Chapter 001 – Reincarnated in a Different World

Slowly appearing from the water’s surface, Hotta Youta had regained consciousness and opened his eyes.

…Is this the hospital?

My last memory was burned into my memory; being bullied for being a loner and getting stabbed repeatedly with a kitchen knife– something like that.

I was brought to a hospital, luckily, I expected I’d lose my life. But no matter how hard I tried I didn’t feel anything.

I was put to sleep on top a soft bed with pure white sheets and for some reason the one sleeping next to me was an infant.

Sleeping together with a baby, for the wounds to quickly recover or something like that. Is this the latest medical treatment practice at this hospital?

For argument’s sake, a.s.suming I concede 100 steps, no… 10000 steps, for such a treatment to exist.

Hmm? Does the baby sleeping next to me have dog ears?

To start with, I doubt there is an artificial product such as this. The silver ears that were twitching brought themselves to my attention. They were the real deal before my very eyes.

Perhaps a mutation that deforms the human body? And possibly from child birth?

After pondering about that matter, a woman came to glance at me.

“—, —, —-.”

She did not speak j.a.panese, nor did she talk in a language I was familiar with.

However, not only was her language noticeable, but also her figure.

About in her early 20s. In addition to being a tall woman, she also had noticeably big b.r.e.a.s.t.s.

She was a beautiful girl with slightly droopy eyes. But thanks to that, she had a gentle expression that could make everyone looking at her relieved.

Above all, I had noticed that the color of her hair was pink and ears that sprung up similar to rabbits above her head.

She was smiling delightfully while her rabbit ears fluttered about.

There is no way they could have produced such product, was my initial reaction.

She extended her arms and carried me.

This has to be a lie! As a typical adult, I may have a small frame. But for a female to easily carry me, there is no way it can be that easy!?

Not only she was carrying me so easily, but also swayed me in order to lull me into a sleep.

『The rabbit-eared person is inhuman so she might not consider carrying me as a big deal』

I had also suspected that, and soon found out the real truth.

Wh, What, Heeeeey!

The shape of the rabbit eared woman, that had carried me by herself, was reflected lightly by the window gla.s.s — There a black haired infant the woman was carrying was also reflected.

“Waaaa, waaa!”

Moving my mouth,  I tried to speak.

The one being reflected there was unmistakably me.

For the sake of calming myself down, how many days here had pa.s.sed?.

So many astonis.h.i.+ng events came one after another.

Calm down, stay cool… First of all, let me confirm the situation one at a time.

I woke up after being stabbed by that former bully, and I became an infant.

I was laid to sleep in a large wooden bed together with another infant.

The sleeping baby with silver hair next to me had dog-like ears comparable to the animal characters that appear in anime and manga.

Even the ears of the woman who often came to see the situation in the room was not human. She had rabbit ears.

Except animal people don’t really exist. Besides, her body looks like a foreigner. While I was thinking, a fat oba-chan entered and changed our diapers and fed us milk.

The oba-chans were talking to each other but it wasn’t in English, Russian, or Chinese.

“——, —.”

“–, –.”

The rabbit-eared woman had entered the room, and she began a conversation in a friendly manner with the oba-chans. She lifted up the dog-eared baby next to me.

She put her hand on the baby’s head.

That hand gave out a faint light.

“–! –, —”

She smiled broadly after she spoke.
