Chapter 200 (1): Daughter

(Perspective ?)

My destiny and curse are death and the eternal repetition of a meaningless life...

I lived 53 lives in which I was a great swordmaster, I delved into music, art, blacksmithing, medicine, I was a millionaire and I was a slave, I ruled a country, I was called a saint and I was burned as a witch...

I'm tired of all this…

I don't want to lift a single finger...

My goal in this life number 54 is to rest...

"Congratulation is a girl!"

I heard a female voice, I feel weak and I have no control of my body.

In some lives, I was reborn as a girl between 10 and 18 years old, but sometimes I was reborn at the time of birth so in this life I am a baby again.

At least my life should be calm for a few years before my bad luck pushes me into a life full of problems...

My vision was blurry until finally, my eyes adjusted to the light. I felt a warm sensation cover me making the uncomfortable sticky feeling on my skin disappear.

Magic?

In my past lives, magic was for aristocrats, and being part of the nobility always leads to problems due to power struggles... I'm tired...

I looked at the person who was carrying me and noticed that she was a woman in a white nurse's uniform, though this design is something I haven't seen before.

The nurse wrapped me in a blanket and handed me to a young woman with white hair, she appears to be my mother, although she worries me that she looks very young, maybe 16 years old.

I hope my father is not a perverted aristocrat who married a young woman, that always leads to trouble...

"She does not cry, but she can breathe without difficulty, as expected of the master's daughter" - The nurse looked at me kindly.

It seems that my father is a man with authority and prestige.

I don't want to get involved in politics...

My mother smiled at me and she began to caress my cheeks. – "My girl is so beautiful… What do you think dear?"

Only now did I notice that next to my mother was a boy with brown blonde hair and blue eyes. This boy was just as young as my mother and did not seem like someone suitable for a position of authority...

The boy smiled fondly at my mother. – "Our daughter is beautiful"

So he is my father… I am worried that he is so young, too young a ruler always leads to political problems even if the ruler is just and capable.

"To think that the 23 daughters of onii-chan are women... What was expected of a womanizer" - A small girl with pink hair was next to my father.

The boy sighed and pinched the girl's cheek. – "Arisa, don't say those things in front of the girls, I don't want them to be corrupted by your nonsense"

The girl named Arisa pouted sadly, but it was obvious that she was not being hurt.

At least it seems that my father in this life is not a temperamental and violent man who assaults the women around him, that's good...

My father carried me in his arms and smiled at my mother. – "Get some rest, I will check that everything is fine with our daughter"

My mother smiled and nodded, then closed her eyes to rest, it seems that she completely trusts my father.

My father left the room and walked down a long hallway carrying me in his arms. Looking at the decorations I can see that my family has a lot of money which worries me...

"Your mother's name is Chika Kisaragi" – My father started talking to me, although he does it as if he were talking to an adult and not a newborn girl. – "My name is Luis and well, I am your father… God, it is uncomfortable to say it out loud…"

My father stopped displaying a kind and caring attitude from just now and seemed like a person tired of the troubles around him… I can empathize with him.

"Anyway, now your name is Rubia, it's the name your mother chose, or well, destiny... It's a complex issue" - My father sighed again, it seems like his habit.

We came to a flower-filled garden outside the mansion.

In one of my lives, I was a florist, it was one of the lives that I enjoyed the most since I lived in peace for a few years until the war began where I was killed...

My father sighed and scooped me up with one arm while his other hand massaged his forehead. – "For now let's not think about the past, let's focus on the present"

What is my father talking about?

My father sighed. – "The thing is that you are my youngest daughter of 23 daughters… You were all born on the same day because well, Plot… Anyway, even though you were all born on the same day, I am giving you more attention because… Em… Ah, I don't know how to tackle this…"

My father is a strange man, I hope he is not a madman who talks to himself...

"Hey Listen! She already knows you're crazy!"

A blue sphere appeared next to my father... For some reason, I feel like that thing is annoying.

My father grabbed the blue sphere and threw it far away, he also seems to see it as a nuisance...

"Fine, whatever" – My father sighed. – "You must have experienced many things in 53 lives so I will be direct…"

…

He knows… He knows who I am… He knows what I am…

"I don't care what you did in your past lives, I don't care if you have any enemies from past lives or some drama like that" - My father smiled at me with a slight bitterness. – "You are my daughter, and even if you are a reincarnated, nothing will change that you are my daughter"

…..

I…..

I don't know what to say, I don't know what to think, I don't know what to do...

When my head started to hurt, my father patted my head and I felt calmer, although the restlessness in my heart did not diminish.

"Onii-chan, you shouldn't be so direct with a baby" – The girl named Arisa stopped being silent.

My father shrugged. – "She has an adult mentality so it is better to speak civilly, don't you think so daughter?"

I didn't know how to answer my father's question... In 53 lives, this is the second time someone finds out that I'm a reincarnated and I'm scared...

The first time I told someone the truth, that person called me a witch and after a couple of days of torture, I was publicly executed at the stake...

"I don't care if you are a witch, a villain or if you have the mentality of a tyrant" - My father sighed. – "You are my daughter and only that matters"

…

It's awkward that my father can read my mind, but it's not the first time I've been exposed to mind-reading magic so this is convenient to express my greatest wish...

Father… I want to be a person without responsibilities who just rests all day…

"Hey Listen! Your daughter is an otaku hahahahahaha!" – The blue sphere reappeared.

What is otaku? A useless person?

Doesn't sound bad...

I just want a break...

"Me too daughter..." - My father sighed. - "Me too…"

I think I'll be able to get along with my father in this life...
