 As it turned out, the Great Sage's fears were unfounded .

 The village goblins were surprised to see the baby, but when the mother explained, none of them objected, saying, "Well, we shouldn't throw it away just because it's a ningen.

 Finally, the mother went to the village chief for a decision.

 The chief was a rumpled, aging-looking male goblin.
The chief did not object.

Do you know how to raise a ningen?

 The mother goblin asked the chief.
 The chief said.

It is said that nymphs are nurtured by suckling babies, just like us. I don't know if it's safe for goblins. I don't know how else to feed them.

 I said.

"Milk. Then I'll make you drink my milk.

 And the mother goblin says.

"Nuh-uh-uh. You drink goblin's milk. One of my students was very interested in goblin research, and I remember seeing in the research that he gave me that goblin milk is almost identical to human milk. (If his research is correct, it wouldn't be a problem to drink it.

 My second fear was also confirmed.
 I have some reservations about drinking goblin's milk.
 But I'm in no position to indulge in that luxury. I will thank you for it. The village seems to be in a bad state, so nothing is certain, but the Great Sage was relieved to know that he could live with this for a while.

'More importantly, Ja. Aretha, have you given the boy a name yet?
"Name: ...... ka. I haven't put it on yet.
Then I'll put you on first.
"Yes, naa ...... what will it be?

 The mother goblin's name was Aretha. She began to think of a name.
 of course the Great Sage had a name in a previous life. A fine name for a parent.
 But in her second life she thought she'd give up her old name and live under a new one.

Hey! I've thought of something!

 The little goblin raised his hand.

"What?
Little La! Bean! It's a pretty name, Sho!

 What kind of name is that? And the Great Sage is unusually upset.

"Delarosa ...... is small now, but when she grows up she will be much larger than we are. That name is far too appropriate for a ningen to be called anything else.
Yeah!

 I'm relieved to hear that the goblin is dead. The baby goblin's name is Delarosa.

I just thought of something. How about 'Bellamus'?
"Law. That's a big name. Why did you name her that?

(Vellumus ...... a goblin word meaning "great" or "superior.") Yes, it's a pretty big name, but why do you say that?

When he was alone in the woods he was held by me, the goblin, and now he doesn't cry at all. He's going to be a big shot. To us goblins and ningens, she can do great things.
Well, that's what I hear. She doesn't cry and she looks cool. He is indeed a big shot. I don't know what he will do, but if it's for the sake of our goblins, then so be it.
Yeah.
Then we will name the baby Ningen, Beramus, our new resident. Aretha, you will be responsible for raising him.
Okay.

 Thus, the Great Sage, named Beramus, was raised in a goblin village.
