Just give him a name that makes communication easier.
…
The gray-haired girl was stunned.
"You want to name me?"
It looked at the boy in surprise.
…
"You can also get it yourself."
the boy added.
He did not necessarily require the other party to accept his name.
"May I?"
The boy was a little unsure whether his suggestion was inappropriate?
Will it arouse the other party's resentment?
…
The boy carefully observed the expression of the gray-haired girl.
You should be... not unhappy, right?
…
"Can."
The gray-haired girl nodded.
"You picked it up for me."
There was a bit of nonchalance in his tone.
It seems that he doesn't care much about the name he is about to have.
…
The boy was a little surprised.
The other party actually agreed to his suggestion?
She also asked him to give her a name.
Soon, excitement arose in the boy's heart.
He never named the kittens or puppies.
Not to mention people-
No.
It's a monster.
yes.
The boy reacted.
He wants to give the monster a name.
The boy couldn't help but hold his hands.
There was uncontrollable excitement in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
…
calm.
The boy pinched the back of his hand.
"Shall I name you?"
"Really?"
…
The gray-haired girl said matter-of-factly.
"Aren't you going to give me a name?"
"Then take it."
…
The boy pursed his lips.
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.
"Um."
…
"...Do you have any favorite words?"
The boy frowned and thought for a while.
I don't know if he was too emotional, but he couldn't calm down completely.
My mind went blank.
He knocked on his head.
Ask the monster girl for her opinion.
…
"No."
The gray-haired girl shook her head without hesitation.
"up to you."
…
The boy smiled bitterly.
Whatever he wants?
This is not easy.
Names are very important.
How can you be casual?
…
The boy rubbed his forehead vigorously.
The excitement slowly calmed down.
His mind was finally not blank anymore.
What to name a monster girl?
To fit the identity of a monster girl...
Monster girls are monsters.
Naturally, you can't choose a name that is too common.
Um……
The boy was lost in thought.
…
"Qua~"
…
The boy was startled.
He looked up hastily.
A black shadow quickly disappeared from his field of vision.
It's an unknown bird.
It was the cry of this bird that startled him just now.
…
The boy was a little frightened.
The bird's cry was too sharp.
Caught off guard, he felt as if his heart was about to jump out of his throat.
…
Why!?
The boy’s belated discovery-
Before I knew it, the beautiful sunset had filled the sky.
very beautiful.
But it also means the passage of time.
The boy was anxious for a moment.
Has he been here a long time?
He has no idea at all.
He suddenly wanted a watch.
This way he won't feel uneasy because he doesn't know what time it is.
…
But soon, the boy calmed down.
fine.
Don't worry.
It's not dark now.
Only the sunset appeared.
It seems that it just appeared not long ago.
The surrounding sky was slightly illuminated.
So does the sunset.
It's like the bottom is illuminated.
It makes the somewhat bright colors of the sunset look a little softer.
…
He asked for leave from his teacher and left school one class early.
It's not far from the school.
It should be said that both schools and parks are close to his home.
Not much time is spent on the road.
He didn't talk much with the monster girl just now.
He should still have some time.
Get home before mom comes home.
…
But not much.
The boy hit his head hard.
name……
name……
What is a good name for a monster girl?
…
This is a very important thing.
He didn't want to postpone this matter until next time.
…
The boy thought of the bird's cry that had frightened him just now.
From a black unknown bird.
Is it a crow?
When the boy talks about black birds, the only thing that comes to mind is crows.
He really likes crows.
Because in many cartoons he has watched, the appearance of crows is quite aura.
Very handsome.
…
crow……
Black crow...
The words in the boy's mind were randomly arranged and combined.
Why?
The boy raised his eyes.
The monster girl's gray hair caught his eye.
Gray...crow?
"Gray Crow!"
The boy shouted excitedly.
"What's the name like?"
"Isn't he handsome?"
"That sounds like-"
The boy's voice stopped suddenly.
He frowned.
This name is very handsome and nice.
but……
Is it not suitable for girls?
…
There was some hesitation on the boy's face.
…
"Grey Crow..."
The girl with gray hair curled her mouth.
It stretched out its hand to curl its hair.
The origin of the name is obvious.
"fine."
"That's it."
…
ah?
The boy opened his eyes wide.
He is still struggling here, has the rightful owner agreed?
"Really, really?"
The boy was surprised.
It’s also a bit incredible.
Is it too fast?
"Do you like this name?"
He thought...
At least a few of the names he proposed had to be rejected by the monster girl. After racking his brains, he came up with a name that the monster girl liked.
…
Generally speaking…
Isn’t there always such a process?
…
Is his name really so well chosen?
Or are youkai girls not that concerned about names, so they can accept names as long as they're not too bad?
…
"Don't you think..."
The boy explained the reason for his hesitation just now, "This name looks a bit like a boy's name?"
…
"Like a boy?"
The gray-haired girl blinked.
"Why?"
…
Well……
The boy also blinked.
How to explain this?
"that is……"
"Generally speaking, girls' names contain more words like Li, Yuan, Jing... these words."
"And words like Gang, Qiang, Shi... these words will make people think they are boys' names."
"Ashes and crows also make people feel more...well..."
The boy thought for a moment and said, "I don't think they give people a very obvious gender impression."
"It will be more neutral."
The boy's hand pulled slightly.
"But if I insist..."
"Neutral and more boyish."
…
"Yeah?"
The gray-haired girl looked confused.
It has no idea that they are just words, so how can it differentiate between boys and girls?
…
The boy naturally saw the confusion of the monster girl.
He smiled bitterly.
indeed.
It is a bit difficult for the monster to understand that what he just said is for a strong monster.
