-Really short chapter this time that basically just gives an overlook to his infancy and home environment. Time skip of a few years coming for next time, mainly because writing about an infant, even precocious scheming ones, can get real boring, real fast. I may release some short chapters in the future, but rest assured they won't be this short again.-
-4 months later-
Ryzan thought about the last few months, and knew something was definitely wrong with his growth. First and foremost, that he knew that it was unnatural. He'd been able to most understand spoken word since the day he was born, and his vocabulary increased to even include words he had never heard before. His understanding of balance was apparently above average, judging by his mother's squeals and cheers when he had stood up a month ago. Plus there was how weird breastfeeding made him, he knew it was supposed to be natural but he always felt odd doing it. The biggest was knowing that the aspect of defecating in his pants was humiliating right from the start... a fact that made it quite annoying when he was only just now capable of holding it for even a short while.
Ryzan had no idea why all of this stuff was crammed in his head, but it was starting to disturb him quite a bit. Suddenly a loud crash was heard outside the room. He looked curiously at the doorway while leaning on the railings of his crib until he heard the voice of Liza.
(liza) “Oh shoot, that's another one broken. Guess this one will be taken from my pay as well”*whimper*
(ryzan) ah that sound.... I wonder if it's bad I like to hear her when she's upset... but this could be a good chance to use my training.
The owner of the voice was the very first person Ryzan had seen in this world, and she was a live-in maid for his family. He honestly hadn't figured out what his family did for a living, but apparently it paid well enough to have a maid like Liza. A fact that made Ryzan very happy. It actually didn't have much to do with the money, Ryzan couldn't seem to get himself to care about money, but he did care a lot about Liza... especially her ears. Liza was a canine beastman... specifically a teenage beastman with a curvy figure, silver/grey fox tail and ears, and light silver eyes. Ryan found that, for some reason, he got excited and lost his calm and most deep thought processes in her presence.
(ryzan) *Listens and hears Liza's steps just outside his open door* . I spent the last month testing out my vocal chords and I think I can manage this. Failure gets nothing, success gets... rewards “li...sa...?” *Listens to the tell-tale shatter* SUCCESS!!!!!
(liza) *Ignores the re-broken remains of the plate she had been picking up, and dashes into Ryzan's room with a clearly flustered expression* Did I really hear that? Probably just imagining it right.. *Stares intently at Ryzan in curiosity*
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
(ryzan) YEEESS!! *Watches Liza's ears and tail twitching as she stares at him with an adorable expression* This is going perfectly, now to just seal the deal! “li...sa....hi”
(liza) “KYAHHHHHHHH!!” *Dashes over to Ryzan hugging him into her chest as her ears and tail dance wildly* “KAYLA, MADAM KAYLA!!!! COME QUICK KYAHHHH!!!” *Starts making happy whining sounds with tears forming*
(ryzan) *Looks up at Liza's face in bliss* Ahh this soft sensation, those spasming ears, that amazing whine.... This is the moment that balances those months being able to do nothing but crap myself and breastfeed*Small tears in his eyes* I don't quite know why I enjoy this so much, but I definitely do. To be alive.... is a wonderful thing!!!
(kayla) *Loudly dashes through the house and into the room* “What is it Liza!? Is something wrong with Ryzan!?”
(liza) “Nonono Kayla nothing bad it's just” *Squeals a bit while holding Ryan out * “Do it again Ryry, who am I?”
(ryzan) *Looks back and forth at Liza's twitching ears, wagging tail, and beaming face almost forming stars in his eyes* I don't think I will ever outdo this moment so long as I live. What now... I guess there's that love thing that keeps popping into my head when I see her. I still don't know if it actually means anything though. “li....li..sa....ai.. luff” *Rapidly drops as Liza faints while still holding him* Oh crap, too far!
(kayla) *Stares in shock and joy as her son starts speaking, but snaps out of it when Liza faints. Thankfully catching Liza and Ryzan before anything bad could happen* whew, that was close.. *Slowly lays Liza down and then picks up Ryzan rather excitedly* “ok now Ryzan. Can you say ma ma. Say ma ma”
(ryzan) thank you mother, amazing save. Seriously. Now there's no way I can refuse the woman who brought me into this world to experience this wonderful day, so here goes “kai...la”
(kayla) *hugs ryzan tightly with a huge smile* “that's right baby, I'm kayla, but remember you have to call me mama. Can you do that?”
(ryzan) “ma...ma”
(kayla) *swoons a little and squeals while hugging even tighter* “Ahaha I can't believe you can talk so well at 4 months, my little baby is a genius, definitely not taking after your father on that side... though in other cases” *Eye's the passed out Liza, who starts giggling in her sleep, with a raised eyebrow* Of course he had to go inherit that useless bum's one and only talent..... sigh.... the village's future is in jeopardy at this rate.
