Chapter 6 – I can make that declaration (part 2)
Editors: Puissansa & Momielxai

I hid my jealousy and maintained my smile.
「Mimosa really is a good girl.」
I spoke in the gentlest tone I could manage.
「…Un.」
Mimosa-chan nodded vigorously and hugged me.
….Even though she looks to be about 8, her height was roughly the same as mine.
It's somewhat shocking.
「Ah- erm?」
「What is it?」
「Mimosa Bathory, 8 years old. Can you tell me your name?」
She introduced herself all of a sudden.
It was rather cute.
At this moment, I felt that my smile was no longer forced.
It couldn't be helped, right?
She really was cute.
「I'm Ria. 11 years old.」
「…older?」
「Yeah.」
「Then, you're Nee-sama!」
Nee-sama!?
I wonder why this gave me a yuri yuri feel…
This is what I yearned for in my previous life as a male – which I had given up on after becoming a girl – but right now the feelings were welling up in my heart…
Though when faced with the excessively sparkling pure eyes of Mimosa-chan, my wicked thoughts were blown away.
「Ano- Nee-sama?」
「Yeah?」
While I was still in the midst of confusion, Mimosa-chan caressed my stomach.
Ah- this is bad. She will think I'm fat.
To put it bluntly, it's a woman's shame.
Wait, isn't this the self-awareness of a woman? I started panicking a little.
「Is there a baby inside?」
Mimosa-chan's face was dyed with surprise.
Her servants too, raised voices of shock.
Appearance-wise, Mimosa looked to be around the same age as me.
This is inevitable too, right?
Her hand that was caressing my stomach without reservations withdrew with a start.
But, I rea.s.sured her.
「It's fine, try touching it gently?」
I held her hand and slowly placed it on my stomach.
My baby – who could read the atmosphere – kicked near Mimosa-chan's hand.
「Fuwawawawawa!? It went pokon! It went pokon, Nee-sama!!」
「Un, it's a greeting.」
「h.e.l.lo! I'm Mimosa!」
Uhha-☆
What is this soothing atmosphere?
The servants around seemed to feel the same way.
This is moe, isn't it?
She went kya-kya as she put her ear to my stomach.
If we become close, I'm going to make her cry again…
I felt a little depressed.
I'll be leaving this town tomorrow after all.
Leaving her behind, as her brother did…
I once thought that way.
I drew water from the well closest to my house, on the west side of town.
I lifted up the bucket full of water with both hands, 「yoisho」.
Back when I was a guy, I could probably hold a bucket in each hand, but now it's laborious for me to walk even with just one bucket.
If this had been Makugaia's port city of Soyuze, right now, I would have already received many helping hands. But in Aphaze, despite feeling many concerned gazes, it's rare for anyone to step out to help.
It's probably a difference in the citizen's dispositions.
Nevertheless…
As someone with the memories of a modern-day j.a.panese, this feels more comfortable.
When I'm truly in need of it, I do receive help.
It takes me 5 minutes to get to the well, but 15 minutes to get back. Entering through the backdoor, I poured the water into the water jug beside the kitchen.
「Hafuu…」
I panted, and sat down on a round stool in the kitchen to take a short break.
There's still so many things I need to do. But as a pregnant mother, I couldn’t even manage simple tasks.
It's kind of frustrating.
Still…
「I really want to eat something sweet…」
Girls in general likes sweet stuff.
As someone who used to be male, I didn’t really like sweet stuff that much.
But recently, I kept craving for sweet things.
Could this be the craving that pregnant mothers have, similar to the craving for sour food?
I stroked my 『8 months pregnant』 belly while pondering.
….Now then, I can't keep slacking off.
I still didn't have enough water for the day, and the traps I was granted permission to set in the sea, river and forest also needs to be checked….
「I need to focus.」
I reinvigorated myself and stood up energetically.
「Pardon my intrusion. Nee-sama, I brought a souvenir~」
Mimosa-chan's voice came from the entrance.
Totatota, she hurried over.
「Sorry for the intrusion.」
Her attendant said as she entered behind Mimosa-chan.
「Welcome, Mimosa. You sure are lively today as well.」
I greeted her with a smile.
In the end, I did not go to Mir. I stayed behind in this town of Aphaze, instead.
The reason being that I could buy a plot of land with a detached house cheaply with the a.s.sistance of the Bathory family, which was the head of Elder a.s.sociation.
While I'm at it, I should mention that with their help, I could use the valuables I had on me directly as payment as well.
Of course, I did consider other things, such as what I was going to do from now on.
After giving birth, I will focus on taking care of my child for 3 years, and live on my current funds, before going out to look for work.
Since I bought a plot of land with the house, I still have at least this much a.s.sets secured. Even if I won't be hired with my 11 year old appearance, when I’m around 14-15 , I would have grown up, so it will be easier to get a job.
This is all thanks to the Bathory family….or should I say, thanks to Mimosa-chan's attendants, making things so easy for me.
a.s.sets-wise, I've easily doubled it now.
That is why I stayed in this town.
Furthermore, I was introduced to embroidering for sale at home and it has gained me a small amount of income.
More importantly…
「Nee-sama!」
Mimosa-chan is here.
She's the first friend I made since I reincarnated.
Unlike the lip service from my time as a n.o.ble, this is a real…
…. – although she feels like an imouto – friend.
That's why.
Since I made a friend.
It can't be helped that I changed my initial plans, right?
I spent about 5 years in this town.
Giving birth and raising.
The most crucial and tough period was spent here.
In retrospect, I had my share of bitter experiences in this town, but…
「Sorry, I'm not yet done with today's ch.o.r.es.」
「It's okay! Mimosa will help a lot, so let's finish it quickly and go play!」
I don't hate a single aspect of it.
I can make that declaration.
