When I used to read fantasy, I never thought that something like this could happen to me.
But even so, I've been in this world for about 5 years. And the only thing I know about my past life is that it happened. I don't know what gender I was, how old I was, or even if I died of natural causes or not. Maybe I was hit by a truck?
I don't remember anything from my past life, except for a shit ton of manga and novels. And of course, they were all about other worlds... Coincidence? I don't think so!
I'm not even sure that I'm human at all. Well, I mean that I have white ears like a fox, as well as a tail, and the same white hair, which is completely unnatural. Although I remember a ton of different literature, which was mainly Japanese, but this is another and the last thing I remember from my past life. I remember countries that I heard about or supposedly visited.
The first few years were pure hell for me!
I mean exactly, I couldn't do anything, I just lay in my crib and shit myself. If I was reborn, then give me back at least some memory at a more conscious age!
And the so-expected golden finger or system, I don't have! When I checked it, it was pretty awkward, because my mother caught me, but I was three years old then, so she just dumped it all on the game.
Speaking of my mother, she was very beautiful, she had the same white ears and tail, white hair, with red eyes. It's immediately obvious who I took after.
Also, the most noticeable part of her body was her breasts. Although it's hard to call them breasts, but rather planets!
If I took after my mother, at least I won't inherit her breasts. I can already feel this unbearable pain in my back, from these two sacks of flour.
And what did I inherit from my father?
I don't know!
I mean, I don't even know who my father is. Maybe he just went out for bread, and maybe he'll be back by the age of 30?
This is a joke, of course.
"Honey, breakfast is ready." - I heard my mother's voice from the kitchen.
I immediately left the room without thinking and headed to the kitchen.
As soon as I entered the kitchen...
"Happy birthday, honey!" - said my mother, holding a cake with lit candles in her hands.
I just smiled happily at her, and was already in anticipation.
In this life, I really loved only my mother and cakes, especially chocolate ones. Sometimes I even had an internal conflict about whether I liked my mother or the cakes more, but so far my mother wins.
"Thank you, mommy." - I said and went up to her.
"Well, come on, honey, blow out the candles and make a wish." - she said, which I did right away.
I want to find myself a beautiful girl!
Is it strange for a five-year-old girl to want to find a partner, and of the same sex?
Well, let's start with the fact that I'm not five years old, well, mentally... And the fact that I want to find myself a girl, in my opinion, is connected with the fact that I was either a guy in a past life, or a lesbian. But I'll hardly ever find out.
"Honey, do you want to share your wish with your mom?" - my mom asked me.
"Mom, if I tell you, the wish may not come true," I said.
In fact, I can't tell her that I wished for a girl. I don't know yet how she will react to this, and all this at my tender age of five. She may suspect something. And I'm afraid of this, what if she starts to treat me differently? I don't want to change anything, I like everything as it is.
"Okay, okay. Let's eat!" she said and started cutting the cake.
I immediately sat down at the table and waited for the cake.
"Honey, I'll be late at the store today, I hope you don't get into trouble today," said Mom.
"Mom, it was Serval and Gepard's fault then. They were fighting again, and I was separating them!" I objected.
Mom just smiled at me.
"They're sister and brother, but they act like a cat and a dog," she said.
Well, most likely like a cat and a cat, well, because of their names and stuff.
"And what about Lynx? She's the youngest in the Landau family, I think?"
"Well, she's pretty timid, and Serval and Gepard are too protective of her, they dote on her," I answered.
"I see… Anyway, I understand that you'll be playing together again today?" Mom asked.
"Yes, we agreed yesterday," I said.
"Okay, just don't come home late. I'll leave it in the fridge for dinner," Mom said, to which I simply nodded and continued eating the cake.
My mom has her own clothing store, which brings in quite a lot of money, which allows us to live in abundance.
She only sews warm clothes.
Why?
That's because our city is the only living city on the planet called Yarilo 6, and the city is called Belobog. Almost the entire planet is one continuous glacier, and this has been the case for many centuries. It would seem that it should be terribly cold inside the city, too, but no. Surprisingly, it's not too cold here, although this didn't stop me from getting sick a couple of times.
After finishing the cake, I quickly got ready and said goodbye to my mom, leaving our house.
In fact, Belobog was quite a beautiful city, and to be honest, it reminds me of one of the cities from the past world, only I can't remember which one.
We agreed to meet at the square, where I headed.
When I reached the square where the monument stood, I began to wait for my friends.
"Guess who!" a voice came from behind me, when a pair of hands covered my eyes.
"Well, I don't know… Maybe Serval?" I asked.
"You guessed it!" Serval said, removing her hands.
I immediately turned around and noticed my three friends Serval, Gepard, and Lynx.
"Happy birthday!" my friends said to me at the same time.
"This is from me!" Serval said to me, handing me two sticks.
"Drumsticks?" I asked.
"Yeah, I thought about it and decided that you'll be the drummer in my band." she said, to which I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah, yeah, but that requires drums." I said with a grin.
She pouted and turned her head away.
"For drums, I don't have money." she mumbled, to which I simply laughed.
"Thank you for the gift." I said.
"Now it's my turn." the only guy in our group said.
"Here." he said, handing me a book.
"A book?" I asked.
"This is a book on fencing for beginners. I remember you once said that you wanted to learn fencing." he said.
"Thank you! I like this gift." I said, and then looked at Lynx, who was timidly stretching her legs, lowering her head, and holding something behind her back.
"Come on Lynx, be brave, she'll definitely like your gift." Serval said.
Lynx looked up at me and silently handed me a white teddy bear, which was very cute.
I took it in my hands and immediately felt its softness, which was comparable to my tail.
"Hehe, thank you Lynx, I like your gift."- I said thanking Lynx, which made her blush.
I collected all the gifts and put them in my backpack.
"So what are our plans for today?"- I asked.
"How about playing hide and seek, or maybe we should go explore the city?"- Serval asked.
"I don't mind playing hide and seek."- Gepard said.
"I wasn't asking you, I was asking the birthday girl."- Serval said.
I saw how Gepard wanted to object, but I quickly stood between them.
"Let's at least not "fight" today, please."- I said.
They immediately calmed down.
"Well, since Luna asked us…"- said Serval and fell silent.
Luna, that's my name in this life. Although I don't even remember my name in the past life, and whether my name was male or female.
"In any case, we'll go to school soon, and you, Luna, will go to school?"- asked me Gepard.
In fact, although it sounds like an ordinary school, but it's only available to wealthy families, and it's quite expensive. I'm sure that Mom will have enough money to pay for the school, but we'll have to reduce expenses on everything, including the cake, which I can't agree with.
Cakes are a priority for me, rather than any school!
"I don't know Gepard. School is quite expensive for Mom…"- I said and fell silent immediately, when Lynx took my hand.
Of our group, she was the smallest and the cutest, with her hat with ears.
"We already asked mom to pay for your education, it's our common gift," Lynx said timidly, to which I only sighed.
The thing is that Mrs. Landau dotes on me, and even considers me another daughter, and my mom doesn't mind. And I'm sure that even if it weren't my birthday, she would find an excuse to pay for my education at school.
And I really don't really want to go to school. It's not just that I'll be surrounded by kids who will behave stupidly, except for these three. Even though I don't remember my past life, I have knowledge in different fields. And going to a school where a math lesson will consist of addition and subtraction… well, that's so-so. Although I wouldn't mind going to school because of one subject, "History." I want to know more about Yarilo 6, for example, since the planet's name has 6, it means there are other planets, who named the planet that way, where did we get such technology to know about other planets, and so on.
But the most interesting thing would be to find out what was before "Permafrost", what the planet was like before, and why this disaster happened.
In the end, who am I...
I mean, in Belobog, only my mother and I have fox ears and a tail, that's what makes me think that my mother is not from this planet, or something like that
"Well, then, you can't get away from me," I said with a smile, which made everyone laugh.
"Well, are we going to play hide and seek?" Serval asked impatiently.
We just nodded and started counting, and the first one to look was Gepard.
As soon as he started counting, we started running in different directions. Except for Lynx, who went with Serval. We would never leave her alone, nothing could happen...
I ran into the alley and hid behind a trash can, sitting on a box.
According to my predictions, Gepard had already started looking, I just had to wait until they found me, or until he gave up on me, that he couldn't find me.
While I was hiding, I heard someone crying, which immediately caught my attention.
I walked deeper into the alley, where I saw a girl, my age, at least in appearance.
She had gray hair, and rather expensive-looking clothes.
She hadn't noticed my presence yet, so I walked up to her.
"Are you okay?" I asked the poor girl worriedly.
My words made her flinch a little, and she raised her head and looked at me with her watery eyes.
"Who are you?" she looked at me a little scared.
I just smiled at her and answered.
"My name is Luna, and what's yours?" I asked.
"Bronya..." she answered timidly.
I smiled even wider and extended my hand to her.
"Nice to meet you," I said, and she just awkwardly shook my hand.
"So why were you crying, Bronya?" I asked.
She lowered her head again and began to speak quietly.
"I saw a cute raccoon, and I chased after it… and got lost. Mother Cocolia will scold me."
I could see that she was about to cry again, so the only thing I could do was hug her.
She was a little shocked, but she accepted my hug, and she was a little surprised that I had a tail that was wrapped around her. Apparently, because of her tears, she didn't notice my fox accessories, so as soon as she realized that I had ears and a tail, she was about to ask a question, but a voice interrupted her.
"There you are, Bronya!"
