Amongst the Colt Company’s many single action revolvers used in the Old West of America, which had a variety of barrel lengths, calibers, and names, the most famous was probably the [Colt Peacemaker].

The [Colt Peacemaker] was too famous, and it created many misunderstandings.

It was generally thought that the origin of the word [Peacemaker] came from the ninth verse of the fifth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament: “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.”.

However, that was a misunderstanding.

The man who created the Colt company, Samuel Colt, had a wife named Elizabeth, and she was deeply religious, so it was misunderstood that the name [Peacemaker] was taken from the bible and given to the gun.

In fact, the person who settled disputes in a bar, the mediator, was called a peacemaker, so the reason it was named Peacemaker was not because it was “the thing that brings about peace to the West”, but more of “the tool to bring an end to conflict”.

When I named the legion PEACEMAKER, I wished that we could be peacemakers, like it was written in the bible. However, of course, at the same time, I didn’t forget that it also had the meaning of “the one who settles dispute”.

With that, the legion name was decided.

What was left were the design for the legion’s flag and the coat of arms, as well as the family name as an Honour Knight.

I had discussed those with Snow and everyone in the guest room in Woodcastle that was provided for us.

In the room were Snow, Chrisse, Meiya, Shia, Lyss, Luna and me.

Shia devoted herself to serving tea in a maid uniform.

The one who lead the discussion was obviously me.

“Well then, first off is the family name, got any ideas?”

“A safe suggestion would be our birthplace, Hoard. How about it?”

Snow answered first.

Lute Hoard, huh?

Doesn’t sound bad.

“But isn’t Hoard the territory of other people? Arbitrarily using their land’s name for our name is not wise, I think.”

“You’re right. Then Hoard is a no-go.”

Upon Lyss pointing that out, I promptly dismissed the “Hoard” suggestion.

[Then how about using my family’s name?]

Chrisse’ family name is “Vlad”.

Lute Vlad, huh?

Doesn’t sound bad either, but that means I’m marrying into her family?

It’s not bad! It’s not bad, but let’s put it aside for now.

Next, raising her hand with great vigour…or rather, she had already stood up, Meiya gave a suggestion while breathing roughly.

“Then, Lute-sama, how about my family name, ‘Dragoon’?”

“Lute Dragoon, huh? Not bad, but that’s……”

Meiya’s face turned red at my gaze.
