Chapter 1

This is a new work. Thank you very much!

The cold rain had been falling since the previous day.

In this country, which usually enjoys a mild climate throughout the year, it was a day of continuous, relentless rain that enveloped everything.

I vaguely remember that night, with lightning streaking across the dark sky, the thunder shaking the windows of the mansion, and the rain pounding down.

"I will! I will take over the house! I will raise my younger brothers!"

"This is our home!"

"Sister! Brother!"

"Waaaah!"

"What can you, a girl, do!"

"I have been taught by Father! I can do it!"

"Ah! Enough, enough! I have already completed the procedures to inherit the title! Get out now!"

Suddenly, my father and mother died.

And the four of us siblings were kicked out of the house where we were born and raised...

◇◇◇

This is the town of Rurunde, in the Vogel Earl's territory, in the Kingdom of Tenroom. It is a small town at the edge of the territory, just within the distance that can be reached from the capital in a day. There is still a fair amount of nature left, and there is a small dungeon. The town also has a grand defensive wall to protect it.

The guards patrol the entrance and exit of the defensive wall and patrol the town. Perhaps because of this, the town is stable and bustling for its size.

There are shops in the center of the town, as well as an adventurer's guild and inns. Fresh vegetables are grown in the fields around the area, and medicinal herbs can be gathered in the grasslands just outside the defensive wall.

There is a forest nearby with a small dungeon. Some adventurers come specifically for this dungeon. The forest is home to dangerous monsters, but there is a river deeper in where fish can be caught. It is a town in a rich territory.

A little away from the center of the town stands an ordinary house. A little further on, the fields spread out, and there are many farms. This is where our family of siblings and our former nanny now live.

"Sister, if we don't hurry, the good quests will be gone!"

"Leo, I know that!"

The eldest, Reia, and the second eldest, Leo, are busy preparing to go out.

Leo is exasperated because Reia is taking her time eating breakfast.

"Oh, my, young lady, young master, here are your lunches!"

"Marie, I told you to stop calling me that!"

"Marie, thank you always."

Marie is our former nanny. No, she was our nanny. Even after we were kicked out of our home, she continued to take care of us. She is like a mother to me.

"Grandma, I'm going now!"

"Yes, yes, be careful!"

Elsa, Marie's granddaughter, who works at a nearby restaurant, went out with a clatter. It's a busy morning, as usual.

"Mmm, yummy"

"Roro, you have some on your cheek"

"Nicoo, mmm, yummy"

"Y, it's delicious"

The second eldest, 9-year-old Nico, and I, the third eldest, who is only 3 years old, are eating the breakfast Marie made for us, with our cheeks puffed out, chewing slowly, regardless of the morning rush.

We live with Marie's family, our former nanny. Until a year ago, we were young nobles.

A year ago, our parents suddenly died. Since then, the four of us siblings have been living with Marie's family, who were our nannies, trying to make ends meet.

After our father, who had been granted the title of earl, died, a shady uncle and aunt, who had been estranged from our father, suddenly appeared to inherit the title.

The uncle and aunt were dressed in flashy, tasteless clothes.

It was the first time we met them. We didn't even know that our father had a younger brother.

Our parents were solid and very loving people. The fact that they were estranged from each other must have been for a good reason.

I thought, what kind of people are they.

And it seems that the uncle, who claimed to be our uncle, quickly completed the procedures to inherit the title. I don't remember the details.

In any case, we were kicked out of our home by the sudden appearance of the uncle and aunt.

At that time, I was only 2 years old and only remember crying.

Marie, who felt sorry for us with nowhere to go, took us in. We have been living together in this town, which was Marie's hometown.

Marie's son and his wife also died with our parents. Yet, they took us in out of a sense of gratitude. It is a very kind thing.

"Well, Marie, I'm going now!"

"Oh, my, have a good day!"

"Leo, be good, okay?"

"Brother, I'm always good!"

"Leo, have a good day"

"Leo, Leo!"

"Sister, it's too tight!"

"Sister, have a good day"

"Oh, how cute! I'm going now!"

This is our usual morning routine. Reia and Leo hug the second eldest, Nico, and me in turn before leaving.

Reia rubs her cheek against mine every day. I wish she would stop.

Actually, I have a secret that I must keep hidden... I have memories from my previous life.

A year ago, when my parents died, I was suddenly called. I was called by the goddess of creation, the main deity of this world. I remembered it then.

"S-S-Sorry! B-B-Bye!"

This is the goddess of creation and the main deity of this world, Licia Divina. Let me tell you about this weak, crying goddess.

The night our parents died, I got into bed. At the age of 2, I might have been emotionally shocked. I remember having trouble falling asleep.

And then, I was called by Licia Divina, the goddess of creation of this world.
