Reincarnated: The First of my Kind

Chapter 15: It's my Birthday!

Chapter 15 | It's my Birthday! |

"Hello there, my name is James Ghryffon."

Gold, that's all that the wave of hair could be described as.

"H-Henlo..."

Akira's face quickly changed into a velvety red as she fumbled with her words and twiddled her fingers.

"Why, if it isn't the daughter of the Infamous Oyabun."

'What? H-He actually knows a junior like me? Gahh! This couldn't be more embarrassing, what should I do, what should I do?!'

While Akira's mind was suffering from internal strife, Erin decided to stand up to the Blonde Beetle, because in his eyes, he wasn't a very good guy.

"Hey blondy, why'd you have to be here while Akira was racing? You made her lose you know."

"Huh? What do you mean pipsqueak? She was the one that was eyeing me and lost herself."

The blonde, James, was in fact taller than Erin by about half a foot, this intimidated Erin quite a bit.

"Oh yeah... well-!"

A little nudge was all it took for Erin to be knocked over, now Erin was quite strong but this Blonde guy was on another level. He probably wasn't as strong as Akira but he was miles ahead of Erin in terms of strength.

"H-Hey!..."

There wasn't much Erin could do except watch as this dung beetle walked off with his arms around the one that he treasured overall, the one that he was supposed to be protecting in Tomoe's steed.

"That Bastard..."

Erin's words must've reached the insects ears because he glanced back with a smug look as he pulled the bashful Akira closer to him.

Tomoe's POV:

It's finally time! My birthday has finally come around and for some reason I'm really excited! I can't remember the last time I was this excited for my birthday, because in this world you only get special birthdays at the ages of 5, 10 and 15, with 15 being a coming of age party.

"Young Lady Tomoe, it is time to wake-!"

"JESSICA IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!"

Backtracking 3 months ago to the day after we had that run in with the people from outside of the forest, or as Mama and Papa like to call them, "The Humans" , Carol and Jessica returned from their expedition and brought with them numerous foods from the outside world. But that wasn't the only thing, that night I spied them sneaking out into the forest and bringing inside with them a bigger bag filled with many more things, but that morning I couldn't find the bag no matter how hard I tried.

But none of that matters now, all that matters is that I find out what presents I'm gonna get! Hopefully Mama and Papa got me something really good for my birthday. Ah, I know, maybe they got me an Adamantium Katana or, or, or they made me a big birthday cake! W-Wait! Why am I thinking so childlike all of a sudden?! Well, I guess it's okay... it is my birthday and all...

"Lady Tomoe, p-please get off of me... you're crushing me..."

"Ah. Sorry."

I briskly hopped off of Jessica and helped her up, surprisingly enough my strength is really good for a just-turned-5-year-old. I could lift Jessica, who is almost 3 times as tall as me, without breaking a sweat or moving an inch when lifting.
