Pawahara Seijo no Osananajimi to Zetsuen Shitara - 318
One day, when Alka was in the last month of pregnancy and about to give birth.
As I was still pondering what to name our child, Alka sat down on a chair and said to me, “Actually, there is a name I really want to give this baby.
Actually, there is a name I really want to give to this child.
I was thinking of several names for girls. I had a few names in mind for the girl, too. ……
I had thought of a few names for girls, since Alka comes from a village where only women are born,” she said, smiling at me.
I have a feeling this one will probably be a boy. No, I think it’s a boy.”
I see. If Alka says so, I guess it must be so. But a child… …… I still don’t really feel like a child. ……
I’m sure that’s what fathers are like. The mothers like us will be with their children all the time. The belly is getting fuller and fuller, and one day, when you get a sudden kick, you realize that you have a child here.
That’s right. I have my ear to the stomach a lot, and it’s moving very well.
When I smiled at her, she patted her tummy happily.
I asked her, “So, what is her name?
So, what name do you want to give this baby?
Hearing my question, Alka gently stroked her belly and said, “–‘Agni’.
Agni,” she said, patting her belly gently. The child of Iguza and Arcadia. A strong child – Agni.
Agni ……
I don’t know.
It’s a good name that really resonates with me.
It has the initials of both of us, and I am sure that there is no better name to give to this child.
Therefore, I said to him with a burning heart.
Yes, I think it’s a very good name, too. I see… Agni. I’m very happy to meet you, Ag–”
I said, “Well, it’s nice to meet you, Ag–
“Wait a minute!
–…
What?
As we were all rolling our eyes at the pillar of fire that suddenly erupted, it was flung away, and a beautiful, naked woman appeared from inside, standing tall and proud.
Yes, it was Lady Ignifer.
Needless to say, she is also a pregnant woman.
Why are you completely naked? At least put something on!
Naturally, I rushed to cover her with a blanket, but Ignifer looked down at Alka without paying attention to me.
Ignifer looked down at Alka and said, “That is the name I was going to give to my child here! Therefore, I cannot give it to you!
What, ……?
Alka’s eyes widened in astonishment, and Ignifer crossed his arms.
The name “Agni” is an old word that means “flame”. If that is the case, then there is no name more appropriate for my child. After all, both parents are incarnations of fire.
……
I can certainly understand your feelings, Ignifer.
If “Agni” really means “flame,” then there is no one more loved by fire than Ignifer, the goddess of fire, and my child, who was given power by her and has the skill of the “immortal bird. There is no child more loved by fire than my child, who is empowered by her and has the skill of “Phoenix Bird.
But …….
“Arka …….”
I see. I understand your point. Therefore, tell me, O goddess of fire, is there no more word for fire besides Agni? Is there any other word for fire besides Agni? Preferably one of your favorite words.
I say, “Hou? You say you will put it on my child. …… hmmm, then I must reward you for your auspiciousness, or else the name of the Fire Goddess will be ruined. –Very well! Then take heart, Arcadia! Your child’s name is Homsbi!
Homsbi ……” and me.
I guess it means “to make a fire”.
I think it’s a good name.
The question is whether Arka will agree. ……
The first time I saw her, she nodded her head and patted her stomach again.
She nodded her head and patted her own stomach again. I’m going to make friends with that diaper girl over there.
Hey, wait a minute. Whose baby is “Omusubi-chan”? Hey!
Ignifer-sama’s forehead was unusually pale, and of course, I went in to quiet him down.
Incidentally, as a result of our subsequent discussion, it was decided that Arka’s child would be named “Agni” as originally planned.
This was because Ignifer was more than willing to give up his wife’s position for the sake of the child.
Therefore, Ignifer’s child was to be named “Homsubi,” but he did not want to be called “Omusubi” as he had been before. So, we decided to name him “Musubi”.
Well, in the end, everyone called me “Omusubi-chan” to be friendly, but that is a story for a little later.
