The name of the giant rat I summoned was――
『Hezrat Momo Trawistia Friedrich Weinstein II』
――and that is how it was decided.
We ended up using every name that everyone suggested.
At first, I tried asking the giant rat himself, 『Which one do you like?』 but because he was good at reading the room, he got stuck. Precisely because he could read the room, he became very troubled.
So in the end, we mixed all the names together.
The so-called Nana Yamada method.
「Alright, good work, Friedrich-kun」
「Good work, Trawistia」
「Hmm. Good work, Momo」
「Thank you for your efforts, Hezrat」
「kii」
Everyone is calling him by the name they personally chose…….
「Then――『Dismissal: Giant Rat』」
「kii」
And just like that, Friedrich-kun was sent back to where he came from.
I do not know where that is, but for now, I sent him back.
「Hmm. Now that Momo has gone home, I suppose I shall head back as well」
「Ah, I see. Thank you for everything again. See you」
「Hmm, thanks for your hard work」
「Thanks for your hard work」
With that, Yggdrasil-san and I exchanged our usual high five and farewell.
Then, after exchanging 『Thanks for your hard work』『Thanks for your hard work』 with Nana-san and Mikoto-san as well, Yggdrasil-san faded away as she left.
「Alright then, shall we head back to the village too?」
「Yes, let us. After this, is it that? Introducing Mikoto-sama?」
「Hm? Yeah, that is right」
We got permission to introduce her as Yggdrasil-san’s friend, so I would like to go around and introduce her to the villagers properly.
……Or so I was thinking.
「Um, Mikoto-san」
「Hm?」
「Is it possible for you to change your clothes?」
「Clothes?」
The shrine maiden outfit Mikoto-san is wearing looks very out of place in this world.
If possible, I would like her to change into something that blends in more with the surroundings.
Something more appropriate for the situation.
「Come to think of it, Master tried to make me take my clothes off too」
「That wording is very misleading, Nana-san…… For now, Mikoto-san, I would appreciate it if you could wear something a little more approachable」
I want Mikoto-san to get along with the villagers too.
I was hoping she could meet them halfway, starting with that.
「Clothes, huh…… I do not mind changing, but……」
「But?」
「I do not have any clothes to change into」
「I see」
I vaguely remembered the saying about having no clothes to wear when going out to buy clothes.
「Normally, that would be easy enough. If I had divine power, changing my outfit in an instant would be simple, but……」
「Divine power? Ah, now that you mention it, you did say something about that when you were first summoned」
It got interrupted by the walking mushroom and never came up again, but I do remember her starting to say something like that.
「Yeah…… for a god to do god like things, divine power is necessary」
「God like things…… Um, I do not really understand what this divine power is」
「If I put it in terms of this world, it is similar to magic power. You use magic power to cast spells and use skills, right? I use divine power to cause miracles」
「I see. ……So does that mean you do not have any divine power?」
「It is not that I have none at all. There is a tiny amount stored in my body. I think it will probably increase as I level up, but……」
So that is how it works. I see.
Then if Mikoto-san’s level goes up, will she eventually be able to properly use 『……Let there be light』?
That is probably something that uses divine power too.
「That is why, right now, I do not think I can even perform the miracle of preparing new clothes……」
「The miracle of preparing new clothes…… That sounds surprisingly low cost……」
「Right now, I am such a useless goddess that I cannot even perform that kind of cheap miracle……」
「Ah, no, that is not what I meant……」
I accidentally said something unnecessary. Mikoto-san looks a little dejected.
「……Ah, would it be fine if you went back?」
「Hm?」
「What about returning to heaven for now? You could change clothes there, then when I summon you again, you would be wearing the new outfit」
「Hmm…… Yeah, I would like to try that once. Would you do that for me?」
「Of course. Then――『Dismissal: Mikoto』」
I chanted the spell and sent Mikoto-san back to heaven.
「So………… is it already fine? Hardly any time has passed, but is it okay to summon her again?」
「There should be no problem. It was the same earlier. Time seems to be completely flexible」
Completely flexible, huh.
「……If I gave Mikoto-san a cup of instant noodles with hot water and kept repeating dismissal and summoning, would she bring back perfectly cooked noodles in an instant?」
「Master really does think about trivial and questionable things……」
As an experiment with time passing, that was the first thing that came to mind.
「Well, whatever. Then――『Summon: Mikoto』」
When I chanted the spell, Mikoto-san popped out of the ground――
「――My name is Mikoto. By contract, I have manifested. Do you require my power?」
「Ah, um…… yes, thank you for coming」
「Hmm. Nice to see you」
「……Um, was that too fast?」
The Mikoto-san who had been resummoned was wearing the same shrine maiden outfit as before she was dismissed.
What happened? Was it too soon?
Did she not have time to choose clothes or change?
At least I am glad I did not summon her in the middle of changing. Yes, that is a relief.
「No, I did change. I properly changed into clothes that are common around here, but……」
「Huh? Really?」
「It seems changes made in heaven are not reflected on Summoned Beast Mikoto」
「Summoned Beast Mikoto……」
It is a straightforward name, at least.
「So, if I want to change clothes, I have to do it here. If I change now, I will probably appear in the same outfit from the next time onward」
「I see…… Then if we prepare clothes for you here, that should be fine, right?」
「Yeah, probably」
「Alright, understood. Then we will prepare something here」
「I am sorry to trouble you」
「Not at all」
Hmm.
So that means Heavenly Goddess Mikoto and Summoned Beast Mikoto are not linked, I guess?
Then that probably means making cup noodles instantly is impossible too.
Or maybe the opposite.
For example, if I had her hold ice and then dismissed her, and summoned her again days later, would the ice still be frozen?
I wonder how that works. I am kind of curious.
「Oh, and there is a message from Deis」
「From Deis-san? What is it?」
「She says 『Ratatoskr』」
「Rata…… what?」
「Deis proposes Ratatoskr as part of the name for Trawistia, the Giant Rat」
「I see……」
I guess I should add it, then.
Alright, then Friedrich-kun’s full name will be――
『Hezrat Momo Ratatoskr Trawistia Friedrich Weinstein II』
――let us go with that.
I will have to tell Friedrich-kun later.
Still, Friedrich-kun’s name has gotten quite long.
Somehow, I get the feeling it will keep getting longer and longer from here on.
