I was looking at the updated Quest I had just gotten a little while ago.
[Quest Title: Who am I?

Objective 2: Find out where you are, currently.

Failure: You'll have to face the people without memories of your body for a little while, Possible suspicion from the family members and residents of the house about you.]
I had completed the first objective which was talking to the maid. Luckily, I didn't have to speak much, except for that one time when we bickered about me bathing with my undies on.
That was… awkward.
Now I had to find out where I was. That is the name of this place and my approximate location.
'This one would be troublesome.'
I couldn't just ask someone since that would be weird and may raise suspicion.
I could try and look for a library. Surely this rich household must have one. And there I could find this info. Most nobilities usually had books about their family history and all that stuff.
That was my best plan at the moment. But for that to happen, I needed to finish with the breakfast event.
I looked at the opened door and took a deep breath.
I felt a bit nervous at the thought of seeing my new family.
'Would they notice something strange about me? They'll definitely notice that I'm not acting like my usual self if they observe carefully.'
I just prayed to God that I somehow manage to not raise any suspicion.
I hadn't even realized that I had turned from an atheist to a believer. I guess dying and getting transmigrated by a God('s Automatic Reincarnation System) does that to a man.
I entered the room and noticed a fairly long table surrounded by chairs. Both are made up of fancy and polished wood, reddish-brown in color.
And on the right side of the table, I noticed 3 figures, sitting. Three females.
The first one, who sat at the right end of the table, was a gorgeous brunette woman who appeared to be in her mid-30s. She had that motherly aura around her. Her calm green eyes were full of kindness that she directed toward her children. Her skin was fair and had a strange glow to it as if she had just come out of a bath. She wore a noblewoman dress that had a large open cut around the front, showcasing her more than impressive breasts.

Looking at that woman, I was momentarily stunned, with only one thought in my head.
'Holy mother of MILFs. That's an S-tier MILF.'
Once I noticed the rising heat in my pants, I came back from my delusions and took deep breaths to calm myself down.
The woman in question, however, noted my and the maid's arrival and stood up. Her lips formed the kindest and most loving smile I had ever seen a woman give.
She thanked the maid who simply bowed in response and then went to stand near the wall with other maids.
The woman then spoke to me.
"Alex, my darling. You're finally up. I'm so very glad to see you here today."

'Hmm?'
Her face had gained even more youthfulness and brightness as she came close to me. As she reached me, I realized my head was in line with her lower side breasts. Another reminder of my low height.
And the breasts seem to come to approach me closer and closer.
I soon found myself nuzzled into two beautiful and soft mounds; My little head easily being squished in the bountiful valleys of hers.
'I guess this answers my question about whether there is heaven… I'm already in it.'
I closed my eyes and took a whiff of her scent. She smelled heavenly and calming. Different from the maid's fresh and sharp yet delightful smell, my mother's perfume seemed to be leaning towards providing a calming effect.
It really suited someone like her.
For some odd reason though, I was so entranced by it that I started to feel at ease and fall asleep there. It was too comfortable there…
'Wait, something isn't right—'
Alas, after a little while which didn't feel very long, I was let go by the fragrant hills.
'—Ah, no… Come back…'
I felt reluctant to let go of that place, but I had to. And before long, I came back to my sense, feeling sheepish and confused.
'What the… what kind of magic is hidden in those jugs of hers?! I felt like they were trying to brainwash me into staying there for eternity!'
[Brainwashing and Mind Control do not work on the user due to the additional effects of '????'. I believe it had to do with your body remembering the feeling of its mother, feeling relieved. This feeling you experienced likely has to do with the lack of proper coordination between your soul and body. It should be fixed when you get your memories.
Though… I believe part of you was just happy that he got to hug a beautiful woman with big breasts. Though, that part is not confirmed.]
'I see… and you didn't have to say the second part. That kinda hurt.'
'System's' interruption and rude remarks caused me to come back to my full senses, though. I knew I was feeling way too good in there. It was because of my body… AND NOTHING ELSE! … Only my body.
The woman then looked at my face as she cupped her soft and warm hands on my small and slightly chubby cheeks.
"You look adorable, sweetie. Did you have a good sleep?"
She asked, her voice kind and cheerful. I realized it was my turn to speak, so I did.
"Yes. But… I saw a nightmare tonight."
I spoke, partially making stuff up and partially speaking the truth.
To be honest, that was probably the worst sleep I had ever had. I was killed in mid-sleep and then woke up, in another freaking world(!), in a new body, with a god-awful headache.
Definitely not good sleep.
"Oh, no! My dear baby had a nightmare?! It's okay, love. Everything is alright! It was just a dream."
[+10 Affection Points from ???.]
I was once again hugged, and found myself back in the bountiful heavens, missing the second sudden affection gained from this woman.
"Mmm… It was awful. But I feel much better now."
My voice was muffled and quiet, almost on autopilot as I made up shit on the go.
Soon, I was starting to get half-entranced by her lovely fragrance and the out-of-this-world softness.
'Need those memories… though… this is good too.'
By this point, I had more or less an idea of who this woman was. She was most likely my, I mean, Alexander's mother. It was pretty obvious by her mannerism and affection for me. That and she looked old enough to bear a child.
'Seems like I have a loving mother in this life as well… That's good. Though, she seems to really dote on me, unlike my original mother.'
Ah, don't get me wrong. I'm neither calling my previous mother un-loving nor was I suddenly accepting this woman as my new mom just like that. Na-uh. That was not going to happen any time soon. I have… had only one mother and that's the mother who gave birth to me, Alex Sanders.
There was no other "mother" for me.
It might be cruel for this loving and caring woman, but it was just how I felt.
I may try to reciprocate her kindness and love, and call her my 'mom', but that would be solely out of necessity. I couldn't just accept new parents so suddenly, even if I had died and transmigrated.
Such grave and grim thoughts flourished in my mind, warring the physical joy I felt in her embrace.
It felt weird… suddenly having a new mother.
Like all good things, that hug also came to an end. Fortunately, this hug had lasted longer than the last one and I was feeling more content this time.
After this, we greeted each other and I was led, my hands in hers, to the dining table. I sat on the second seat from the right, between two young girls.
I had failed to properly observe these girls since my complete attention was sucked in by two fair and skin-colored black holes.
But now that I was barely out of their gravitational pull, I observed the two young girls properly.
The first one was a little girl who looked younger than me, and was sitting at the corner-most seat, near my 'mother'. She had light brown hair, tied in a cute ponytail, with two cute-looking hair clips holding her bangs. She had a cute little face and a matching frame.
She was probably around 10 if I had to guess. Maybe even younger since she had such a small frame.

When she saw me looking at her, she looked down while fidgeting and turned her head towards my 'mother'. We didn't hold any conversation or greeting.
My first impression of her was:
'She is cute and shy.'
I made an educated guess that she must be my younger sibling.
Looking at her somewhat reminded me of my own younger sister. She was just 3 years old when I… passed away.
I wondered if she would even remember me when she grew up. I knew she was old enough to know who I was to her, but children had fickle memories. She might forget my face after a few years. Who knew if she'd even remember much of her dead oldest brother when she reached adulthood.
That thought stung my heart.
My little sister was one of the few joyful things in my life, along with my parents(obviously), video games, and anime/manga.
Remembering those things sent me into another rabbit hole of now memories that now felt nostalgic so suddenly.
It was funny how I found them so 'nostalgic' when I was living that life, among them, just yesterday.
Maybe it was more to do with the incomprehensible distance this time, rather than time itself, that I felt like so.
I shook my head once my heart started aching too much and my throat felt like it had caught a lump.
'No, stop. Focus. Don't get distracted by… memories.'
Taking a deep breath to calm my nerves, I turned away from the shy younger sibling and then looked at, what I assumed to be, my other sibling.
Short fiery red hairs, and matching ruby red eyes. Her face was perfectly chiseled and she could easily be called a beautiful girl.

But rather than feeling entranced by what I guessed to be a mid-teenager girl, I was shocked! So shocked that I was now staring at her with wide eyes and an open mouth.
'Holy shit… Of course, I know who she is. It's mother flipping Emma! The dead War-hero Marquis's daughter. It's freaking Emma Maximus! … Is this some sick joke you're playing on me, System? Did that God of Creation do it intentionally?'
The system didn't answer, and I was left perplexed. A mixture of happy, confused, and excited emotions flowed in my head, as I kept staring at her.
The girl in front of me, who I now recognized as one of the important characters from the game, was Emma Maximus, or Emma K. Maximus as her full name seemed to be. She was one of the first 'Capture Targets' of the game when the story began at the Noble's Academy.
She looked a few years younger than her canon self, so I guessed that the timeline must be pre-story.
'If she's here, that means I'm her brother? So, I must be in the Marquis' mansion, her home, in Maximus city. Oh, how did I miss that surname!? Of course, there's only one Maximus family in the Empire and that is the one where Emma comes from!'
I have had a few revelations by now, about my approximate location and also the approximate timeline.

Another day(for me) and another chapter!
You may get one more chapter today, if I feel motivated enough. So, make sure to motivate me. :D
