　What kind of name would you like?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I think about it as I look at the now grown-up messenger beast.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm not proud of it, but I can't say I have a good sense of naming.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I would like to give it at least a reasonable name.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I think that a book like Father Paul's dictionary of names (presumably) would be of great help.

　An animal with a body like a horse with horns.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's a pretty good description of what my beast of burden would look like.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So the name that comes to mind is unicorn?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I think unicorns have one horn, straight and long, as I recall.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This one has two horns, and they are not straight, so I don't think it is very unicorn-like.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The unicorn was a unicorn, but I think the bicorn was called a bicorn or something like that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I try to come up with a twisted name, but not much comes to mind.

　Then, I imagine an association game.

　Vicorn......Vai......Vai......Viking.......

　Va......Va......Va.......

　Valkyrie.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　How about Valkyrie?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I believe the term refers to the mythical goddess of war.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The messenger beast has white hair all over its body, and when the sunlight shines on it, it shines and looks silver.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This makes them look somewhat like sacred creatures.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I think it's pretty good.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

How about your name, Valkyrie?

"Cuey!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I ask the beast, it responds by shaking its head and making eye contact with me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He's a smart guy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe he understands our language to some extent.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It doesn't look like he doesn't like me very much, so I'll take this one.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay, then, let's start the naming ceremony.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With these words, I named the beast.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I named the beast.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I make the beast sit down in front of me and stand in front of it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, the magic circle that I memorized by the magic of [Memory Preservation] comes into my mind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Recently, I have been able to perform this process as naturally as breathing, but this time, I will do it carefully and delicately.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With eyes closed, take several deep breaths, and let the magic floating in the air enter your body, mixing it with your own magic firmly in your stomach area.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Repeat the breathing deeply and consciously to increase the concentration of the magic power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I let the magic power I made in this way spread through my body, and filled my vessel with the magic power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, while maintaining this state, I slowly transfer the magic power to my hands.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Not only gathering the magic into my hand, I concentrated all the magic into the index finger of my right hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He gradually releases the collected magic power out of his body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, he does not only release the magic power outward, but he is conscious of staying there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is more difficult than you think.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If I am not careful, the magic power seems to dissipate in no time at all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sweat begins to pour out of my body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is the point where I have to concentrate.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I exhale and move on to the next step.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I draw a magic circle by moving my fingertips to form a string of magic power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I can feel the blood rushing to my head, as if my brain is about to explode.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is because the load is much heavier than that of moving magic inside the body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But you must not be in a hurry.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I reproduce the magic circle exactly as I remember it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　How long did it take?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My body is already sweating profusely and my throat is parched.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But, thanks to all that hard work, I had succeeded in creating the magic circle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I was nearing my limit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With my last ounce of strength, I told the beast.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Named, you are now a Valkyrie."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's when I said it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The magic circle I had drawn on my fingertip seemed to glow, and then quickly subsided.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The next moment, the magic circle disappeared into the void.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I gasp for air and fall to my knees on the floor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's harder than I thought.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If I had failed in this, I would have been in deep shit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wait for a while for him to catch his breath and then decide to check if the naming of the Valkyrie was successful.
