“I see … are there transfer circles or any transportaion of that sort here?”

“Yes, Demon Lord Famiris‧Raritei used Transfer Magic to reach this island while Daijiro-sama used a magic tool called an airship to come here.”

I asked 417 if there was any way to escape from this island but neither ship nor transfer circle was present on this island.

Daijiro-san actually created an airship in this world … he’s seriously impressive. Isn’t that a vehicle that can only be obtained at the final stages in role-playing games?

“Oh right, 417 is a mouthful so …”

“Only master can set a name. Would you wish to set one?”

“Ehh … ah, since I don’t have any naming sense. 417 … Yoina … no, Shiina then.” (TL: He’s just joining the numbers 417 in Japanese, 4 = Yon or ‘Shi’, 1 = ‘I’chi, 7 = ‘Na’na)

I just read the numbers as they were but,

“It’s basic but it is easy to call so Shiina, yup, it would be Sheena if I match this world’s language. Is it alright?”

“Yes, that’s wonderful, Ichino-sama. I think it is a wonderful name.”

“Understood. My name shall be set as Sheena No.3.”

“Why number 3!?”

“Famiris‧Raritei-sama and Daijiro-sama also set Sheena No.3’s name as Sheena so I appended the number 3 to distinguish between them.”

“Serious … they all named you Sheena? But, just now you said you don’t have a name.”

“That is because the two of them called me Sheena but they did not set my name as it.”

I see, so they just called her that without going through the trouble of setting her name.

Uwa, it’s slightly embarrassing.

But it is kind of strange to hear the name Sheena No.3, as if she is a different person compared to number 1 and 2.

“Erm, Ichino-sama. I have a question, why did everyone call her Sheena?”

“Eh? That’s naturally because 417 is read as Sheena … wait?”

That’s wrong, 417 is only read by Japanese as Sheena.

Americans would definitely not read 417 as Sheena. Only the Japanese language reads 4 as ‘Shi’ … I think.

What does this mean?

I understand the reason why Daijiro, a Japanese person, called her Sheena but why did the Demon Lord, a resident of this world, call her that?

“It is unlikely … to be just a coincidence. Hey Sheena. Could you tell me what you know about the Demon Lord?”
