Meeting the Shy Little Elf Girl

[Rebecca's POV]

Another half of the year has passed and I am now a year old

During those long days in the crib and crawling around the house, I learned some few things.

First of all, I learned my full name. Apparently, I am Rebecca Greyrat

I also learned the names of the people in the house.

My father's name is Paul Greyrat, my mother's is Zenith Greyrat and the maid is Lilia.

I also learned the location of the house I lived in, which is called Buena Village.

Enough talking about minor details, let's talk about the most important part

The important part is.... drum roll please...

*Drum roll sound effect*

I CAN NOW STAND WITH MY OWN TWO FEET!! WOOHOO!!

'FINALLY!! I can now run away from my problems whenever I want, HAHAHAHA'

I laughed internally at my ability to walk again. I tried running but I almost trip myself for a second. Then I tried to fix my balance when walking, I run again to see if I get the hang of it. Fortunately, I run perfectly fine and my balance is stable.

'HAHAHA, try and catch me now, world! You cannot restrain me from my new found freedom!!'

Anyway, now that I can walk now, that means I can explore the house much easier.

I noticed that my brother is climbing the stairs with a huge book tucked under his armpits.

'I wonder what book was he reading up there? Hmm, meh'

I decided to ignore it for now and went outside the house. I walked towards the front yard and saw a beautiful garden filled with many kinds of vegetable plants. I also saw my mother working at the garden picking weeds from the ground. I approached her and she noticed me walking towards her.

"Hello there Becca dear, what are you doing here?" mother gently said as she patted my head

"What. Mama. Doing?" I tried to baby talk so I can convince my mother that I am a toddler. I can't just suddenly speak full-ass sentences in a very young age or else mother will freak out and look at me weirdly.

"Ah Mommy is taking care of the garden. Look see, mommy is pulling weeds in order to protect the plants"

"Pro. Tect?"

"Yes dear, Mommy is protecting the plants from the bad weeds" She explained my immature question.

"Protect. Plant. Bad. Weed.?"

"Yes"

I tried to act excited and chant "Yay, Mama protect plant. bad weed" over and over again. My mother laughed at my cheerful expression.

Then father appeared and notice the happy atmosphere in the garden area. He approaches us and we noticed him walking towards us while resting his sword on his shoulders.

"What do we have here?" Father asked with a smug expression

I run towards my father and I tug his pants. I look at him excitedly and he is happy seeing my happy demeanor.

"Papa!" "Mama protect plant. Bad weed" I childly exclaimed to him while pointing at my mother at the garden.

"Oho? Is that so. Well, while mommy protects the plants, daddy protects the family" My father proclaims as he patted my head.

"Mama protect plant. Papa protect family?"

"Yes, Daddy protects the family with this sword" Father boasted as he brandishes his sword

"WAH. Papa give sword?" I said as I extended my arms at him.

"No no Becca dear, you are too young to hold a sword. Also, Paul, please don't brandish your sword in front of her, you might hit her accidentally" Mother refuted me and father

"Mama. Me. No. Touch. Sword?" I innocently asked my mother while I pretend to be sad.

Mother noticed my sad expression and realized that she made a blunder.

"Ah, I mean you can dear, just careful not the cut yourself, okay?"

"Okay" I nodded at mother's warning and faced father. He noticed my gaze and squatted down while presenting his sword to me. I gently touch the sword and feel it's smooth and hard texture.

'Wow, this is really is a real sword. The texture is so smooth and it is incredibly hard. I want one! I really do want one for myself"

After checking the sword, I look at my father's eyes.

"Papa. Me. Want. Sword." I asked father if I can get myself my own sword.

"Oho? You want me to give you a sword?" He asked me if I am sure if I want one

"HAI!"

"Okay then, I will give you one in your 5th birthday, sounds good?"

"YAY. Papa. Give. Me. Sword" I kept chanting the words as I jump around happily, my two parents laughed at my cheerfulness.

'YEAH BABY!! I get myself a cool-ass sword in my 5th birthday! I'm not sure why, but still, HELL YEAH!!'

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the scene in the garden, my toddler life continues for two years without any change whatsoever.

I mean really, nothing else is happening in this goddamn house. The days I spent here is just really consist of continuous cycle of daily routine. I wake up, I eat breakfast, I either go to the garden or upstairs while spying at my brother, then I eat again, and finally sleep.

'Seriously, I am soooooooo bored!! Why is growing up is so goddamn slow!!'

The only thing the deviates from my day-to-day life is when father decided to bring me to work one day. He also tried to bring brother as well. Unfortunately, he refused to come because he said that he is scared at the outside.

'What the hell was that? He doesn't even know what the outside world looks like and he is already scared? Damn coward'

Anyway, me and my father walk at dirt path and while seeing the open fields. He walks the path while I am riding on his shoulders. I occasionally came across a single house every few minutes of walking. Behind those houses were the huge plot of farming area that stretches across the horizon.

"Daddy, what do farmers plant over there?" I asked my father as I pointed at the farming fields.

"Ah, farmers usually plant a lot of vegetables there. However, the village mainly produced Asuran wheats"

"Asuran Wheats? What do they make with those after they harvest them?"

"The farmers harvest the Asuran Wheat in order to make Asuran breads"

"Wah, that's so cool, daddy"

While father and I were chatting on the road, we arrived at his workplace and meets up with his fellow workers who is guarding a watchtower. When I saw the person that he is meeting up with, I was surprised to what I saw.

'Is that a generic looking blond haired, bow wielding male elf that I used to see in those D&D games?!'

When the elf saw me being carried on the shoulders of my father, he got curious at my appearance.

"Oh, who do we have here? Hey Paul, you have a mini-you of top of you" The blond elf greeted me as he waves his hand at me. I waved back at him and he smiled at it.

"Oi Rawls, what do you mean by Mini-me" Father looks a bit annoyed by Rawls-san's statement

"Ah sorry, I mean look at her. She has the same hair color as yours" Rawls-san points at my hair that is similar to my father's.

"I know right, we look similar but the only difference she is her blue eyes that she got from her mother's. Also, I have another one back home but he doesn't want to come outside the house"

"I see. Ah, that's right! How about we let her play with my daughter. I also brought with me at the watchtower"

"Oh? you brought Sylphiette with you? That's great, I'm sure they will be good friends" my father and Rawls-san both walk towards the watchtower.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Upon reaching the top, I saw a small figure on the corner of the room. I carefully look at the figure and it is a small green-haired elf girl with red pupils and she wears a small size hoodie.

'Damn, she's quite adorable and gentle looking too.'

My father then picks me up from his shoulders and put me down next to Sylphiette. The elf girl sheepishly looks at me as she cowers from me.

"Sylphy, this girl here is Rebecca. Rebecca, this is my daughter, Sylphiette" Rawls-san introduced us to each other.

"Hello Sylphy, nice to meet you. Also, I like your hair"

"Uuuh.. nice meet you too...." She meekly greeted back, I can only smile wryly

"Do you want to play with me?" Sylphy hesitated at first, but she obediently does what I said.

Me and Sylphy play with block toys and DIY dolls. We also chat together, talking about our life in the house and other miscellaneous stuff.

From what we talked about this pass few hours, I learned that her mother is part human race and part beast race by blood, which makes her part elf, human and beast race. I dunno what does that means, but I think it is sick.

When dawn is about to end, Father and Rawl-san returned from their duty and picks us up and we went home to our own home.
