Heibon na Watashi wa Tonikaku Hibon

Three days after registering for the contractor, I was coming to the woods where I ran a horse for a day from Wang Du to fulfill my first request.

Request details: Collection of herbs. Request level is D.

The level of request refers to the difficulty of the request, and it is divided between E and S.

This time, Earf was here with us because three of us, Master Ray, Mr. Tonic and Mr. Emu, were absent in the final adjustment for the imminent departure of the Demon King Crusader.

Because Ray forbids me to run the horse alone, I spend a day and a half riding a ride carriage to a village near the woods, from where I walk to the woods.

"... hey, Arf"

"Hmm?"

Turn to Arf, who follows him as he collects the designated herbs.

To be precise, to the Ulu, who has one Wolf to follow with him and two heads on the back of that Wolf.

"Are they all right out of the Beast Fang Forest? Isn't there a territory or something?

"It doesn't matter if these guys have territory."

"also (...) huh (...)?"

"Oh, they're subordinate to you."

"Subordinate?"

"You would have named these guys, wouldn't you? And these guys responded to that. At that moment, these men became subordinate to you."

"Just named it?

"That's what the demons do."

"No... because I don't know that. I put it on with the intention of obeying..."

That's right. I didn't name them because I wanted to follow them.

However, these two are more familiar to me than the other demons (children), and I spent a lot of time with them, so I asked if Emu had a name.

For the first time since I was asked that, I came to the idea of naming them.

Until then, their relationship with me was only a neighbor living in the same realm, and it was only the things that came later, and that were inferior in strength and number to them, that I created their favorite as a mere measure of self-defense, and that liked it and allowed me some more heart, were immersed in my cabin.

Naming, whether it's a person or not, means becoming a family, and no longer being someone else.

But, well, maybe two. I gave it a name.

I put it on.

"... why?

Arf said he had responded.

They responded to my name, so they became subordinate.

That's why I ask.

Why?

Why did you respond?

They would never have been subordinate to me if they hadn't lived up to the name they were given.

"This is what they wanted."

"Huh?"

Arf says as he strokes Wolf's head.

"Subordinate, these people will be able to move for their opponents"

"What do you mean?

"Demons can only move for themselves by nature. Wild creature instincts, or is this also a reason? Either way, no matter how dear these people are to them, they cannot move for them. When you were attacked by demons the last time, these people regretted not being subordinate to you. I was mourning my fangs for you for not wasting my nails. So when I was given a name by you, these guys rejoiced. So much so that you came all the way here to report it to me."

Gagah, and a wu with two heads swirled over my head three times and stopped on my shoulder.

"Nigi......"

Kung, and a sniffled wolf comes over.

"Lapis......"

I laughed when I stroked each of my two, three heads in total.

I don't know what you think there.

I'm not an arf, so I don't understand the demonic language.

Still, if that's what they wanted and accepted, that's fine.

If you want to stay with me, that's fine.

"Again, good to see you again."

I'll get back to you if you say so. I love your reply so much, that's all I need.
