Age

Chapter 3 — Age.

I'm now called Yuuki Wakura. And my daily life as a reincarnated baby was mostly hard and simply embarrassing. It was even more humiliating as it was my older sister who took care of my needs like a babysitter.

We rarely see our parents at home after I reached the age of no longer needing my mother's breast milk.

In the end, I decided to view the situation in a very optimistic light. After all, I no longer needed to suck on my mother's nipple for supplements.

Our life was rough since it was just the two of us always at home. We were almost inseparable.

Most of the time, it was my sister who took care of me as a baby. She would be the one to change my diapers, clean my body, and feed me with powdered milk, as well as read me some bedtime stories, and play with me when I'm bored.

Taking care of me by herself proved to be difficult even for a mature little girl like her. Yet, she didn't seem to mind and always smiled.

Fortunately, I don't poop or wet myself that much because of my [Innate Pure Body]. I also don't get sick since I have a very healthy body.

The only reason I even needed to poop and pee was in order to release the impurities from the food I ate.

I felt crying while seeing my sister working so hard to take care of me. And I curse my parents for leaving us alone so irresponsibly.

They were so stingy!

At least hire a babysitter!

I cursed at them repeatedly, but it just made me exhausted. Jesus, I missed my good parents from my previous life.

In order to not exhaust and give Aoba too much, I acted very obediently, only letting out some cries when I'm hungry or to change diapers. As a result, It caused my sister to be amazed.

However, she still didn't think too much about my behaviour, which is clearly not normal.

For some reason, Aoba just praised me for being a clever genius.

As a result, I acted more daring only around her.

I plan to first speak my first word at the age of nine months.

My sister was playing with me when I decided to utter my first words.

"Shiss!" (Sis in baby language.)

Aoba froze in surprise before beaming happily.

"Haha! Yuuki spoke!"

My sister became extremely happy to the point of hugging me very tightly.

I was quite surprised by her reaction, but I felt happy. Secretly, I managed to [Record] her cute grinning face.

And from now on, I decided to always cheer up Aoba whenever she felt gloomy and sorrowful.

At the same time, I've never stopped using the Mysterious Breathing Method to keep my body in a pure state and good health. I always use it when I have nothing to do.

But compared to when I was inside my mother's womb, I felt my growth was slower outside. Still, the lifeforce from the environment continued to slowly nourished my body that contained unmeasurable latent potential.

It slept like a slumbering dragon.

…

Record: Age One |

Aoba celebrated my first birthday, making me officially one year old. Only the two of us since our parents were on a business trip.

"Yuuki, well done! To think you're already able to crawl…!" exclaimed Aoba who was clapping her hands while watching me crawl on the floor.

I wore a smug smile and continued to show her my crawling skills.

It felt good to move so freely!

How many years has it been!?

I felt ecstatic to move my limbs and joints around!

At this moment, I'm now able to crawl and move easily with my body that is larger than other kids of my age. It is also well-developed. This is thanks to my body's fast growth and the nourishment received from the life force.

I'm also able to speak more words, but I decided to not look like a monster to my sister.

My love for my sister, Aoba, is simply indescribable.

I was 13 years old in my previous life, but since I was hospitalized my whole life, I'm also like an innocent and childish kid at the same time, despite the internet having corrupted me already.

However, the innocence of my sister is slowly purifying my soul.

…

Record: Age Two |

Aoba and I celebrated her birthday, but it was just the two of us again.

I felt somehow lonely now that my sister resumed going to her school.

Under the constant nourishment of life force, I'm finally able to walk steadily. My body grew bigger while my sixth sense has grown more stronger.

I was keeping my ability to walk a secret from my sister, but I decided it's now the time to reveal it.

Aoba soon returned from school, so I walked quickly to welcome her.

Of course, Aoba widened her eyes in surprise.

"Amazing, Yuuki! Your sister will reward you for being such a genius!" said Aoba while hugging me tightly.

As a result, I received a soft pat on the head and a chocolate Ice cream as a reward.

Aoba looked satisfied and proud… I also felt the same as her.

After receiving such a good reward from her, I decided to show my love and gratitude actively.

"Sis, I love you!"

I gave her a warm embrace.

"I love you too, Yuuki…"

Aoba smiled before hugging me back fiercely.

It kinda hurts, but also warm and good.

To receive more of her rewards, I decided to show just how capable I am.

…

Record: Age Two and a Half |

Aoba and I decided to celebrate our birthday at the same time. As such, I celebrate late and she celebrates early.

To show how capable I am, I showed my new proficient level running skills to my sister on the streets. It might not seem much, but It was impressive considering how the heavy weight of my body due to my cells being denser than normal.

I glanced at my sister's face, and saw her nodding her head.

"How's it, Aoba-neechan?"

After hearing my question, Aoba gave me a thumbs up.

"Good job!"

"Hehe~!"

I felt flattered since I felt my hard work being praised. After all, I worked hard on practicing my running skills.

"But don't get too overly confident! You're still a long way from being an Olympic Level!" said Aoba with a stern face.

"Roger!" I saluted out of reflex.

Eh?

Why an Olympic Level?

Meanwhile, my sister laughed while looking at me.

Hmm, I looked adorable while saluting with a serious expression.

…

Record: Age Three |

My sister and I celebrated our birthday together again. We baked our own birthday cake. It tasted very good.

Aoba invited me to play on the playground located at the park. I obediently accepted to go there. In fact, I have no right to even refuse.

The two of us went to the playground. I felt quite nervous and excited since it was my first time going there.

Upon our arrival, my sister introduced me to her friends from school. All the girls instantly grew fond of me. They said I was very cute and wished I was their own brother.

No one knew that I'm three years old because I physically looked about five years old.

I also don't know why, but the girls made my sister's eyes grow frosty.

But seeing the girls flocking at me, the guys became jealous.

They started to loudly ridicule me by saying that they didn't want to play with a weak and small guy. They kept belittling and mocking me to satisfy their jealousy, but I didn't mind it. I received much more painful words than those in my previous life.

Yes, I'm indeed smaller than them. But me being weak? Nah, dude. I'll completely thrash you around.

However, my sister, Aoba, was different from the calm me.

"How dare you mock my brother!"

Aoba started to beat them up, leaving them terrified on the ground. With one more push, they might wet themselves.

Some girls were afraid of Aoba, but the others worshipped her strength.

I realized that like me, my sister was stronger than typical kids.

She was like a humanoid gorilla.

I wanted to laugh, but soon felt my blood running cold as I saw my sister letting out a bloody smile at me with her eyes burning like fire.

My sixth sense captured her cold and hot killing intent.

I suck a deep cold breath.

Bloody hell!

How did she know what I was thinking?

This is also the first time I learned that my sixth sense could detect killing intent.

…

Record: Age Four |

As usual, my sister and I celebrated happily together.

I pondered.

And pondered deeply.

My mind soon gained enlightenment.

Oh.My.Gosh!

I realized that my sister is brainwashing me by using her love for me. I'm being spoiled too much by her!

This won't do!

She keeps brainwashing me using her rewards as baits!

Her spoiling me too much is making me retarded and dependant!

I'm mentally older than her!

Okay, let's harden my heart first before charging!

"Aoba-neechan, please stop spoiling me too much! If you don't, I'll stop talking to you," said I, as childish as possible.

I don't want to become a wastrel!

"Hmm, what are you talking about? I'm not spoiling you, but preparing you for the future since you're still young!' said Aoba while patting my head.

Bullshit!

I don't want to hear that from the person who took care of me at such a very young age!

Oh wait, she was indeed older than the current me at that time.

"...."

I wanted to retort, but she soon bought my favourite chocolate ice cream. She used it to coax me, leaving me no other choice but to surrender.

Aoba started to feed me to further add salt to my wound.

I then looked at her complicatedly.

Wasn't this spoiling me…?

…

Record: Age Four and a Half |

I'm now a very tall and cute kid that has promising prospects of becoming very handsome in the future.

Whenever I stare at myself in the mirror, I can't help but admire my own looks. I have a messy frame of black silky hair that seemed to shine. My black eyes are as deep as the endless galaxy. I also have smooth skin that is even better than rich women who spend all their money on skincare. My facial proportions are also perfect, making it adorable and attractive to look at.

I'm sure of growing to become a handsome lad!

At least that's what my sister told me while combing my hair after our bath. She liked to comb my hair since she loved how silky it was.

My sister is very envious of my smooth skin and silky black hair.

Our entire neighborhood called me the cutest kid in the city. At the same time, I started kindergarten since being home alone sucks when my sister goes to school.

And I'm the strongest kid at kindergarten, so no one dared to mess with me. I claim total domination. Even worse, no bully dared to bully someone.

As a result, all kids lived and studied in peace.

Everyone called me a big boss.

But I didn't care as it was simply too childish.

I just didn't want anyone to suffer trauma from being bullied.

After school, I came home everyday with stars and perfect scores. I also showed Aoba that I can already read and write, causing my sister to kiss me several times on my cheeks.

In fact, I already knew how to read and write, but that didn't matter.

All I need is my reward.

Also, I noticed my sister has recently grown beautiful.

She was older than me. About the same age as mine when I died in my previous life.

I wanna marry her someday…

…

Record: Age Five and a Half |

We celebrated our birthday! This time with our friends from school! I'm glad to see Aoba looking happy and not lonely anymore.

I started elementary school. And just like in kindergarten, I was the boss of my current grade in elementary school. No students got bullied, making everyone happy.

Both teachers and students alike admire me.

My good deeds even reached my sister who reminded me to always use my power for good.

After that, she hugged and kissed me for my good deeds.

As usual, I always come home with perfect exams. My sister rewards me by using her own allowance. She

Sometimes, I felt guilty for abusing her rewards.

But I really wanted to make her proud to receive more rewards. I started to use my own [Record] to compile all kinds of knowledge to help me study in advance in order to be better than anyone.

My sixth sense and body continues to evolve.

…

Record: Age Six |

As usual, we celebrated our birthday with our classmates. It was like a small party.

I reached grade two with perfect excellent grades. I also became the overlord of two grades.

Some guys at higher grades came to make fun of me, but I beat them down after a harsh fight. It was one versus three.

And I was not exactly used to fighting even with my strong body. I only wanted to be healthy, after all.

As a result, I came home with bruises that are already healing away. I recently learned that I actually have a strong healing factor.

Aoba quickly grew worried seeing me having bruises. I was glad to see her not lecturing me.

The next day, I heard that Aoba viciously taught those guys a harsh lesson.

And the next few days, my sister was teaching me to become a capable man by doing house chores or training my hand skills.

Aoba said it was now time to stop spoiling me.

Those words make me feel very excited.

But why house chores?

I don't know, but I just did my best to master what she taught me.

…

Record: Age Seven |

We celebrated our birthday as usual. But I arranged the entire party. I even cooked the food. Everyone luckily liked what I made for them.

It gave me a huge confidence boost.

I also learned an incredible truth after reading some books at the public library to know more about this world.

This modern world was different from my previous world.

This world was where females ruled the world.

It was because of the sudden appearance of another dimension called Mato. To be more precise, it was the peach found inside the dimension that only females could eat, capable of granting them supernatural abilities.

I realized this was a different world. But a world not suitable for me, so I decided not to care about Mato anymore. I'll leave it to those strong women. It got nothing to do with a man like me.

But supernatural abilities…

Will my two abilities work on them…?

….

Record: Age Seven and a Half |

I surfed the internet using the computer in the library to [Record] every useful knowledge about chores. I wanna do an excellent job for my sister.

Soon, I've managed to compile lots of convenient knowledge, techniques, and tips about house chores. Most of them came from butlers and maids from all over the world.

Those were easy for me to understand since I know how to write and read in many different languages.

With [Record], I studied how to become the perfect butler that is experienced in doing chores. I then applied what I've learned to real life to gain experiences. Once I've mastered a skill I'll hone it to surpass the peak.

While studying, I realized that I basically need to become good at everything.

I became determined to reach the peak of every miscellaneous job like cooking, massaging, sewing, cleaning, driving, self-defence, brewing tea, musician, artist, etc.

I'll even become the Ultimate Butler if my sister wishes so.

Unbeknownst to Aoba, I was already going beyond what she intended for me as simple chores.

I was slowly improving with my chores and cleaning skills to make my sister's life easier and much more comfortable. This made her happy and rewarded me with a kiss on my forehead. At the same time, when my progress halted, she would guide me to think outside the box. To use everything within my grasp to fulfill my objectives.

My sister was the perfect woman.

However, why is she growing violent with me? Is this puberty?

…

Record: Age Eight |

As usual, my sister and I celebrated our birthday. Due to my improved arsenal of skills, the party became more grand and fun.

Everyone was addicted to my cooking. Not only cooking, I can also bake snacks and create desserts.

I'm now also responsible for every chores in our house. I do the laundry, cooking, sewing, cleaning, and repairing. I was busy, but it felt fun for me.

I was the jack of all trades!

My sister has also joined a fighting club in her school. She had grown violent to me since then.

She loves to constantly express her love by grappling me like those Judo and Wrestling experts. But because of my naturally strong body, it didn't hurt that much. I just pretended that it hurts since I didn't want to upset her.

Also, I'm being worked to the bone by my sister.

She requests that I massage her body every time she gets home. Her body was very stiff.

I didn't mind at first, but she let out some weird noises when I messaged her. She also squirms around weirdly.

It seems like my massage was very effective. After all, I used some lifeforce and oil to loosen her acupoints and muscles, massaging her thoroughly with my firm hands.

…

Record: Age Nine |

I felt that my sister was about to see through my acting.

So, I made her forget about it by throwing our regular birthday party. My skills improved again, so the party was much better than the rich people's party.

We use the money given by our parents to throw our party.

And after that, I strictly started to teach Aoba more about grappling techniques from Jujutsu and other martial arts. Not only grappling, but also movement and footwork techniques. There were also fist and leg techniques. I added them because I wanted my sister to defend herself when someone molest her.

Those martial arts were recorded within my [Record], as a reference for my pursuit of being a capable butler.

…

Record: Age Ten |

Another birthday celebration! Damn, I'm tired of repeating this…

Anyways, I'm still taking a bath with my sister who is now very beautiful and well-endowed. I want to take my own bath, but she always wants to take a bath with me!

She was using her own body to test my patience and calmness.

I can only meditate to seek inner peace!

And later on, a surprising event surprised me.

I'm very surprised to see my sister creating her own martial art from the combination of various martial arts. It was lethal and formidable. Even more so with the new grappling techniques derived from it. It caused my back to hurt now.

My sister finally smiled in satisfaction after that.

She called her own self-created martial art as [ Pain Inflicting Martial Art. ]

Feeling happy, my sister hugged me tightly before grappling me on the ground.

All I could was moan in pain from the crushing pressure of my spine and the soft pressure on my face.

…

Record: Age Eleven |

My sister and I didn't hold a birthday party this time. Instead, we celebrated with only the two of us.

I cried since I missed celebrating with just the two of us. I didn't mention it since it felt selfish.

I was still the hidden boss of my elementary school. The anti-bully of all bullies that existed in my school.

I've won many contests and got myself some trophies and awards to make my sister proud of me as usual. The contests I attended were mostly academic and sports contests. There were also some literature and modeling contests that I attended. All of these happened during the past years.

The different types of sport competitions were easy. I had hyperconductive nerves which makes my body react faster to my brain's commands as it travels faster than normal humans. My perfect human body was greater than the kids, so I competed despite my body being not trained or even developed to the peak.

I'm perfect at academics and sports due to my natural advantages. My cute looks also allowed me to win some modeling awards.

As a result, Aoba seemed exhausted from giving me rewards. However, I only wished her to give me either a lovely pat, hug, or kiss.

Although exhausted, she smiled because she was inwardly proud of my achievements.

We were at the table, eating while watching the television.

As I was eating, my sister was staring at me intently with narrowed eyes.

"What…?"

"Hmm, nothing at all. I also noticed that your cooking seemed to have improved again."

I smiled, glad she noticed about it. I experimented a lot.

But she still didn't stop staring at me.

My cheeks reddened.

"What is it!?" I glared at her this time.

Aoba crossed her arms.

"I noticed that you're breathing differently than normal.*

I widened my eyes, clearly surprised at her discerning eyes.

"I've been breathing naturally like this since I was born. What's strange?" I shrugged.

Lies.

I've been using the Mysterious Breathing Method for years now. It somehow turned into a natural habit for me, now replacing my old breathing habit. The Mysterious Breathing Method is now like a passive stage that is always active. It feels nice since it brings warm vigor to my body and mind with every breath.

"I don't think so… Let me copy how you're breathing."

"Sure, sure.." I was sure that she wouldn't be able to accomplish it.

My sister tried copying how I breathe. She had accompanied me since my birth, so she was very familiar with it.

"Is it like this?" Aoba closed her eyes, her stomach sinking in and out deeply. The rhythm of her breathings changed. A spiritual aura escaped from her.

I stared at her speechlessly, but I soon calmed down. Unfortunately, my sister didn't start from the womb like me. As of now, she was only able to absorb a pitiful amount of lifeforce. Better than nothing, I guess.

'She's subconsciously using her sixth sense to attract the lifeforce… As expected of my sister…'

I was amazed by her monsterous talent.

"Continue breathing like that. You'll eventually become more pretty," I bullshitted.

Aoba smiled and nodded at me.

…

Record: Age 12 |

My sister, Aoba, was confirmed dead after the sudden appearance of a Gate. Her accident was known as Mato Disaster.

I felt like my whole world crashed, but I knew my strong sister wouldn't die that easily.

As such, I celebrated my own birthday.

Alone.

And the next coming years too.

Yet, my eyes never lost hope.
