2 Chapter 2: Church

'Where am I?' Titus thought as he looked around him.

Titus felt that he is in some kind of bed. He couldn't move around much as he is still a baby.

'Ah, that's right... I got reincarnated as a baby by that old man.'

Even though he already decided to forget everything about his past life he still had some bitter feelings about it.

Titus opened his eyes with difficulty as he heard a wail on his left side.

As he turned to look at his surrounding he saw two babies on both his sides.

As he looked around he saw two baskets beside his basket and it looks like both baskets were carrying babies as well.

He looked at his right where the first basket is and saw a baby with black colored hair and was rather calm.

Titus then looked at his left where he heard that wail and saw a baby in a basket crying. the baby has ash colored hair and looked like he has a lot of spunk.

Titus wanted to shut the baby with ash-colored hair because he might make the other one cry and you know the rest.

Titus thought turned to reality as the baby with black hair woke up because of the noise and started to cry.

For Titus, this was one of his most helpless moments as he couldn't shut them up because he can't even move properly as he is still a baby. Truly hell on earth.

'Ahhh!!! Shut up!!!' Titus roared on his mind but no matter how hard he tried to speak only gibberish words are the only words if you can even call it words were the only things that came out of his mouth as his vocal cords were still not properly developed.

After a while, the two babies' wail was probably heard as he heard a door opened and heard footsteps coming to their location.

As the sound got nearer and nearer Titus saw a man with black and white hair coming towards them. The white hair was probably caused by old age.

When the man saw that there were three babies in the front of his door he sighed and muttered. "*sigh* Here we go again." after that, he pocked the three up and went inside his house which Titus thought looked more like church or an orphanage than a house.

After they entered the house/church/orphanage. Titus saw rows of long sits facing towards an altar(?).

After walking for a minute they reached a room in which there was a bed where the man put them down.

After putting the three down. The man lit a wood using fire magic and went towards the three babies and said with relief.

"Those two finally calmed down."

He then kneeled and looked at the three of them and muttered.

"Are the three bothers... or perhaps triplets?"

He then looked at the three of them carefully and said. "No, they're not."

He looked at the baby with black hair and Titus and said. "These two are rather calm, but this one..." he then looked at the boy with ash-colored hair and wryly said. "seems like he has a lot of spunk."

He then continued while looking as if he was in deep thought. "First of all, these three don't look a thing alike."

After saying so he then moved the cloth covering Titus' body and saw a name written on Titus' shirt. " Hmmm? 'Titus'? So that's your name." He then moved the cloth that was covering the baby with black hair and said. "'Yuno'...? hmmm." after looking at the name of the baby he then moved to the other one with a smile. "Let's see, And the spunky one over here is-" he was suddenly kicked in the face by the baby with ash colored hair.

"Hey! you are too spunky!" he then stand up and grit his teeth and glared at the baby with tears in his eyes but after a few seconds his expression became warm as he warmly smiled and looked at the name on the shirt of the baby with ash-colored hair and muttered. "'Asta', eh?"

After a few seconds, the man then put both of his hands on his waist and energetically said. "Yosh! You three don't need to worry about a thing anymore. Starting today, this is your new home... Titus, Asta, Yuno!

And this marked the beginning of the eternal adventure of Titus.
