Chapter 125: The Daughters Name

Bea, you did great. The baby is adorable..I wont approve of someone weaker than me taking my girl in marriage.

Fufu, say what you like but its a bit too early to think about that.

I recovered from anemia and was now talking with Bea, as the baby slept next to her.

This child is my daughter

Shes so little.

She is. But its normal for babies to be this little.

(Shes bigger than Toto! Shes my younger sister, but shes bigger that Toto!)

Toto was a bit troubled by this fact but she, nonetheless, didnt separate from her younger sister for she was too lovely.

It appears that she was completely charmed by the baby.

However, Im happy that the delivery ended safely. Everyone was worried, so Ill have to go thank them.

Thats right. Besides, you have to think of a name too.

(Name! What name will you give her!?)

A name, huh?

Can I choose it?

Bea, can I choose the name? Did you also have something in mind?

Eh! Will-will you listen to my opinion too!?

Why are you even surprised? Thats only natural, isnt it?..Is it perhaps different in this world?

Yes, only men are allowed to pick the name for their children. I chose the name for Toto-chan, but this girl is the Dukes Households eldest daughter

I see, in this worldthis is customary among nobles.

Im a stranger so I dont really mind. Shall we think about it together?

Yes! I want to give her a wonderful name.

(Toto too! Toto will think about it too!)

I spent a wonderful happy time with my newly increased family.

Grandson-in-law-dono, I heard your talk just now. What a wonderful idea to choose the name together with everyone! I shall cooperate as well.

Son-in-law-donothinks a lot about his family. I shall cooperate too.

The ones who opened the door and entered the room were the Frontier Count and mother-in-law Lamia, both their faces covered in smiles.

Cooperate? Choose together with everyone?

Who talked about that?

We looked at them blankly, but those two didnt mind it.

I heard from the maids that, even though it is natural for the father to choose the nameyou want to choose it together with everyone.

I, as well, was deeply moved by this, father. Bea has a wonderful husband.

I cant believe I will be present when choosing the name for my great-grandchild.

I, as well, have become a grandmaGrandma.

Both of them had distant looks in their eyes, in a different way, that is. I couldnt think of any plan to deal with these two.

What the hell did the maids unit tell them..?

Mother-in-law, how about calling my daughter Lamia-sama?

That is wonderful, Zest-sama.

For the time being, reviving my mother-in-law was my top priority.

It seems that Bea supported me on this so she followed along with my plan.

Lamia-sama?..Lets choose this then.

The light returned in my mother-in-laws eyes.

I can check the situation this way..For now, Ill leave the Count alone.

Hes still immersed in something and has no reaction at all.

Well, how about we start now to properly consult about the name!

Before Bea and I could complain about why things have turned this way, the Frontier Count came back to life.

Leave it to me, I have about 108 suggestions!!

I cant lose this either! When we chose Beas name.we consulted for three days and three nights, so much that Sonia begged us to let him go to sleep!

And so, the very enjoyable family council for choosing the name of my daughter has started.

As I said, we must choose a name that is related to Bea.

No, we must choose a legendary flowers name for my granddaughter.

Two hours have passed since weve started.

The intensity of the fight between the Count and my mother-in-law continued to increase.

We were at the stage of choosing a range first, before getting to the actual name.

Be-BeaWill this ever get settled?

I dont know..Im starting to feel a bit scared too.

(Dad, Im sleepy.)

Toto crawled into the bed next to the baby and fell asleep immediately.

I bet Bea is tired tooShes rubbing her eyes.

It appears that itll take some time for this to be settled. You should rest as well, Bea.

Ill do just that. Please take care of this.

I prepared a futon1for her, then returned to the battlefield.

Dear me.

Then, well just go with a flowers name.

Yes, this is splendid.

Thanks godtruly..

They finally chose the name range, and that was the name of an ancient and legendary flower.

In short, one of the flower names that the former Japanese stranger left behind.

This way, I can participate as well and I think its a great idea.

I have no complaintsI really dont, but this fight is lasting way too long.

Then, lets propose some names. Japanese style names, right?

Hahaha, you mean western style name, right?

Another two hours fight started for choosing either a Japanese style name or a western style one.

It seems that I cant go to sleep for another long while.

As I thought, a western style name is better.

Youre right, we must choose a western style name.

Master, please stay strong. They finally chose something.

Suu, I cant do this anymore.

In order force my eyes open, I kept on pinching my legs; but this was starting to be insufficient.

I lightly stabbed myself with a sword, then used healing magic as I tried to endure this long fight.

Ive been through a lot these past hours so I really wanted to sleep..

Well now, its finally the time weve all been waiting for. Lets propose the names.

Hohoho, you shall be astonished by the amount of proposals I have in mind.

How comes these two are so energetic?

I corrected my posture backed up only by willpower.

However, this was the moment when I remembered something.

A very essential thing..

The door opened violently with a bang.

We all looked at it simultaneously and saw my master standing in the door.

Bea! Is Bea all right!!??

It was the moment when our family council increased by one member.

Shes adorable. This girl will become a beautiful woman similar to Bea.

Yes.

Right? It makes me remember when I gave birth to Bea.

Yes.

Hoho, youll have a lot of hardships in future. You must get rid of all bad insects.

Yes.

I have almost no memories of this moment.

According to Suu, at that time I was a living thing which could only muster a Yesat fixed intervals.

My memories returned right after that moment.

That was when the door opened again with a huge noise.

Ive kept you waiting! I have brought the sister, the holy woman-dono!

Holy womanI am nothing but an equally loved child of God. As the trees dont compare their sizes, as the winds dont compete with their strength. We are all like the continuous sound of rainfall. And that is the will of God!

AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH

Wh-wh-wh-whats wrong, grandson-in-law-dono?

Son-in-law-dono? Get a hold of yourself.

E-eh? Whats wrong, your excellency?

Master, dont do anything rash!

Wh-what happened? Zest-sama!? Whats going on!?

Waaah.Waaaaaah

(Mom, Mom! My little sister is crying!!)

My spasm continued for a while.

I could no longerendure this situation.
