Childhood Period: Striving even though I'm a child and don't understand my results

POV Teacher's

-"There's always a first time for everything, but I didn't think it would apply to these situations."

Two children were holding hands in front of me: a crying girl and a boy with a very serious face.

-That's the situation, then, teacher.

-*Sniff* Sorry for not speaking earlier.

-Calm down, Himejima-kun, it's not your fault; you're the victim here.

The girl started crying again, while the boy raised his hand to caress her head.

-"Saeko, you're very strong for explaining the whole situation in less than a day."

-I'm sorry... I'm shorry...

-Alright, calm down; we're here for you.

-"Although I know he's a child, he behaves like an adult in these kinds of situations and handles it better than I do."

-"Although it seemed strange that he asked me for a towel during snack time, now he brings a girl with a strong statement."

The girl calmed down faster as her face was wiped by the towel in Kaito's hand; her breathing began to regulate.

-"I understand that she's Nikkei, but I didn't expect this kind of rejection from her classmates."

-Listen, teacher, they ignore her through the teachers, so this harassment continues, but I hope you can talk to her parents to put an end to this.

-"Every day I listen to this child, it makes me think about how to improve my vocation." Yes, don't worry, I'll talk to the other teacher.

Arranging the papers on the desk, they left through the door, asking for my permission.

-"That boy needs to be careful; I can't let him become a problematic adult with that charisma he has."

Flipping through the pages I held, I looked at a drawing with normal handwriting but very colorful doodles.

-"Even at this age, he can already write very well, but..."

Looking closely at the writing, the larger male figure had Dad instead of father, the same in the case of the mother.

-"Does he have respect for any adult?"

-"Well, it's decided. I have to deal with Himejima's issue first; then, I'll give a class to everyone so they can respect me."

*********************************************

-Guys, I know we're halfway through the year, but I hope you get along well.

~Yes.~

-"I see that it's always reliable to talk to an adult in these kinds of situations."

A girl with half-white hair tied back, adorned with a white bear as a headband and blue irises, was in front of the entire class.

-"During snack time, I introduced her to everyone, and they accepted her very quickly. These days, we started playing with her, and now she's in the orange class."

-I hope we get along much better.

Taking short steps, she walked towards the desk where I was sitting, taking a seat behind me.

-"In the game, they describe her as a very restless character, always helping everyone. It seems like it all started from kindergarten, trying to please everyone."

-Kirijima-kun, I hope I can count on you now.

-"I must say that everything went well". You know you can call me Kai.

-Yes...

She lowered her head, joining both hands, hiding her eyes.

-"Although I already have a mental note not to pressure women anymore, I don't know how to treat her at this moment. When I tried to talk to the teacher after snack time, she insisted on going with me, but I think I pushed her to speak that way."

-"Everyone involved was notified. The bullies' parents seemed to be in favor of the harassment, but I must say that women in these situations are scary; my mom and her mother left the present adults in tears."

-"Saeko spoke and emphasized how I 'saved' her. It's embarrassing to say, but it seems like she never had friends, and now her parents are more than happy to know that she's changing. Her mother thanked me in person, and it seems like she started getting along with my mom."

- *Pat pat* Well, kids.

The teacher, applauding, brought me back to reality while writing pronouns on the chalkboard - you, me, us, and sir all.

-"I have to stop overthinking things so much. I lose myself quickly in my thoughts."

-Today, we'll learn how to address people, so pay attention. You're at a point where it's important to know how to address adults, okay?

~Yes.~

All the children raised their hands, responding to the teacher.

-"Ohh, now that I think about it, have I been rude to my dad and mom? Well, I don't know if the fact that I never had a father figure is an excuse, but I'm rude."

-"Well, today I'll fix this mistake."

Feeling a hand on my shoulder pulling at my clothes, I turned my head to see the girl behind me.

-K...k...k.....k....a....

-*sigh* You can keep calling me Kirijima, Saeko.

Even with her head still lowered, she nodded in response.

-"I don't like the idea of forcing someone to do something they dislike, especially a girl like her."

Pov Manami

Taking off my sky-blue shirt, the man carefully folded it over the bed to avoid wrinkles.

- Darling, don't forget to be polite.

- Come on, Ritsuko, you can't treat me like a brute forever.

Slipping on a white T-shirt, he turned to look at the woman dressed in a complete black suit, legs crossed, with the appearance of a teenager and intense black hair.

- Even if I'm not a good example, I'm glad to know that the apple didn't fall far from the tree.

- Kai-chan surprises me; he can handle situations better than I can. Besides, the way he expresses himself sounds like an adult.

Approaching the woman, the man takes her hands and intertwines their fingers.

- But he's just a child; he was excited to know that we would go out just him and me.

The woman, leaning in towards the man, gives him a kiss on the cheek, still holding hands.

- Our child sees this as an adventure, and I like that, Ritzuko. He appears very mature in his way of speaking, but I don't want him to lose that innocence yet.

The woman, leaning against the man's chest, brings her entire body closer without letting go of their hands.

- I think I'm not a good mother.

- You calm down; I have to go on my adventure with our son.

....

Walking in front of a school, children come out one after another accompanied by their parents.

- "Where could Kai be?"

A boy with black hair and gray eyes walks out with calm steps in my direction; something noteworthy about the boy is his round face and slim body.

- Kai, come here.

Standing in front of the boy, I offered him my hand to walk while a teacher accompanied him on the side.

- It looks like you had fun again today, Kai, but we have homework to do.

- Of course, Father, sir.

Hearing those words, I lowered my gaze, although the teacher seemed satisfied with the boy's response.

- What did you call me, Kai?

- I'm sorry, father, but did I speak incorrectly, sir?
