Family, Growing and Childhood Friend

-Adam's POV -

Well, being a baby sure is inconvenient.

From being born on October 28 1999, and now it's already April 2000.

For the first six months of my life, I couldn't walk, talk, or do activities on my own like I used to. But I can babble and cry if I need anything. Though, I seldom cry as I only cry if I need to change my diaper.

But at least I can get closer to Mama and Papa. Yup, that's what my parents want me to call them when I'm grown up.

Now, let's talk about my family.

Mechalia Cordett. That is my Mama's name.

She is stunning beauty in her own right. Her height was around 175 cm, with black hair and blue eyes. And her body is not like a mother who is recovering after childbirth, thanks to me healing her gradually using healing magic with the help of Raphael.

<<Negative. Individual [Mechalia Cordett] was healed through Unique Skill [Healer] by accessing Origin [Information Kin->>

'Alright Raphael, that's enough information'

I interrupted Raphael's explanation, fearing that Raphael would continue further.

Hmm.. where were we? 

<<Confirmed. It was found that Master explaining about individual [Mechalia Cordett]>>

'Oh yeah. Thank you, Raphael.'

<<You are welcome, Master>>

She's incredibly doting to me. She would carry me around the house, telling me a bedtime story right before I slept. Her cooking.. is incredible.

I may taste an even better cooking in my previous life, but Mama cooking is warming. It tastes like home.

I just discovered that my parents are quite young. While Mama is at 22 years old, my Papa is at 25 years old. 

Mama doesn't have a job because she wants to accompany me at home. She's always talking to me while I can only babble. From the looks of it, she may want to teach me how to talk in their language.

But I already know the language they used as I was capable of using many languages in my previous life. What my parents' using were English, Italian, and Japanese.

Sometimes Mama took me out around the neighborhood while Papa went to work.

And my guess is correct, from the house arrangement, language and the neighbor. It looks like I'm reincarnated in Japan, specifically Kyoto.

'Is Japan a package deal for reincarnator?' I wonder.

Back to the topic.

Something that I noticed while we were walking in the neighborhood is that my Mama smile never reaches her eyes. I noticed it, because that was what I usually did in my previous life. How ironic.

Mama uses a different persona in life. She's a gentle mother and wife in the house. But it looks like she's cunning toward outsiders. I wonder what kind of experience Mama got in the past to practice those expressions.

Now I wonder, how can Papa manage to steal Mama's heart?

Papa's name is Benjamin Cordett.

He's a handsome man with 180 tall, black hair, and deep brown eyes, almost black, but he always wore glasses. If I have to say, his face is a bit like Aizen Sosuke from Bleach.

But his demeanor… not at all like the cunning Aizen.

He's submissive towards my mom, and sometimes he sits in dogeza style which always makes me laugh for no reason.

Thankfully I was a child. If not, I think Papa would glare at me with resentment everytime I laugh at his quirk.

If there's a hierarchy within the family, then from the top would be Mama, followed by me, and at the bottom would be Papa.

Poor Papa, may your soul be blessed.

Currently Papa is working as an Architect where sometimes he showed me his work proudly from the computer.

Papa often made me sit on his lap while working. Architect is interesting as I never touched the subject of Architect Engineering in my previous life. This subject is a new experience to me. 

All in all, my life as a baby is very interesting.

New experiences occur every day that make my day fresh. And the thing I got the thing I wanted the most. Family, Love, Home.

It's weirded me out at first, but later I got used to it.

'Papa, Mama, would we always be like this after I expose my skills and power to you?'

I wonder sadly. 

~4 Years Later~

I'm almost 5 years old now. I'm getting used to my new family as they really love me, especially in Mama's case. 

Her evil hand often poked my chubby cheeks making me uncomfortable. And her fiery gaze sometimes makes me shudder out of nowhere.

What can I say, not to be narcissistic, but I'm that cute. With black hair, violet irises, thick hair with ahoge on top, and chubby cheeks.

But thankfully, as always, Papa came to rescue me by hiding behind his legs which caused Mama to resentfully gaze at Papa.

I know I act childish for my mental age which is around 23 years old, but I want to make my childhood more precious than the previous one.

I can say my first word around 8 months old, Walk around 1 year old, which makes my parents think I'm a genius, which is I am.

At first I was scared by my parents' reaction. I was scared that they would stop loving me and think of me as their proudest tool. 

But no, they start loving me more, and seem to be concerned about something. 

I want to ask, but I can't as it will arouse my parents' suspicion of me. 

As the years went by, I slowly began to reveal my genius side to my parents. Thankfully, they didn't change their behavior towards me, which made me sigh in relief.

About my power… how do I say this?

It's overpowered that makes me speechless. Thankfully, there's Raphael to access my Origin Skill which can be used to create or use any skill available. My first thought was to make Ultimate Skill [Lord of Gluttony: Beelzebuth] as it can devour anything, be it space, substance, etc. and I can have my own stomach pouch or space to store anything.

The second skill is Ultimate Skill [Lord of Vows: Uriel]. My purpose for obtaining this skill is to make enchanted jewelry with the help of Raphael that can protect whom I want to protect.

The third skill is Extra Skill [Magicul Breeder Reactor] so that I can have infinite magicule and stardust energy. 

When I asked Raphael to obtain Ultimate Skill [Lord of Gluttony: Beelzebuth] and Ultimate Skill [Lord of Vows: Uriel], Raphael didn't refuse and accept it immediately, but for the case of Extra Skill [Magicule Breeder Reactor] it is different.. 

<<Confirmed. Ultimate Skill [Lord of Wisdom: Raphael] accessing Origin [Information King Akashic Records] by the request Master. Success>>

<<Confirmed. Accessing Origin Skill [Information King Akashic Records] to obtain the Ultimate [Lord of Gluttony: Beelzebuth]. Success. Beelzebuth] acquired>>

<<Confirmed. Accessing Origin Skill [Information King Akashic Records] to obtain the Ultimate [Lord of Vows: Uriel]. Success. Uriel] acquired>>

<<Negative. Rejecting Master's request to obtain Extra Skill [Magicule Breeder Reactor] as Master body had not yet develop enough store high quality and density of magicule>>

Yup, it seems my body has not yet grown enough to store too much magicule.

Sigh.. 

<<Confirmed. 5 It's recommended for Master to obtain the Extra Skill [Magicule Breeder Reactor] when turn in years old>>

'Ohhh! It looks like I must wait for a while. 6 months to go for infinite magicule. Woohoo!'

'Raphael, correct me if I'm wrong. Should a race like High Human still need to keep defecating? Because I never feel hungry or thirsty. And as far as I know, Ultimate Skill [Beelzebuth] should process the food that has become energy without any excess right?'

<<Confirmed. The act of excreting excess is simulated to not make Master's parents become suspicious, as Master intention reveal his power on such a young age>>

'Ohh, Sasuga Raphael-chan'

While I was talking to Raphael. I didn't notice an innocent looking loli enter my house and look at me who was lying down on the sofa with closed eyes and a gentle smile. Her pure eyes looking at me blinking every so often.

"Adam-kun, Adam-kun.."

"Ah, yes Mi-chan, you came."

As I open my eyes, I look towards the loli. I smiled gently and replied to her calling.

The cute girl has medium black hair, black eyes, white skin, with a gentle and soft voice.

'I think she will be beautiful if she grows her hair long.'

I pondered while remembering the first time we met.

While I was living in, I got myself a childhood friend, her name is Ayase Miharu. I got a chance to befriend her when Miharu's family came to visit 2 years ago as a neighbor. Miharu's age is 2 years younger than mine.

I don't know why, unlike Mama's cold smile when we were out of the house, when Miharu's family comes to visit, Mama and aunty are as close as sisters.

Hmm, I wonder why sometimes Mama and Aunty look at me and Miharu and giggle at themselves which makes me puzzled.

'C-Could it be they want Miharu as my child's bride?! No, no, no, we're still a child, why are they already planning for my future.'

Although I got my own turmoil in my head, I didn't let it show on my face thanks to my Skill [Perfect Expression Control] that I own.

<<Negative. There is no skill that called [Perfect Expression Control]. Master has perfected it through years of practice in previous life>>

'Shut up, Raphael! Stop making me remember my sad life. And did I just hear sarcasm from you?'

<<Negative. It is just your imagination>>

'Yeah yeah, Raphael. As you say.'

Rolling my imaginary eyes at Raphael.

I thought to myself,

'Did Raphael is in the process of gaining sentience?' 

'Should I name her to make her manas?'

'I should think of this matter later.'

"What are you doing, Adam-kun? You look like day dreaming"

'Cute.'

"Sorry, Mi-chan, I just thought of something. What are you doing visiting my house?"

"I want to play with Adam-kun. May I?"

Miharu uses [Puppy Gaze] towards Adam!

Adam Hp: -9999+ Critical Hit!

I flinch at her pleading gaze, as I finally succumbed to her wish.

I must admit that Miharu is a smart child. She could talk fluently with limited vocabulary and use her weapon, [Puppy Gaze] to make me play with her.

'Should I teach her elementary school subjects so that she could be ahead of her peers?'

I nodded to myself as I was really considering it, like a good brother will do towards his sister.

"What's wrong Adam-kun?"

Said Miharu with those pure innocent eyes looking at me.

'Yeah, let's think about it later. For now, let's just have fun with her."

"Nothing. Let's play hide and seek Miharu."

"Okay!"
