(......... hmm?... Huh?)
It wasn't a dog, it wasn't a cat, it wasn't a horse, it wasn't a rabbit or a bird that was in front of me.
It was... people in front of me.
"Huh?... your father?
(Is my eye crazy? Huh? Can only people see you because you're blind? Huh? Should I get a doctor?)
"Father... is my eye crazy?... it's not an animal, it looks like a person..."
"Ha ha! It's not like Rosé's eyes are crazy. It's the Beast Man who's here.
"... the Beast Man?
If you say so and take a good look, the ears of the beast do move piccolorly. Maybe there's a tail behind it.
"This kid was in an orphanage on our territory. There's an illegal dark auction. They sold it there and protected it here.
"... the darkness, the auction, what happened?
"You don't have to worry about that dark auction because it's crushed. But it looks like she was pretty violent there, and she can't speak up.
"Oh, shit... horrible..."
"They say it's mental that's affecting you, Rose, so keep him close. You're my brother because you're under one of the roses! I'm a werewolf beast, and I can beast you, so when we get along, why don't you do me a favor?
"Huh? Really? We'll get along! I want you to feel better, and I want to hear your voice!
"That's right, Rose. Why don't you give this kid a name?
"... name..., can I give it to you?
"It's like I wasn't even given a proper name in the orphanage. Because as soon as I protected him from the dark auction, I took it away."
"You are. All right! I don't know what to do..."
"I'm worried about your name."
"...!!! It's decided! Elpis... make it Elpis!
"" El?
My parents speak up at the same time. Boulder, is a friendly couple.
"Elpis means hope. I want you to speak up, and there are sweet people in the world! Because I want you to find hope."
(Because I want you to have that hope. Sure it was like Greek or something? I'm a little suspicious because things in my previous life are getting more and more obscure. Damn! That's good)
"Well... hopefully. What language is that? I've never heard that before."
"Right. That's a good name, but what language is it really?
"Uh... uh... ho, give me the book, huh? When I read the book. You did see it."
"Right or right. Rosé knows everything."
"Rosé is a genius!
"hahaha..."
I managed to mislead him, but now he's going in a different direction, so I went in to stop him.
"Well, can I take Elle more than that? I want to show you the mansion, and I want to show you the beautiful garden."
"Right. Take him with you.
"Make sure you get back to dinner. It's Rose's birthday, and the chefs know it."
"Yes! Allen, El, let's go"
I grabbed two hands and left the room.
"I need to introduce myself first, right? I'm Roselia. Everyone calls me Rosé. You're gonna call me Elle, remember?
I asked him so he could listen while I looked at Elle's face, and he probably figured it out because he rocked Cocun and his neck up and down.
"It's my exclusive butler over here, Allen. El, it's my pleasure to meet you."
I held Elle's hand and smiled.
