A/N: Hello, welcome to 'Under the Sky'! This is my second English fic. I hope my English has some improvement from the last one, ehe.

It was a surprise at first. And it took him awhile that yes, he has been reincarnated. Along with his previous life's memories.
Then, comes the second surprise.
He's a girl.
And it took him more awhile to accept the fact about his new gender.
(Consider he has more than one of female Persona, well, it doesn't take a long time.)
With different gender and different life, she's not surprise she has another name.
Kato Nanami. Her new name.
Her new parents and closed family always call him 'Nana-chan'.
'At least it's not Nanako,' she consoling herself. It seems the Fate isn't that cruel to named her with a same name like her cousin.
"Nana-chan, are you excited to go to your new school?" Asked he new mother from the table, Kato Tsubame. Beside her was her new father, Kato Hiroto.
She wonders if she can converts her new parents to call her 'Nami-chan' instead.
(Despite not naming as Nanako, the nickname is too close to comfort.)
"Yes," She answer her new mother's question. Today is her first day of kindergarten. And actually, she is not excited to repeat the education. But, she is excited to be able to get out of the house for a long time. Not after that incident in which prohibited her to get out of the house. "And, Kaa-san?"
"Hmm?"
"Can you and Tou-san to call me 'Nami' instead of 'Nana'?"
"Welcome to Tsukimori Kindergarten!" Greeted a young woman with brown hair. "My name is Yamada Ayumu, one of the teacher in here."
Her new mother nodded at the teacher. "My name is Kato Tsubame, and this is my daughter, Nanami."
Hearing that, she took a small step, and bowed. "A pleasure to meet you, Yamada-sensei."
Yamada squealed slightly at her. "My! You're so polite!" Praised the teacher with a beaming smile. "Well then, say goodbye to your mother, Kato-chan."
She nodded at her, then turning her head to see her mother.
"I'll see you again, Na...mi-chan." It will took awhile for her parents to call her 'Nami' instead of 'Nana'. And despite she has stumbled saying her preferred nickname, she's happy to see the effort from her.
"See you, Kaa-san." And thank you.
Tsubame smiled, hearing the silent gratitude from her.
Seeing her mother's figure leaving her, she turned her attention back to the building. She sighed inwardly.
Is she really need to repeat the same progress, again?
Being reincarnated with previous memories is shocking. Being reincarnated with different gender is more shocking.
But seeing not only one, but three familiar faces in the class is more, more shocking.
"Yuu-kun?" Gasped the two girls at the same time.
"Partner?!" Gasped another one.
It seems, not only the three of them are reincarnated with their memories, but also capable recognising her despite her physical differences.
"To think that Yuu-kun not only reincarnated but also a girl in this new life..." Commented the brown haired girl in green jacket the moment they able to to secure a small space under a sakura tree.
"Snnrk!"
The brown haired boy sighed at the weird laughing from their black haired girl. "At least you looks healthy, Partner," He paused. "Physically, I mean." His voice sound calm, but he knows that her second-in command is worried about her mentality.
"I'll be alright." She answered. "What about you guys?"
"Well, despite having a same body and name? It's more like a time-traveling to me," said the brown haired boy, Hanamura Yosuke. "I mean, my parents and family are still same like the previous one. But, I know that I'm not raised in a small town like Tsukimori."
"Just like what he said," Continued the brown haired girl, Satonaka Chie. "Yukiko and I definitely aren't raised in Tsukimori. And the last time I checked, there's no Inaba in here."
Hearing her name mentioned, she stopped her laughing. "And no Junes either," Added the black haired girl, Amagi Yukiko. "Which is weird, because Junes and Yosuke-kun is in the same connotation. Along with Teddie and Nanako-chan."
"Believe it or not, my parents are still working in the department store, and no it's not Junes," Yosuke added hastily, seeing the looks he received. "Before, it was only my dad, and now, it's two of them. And in Before, he's a manager. But in Here," He paused. "He is the founder and the CEO."
"So, in other words, you're rich now, right?" Chie commented after a minute of silence.
"Ugh, no," Yosuke shook his head. "Currently, we only have one. If we can survive in ten years, my dad said he probably will open another branch."
She hums. "Good luck for your parents then, Yosuke."
Yosuke grinned. "Thanks, Partner," Then he turned his attention to the black haired girl. "What about you, Yukiko-chan?" He asked. "Just like you, I've checked, and there's no Amagi Inn."
"We will have an inn in three years, more or less," Answered the black haired girl. "Currently, my main family business is a hotel chain, Akiyama Hotel."
"That famous hotel?" She asked. "The one of the best four hotel in the world? Wow, that's incredible, Yukiko-chan."
"Thank you," said Yukiko with a smile. "To be honest, Amagi is one of the branch family of Akiyama. The current family head has decided to make an inn in Tsukimori and leaving the business to my family. If the result is good, they might opened another branch in another city under the name of Amagi."
"And unlike Before," said Chie when the others turning their heads towards her. "My family business is in the police department."
"So, you're not the first policewoman in your family then, Chie-chan?"
"Yup."
"What about you, Yuu-kun?" asked Chie after her turn is done.
"My dad is still a businessman, and my mom is still a lawyer," She said. "Despite having a great differences between their names, physical traits, and family history, everything is still looks same."
And right after she said, the bell rang.
"Well, looks like our break is over," mused Yosuke as the four of them walk together to the class. "Wanna talk after the school is over?"
Hearing the 'yes' from the three girls, he smiled. "Great!"
"How's your day, Nami-chan?" asked her father in dinner.
"It was great," Said their daughter with a smile. "I met Yosuke, Chie-chan, and Yukiko-chan."
They paused.
Both the parents paused for two reason. One, from the tone she used. And two, the names that has mentioned by their daughter. Because, their daughter is really, really, rarely to mention a name. And today, on her first day of kindergarten, she not only mention one name, but three names.
They must truly has impressed their daughter.
"Really?" Tsubame trying to sound normal, trying to not letting her daughter seeing her mother how excited she is. "Can you tell us about them?"
(Her baby girl is finally having friends! As in, more than one! It seems moving in a small town like this is a great decision for them.)
(Under the table, she kicked her husband knee in excitement. In which he responded with stepping her foot.)
"Yosuke is fun," said their daughter after she sipped her drink. "And Chie-chan is strong, while Yukiko-chan is pretty."
The patriarch of Kato paused once again. "'Yosuke'?" He asked slowly. That sound really like a boy's name. A boy's name without honorific.
"Yes," Nami nodded at him. "Yosuke." She repeated the name without explanation.
From the corner of his eyes, he saw his wife making a gleeful expression.
"Is this 'Yosuke' a boy, Nami-chan?" Asked his wife with a glint in her eyes.
Their daughter startled, seeing the glint in her mother's eyes. "...Yes he is. Kaa-san. Why?"
And that was the last straw for his wife. "KYAA! MY BABY HAS GROWN UP!"
"No!" He shouted, in reply to his wife outburst. "NO! I'll not let her! Not that fast!" Then, he turned his attention to his sweet, beautiful, baby girl. "Listen here, sweetheart. You are forbidden to grown up. No question. And that's final from me."
"Umm..."
"No! Don't listen to your father, Nami!"
