Chapter 5

After sleeping for a while, I woke up feeling hungry and found myself in a room with a lavishly decorated ceiling.

(Gah, ahhh, phew, I slept well...

Shit, I’m so hungry, what should I do? Crying at twenty is a bit embarrassing, isn’t it...

No, no, why am I worrying about my appearance now! I should have thrown that away a long time ago!

Alright, I’m going to cry, I’m really going to cry!)

While I was mentally criticizing myself, the woman who called herself Sophie yesterday seemed to notice that I had opened my eyes.

"Oh, Rain, you’re hungry, aren’t you?

I’ll give you some milk right away."

She said this and lifted her skirt.

(O, oh! Oh, oh! Oh? I’m not thinking anything.

Well, she has a decent size, probably a D-cup. Is it because I’m a baby? Or because she’s a mother? Or both?

Also, when a woman uses baby talk to me, it makes my back feel a bit itchy.)

"Keh, keh" (I choked because I drank too quickly)

"Oh, you must have been very hungry."

After drinking for a while, I became full and let go of her breast.

I was then laid down in what looked like a baby bed.

"I’m going to sleep again. Wake me if anything happens."

"Yes, ma’am."

With that, my mother closed her eyes.

(Did she wake up just to feed me? Why?)

I convinced myself that there are people like that and started to vocalize the skills I saw yesterday one by one.

"Aa, Aaa" (Great MP Increase)

Of course, no sound came out.

"Aa" (Divine Speed)

"Aa, Aaaaa, Aa, Aaaaa" (My spear is the weakest, my shield is the strongest)

Although I couldn’t pronounce them, the maid next to me seemed to misunderstand and started to soothe me, saying, "There, there, good boy."

(Uh, this is embarrassing...)

There’s no choice, I’ll stop here.

I tried chanting three skill names, but nothing happened.

(Great MP Increase is probably that.

It’s probably a bonus when you level up. I can imagine that.

Next, Divine Speed is probably the AGI 18 (+36) from yesterday’s status. I can’t think of anything else.

Both are probably passive skills, which is convenient.)

It’s easier to have always active skills because if you need to chant, you might get confused in an emergency.

(Next, well, I don’t want to say this, but I have no choice, right?

Who are you? You’re me, you!

My spear! It’s so long!

Is it passive? You’re a passive skill, right?

It can’t be an active skill that requires you to say it out loud, can it? You can’t say such a long sentence in battle.

In a pinch, "Gah, my spear is the weakest, my shield is Gahhh" would happen, right?)

After a while, I calmed down and, seeing that the midwife from yesterday was a bit away, I tried chanting the skills again in a small voice.

"Aaa" (Full Magic Absorption)

(Nothing really changed, huh?)

"Aa" (No Chant)

(This also didn’t change anything, right?)

Of course, it’s natural that it doesn’t require chanting right now.

"Aa, Uu" (Sorcerer King)

(—Nothing, no change... No, nothing! Right, nothing!)

After chanting six times with no change (some are clearly passive skills), I felt like crying. Or I was about to cry.

Then,

"A, Aaaaaa"

Suddenly, something welled up and I started to cry.

(Huh? I’m not a crybaby! I was about to cry, though...

Ah, it’s because I’m a baby, right?)

Even if it wasn’t enough to make me cry at twenty, it was enough to make me almost cry, so this body couldn’t handle it.

"Lady! Lady! Please wake up!

Lord Rain is crying!"

"Uu, uu...? Oh, really!

There, there, good boy, your diaper isn’t wet and I just fed you, so why are you crying?"

"That’s what babies do.

They cry when they’re hungry, uncomfortable, or unhappy, and sometimes they cry for no reason."

"Oh, is that so? If you say so, then it must be.

There, there, good boy."

(Playing a baby at twenty... I could die of embarrassment.)

After crying for a while, I was suddenly overwhelmed by drowsiness and lost consciousness.
