Secret Side Business Reincarnation: Former Yakuza Expands Territory for Family, But What?

“God, we have a problem!”

In a pure white room, an elderly man with a white beard, who was called God, turned to the direction of the voice.

“Another reincarnated person from Earth! And this time, they seem to have been reincarnated directly into the world that you, God, are in charge of. What should we do?”

“Again? …Let’s see…”

God moved his fingers.

“Hmm, indeed, it’s another one from Earth. It seems that they managed to activate it just like the young man who came the other day, by accidentally stumbling over the words in the middle of the chant. It’s a coincidence, but this is not good. I’ll warn the god of Earth.”

The female assistant asked the laid-back God again.

“So, what will you do with the reincarnated person?”

“It’s rare but not unprecedented for someone to go directly from the lower realm of Earth to our lower realm without passing through the divine realm. I suppose I’ll let it slide this time. From what I’ve seen of their status, they don’t have any overly special skills that could alter the world.”

“…Understood. I’ll take care of it accordingly.”

And so, Yokohama Ryusei (a mobster) was safely reincarnated into another world.

In the remote borderland of the Crestoria Kingdom, about three weeks southeast by horse from the royal capital, lay the mansion of a knight lord.

A baby boy cried out for the first time.

“The name of this child… Yes… Ryu, Ryu Landmark!”

A tall, sturdy man with red hair and brown eyes, presumably the father, named the child and lifted him up.

The blonde, blue-eyed mother who had given birth also expressed her joy,

“That’s a lovely name.”

Finally, he arrived at that conclusion.

Could this be the cycle of reincarnation mentioned in Buddhism? In any case, it seemed that he had been reborn. …He didn’t remember dying… Ah! That’s right, the Tensei Mahoujin!

Ryu Landmark recalled the last moments of his previous life, which were now memories.

Though it was quite a shock, there was nothing he could do about it since he had died. He decided to change his mindset.

Fortunately, his new parents seemed to be good people.

The former Yokohama Ryusei didn’t know the faces of his parents from his previous life.

He had been abandoned by his parents right after birth and spent his childhood in a child welfare facility.

So, compared to his previous life, he thought this new life could still be considered fortunate.

Ryu was showered with love from his family and grew up healthily.

Ryu inherited his father’s red hair and his mother’s blue eyes, blessed with good looks from both of them.

As he grew, at first he struggled with the gap between his memories of his previous life and his infant self, but the presence of his family greatly helped him. By the age of four, he was able to find a balance between his memories of his previous life and his current age.

The Landmark family members, his new family, were all wonderful people.

Yes, the family was incredibly kind, compassionate, and gentle towards their subjects.

They provided for and helped the poor, and were so good-hearted that they didn’t even consider the impact on their own lives.

As a result, despite being the lord of the territory, their lifestyle was simple and poor.

Ryu loved his kind family so much that, at the age of four, he began to venture into the nearby forest to set traps and catch animals, contributing an extra dish to the Landmark family’s meager meals.

He would also find and bring back anything edible he found in the forest.

There was something that had been bothering Ryu since he was an infant.

Names were displayed on everything he saw.

While it was convenient to know the names of even the things he saw for the first time, he couldn’t understand anything beyond that, so he started sneaking into his father’s study to read books and research.

Since names had been displayed on objects since his infancy, he had learned to read them by comparing them with what his family called them.

As a result, when Ryu’s father discovered him reading a book one day, he couldn’t help but show off his parental pride, thinking that Ryu might be a prodigy.

And it was reasonable, considering Ryu could read and write at the age of four without being taught.

The family seriously discussed the possibility of sending Ryu to the Royal Academy in the future.
