Chapter 1: Nice to meet you
Chapter 1: Nice to meet you
Greetings. I’m 8 years old Ellen who has for some reason reincarnated.
I would never have thought that I would end up in what the Buddhism calls the wheel of reincarnation.
Before my rebirth, I was a scientist in the country called Japan and religion happened to be a completely unrelated concept to me.
At my research institution I was mainly focused on discovering new substances and researching new materials.
Examining composition of the substance, measuring, inspecting trial products and other various things. Elucidating the influence and the phenomenon of metal compounds, electron systems and the organic conductors in the substance and etc. Although it was a different department, when we succeeded in synthesizing a new element, everybody created a big uproar in the institution.
Frankly speaking, I don’t remember why I died at all.
I feel like I might have been doing some kind of experiment in the laboratory, but I also feel like I might have collapsed from overworking since I was doing overnight research on a daily basis.
At 28 years of age, I was a woman pretty much married to the research but I do remember that every day was fulfilling enough.
Anyway, returning to the beginning, that story of the hero is about my father in the present world.
My mother is the Queen of genesis, Origin. And born between a human and a spirit 8 years ago is me.
To tell the truth, my father did go to sleep in the spirit world, but he woke up in about an year.
Immediately after waking up, he become tired from listening to the summary of the events that happened and using the excuse that it would too much trouble to go back, he stayed in the spirit world, bound a contract, become lovers with my mother, the Spirit King, who was his partner and exchanged pledges with her.
By exchanging vows with my mother, my father turned into half-spirit. Because of that, he became unable to control his powers.
He already had the power he borrowed from the Spirit King by making contract with her. In the process of taking this magic in and making it into his own power, a rejection happened when it mixed in with the magic power he originally had as the human and he became rampant.
Due to becoming dangerous, this time he was unable to return to the human world in a different sense of the word.
Practicing to control his powers in the spirit world, then, after I was born, taking care of me. And we arrive at the present where everything has finally settled down.
To be honest, this also includes a little bit of the period of my training.
I, who was born as a quarter of a spirit and a human, was fated to govern over the strong remains of what I had specialized in during my lifetime.
As soon as I realized that I had been reincarnated, made a blunder on the actual site during an experimental stage while trying to see what kind of fate I had and busted a big cheat.
I had been 2 years since my education as the next Queen of the spirit world had started when that incident happened, and I’m reflecting on it even now, but as a researcher, I have no regrets.
Conducting an experiment is very natural if my researcher soul, which has soaked deeply into my bones, gets curious. Otherwise I’ll be too bothered to even sleep.
Spirits who materialize need even more powers than great spirits do, but since I possess human blood, I’ve had the human form since the start and age at the same speed as humans.
That being said, perhaps because I’m still a spirit in one way or another, I’m smaller than the average human children. Compared to the average height of 140 cm of a 10 years old girl, right now I’m not even 120 cm. That’s why I’m often mistaken for a 5 or 6 years old.
My mother said that once I reached the body of a 15 years old in human terms, my growth would mostly stop. But she also added that even with that, my growth rate at the moment was way too slow.
That was when I noticed. My body from the past life is probably what’s affecting me. Since I was a runt.
……As you’ve probably guessed, I had a baby face and flat chest…Whenever I confessed my love to the opposite sex, I was told that they only saw me as an younger sister and the one time the other person declared that they didn’t want to go outside with me because whenever they walked with me they were treated as a criminal has become a minor trauma of mine.
By the way, my mother in this world has big boobs. She’s large breasted. It feels like her cup size is somewhere around the 8th or 9th letter counting from A. I’m praying that in the future DNA will do its job properly at least in this department.
However my father is always smiling, saying that it’s better if I stay small because that way it’d be easier to hug me anytime.
And I too, deciding that my height isn’t that important, live my everyday life by often raising my hands and pestering my father for hugs.
When my growth almost stops, from then on after I will mature by the speed of an year for each decade or hundreds of years. I think I want to take a long, looooong view at my growth.
Also, as you might have guessed, my powers as a spirit comes from my name Ellen, which actually derives from「element」. Yes, it’s a chemical element.
Due to some karma, I have been reborn as an elemental spirit.
