“It’s a familiar monster that was entrusted to me. It is a very unique monster. I was told that only a trustworthy person would be entrusted with it, so here it is.”
“Uh, what is the owner’s name?”
“……”
Oh, I knew they would ask.
Well, since he said that he was taking care of me, it’s not surprising that he would ask about this.
If they hadn’t asked that, we would have just let it slide, but we had to use the setup we had been thinking about last night.
However, I was a little uncomfortable using that setting.
Because …….
“The person who asked me to take care of this demon was a man named Fujisawa. He is my mentor.”
Fujisawa.
This is, in fact, Houen’s original name.
There was a concern that if we used this world-style name, someone might use that information to find out about my false owner.
I thought there was nothing to worry about, but Houen, just in case, prepared a name that would never turn up even if someone looked up the name.
That is Fujisawa, Houen’s real name.
With this name, it would not come up in any investigation, and if anyone asked any questions, we could just tell them about Houen in his previous life, so it would be relatively easy to deal with the situation.
All that’s left is to add a setting to make it relevant to this world. ……
“He don’t have a place to live. He was a traveling merchant. I think he is still traveling around the world, doing business somewhere.”
“I didn’t know there was such a person. I understand. But is the monster all right?”
“”Oh, it’s fine. Yes, it’s all right. Oh, and you know…”
Suddenly, Houen turned toward me.
He seems to add something to the soldier, but I have a bad feeling.
…… Huh, did I forget something?
I decided on everything important that night, and what to do if something goes wrong.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with this plan. ……
“What’s this girl’s name?”
………… wait.
Wait, you bastard.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!
Hey!
What the hell, Houen, I haven’t made a decision on that yet!
Now you’re telling me you’re deciding on your own!
That’s why you were in such a good mood this morning after being so reluctant yesterday!
I can’t beat him up right now!
I can’t let them think I’m a threat to them now. ……!
Ugh!
You bastard!
With a big smile on his face, Houen gave the soldier the name he had probably decided on last night.
