　A red-furred Valkyrie warms an egg under her belly while squealing.

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

　She looks as if she really is a mother as she holds the eggs she has laid with such care.

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

　It's only been about ten days since she was born. .......

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

　I was thinking such a thing as I looked at her motherly figure.

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

　Apparently, this red Valkyrie can lay eggs.

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

　And it seems that she doesn't suddenly eat what she lays.

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

　Though I'm not sure if those are the eggs of a Valkyrie or not.

　Maybe they are completely different from each other, though they look similar.

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

　But at least what we know for now is that the eggs are growing by sucking magic power.

"I don't know what to do. It will take some time to verify."

"Yes, it is. If it was the egg of a beast of burden, it will take two years to know the result when Master Alphonse tries to hatch it again. Perhaps it will take the same amount of time for the red Valkyrie to raise them."

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

"Right. I thought Brother Ars said that the time it takes to hatch them himself and the time it takes for the white Valkyries to hatch them are about the same. Two years is a long time.

"There are other things I'm curious about."

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

"What?　What's on your mind, Ai?"

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

"Will that egg hatch properly when the red Valkyrie gives it magic power? And if they do hatch, what will their traits be like? Is it the same as the red Valkyrie's? Furthermore, whether it is possible to lay those eggs again. If so, how long and how often can they lay eggs? I think there are many things to consider."

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

"Well, if you put it that way, yes. I don't know why they are laying eggs in the first place, but the points that Ai pointed out may be important for the future. Especially whether or not they will lay other eggs.

"Yes. If we can increase the number of the eggs of the messenger beasts, then there is a possibility that we can increase the number of the messengers in the East."

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

"Right. Well, there are a lot of things we don't know. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

　No conclusion is likely to be reached at this time.

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

　Then, there is no point in being too hasty.

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

　For the time being, we will just have to wait and see.

"Hey, Mr. Al. Don't you have a name for this child?

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

"Hmm, what's the matter, Me?　By naming it, do you mean the red Valkyrie?"

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

"Yes. It's hard to call you Red Valkyrie.

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

"I see. I guess you could say that. But a name. I can give it something, but do you have a good name for it?"

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

　I will now spend some time researching the Red Valkyrie.

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

　While I was thinking about this, Mitya asked me an important question.

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

　Come to think of it, we haven't given it a name yet.

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

　It doesn't bother me so much if I call it Valkyrie, but if red and white are different, maybe I should give it a different name.

"Oh, how about this one then?"

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

"You got something in mind, Hannah?"

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

"Yes. How about the name Valkyrie?

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

"Valkyrie?　I don't mind, but why?"

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

"Well, I'm afraid you're going to have to ask me that. ....... Actually, at first, Valkyrie was hard to pronounce, or maybe Mee couldn't say it well. So I kept saying "Valkyrie" or "Valkyrie" or "Valkyrie" with a lisp. And among them, there was one that I called Valkyrie, and I actually kind of liked that name.

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

"Oh, I see. So it's because Mee misspoke. I see. Then let's call this red Valkyrie Valkyrie from now on.

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

"Are you sure?"

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

I don't mind. Is that okay with you?

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

"Valkyrie!　Yeah, that's fine. Thank you, Mr. Al."

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

　A name for the red individual.

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

　It was decided to adopt Hannah's idea and call it Valkyrie.

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

　I thought it was not a good idea to adopt a name based on a child's mispronunciation, but Valkyrie herself did not seem to dislike the name, so I decided to go ahead with it.

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

　In fact, this kind of thing happens more often than you might think.

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

　The language is different between the United Kingdom of Fontana and here in the East.

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

　Sometimes, the language I use in my hometown is hard to be heard or pronounced by the people here, and sometimes it sounds like a different language.

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

　Let's think this time is similar to that.

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

"Well then, let's give it a name. Named Valkyrie. Your name is now Valkyrie. I'm glad to meet you."

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

"Cue!"

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

　And so, I gave him a name using [naming].

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

　Now he can use magic, too.

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

　Drinking water and washing are useful, so it's good to have them.

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

　Valkyrie quickly offers drinking water and drinks it while snuggling up to the egg.

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

　I stroke the Valkyrie's silky fur and look at her expectantly, hoping she will lay eggs again.
