章 4: Chapter 4: Emotion rollercoaster
And so seven years passed this way. When I was one year old I started talking. At 1 year 2 months old I started walking and at two years old, I started reading. A lot. Everyone called me a genius, and due to the body God granted me, even without exercising I became fitter, without growing too much muscles. With my eidetic memory and a faster learning speed than others, it allowed me to remember every single information I read before, causing me to have a lot of knowledge across every subject including geography, business, law, history and biology due to my father's occupation.
I found out more about each proficiency and realised that it was really hard to increase them. Each category consists of literally everything! For example, in science proficiency, it includes physics, chemistry, astronomy, biochemistry, microbiology, botany, zoology and many more! The fact that I even made it to intermediate proficiency within fours was amazing. Even though I was a jack-of-all trade, the knowledge I have on all the aspects of science was on a middle school level, if a middle schooler even learns astronomy or microbiology in the first place.
I didn't really focus much on business, finance or law since I had no interest in them for now anyway and only read them because of the lack of books available. My taekwondo didn't improve much at all since I had no proper teacher, and I was too young to kick anything anyway.

When I turned seven at the start of the year, a notification sounded in my mind.
[Quest: Make sure your mum passes away peacefully]
Description: Be by your mum's side and support her to the end
Rewards: 2x token for skills
Failure: Mother of host does not have a peaceful passing and removal of one skill
My mind dropped after hearing this, and tears flowed down my cheeks as my throat turns dry. I cried for hours until I get up. My parents were worried about me suddenly crying for hours but I shrugged it off with some excuse. They were suspicious but decided to forget about it. I decided to make sure that the next 9 months of my mother's life would be the happiest for her.
The first seven months were fun and I tended to her every need, sticking to her like glue and essentially replacing my father's position as her protector. My action made her slightly suspicious but due to the six year of always sticking close to her and the fact that she was pregnant she shrugged it off. The last two months were an absolute hell. She got weaker and weaker, until she could only stay in bed for the last one and the half month in bed all the time. During that time, I stayed close to her 24/7, and my father got worried. He spent majority of his savings he saved over the years on finding a doctor, but to no avail. None of them knew how to cure her.
During this period of time, I was really stressed. "Why? Why? How can I save her? Why must this happen to my family? Is it so hard to ask for happiness?"
I searched every way to try to find a cure for her. I searched through my entire memories to find a way. Then I remembered. I still had something. It was a gamble. A chance. But I had no other choice. If it didn't work, I had no choice but to accept my fate.
"System, spin my premium gacha."
[Spinning...]
[Host has gained a super item! 5x weakened senzu beads. Weakened senzu beads are oval-shaped green miracle beans, and is able to heal all injuries and restore energy levels over time, but was unable to eliminate hunger]
It was as though I was possessed. "Ahahahaha! God! Thank you so much! I will forever remember your kindness!"
Concealing my grin so that my parents didn't get suspicious of me, I quickly took out a senzu bead and placed it within the porridge that was going to be given to my mother. Seeng her slowly ingest her food, my heart was broken. She was so frail, so weak, yet so strong. So fragile, yet so tough. Despite her physical conditions, she never once complained, and quietly endured. She endured the baby inside her, she endured the pain she felt when she felt her family's hopelessness because of her, she endured the fact that she was not going to survive the birth. She was a strong woman. She was my mother. My strong mother.
I really wanted her to survive. I don't know what made me have the senzu beans. Maybe it was my will, maybe it was god, or maybe it was just my luck. But I didn't care. I got the beans. That was all that mattered.
During the next one month, I saw the beans did it's magic. The next few weeks made her cheeks had more colour. More rosy. Slowly but surely, she recovered. My father was bewildered. He didn't know what had happened, but he didn't care. His wife was recovering. That was all that mattered.
Even my mother was so surprised that she cried. She didn't cry when she felt pain, she didn't cry when she knew she was going to die, she didn't cry when she felt hopeless. But she cried now. After numerous checks on her by different doctors, she found out that she was recovering back to full health. She was so happy that she didn't have to die, that she didn't have to leave her family. She was so happy that she broke down in my father's arms, crying out everything she had endured the past few months. I was happy too. I didn't have to lose my family once again. Smiling brightly, I left the room with my mother still in my father's arms.
On that day she gave birth to a baby girl, whom she named Raiha Uesugi without consent from my father (again). She called for me after childbirth as I couldn't be present at that time.
"Fuutarou dear, look. It's your baby sister." She smiled gently as she stroked Raiha's cheek with a loving gaze. Moving closer to take a closer look, I found her squirming under my mother's touch. Her face was cute and perfect, and much like my mother's face, her eyes were purple as well.
Meanwhile, my father was looking at us from the corner of the room. He was smiling widely. Nothing could stop him from smiling now. His son was a genius, his wife was perfectly healthy and now, he had a new daughter! Everything was going smoothly in his life now, and he hoped it would continue to do so in the future.
[Quest has been re-investigated. Due to certain factors present, fate has been changed for Hanako Uesugi. Quest has been re-issued.]
[Quest: Heal your mother]
Description: Cure your mother from the disease she was currently suffering from.
Rewards: 2x premium gacha due to increased difficulty of quest
Failure: Mother of host does not have a peaceful passing and removal of one skill
[Quest completed, rewards are being issued.]
[2x token for skills] rang out in my mind but I could not care less for anything else at that moment. In my previous life I had no recollection of my parents so I didn't know what was parental love. In this life I, however grew attached to them, and for the first time I truly knew what it was like to almost lose something you needed and wanted in your life.
I promised myself that I would never take anything for granted again. I was so used to my family being with me all the time, that I had forgotten that life is fragile. One mistake and life is gone. I wished my life would be much more peaceful in the future. I don't ever want to experience the feeling of almost losing someone again.

And don't continue reading for now, it doesn't really continue on smoothly from here. Wait like 2 days before continuing this. It's not a cliffhanger so don't be curious and touch the next chapter. Sigh, so many edits to make because of one mother :(
