Awakening (2)
The concerned voice belonged to a beautiful boy with honey-colored hair tied up to his shoulders and turquoise eyes.
On the other hand, the teasing voice came from a mischievous-looking boy with short chestnut hair and turquoise eyes.
They are my older brothers.
They're about my second grandchild's age. Speaking of which, I wonder how his middle school teacher-parent conference went? Will he be able to go to that football powerhouse school he wants to? Just like me, he's not great at math and science...
While I'm thinking about this...
"Noel, Gene, come in."
Father called out to the two boys.
[Noel Lampail]The eldest son of the Lampail family.
Fire element
He's eight years older, academically excellent, handsome, promising for the future, and a feminist, making him quite popular among young ladies. However, he has no interest in romance at all and is a bookworm preparing to join the wizard guild in the future.
[Gene Lampail]The second son of the Lampail family.
Wind element
He's six years older, straightforward, and a refreshingly sporty boy with a bright smile. He treats everyone the same and can adapt to the surrounding conditions flexibly. Because of this, he remains just a good friend in the eyes of young ladies.
"Jo, are you really okay? Do you feel nauseous at all?"
How kind of you, Brother Noel. In contrast, Brother Gene is looking down with his shoulders trembling slightly. Oh, he's laughing.
"I'm sorry for worrying you, Brother Noel, Brother Gene."
I unleashed my sales smile, a technique I picked up from my past life.
What do you think? Isn’t it a skill I developed after working 15 years at a discount store? It was well known even at my part-time job at the supermarket after getting married.
“””"……"”””
Huh? What’s wrong? Why is everyone frozen? Wait, even the butler and maids are frozen. Did I do something wrong?
"... It seems like she's still feeling unwell. Let's let her rest a bit longer."
Father said this with a wry smile and took everyone out of the room.
Once everyone left and the door closed, I let out a sigh and rolled over on the bed.
Roll, roll… My 5-year-old body moves quite well. Looking at my hands, they are indeed small and adorable.
Alright, let's confirm the situation first.
There are two main problems.
First, right now, I have the memories of Joan up until age 5 and the memories of my past life at age 82. It's like both lives are cohabiting within me.
I never thought I would find myself in a situation similar to the light novel recommended by my grandchild. Living long really is something! Well, at this point, I am, after all, already dead.
And then there's the issue of being a noble lady despite having “Null” attribute during yesterday's baptism ceremony.
Normally, I should feel ashamed, but it doesn't bother me at all at this point. After all, I couldn't use magic in my past life.
Well, smartphones and AI were kind of like magic in my previous life… But they were convenient once I got used to them.
Oh? I forgot that the cleaning robot Taro should be back from maintenance soon.
But since this is apparently a different world...
What would my Father and the others think of me, having the Null attribute? I bet they are disappointed. Will they sever ties with me?
Maybe I will end up being treated like a servant? But in a way, it might not be so bad since I won't be kicked out. After all, with more than 50 years of experience as a housewife, I don’t mind the household chores.
Grrr~~~
Anyway, I’m hungry. This body hasn’t eaten anything since yesterday morning.
If I think of my past life, it’s like I’ve been surviving on porridge and hospital ice cream for a week... I need to eat something because you can’t fight on an empty stomach.
First, I should find something to eat. Since I look like a child, are there limits on what I can eat? Well, I can't drink alcohol, right? I mean, I’m just a kid...
My mind is that of an adult. Actually, more like that of an elderly person...
Hmm!?
I look like a child? My mind is that of an adult... It's just like those boy mangas I loved since I was young.
"Heave-hoh."
I stood up on the bed, placed my left hand on my waist, raised my right hand to my chest height, and pointed.
"With the appearance of a child and the intellect of an adult, I am Joan Lampail!"
Hah! Nailed it!!
"Pfft—!"
“Ahahahaha~”
Huh? What’s going on?
With trepidation, I turned around to see Brother Noel shaking with laughter and Brother Gene doubled over, clutching his stomach.
Oh no, I’ve done it now.
I squatted down, holding my head in my hands right there.
What do you think about this chapter?
