Seeing the deeply troubled miko, the background began to become flustered.
I'll decide it, no I will, but Miko-sama should decide it herself, and such.
"Eris, it's over."
At that time, Rudeus returned to the park.
He had finished saying goodbye to Cliff, and was feeling slightly sentimental.
However, there's no time to be immersed in sentimentality, a battle is coming up.
I am a robot. He stiffened his face while thinking that he has to move like a sentinel.[5]
Seeing the miko in the park, he tilted his head.
"Ummm... is something wrong?"
"We ended up trying to decide on a name."
"A name..."
Rudeus looked around the park.
The troubled miko, the flustered followers.
The new captain who didn't seem like he could swallow the situation.
Therese who was simply wearing a wry smile.
He immediately understood the situation.
That's certainly troubling, he thought.
I'm sure Eris had no ill intentions, he thought.
"Ah, how about Rudeus-sama decides on a name?"
And then, the miko proposed that idea.
I can't decide myself, but there's no problem if Rudeus does it, she thought.
"Eh? Is it okay if I do it?"
"Yes, of course."
Being told so, Rudeus made a difficult face.
He looked between Eris and the miko.
He didn't want to choose a bad name, but since it was so sudden nothing is coming to mind.
"Then, how about... Nurse?"
"Nurse, huh? That's a good name! From today onwards, your name is now Nurse!"
The miko bent down and pet the silver owl at her feet.
Seeing that, Rudeus shouted "Ah!" in a small voice.
"Is something wrong?"
"No, it's nothing."
Rudeus turned his gaze from the miko.
He turned his face away like someone with a guilty conscience.
She tilted her head at that, but the miko was satisfied.
She got to meet the Eris that she looked up to, and decided on a name for the owl. She even decided what she should be doing from tomorrow on.
She thought that today was truly a good day.
"Eris-sama. Thank you so much!"
"I'll come again someday. When I do, I'll come to see you again."
"Yes, please!"
Eris was also satisfied.
She was satisfied just being able to touch the owl.
The background was satisfied, as well.
They felt a bit of dread when Eris drew her sword, but they are satisfied that the miko looks satisfied.
They are looking forward to teaching her in detail on how to train her body from tomorrow on. All of them are.
Only Rudeus was turning away with a face that says "Oh, shit!"
Only Therese noticed that facial expression of Rudeus.
She noticed exactly who he was trying to name.
However, she didn't say it out loud.
She just smiled wryly.
The silver owl Nurse looked at that miko with its head tilted.
Thus, Eris was able to gain another disciple.
From the next day the miko became more and more slim, and the Temple Knights treated her more and more like an idol, but... that's a story for another time.
