Chapter 6 – The little girl who stands on the ground (Bed)Since then, I short amount of time has pa.s.sed again.
I finally recovered from the impact of knowing I was born as a girl.
—–I"m certainly a girl. My chest is growing merely a little bit, it"ll not grow that much will it?
Half forcing myself to accept that, I returned to my daily training again.
*Pico Pico* Moving my limbs to build my muscular strength, and then training my magical power control before sleep.
Talking about magical power, there has been no response as usual, but I once had received a warning from Maxwell: "It won"t happen in a day".
To begin with, in my current stage I"m already far ahead my previous life since in that time I couldn"t even feel my magical power.
"Uuu~Dauu~"
"Jeez Nicole, your eyes are firm today. If you don"t go to sleep soon, you"ll feel sleepy later."
At night, I was practicing magical manipulation before going to sleep.
Somehow I felt like it was going to work today, so I put a little bit more of fighting spirit.
However, to such me who was not thinking in going to sleep, Maria takes me doubtfully.
"That"s right. If I don"t go to sleep soon, there"ll be a lot of troubles."
"Ara, dear. I was taking a look at Nicole."
"If it"s about this, she probably won"t care right?"
While Maria was carrying me on the double sized bed near the crib, Lyel leaked such lover"s talk.
You guys[1]… Are you going to do that here in this bed?
If it got like this, I obstinately won"t go sleep. Couples shall die, there"s no mercy.
I"m really determined—–When I realized, it was already morning.
That time I realized, a baby"s body can"t stay up until late at night.
Before I died, Maria was doing missionary work at a church in a remote region.
Because of the completely wreckage the evil dragon did in the three countries, it was not possible to establish them as a country anymore.
So we decided to unify the three countries into a single one, excluding Maxwell the five of us would govern it.
Of course, no one of us was indifferent when talking about power.
Fortunately, we confirmed the survival of a boy who draws the king’s blood line of one of the three countries, for that reason the boy was pushed to be the king, the n.o.bility that survived joined as his a.s.sistants and the nation rebuilding was abandoned.
But even for us, we weren"t cold-hearted enough to just pretend nothing happened.
When they asked for rescue, we ran to lend our power to them right away.
Even though Maxwell was in his own country, we could deal with any circ.u.mstances with just the five of us.
In the first place, it can be said that doesn"t exist an unsolvable problem when showing our names.
The inspection of the orphanage which was the cause of my death was the only job that ended with this kind of circ.u.mstances.
But it"s different now.
Receiving the shock of my death, Cortina went away from this territory, Maria gave birth, and the heroes" party almost got destroyed.
However, the young king had barely reorganized the national ident.i.ty[2] until the end of the year, so Lyel and Maria were able to retire without worries.
Now they are fully enjoying their plain ordinary retirement life.[3] Without even knowing my feelings.
—Brace yourself, me. If I don"t stand up here and now, when will I stand up?!
Right now I was on the fence of my crib, desperately trying to stand up while my legs were trembling *Kaku Kaku*[4].
*Hai Hai*[5] It"s the results of the Sparta physical training working out.
It"s not like Maria is watching me all the time.
Right now, she went out to buy meal.
Of course, ensuring that not happens to me in the meantime, she reduced the burden of childcare by hiring a servant.
She was a beautiful, strange elf girl of about 15 years old disguised as a servant in such a remote place.
When Maria must take her eyes off me, she dedicatedly takes care of me.
However this girl too, is was.h.i.+ng my diapers right now, so I"m all alone.
As a babysitter, she"s not that much praiseworthy, but now I"m thankful for that.
I don"t want anyone seeing that I"m able to walk now.
"Auaa–, nuaa–!"
With my fighting spirit flas.h.i.+ng, I stood erect and firm on my feet.
It has already been almost one year since I was reborn in this world.
Crawling is all I could do up to this point, I was a little slower than an ordinary baby since I couldn"t stand up yet.
Although I started training to acquire strength from a far early age than a normal baby, it was all useless.
All because of my decision to make an unbalanced diet.
Since I had reborn, I stubbornly refused Maria"s milk, my body was very frail and my growth became a little late.
Thanks to my frequent repeatedly fever, both my parents got really worried.
That Lyel b.a.s.t.a.r.d didn"t matter, but I had worried about hurting Maria"s heart.
While my physical condition was finally becoming in order, they also decided that it was alright to leave it to another person, taking the final steps to employ a servant.
Anyway, I have no doubts there"s no one watching me right now.
Though I"m staggering, I was able to stand up so I raised my short arm above my head and let out a victory cry!
"Dau!"
But this is only my first step. Literally.
From here I have various missions waiting.
First of all, I need to go to Maria"s private room to read her grimoires and bible, it"s necessary to acc.u.mulate study of magic.
Half a year after sensing my magical power, I still haven"t succeeded in manipulating it.
Perhaps there is a mistake in my training method.
Perhaps there is a problem with my magic apt.i.tude.
I have to know a method to investigate those.
I walked while holding the edge of my crib, I started practicing to stand supporting myself.
