Chapter 2: The Sweetest Milk
When my eyes finally developed enough to follow colors and objects, it had been approximately five weeks since that cold day; I presumed. From that day on, I noticed many things, and one of them was that I had reincarnated. I had truly achieved my dream and had another life.
At first, I was a bit worried, but eventually, realizing that the woman I believed to be my mother treated me very well and the number of people constantly kissing me on the cheek around assured me that I was in a wonderful family.
But now there was something to worry about because a man I had never seen before had come to check on me. Luckily, I could sense that the woman who was my mother was here, but it made me uncomfortable for this man to touch my body. Since these people were constantly speaking in a language I didn't understand, I couldn't comprehend what they were saying.
Actually, the language they spoke resembled European languages a bit, but it definitely wasn't a language from my previous world, or at least not one of the popular languages.
In my previous life, I could say that I was knowledgeable about cultures and languages because I was a history teacher. Actually, the reason for this was not only because I was a history teacher but also because I had a general interest in linguistics. Anyway, right now, I was either in another world or had gone back in time, but I desperately wanted to be in a different world.
Since I noticed the man talking to my mother making her laugh, I guessed that the man carrying me in his arms was my father. But when I saw another man enter the room and bow respectfully, it surprised me.
I thought I might have been mistaken in my guess because the new man picked me up, but this man was talking to my mother and the man who had just been holding me with a serious look on his face. Finally, they put me on a soft pillow on the floor, and suddenly, silence filled the room.
Unlike the two men who were looking at me with serious expressions, my mother had a worried look on her face, but she was also quietly waiting in a corner. Suddenly, when I heard a rattling sound, I looked in the direction of the sound and saw the man who had just entered the room tossing a toy. When I looked where the sound was coming from, everyone, including my mother, smiled.
Later, the man who had just entered approached me, and when he touched my arm, I flinched because I felt a slight pain. This pain was like a mosquito bite, but since it happened unexpectedly, I looked at the man's hand and saw a needle in his hand. While I was wondering why I was subjected to such a thing, I was surprised when I heard my mother's joyful smile
Then the man forcefully turned my head towards him and opened his palm. At that moment, my eyes widened as I looked at the shining and snowflake-like thing in the man's hand. Actually, it didn't exactly resemble snowflakes; they were more like tiny and beautiful particles. When I reached out my hand to the man's palm, the particles disappeared.
Once again, I heard my mother's joyful screams, but this time, she was smiling more than before.
The man who had done various things to me stood up and said something to the other man. Then, without turning his back, he bowed and left the room. My mother picked me up and lifted me in the air with joy, and as she did, I was still trying to understand what had just happened. The man whom I thought was my father kissed my cheek and then kissed my mother before leaving the room.
That's when I figured out what had just happened.
To explain what the man did in order, first, he conducted a hearing test. The reason for this was because, according to his perception, I was very quiet for a newborn baby, hardly speaking or crying at all. Therefore, he had tested whether I had a hearing impairment.
The reason he stuck a needle in my arm was for the first reason, since I hardly cried at all. Once, when I hit my head on something, I didn't cry at all, which made my mother quite worried. He probably checked if I could feel pain or not.
Lastly, the thing in the man's palm seemed to be some kind of magic, in my estimation. I don't exactly know what he did or how he did it, but it's evident he had somehow controlled my ability to perceive these unnatural phenomena, and in the end, my mother's cries of joy must have been because of this.
My mother laid me on the bed, which had some blankets on it, and she immediately lay beside me. I looked at her face, which was very close to mine. Clearly, she was worried because I wasn't behaving like a normal baby, so the idea of mimicking a normal baby came to my mind. I raised my hand and touched my mother's nose, hearing her sweet giggles, and I gave her curious looks like a baby would.
My new mother responded with joy and happily put her arm around me. At that moment, I got a little bolder and squeezed her breasts like a baby would do... I was about to regret what I had done when I saw my new mother looking at me with a gentle smile and she sat up and took me in her arms.
After saying something I didn't understand in her sweet voice, she took out her big, soft breasts and brought them close to my mouth. Of course, since I was a baby and this was my only way to fill my stomach, I drank the sweet milk with an appetite... Yes, I definitely did it because I was hungry.
Even though I died a virgin in my previous life, I wasn't low enough to take advantage of my new mother, okay??
Unfortunately...cough... Fortunately, I fell asleep while drinking my sweet milk and had a good night's sleep, feeling the warmth of my new mother.
When I woke up in the morning, I still felt that comforting warmth and saw my mother right next to me, looking at me with a beautiful smile. With her white hair and blue eyes, she was more beautiful than all the beautiful models and actresses I knew in my previous world.
At first I thought the women in this world were more beautiful than those in the old world, but when I saw some servants, I quickly realized I was wrong. I wished I had inadvertently inherited the genetics of such a beautiful mother. As my mother gently stroked my cheeks, suddenly the doors to the room opened, and I looked to see who was coming and saw a man enter with several guards.
