Chapter 4: Alter Les Reedwald

Here we go again.

When I open my eyes, I’m surrounded by a soft light.

I moved my gaze in disgust, but there was no sign of the little fat god or the spoiled dog.

I must have escaped from them.

It’s not every day that someone dies twice in such a short time.

I don’t know if I’m paralyzed with too much dismay, but I don’t even feel anger.

Well, regardless of my feelings, I’ll have to execute the sentence of pulling around the luxurious flesh and shaving my entire body.

Having a distinction is good.

From the feel on my back, it seemed I’m lying on my bed.

I tried to get up, but I can’t do that.

There’s something around me.

There must have been nothing in the world of the little fat god.

I strained my eyes, but I couldn’t see anything out.

I tried to get closer to check, but my body isn’t moving like normal.

I could feel my legs.

If my body was healed, it could be replicated again – no, the little fat god had said it was a world with magic.

Could it be that I’m not dead?

Did someone save me?

I move my hand to rub my eyes and freeze again.

In silence, I observed my fingertips and palms, stretching my fingers and holding them up.

Then I concluded.

This is a baby finger.

No, no, no, it isn’t my finger?

It looks cute, right?

Seriously, seriously, what’s going on?

As I was gulping, I heard a noise.

A big shadow is approaching.

Its outline looks like a woman’s body. But if I’m a baby, is it my mother?

I don’t remember being born.

The woman spoke to me, but I couldn’t understand her.

She speaks a language I had never heard before.

I could tell from the tone of her voice that she was concerned about me.

I had no idea what was going on, but someone saves my life in exchange for my age.

I was relieved when suddenly a clear voice echoed in my mind.

“Uh-oh, can you hear me? Are you okay? This is god. Can you hear me?”

This voice.

“Oh, it seems you can hear me. Uh, ......, well, that’s it. I’m sorry. There was a slight mistake. I sent you to the wrong place, teehee.”

Bullshit! You’re the one who said “Ah” when the dog got around you!

Come here, I’ll beat you up!

“I’m glad to hear you’re doing well. Now, if I interfere too much, I’ll get complaints, so this is the first and last time I’ll talk to you. It’s the same world as before, and I’ve reincarnated you in a safe place. Please have a happy and cheerful life this time. Also, don’t forget to check your abilities and skills, your status will open when you think about it. Have a good life.”

With that, the voice trailed off.

There was so much more I needed to say, but it seemed to have come to an end.

While I was relieved, I immediately felt uneasy.

I’m sure there’s a mistake in what he’s doing.

He said I could open up my status if I thought about it.

Is that what I was doing to the bug man earlier?

When I focused on myself, the status opened successfully, though it felt a little different.

Name: Alter Les Reedwald

Race: Human

This is a mid-level skill in the appraisal system.

You can learn the name, status, and characteristics of your target.

You may fail to appraise the target’s abilities, magic, skills, titles, and detailed info.

The appraisal of oneself can be done reliably, except in exceptional cases.

The two that compensate for growth potential are the cheats that the little fat god was talking about.

All the other effects are exactly as the name implies.

As a test, I “appraised” the woman, and her name was Meredy.

There was nothing in her title, so she was not my mother.

Her abilities ranged from 6 to 10, which seemed to be the average for women.

I also “appraised” her clothing, and it showed up as a maid’s uniform.

“Meredy.”

The door opens another woman walks in.

Behind her, a large man and a small shadow.

The woman who called Meredy stood up beside me and started talking to them.

Then the woman came up to me and picked me up from the bed.

I thought Meredy was big, but this woman and the man were much bigger than her.

The woman rocked me from side to side, calling my name.

I responded with a smile as she seemed to be nudging me, and activated the “Appraisal”.

The woman’s name is Henriette.

According to her title, she was the second daughter of a viscountess and my mother.

The big man was my father, Urban and the small man looking up at her was my brother, Lakius.

That’s my whole family, I guess.

The appraisal does not show my family structure.

As I was thinking about this, my mother entrusted me to my father.

Then she suddenly twisted around and exposed her breasts to me.

What are you doing, Mother?

No way!

It was mealtime for me, after all.

As my parents and the maids looked on, I ate my mother’s milk until my stomach was full.

It was unexpectedly sweet and delicious.

While I was exposed to such shameful play, my brother seemed to be embarrassed and kept his head down the entire time.

I’m the embarrassed one. I am a high school student inside.

After that, I spent the rest of the family time with my father holding me up high in the sky and my brother poking me.

After a while, they must have gotten tired, because they put me back on the bed and left the room.

Meredy, who was left alone in the room, put the blanket back on, said something to me, and left the bed.

She doesn’t leave the room it’s her job to watch over me.

I was released and laid out in bed.

The little fat god was right.

At least I was safe now.

Well, even if it is – it’s a hell of a life.

I thought back on the trajectory of my life. From my previous life to my current life, as a running lantern.

As I did so, I felt sleepy. My consciousness gradually became blurred.

Suddenly, I smelled a sweet fragrance and turned my gaze to the window.

Name: Milrim Grass

Features: A perennial herb about 30 cm tall. Its flowering season is around spring. Bright blue flowers bloom in clusters at the tips of long stems.

Characteristics: Unknown

The blue flowers are shining in the sunlight.

So, it’s spring now.

Thinking of this, I slowly closed my eyelids.
