V6C116 (2/2)

I can’t just carelessly name her.

” … Ah, I’ll definitely struggle when I become a parent … Haru, could you please think of a name in my stead?”

“I’ll obey if it is master’s order.”

” … Ah, Haru if you say that it means you don’t want to right?”

I can’t really say that we’ve been together for a long time but even so, I still believe that I understand Haru.

I won’t be as mean as to order Haru to do so.

Haru nodded to my question.

“Naming a person is a task that requires responsibility. It is something that would affect a person’s whole life. It can’t be done with half-hearted resolution.”

“That’s right. Yup, that’s why I’m wondering if it would be alright for me to decide.”

“If Ichino-sama can’t decide then who can?”

Said Carol.

“Our master is Ichino-sama. It is the same for this person too. Then, Ichino-sama should be the person who decides her name.”

I see, I guess that’s true.

I was running away.

I was trying to escape from naming her, escape from my responsibility.

I’ll have to thank Haru and Carol for making me realize that.

All right, I’ll think about it seriously.

In the end, I thought for almost 20 minutes.

“Since she’s a homunculus so Homu?”

In the end, I went with the name I decided using my intuition.

Intuition is important too.

“Master, I request for an immediate change to my designation.”

“Master, that name is a bit …”

“Ichino-sama, please think about it a little more.”

… I’d like them to understand that this was the result of thinking.

In the end, after a discussion with the four of them including Homu (temp) for three hours,

“Once again, Pionia. Nice to meet you.”

I decided to name the girl Pionia.

It was taken from the word ‘Pioneer’.

At the same time.

( … Everyone is … taking so long.)

Malina was sitting on top of the bed alone, faithfully following the order to waiting in the room.

Even though she was supposed to be replaced after an hour, three hours had already passed.

(I want … to go to the toilet.)

It was thirty minutes after that before Carol realized and returned.

In the end, she endured without leaking anything.
