Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist?

Chapter 544: Naming Dispute

Sophia slept because she was exhausted, so I left the room and went to the living room.

There, I saw that they had disregarded Sophia and I, and were considering names for the baby.

「I still think that a name related to Wind Spirits would be good.」

「Oh my, it would be even better if it’s a name connected to water.」

「Fufu, I believe a plant or flower-based name would be nice~. She’s a girl, after all.」

「Light, light would be good. She has dazzling silver hair.」

First on the list was Sylph, then Undine, Dryas, and Selene all went and insisted on names that were related to their respective attributes.

「……what names are associated with the darkness or night?」

「No, darkness won’t do. This should be a manly fire.」

「Is your head alright, Salamander? The child born is a girl. I believe a name associated with the land and earth would be most suitable.」

For some reason, without realizing it, even Nyx, Salamander, and Gnome were participating. Wait, Nyx. I also don’t think too favorably towards names with darkness and night.

「My apologies to the Great Spirits, but I would like to choose the name of my grandchild.」

「Oh my, it is the first child to be blessed by the Great Spirits, even including Yggurle Kingdom. Would that not mean that, I, the Queen, should be the godmother?」

Freesia-san and Madam Lumia overcame their social ranks and kept each other in check.

「A godmother~ How nice.」

「Lulu will also think nya」

「Hoho, godmother has such a nice ring to it.」

Akane, Lulu-chan, and even Laeva were excited.

I’ll say it as many times as I need to, but it’s Sophia’s and my child……

It was then that Jeeves informed me that there were guests.

「Vanga-sama and Martha-sama have come.」

「Ah- ahh, Vanga-san and Martha-san? What could it be? Ahh, I’ll meet them.」

I said that to Jeeves and headed to the entryway. There, Vanga-san and Martha-san were holding a package.

「Ohh, Takumi, congratulations! We heard that the child was born!」

「Congratulations, Takumi-chan. You’ve now also become a father.」

「Eh, you already know about it?」

The baby was just born, and yet Vanga-san and Martha-san already knew about it.

「Yeah, we heard from the Cat Siths and Elves that it was a celebration.」

「Apparently, it was a blessing that the Spirits were bustling about in the Sanctuary. We’re human so we can’t see them, though.」

「Ha, haha, is that so?」

「We’re heading back, then.」

Vanga-san handed me a congratulatory gift and said they’re going home.

「Do you not want to see the baby?」

「Takumi-chan, Sophia-san must be tired, and we can meet the baby any time. We look forward to when you can introduce the baby to us.」

「I see. Thank you for today.」

「Don’t mention it, we look out for each other. Takumi, you’re about to be the old man of three kids in one go. Good luck.」

「Y, yes.」

Vanga-san patted me on the back and left.

After seeing Vanga-san and Martha-san off, I walked back to the living room while pondering over whether I really had to have an introduction, and when I got there, the competition between the Great Spirits and everyone was unfolding.

「How about Flora~? I think she will grow up as beautiful as a flower~」

「What do you think about Tempesta? It sounds strong.」

「No can do, Sylph. She’s a girl.」

Dryas’s naming sense was not bad at all. Flora…… that could be it.. Come on Sylph, Tempesta is a no go. Obviously I wouldn’t name my daughter that. It didn’t catch on as Undine had rejected it.

「What do you think about Ymir?」

「Madam Lumia, there is an issue with that.」

Madam Lumia recommended a name that extends to her own and Mimir-sama’s name. And of course, Freesia-san said no to that.

「Lumielle is nice. It’s suitable for a dazzling child.」

「……Etoile is pretty.」

Lumielle, huh. Selene’s naming sense is pretty good. Surprisingly, Nyx’s Etoile isn’t bad either.

「How about Haruka? The kanji for it is nice, and it’s a very girly name, right?」

「Haruka nya?」

「Is it a name from your hometown, Akane-dono? Now that I think about it, Kaede and Tsubaki are also like that.」

Haruka? What a pretty name.

Akane recommended a very Japanese name. Just as Laeva had said, Kaede and Tsubaki were also Japanese names, so it wasn’t bad.

In the end, the godparent competition being held in the living room had to be postponed.

The reason for that being…… Maria complained about labor pains.
