I wanted to communicate with Yotsuba, but Nancy-san was taking care of her by her side all day. I had no chance to talk with her.
There’s no choice but to give her the scrolls I’ve been using for my independent study and the board with notes on grammar and vocabulary.
Then I take them out.
“Nyaa—”
“Eh? What are these scrolls? It’s a children’s story with some weird writing underneath.
And what are these massive planks of wood?”
[Please show them to Yotsuba.]
“I don’t understand, but if Neko-san said so, then it must be important.
All right, I’ll show them to Yotsuba-chan.”
After being reincarnated, she should start by learning the local language.
It will help her learn.
“Neko-san, what do you want to play next?”
Nell asked me, and I wrote, [Sugoroku].
“Let’s play, Nico brought me a new Sugoroku.”
And that’s how we decided to play Sugoroku.

Yotsuba POV
As usual, I got breastfed by Nancy-san.
That is fine, but now I’m soiling myself.
It’s embarrassing.
I’ve heard stories about elderly people in nursing care or the hospital who feel humiliated to wear diapers.
Now I understand that feeling well.
“Yotsuba doesn’t cry at night at all. I’m worried.”
“Is she supposed to cry at night?”
“Mhm. When Nell was little, you used to….”
Nancy-san begins to talk about Nell’s childhood.
Sorry for not crying at night because I sneaked out to do skill training.
“Ah, I just remembered. I have this gift for Yotsuba-chan.”
“Thank you, Nico-san.”
Eh? Scrolls and wooden boards?
…Woahh!
“It’s a fairy tale, and there are letters that I’ve never seen before.
Nico-san, what is this?”
“She probably needs it.”
This was written in Japanese, most likely corresponding to the local language.
Thank you! I’m grateful for the help!
“The baby is happy, thank you.”
“No, I’m glad that Yotsuba-chan is happy.”
I want to read it! I would love to read it, but… I’m still too weak to crawl. Maybe I need to train my muscles.
Well, sooner or later, Nancy-san or Nell-chan will show me.
I’ll study that.
