Reincarnated: The First of my Kind

Chapter 4: Walk the Walk, Talk the Talk

Chapter 4 | Walk the Walk, Talk the Talk

It's been two years since I first bore witness to this world, and to put it quiet simply, now I'm living here. Most of my time has been spent confined to a cot in my room or in the arms of my parents or the maids, I'm not complaining or anything, it's just... there isn't really all that much to do and it's pretty boring.

But recently I've re-learned how to stand up and walk on my own and have been exercising regularly early in the mornings. I usually keep it up until my body is completely exhausted, which is after around 5 minutes or so.

I've also learnt how to speak earlier than most kids usually would and can speak complete sentences with relative ease, although I do tend to stutter from time to time, but that's not such a big deal.

"Today's the day!" I declared to myself. "I'm going to show Mother and Father that I can walk and talk!" I stood up in my cot and began my work out, this time I made sure it was just before the maids came in to wake me up.

"Mama and Papa are going to be so proud!"

W-Wait, Mama and Papa? When did I become this childlike? B-But I guess I can let it slide... I am physically a child anyways so I guess it's alright...

"Lady Tomoe~ It's time to wake... up?"

I stopped doing my walking exercises and looked towards the open door, the long eared maid, who I found out to be an Elf, was standing at the entrance. The perplexed look on her face quickly led to her becoming flustered and panicking.

"I-I-I saw nothing! I didn't witness Lady Tomoe's first steps before Master! I-I have to let Master know about this!"

With that, the maid Sylvia bolted out of my room to go and look for my father and mother. When she left it was time for me to start doing my workout again, this time I'd be focusing on my arms by doing push ups and such. I started sweating after the first five pushups and fell down on my stomach completely exhausted after seven.

"WHERE IS SHE?! IS MY LITTLE TOMOE REALLY DOING SOMETHING AMAZING?!"

I could hear mama's voice as she thundered up the stairs and down the hall to my room, each of her footsteps were followed by a loud thud.

"W-Wait a second Milady!"

But it was to late, mama had already entered my room. I was standing up and hanging onto the side of the cot, just looking confusedly at mama who was staring at me from the doorway.

"N-No way.. she is actually doing it... she's really standing on her own... As expected of my daughter, she has grown up so quickly just like her mother! C'mere darling!" Mama swept me out of the cot and into her arms and began dancing around the room, all nine of her tails swishing around as we spun.

"Hm~♪ Ha Hmm~♪ Tomoe is so smart~♪"

Mama started humming a freshly thought out song about me out loud, but that's not all I can do mama. I can do this as well.

"M-M-M..."

I had to make it sound more realistic, instead of just speaking a straight sentence to mama's face. If I did that she'd probably go into cardiac arrest.

"Y-Yes Darling?! H-HONEY! GET IN HERE, TOMOE'S ABOUT TO SAY HER FIRST WORD!"

"WHATTTT?!!"

The sound of another person storming their way up the steps and into my room were heard all through out the house, dad burst into my room panting and wasted no time making his way to mama's side.
