I Would Like To Live A Different Life If I Could Go Back In Time - Episode 6

“Wh-where am I…?”

Slowly getting up, I look around.

That’s right, I had Dr. Paron cast a dream spell on me, and I ended up moving to the house my grandfather used to live in.

“Emma, good morning.”

Eme is sewing next to me while I’m sleeping.

Emma froze when she saw me, her expression as if she couldn’t believe it, as if a miracle had happened, and then suddenly she hugged me tightly while crying uncontrollably.

“Lady Yuria!! You’ve woken up!! Ugh. Waaaaahhh!”

“Emé, if you cry that much, your eyes will melt. Thank you for everything until now. I was so happy that you kept talking to me even while I was sleeping. I’m okay now.”

When I was comforting Eme, who was crying uncontrollably, the door suddenly opened.

“Emé! I heard your voice, are you okay?!”

The man who entered the room is dressed as a chef.

“Graham! The young lady has woken up!”

“Emé, who is this person?”

“This person is Graham, who works as the cook and bodyguard for this household.”

“Yes, you said Graham. Thank you for always protecting this house and us. We look forward to your continued support.”

“Y-yes!”

In the midst of an emotional reunion, a loud growl comes from my stomach.

“…It seems like I’m hungry. Could you prepare some food for me?”

“I’ll bring it right away.”

Graham said that and then ran out of the room.

In the meantime, I will ask Eme about the details. It seems that three years have passed since I delved into the dream.

So that means I’m six years old now.

I feel like I’ve been fighting for decades without a break, but I realize that I thought my physical growth was slow because only three years had passed.

And after sleeping for three years, my muscle strength has significantly decreased, and I can no longer walk on my own.

……This is bad.

What about my magic? It feels like my magic has increased many times over compared to before I woke up.

I think it’s because I kept circulating my magical power the entire time I was sleeping.

If one undergoes magical training from a young age, their magical power will increase, but a single misstep could lead to a catastrophic disaster, so magical training for those under ten years old is strictly limited.

Since royalty and high-ranking nobles are assigned tutors around the age of six, they are allowed to start magic training early. I, who was even younger than that, was using magic without rest.

It wouldn’t be surprising if it has increased dramatically. However, the amount of magical power is only measured when entering the academy. Even then, it’s a rough estimate, so I don’t think we can know the details.

Well, there’s no need to worry about it.

More importantly, now that I’ve awakened, I need to think about the future. When I asked Eme, it seems they kept the fact that they were sleeping under the dream magic a secret from my parents.

I heard that they send a magical letter once a month to report that their health hasn’t changed. When I heard that they had never received a reply from their father, the thought crossed my mind, “As I thought.”

It seems that the other colleagues working at the mansion occasionally send magical deliveries, and it turns out I have a younger brother now. Jonas is two years old and Allen is one year old.

Since I now have two younger brothers, it wouldn’t be surprising if I were to be kicked out at any time.

Come to think of it, my younger brothers were also in my memories from the past.

Since becoming that woman’s follower, she has been mocking me.

When he was little, he used to call me “nee-sama” and follow me everywhere like a cute little brother. I wonder if my younger brothers now still call me “nee-sama” cutely?

And considering my current situation, I think the future might have changed a bit.

If I were just weak, there might be a political marriage to seek a connection between our families, but if it’s a mental illness, the possibility of causing trouble for the other party is greater, so the chance of a political marriage decreases.

There is a possibility of silently foisting the troublemaker onto someone else!

There’s also the possibility that I might not attend the academy at all. To avoid getting engaged to Prince Randolph, I’d either have to keep pretending to be sick and avoid meeting him, or get disowned by the count family.

But, I still have time. I need to come up with a solid plan.

But first, the immediate task is to regain the stamina I’ve lost!

My actions from that point on were swift.

I worked on building my stamina with the feeling that I have to do my best to make up for all the worry I’ve caused Eme so far.

I didn’t have any stamina, and at first, it was difficult to even stand, but I gradually built up my strength while enhancing my body with magic.

In less than a year, they were running around and moving actively.

The townspeople seemed surprised to see me, who hadn’t left the house for three years, suddenly running around the small town, but Graham and Emma explained to them that “my illness is getting better.”

The townspeople seem to have accepted it and are watching over me with kind eyes.

Running around the town and exploring the forest on the outskirts, I’m playing in a way that’s appropriate for my age.

This area might be influenced by the spirit of the ages.

When I was living in the royal capital, I was always composed and kept my emotions hidden, but now they seem to be exploding.

There are already younger brothers, so there are no issues with the succession.

I’m starting to think that becoming an adventurer and living as a commoner might not be such a bad idea.

Yes, yes, I informed Doctor Paron about my awakening through a magical delivery. He replied saying he wanted to know more, but since his territory is far away and he can’t come to examine me, we decided to exchange letters regularly.

Every time, the letter says that if you ever return to the royal capital, I would definitely like to examine you.
