NOVEL NEXT chapter 7
7: An Overachieving Senior
I’m worried about my relationship with my junior.
Milim is truly quiet. She sits down flat, puts her fingers in her mouth, and stays still.
She doesn’t move no matter what I do. She doesn’t even respond when I invite her to play. Tickling her doesn’t work. She eats quietly. I just want her to stop quietly soiling her diaper. Cry and let me know.
This beast girl is so quiet that she seems fine if left alone. In fact, if I were just a two-year-old, I would probably leave Milim alone and deepen my friendships with my peers. But I am a reincarnator who has undergone a million reincarnations. I can speculate about the reason for Milim’s quiet behavior.
Milim is watching over me.
Lately, I feel her gaze no matter what the situation. She watches me eat and go to the bathroom.
Even when we play, she just stares at my face as if she’s not interested in the cube I gave her, which is supposed to be her favorite.
At this point, I become afraid that I might make a mistake and take care of Milim without revealing anything…
“…Hey, Rex-kun, isn’t your care for Milim-chan too perfect?”
“Yeah… It’s nice not to have to go through the trouble, but it’s not like the movements of a two-year-old… It would have been enough if you just let me know if something happened. It’s really helpful…”
…It was a trap!
That’s right, I’m a two-year-old. I have a two-year-old’s body and express my emotions like a two-year-old.
But I’m a reincarnator. Once I set my mind to “take care of Milim,” I can do it now, with a body that can move satisfactorily.
This determination is certainly suspicious.
I should have taken care of her like a two-year-old and left her alone to play…!
…Should I stop now?
But then, it would be thought that I heard the rumors and deliberately stopped.
Damn it, I let my guard down.
This seems to be the only way to fulfill Milim’s care.
I pat Milim’s back, making her burp, and contemplate our future plans.
Milim gazes at my face with her black eyes…
