The Case of Being Reincarnated as a Noble in a World with a Skewed Gender Ratio - 3

Chapter 3: My Name Is…

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“Mmmh… Nngh… Burp…”

“You’re drinking so well~ Good boy~”

Every time I drank a lot of her breast milk, my mother would praise me in baby language and gently pat my back to allow me to burp… 

I was truly fortunate that my mother was such a kind person. She was really cute too… I wonder how happy I would be if I could have someone like her as my wife.

Thinking about it, I became curious to know what kind of man was lucky enough to get married to her… Right. I had never seen my father since I was born. Maybe he was away for work? Or maybe… Well, I would know about it eventually anyway.

＊＊＊

My neck wasn’t strong enough. If no one supported my neck with their hands, my head would wobble back and forth. Hence why, if I wanted to check my surroundings, I needed to wait until I was being held by my mother. When she supported my neck like this, I could see my surroundings. I had mixed feelings about this, but there was nothing I could do about it since I was just a newborn baby.

Based on the things I could see so far, I knew for certain my family was rich. However, there was no electricity. I mean electricity like lamps and stuff, you know? By the way, during the night, we used candles as a source for light… Strange, huh?

Not only that, but this house also had.. Maid? Housekeeper? Servant? I wasn’t entirely sure what to call them, but there was some sort of helper in this house. Also, since this family was wealthy enough to have maid, I thought they would surely diapers like Mamyp*k* or something, but no. They used cloth diapers instead. Well, I guess I shouldn’t stereotype people since my cousin mentioned some people preferred to use cloth diapers… Anyway, that was just something that crossed my mind. I didn’t have any intention to talk badly about cloth diapers. 

Don’t get me wrong, okay?

＊＊＊

“Minya, I’ve decided.”

“What is it, Madam?”

I heard a voice… It seemed I had fallen asleep in my mother’s arms… Well, a baby’s job was only to sleep or cry. There was nothing I could do about it. However, it seemed my mother and the maid were talking about something. I quietly listened to them, trying not to make any noise.

“His name.”

My name?

“Really?!”

No, why is she that surprised?

“This child’s name is El… El von Altair.”

Wait?! My mother… What did she just say? Is this a foreign country? But how come I understand what she’s saying? I mean, she’s definitely speaking in Japanese though?! I really don’t get it..

“…Madam… What a wonderful name!”

“Right? I thought  about it long and hard.. Right, El?”

This is it! It’s time for me to fulfill my duty as a baby!

“Kyaa~ Kyaa~♪”

“Oh my… El, you were awake, huh?”

“Furthermore, it seems he likes the name, Madam..”

“Really?”

“Absolutely, Madam.”

“Kyaa~♪ Kyaa~♪”

“He’s laughing again.”

Phew… Hopefully I lived up to my mother’s expectations. Glad to see my mother looked so happy though! Her happiness is the most important thing here!

But still, my new name is El, huh… Where am I exactly anyway? England? France? Maybe I can understand the language just fine because of those special perks for getting reincarnated into a novel or something? Maybe… This is another world?!

Nah~ No way~ There’s no way that’s true~
