The next morning, I eat breakfast before logging into the game. First I decided to head to the Beast Demon Guild.

The reason was to get Darley's equipment that I forgot to do last night and equip him. I ask the shopkeeper who helped me at the Liquor to help me put on the equipment.

Yup. That's cool. As I'm about to leave the guild with my satisfaction, I'm approached by Nephi-san.

'Congratulations on the completion of your shop.

It's probably too early to tell... but thanks anyway.

As usual, Aura's eyes glowed as she caught Lily and the others. Is it my imagination that Lily and the others' eyes are dead?

Tact-kun, you opened a store!　Let's go now!

The interior is just finished. We can't open the store right away.

Um... too bad.

'That will happen. And if we're going to open a store, we'll have to start a name and a clan.

Hmm? What's that? I've never heard of it.

'I know the name of the shop, but what's the clan?'

There's a word I don't know, so I ask her and Aura tells me.

'You don't know, Tact-kun... come to think of it, I've never explained it to you. A clan is a group of people. Would it be easier to understand if I said the name of the organization?　We're a guild of many different clans.

When I asked for details, I heard that this clan is like the name of a party. It's like a team name in real life.

Even a solo player like me can name a clan, with a maximum of 30 players per clan. That's the Legion's limit.

Apparently if 10 clans work together, they become a guild. By the way, this is the number of players and not the summoned beasts.

''Does that mean we have to name our own gathering?''

That's the idea. If you want to open a store, you'll have to organize a clan. You can't run a store without forming a clan. You can't run a store all by yourself.

I'm sure you're right. I mean, you can hire people or something. Ah, I guess I hire Hephaistos too.

Aura-san says that there are guilds that are like staffing agencies. If you have the money, you can also be a slave...the clouds have suddenly turned suspicious, so let's get back to the subject at hand.

''Are there any other advantages or disadvantages?

The disadvantage is that you can take clan quests in the guild. The only disadvantage is that if you don't have a good set of rules, there will be conflicts. There's a lot of disputes over the distribution of items and money.

Yeah, I don't like that. But I'm a solo guy, so that's not a problem.

'If you decide to name your clan here, we'll approve it for you. I'll also register each guild, what do you want to do?

How reckless of you, Nephi. I'll ask Lily and the others for help, but the answer is to leave it to me. It's all too predictable.

The name of our organization... I close my eyes and think. I think back to my summonses.

Lily, Aeon, Setia, Love Fire, Grey, Toratetsu, Konoha, Chess, Gale, Byakuya, Hiyori, Yuu Fang, Black Iron, Liquor, Sabik, Locomoco, Aranea, Airy, and Darley.

Every summoner is very important to me. That's when it hit me.

'How about... leaping...?'

Leeping is German for important person. It's also a resolution. It means to take care of everyone, and to take care of the people who are going to be coming up.

"Oh~

'Leapling... it sounds lovely.

'Yes. I think it's a wonderful name that shows Takt-sama's kindness.

I think it's lovely.

Lily and the others agree.

'Looks like it's a done deal,'

Yes!

Now, here was the birth of Clan "Leapling".

But it looks like this isn't the end yet.

''Sis, we also need an emblem for your application.

'Oh, right. Can I say that the emblem is the banner of that organization?　I know it's a pain in the ass, but could you make it for me?

Uh, okay...

I'm starting to feel like making a flag here... or putting together a football team.

I'll rent a room and think about it. Well, let's see. There are many different types of emblems. Some of them are the usual rectangular flags, others use swords or shields as weapons, and so on.

When I asked Lily and the others which one they preferred, they unanimously agreed on the shield. I'm sure each of them will have their own reasons, but it's wild to ask them why.

I've put my own determination into the clan name. That's why Lilly and the others want to put their determination into the emblem. Normally, they'd leave it up to me to give their opinions.

Now, I'm going to come up with a design for the shield emblem. However, it's pretty easy to decide. First of all, I'll draw two dragons representing Lily and Ion on both sides of the shield emblem. Their colors are yellow and blue, respectively. They are the main colors of Lily and Ion.

And next, I draw a staff and a sword representing Setia and love fire to cross and fit behind the shield.

That's a good response to seeing it all together. The rest of the time, I'll draw 30 stars around the shield, the 29 that subtracted me to the Legion's upper limit, plus Hephaistos, evenly around the shield. That's it.

Well, I heard that this clan name and emblem can be changed by the guild at any time, so that should be enough for today.

All of us thought it was good work, and I showed it to Nefi-san and Aura-san.

'It represents Tact-san and the others beautifully. I think it's a very nice emblem.

Is this shield Mr. Tact?

Aura is not afraid to ask Lily and the others what I didn't ask.

「「「「 It's a secret: 」」」」

The four of them keep it a secret with their voices. But Aura-san doesn't give up.

''Yes~. It's good. If you don't tell us, we're going to catch you again~

Aura-san, you're a complete villain. Hearing that, Lily and the others quickly hug me. Hey, hey, hey.

Oh dear. If you're protected by a shield like that, you can't touch it~

'Hmm. Right. Sis.

f*ck! What is this shame play? Aura, you said that just to see this!
