Chapter 6
Brother.
It's already been Nine months since Zenith's pregnancy. She's going to give birth in a few days now. We have a new addition to our family. She is a maid who comes from the Asura kingdom and Paul's old friend. Her name is Lilia. and She is a beautiful person. and she got a big boob too. Somehow, Every woman Paul knows is either a slut or has a big boob.
I kind of get worried here. Zenith is big, Lilia is big, Ghislaine is big, and Elinalise… Well, that was due to her curse but she said that she enjoyed it so… I won't say anything.
Anyway, let's change the subject. Lilia is professional. Within just a week of her being here the house that starts to pile up with dust comes clean again. and her cooking skill can rival even Zenith! that is why I'm grateful that she is here. Paul and I continue to train less because Zenith is going to give birth any time soon. I would stay with Zenith every time I got some spare time. When I'm with her I always practice my magic with her, but she couldn't do much because it strained her body. Now I can use Earth magic without chanting. And I started to train some of my magic control.
How? Well, I use ice and earth magic to create a statue or other. The more detail it needs the more concentration I need. If I put too much magic or too little it will blow up like a balloon. And my healing magic is already as good as Zenith. I normally help her with her clinic. But now that she is near her due date I am normally the one who runs the clinic now.
The people in this village are really friendly. At first, they were curious about me because of my hair color, and the children all cried because they saw me. so I asked Paul about it. It seems that my hair color is the same as the Surperd tribe that appears in folklore to scare children. Now I understand why that girl I met at the Boreas mansion ran away.
But anyway, they opened up to me during the time we stayed here. I help them in the summer when there is no rain, by creating a large water reserve using earth magic to dig out a large hole where they tell me I can and fill it up with water magic. It took me around three to four days to fill it up. and the village is really grateful because they need to hire a magician to do this so when it is harvest time they give our family a lot of crops. That week we only ate vegetables…
Anyway, I made some friends too. They are around the same age as me. Three and Four years old. The younger one is Ann. The older one is Luke. They are the ones who normally come to the clinic to play with me. Ann is a shy girl who doesn't talk much and Luke is an adventurous boy. They always come to the clinic and even go as far as going to my house to hear me talk about our old adventure.
anyway, I'm in Zenith's room right now practicing my magic control. what I am making right now is an ice statue of Zenith.
"Urg…Lucy! Call Lilia for me…" Zenith calls out to me when I practice my magic! She is going through labor right now. I nodded and quickly ran out to call for Lilia who was cleaning the dishes in the kitchen.
"Lilia! Zenith is going through labor right now!" I call out to her while tugging on her skirt.
Lilia quickly drops what she is doing and runs toward Zenith's room. AHHH What should I do! That's right! hot water! a-and clean towel right?! But it takes time to boil water! ah! Right magic! I quickly grab a big wooden, fill it with water, and imagine a fire in my hands.
"Let the great protection of fire be on the place thou seekest. I call the bold heat of a torch here and now. Fireball!"
A fireball appeared in my hand. I put it close to the Bowl so it will heat up. AH! I put too much magic on it that it boiled and burned the bowl! Water!... haa… I'm…panicking too right now.
"I should clean this up…haa… I really need to calm do-"
"Miss Lucy! Please come right now, we need your healing magic!" Lilia yells for me to come so I run to the room quickly. What I see there is a pool of blood that flows from Zenith. Zenith is screaming so loud that her voice starts to hoarse. Paul is holding her hand and Lilia is trying to take the baby out. I see the head but it seems the body is stuck.
I began to heal her with healing magic but the vagina has been so open that it is tearing...Her body is still too young for a child? No that's not it. She's just a bit too small right now. What should I do? If I use Ex-heal her vagina would close too much and the baby will be stuck and we need to cut it open again!
"Lady Zenith, please keep pushing!" Lilia's voice woke me up. Shit, I've got no time to think. I need to do it just right. Just focus on what is in front of me.
With my hand pushed toward Zenith, I start to focus."Just one more push, lady Zenith!" With Lilia's voice as my indicator, I start to Chant.
"Huu…Oh merciful mother of gods, please heal this one's wounds, and let him recover with a healthy body. X-Healing"
The reason I use the chant is that I need an effect to activate but I want it to heal only one specific part. With the chant, it was just activation but I can freely manipulate how I want it to heal the wound.
"That's good! Just a bit more Lady Zenith! Just a bit more!" with Lilia's voice. Zenith pushed with all her might and a loud cry can be heard.
A crystal clear cry rang out from the baby inside Lilia's arm. I quickly heal Zenith with X-heal before she loses any more blood. She looked very weak right now. Pale skin and rough breath. Her eyes constantly looked at the baby in Lilia's arms.
"Miss Lucy, please make some hot water please." When Lilia told me, I looked around and found a wooden tub with clothes. so she has already prepared all this. I quickly filled it with water, started my Fireball chant, and boiled it up. The water quickly boiled and I dipped in the clothes to soak in water, squeezed the water out, and handed it to Lilia.
She quickly wiped away all the fluid and blood from the baby. Her hand moved quickly as she finished it and warped the baby up in some spare clothes and handed him to Zenith.
"Congratulations. Master and My lady, It's a healthy boy." She bowed down and then quickly went out of the room to leave us alone. I made my way out of the room too.
It's best to leave them to enjoy the moment right now. But man, now I have a brother to look after huh? In my previous life, I was an only child so I didn't know how to be a good sister.
"Good work out there Miss Lucy." Lilia's voice woke me up and I looked at her face. She was smiling lightly. "But why aren't you staying with them?"
"I want to give them some space, After going through all that Zenith must be tried and want to be with her Child. Although Paul didn't do anything, I think he should stay with her to give her some support." I answered her with a light smile and quickly made my way into the kitchen.
"Do you want some tea? I need to make them for Master and the Lady anyway." She asked as she walked behind me. I nodded at her and we made our way to the kitchen.
…...
"Rudy! Where are you!" I yelled out as I'm running around the house. I just came back after Zenith came back to the clinic. and when I got back I needed to train Sword with Paul too. So it was already evening when I could look for Rudy.
"God! Where are you hiding?" He's really sneaky. It's already been a year since then I will turn five next spring and Rudy is already one. He is a weird kid…or maybe a kid behaves like this? Running into the used bra and panties of Zenith and Lilia.
Honestly, I feel very uncomfortable about this. What if he reincarnates like me? If he is an old man… Brrr Just thinking about it creeps me out. But Zenith seems happy so I will just forget this. He is just a child anyway. Maybe he just inherited too much of Paul's blood.
As I made my way up the stairs I heard a loud thud. It was in Rudy's room so I quickly made my way to his room. When I opened the door I found Rudy lying on the ground sleeping while his pants were wet.
"...No smell? It's not a pee…So why is he lying there on the ground-!" Suddenly a realization hit me. He uses magic! and with no one teaching him. I looked around and saw my magic book near him. I already learn all of its content including the Circle magic and barrier magic. I created a little barrier around the house to increase my proficiency with it and to make it safer. Although it will only last against two elementary spells.
But how can he read this? We still didn't teach him any letters or how to read. So the only possible explanation is that he learned it himself. but how? A normal child should be able to read when they reach six or seven. Even for me, it took around a year to learn-.
A Reincarnator… That is the only possible explanation! He is just like me. But what happened to Zenith's child? Is he taking over the body or is the child dying and he's using the body… what happened to the child of my body.
No…Calm down. I should not tell Zenith or Paul about this or they're going to freak out. I should keep this to myself first…but this explains his behavior around Zenith and Lilia. And even me sometimes. God… I feel like I'm going to puke.
Just thinking about a child you've been caring for as an old man inside is just too disgusting. Yup, definitely not telling Zenith about this.
Anyway...I should clean him up first. With that thought, I closed the door as I walked away, when I saw Lilia I tugged on her skirt and told her that Rudeus wet his pants.
…
Rudeus POV
It's already been a year since I started practicing magic. I'm turning two and my big sister turning six. After I first used magic I lost consciousness because I have a low mana capacity or it said BUT! I have discovered something that the book got wrong! It is that a person's mana is determined at birth.
Because the first time I used magic I can only use one basic spell before I pass out, but when I try again the next day I can use it two times!
Ahhh! This gets me excited! What more I can do something that is not mentioned in the book! That is silent chanting! Just by imagining things like water and making it move And boom! A waterball spells!
Just think about this! Not only was my mana capacity growing with every time I used magic but I could even do a silent chant! Maybe I'm some kind of protagonist in some anime?
Enough about that, let's talk about my family! We are a family of five. Paul Greyrat is the father, he was a bit of a meathead but he cared deeply about his family.
The mother is Zenith Greyrat. She is a gentle soul and kind mother who always spoils me. Her cooking is really good.
Lilia is the maid. She is a professional when it comes to work. The house is always spotless thanks to her. At first, I thought she didn't like kids but she treated me normally and even treated Lucy well.
Speaking of Lucy, her full name is Lucelia. She is the adoptive daughter of the Greyrat household. She has been with them since she was born. She is a kind sister who can do anything. From cooking to cleaning and even swordsmanship.
We just celebrated her birthday last spring. So she is five right now. But really what kind of five years old can fight like that? I mean she moves so fast my eyes can't keep up. And she didn't have any wounds when she finished the fight.
Is she using magic? But I never saw her using any magic. Now that I think about it she has been giving me a weird look since I passed out that day.
Is she...Suspecting something!? But I think I've been secretly practicing magic but if she found out will she tell Zenith? If they think it weird for children just two years old to use this kind of magic will she send me to the death!? Like a witch hunt or other!
Ahhh! I need to be more secretive now! Kuh! Let's forget about this! They never will never find out for sure! Yeah, let's go back to thinking of other things. Like panties or boobs! Gehehe Gahahaha!
….
"And then Ghislaine come back crying aft- The heck!" What was that! Why did I suddenly feel a sudden chill in my spine! Is someone thinking of me?
Or maybe it's Ghislaine sensing that I'm badmouthing her! She always has a sharp sense so I think it may be possible.
"Nee...what happened next, Lucy!" Ann who was next to me tugged on my arm waiting for me to continue...let's forget about it. I need to finish this story first.
"So anyway…"
