The next day, I was holed up in the house, not going anywhere.
I am sitting in front of a big desk in my study, which is usually not used much.
By the way, although it's called a study, I don't have any books in this room.
Because in front of me, on the desk in front of me, is the sword of the wise man, which holds all the knowledge of the world.
I touched it softly and thoughtfully.
Knock knock.
"Come in.
"Excuse me.
Entering the room with a reverent voice was the maid Amelia.
She has worked in the house since I was a child and is now a beautiful woman in the midst of her prime.
She brought a cup of tea on the table.
She placed it in the perfect place, out of my way, but just a reach away.
This is where the skilled maids do their fine work, and the person being served is just happy and comfortable.
Delicious. Thank you for everything.
I'm sorry.
As she speaks, Amelia stares at me and does not seem to be leaving the room.
What's the matter with you?
Unusually, Alec has a lot on his mind. Master Alec has always been quick to find solutions and knowledge.
Most people would say, "It's just an image," but Amelia, who has been watching me since I was a child, assured me unequivocally, "Yes, I've already drawn out the knowledge, and now I'm trying to figure out which one is best.
'Yes, I've already pulled out the knowledge, and now I'm trying to figure out which one is best for you.
"Is it so difficult?
Yeah. Actually, I think I'm going to name it after Sun.
"Wasn't it said that after being born as a child of Alec and Angel?
"I was going to, but since you said you didn't want me to be in a hurry--no. You said you didn't want to rush it, so I'm going to do it. So...) I'm giving it a name now.
"I see.
I was chasing names and meanings and the achievements of the great men in history who were named after them. Which name would give them the happiest life.
This has been a surprisingly hard job.
It's like watching the life of a person from the past through the sword of the wise men in a play.
Although it is a digest, it is still an enormous amount of life, and the fact that there are so many of them that I have listed as candidates adds to that.
Thank you for your hard work, please don't take it easy.
Thank you. Amelia, too.
I'm sorry.
Amelia said, bowed and walked out of the study.
Moments later, Sun's cheers could be heard from outside the room.
'Maybe I should have kept it to myself.
I chuckled.
I guess Amelia was just trying to be nice and tell San.
Maybe she would have liked it more if I had surprised her with a name, I kind of regretted it.
Maybe if we'd gone to .......
As the idea of a surprise came to mind, I asked the wise man's sword again if there was anything I could do.
.
The next day, again, my study.
When everything was ready, I asked Amelia to go get San.
Amelia, who had called me over, was also watching the situation with a smile, although she was standing in the corner like a maid.
It's completely understandable and expected.
Well, it's all right. Come on.
I'm actually thinking of giving San a name. Well, it's something I'm going to get to do, so it's kind of sooner rather than later.
"Thanks, Dad!
Then put your blood stamp here.
Then he put the parchment on the desk and held it out in front of Sun.
"What's this?
"A magical artifact. Here is the name I gave you, stamped in blood.
I get it!
Excitedly, San slit her thumb with my ornamented knife and stamped her blood on the designated spot on the parchment.
A magic light enveloped San as the trick went off.
Ah, ......
Sun's excited face is overwritten by a huff of excitement.
This is my name: ......
Yeah, that just popped into my head.
"Thanks, Dad!
Sun walked around the desk and clung to my neck.
I'll keep the name. I'm going to keep the name from today--
"Wait.
As she was about to say her new name, she reached out and gently placed her index finger on Sun's lips.
In a classic gesture, Sun gulped down what she was about to say.
"Hey, what is it, Daddy?
Don't tell anyone your name, okay?
"Why? It's your name.
That's just my name.
"Mana?
Sun, who was craning her neck and looking like she was being pinched by a fox, had the same look on her face.
Amelia, who was watching from the corner of the room, has the same look on her face.
"Yeah, my real name. Or should I say, a name etched into my soul. The orders of those who know it will never be disobeyed and will be in absolute obedience, but instead will be blessed with a life that is true to the meaning of mana.
I don't know the former Sun's real name, but I guess she was patient or something.
I overruled it.
I wished Sun a life of nothing but happiness.
Her true name was overridden.
Before and after my reincarnation.
I wished her only happiness.
Such a thing, Dear Alec, is amazing ......
Amelia, who was in the corner of the room, was marveling.
I thought the same was true for Sun.
Absolute Obedience to Daddy: ......
For some reason, he mumbled it and blushed "poof".
