Day 1093: Just another boring and mindless day of school, with the teachers teaching me what I already know, my peers ignoring me, and the usual loner lifestyle… Fortunately, Skadi and our little sister accompanied me during break time, making the time bearable for me. Although… My mood worsened when Eagir's friends appeared and started… Shit, I forgot the word… Let's just say calling bad names at me like my previous life's peers.
Oh damn, a shiver just went through me after writing that last sentence… Cringe, never thought I would one day describe it that way... Been forgetting more and more Japanese words lately… Which is bad since this is the only way I can safely write without worrying about anybody else reading it.
Ahem, getting way too off topic there, anyway Skadi didn't take the name callings well and weeeellllll… Let's just say that they should be glad that there weren't any deaths.
Or hospital visits.
…Haaaaaaahhh, while I'm glad Eagir is a social butterfly with other 5 year olds compared to me and Skadi… I just wish she doesn't interact with the bad crowds. Not to say that those kids are bad but…
I've seen what those kinds of kids grow up to, just saying.
Anyway, the pain from using my power has decreased… Though, I have this nagging feeling that something isn't right… Maybe something's wrong with my body, really wish that I can go get my body checked out, but I haven't found any information relating to humans in Terra, though that might be because of Aegir and its isolationist life, and I really don't want to find out that I got something highly valuable in me that people can use, which ends up with me being experimented on by a bunch of scientists.
No thank you to that kind of life.
Of course, I could very well be paranoid and everything goes well like those damn Isekai protagonists, but this isn't a manga or light novel. I got no such thing as plot armor or anything like that helping me, only this damn goddess that I'm convinced would just leave me to die if it entertains her enough then go get a new plaything.
…Really wish that I can just ignore her but she's my only ticket to getting back to Earth. I can't just leave that life behind… Leave Komachi behind, all because a damned truck picked me.
Anyway, I just have to keep in mind that everybody here looks human but they actually aren't, in terms of physically that is. Mentally, they're like humans… Really unfortunate actually, since humans are way too stupid. I just have to keep on avoiding medical checkups like usual or go for the ones that don't take my blood or scan my body.
…Actually, knowing my luck, it's almost guaranteed that somehow somewhere somebody got a blood sample of me from one of my previous fights. Just randomly finding my own blood and having an insane biology of something that allows them to detect that my blood is unique and bingo, I got a whole ass secret agency on my ass.
…Ok, um, that's a little too paranoid for me. I blame it on me reading too much trash weeb stuff that the internet pumped out.
…Still not taking any chances!
Oh yeah, I finally found a spacious and hidden area for me to summon my vehicle, though it's pretty far out from my house. But, the feeling of finally being able to summon the Sam system and inspecting it in its true form was worth the leg pain. Unfortunately, I can't test out the missiles since we're under water and living inside a dome that separates me from being crushed to death by water pressure and living, so I would very much like to not destroy the place if I can help it.
…Though, I expect the people in charge of the dome to destroy this place first rather than the Seaborn or me for that matter.
Incompetent and greedy bunch.
…Anyway, that's for future Hachiman to worry about. I'm just here to worry about this insane goddess and her psycho damnation fucking misery inducing that would drive me to insanity one day request of hers.
Luckily, her request only comes out whenever she's really bored since she doesn't want to interfere too much but damn it all when she does give out requests, it causes way too many problems for me to deal with. I still hate the time I had to explain why and how I sneaked into the Abyssal Hunters base just because you wanted to see the "behind the scenes stuff" as your justification.
Oi, that meter just went up… You're just enjoying my misery, you damn psycho.
Haaaaahh, why do I even bother with you. Moving on to a more productive and useful topic: my mother finally asked me what am I.
I told you before that I already knew she would ask me about it, but I didn't expect it to be so soon… Actually, why am I surprised? She called me weird when we just met after all, hell I should have expected for her to ask me even sooner actually.
That's Eir for you, my adoptive mother who has the respect and admiration of the Abyssal Hunters stationed here… Though, I'm willing to bet that they would be speechless if they know what she's like off work.
…Well, anyway, I think I can understand a bit on why those Isekai protagonist don't reveal their secrets, other than because the author wants to create tension in the story (a stupid method really), since I didn't tell her that I'm a human or reincarnated here, just shaking my head at her, because…
I'm scared. Scared that my paranoia would become true, scared that she will change once she knows, and… Scared that by knowing my secret, she and the rest would be in danger for some reason.
Did I mention before that I am really paranoid? Blame it on the internet.
Luckily, she just accepted my answer, most likely because I didn't try to lie to her by saying I was an Aegirian (a stupid lie that would only convince the most stupidest of people), but she did swore on her pride as an Aegirian that she only asked because she would like to know about me even more since she already knew I wasn't normal from the beginning and she won't ever tell anybody else unless I say so…
…Honestly? I was really tempted right then and there to talk about everything, my previous life, my annoyance at the goddess… Everything.
It's… Really tiring having to deal with this alone, you know…? Why was I picked when I thought I found a place I feel like I belong… I'm just a socially inept dead fish eyes human that repeatedly failed at socializing with people…
Also… I just… I really don't want to lie nor run away from my problems… My death already proved that I can just die at any point in life and almost immediately at that, so I want to live this life without any regrets… At least until I can go back…
Oh yeah, didn't I say that I wanted something genuine…? Man, can't believe I almost forgot about that… Something that came to being because of Yukino and Yui helping me.
Well, honorary mention of Sensei here for forcing me into the club and starting it all.
…Huh, now that I think about it, it has been 3 years now since I last got this diary… So, 6 years living on this planet, 6 years since that damned truck ran me over, 6 years of living with this (my) new family…
Hey Diary… I told you before that my memories of them are getting blurry, right? Sometimes, I would get confused on whether Yukino had black hair or orange, did Yui have bun-style hair or just straight-style, Iroha and her eyes, and more. I can't really remember my previous parents since they were barely home most of the time but luckily, I can still remember Komachi perfectly.
…Really good that I can still remember Komachi… I can handle forgetting most of my previous life if I had to, but Komachi? Hell no, only when hell freezes over would I even consider forgetting her.
…Komachi was the reason I am (was) alive after all.
Ah damn, I'm at the end of the book. Guess I'll go buy a new diary tomorrow… Or maybe I should ask my adoptive grandparents if they got any spare books?
They're coming over tomorrow for Skadi's 7th birthday on Saturday after all. Might as well use the money to buy Skadi that big hat we saw the other day as her present.

A/N
And we are done with the prologue. A bit of a shame since I quite enjoyed writing this but meh, the plot must move on. So, in this one, I left a lot of information that roughly explains most of his life and *REDACTED*.
Also, if you know Skadi's backstory then you already know what's going to happen.
Anyway, on to the comments!
ALTER-BOT - *REDACTED* if I can reach that point
MSDeus - yep. Well, *REDACTED* but of course, I could change it if I find an idea more interesting. Yep, I mean 8man and Skadi are just 1 year apart, not that much difference. Oh don't worry, the goddess *REDACTED* but it's just a matter of when
DrackNath - ...I can't believe that I can perfectly understand your comment lol, and the reason I said the whole "it's not incest if they're not blood related" is because I got some flak for it back in my days. Also, don't worry about the wall of text since I'm used to reading very long wall of text lol
Hachiman fan - intentional, a bit of reference to 8man still getting confused over Kawasaki's name lol. Oh yeah, I have that fic in my library but haven't gotten to reading it yet. Thank you
