Sister

Nine months have passed since I've reincarnated.

I looked around; I was back in the hospital.

Why was I here again?

Oh yeah, my mother is giving birth to my sibling.

I'm just here, sitting and eating some bread, waiting for my new sibling to be born. After I finished the bread, I threw the plastic wrapping out.

What is taking them so long? She's been in there for an hour already.

Father was also inside. So I'm just sitting alone.

A few things have changed over these 8 centuries.

One of them includes these magic beasts. I don't know what they are since they didn't exist during my time. But I do know that France was taken over by these monsters and that they came from this large tree.

Well, not like I care anyway.

Another thing has also changed. Looks like I was successfully able to remove reality magic from everybody. No one can use reality magic anymore, except me, of course.

It also looks like the birth rate of magicians has risen. Back then, the ratio for humans born with the ability to wield magic and those that couldn't was 3:7. Now, that ratio has become 9:1. It's now rare for someone not to be born with magic. And a fun fact. My father is one of them.

However, those that aren't born with magic are required to learn martial arts, close combat. Even if they weren't born with magic, they have to learn fighting techniques for self-defense.

Maybe I should learn some martial arts, even though I've already kept my magic potential.

Once a baby has lived for 6 months, their crest starts to appear, like my past self, I have two crests. Before my parents found out, I was successfully able to cloak the crest on my chest. My magic is as flawless as ever.

When a baby is 8 months old, their magic capabilities are measured, and they are rated from F to A, these ranks aren't really special, they just determine the potential of the baby. For me, my rank was an F, and there is a good reason behind that. I suppressed my power level and made it that I looked extremely weak. I heard that an A rank is always getting the most attention and I don't really want that, I just want a quiet, peaceful life.

And now I'm going to get a sibling. Probably annoying.

*"Kenji."*

My father called me from the door.

I have yet to learn the Japanese alphabets, so I still can't understand a word anyone says. The only thing I understand is my name, Kenji, and my family name, which is Katashi.

I looked up at him.

*"Come in"*

He beckoned me to enter, so I followed. I was able to walk flawlessly when I became 9 months old. Most babies walk when they become a year old, I'm kind of a special case.

As I entered, I felt a familiar presence. It's as if I know who the baby is.

I looked at my mother, who was carrying my newborn sibling. I could feel a familiar presence from her. It can't be...

I secretly used a soul analyzation spell. When I peered at the baby's soul, it was as if this was all a dream.

This baby, it carries my sister's soul.

Alice...

Her name means noble and exalted, I want a name that is similar to that.

*"What should we name her?"*

Mother asked Father.

She must be asking Father what her name should be, her name must mean noble and beauty.

I sneezed, but behind that sneeze, I flung the idea of beautiful into my Father's head.

*"How about Kimiko?"*

*"Kimiko?"*

Kimiko, that means noble correct? If it is, then that's good.

*"That's a wonderful name. Kenji."*

I turned my head at my mother.

*"This is your little sister, Kimiko."*

Not that I understand what she said, but she probably greeted my sister to me. All I did was tilt my head and smile.

My sister, born into the world once again. This time, I won't let you die.

I will protect you even if it means my life.

Your name might be different, but you will always be Alice in the inside...
