When a technical term appears for the first time, it is marked with 〈 〉, but don't worry too much about it; you can read on without any issues.

Today is a nice day.

Of course, the sun isn't smiling, and I've never seen a puppy, so I can't be sure if they smile or not.

...If they did, it would be scary, wouldn't it?

The maid is humming something while wiping the window.

I can't see her face well because she's turned away, but she seems to be enjoying herself, swaying her head and hair from side to side, and she must be smiling.

She is wiping the corners and frames carefully, and she does this every day.

Today, the maid has blue hair.

Perhaps to avoid getting in the way of her work, she has tied her sky-blue hair into a short ponytail with a ribbon of a similar color.

The white nape of her neck and the few strands of hair visible behind it add a sensual touch to her fresh and lively appearance.

She is about 150 cm tall.

Since she can't reach the top of the window, she is standing on a stepladder she brought herself.

Her skirt reaches just below her knees, and her slender calves are covered by white socks.

She looks very proper and modest.

The idea of a mini-skirted maid is just a fantasy. It's completely shattered!

...Getting back to the topic, she is a beautiful girl even when viewed from the front.

Her chestnut eyes are large and slightly slanted, giving her a serious look, but her well-defined face, which looks to be in her mid-teens, lacks harshness, and her gentle smile makes her appear cute.

She might be lowering her voice a bit around the baby, but it's not a high-pitched, shrill voice; rather, it's a bit lower.

Her voice is clear even when she speaks softly.

It's a shame I can't understand the meaning of her words...

However, if such a middle or high school girl existed in my previous life, she would definitely have entered the entertainment industry, and not as part of a group but as a solo artist.

She's at a level I've never seen in real life.

By the way, the size of her chest... it's hard to tell with the maid's uniform. Is it average? I don't know what the standard is in this world.

The simple blue and white maid's uniform matches her very well. It's not overly flashy, you know?

Well, it's no use just staring at her.

For me, who knows nothing about this world, observing my surroundings and learning about this world is the only thing I can do and the most important task.

It's "desu te ni" (a phrase meaning "that's just the way it is").

I was observing the beautiful girl from head to toe with my eyes wide open for that reason!

...

...

Now, after a few days of observation, I can tell that the civilization level is similar to medieval Europe...? That's all I can say!

Do you think my description is too casual compared to the maid? It's just your imagination!

Anyway, everything I can see is inside the room and outside the window, so most of it is just speculation.

There's no TV or radio, of course—though even if there were, I wouldn't understand the language—and I can't hear the sound of cars or horses, probably because the trees and stone walls are blocking them.

There are no electrical appliances or mechanical devices in the room.

Well, it's possible that they are too large or too noisy to be in the baby's room.

The bars of the crib are simply designed but stylish, and the craftsmanship is solid, indicating that the craftsmen are skilled.

There are window panes too. They might be high-quality.

Moreover, the view outside the window is hardly distorted by the glass, which suggests a fairly advanced level of technology.

The bed sheets are well-made and have a good feel, and the fabric of the curtains and the maid's uniform seems to be of good quality.

They must be from a bourgeois family, so they probably have good things, but the stitching is also meticulous.

I don't think it's a sewing machine. It's probably hand-sewn.

...Oh right! It seems there is magic in this world!

I haven't seen fireballs or anything, but I have seen glowing stones!

Not natural stones that light up in the dark, but ones that are clearly turned on and off by someone.

They are basically used as lighting.

There are milky white, round stones embedded in the ceiling, and they seem to be operated by a switch on the wall.

They don't look like electric lights, and when the switch is operated, I can feel a strange sensation passing from the wall to the ceiling, and it continues while the light is on.

Is this "magic power"?

The light turns off automatically after a while, but it seems more like the magic power is running out rather than an auto-off function.

It's all speculation, but...

Still, when I woke up in the middle of the night a while ago and saw this lighting, I was really relieved.

It would feel like a horror movie if the only light in a mansion at midnight was a candle. What would I do if a murder happened!?

I would cry even if I were a baby.

Well, I need to investigate magic more in the future!

Next, the people who enter and exit this room... or rather, this mansion.

First, the maids.

There are the blue-haired girl and the cat-eared girl.

By the way, the cat-eared girl has hair of a pinkish-orange color, with a fluffy short cut.

She is slightly shorter than the blue-haired girl, and probably around the same age... or maybe a bit younger?

Her slightly orange-yellow eyes are large and look very active. She is very adorable.

Her voice is so clear that I wonder if she has a voice actor. If she shouted in my ear, it would probably make my ears ring.

I can't see any body hair or whiskers under her clothes.

Incidentally, I can't see any breast development either...

I would love to investigate the mysteries under her clothes!

No, no! I mean, it's purely academic interest in a different species.

I'm not a lolicon, I swear!

I swear... right?

Anyway...

The most distinctive feature is the white "ears" and "tail" that stick out from the top of her head and the base of her buttocks.

The ears are not on the top of her head but stand up from the sides, like a human's.

There are two ears, not one for the human form and one for the cat form.

...It's a bit surreal to imagine.

Her face is no different from a human's.

The tail is designed to fit through a slit in the back of her maid's skirt, which can be buttoned to the waist to prevent any gaps.

It's a bit hard to explain, but imagine a zipper on the front of a skirt or the front of men's pants, but on the back of the skirt.

It's a very practical design because if the tail were under the skirt, it would flip up when she was startled.

The base of the tail is adorned with a large white ribbon, making it very cute.

She works happily, moving her ears and tail, which is a sight that never gets old.

One day, I will definitely touch them!

With this renewed determination... it seems the main maids are these two.

I have only seen three people in total, including another one.

It's not clear if there are only three of them or if these three are just the ones assigned to this room.

Next are our parents, or what you might call "my parents."

First, the mother.

She is... incredibly young!

She might be the same age as the maids, or even younger...

At first glance, she looks like a middle school student.

Her voice is youthful but not high-pitched; it's a soothing soprano that heals the heart. Her slow speech adds to the healing effect.

—Perhaps I should call it an "angelic healing voice." It almost seems like a special ability.

Her hair is long and golden, tied up at the top of her head and flowing down to her waist.

It has a slight wave, like a golden waterfall. It seems to emit negative ions.

Her eyes are a clear blue and round.

She is a mix of cuteness and beauty, like a doll.

Surprisingly, she is slightly taller than the maids, maybe around 160 cm?

And her chest...

Her chest is....

—Sorry. I'll refrain from detailed descriptions.

No, I can describe it! I can describe it in more detail and specifically than the maids!

After all, I used all five senses to the fullest.

I am a baby, after all.

If I had to describe it in one word... "She is a holy mother."

I get to see her multiple times a day. How blessed.

I bowed twice, once for each side.

Of course, it's out of gratitude for her care. Don't misunderstand.

I'm not excited or anything.

...I'm already used to it, yes!

By the way, the other maid I didn't mention earlier seems to be a wet nurse.

We are twins, and it seems to be too much for one person.

She always comes with my mother—though "Mom" might be more fitting for my appearance, it's a bit embarrassing.

She is in her mid-20s, I think.

She is a bit taller than my mother, with short brown hair and eyes of a similar color.

She is beautiful but gives a very open and friendly impression, like a true mother.

She talks to my mother in a friendly way...

Though she wears a maid's uniform, she seems more like a friend from the neighborhood who has come to help with childcare.

Perhaps she is raising her own child while working here...

Her supply is ample, equal to or even greater than my mother's.

Impressive.

Next, the father.

He seems very busy, and I've only seen him twice so far, but he is also a refreshing young man.

He is about 180 cm tall.

He has short silver hair and emerald eyes, and his facial features... especially the placement of his eyes, are sharp, but his expression is bright and not intimidating.

He seems to have a solid build but is slender, like a fine-muscled man.

He is probably in his early 20s, and he doesn't have a manly aura.

Actually, he is about the same age as me in my previous life...?

His voice is not too low and is also refreshing. He seems to suit lemons or limes.

He should try appearing in a laundry detergent commercial.

With such citrus-like pheromones, he must have gotten such a beautiful girl...

Explode in a big way! Killer Queen.

Overall, he gives the impression of a court knight rather than a noble. He is clearly a military type, not a civil servant.

Thinking back, the first time I met him, he seemed to be wearing something like a military uniform, so he might actually be one.

...Looking at it this way, the handsome rate is 100% at this point! And they are all young.

What is this cheat family?

This might be the norm in this world, or it might just be my perception as a person from another world...

Still, this is a fantasy world, after all.
