"Sophia, she... she is finally awake."(Mother)

Said my mother with a tear forming in her eyes toward my half-asleep father while waking him.

Hearing mother's word, my father's sleepy eyes then became wide open in an instant, he then rises from his sleeping position to a sitting position.

From down here, I can see that father has a really bewildered look on his face.

Well, I can't really blame him for having that look, imagine hearing a piece of shocking news right after you woke up, your reaction will be the same as my father's.

I honestly don't know if hearing 'me' waking up is a big deal enough to make someone make that kind of face.

Then a thought came to me.

"What if... what if it's actually a big deal."

Setting that matter aside, my father is now facing my mother, he with his bewildered look then said with an unbelieving tone.

"R-really!!!"(Neil)

"Nod, Nod "

Nodded my mother while directing my father's point of view toward me.

Heeding mother's direction, father's eyes then meet with mine, that moment and just by that one look from him instantly made me think.

"(This person.. is my father)"(Sophia)

I can feel thousands of complex emotions contained within that single look from him.

Even though so, I still can't comprehend how a child waking up would make a parent felt that kind of emotion.

From his point of view, I should just be his asleep daughter who had just woken up.

Leaving the mystery for later, I then responded to my father's look by making a cute sound.

"Uwa?" (Sophia)

Father's reaction to that is... let just say it is indecipherable. Is he happy or is he sad right now?

With that weird look on his face, he then unbelievingly said to my mother.

"Is-is this true?, or am I dreaming?"(Neil)

Hearing father's word, mother then immediately embraced him In her furry arms, with tears flowing from her eyes, mother then tearfully said.

"No... this is not a dream."(Emilia)

"Our daughter... Sophia has truly woke up."(Emilia)

Following her, my father has also shed tears after tears of happiness.

My parent is embracing each other while crying their heart's out.

Being orphaned since birth, this scene that is unfolding before me is something that I could only imagine in my past life.

This might be also a sign to let go of my past life and to live my present.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Anyway, setting all of the 'above' matter aside, I'm a bit confused with my mother's word.

'Finally woke up'

That sentence is bugging me since earlier, I then remembered the fact that I instantly slept when I first opened my eyes.

If that's true, then just how long did I slept until their reaction would became like this when I woke up?

Judging from their short conversation and reaction, it must have been quite long till my parent is worried sick about me.

I mean, just where in the world can you find a newborn cub who had opened her eyes for the first time for just a moment before going into a deep and long sleep.

Now that I had said that, now I feel quite guilty toward them.

If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

After a while, my parent then stopped crying and they had already calmed down.

They then have a conversation in a volume that's inaudible from my distance.

I then take the chance to get a closer look at my parent, with just a glance I could tell that they are not just a pair of a normal wolf.

If I can describe them using words, I would describe my parent as 'Majestic, Dignified, Royal'.

Father, with his silky and shiny black fur alongside his ruby-colored sharp eyes that gave him that kind of mysterious feeling around him.

On the other hand, I would describe my mother as 'Warm, Gentle and Kind', with her soft-looking fur and her sapphire-colored eyes.

After looking at my parent's figure, I honestly can't help but wonder if I had inherited any of my parent's unique features.

All I know about myself currently is that my name is Sophia, I'm a girl, I'm also a wolf, and my fur is bluish-white colored.

That status-like interface earlier is completely useless, it didn't explain anything about myself, I even found out about my name on my own.

It's truly a waste of expectations.

Anyway, wiping his face clean of any traces of remaining tears, Father then asked my mother.

"Emilia, can I hold Sophia for a moment? No, no, can she even be moved right now? shouldn't we call the doctor first?"(Neil)

My father is truly panicking about my condition, just by that simple reaction, my gut feeling that he is a good father then were strengthened.

My mother then eased my panicking father with a pat on the back.

"Darling, first you need to calm down."(Emilia)

"O-okay, you're right."(Neil)

"Inhale, Exhale"

After father has calmed down for a bit, mother then said.

"Second, you shouldn't ask me that question, ask Sophia herself."(Emilia)

"That does make sense."(Neil)

"(Just where in the world does that make sense?)"(Sophia)

Ignoring my internal retortion, my father then asked me in a soft tone.

"Sophia, can I... Can daddy hold you?"(Neil)

And he really asked a newborn cub.

Wow! as expected from an isekai, the unexpected always hit when it wasn't expected.

"Nod"

I then lightly nodded my small head to my father's question, father who had seen that then lit up in happiness on the other hand, my mother then said in a low volume.

"Does this mean, can Sophia actually understand our conversation?"(Emilia)

I instinctively gulped out of anxiousness when I heard that, did mother find something odd about her child?.

While I was worried about that, my mother's next word eases me.

"A newborn cub is really amazing."(Emilia)

I can feel that mother truly meant what she just said and I also feel like my parent has no experience of taking care of a child.

Anyway, back to my father, he is now standing ( on 4 legs) on the floor, he then said.

"It is a bit hard to hold her in this form, wait a moment Sophia, daddy is going to transform."(Neil)

After he said that, father's body then shined, I can see that father's silhoutte is changing into a humanoid form with each second.

My father then stopped shining after around 5 seconds and I'm beginning to doubt my eyes.

My current father is no longer in his black wolf form, he had transformed into a young human man with black wolf ears and tail.

Father's facial features look around 25-ish and he is also attractively handsome.

His former characteristics remained in this human form such as his silky black long hair, and his ruby-colored red eyes.

Father's overall body is quite well-toned, if he was born on Earth, I'm sure that he would be like one of those super popular K-pop idols.

When I look at his upper body, I noticed that he have a circular scar on his right chest.

How do I know that?

That's because father is standing next to the bed while being stark naked, and for some reason, a ray of light is censoring father's private part.

"Snap"

When father snapped his finger, a casual clothes of black long-sleeved shirt and grey pants suddenly 'equipped' on father's body.

"That's better."(Neil)

The fully clothed father then gently lifted me from the bed straight to the front of his face.

Our point of view is now even, he then stared at me for a short moment.

"(Shi*, my father is really handsome!)"(Sophia)

He then embraced my little furry body on his warm arm... too tightly,

"(T-too tight, I-i can't breathe.)"(Sophia)

He then rubbed his non-bearded chin on my face, I even poked him using my soft paw to signal him to stop hugging me.

I don't know if that worked or not but he has loosened his tight hug, he then said while facing my face.

"I'm your daddy, look at this Sophia."(Neil)

After he said that, his wolf ear then moved up and down, I instinctively smiled by the sheer cuteness of that simple action.

"Ah!, she smiled, Darling!, Sophia is smiling."(Emilia)

That's my mother's reaction, I thought that father would be overjoyed, but that is not what happened.

Rather than being overjoyed, father is looking downward while standing still.

"Darling?"(Emilia)

Mother worriedly said toward father, he then said in a tone full of emotion.

"I'm thankful.... I'm grateful that I can finally do something father-like with Sophia."(Neil)

"Neil..."(Emilia)

Lifting his face upward, father then said.

"That's right, I forgot to say this earlier."(Neil)

With a wide smile on his handsome face, he then said this toward me who is being held in front of his face.

"Good morning Sophia, my sweet little gem."(Neil)
