Chapter 5: A Gift From Papa

Chapter 5 | A Gift From Papa |

"Mama, is this good?"

It's been another year and I'm adjusting to life here just fine, I've even been acting like a kid for the sake of not blowing my cover, not because I'm naturally acting like a kid or anything... I've also been studying this words language as well, all of the pronunciation is the same as on Earth but the characters are all different. It's not the main language according to mama, but it is the one that is used in this country.

"Oh? T-Tomoe, this is amazing! How are you so good at this at such a young age?"

Mama leaned forward and pat me on my head, what I had just shown her was a magic circle I had been working on for the entirety of the afternoon. She had only just shown me a basic magic circle and how to make them in the morning and I had already moved on to making an intermediate one.

"Are you proud of me Mama?"

"Of course I am darling! How could I not be? You've just completed something that most kids can't even complete by their teens."

Mama seemed extremely overjoyed to the point where she lifted me up and gave me a big hug.

"I'm so proud of you my darling~, if you keep this up you'll surely be able to live a great life~"

Mama snuggled me some more, it wasn't uncomfortable for me and filled my heart with joy. In my previous life it was just me and Akira who were there for each other, until dad finally took over the city and we met Erin. Even so, we had our moments of happiness and love, like that one time when we were eating on the roof, we-

"Tomoe~ Come to papa for a second, he's got something he wants to give you~"

Papa wants to give me something? Maybe it's a katana?! I haven't used one in ages, I want to start getting used to wielding one again.

"What is it papa?"

Mama gently set me down on the ground and I strolled over to papa, he had a big smile on his face with his hands behind his back, probably hiding something.

"Now Tomoe, what I'm about to give you is something that I've kept as a treasure for my entire life."

Papa is giving me something that he has treasured for his whole life? Why would he give me something like that?

"What is it Papa?"

He moved his hands out in front of him and presented the gift to me. It was, what looked to be, a highly valuable necklace. Don't get me wrong, it looked really pretty and all with its diamond embedded chain and large ruby jewel. It's just I'm not much of a necklace person... they get in my way when I'm fighting and just overall trouble me, they go all over the place when you're working out and just won't stay put. But I do have to accept this gift with gratitude, it's fathers treasure after all...

"Th-Thanks Papa..."

The second he placed the necklace in my hands gravity took over, I felt as if I was carry a bag of cement. What's with this necklace?! Why is it so damn heavy!?! What's it made of, concrete?!

"Oh, sorry. Papa should've let you touch it first, it takes around 10 seconds for it to adjust to the wearers preference."

Wha-What's this? The necklace suddenly got lighter, and whats more, it's split in two?! Oh no, papa's gonna kill me!

"Oho, what's this we have here? Two bracelets?"

Instead of a lengthy necklace, I was now holding two separate bracelets that looked like they would just fit around my wrists. They were speckled with diamonds and had a semi-large ruby in the middle, much like what the necklace version had.
