Stroll Debut
9 months have passed since I was born in an Otherworld’s God’s household.
I was already capable of crawling, and I went from holding onto something and standing up to being able to walk just a bit. I suppose this is probably considerably faster than your average growth.
Since I tirelessly trained and improved myself every day, I became capable of all the abilities that Otou-san taught me.
The fundamentals of Psychokinesis, Levitation, Telepathy, and Healing. And if we’re talking about a small flame, then I can manifest it from my fingertip.
I was stopped on the big one, so I didn’t test it out though.
It’s just that it seems Otou-san is incapable of anything other than Healing, so he’s just conveying to me with words what he heard from Ojii-san, and I just manage to arbitrarily read Otou-san’s mind and get ahead. I can apparently hear what the people nearby are thinking about when I concentrate on them.
Recently, I often hear the mind voice of Okaa-san, who’s always together with me. For the most part, she’s only thinking about my matters. The matters of breastfeeding and baby food alongside the matters of my abilities. Also, occasionally, I suppose it’s probably something back when she was in her homeland, but the image of her doing horseriding surfaces.
I guess, she probably liked horseriding quite a bit. There are often times she’s staring at the continent and the fields from the palace’s window. Those times, she has a distant look in her eyes, and she looks slightly lonely.
Come to think of it, I wonder how old is Okaa-san? I think she’s probably the youngest amongst Otou-san’s wives. Yeah. She’s indeed young now that I think about it. I haven’t even thought about Okaa-san’s age and whatnot since I was born.
Looking at her again……wait, she’s young! Way too young!
There’s no doubt she’s in her 10s. Wait, maybe she’s not even 18 years old?
Otou-san. Isn’t this illegal?
My walking practice progressed as well, and I became capable of walking by myself. I suppose it’s about time that it’s alright to talk to Okaa-san. When we were alone in the room after breastfeeding time was over, I resolved myself and spoke to Okaa-san.
“Okaa-sama”
“Eh? Now, did Tsukuyomi call me?”
“Yes”
“You, are already able to talk?”
“Yes. I am. I was actually able to since some time ago, but I kept quiet since I thought it would just surprise Okaa-sama. Sorry”
“M-, my! You are able to talk that much already huh”
“Eeh. I believe you have not heard about it from Ojii-sama, but I have the memories of before I was born, the memories of my previous life. Which is why I am able to talk”
“The memories of your previous life. Is it? What does that……”
“I had lived, not in this world, but in a different world. I died at 25 years old. I was then reborn in this world for some reason”
“25 years old! I-, isn’t that older than me! I am 16 years old, you know……”
Okaa-san’s expression became very perplexed.
“Aah, as I thought. You are that young huh. How old do people come of age in this world?”
“15 years old”
“Mumu. Then you married in right after coming of age huh”
“Eeh, that is right”
“That would be lonely huh. You want to return to your homeland and do horseriding, right”
“Eh? Ho-, how, did you know that?”
“Because the things Okaa-sama thinks about, occasionally come flowing into my head”
“M-, my! That happens? That is also an ability huh”
“Eeh, so it seems. But Ojii-sama has made a promise to me. That after I turn 5 years old until I come of age, I will live together with Okaa-sama in Okaa-sama’s homeland, Nemophila Kingdom”
“Re-, really?”
Okaa-san’s face broke into a smile. It was a smile that looked happy from the bottom of her heart.
“Eeh, really. I am also looking forward to living in Okaa-sama’s homeland”
“Aah, Tsukuyomi! Thank you! I’m so happy”
She said and hugged me painfully tightly. It makes me a bit happy.
“Okaa-sama. Could it be that you hate Otou-sama?”
“Eh? N-, no. By no means is that the case. I respect Gento-sama”
“Respect. Is it. Though you respect him, you do not love him, right?”
“Lo-, love, is it? What does that……”
“Aah, it was decided that you will be marrying in at an age where you don’t even know of love huh. Or……could it be that, there is no romance in this world. I wonder if something like that is possible?”
“Romance? I-, if it’s that, then I know of it since romance is always the theme in public theatre plays, and I have read them in books as well”
“I thought so. I am slightly, relieved. But Okaa-sama, was sent out as a bride through a political decision during a time when you still don’t even know of romance, right?”
“It is true that my marriage was something decided by Ochichiue1. But since Gento-sama is really kind, and he cherishes me, I do not hate him or whatnot”
“I see; it is fine if you did not go through anything awful. Since it will wrap up without me having to come to hate Otou-sama either”
“My, Tsukuyomi will be my ally huh?”
“Of course. I have no reason to not be an ally of such a beautiful and adorable lady”
“M-, my! You’re saying that I’m adorable?”
“Eeh, very. I remember when you let me hear the story of the moons, you gave it your all to mix in body and hand gestures and told me about it, and it was very adorable”
“You remember what happened at that time?”
“Yes. I also remember you said, ‘to think I was blessed with a boy for my very first child.’, right after I was born”
“M-, my! What in the world!”
Okaa-san is blushing and placing both hands on her cheeks. As I thought, she’s adorable!
“The fact that you were 25 years old in your previous life meant you had some kind of job, right. What did you do?”
“I was a doctor”
“Doctor?”
“Yes. It is a job where you treat people’s illnesses. Ojii-sama said that the chief priest does that in this world”
“You call it a ‘doctor’ in that world huh. That’s why you’re so smart huh! Well then, you can probably heal the various illnesses of people with that knowledge and your ability in this world huh”
“It would be great if that is the case”
“Er-, erm……it is early to die at 25 years old, right? May I ask how you died?”
“Eeh, I had a lover. That lover was afflicted with a severe illness. I became a doctor in order to treat that illness. She had a lengthy battle with the illness, but I was unable to find a treatment method, and I lost her. And then, being completely burnt out, I ended my own life”
“Th-, that is……sorry. You went through a painful experience huh”
“Honestly speaking, I was surprised that I was reborn in this world. It is not like I am ready to start a new life after all”
“Aah, so that is why huh. I had seen you always staring at the moons by the window. That figure looked all too lonely……”
“Eh? D-, did the sorrow show on my face that much?”
“Yes. I thought ‘what a child with a very inexplicable atmosphere for an infant’……”
“My apologies for making you worry”
“I do not know whether or not I can heal the wound in your heart, but I will do anything that I can, so please say it……that’s right! Let’s sleep together from today onwards!”
“Eh? Th-, thank you. Uh. I have a request; I want to try going outside the mansion. Just going out to the garden or somewhere around there will do though”
“Yeah. You can already walk after all. Let’s go on a stroll, shall we”
It’s decided that I’ll go out on a stroll with Okaa-san. Turning numerous times on the long corridor, I understood how vast the mansion was. I was carried by Okaa-san inside the mansion, and after going outside, we held hands and strolled the garden.
All kinds of flowers had bloomed in the garden. What a beautiful scenery. Is this Heaven? Well, it’s the palace where God resides after all, and it’s floating in the sky. In a sense, it wouldn’t be wrong to call it Heaven.
“Okaa-sama, the scenery here is beautiful huh. Compared to Okaa-sama’s homeland, which is more beautiful?”
“My country is also beautiful, you know. This place is also beautiful though”
“Are those twin moons visible even in Okaa-sama’s country?”
“Eeh, it is far away in the north from here, but the moons are visible”
“Aah, as I thought, you were born in a northern country huh”
“How, did you know I was born in a northern country?”
“I can imagine it from seeing Okaa-sama’s beautiful transparent-looking white skin along with how light the colour of your hair is”
“How amazing. Is that a doctor’s knowledge?”
“I guess that would be it”
“But, Tsukuyomi also has the same hair and eye colour as me, you know. Your skin is also white”
“Aah, I take after Okaa-sama, is it. I could not tell my own appearance since there was no mirror in the room. I was wondering whether I took after Otou-sama or you”
“Eeh, I think you take after me. I end up feeling embarrassed when I say it myself, but you are an incredibly beautiful boy”
Okaa-san said and blushed a tiny bit.
At that moment, an ear-shattering scream reverberated.
“Kyaーa!”
I turned around, but I couldn’t tell who screamed. I don’t see anybody by the mansion’s window either.
After a short while, from where we came out from the mansion, a crowd of girls ran out noisily.
Surprised by them closing in all too vigorously, while grabbing Okaa-san’s hand, I floated up, escaping into the sky, and avoided their charge.
“Tsu-, Tsukuyomi! We are floating in the sky! You don’t have to be that surprised; they are your older sisters!”
Okaa-san said while trembling. Ahー, no good. I got startled and my powers ended up activating.
My older sisters were all making astounded faces and looking up at us. The kids who were still young, perhaps couldn’t understand what was going on, were opening their mouths widely. The 7 mothers also followed and came on out from behind them.
I slowly descended while holding onto Okaa-san’s hand and landed.
“My! Armeria! Tsukuyomi-sama can already, exhibit his abilities to that extent huh”
“Mari-nee-sama. Since he became capable of walking by himself, we came out to have a stroll for the first time, but it looked like he was surprised by everybody’s charge and ran away. I did not think that I would float up alongside him though”
“He seems to possess immense power huh”
Okaa-san’s actual older sister, Mari-kaa-sama, seems to be in the facilitator role as the First Madam.
“Now then, daughters. Please greet Tsukuyomi-sama”
After coming out one by one, they pinched their skirt, lightly did a curtsy, and started their greetings.
“I am Mari-kaa-sama’s daughter, Tsukikage, 12 years old. Nice to meet you”
“Same, I am Mari-kaa-sama’s daughter, Yuzuki, 6 years old. Nice to meet you”
“I am Silvia-kaa-sama’s daughter, Mizuki, 11 years old”
“Same, I am Kogetsu, 5 years old”
“I am Julia-kaa-sama’s daughter, Hazuki, 10 years old”
“Same, I am Kagetsu, 5 years old”
“I am Charlotte-kaa-sama’s daughter, Shizuki, 9 years old”
“Same, I am Natsuki, 4 years old”
“I am Olivia-kaa-sama’s daughter, Fuugetsu, 8 years old”
“I am Shungetsu, 3 years old”
“I am Melina-kaa-sama’s daughter, Gekka, 7 years old”
“I wam Yutsuki, 2 years old”
“I am Lucia-kaa-sama’s daughter, Satsuki, 6 years old
“I wam Suigetsu, 2 years old”
Uwah, 14 sisters. Even if you give me your names all at once……furthermore, everybody, seems to take after Otou-san, and all of them have golden hair with green eyes. Their faces are also quite similar. I can’t differentiate them like this, you know!
“Tsukuyomi. Please introduce yourself as well”
Okaa-san tapped the back of me, who was taken aback, and urged me to give my greetings.
“Onee-sama, nice to meet you. I am Armeria-kaa-sama’s son, Tsukuyomi”
Since I didn’t know the official way to give a greeting, I just gave my name and lightly bowed.
For an instant, everybody there froze. And then in the next moment.
“Kyaー, he gave his greetings even though he’s that small!”
“My! How adorable! He’s like a doll!”
“He took after Armeria-kaa-sama huh. What beautiful hair”
“Is he really a boy? He’s like a girl huh”
“His voice is cute!”
It seems everybody, won’t be satisfied until they voice out everything they’re thinking. The state of excitement continued for a while.
“Nevertheless, to think that he can speak that properly and also fully use his abilities 9 months after being born. It was really a surprise. Could you show us any other abilities?”
I ended up being requested by the Second Madam, was it, Silvia-kaa-sama.
“I am able to show it easily if it is Psychokinesis”
Saying that, I floated everybody who was there all at once. After slowly lifting them up and reaching a height of about 1 meter, I carried on to send them around like a carousel and slowly lowered them after that.
I prepared myself for them to, again, scream ‘Kyaー‘ or something, but perhaps it was beyond their imagination, everybody, froze.
“Ho-, how amazing!”
“I got myself a marvellous younger brother huh!”
“Tonight, how about you sleep with me!”
It seems like some weird words were mixed within as well, but everybody was in great joy, and I ended up being squeezed a ton after that.
The curtains drew on today’s stroll debut amidst the bustle.
