I don't understand why.
What I saw was unfamiliar scenery that I have never seen before when I woke up.
I looked around carefully trying to grasp the situation.
「——-」
「—————」
「———–」
I could hear something, but don't understand what they mean. I might have been crippled and my ears have gone bad.
While I was thinking about something like that, my hands appeared in front of my sight.
It was a small hand same to that of a baby. No wonder it was hard for me to move.
(As I expected, this is…)
As I was checking out my hand movements, there was a sensation where my view changed because I moved from one person to another. Looking from above me, I could see man having a complicated expression as he was looking at me.
「A~e」
Who? I tried asking but my mouth wasn't moving that well, it only sounded strange.
However, the man that was looking at me before only shows a slacked face then looked at somewhere else.
「——-」
I tried understanding what that man was saying, but I was attacked by sudden drowsiness and my consciousness flew away.
A few days have passed since that time and being a baby has finally sunk into me, by the way I was name as Toto.
This situation is definitely what you would call as 《Reincarnation》, I love reading light novels n stuff I was also reading something like this.
However, I didn't expect that such things existed, nor me being the one to fall into such a situation.
At a later time, I finally understood that my father's name was Enbray, who has wolf cut hair, and was quite messy for a hairstyle with golden short hair and blue eyes that were very cool then his tall height, and an Ikemen is what I would describe him.
My mother's name is Rihanna. Of course she also has the same characteristics of having golden hair and blue eyes and was arranged in a long fluffy hairstyle.
I guess I can expect promising prospects.
But I still can't understand their words. It seems that I didn't get any language cheat which is common in many light novels. This is quite tough.
A while ago, I was now able to walk.
Actually it was able to do it at a much earlier time, but I knew that it would be strange for to just suddenly know how to walk at that time because it was a little too early.
I only acted that I'm able to stand crawl and as if trying to walk at that time, but at the time when I actually learned it I have this sense of accomplishment that I've felt. It was quite difficult balancing and supporting my body that have small legs and a large head, but you know it was part of the act, I tell you it's an act. No doubt about that.
And around that time I realized that I have existing cheat ability.
The first thing that started it… It was that lantern.
I was curious about it seeing something like that for the first time, but when I pulled it lightly but it fell down. More like the lantern crashed.
I certainly did find that weird, I mean the meager power of a child couldn't make that fall nor make a sound from it falling as if it crashed with force. I was thinking that maybe it's just some old lantern about to fall. it must be that, old enough that just touching it it would fall off. Then I noticed a wooden box nearby and was curious about it.
Wow, the wood was peeled of so easily.
Immediately after that, I was caught by my scary mother, but to my father who confirmed the damage only floated question marks on his head.
And another thing I confirmed, when I was checking my looks on a water surface, I was so surprised by the color of my eyes and hair because it doesn't have any resemblance to my parents at all.
I have known that the color of me hair was black, but I didn't realize that even my eye color were not resembling my parents at all.
Normally, people would doubt that they might be having an affair, but the more I see them the more I'm convinced that it was not that case. So the only thing I can link it to is my reincarnation.
Time passed and I was finally able to control my strength, so I can now freely roam around.
But even if I can properly handle myself now I'm still just a child so my movement is only limited within the house. I also checked out what father and mother were doing as I roam around. Well even if I did that, I won't be able to understand it right away.
At some point doing those things, I learned that my name was Toto. My parents were farmers. They were plowing fields and harvesting vegetables. I also realized that the level of civilization in this area is quite low. They were trading their daily goods through barter and was not using any kind of currency.
Because I also found out that both my parents were practicing sword swings, I was thinking that this might be a fantasy world. Even if I reincarnated in my previous world earth, you won't find normal farmers possessing swords.
By the way, most of the words that I have learned perfectly were 「Toto」, 「Good Morning」, and 「Good Night」.
Well, I was only able to learn what they commonly say to me. As for learning the language itself, it will still be a dream of another dream. I'm expecting to learn more in the future.
It was now around 3 years since I have reincarnated. I was now able to grasp numbers month and date as well. When I was thinking that it didn't probably exist, there was actually a calendar in this world.
It was really hard for me to read numbers as usual, but once I realized how they were used it was much easier after that. I don't know how to pronounce them properly though. Numbers were also from zero to 9, months were from first month to twelfth month. The days were all the same making it 30 days a month. Only the weeks were different which was separated by 10 days each making it three weeks a month. Since the way of calculating months were almost the same as before, I familiarized easily.
One day, when Barbarsan who was our neighbor came to have tea with mom, I saw a little girl hidden behind her.
「Tote,——–」
I didn't really understand what mother said.
When I tilted my head in confusion, the child behind Barbarsan took a glimpse of me then said in a small voice.
「Hello, ——-」
That's something I understood, I got it ok.
「Hello…」
I returned the same words to the girl. Then the girl came out from behind Barbarsan probably because her wariness has faded for a bit.
Woah, she's very cute.
Like everyone else, she also has blond hair and blue eyes. I guess this is the common trait of the people around here.
Her hair was and semi-long in length, she was also wearing a pale-colored dress which suits her really well.
「—–」
When Barbarsan said something to the girl, the girl twitched for a moment then said something.
「Rikka…」
Rikka. It was a word that was included what mother said a while ago.
I immediately analyzed all information and put it all together. For example, it would have been something like this.
『Tote, Rikkchan』
『Hello —』
『Hora, your name is?』
『Rikka…』
It also properly align with this atmosphere, this. In other words, it is understood that the cute girl in front of me is Rikkchan.
「———」
Mom was telling her something. When I tilted my head, Mom only looked at me with a troubled expression and took my hand. We continued walking until we arrived in front of Rikkchan, then they shook our small hands.
Although I knew the purpose of that gesture I still tilted my head, maybe it something like 『You can go and play with each other』.
「Rikka, Toto」
Anyway, I pointed at myself as I told her my name.
Rikkchan smiled when she understood it then nodded.
「Toto-chan」
She looks like a doll. She's really cute when I see her up close. I held her hand that was holding me. I feel really comfortable around her and was really happy. We went into the other room as to not get in the way of our parents conversations.
As the two of us entered the room, I offered Rikka to sit on the floor with me and she was now looking straight at me.
…What shall we do?
「—-?」
Rikkchan seems to be asking for something and her gestures were really cute while doing so, but well I just don't understand it.
「—–?」
For a moment, Rikkchan's eyes shined brightly as she headed towards the object she was pointing for several times.
「—–」
She was saying something as she pointed towards the wooden sword leaning nearby. I was trying my best deciphering her words through her actions.
Then Rikkchan pointed at the wooden box nearby, I tried understanding her intensions.
「———」
Hmmm? The words she used this time were different from what she used before. When I tried understanding what she's doing once more, she said the same thing again.
She continued the same gestures as before of pointing at an object then says words.
And after a while, I finally understood her intentions.
「Ou-bu-ei-?」
I pointed at the wooden box imitating Rikkchan's words, Rikkchan smiled and repeated the words again while pointing at the wooden box.
『What's this?』
『It's a wooden box』
I was thinking that the current conversation were proceeding this way, Rikkchan was teach me words. Or more than that, considering her age in this world, her ideas and methods for teaching are amazing. Isn't she a genius?
And with things going that way, until the time she was called to return home, she continued teaching me words.
