「Momo?」
「Momo, please」
I had Diana-chan name Friedrich-kun the giant rat too, but I asked her to go with Momo instead of thigh meat(momoniku).
Calling him thigh meat would be way too pitiful for Friedrich-kun.
「Eeh? Really? Isn’t thigh meat cuter?」
「Kii—」
「Momo. Please, Momo」
Before Friedrich-kun could read the room and say something like, 『Then thigh meat it is』, I cut in and asked again.
「Hmm. Well, fine. Then I’ll call you Momo, okay? Nice to meet you, Momo」
「Kii」
While being vigorously petted by Diana-chan, Friedrich-kun replied with 『Nice to meet you』.
And so, Friedrich-kun’s name was decided as
『Hezrat Hezrat Hezrat Apple Momo Strawberry Momo Lemon Aleari Damocles Ratatoskr Trawistia Furfur Friedrich Weinstein II』.
I do not know why, but it feels like a fierce battle is raging between the Hezrat faction and the fruit faction.
By the way, it is actually possible to summon Friedrich-kun using his full name.
Normally, I summon him with 『Summon: Giant Rat』, but the spell
『Summon: Hezrat Hezrat Hezrat Apple Momo Strawberry Momo Lemon Aleari Damocles Ratatoskr Trawistia Furfur Friedrich Weinstein II』
also works.
…It sounds like a chant that could revive an evil god.
「Oh, also, it’s fine to call him Momo, but if possible, I’d appreciate it if you could call him 『Momo the Giant Rat』 at first」
「At first?」
「Not every time. Just the first time when you call him」
「Huh?」
…Honestly, I really cannot tell anymore.
For example, if someone suddenly says something like 『Aleari-chan, your fur looks great today』, I have no idea what Aleari even is.
That is why I want you to put 『the Giant Rat』 at the beginning of the name.
「So, Momo, or rather, Momo the Giant Rat is fine, but…」
「Yeah?」
「What are you doing, Alec?」
「Me? Ah, this? This is water magic training」
「Yeah, I figured that much, but…」
Right now, I am sitting on a chair with my hands submerged in two cups filled with water on the table, one cup per hand.
At my feet, there is a wooden tub filled with water, and both of my feet are soaking in it.
「Is that the thing where you channel magic power?」
「Exactly. I could not do it at all before, but I have gotten pretty used to it lately. I can even channel magic power in three places now」
「Huh…」
…Hm? Diana-chan’s reaction feels a bit underwhelming.
From my perspective, this took a lot of effort to reach.
…Maybe it just looks really suspicious while training.
「Can I try too?」
「Huh? Um, sure, I guess…」
If it is Diana-chan, who actually has the water magic skill, she could probably do this easily.
Still, I had no real reason to refuse, so I pulled my right hand out of the cup.
「Then wait a bit」
「…Huh?」
I thought she would put her hand into one of the cups, but instead, Diana-chan brought over a chair and sat down on it.
Then she started taking off her shoes.
「Feet?」
「Yeah. Huh? Is that not okay?」
「It is not that it is not okay, but…」
It seems Diana-chan plans to put her feet into the water instead of her hands.
Straight to feet, huh… Well, it is fine, I guess.
As I prepared a towel and started pulling my own feet out of the tub—
「Ah, it is fine. You can stay like that, Alec」
「Huh?」
It seems I am supposed to keep them there.
Since she said that, I left my feet in, and then Diana-chan slid her feet in as well.
「Uh, um…」
「Yeah」
「No, not yeah」
…What is this situation? The two of us have our feet in the same tub. What is this.
「This is… oh?」
「Fufu…」
A strange change came over the water in the tub where I was channeling magic power.
Until now, my magic power had filled the entire tub, but little by little, Diana-chan’s magic power began to encroach on it.
I tried my best to resist, but her territory slowly expanded, and I ended up being completely suppressed by Diana-chan.
「Ngh…」
「Fufufu…」
With a slightly sadistic look, Diana-chan grinned as she pinned down my magic power.
On top of that, she poked my foot with her toes.
What is this… This is kind of embarrassing. My heart is kind of racing…
Wait, no, this is bad.
It finally happened.
I finally got my heart racing because of Diana-chan.
Even though she is still fourteen years old, I got flustered by a fourteen-year-old…!
No, how did this even happen… Hm?
In the middle of all that, I happened to notice Friedrich-kun, the Giant Rat. For some reason, he was looking away with his head lowered.
Could it be… Does this really look like that kind of moment?
Did it feel somewhat inappropriate to him?
Did it look like some kind of strange play?
Is that why Friedrich-kun is deliberately not looking at us…?
While that crossed my mind, Friedrich-kun quietly started putting some distance between us and headed toward the door, careful not to make a sound.
It seems he plans to leave discreetly so as not to interrupt.
What an incredible ability to read the room, Friedrich-kun…
No, that is not it. This is not that kind of thing.
So you do not need to read the room like that, Friedrich-kun…
