note: Shidou's harem is beginning to spend more – a day extra – time with them although Miku Izayoi hasn't changed in the slightest. This change was probably caused by his suspension.

Just what are these failures of parents even doing? Shinji isn't stupid, he knows that they're doing something else other than having sexual intercourse. What that is though, he doesn't know.

†

On his ninth birthday, his mother came over. For 10 minutes.

She silently handed him a phone and left.

That's literally all.

No apologies, no congratulations, no nothing.

He's never wanted to destroy a present in his entire life, but right then and there he did desire to do so. But he didn't, he wouldn't waste such materials nor would he waste her miniscule amount of effort or thoughtfulness on a temper tantrum; It would've been better if she didn't come at all like all the other years.

He's more responsible than that, he's an adult.

So why... did it hurt so much?

Probably because he always wondered how parents were like in his previous life only for his expectations to be dashed. All those years Shinji Mizunashi spent jealous over people whom had parents were slowly and thoroughly crushed by the experiences cultivated by Shinji Itsuka Izayoi.

The only difference between Izayoi's parents and Mizunashi's caretakers is that no abuse – which would be swept over the rug by inspectors – took place in Izayoi's life as well as Mizunashi was nowhere near as wealthy as Izayoi's surroundings.

Hence... in the end the core of Shinji stays the same.

A person of unsuitable origins desperately grasping for a semblance of heaven.

Depressing behaviour aside; something interesting took place on his birthday. His siblings gave him a day off along with a batch of "Do any one thing" coupon to him in amateurish crayons. He never felt such happiness in his life. Hell, Emiya even gave him a present – which he didn't expect at all – which was his own PlayStando Vita X3. It was the latest model.

He shed tears that day.

Chara Player gave him, 10 pounds worth of yen which... was fair. He appreciated the thought.

Though Ai Toujou's gift was being taken to her home which was an... interesting experience.

†

"Nice to meet you, I'm Izayoi Shinji." Shinji bowed to the grandparent of Ai.

Jin Toujou wore a long-sleeved shirt and trousers along with blue slippers and also had a cigarette in his mouth. Messy brown hair and eyes aside, what's distinct about him is that he has two scars on the lower half of his mouth as well as a scar on his right hand.

"Oh, a polite kiddo eh?" He smirked towards Ai who diverted her eyes.

"Don't worry, I'm not gonna spill your little secret." He rubbed Ai's hair and looked at Shinji.

A silence occurred.

"...Wanna play a board game?"

A pretty good offer all considering, but there was a single problem.

"...What's a board game?"

His entire previous life and his current life he had never once seen nor heard of a board game; probably because he spent his entire first life devoting himself to education and finding a job whilst his entire second life was spent raising the kids.

Although, Jin Toujou gaped in surprise and... His eyes glinted green?

Needless to say, after that he played with Ai and Jin. Mid-way through the game he asked where Ai's family were and Jin then smirked as he replied that they were on a vacation but Ai was left behind because she wanted to celebrate his birthday.

That... was unnecessary but... pleasant nonetheless.

†

Time passed and he was in sixth grade and was 11 years old in a grade that averaged 11-12 year olds. Nothing changed much other than the fact that he was beginning to feel nervous at the separation that was going to occur when he went to Junior High-School since he couldn't help but think something could happen to his younger siblings while he wasn't close enough. Also he had to choose which school he wanted to go which was an uninteresting process since he already knew that he wanted to go to Raizen School Academy since it was notorious for having a strict but efficient education system, and he knew he would pass the entrance exam simply because he was already adding knowledge on top of Mizunashi's knowledge which was already vast as it was since Mizunashi was a scholar student in the school he went to as well as had very good memory.

That and he got tons of recommendation letters from schools including Raizen Academy. He didn't even know that recommendation letters were possible for Junior High-school.

Needless to say, he would definitely pass. Although, once he told his group about this they all began to study extensively to the point that Shinji had to schedule daily study groups in addition to taking care of his younger siblings. It was stressful but worthwhile since these were his friends that he actually trusted somewhat.

Trust was hard to come by.

During one of his study sessions he did slack off though which was an interesting experience. They all played in Emiya's house or more specifically his virtual reality games.

Virtual reality was... an interesting experience. It was like living another life, which admittedly almost gave Shinji PTSD but didn't as he knew for a fact that he didn't die this time. He was just wary of cars for a while.

This year was pretty stressful since he had to support a lot of people whilst being worried about the future and possible occurrences that may occur whilst he was gone since he knew for a fact that no one bullied his siblings after getting four notorious students expelled.

†

He was a first year of Junior High-school aka Middle School and just like he thought before, the entrance exams were quite easy. He got 99 out of 100 correct and 1 incorrect because he forgot to write his middle name, which was fucking annoying because he refuses to acknowledge his middle name. Although, interesting to note is that someone else scored higher than him with a full hundred points. A girl called Peni Parker.

Peni Parker was notoriously half-Japanese but from appearances alone you would never notice since she had obsidian chin-length black hair and eyes. Also later Shinji would find out that she was genius in machinery; she was aiming to become a mechanic.

Also as a side note: he took up cooking as a hobby and almost traumatised Tanaka aka the butler that assisted in raising the children. He knew how to cook in his previous life, but he was out of practice hence he cut his own fingers quite a lot until he got into the groove once again. His siblings, Emiya, Ai, Chara and even Tanaka gave their seal of approval after the first few attempts.

Also during this year, his younger siblings wanted to get into the same school as him hence they regularly asked for help in homework and studying and he was obviously happy to oblige.

As a second side note, Shinji noted all the food that he could tempt his younger siblings with:

Itsuka Twins – Sweets in general along with threatening Takuya with Milk.

Shinichi – Coffee and curry.

Kouhai – Tea and coffee.

Shiro – Food in general, she's quite greedy.

Kiyohime – Vegetables.

Shinto – Porn and chocolate.

Tohru – Apples and being threatened with oranges because apparently that's cannibalism.

Satou – Broccoli

Sayori – Cereal and carbonated drinks.

Benihime – Carbonated drinks and curry.

Sakuya – Lolipops.

He swears he didn't have an ominous smirk nor felt any glee at them suffering the same thing he did.

†

Halfway through Middle School First Year he noticed a bunch of 12-13 year olds (yes he was still the youngest at 12) lure Peni Parker in a secluded part of the school and he saw her getting jumped by people whom thought that she was "overly cocky" and "ugly". Needless, to say he recorded this and walked up to them.

"I'd recommend you to stop." His voice pierced the secluded part of the school and they all looked at him with a sudden fear? Oh, they must be crushing on him or something since he did see some of them confess to him but he rejected them since he was too busy teaching his younger siblings. His reputation as the "Idol's Son" was truly troublesome; he should dye his hair soon.

The leader of the group spoke aloud as she glanced at his phone "Oh yeah, and what are you gonna do?" Her group started chattering till they eventually stopped talking "My father's the chieftain of the police."

'So it was that kinda game?' Shinji wondered as he did one of his evil smirks "My father's connected to the Governor." Of course that was a complete lie but they didn't know that.

Eventually they decided to piss off and Shinji held out a hand for Peni to take which she slapped away.

"I was fine." She replied with a grudge.

She was absent for two days which prompted him to visit her to make sure she was okay, and in conclusion budding-teenage angst was making her regret slapping his hand away even though he helped her. He didn't mind since he was no exception to teenage behaviour, he was just more tolerant to his own behaviour.

Needless to say, after that she joined Shinji's friend group. Chara and Emiya were ecstatic that someone who could build more game consoles joined the group. Hell, Emiya's father who owned a game company and Peni made some sort of deal. Ai was just simply on good terms with her.

Also as a side note: A mysterious hacker named "Zaregoto (nonsense)" that year spread and leaked information about a certain Chieftain's... unpleasant hobbies which involved minors. Good riddance.

When his mother visited for his twelfth birthday she was in simple terms "annoyed" that he dyed his hair black. He didn't really pay attention to her childish whining because as long as the people he cared about were fine with it then he had no problems. Although, when Shidou Itsuka visited he was just passively troubled which wasn't Shinji's problem.

Anyway, during second year of Middle School he came into... an acquaintance with a prominent Yakuza's daughter named Taiga Fujimura. He wouldn't say they were close like his other friends but they were at least on cordial terms. She also was part of the Kendo Club.

Talking about the Kendo Club... The Itsuka twins joined the Kendo Club once they entered Middle School. Shinji's other siblings joined a club and Shinji himself was part of the Games Creation club – much to the disappointment of the cooking club whom heard rumours of Shinji's cooking skills through his siblings – whilst Chara, Emiya and Ai joined the Gaming Club. Although, Peni joined Shinji in the Game Creation Club.

Also, during this year he made friends with another guy called Ranma Saotome whom apparently is doing a scholarship through the Martial Arts Club. Pretty chill dude, all things considered. He could also be considered as being apart of Shinji's friend group.

Ranma could kick the collective asses of the Itsuka siblings, as well as Peni but surprisingly tied with Ai. Although, Chara and Emiya didn't join the spar and he didn't blame them either. They were kinda stupid considering they were sparring against a literal pro, but whatever.

Third Year of Middle School and he was still consistently scoring 99 out 100 in every test simply because he refused to write the Itsuka middle name. He was also back to being stressed since Raizen's High-school division was pretty strict and the entrance exams were rumoured to be one of the hardest in the country, although he was pretty sure he would still pass but the problem wasn't him but his entire friend group.

Hence he spent most of the year hosting study groups which would include his inner circle and a bunch of other acquaintances like Shiramine Risa, Taiga Fujimura, Honjou Kaede and a bunch of other people.

That and on top of all that was making breakfast, lunch and dinner for his siblings whilst also making sure they were socially apt and had friends as well as making sure they didn't slack off in their studies because quite a few of them began to slack off, even Shinichi began to slack off.

Also, Shinji during halfway through the year picked up an injured white cat which he took care of for a while till it's owner picked it up near the end of the year. A red-haired man named Diluc Ragnvindr.

For some reason, red hair seemed to be significant but Shinji couldn't remember why. Oh well, he used to have blue hair so he isn't one to judge.

Although, the biggest stress that year wasn't because of social interactions nor studying or education but paparazzi.

Yes, paparazzi stormed Shinji simply because Miku Izayoi declared her retirement which was troublesome since Shinji had to look at her more at home. Her presence was practically equal to that of a free-loader.

Shinji was thankfully still neutral towards her though. Short replies, avoidance and all that stuff.

Problems that occurred that year was that Kouhai and Benihime were bullied. Although mysteriously that year, a few government officials lost their jobs.

Anyway, in terms of High-school division entrance exams, he passed with 95 out of 100 whilst the highest was 99 out of 100 by someone of the name of Shuichi Quartz. Peni Parker – the second highest scoring – in Shinji's friend group scored 97 out of 100 whilst Shinji's other friends passed by being in the 80s but Ranma barely scraped by at 61, just above the crucial requirements.

†

Paranoidly, he increased the study groups he held for his siblings so they were definitely going to score around the 80s and 70s at their worst.

During his first year of High-school he made contact with Shuichi Quartz – the man who scored highest – and was surprisingly a chill dude whom was gun fanatic. Like seriously, with just a single glance or a vague description he would know any suitable gun – or even weapon – for any description or situation. It was simply absurd. He had sharp features and glasses.

Then he made friends with an aspiring genius doctor who went by the name of Misa Hagino. She had auburn hair – which was tied in twin tails by yellow ribbons – and eyes. She was quite the lonely individual before joining Shinji's friend group. Quite sarcastic, stubborn and somewhat of a tsundere too.

Shinji also joined the Programming Club and in the club he made friends with a co-worker who went by the name of Sumika Tokiwa. She didn't join his friend group but Shinji could confidently say they were friends, and seems like they were both aiming for the same job. Her brown hair reached her shoulders and she had silver eyes. Quite the helpful and "down-to-earth" individual.

Also thankfully, Shidou Itsuka and his harem began spending more time with their children which meant Shinji was more free to spend time with Sumika in the club.

Shinji wasn't salty that he was no longer cooking as often as he did before, definitely not.

Other friends that came into his life was the duo of Ginko Sora and Shironeko Hyoudou. Both had silver hair but Ginko had blue eyes whilst Shironeko had amethyst eyes. Of the duo Ginko seemed to be the tsundere whilst Shironeko enjoyed teasing her distant relative. Although they also didn't join his friend group.

He also met Ai's older sister who was a senior, Satsuki Toujou Nonaka which pretty much confirmed Ai had a similar situation to him. She hold golden eyes and shoulder-length brown hair. She was... reliable but tended to be too literal, she was also in the kendo club which was good since he was acquainted with someone who would probably spar with the Itsuka twins.

That particular year was somewhat interesting since during a festival of sorts he was forced to sing and... He actually had talent in it. That kinda just pissed him off so he made sure to sing a depressing song, Lost One's We*ping, to be precise which... got mixed views from some teachers.

Anyway near the end of the year, during his sixteenth birthday he decided to cook a dinner for everyone he considered friends and acquaintances which included his entire family – yes even the failures of parenthood – and the servants. He even spoke an entire paragraph to his own mother.

Then.... second year started and two months in... everything went downhill from there simply because he forgot one detail.

This is an anime world.
