Chapter 5 – Shocking TruthI fill my stomach with milk and train my muscles while sleeping. I want to stand up with my own legs as soon as possible.
*Pico pico* Moving my short legs and swinging my hands up and down.
When speaking of exercising that"s about what I can do, I can"t even turn around.
But I"m different from an ordinary baby, I got nutrition from cow"s milk.
In other words, it"s an unbalanced unusual nutrition. That is, it leaded me to have lack of stamina.
I easily fall into overwork and ends up sleeping as if I had fainted.
As I continued to do that every day, I was finally able to roll over and *mozo mozo*[1] it became possible to move.
Little by little I got both my hands and my legs to move as I desired.
So I, in order to realize another dream of mine, decided to take action.
That is magic.
In my previous life, unfortunately my talent to magic was really inexistent.
Although I studied under the magic expert Maxwell, he reached the conclusion that I was completely talentless and told me to give up on all my experience in learning magic.
However in this life, I"m the child of Maria.
That is to say, there"s a high possibility that I have a hidden talent for magic.
Maria masterized sacred techniques based on her religious beliefs, but sacred magic is still magic.
I never studied under Maria, but all the knowledge I got studying with Maxwell still remains.
Closing my eyes to enter in a meditative state, I started to explore the existence of magical power inside of myself.
Then I was able to feel something similar to a hot energy somewhere in the interior of my body, under the belly b.u.t.ton.
—-Oh, is this magic power?
Before I wasn"t able to feel it even if I forced my senses, so naturally I felt my tension rising.
To transform it I drew a magi symbol form in my mind, as magic is manifested by adding a spell designing power and range, but…
I had a hard time manipulating this.
As I try to extend the hand of consciousness to the magical power at the bottom of my body, the magical power escapes and disperses.
But I won"t give up with just this. In the first place, my tenacity is unusual.
Since I can"t move my body skillfully yet, the only thing I can do is magic training.
Different from before where I couldn"t even feel my magical power, at least I should be able to manifest magic.
And then, I should have inherited the talent to use swords from Lyel, and I also have my own fighting experience in this body.
Thinking about it, I have the potential to be stronger than anyone, I can"t stop my training here.
I kept receiving warm milk from Maria, though there was a humiliating story where she changed my diaper, at least half year had pa.s.sed, I cursed that self-proclaimed G.o.d.
I was seated and moved my neck to look around, putting power into my body I was able to use my upper body, on that day I saw my lower body for the first time.
What appeared from under the diaper Maria was exchanging with her hands…..No, what didn"t appeared was the little male genitalia appropriate for my age… Nothing, simply nothing. No, there had a valley.
In other words, what I want to say is that I"m a girl.
"AUUUUUuuuuu?!"
"Kyaa! What happened, Nicole? Screaming all of sudden"
To me who suddenly falls into panic, Maria came to look at me with a worried expression. However, there"s no problem with my body itself.
No, for me there"s all kind of problems, but for her it"s just a normal occurrence.
Exchanging my diapers in a hurry, I was lying face down while sobbing.
A feared a.s.sa.s.sin who was once called … to a girl? What kind of funny story is that?!I who freely control mythril steel threads, which are said to be sharper than the Holy Sword, I even caught Colchis that way…
"DAAAUUUUUuuuu…."
"I don"t quite understand, but… Are you crying?"
*Pon Pon* Maria taps my back and try to comfort me.
It"s the same as in my previous life, this kindness now is sad.
Speaking of that, Nicole is a name that is used both for men and women, but it"s also used a lot more for women.
I"m really stupid for not noticing until now…. No, I couldn"t confirm my own gender by myself looking at this baby"s story.
In other words, this was an act of G.o.d.
Being born as a girl, that is. For half a year, I didn"t notice this fact.
In my previous life: Born as a man, talentless and a failure with the sword, choose to masterize the steel thread art as my fighting style.
In my current life: Born as a woman, inherited my extremely talented parents" blood, and will receive gifted education from heroes.
I can say my completely opposite life started from this moment.
