Chapter 4: Restarting Life
From the depths of darkness……I slowly awakened.
I beca conscious… or that’s how it’s supposed to be.
My eyes did open up, but I couldn’t form proper images, and the world was blurred and distorted.
Not only that. My limbs won’t listen to my commands, and I don’t even have the strength to move them.
No, it’s not only my limbs. My neck… my whole body wouldn’t listen or move.
That should have been expected, thinking about my situation before I lost consciousness, it was a really terrible situation.
An orphanage priest sohow managed to summon a Devil, and what he used as sacrifice were several children.
However, we managed to interrupt and defeat him so the priest wasn’t able to complete his goal.
It was a good result, however I couldn’t leave the Devil that was freed because of losing his summoner.
During that ti, there were cowering children behind , along with Cortina who was not capable of fighting in close combat.
I concluded that it would be better for to stay behind and fight.
I ordered Cortina to quickly escape, and then I confronted the Devil on my own.
As I have expected, she was able grasp the situation in an instant and left while saying that she would call for help.
She doesn’t have the power to carry the children to escape so she was not able to bring even one of them. Because of that the remaining 10 children who survived were left behind.
I was barely able to subjugate the Devil, and as a result I broke my left arm and right leg and got a large cut from my chest to my abdon.
In that state— it was already a miracle for just to be able to breathe.
According to what that that self-proclaid god has said, I should have been returned to this world again, but… My voice won’t co out and I can’t move my limbs.
—What exactly happened!?
「Fugyaaaaaa!」
I tried voicing out words, but only a strange scream escapes my mouth like a kitten’s cry.
Eventually I felt like my face was wiped with sothing warm, and then sothing soft was pressed against my mouth.
I instinctively sucked from it and swallowed sothing sweet.
And then, as soon my stomach was full, I fell asleep once more.
It was a few days later that I was able to finally understood what exactly happened.
I was—reborn as a baby.
This was probably the loopholes that god ntioned. In other words, it was a taboo to resurrect soone, but starting a new life reborn as a baby was sowhat acceptable, probably?
There was also one more thing that I’ve realized when my eyesight beca stable…
「Good morning, Nicole. You woke up early today.」
Opening my eyes as I woke up, I noticed a beautiful woman bringing my mouth close to her chest— that was Maria.
Yes, it was my companion who was once called a saint.
And the person she called Nicole…was .
That is to say, I was reborn as my forr companion’s child.
Reincarnation magic is the highest rank sacred technique.
However, this magic was sothing that only the caster could confirm if it was a success or not, not to ntion that they won’t be able to identify where the reincarnation would occur.
In other words, Maria will never know that I am her forr companion, Reid.
That’s why she pushes her vulnerable breast against . If she knew that I am Reid, sothing like this would probably be impossible to happen.
If I was careless, I would be sent flying with slap. Her sense of virtue is very intense after all.
There was a ti when I was trying to peep with Lyell and she gave us divine punishnt with a magic attack called 「Divine Wrath」, and I seriously thought at that ti that I would die.
Moreover, Cortina who accurately predicted our escape route was waiting for us and easily captured us.
It’s a thing called youthful indiscretion.
「Fugyuuuu」
I raised a groan, refusing to eat.
I still don’t have enough muscle strength to move my neck.
After all, I’m not shaless enough to continue sucking the chest of a close acquaintance of mine.
But more than that, I’m afraid of what awaits if I am ever exposed.
「Ugyuu. Fuaaaa」
「Ara, is your stomach okay? Nicole isn’t eating much. I’m a little worried.」
Since the ti I have reincarnated, I haven’t taken a proper al.
Well, Maria is honestly an extrely attractive woman, but I couldn’t help it because of my ego returning.
If it was an unknown woman, I might really suck it while feigning ignorance.
But she’s an acquaintance.
She’s a companion who has gone through thick and thin with before I died.
And while we are at it, her husband is that Lyell.
He was also a companion who fought together with , a rival, and a man who embodied the figure of a 「Hero」 that I couldn’t reach.
How would he react if he ever knew that I was sucking his wife’s breast?
That’s why I voluntarily entered a hunger strike.
Because I didn’t properly drink Maria’s milk, she was really struggling with my childcare.
I know that it’s bad, but I also can’t compromise.
In the end, she managed to barely maintain my life by giving moderately ward cow’s milk.
Today as well, I was being fed with milk-soaked cotton in my mouth, anwhile Lyell got up.
「Good morning, Maria, Nicole too」
After saying that, he embraced Maria who was holding , and exchanged a passionate kiss with her early in the morning.
And then a similar kiss —which was really uncomfortable— was pinned in my cheeks.
「Fuaaaaaaaaauuuu!」
「Ara, are you angry? Perhaps Nicole dislikes Papa?」
「Wha-What!?」
As I showed intention of resistance, Maria tells the cruel truth without any malice.
As a matter of fact, I didn’t really like Lyell.
After all, it can be said my position as a hero was not yearned for. On the other hand, he was far more admired by the populace.
He was a strong and resolute swordsman who was also the representative of the heroes. That admiration and strength was sothing I longed for.
However, I didn’t have that talent. Even so, I couldn’t give up.
That’s why I’ve fought without relying on the sword, and built my way of fighting using creativity and scheming.
For soone like , Lyell who embodies the image of my ideal hero was a man that stirs up a lot of complicated emotions inside .
He who is soone I rely on, he who is soone I admire, he who is a companion whom I hold unpleasant feelings.
Receiving a kiss on the cheek from such companion, it felt like chills would crawl up in my spine.
After the shock he received, Lyell went out to the garden with a dejected face and started swinging his sword.
From the window, I could understand that this have been a daily routine that he follows.
The moves were powerful, elegant, and sharp.
It was the figure of a hero that I have dread of.
In my other life, I was powerless and lacked endurance, so I couldn’t fight the sa way as that.
But now, an electric current dashes over my body and makes tremble.
That’s right this body is Lyell and Maria’s child.
In other words, I may inherit Lyell’s strength and Maria’s magical power.
If it’s the current , I may be able to beco a swordsman. An existence that could beco my guide is right in front of my eyes.
I might be able to follow the path of a swordsman that was once my goal which I’ve failed to reach.
No, if I also inherit Maria’s magical power, then there’s also the possibility of becoming a magic swordsman opening up.
「Nyaaauuu!」
I raised my hand while expressing joy.
However, I don’t really have the strength, so I was barely able to bring my short arms in front of my face.
「Oh, is Nicole fond watching your father’s sword practice? You actually wanted to be spoiled, right? 」
Misunderstanding my reaction, Maria pokes my cheek.
Now that I think about it, she was the type to misunderstand such things easily.
