Chapter 2

There was something moving from above Vandyr, or rather Vin as it's what his parents called him. This moving object is called a crib mobile. Of course, Vin doesn't know about this. 

In response, Vin had been trying to touch the moving objects hanging from the crib mobile. But even so, Vin's size would not be able to reach it. In the end, he got frustrated and rested on the bed. 

"Ooh, how are you doing Vin?" A guy's voice asked from afar. "Here's your milk from mom.~" he added as he got closer.

It was Vin's father, who was in charge of taking care of him as his mother was away for work. Vin took the milk that was a breastfeed from his mother. 

As usual, Vin would feel relaxed upon gulping the milk. And like before, he'd end up sleeping afterwards. 

This kind of day continues to happen for 2 years. Today is Vin's second birthday. This occasion has been normal for Vin as it was the same as his previous world, where they would celebrate their birthdays together with the other orphans. The only difference was that the date when they were received by the orphanage was their birthdates. But with this kind of ruling, a certain someone broke it. 

There was a person named Tramp that became an orphan at the age of 5. At the time, Vandyr was 3 years old. This kid, even with the rule established, insisted on having his original birthdate as he was already used to it. The orphan caretakers ended up agreeing with him.

The rule which was followed by everyone was created due to the amount of young children that are brought to the orphanage that have no idea nor the ability to speak and walk at the time. But with just a certain person, he became an exception to that rule. 

Tramp was an observant person. He rarely speaks and likes to look at everyone a lot. Because of this, he was usually alone. It was like that until when Vandyr talked to him.

"Hey."

"Hi."

Even with Tramp being older than Vandyr, it was as if their ages swapped. 

"Join us."

"..."

Vandyr tried to convince Tramp even with his limited vocabulary. Because of this, he tried doing what he wanted through action. He then suddenly grabbed Tramp's wrist and was forced to play together with the rest of the children.

During that time playing, there was a time when Vandyr was so energetic that he ended up tripping due to a scattered stone. While falling, Tramp was ahead of him which made him fall on his ground too. Everyone in the orphanage laughed at them.

Such good times huh...

Vin thought as he received a gift from his parents. From his mother, it was a remote-controlled toy car which looked expensive. On the other hand, his father brought him a book. A children's book that is. 

There was a glare coming from Vin. Both of these weren't what he exactly wanted. For the toys, he thought that they were useless. For the books, he thought that he could have at least had a proper book which his father used to read.

But since Vandyr was reincarnated to this world, he decided to let it pass and accept the gifts. He smiled as a response upon receiving these. 

The next day, Vin decided to read the children's book that his father gave him. It was a thin book that only had 10 pages. There were even parts here that could be colored for the entertainment of a child. But this hasn't attracted Vin. Yes, he tried coloring before and ended up being amused but the fun did not last long as boredom kicked in. 

Just like what I thought... This children's book is too easy to read. Maybe I should sneak into my parent's room and start reading the big books there.

At the time, Vin had around 60% of knowledge about English vocabulary. But even so, words still cannot be pronounced properly due to his physical condition. But anyways, time would allow him to overcome this simple incident. 

Vin passed by his father who was sitting on a chair with his back facing the boy. He was in the living room who seemed to be working with something. Vin did not mind it and continued to go upstairs. With his small body, it was hard to get through with it. But since he found out crawling to be an easier way to go up, he went ahead and did this. 

Slowly, Vin reached his parent's room. He had no problems opening the door as it was partially opened. He went straight to the side of the bed where a table with a lamp above it could be found. Beneath was a shelf where books were kept. Vin took it and started reading. 

At such a young age, Vandyr was exceptionally good with english. The reason for this was no other than his friend from his previous world, Tramp. The observation skill was learnt by Vandyr as they grew older. This was also the reason he became the leader of a country before. But that was all in the past, don't mind that. 

It was 3 in the afternoon and Vin was still reading the book he borrowed from his father. He was so caught up with it that he didn't realize that his father was already looking at him, holding a phone and taking a picture of Vin. 

The send button was clicked and of course, it was sent to Vin's mother. The father smiled and walked up to Vin, who almost fainted from shock upon realizing the situation. 

"Seems like you don't like children's books huh. Well I guess I should go to the bookstore this saturday and bring you some books you might want," Vin's father said.

"I l-like this kind of b-book," Vin responded while stuttering. 

"Sure, I'll get you something like this."

Vin smiled as he realized that he'd have fun learning this upcoming week.
