Chapter 2

When I woke up, I saw a blue sky.

It seemed like I was still lying down, so I tried to get up, but my body wouldn’t move as I wanted.

I tried to speak, but only managed to make sounds like “ah” and “uh.”

Then, I remembered. I had been reincarnated into another world, and I had been reborn as a baby.

I tried to look around, but I couldn’t move much, and my field of vision was limited. It seemed I was in a basket.

Since I was supposed to be reincarnated into an orphanage, I was probably an abandoned baby.

As I was thinking about this, something seemed to be approaching.

A shadow fell over me, and an elderly woman with a kind face peered into the basket where I was.

Ah, she must be the director of the orphanage, I thought.

“Oh my, what are you doing here?”

As she said this, the woman picked me up and gently stroked my head.

I felt so good that I wet myself, but that’s a secret only I know…

After that, I was taken to a nearby building and began living at the Sirius Orphanage.

Although I was living there, I was a baby, so I would be raised.

I couldn’t move or speak, so I decided to start by gathering information.

After a few days, I learned a few things.

First, this place was called the Sirius Orphanage.

I hadn’t been taken out of the building yet, so I didn’t know where it was located.

The building was a bit old but seemed spacious.

Living here were the director I first met, one helper woman, and about ten children.

Among the children, there were non-human races.

There were beastmen, who had human bodies with animal ears and tails, and beasts, who looked like animals walking on two legs.

According to an appraisal, the beastmen were half-human and half-beast. In any case, they were fluffy and cute.

Incidentally, there was one rabbit girl and one wolf boy at the orphanage.

Although it was an orphanage, it was unusual for babies to be abandoned. The children were very interested in me and always gathered around me.

Is this what they call the "popular period"?

From the clothes and food, it seemed we weren’t wealthy, but we weren’t extremely poor either.

The children always smiled, and the director and staff were kind, so I felt I had been picked up by a good place.

After a few more days, I had nothing to do!!

As a baby, I couldn’t move around or speak.

Thanks to my magic manipulation, I could somewhat sense magic, but with the children always around, I couldn’t practice magic from a young age and become a magic god or anything like that.

Hmm, I’m so bored.

After that, during the day, I practiced circulating the magic within my body, absorbing magic from the air, and expelling it to increase my proficiency.

At night, I practiced making small breezes without being noticed or causing trouble. Other elements would be too noticeable.

Then, about a month after I arrived at the orphanage, an incident occurred.

Another baby had been brought to the orphanage.

Thanks to everyone, my work "Orphanage Tamer" has won the "HJ Net Novel Award 2018."
