Bright morning dawn, Chai who is in the body of a baby girl named Mariel De Stella, is enjoying a new family in this world.
Looking around, she sees that Mariel's father was drinking his coffee and reading the newspaper. His name is Deric De Stella. Mariel's mother is making breakfast for everyone. Her name is Claudia De Stella. From what Mariel observed, Claudia used a small amount of fire magic power that shot out from her right hand, then she made the cooking equipment ignite. Without having to use fuel like in the previous world, looks like it's comfortable in a different way.
Deric's breakfast is just like the world Chai came from, there are fried eggs, sausages, hot baked potatoes, bread with jam and various fruits. It looks very appetizing.
As for Mariel's breakfast, in addition to the milk from the mother's breast. There is also warm porridge for babies. The taste of mixed fruit is finely crushed and is easy to swallow when you put it in your mouth. It's so delicious that you'll want to eat many more bowls.
As for the language that Sirgil had said, it was very easy to understand and their writing various letters Similar to English in the past world.
A house where 3 people live together, parents and a baby. It's a small house, not very big, has two floors and it doesn't have much modern equipment. Emphasis on simplicity like ordinary rural people. Next to the house there is a pickup truck for driving into the city or running important errands which uses solar energy instead of fuel to drive Including a small barn where Derick kept dozens of chickens and a pair of horses.
After finishing breakfast, Claudia often carries her daughter Mariel to watch Deric cleaning the barn in the morning. Mariel sits in the baby stroller and then Deric and Claudia help each other to collect the eggs and polish the fur of both horses regularly.
Neighbors often stop by to visit each other from time to time. Occasionally, they meet on the weekend and make delicious food to eat together. Many children come and play with Mariel as well.
Sometimes Mariel sees Derik fighting magic battles with his neighbors. They use fire magic, water magic, and ice magic in turns to fight, take turns losing and take turns winning. As for Mariel, she begins to memorize various fighting techniques from then on.
Approximately 3 years had passed, and Mariel's body had grown into a cute girl with gray eyes and shoulder-length blue hair with a hint of gray mixed in. Her clothes consisted of a light blue short-sleeved shirt with blue shorts. She is walking down from her own bedroom that she received a few days ago because her parents started allowing Mariel to have her own room to study by herself from now on.
"Good morning, Father and mother," Mariel greets them both in the morning like every other day.
"Good morning, Mariel," Derik and Claudia respond with smiles.
An American breakfast is on the way. Mariel eats with gusto. (In the life of the past, Chai almost only eat porridge with a little rice for breakfast.) But in this world, this perfect breakfast is enough to make Mariel satisfied for the happiest in her life.
"Thank you for the delicious breakfast, Mom." Marielle said gratefully.
"You're welcome, dear." Claudia replied with a smile.
Mariel's daily routine was the same as every other day. When everyone had finished eating breakfast, Mariel would follow her parents into the barn next to the house. She helped clean up waste inside the chicken coop, collect chicken eggs, then use a brush to scrub the horse's hair clean and shiny. Sometimes Deric would bring Mariel to ride his brown stallion across the green fields and look at the surrounding scenery. There were various kinds of flowers that had never been seen before in the previous world. There were also various wild animals rushing out around the horse that the father and daughter were riding, screaming throughout the area. It's an incredibly good feeling, like living in an ideal world.
"Today, I will take you to go fishing together. It's for our dinner." Deric smiled as he rode his horse to a clear stream not too far from the house.
"So, we don't use fishing rods?" Mariel asked curiously. Because normally in the past world, everyone had a fishing rod to use when fishing.
"What is a fishing rod, Mariel? Here we have another way to catch fish. I'll show it to you." Deric said with confusion but responded immediately.
Deric rolled up his pants legs to his knees and took off his shoes, then walked down to the center of the clear water stream where many fishes were swimming nearby. As for Mariel, she was standing next to the stream and was looking with interest.
Ah... Deric took a deep breath, putting both hands together in the center of his chest, blue sparks suddenly appeared on both arms. It's incredible,
both of Deric's arms it appeared as a stream of blue magic power surrounding it like a wave of water that slowly rotated into a medium sized spiral.
"Watch carefully, Mariel," Deric said, focusing on the group of fishes in his upper right corner. When he noticed one fish that was bigger than the others, he hurriedly arranged the power of the water waves immediately.
Scorching....
The power of the water waves swept towards the fish but floating up in the waves of the water and there was only that one big fish. The others were not harmed in any way. It was amazing.
Deric then used the waves of the water to carry the large fish closer and used both hands to hold the fish tightly to prevent it from escaping from his embrace.
"It's quite big. As for the others, let them grow first and then catch them again next time," Deric said, coming up from the stream and putting the fish into the fish box hanging next to the stallion.
"Alright, Mariel, would you like to try catching some fish? I'll help you some more." Deric asked invitingly.
"Yes, Dad." Mariel quickly replied happily.
Mariel then rolled up her pants and hurriedly stepped into the stream. But it's almost at the waist. The water is clear and very cool. This made her really want to take off her clothes and play in the water so much.
"Alright, stay in the left-hand corner of me. I just found another big fish." As soon as he finished speaking, Deric gathered his water magic power once again. It appeared as waves of water and swept towards the large fish. Until it floated about a meter above the water.
"Catch it! Mariel," Deric ordered immediately.
"Yes!" Mariel responded as she rushed closer to the fish that was falling from the waves and grabbed it. But the fish was almost as big as the girl's body and almost squirmed away from herself.
"I won't let it slip away, that's for sure." Mariel hugged the fish, nearly rolling it on the river. Her body was soaked with water, making a mess of her entire outfit. Finally, she caught the fish so tightly that couldn't wriggle out of it again.
"Very good, Mariel. But your clothes were all wet, Ha-ha-ha!" Derik praised while laughing as his daughter was soaked all over.
Mariel smiled and put the fish back in the box.
"Alright, two big fish should be enough for dinner. Let's take it back to Claudia, Mariel." Deric told her to go home after getting enough food for dinner.
"Yes, Father," Mariel responded.
They rode a horse back to their house and brought two fish to Claudia to cook for the evening.
After lunch is finished, Claudia and Mariel always tutor together on the basics of early childhood which consists of various basic subjects like the past world. Whether it's mathematical calculations, Kale language (like English) and basic history for children; Including basic magic for children aged 3 years and up.
Mariel is very studious. Because of the past world, there is hardly any opportunity to study. There are only old textbooks that people have donated to the orphanage, which doesn't have enough for all the children. Sometimes three people would have to sit and read one book together. These intentions make Mariel learn quickly, various tests that give answers to questions after each lesson are completed for almost every subject. It makes Deric and Claudia very proud of Mariel.
"My daughter is very talented. I'm so proud of you," Claudia praised as she planted a soft kiss on her daughter's left cheek. This made Mariel herself feel a little embarrassed. But it also felt very warm.
(I never expected that in this life, I would have the opportunity to meet such a perfect family. As an orphan, I have always yearned for love and warmth from my father and mother's embrace. Many times, I had to sleep with tears in my eyes after returning from working as a construction worker. The old images revolving around in my head only make my mental health deteriorate until my mind becomes almost numb to the feelings around me. But now, in this new world, I met a new father and mother, they were very kind, loving, caring and attentive all the time. These feelings were more than any other gift in the world. Nothing could replace these feelings. Every night I always slept well with a smile.) (Chai thinking)
"Alright, it's time now. I am going to teach Mariel some basic magic and it starts with fire magic, which is a basic skill that everyone must learn," Deric said and then he led Claudia and Mariel out into the wide yard in front of the house. It was noticed that there was a bonfire already lit.
They sat in different corners around a bonfire. The young girl's heart was filled with excitement that she would finally learn the power of magic in this new world.
"Now, pay close attention, Mariel. This would be a basic fire magic technique which used to build you to be a magician in the future," Deric said with seriousness.
