Arc 1: Abydos Student Council prologue

I was reincarnated. That's what I thought when I was about three years old. That was when I became aware of things. Rather than being reincarnated, it was more like I was remembering memories from my past life, so perhaps my brain had grown a little and was now able to understand memories from my past life.

Memories of my previous life and the past three years became muddled, and as I looked around in a bit of confusion, I suddenly noticed two things.

The first thing I want you to know here is that in my previous life I was a Japanese man.

"What, it's gone...?"

　Yes, the partner who lived with me in my previous life, my son, had disappeared. In other words, he had become a girl.

"Is this a Halo?"

　I had a halo, a patterned halo of an angel, on my head. Hearing this alone, you might think I had been reborn as an angel.

　However, the two elements of the patterned angel halo and the girl reminded him of one game from his past life.

"No way,"

I looked out the nearby window and saw the clear blue sky, and there was a huge halo floating in the sky.

"A TS reincarnation in the world of Blue Archive?!"

　Yes, Blue Archive is a school story set in a transparent world. If you only hear about it, it doesn't seem like there's anything particularly problematic about it, but in reality, it's a gun-loving society where people without guns are rarer than people walking around naked, and the security situation is terrible. Furthermore, it's a ridiculous world where even one wrong move by the teacher, the protagonist of Blue Archive, can lead to a bad ending and the world can be destroyed.

　In my previous life, I loved Blue Archive, so I was happy when I realized this, but more than that, I didn't want the world to be destroyed and die in the process.

　However, after taking a moment to sort out the situation around me and my confused thoughts I realized something. It was possible that the timeline of the original work had already passed, or that this timeline was before the events the original work. In fact, if I thought about it calmly, that was probably the more likely possibility.

　The world of Blue Archive is the so-called Sazae-san timeline, but that's just a story in a game. If it were real, it would be a story that would pass in a year, and it's highly unlikely that that year would come in my lifetime. As a Blue Archive fan, I'm a little, no, quite sad that I'd be reincarnated into Kivotos and not be able to meet any of the original characters, but considering the risk of encountering them the moment the world ends, it's within the acceptable range.

Being born in Kivotos means there's probably nothing you can do about the poor security situation, but with a Halo, you shouldn't be able to die so easily from a bullet.

　Realizing these facts helped me to calm down a little. I suddenly wondered what I looked like and what the shape of my halo was, so I went over to the mirror in my room. I could tell that I had a halo because of its position, but it was difficult to see its exact shape.First, the halo. Hmm, there's a pattern in the center that reminds me of the sun, with diamonds surrounding that pattern. And then there's a halo that surrounds all of those. It's beautiful, but somehow it feels like a shape I've seen in my past life...?　

　And it was the first time I saw my own face, and I thought it was really cute. Despite being young, her face was well-formed and gentle, and she had beautiful, light blue hair with a greenish tint and a distinctive ahoge...?　

　I had a bad feeling about this. I couldn't stop sweating.

　The view from the window earlier was that of a cluster of cities covered in sand. Based on this information and my memories from my previous life, it was highly likely that I was in the Abydos Autonomous Region.

　This sun-like halo. A gentle face. And this hair color with its distinctive ahoge. And to top it all off, she's from the Abydos Autonomous Region.I know only one student who fits all of these characteristics.

"Could it be...? No, it must be a coincidence..."

　As if to escape reality, I look for differences between her and myself.

　There's a way to find out... That's right! The name. If only I could confirm my name!　

　I try to search for memories from the past three years since I was reincarnated. Compared to my memories from my previous life, my memories from this life are shallow and I only spent my time peacefully, so they are starting to fade a little within me.

　And finally I remembered my name

"K...kuchinashi...yume..."

What a surprise! Not only was i born in the original timeline, but i was also a student who appeared in the original works. It seems that this wasn't just a case of reincarnation, but a case of a possession type reincarnation.

　No, this is not the time to be saying that. The problem is that even among the students who appear in the original work, Yume is the only student who only appears in flashbacks and had a confirmed death .

　A student named kuchinashi Yume. In Kivotos, where the concept of death is supposedly far removed, her death is the only one clearly depicted in the official history. What's more, the reason for her death is an incredibly stupid one: she was careless and forgot her compass, got lost in the desert, and eventually died of heatstroke and dehydration. This will leave a deep emotional scar on her future juniors, and it's unbearable to watch.

　The problem here is that she is already dead when she appears in the original work.

I don't want to die, even if it means preventing the world from being destroyed, but as I said earlier, if sensei makes one wrong move in this Kivotos, or if something causes the gears to go slightly out of sync, the world could easily be destroyed. In other words, if I survive, the world might be destroyed.

　That's a bit ridiculous. However, based on my knowledge of the original work, there is one clear advantage to me in saying that kuchinashi Yume survives .

　One bad ending I know of involves a future kouhai who is turned into a Terror by the trauma of of her senpai's death. If I survived, i could have at least avoid this bad ending. And the future kouhai. No, Takanashi Hoshino's ending, as far as I know, was far from completely redeeming.

　So in this world line, it's me, no, I.

I'll make Hoshino happy.

And I'll do my best to prevent the world from being destroyed. That's what I've decided.

But, that being said, let me say one thing.

"Why did it have to be possession type reincarnation and why does it have to be Yume-senpai?!"

　Yes, I'll be honest, in my previous life I was a fan of Takanashi Hoshino, and I loved the interactions between the two, Yume and Hoshino. If i was able to come to Kivotos, there is a high probability that I would meet Hoshino. However, when I realized I'd been reincarnated into the world of Blue Archive, I was overjoyed at the thought that I might be able to see in person the interactions between Yume-senpai and Hoshino that weren't told in the original work. But it seems I won't be able to see them if i was Yume in the first place.

　Besides, I'll never be able to become a saint like Yume-senpai in the original work. I wonder if I can be a good enough influence to turn Hoshino, who has a sharp past, into a laid-back old man. I'm very worried.

Hoshino was called" the abyssal dreamer" on the internet, but I'm much more of an "abyssal dreamer" too. Or rather, I'm aiming to be like her even though I know I'll never be able to be her, so I'm much more of a Dreamer.

　However, if I fail, Abydos High School will be closed by the time Hoshino arrives. And if that happens, the world will be destroyed in a flick of a Switch, so unfortunately, there is no way I can just not try my best.

　I was born into a crazy world.

"For now, I need to write down my knowledge of the original work somewhere before I forget it."

　Knowledge of the original work, or should I say knowledge of the future in this case. Without these, I would never be able to do it well and the world would be destroyed. It would be impossible to remember everything by the time I reach high school, so I have to write it down somewhere. But I also have to make sure that no one finds it. If a bad adult, like someone from gematria, were to see something like this, I would definitely become a target.

After much consideration, i decided on the future and safety of Kivotos.

　The first is to get stronger and get used to fighting until I reach high school. In the original work, Yume-senpai was not good at rough work, so I am already far removed from her. However, as someone who plans to try various things to prevent the world from being destroyed, I cannot afford not to get stronger. Also, as a Japanese person, there is no way I would be able to fight well if I suddenly picked up a gun. I have to gain experience.

　Second, although I don't know what will happen after I graduate, I want to somehow stay in Kivotos and help the sensei. If i survived. I will destroy the original works, so I must take responsibility for that.

　I've given a noble reason, but the real reason is that if Kivotos were to be destroyed because of me, I'd feel guilty. I'll never be able to become someone like sensei...

　With these thoughts in mind, my life in Kivotos began.
