Chapter 504: I Feel Like My Happiness is Growing Greater (1/2)

Sieg-san's warning story to Rainbow Dragon has finally ended. I wonder how much of what Sieg-san said could be understood by the baby Rainbow Dragon though.

But considering that the Rainbow Dragon followed Sieg-san's instructions and generated a Rainbow Diamond when I asked Alice to examine it, and considering the fact that she was nodding her head at key points in Sieg-san's story, she might actually be pretty smart.

However, it seems like she was still a baby. After listening to Sieg-san's story, it seems like she has felt sleepy, climbing on the sitting Sieg-san's lap after her story, and curling up, she fell asleep.

As I was being soothed by her cute gesture, I noticed that Lilia-san and Luna-san had disappeared before I knew it. It seems that they were being mindful and left Sieg-san and I alone.

[……Sieg-san, are you feeling okay? I'm sorry, it ended up in quite the commotion……]

[No, please don't apologize. It was thanks to Kaito-san that I was able to meet this child…… I don't feel like I can thank you enough for it. But still, allow me to express my gratitude…… Thank you.]

After telling me this with her usual gentle expression, Sieg-san added, ”I was surprised by the white gold coin though”, with a wry smile on her face, and I smiled along with her..

After handing over the fruits I brought with me, Sieg-san sat down on the sofa and I sat down next to her.

……It's so quiet. There were no servants in the common room, probably because Lilia-san and the others had taken care of having them leave the premises. It was just Sieg-san and I. I wonder if that's why? Sitting side by side with Sieg-san tonight, I felt ticklish…… and yet, I felt relieved and strangely calm.

[……Speaking of which, have you decided on a name for the child?]

[……No. Actually, in regards to that, I have a favor I'd like to ask Kaito-san.]

[A favor?]

[Yes…… Will you decide on a name for this child, Kaito-san?]

[Ehh? M- Me?]

Those words were honestly something I didn't expect. It was Sieg-san's long-cherished dream to have a pet, so I thought she would name her pet herself…… so I didn't think she would ask me to name her pet here.

My naming sense…… I wonder how good it is? Bell's name came from Alice, and Lynn's name came from Mary-san. I've never named a pet before…… and frankly speaking, I don't have a shred of confidence in my naming sense.

I- Is it possible for me to gently turn her request down?

[……It's thanks to Kaito-san that I was able to meet this child. Ummm, t- this might be annoying but…… I think of her as ”our child”…… That's why, ummm, I'd like to ask you to name her, Kaito-san.]

[………………]

[……Is it no good?]

[No! P- Please wait a moment. I'm still thinking about it.]

I can't refuse!? Receiving a request with such a murderously cute expression, combined with her blushing red cheeks and slightly downcast look, there was no way I could say no.

A cute girl like Sieg-san is asking a request filled with her love like this…… If I don't live up to her request, then no way I can call myself a man!

Think, strain my mind…… All the knowledge that exists in my head, I need you on my side for now……

[……Ah, come to think of it, is that Rainbow Dragon a boy or a girl?]

[She's female…… a girl.]

[I see, alright. P- Please leave it to me.]

A name, a name, a girl's name…… Ugghhhh, this is difficult. A name that will live up to Sieg-san's expectations…… Show me the lightbulb, my head!

……This child is a Rainbow Dragon. Rainbow…… Rain? No, it's too cheesy of a name, and I feel like it would bring rain instead of rainbows in our lives instead……

Hmmm. From what I see, her wings may be rainbow-colored, but this child looks like the aurora. She's got a body as black as the night sky and a mane like emerald…… I'll have to think along those lines.

Aurora borealis…… Aurora…… Speaking of which, I think I've seen it being featured on a TV show back then. What was it again? If I remember correctly, didn't they talk about the origins of auroras? If I remember correctly, they also featured what they call the aurora in different countries. Remember…… Squeeze that memory out!
