House Runwalker
It has already been close to a month since I reincarnated.
I’ve only just been idling around.
As expected, I can’t move my body well one month after birth.
After all, I still can’t hold my head up.
The order of things every day is 【Wake up→Meal→Sleep】,continuing endlessly.
I idled around every day so much that a grown adult would’ve gotten fat.
Not being able to leave the crib, I spend every day like a neet1.
But, if a neet is able to live like this, with a cat ears maid taking care of all the needs, fed by a beautiful mother every day, it might be unexpectedly enjoyable.
Well, it’s a given since I’m a baby.
After reincarnating into this body, the most embarrassing thing would undoubtedly be the time of excretion.
Chloe who’s in charge changes my nappy every time.
Even though I’m filled with shame over here, Chloe changes my nappy like she’s having fun.
I thought about what’s so fun about changing my nappy but, well, I guess it’s fine since the person herself isn’t doing it unwillingly.
Recently, I’m also able to read the changes in Chloe’s expression.
And very rarely, she shows an extremely dere2 look!
That expression is foul play!
I call the day I see that expression ‘lucky day’
Though I’ve only seen it twice.
I want her to smile like that every day.
And, if talking about embarrassing things, then it’s mealtime.
The reason why, is because it’s the unavoidable breast time for the baby!
In the nice space of my mother, Eris.
Rather than placing my face on it, it feels like I’m burying my face in it.
That’s a sweet scent just from being close to it.
Then, in the soft space that feels like marshmallow, I was able to taste a somewhat hard to describe happiness.
60% shame, and a 120% of happiness!
Wait, that doesn’t add up.
Well, that’s how amazing it was!
By the way, let me say that Chloe’s space of happiness is about the size of a bowl.
The size that would fit snugly inside an adult male’s palm.
Well, a month passed while such things happened and there’s something I understood little by little.
It’s regarding this family.
As I thought, this is a wealthy family and, the family name seems to be 「House Runwalker」.
The peerage seems to be a Margrave, a rather high ranking aristocrat.
But, this House Runwalker is not just any high ranking noble family, it’s a noble family living in a plot of land with special characteristics, unlike other noble families.
There are two special characteristics.
One of it is that it is a territory by the country’s border.
If it’s just this then there are also other noble families who possess land by the borders but, the problem is the neighbouring country.
I still don’t know in detail about the country but, this territory, is the only breakwater from the neighbouring country.
The other methods of coming to this country is, crossing through another countries’ borders or, taking one other method.
Putting the one other method aside, if that country were to attack our country, House Runwalker’s territory will certainly become a battlefield.
That’s why there are about ten thousand standing army in Runwalker territory. I feel that it’s fine to have even more people but, it seems that the nobles in the Royal Capital won’t allow the army to be in one territory. I don’t think it’s the time for that but, things like adult’s circumstances……
Then, the one other reason is, the remarkably large mountain that is visible even from my room’s window.
From this, baby’s face up position, I can only see it as a gargantuan mountain but, from what Chloe has said, the base of the mountain has a lake with about a 5km diameter, and a forest that stretches about 20km in diameter from the base of the mountain.
This plot of land including the forest is called 「Demon’s Land」by everyone.
The reason for that is because there are massive amounts of monsters inhabiting the land.
It seems that the deeper you go the stronger the monsters are, there also seemingly dragons in the mountain.
I said ‘seemingly’, because there are no people who went there before.
In other words, there no people who came back.
It seems that’s how dangerous of a place it is.
It took all he had even for my father, Sieg, who I heard excels in martial arts in the forest near the base of the mountain.
And the troublesome thing about this Demon’s Land is, once every ten odd years a large monster march occurs.
The most recent one occurred two years ago.
I heard that the lord at the time of the large march, Sieg’s father and my grandfather, was injured and died from it. After that, Sieg inherited the Margrave Runwalker Territory.
And then the one other method from before for the neighbouring country to attack is to pass through this Demon’s Land. They seem to have tried it once but almost none of their soldiers made it back, it seems that only one-tenth of the troops have returned.
That is how dangerous the land is.
The advances of the neighbouring country and, the large monster march of the Demon’s Land.
Because there are these two bizarre things, nobody wants to be the feudal lord of this Margrave Territory.
That’s of course.
If this territory was lost, the country would fall into a crisis in an instant. Rather than having such territory, building a house in a safe place inside the country is definitely better.
My father who govern such land, Sieg, has three wives. The children including me are three boys and a girl.
One of them is, of course, my mother and the first madam, Eris.
Her full name is Erislet・Runwalker, 22 this year. Silver hair with a pair of rare red eyes. I noticed from the mirror that I inherited that.
She is Earl Randolf’s house’s second daughter, father and she met as senior and junior in a school in the Royal Capital.
The two of them married with mutual love but, she had a hard time bearing a child and finally gave birth to me this year.
The second person is the second madam, the mother of my two brothers.
Madam Elizabeth・Runwalker.
This person is Earl Lingal’s house’s eldest daughter, the typical noble who appears in light novels of my previous world. Her appearance is beautiful but, the expression of her eyes are intense and angry.
She brought her children to see me once but, though she’s a beautiful woman, as I said before, the expression of her eyes are intense and scary. On top of that, I was also glared at by the two children.
I thought ‘Why are you glaring at me’ and, as expected, I got irritated by it. So I’ve forgotten both the children’s name!
Madam says herself ‘I’ll bring my children up not at this dangerous place but at the Royal Capital’ and is currently living in the Royal Capital. Sieg also understands that and left the management of the residence in the Royal Capital to her. I wonder when is the next time I’ll be able to meet her.
And then, the third person is the third madam and also the mother of my elder sister, Madam Alene・Runwalker. A cool looking person who has long red hair with tanned light brown skin
She was originally enrolled in the army as a knight for the Margrave Runwalker Territory, she’s so strong that she has never lost to her fellow knights in a fight before so far.
It seems that at that time, she met with the Sieg who is the heir and had a duel.
It seems that after losing the duel to Sieg, she fell in love with him from the bottom of her heart.
They married after having such fated meeting.
And the name of the elder sister who was born is Aerith・Runwalker.
She’s 3 years old and carries a loveliness around her that makes you think she will become quite the beauty in the future. She has red hair that took over her mother and is very much a tomboy.
Well, as expected everybody was shocked when she said ‘I waant, this child!!’ the moment we met.
Well, basically I have plenty of family members possessing an abundance of talents.
And among them, I, am feeling slightly worried about whether I will be able to make it on this land. I mean, I was told by the Goddess that my talent is average among average3 Eris is the first wife so I’ll probably become the heir. I’m feeling all sorts of uneasiness from now.
While I was thinking about that, because of the pleasant warmth of the sunlight shining through the window, I am becoming sleepy again.
I fall into a deep sleep as I think ‘I’m still born for just a month so there’s nothing I can do even I think about these difficult things~’
All while forgetting about the special skill I received from the Goddess……
- Not in Education, Employment or Training
- デレデレ(DereDere), lovestruck, sweet
- I missed out this part in Chapter 1
