4 4. First conversation with the house




  It's been almost a year since I was born. If you ask me what I've done in the past year, I'd say it's been physical exercise and vocal exercises.

  Speaking of physical exercise, I did radio exercises morning, noon and night. From the end, it's just flapping my arms and legs around. But because of that, he was able to hold his head up and crawl for about three months.

  My range of motion has grown considerably since then.
  The room I'm in right now is upstairs, and the room next to mine is Ellis's room and the other side is the storeroom.

  My room is basically Chloe's or Ellis's, but sometimes neither of them are there, so I take advantage of that time to leave my room.

 And then I look around the house for things to do.
 Well, one of them will find me soon enough, though. After that, I ask them to hold me and take me to the one they are pointing at.

 The most surprising part of the house is the dragon's head, which is decorated in the center of the staircase that connects the first and second floors. The head alone was so large that it looked like it might be nearly two meters long.
 At that time, even I, who was a bit of an adult in spirit after my reincarnation, was pulled by the baby's body and cried a lot. Of course, I cried underneath.

 Chloe laughed at me and said, "Oh dear," but I was embarrassed to have my diaper changed, even though I'd gotten used to it.

 There are a lot of books in the storeroom, so Ellis told me to only look at them from the entrance, so Chloe won't let me in.

 The reason is because I went into the stacks without permission and touched a bunch of books without permission and broke them down.
 The problem is that all the broken books fell on top of me.

 The sound of that fall brought Ellis and Chloe into the stacks and when they saw me buried in the books, it was awesome.
 Ellis was crying harder than I'd ever seen her cry and retreating from the book on top of me at a tremendous pace, and Chloe had a rather impatient look on her face instead of her usual cool expression.
 On top of that, Nekomimi was squishy and so deflated that her tits didn't move even slightly.

 After that, Chloe said, "Through my carelessness, I have put Rei-sama in danger. Let me pay for it with my life.

 After I managed to convince them of Chloe's case as well, it was time for a sermon from the two of them.
 If I didn't go to the stacks alone with tears in my eyes by the two of them, I'd have no choice but to protect them if they convinced me to do so.

 But now that I think about it, I'm amazed that such a thick book fell on me and I was almost unscathed and safe.
 It seems to be pretty lucky in this world.

 As for my vocal training, it's going pretty well.
 I've just learned to speak some words, so I'm thinking it's time to show them off.

 Well, just in time for the
 I heard a knock at the door.
 Okay! Let's talk to the person who just walked in!

Master Ray, excuse me.

  Oh! Chloe!
  He's the most appropriate person to talk to.

'Ai~! Chloe~!

 Oops, I still can't pronounce "ha" properly. It needs practice. Hmm? I don't get a response from Chloe. I look at Chloe and see that catnip and tails, that's how much they stand up! I'm standing there like that. Shippo is bwa! And it's a good thing.

 Then, a few dozen seconds later, Chloe made a mad dash out of the room.
 What's going on? Did he remember to do something on short notice?

 I waited for a few minutes with that in mind.
 Suddenly, I heard a sound of someone running down the corridor, making a terrible noise.
  What is that? What has happened?

 Then the door was opened with great speed and it was his mother, Ellis, who came in.

'Ray-chan! I'm going to tell you the truth.

 Ah, Chloe left suddenly to go report to Ellis?

'Come on! Please call me Mom!

 He says that with a desperate look on his face, and I'm thinking, well, he's going to talk after all, and it's okay.

I responded with a smile, "Momma, that's it!

 And then Zucchy, Zucchy! And two mysterious sounds.
 I thought I heard it twice.

 When I looked at Ellis and Chloe who came in afterwards, I was surprised to see a delirious look on her face.
 I didn't know the corners of my eyes could drop that low! And Chloe's, in addition to that, her nekomimi are twitching and her tail is pinching. It's so cute.

Shit! d*mn you, Ray! I can't believe you love it! You're so cute! I'm sorry I wasn't the best, but I totally forgive you!

 Chloe is behind Ellis, who is so happy to hold me in her arms, and she says, "I'm the best. I'll pretend I didn't hear her saying something like, "I'm the best.
 Ellis seems to be too happy to hear it, too.

 I'm being cackled at by two beautiful women.
 My father, Zeke, came in too.

'Is it true what you say Ray spoke!

Yes, I am! He told me he loved me!

 When Zeke heard that, he looked a little envious, but returned to a serious face.

''Then, since you've grown up enough to talk, it looks like it's time to take you with us.

Yeah, sure.

 What is it? We just talked and you're supposed to go somewhere.

When are you free?

I think I'll be able to open the day of light next week.

So let's go to the Day of Light next week!

 Where do you think they're going?
 By the way, a week in this world is six days, with days of the week named after the basic magical attributes of fire, water, wind, earth, darkness and light. A month of 30 days is 360 days in a year and 12 months.
 A day of light is what we call a Sunday in a previous life.

'Ray. Next week on the Day of Light, me, Ellis and Chloe will go to the temple and get the status.

 Oh my! Such an important event is happening in a week's time!
 According to what I heard later, you get the status when you're about 1 year old.
 It uses physical and magical power to obtain status, so they have to be physically strong enough to crawl, and mature enough to speak.

 In the past, there was a story about a nobleman who wanted to start educating gifted children as soon as possible and took a newborn baby to a temple, forcing the baby to obtain a status, but as a result, the baby was depleted of physical and magical power and died.

 Since then, they've tried to have them seen at roughly one year old, and no more children have died.

 I mean, that's bad. They're going to know my talent is inside. It's starting to get a little depressing.

'Oh no! This should be fun! What a talent Ray has!

'Yes! After all, he's your son!

No, no! It's because Ellis worked so hard to bring it into being!

"You.

Ellis.

 No, no, no, didn't I say before that you shouldn't create a lovey-dovey atmosphere in front of your kids?
 No, I guess I didn't say it then because I had just been born.

 Huh, please don't get your hopes up! I'm just a very normal boy.

 Thinking about that, you can get me from Ellis.
 Chloe took me in her arms.

'Huh, this is going to be fun! Master Ray!

 And it looked like I was looking forward to it quite a bit.

 It's heartbreaking to discourage people who care about me this much, but I guess I can't help it. I can't help it, because there's nothing I can do about it.
 Ahhh! Really depressing!
 I'm going to sleep unfaithfully in Chloe's happy space.
