I woke up to the brightness of the window.
Reira is not next to me.
She must be preparing breakfast.
"Okay, okay."
Yuu slipped off the bed, which was still too high for his small body, and stood on the floor.
Naturally, his head is unkempt.
I started living with Reira in April, and it's now May.
It's already quite warm.
I walk barefoot, step onto the sink in the bathroom, reach out and scoop up some water to wash my face.
I'm still small and have a hard time doing anything.
"Hey, Reera."
As usual, he greets her with a lisp.
Even if the mind is an adult, the body of a child is difficult.
"Good morning. I see you woke up properly this morning. Take a seat."
Miss. Reira turned around from the kitchen and said so, wearing a clean white apron.
When I climbed into the child's chair, Reira brought it to the table.
A cute floral-patterned mat has already been spread out on the table, and the food is lined up.
This morning I had round bread, fried eggs, and sausage. Also broccoli and carrots.
Then warm corn soup. And milk. Then yogurt.
Neither I nor Reira are picky about food, so we always have nutritious food on our table.
Reira seems to have received training as a nutritionist, so she always takes care of the three meals he eats.
"Thannnku!"
"I'll enjoy having this"
I started eating when Reira took a seat.
Breakfast for just the two of us.
Happy time.
In my previous life,I ate the food prepared by my helper by myself, so it feels special to eat with someone who cares about me like this.
"Delicious. Always there."
"Hehe."
This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.
When I thanked her while munching, Reira smiled kindly at me.
"It's great because you eat it without being picky."
Reira said so and praised me.
However, since I have memories of my previous life, I can't think about things like likes and dislikes, or leaving food behind.
That's why when I hear that, I end up looking confused because I don't understand what's so great about it.
"You're still not used to being praised."
Reira looks at me with a sad, lonely smile, her eyebrows arched slightly.
At times like this, I just pretend I can't hear and keep munching.
It's delicious.
After meals, Reira usually does the housework while I sit quietly.
I chose to study at home, so after Reira finishes her housework, she will be my home-school teacher.
However, since I have memories from my previous life, I am surprised Reira by completing the course one by one.
I think it will probably be included in the elementary school curriculum soon. I've even memorized the letters in the past month.
That's why I don't need to "read aloud," so I sit on the sofa and quietly read children's books by myself.
However, the book is too big for my small body.
I thought that was the plan for today as well, but towards the end of the meal, something unexpected was said to me.
"Yuu's family will be visiting this afternoon."
"Huh?"
I couldn't help but forget that I was still a child.
I accidentally reacted to Reira's words, which I didn't think was aimed at a three-year-old.
Did you say family?
By family, do you mean Reira?
...No, isn't that strange?
There must be someone who gave birth to me.
I'm sure that's what Reira is talking about when it comes to family.
Oh, you mean parents?
What is a parent?
Yuu, who has no memories or experience of a decent family from his previous life, has a hard time understanding the obvious.
For Suguru, family was nothing more than written information, and was something he had no experience or real feeling of.
In this life with Reira, family meant Reira, and there was never any doubt about that.
He had thought about the concept of family over the past three years, but he never understood that being ''blood related'' meant anything.
Unlike in my previous life, in this life Reira fulfilled everything for me.
Before Reira appeared, he had never thought about family.
"After you eat lunch early, let's get dressed. We're meeting for the first time, so we need to look good."
Leaving me confused and speechless, Reira continued with the conversation as if it were natural.
I suddenly regained my composure and asked.
"Um, what is Famly?"
Wow, my tongue....
I wonder if development is slow.
''Yuu's mother, grandmother, and younger sisters are coming.''
Another bombshell statement.
younger sister?
Grandmother?
I know the words.
But I can't understand what's happening to me!
When Yuu was reincarnated into this world, he thought the society was no different from his previous life.
Even when he spoke at the facility, he didn't feel out of place.
He didn't have any particular discomfort with the children's books he's been reading lately.
The fact that only boys were gathered together, the fact that they lived together, the fact that he had to live with Reira at the age of three, and the fact that he heard about the title of ''male protection officer,'' his past life experiences did not raise any doubts.
In his previous life, Suguru had no parents or blood relatives, he was taken into care at the age of three, lived alone and was half bedridden, the only people he interacted with were helpers, and he was partially sighted and only knew about the world through written information.
For Yuu, he thought that the way he was treating him in this life was something as ordinary as saying, ''That's how it is.''
In his previous life, all he cared about was the small world around him, so he thought that ''his family,'' ''home,'' and ''the lives of ordinary people'' had nothing to do with him, as if they were foreign things. He just felt that there was no such thing.
"I guess you were scared of me too."
When he said that with a shocked face, Reira blinked her eyes,
"It's natural. Yuu was born by your mother."
She smiled kindly as she said that.
He is given an early lunch and dressed in fresh clothes.
His shiny silver hair, cut to his shoulders, was carefully combed, giving him an elegant and childish appearance.
There were many rooms in this house, and he sat in the drawing room, ready to welcome their.
Eventually, the ringtone rang from the front door, and Reira went to greet it.
