“Hmm…”

The three of them decided to give the puppy a new name. Aion and Dana Frere were sitting at the table, moving their pens while thinking of a new name that would suit her.

They seemed more focused than ever, just writing their names on paper without saying a word.

They were repeating the process of erasing and rewriting their names, as if they were artists suffering from an art disease.

‘Everyone is working hard…’

Aion smiled brightly at the sight of their passionate appearance.

It’s like the feeling of a father watching his young children study hard.

He smiled as he watched them diligently writing and erasing their names, then looked at the blank paper in front of him and thought.

‘Hmm… I can’t think of a name for it.’

Aion’s paper was brand new, without a speck of dust, unlike theirs, and that was because Aion seemed to have no sense of naming things.

Even the names that come to mind right now are old-fashioned names like tofu and gray, but it doesn’t make sense to call someone gray just because their hair is gray, right?

Moreover, if he called it that way, there might be controversy if he ever met someone with black hair like me, so Aion was more worried than when he was hunting monsters.

He began to give the puppy a new name, using the brain cells he normally didn’t use.

“Hmm..I’m tired..”

However, the puppy, unaware of their suffering, lay down in the living room and yawned leisurely while enjoying the sunlight streaming in through the window.

So Danawa Freyaion was pushing her creativity to the limit, writing down a new name for her puppy on a piece of paper.

***

Time passed like that, and it was around lunchtime. Those who had been frantically thinking of names for their puppy were only able to put down their pens after writing down so many names that there was no space left on the paper.

Aion and her hands, which had been holding the pen continuously, were covered in sticky sweat.

Aion and Dana Frey said, throwing down the pens they were holding.

“Wow.. If you’ve come this far, there’s bound to be at least one name that you like among these.”

Aion looked back and forth between the paper he had written and theirs as he spoke, and the girls nodded in agreement as they looked at the sleeping puppy.

While they were busy naming the dogs, Puppy was lying leisurely in the living room, basking in the sunlight streaming in through the window. Unable to overcome the warmth of nature, she eventually fell asleep.

Was it because the waiting time was so long or because the weather was so nice? Puppy fell into a deep sleep.

As a result, the puppy fell into such a deep sleep that he didn’t even notice if someone carried him and ran away.

“Wake up..”

Fred approached the puppy and shook its shoulder carefully, saying:

When Frega shook him with his small hand, the puppy, who had been in a deep sleep, woke up, rubbing his eyes.

“Hmm…?”

Mongmongi looked at Fre who had woken him up and nodded as if asking why he had woken him up.

At the puppy’s behavior, Dana came over and said.

“You were deciding on a name, but you forgot?”

Dana said as she looked at the puppy who was looking at her with a blank expression. The puppy started to wag its tail as if it had just remembered what Dana said.

“Has my name been decided?”

The puppy looked at Dana with sparkling eyes.

Run Run

“Ahem.. First, get to work!”

Dana seemed to have calmed down a little at the puppy’s cute attack, and cleared her throat and made her sit down at the table.

“First, drink some water and wake up.”

Aion said to the dog, who was still unconscious even while sitting on the table, while handing him cold water.

In response to Aion’s actions, Mongmongi drank all the water Aion gave him in one sip without a single moment of hesitation. It was as if Mongmongi trusted everything about Aion.

After a short while, Mongmongi came to his senses and looked at the paper full of names they had written down with clear eyes and asked.

“Is this my name?”

“If there’s a name you like among these, we’ll do it. We’ll tell you one by one, so if there’s a name you like, put it on the list. ”

Aion asked, looking at the colorful names on the white paper filled with herbal medicine.

At such a dog’s words, Aion nodded and answered. At first glance, there were about 200 names, so they knew it would be a tiring task, but since names were one of the most important things to live as a human, they couldn’t just do it carelessly just because it was annoying, so Aion and Dana Frey began to say the names they had come up with after thinking about them for several hours, one by one.

“Bree, Tail, Lisa, these are the first names we thought of. Do you like any of them?”

Aion and the others each spoke of the names they had thought of and named, but Mongmongi only shook his head as if it was not his choice, perhaps because there were too many names to choose from.

They were worried because they knew how to say good or bad without thinking much about it, but if a name that he didn’t like was mentioned, Mongmongi would immediately cut it off and prepare to hear the next name.

However, their time and effort were not completely in vain, as out of nearly 200 names, about 8 were chosen as candidates for Mongmongi’s next name.

Soon, additional names like Aion and Dana were added to the list of candidates, making a total of 10 names as candidates for the next name for the puppy.

Among the names, there were many unique and diverse names such as Taila, Easy, and Hine.

When there were 10 candidates left, Mongmongi looked at the remaining 10 names with a serious face and sighed.

That’s because in the future, there may be times when we go to the market, go on adventures, or travel together, so we decided to definitely decide on a name this time.

“This is it! I like this!”

After looking at the names in front of him for a while, Mongmongi pointed to the name that immediately caught his eye and spoke.

The name she liked was Hine, the name created by Aion, and the puppy wagged its tail happily, looking satisfied.

“Ha.. In the end, I can’t beat the old man.”

“Still..Thanks to Mr. Puppy..No, Mr. Hine, it was a fun time!”

Danawa and Fre accepted the result with a smile, although they were slightly disappointed by Hine’s choice.

So the puppy’s name was changed to Hine, and she shook her body as if she was in a good mood.

‘So does that mean I won’t be able to smell anything from now on?’

But Aion was smiling with a slightly regretful look on his face.

When she was a puppy. Aion had secretly liked the scent coming from her body, so he looked a little disappointed and gloomy.

“……….♥”

As if he had read Aion’s thoughts, Hine held Aion’s hand tightly with his remaining tail and spoke softly.

“You don’t have to be too disappointed, master..even though the appearance has changed, the smell is the same♥If you’re really depressed..then try experimenting once at night later..♥’

Hine spoke in a small voice so that Danawa and Fre couldn’t hear, wrapping her arms around Aion’s.

Aion’s face turned red from Hine’s prank, and he covered his face with his hand for a moment to hide his blushing face.

After that, Aion, who had regained consciousness, treated Hine, who had become human, to a sumptuous meal.

Chicken, pork, etc. Aion said that on a day like today, he should eat as much as he wants and cooked food without any regrets.

So Aion, Dana Frere, and Hine could sit at the table and eat meat to their heart’s content.

Since she had only been human for a few days, Hine was not used to using human tools, but thanks to the kind consideration of Danawa and Fre, she was able to cut meat on her own.

Those who had such a grand feast eventually fell into an early sleep as the sun set.

Aion placed them one by one on the beds in their rooms.

After placing them all on the bed, Aion carefully left the room and began cleaning up the messy living room and dining table.

Since naming Hine, there has been more trash left in the living room than usual.

As Aion was organizing all of this, he soon found himself holding a piece of paper in his hand that had the names they had left behind written all over it.

How much agony and worry must have gone into this short piece of paper for it to turn so black.

Aion looked at the names they had written one by one with great care and was about to throw them away.

Aion, who thought that this was also a memory, eventually went into the room with a satisfied expression, carrying the paper on which they had pressed their crooked handwriting.

It was definitely a tiring day because a lot of things happened in such a short period of time…

“It was a fun day..”

Aion’s body was so tired that he felt like he might collapse at any moment, but for some reason, his mind was so clear.
