113 Lesson 12: Whats the name of that city? (2/2)

”... what's that name?

”- Magic City” Anisphere ”

............... I hold my fingers between my eyebrows to relieve the headache. Are you deaf? Yeah. Maybe, I'm sure it is.

”Sorry, Uffi. Would you say that again?

”So, the magic city of Anisphere, is. I thought I'd use Annis' name.”

”Why!?”

”Isn't it common for you to name a great man after him? I thought there was no other name for a magic city than Anisphere.”

What, it's going to be my name!? I know I'm going to say it, but my name is going to be the name of the city!? I'm so embarrassed!?

”It should also be noted that Parliament unanimously voted in favour. If you want to name another name, please bring a vote that goes beyond that positive vote.”

”That means you don't have a real veto right!?”

”That's the only name we think you deserve in this city, Anis.”

Yufi ran out of words with a cloudless smile. Ugh, yeah, that's why my name becomes the name of the city...

”I think it's good! This city deserves a name!

”Vote in favor of me, too, while you cross the line”

”Then so am I.”

Charne, Priscilla and Gakkun even betrayed me. Wow, this is definitely not the guy I won't cover no matter how I scratch!?

I accidentally bite my teeth and roar. Shame comes up, but that's why I can't help it......!

”... ha, already. You weren't gonna let me say anything against it anyway, were you?

”Yes.”

”Don't say it with a good smile.... For once, I'll ask Uncle Drags and Mrs. Arianna too, are you sure you want my name or something?

”Rather, if we can bear the name of His Royal Highness the King, there is no more honor.”

”Yeah, you're very welcome. Magic City Anisphere, Isn't It a Good Name”

I can't help it if my lord tells me so too. I dropped my shoulders disappointingly and hid my reddened face so I was at my best.

It was night.

I was sitting on that rooftop of the city hall, looking out at the sky. The name of the city has been confirmed, so it has been communicated to the workers and knights, and it has become a little feast.

Lights are on and everyone cheerfully enjoys drinking and eating. I saw a gag in the distance. And Navre, who is sighing beside it.

Smoke rises from the flames of the lights. I felt signs behind my back as I watched the smoke rising into the sky shaken by every night breeze.

”Next door, excuse me.”

”Yufi, what is Her Majesty doing here?”

”That's the dialogue.”

Uffi will also sit on the roof, which would clearly be an ill-disciplined act. If you're even a loud nobleman, I can't help it! That could have pissed me off.

”From here, the city looks good”

”... but it's still incomplete. I'm sure it'll be a good city. Anyway, I gave you your name.”

”I wanted you to stop because I'm ashamed.”

I smile satisfied and say it. I smile bitterly without thinking of Yufi. The shame is mostly soothing, but it never disappears and smokes in my chest.

Magic City Anisphere. I don't feel it when I whisper. Maybe that's because the construction of this city is still halfway down the road.

”... I wonder what view extends from here and what it looks like”

”Looking forward to it?

- It's not gonna be fun.

The fact that my name will be left behind is proof that I have lived here.

More than a decade has passed since he was reincarnated and regained his memory of his previous life. Until a few years ago I was nothing but trouble. It was just something that made this world noisy.

But maybe this is how I can unload my roots on this land. If you say that the symbol is a city that has been given my name… I think maybe it's really something to be proud of from the bottom of my heart.

It just seemed like it would take a little longer to take that right away.

”Looking forward to it, Anis”

”... yeah”

Stay alongside Uffi and admire the unfinished city. The stars shine beautifully in the sky.

Yufi's hand and mine, which have grown gently, grip each other. We just kept looking up at the starry sky as we heard the people's pleasant noise.

”- … the report will be more than”

”Thank you for your hard work. … then we will follow up with the next assignment”

There's darkness. A place where no one steps in deep darkness. Only human shadows can step in.

The shadows whisper at each other, quietly groaning. Shiru, like a snake crawling around in a shiru.

”You can't keep looking at things like this. Whatever you do, you must fulfill your grief.”

”... So you seriously think you're going to execute the example plan?

”Whatever.”

Shadows let Eagle Deep snort. Glittered and sharpened eyes in the shadows stare at something. Burning a deep passion in the back of his eyes like a cloud.

”- Anisphere Wynn Palettia. If you shoot her, we have no future.”

The shadow is not yet illuminated by the day. It disappeared deeper, into darker darkness.
