After the battle with the Killerbees, Hanenashi saw me off to the outskirts of their territory.
Hanenashi was looking at me with her large eyes.
“No, well, I guess I just moved, you know.”
“I wish I could become strong like all of you too.”
“Then why don’t you come with Piyo and the others?”
At those words, everyone looked at Piyo all at once.
“Huh? C-can I come along too?”
Philiana grabbed Nina’s shoulder, who looked like she had something to say.
“But is it okay to leave your companions? Won’t it be a problem if you suddenly disappear?”
Sharin, who was about to move forward, turned back and asked.
“It’s okay about that. It doesn’t matter if I’m not here anyway.”
“Then it’s decided! But somehow I don’t like the name Hanenashi, Piyo.”
As Piyo said, her name came from the fact that her wings were short from birth. It was like a bit of an insult.
“You can call me whatever you like. We look alike and there are many of us, so our names are arbitrary.”
“Then… hmm, what do you think, Hiro?”
I thought Piyo would come up with it herself, but since I was asked, I had no choice.
“Let me see… How about Pauline?”
“What is that?”
Ignoring Nina’s words, Hanenashi was delighted with her new name.
“Hehehe, I received a new name. Everyone, please treat me well.”
“Yes, nice to meet you, Pauline.”
“Don’t slow us down, okay?”
“You don’t have any feet to slow down.”
Nina was angry at Sharin’s nitpicking. Well, as for me, having more companions makes me feel stronger, so I’m happy.
While saying this and that, the three introduced their new companion to each other.
