On the Compatibility of Mind Reading and Mind Control

[This story updates at 6 p.m. every night. Three chapters will be released on the 11th to celebrate going premium.]

Hello, everyone.

I'm nothing special, just a resident of a small country in the Far East.

The only thing that might set me apart is that I didn't drink Meng Po's Soup of Forgetfulness before reincarnating. Or maybe the soup I drank was watered down.

I don't remember my past life, but I'm not as clueless as an ordinary baby, either.

I may also have put my skill points in the wrong place during reincarnation.

Because I've discovered that everything around me is in chaos. People aren't the only ones talking; tables and chairs talk, too, along with some truly eyesore-inducing monsters.

I can turn this ability off, but only after I grow up. In short, it keeps malfunctioning from time to time.

Like right now.

My biological twin brother is sharing his thoughts on the world...

[Ah... That ceiling beam looks like a nice place to end it all. Huh? Is little brother looking over here?]

That's right. My twin brother seems to be a suicidal maniac, and he's terribly curious about me.

Honestly, it's a little annoying.

But I still love him.

Tsushima Shuji's diary:

X month X day. It's a sunny day.

Little brother's spacing out again. Is he an idiot?

X month X day. Father is losing his temper again. Sigh, what a useless man.

X month X day. I passed a little river today. It looked so cool and inviting. I really wanted to jump in and have a soak. But for some reason, little brother was looking at me like I was a pervert?

Tsushima Yuji's diary:

A new family. Not a nice one at all. Father is a rigid, short-tempered man. Mother has never shown her face. She seems to hate us very much.

Hmm...

My older brother is probably a pervert.

So perhaps I am one too, since I love him?

Pairing undecided. A family-focused story about raising a child.

Theme: Strive to be a good young person of the new era.
