Chapter 1: The Reincarnation of the Hero

Part 3

Shortly thereafter, I had finally begun to recover from the shock of knowing I was reborn as a girl.

I’m a girl. My breasts are slightly bulging¹ now; they will grow bigger, won’t they?

Partly forcing myself to believe that, I decided to resume my daily training. I would move my arms and legs to develop my muscles, and practise manipulating my magical power before I go to sleep. With regards to practising manipulation of my magical power, the results remain the same as ever: there is no response. However, Maxwell once pointed out that, “Rome² wasn’t built in a day.” To begin with, at my present stage I must be head and shoulders above my previous life; when I wasn’t able to feel magical power at all.

“Uuu~, dau~.”

“Jeez, Nicole. Your eyes are still open. I’ll be sleepy tomorrow if you don’t sleep soon.”

At night, I had always practised manipulating magical power on the bed before going to sleep. Since I had a gut feeling it would work well today for some reason, I tried to fire myself up a little; but Maria thinks I should sleep.

“That’s right. If I don’t sleep soon, there’ll be many embarrassing situations.”

“Oh my, dear, Nicole is watching.”

“If it’s this much, she won’t mind, right?”

While carrying Maria in his arms to the Double-Size bed near the baby crib, Lyell let out soft nothings. Bastards, you’re planning to do that while I was sleeping? Since it’s come to this, of course I won’t fall asleep first at any cost. Couples should go die; no mercy.

So, I made up my mind to not sleep first—when I came to, it was already morning. At that time, I had realised that my infant body couldn’t even stay up late at night.

Since my reincarnation as a baby, I’ve been feeling depressed from the disadvantages of an infantile body. However, now, I’m shedding tears because I’m able to reap the benefits of this body. A paradise was now spreading out before my eyes. I’m a baby now; and a girl too. Because of which, women won’t mind exposing their skin defenselessly. Right before my eyes, Maria and an elf girl, our new maid, are removing their clothes and smiling to each other while praising each other’s figures.

At first, Lyell, who was less capable of doing housework, tried his best to help Maria one way or another, whose physical strength weakened after giving birth. This was short-lived since he couldn’t use his sword-wielding talents for housework; he’d repeatedly make mistakes. Lyell broke plates on several occasions. One time, he even tried to feed me milk which he had heated to boiling point—I felt my life was in danger. Thankfully, Maria, who had witnessed it, quickly stopped him and hired a maid who could babysit.

With this, Maria could feel relieved. The maid was an elf girl whose age was approximately 15. It was odd for a beautiful girl such as her to willingly act as a maid in such a remote region. For some reason her face gives me déjà vu. I wonder if I’d met her somewhere. But I shouldn’t have been acquainted with a young girl—wait, it makes me sad to say it myself.

When being held in the bosom of this slender, beautiful girl, you could say that there are no words to describe the sensation because you’ll become swaddled in felicity. She possesses the aura of a fairy which is neater and purer than the voluptuous Maria, and that fits my taste.

And now, in front of my eyes, she and Maria are taking off their clothes, revealing their naked bodies, thoroughly. This was to give me a bath. Good job³, Lyell, for purchasing a house with a bath! In my heart I clenched my fists. Normally, I’d bare feelings of rivalry towards Lyell and rarely gave him praises.

“Maria-sama, your figure is nice.”

“Ah, is that so? I gave birth to Nicole, you know? I’ve been feeling that it stretched a bit.”

“There are no such marks at all!”

In my previous life, I dared trying to peek at Maria’s naked body but failed. Right now, she’s exposing her body before my eyes. At that time, I was completely thwarted by Cortina’s defensive position. After which, I was found out by Maria, and received a torture named Sermon.

I should have been more wary of Maxwell who nonchalantly brought up that subject but didn’t take part in it. Before we knew it, it was already too late. Lyell and I were in the peeping plan, executed it, and failed spectacularly.

Maria’s naked body that was such a matter of difficulty at the time, now, defenseless…… What in the world was the hardship at the time? The accompanying girl also has a wonderful naked body in a different way from Maria’s. If Maria’s charm lay in her voluptuous adult woman body, then as for the girl, I’d say it’s her fairy-esque beauty. Her sex appeal was somewhat low, but she possessed a delicate body almost as if it were a work of art. Her places, which frankly don’t appeal as much as her moderate-sized chest⁴ , her slender waist and so on, perfectly fit my tastes. Speaking of which, Cortina also had a slender figure.

…Fuehehe, a feast for the eyes.

I clasp my small hands while sitting on the floor and shed many tears. I can’t secure my field of vision because the tears blur it despite the scene I wanted to see so much.

No way, did they hear my thoughts? The elf girl came up to me and looked into my eyes while leaning her body forward. This is bad, her pose is too stimulating—especially for me who wasn’t very popular with women in my previous life. This scene might make my nose bleed. In a hurry, I avert my eyes towards Maria. I feel guilty because she’s Lyell’s wife, but it’s still better than looking up at this innocent girl from her feet.

“Nicole-sama, you’ve been looking at Maria-sama’s chest for quite some time.”

“Oh? But Nicole doesn’t want to suck my breasts and…”

“Perhaps she’s not hungry, but rather envious of the size.”

“Nicole has my blood, so I’m sure her chest will get big too!”⁵

Right, I have a female body now. The sight before my eyes—in particular, Maria’s figure—is a reflection of my future self. My excitement collapsed all at once……alas.

Before I died, Maria was engaged in missionary work at a remote church.

The three countries that had been completely decimated by the evil dragon, Colchis, did not reclaim their individual sovereignty. Instead, the remaining countries had integrated the three countries into one, and they tried to make the five of us govern the combined country.

Of course, we each were indifferent to power. Fortunately, one of the three country bodies confirmed that a boy who was a scion of royal blood had survived; so we gave the boy the seat to the throne, provided surviving aristocrats to assist him, and threw away the National Reconstruction. However, we weren’t as heartless as to shirk our obligations. If we were asked for relief from them, we were ready to swiftly lend assistance.

Although Maxwell didn’t remain with us in this country as he had an elven country to return to, the five of us could handle most situations without him. Furthermore, problems which required our united effort didn’t often exist. My visit to the orphanage which brought about my death was one of these rare circumstances.

But, it’s different now: Cortina, who was shocked by my death, left from this place; Maria had given birth—the Heroes had nearly faded. In the meantime, the boy king narrowly reorganised sovereignty. With that, Lyell and Maria were able to retire without anxiety. Beyond all expectations, it seemed that the king was a capable boy. In other words, Lyell and co. were able to enjoy a very humdrum seclusion without knowing my feelings.

Brace your legs, me! If I can’t stand up here, now, then when will I!?

Just now, I clung to my baby crib’s bars, desperately and trying to stand up while my legs trembled: *wobble wobble*. This is the result of my Spartan⁶ exercise; I even smoothly skipped crawling.

Maria can’t babysit me all the time. Just now, she went out to purchase food. In her stead, the maid’s looking after me. But this girl, too, is washing my diapers right now—I’m alone. She’s taking her eyes off the baby. As a babysitter, she isn’t very praiseworthy. But I’m thankful now because I want to be able to walk while I have the chance with no-one watching.

“Aua–a, nua–a!”

Putting in my spirit and letting out a yell, I braced my feet and stood erect. Almost a year had already passed since I was born into this world. Hitherto, crawling was all I could manage; I still couldn’t stand. I’m slightly late compared to ordinary babies. Notwithstanding the muscle-building I began from a far earlier stage than normal babies, it was all but worthless.

This and that was also due to my unbalanced diet. Since my birth, I’ve continually refused to drink Maria’s milk, stubbornly. My body was extremely weak and my growth was slightly late, too. Thanks to frequently succumbing to a fever, I made my parents worry. I’m sorry for making you worry. That Lyell FUCK, he doesn’t matter, but to make Maria worry, my heart aches. When my physical condition finally began to stabilise, Maria was able to take her eyes off me with an easy mind.

Putting that aside, there’s no mistake that right now is one of the few times when I’m not being observed by others. Tottering, but somehow or other, I succeeded to stand erect so I threw up my small arms and raised a shout of joy!

“Dauuu!”

 But, this is just my first step, literally, because from here, I have various missions awaiting me. First of all, I’ll need to go to Maria’s private room and read a copious amount of her grimoires, scriptures, and others to study magic.  It’s been half a year after sensing my magical power and I still haven’t succeeded in manipulating it. There may be faults in my training regime. There may also be problems with my magical aptitude, too. I must find some way of examining those. In order to achieve this, I totter along the edge of my baby crib, beginning my supported walking practise.
