Chapter 434

A strange feeling had washed over him. Despite being yelled at and scolded, it didn't feel bad; it felt as though he had returned to an almost forgotten childhood.

"Did you two have a fight or something? You guys are being so loud."

Perhaps having heard Enon's incessant complaints, the drinkers finally leaned in. Mick, flushed from alcohol, nonchalantly draped an arm over Enon and Yuder, linking arms with both.

"What's going on?"

"Nothing at all."

Upon Yuder's denial, Mick chuckled as if he didn't care, the scent of alcohol heavy on his breath. Kanna, arriving a bit late, also looked flushed as she scrutinized Yuder.

"Really, you didn't fight? I thought Yuder got scolded by the pharmacist."

Though she tried to make her eyes sharp, this was probably the most effortless facial expression Kanna had ever displayed. It seemed pretty clear that she had drunk more than her usual amount.

"Ah, Kanna. You wanted to see the monster, right? Here it is."

Before Yuder could answer, Mick lightly tapped the cage that contained the monster, immediately drawing everyone's attention. Yuder and Enon exchanged a silent signal that seemed to say their conversation should end here.

"We're done with our research, so we were thinking of naming the creature. But we haven't come up with any good ideas yet."

"Can you just name a monster like that?"

"Of course. If you're the first to discover a new monster, anyone can name it. Since the Cavalry, the Duke, and the Western Mage Union didn't give it a name, it's left to us, isn't it?"

"I see. I didn't know that."

"It's understandable. So many new monsters appear every year that it's pointless to get caught up in names. Still, if you want to make it easier for everyone involved, it's better if those who discover the monster name it themselves."

Hellem interjected.

"Would you two mind helping us think of a name while you're here?"

"Hmm..."

Kanna frowned as she looked down at the monster.

Naming it wouldn't be a pleasant task, given that she remembered the havoc this monster had wreaked in the Great Sarain Forest.

"For reference, I suggested the name 'Penpen,' which Grandma thought was too tame."

"Penpen?"

"It's what they call a doll made of bundled straw in the northern regions. Don't you think it looks a bit like it?"

It didn't look like it at all. Kanna seemed to share Yuder's opinion, avoiding eye contact.

"That's nonsense. You can't give a monster such a cutesy name."

"The characters in the Emperor’s and lord Kishiar’s, contain sounds that were chosen intentionally by the previous Emperor to emulate a hero he admired, adhering to the royal naming conventions. However, the Duke of Diarca, knowing this, subtly crossed the line right from the time he named his first child."

Finally, by the time he named Kiolle, the similarity between Kishiar and Kiolle’s names became a topic of gossip and exploded in the public eye.

It might sound like a small, old dispute over the names of children, but there seemed to be a deeper story beneath it. However, Hellem didn't elaborate any further. She simply stared at the little liquor left in her glass and let out a deep sigh.

"Enough of these uninteresting old tales. Drinking makes it all the less enjoyable."

She drained her remaining drink and suggested it was time to truly rest. Mick, who had drunk the most yet still wanted more, was disappointed, but Yuder had no complaints.

"I apologize for coming so late. I should be on my way now."

"You're welcome anytime. But before you go, Yuder, would you call me Grandma just once?"

Although he agreed, Yuder found it a little difficult.

"I apologize. Please consider me as being respectful to the degree of calling you 'Madam Hellem.'"

"I've thought this since I first met you; you're quite stubborn. Now I see why my Lord wanted to keep you by his side."

"..."

Yuder was silent, not knowing how to respond, and Hellem quietly smiled.

"However, I think it would be better if Kanna stays here for the night."

Yuder turned his head and found Kanna, who had become extremely drowsy in her seat. Seeing her nodding off, it was clear that walking back together was out of the question.

"That seems best."

"She can sleep in my room; I'll send her home tomorrow."

"Thank you."

As Hellem took care of Kanna, Mick and Enon bid Yuder farewell.
