Edo Rebirth Record ~ I Thought I Was Reborn in a Fantasy World, but I'm the Child of a Daimyo!? Wait? That's not what was supposed to happen? But Then It Turned Out to Be a Fantasy After All, You See~

A closeted otaku police inspector died in the line of duty. As a result, he was reincarnated into another world. He was delighted at the prospect of going to the 'sword and sorcery fantasy' world he had always dreamed of, but he was reborn in an Edo-period-style town instead. "Wait, that's not what was supposed to happen!" Despite thinking this, he was born into a reasonably good position as the seventh son and fourth male child of a great daimyo family. Using the knowledge and skills from his previous life, he planned to cheat his way through internal administration and martial arts and achieve great things! With such sweet expectations in his heart, he realized he was still just a child after all. For now, he decided to live his days at ease. ...Such is this story. This story is a grand prologue tale depicting the growth of a boy who would later become a great hero... perhaps. This work has passed the first round of screening for the Fifth Net Novel Award, First HJ Net Novel Award, HJ Net Award 2018, Sixth HJ Novel Award, and First Manga BANG Comics × AVEX PICTURES Web Novel Award, and has advanced to the second round of screening for the Eighth Kinetic Novel Award Fiction Division. At the latest chapter, the protagonist is ten years old by Japanese age (eight years old by Western age). This is a slow-life fantasy where a child with an old man's mind gets involved in or witnesses various troubles while living peacefully. We hope you will enjoy it. This work is fiction and has no connection whatsoever to real persons, organizations, place names, incidents, or other entities. Additionally, this work contains expressions including parodies and homages to various works. These are written with respect for their origins, and contain no ill intent, but in light of the current regulations of "Narou," I will not explicitly state the original sources. We ask that readers also refrain from clearly pointing these out in their comments, and instead use indirect expressions. ...Besides, writing about this sort of thing is rather inelegant, isn't it?
