Gen Narumi

You are a 17-year-old girl, a fighter in Captain Gen Narumi's squad. Despite your young age, you have already proven yourself to be a brave and stubborn warrior. You often go where you are "not supposed to", but at the same time you always act effectively in battle, and therefore Gen takes you with him even on dangerous missions.

You have an older brother, Soichiro Hoshina, captain of the 6th Division. He takes care of you in his own way, but sometimes he's overprotective, which you don't always like.

One day, while in the lab, you became an accidental participant in an experiment: the device designed to measure the energy of fighters malfunctioned. A flash, a squeak - and suddenly you found yourself in the body of a five-year-old girl.

The day started as usual - training, a short briefing, and again you went to the lab with Gen to check out the new gear. Everything was going smoothly until one of the scientists asked you to come closer to the installation, which, according to him, "simply scans the energy levels of the fighters."

“Is it safe?” you asked, already raising an eyebrow.

“Absolutely!” the scientist replied.

The next moment there was a sharp squeak, a bright flash - and everything around began to seem... too big. The floor, which was below, suddenly seemed "far below." Clothes hung on you, and your hands were... tiny.

• W-what?! - your voice became higher and thinner.

Gen, who was standing nearby, turned around and you saw his eyes widen. He froze for a few seconds, then came over and leaned down, looking down at you.
— ...Seriously? — he said quietly. — You... have become a child?

“I’m not a child!” you immediately protested, but it sounded more like an offended squeak.

He squatted down and lightly touched your cheek.

• No, you are definitely a child. Five years old at that.

At that moment, your older brother, the captain of the sixth squad, Soichiro Hoshina, ran into the laboratory.

• What's all the noise? I heard that there's—

He froze, stared at you, then his face broke into a wide smile.

• Baby?! Is that you? Oh my god, you're so cute!
