"Ahh, this is troublesome."

"But speaking of which, Princess, you now possess both the pure silver hair color that symbolizes the royal family of the God-man clan, and the magical qualities that symbolize the royal family of our Demon clan. If you were to go to the God-man clan, you might be mistaken for their princess, and thus become the queen of both the God-man clan and the Demon clan..."

After hearing what Camisia said, Ella was stunned for a moment, and the figure of Iris naturally emerged in her mind, and then she showed an expression of being at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"That won't happen. The God-man tribe will definitely have strict censorship methods. I'll be grateful not to be caught and dissected then."

"While I still need to discuss whether or not I'll become the princess of the God-man tribe with Dean, but—anatomy and the like… could it really be that this is some advanced technique taught by the Demon King? I've heard you mention it before, Princess-sama…"

"Ah, let's not talk about that for now. Let's talk about the name 'Nott'. 'Naming' magic isn't considered offensive magic, right? While there are temples of other religions within the Demon Clan, and ordinary people can obtain names through the 'Naming' magic performed by the temple priests, what about the royal family? The name 'Nott' can only be bestowed by the Demon Clan royalty, right? How can the royal family, who don't know offensive magic, bestow the family name 'Nott'?"

This matter is very critical to Ella, because if Ella later meets the conditions of the great sage Mitsbaiah, and when Mitsbaiah apologizes to Ruthie, he finds out that Ruthie actually does not have the name Nott because she does not know how to "name" magic, it will be a bit embarrassing.

In "F.Wing", names are something that players can modify at will, so it's normal that Ella doesn't know what is called "naming" magic in this world. In addition, Ella is completely unable to understand the "spell language" used to form magic in this world, so she can't relearn "naming" magic. In order to not reveal her identity as coming from another world, Ella can only achieve the effect by asking questions like "The demon royal family doesn't know naming magic, so how should I solve the problem when I encounter a naming situation?"

As expected, Camisia had no doubts about this. After a moment of hesitation, she told Ella the method.

"Actually, the naming method for the Demon Clan's 'Nott' and the Godman Clan's 'Fariaruci' is very simple. All you need to do is—"

At this point, Camisia's voice suddenly lowered, and she leaned close to Ella's ear and whispered softly.

"ha?"

She didn't feel anything strange about the air blowing against her earlobes when Camisia spoke, because what Camisia said surprised Ella more than that.

"I can't believe it, this is the method?!"

Chapter 67 Naming Ceremony

What surprised Ella was not that the naming method was too difficult, but that it was too simple. It was so simple that Ella began to doubt whether the person who created this world had put any effort into setting it up.

"The naming ceremony can be completed by having the named person drink the royal blood."

"Camisia, if it's so easy, what if someone gets injured in battle? Uh, I mean, a royal family member gets injured in battle, and someone has their blood collected by someone with ulterior motives."

Ella looked at Camisia with a somewhat strange look. If she could really obtain the name "Nott" just by exchanging blood, then she would have to be on the lookout for sneak attacks whenever she went out. Well—no, regardless of whether that would happen or not, she should always be on the lookout for sneak attacks.

Camisia stood up, walked to the bed, and picked up the scroll that Ella had placed on it.

"That approach won't work. The naming ceremony will only succeed if we can obtain blood in a very short period of time and the royal family themselves pray for it."

"Really? That's good then."

Although I don't understand the principle, it's always a good thing to succeed without just randomly "naming" it.

Without the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment in her hand, Ella always felt like something was missing. She glanced at Lotte who was standing beside her and breathing a sigh of relief.

"Lotte should have a knife on her, right?"

"No?"

Luti blinked, then shifted her gaze toward the city of Mistydin outside the large glass window.

Seeing Lotte's expression, Ella understood that Lotte probably didn't want to get hurt, so she deliberately said that she didn't have a knife, even though the purpose was for the "naming" ceremony.

"It's okay. I'll be fine in a moment with some healing magic."

"Miss Ella, it's okay even if I don't have a family name. Don't you always want to avoid pain?"

“That’s what I said, but it’s necessary. Could it be that Lotte wanted to see that old man’s smug look? I said Lotte had the name of Nott, but it turns out that I was afraid of pain and failed. So, let’s just—”

Ella stopped talking mid-sentence.

[Wait, Camisia seems to be saying that only royal blood can successfully name someone... But I'm not truly royal, can my blood really make the ritual successful?]

Such a question could not help but arise in her mind. Although from the current situation, it seems that this body of hers is indeed a member of the royal family of the demon clan, but until there is clear evidence, no one can confirm whether it is true or not. And what if, because of the fact that "pure silver hair color represents the royal family of the divine race", during the naming ceremony, because of her current body that does not resemble any race, she is given the surname "Farialuci" of the divine race? What should she do?

But in the current situation, he simply couldn't find any other excuse to refuse. Even if Ruthie was willing to give up the family name, he would never agree in his heart.

Because of her inner anxiety, Ella began to flap her wings behind her in small movements.

[Think carefully... what similarly named things are there in F.Wing...]

"Lotte-chan, this is a gift from the princess, you should accept it."

"But...as a slave, asking for this...Miss Ella's taking me in was already the greatest favor."

"Slave, or something like that, Princess Lotte-chan wouldn't want you to call yourself that, right? Lotte-chan, you should accept it and repay Miss Ella with even more diligent service, right?"

Camisia's words caused Lotte to fall into a thoughtful silence.

"Well done! Camisia, no—that's not the case. The question now is how to avoid the blood naming method and name Lotte!"

While Ella was cheering for Camisia in her heart, she herself was caught in an unspeakable crisis.

[Although one can customize the names of one's own items, and slaves in this world are considered the master's items...but there's no such thing as a slave class in 'F.Wing', so it can't be modified...]

While Lotte was distracting Camisia, Ella quietly took out an Angel Crystal from the storage and tried to customize the name. The result was successful. The system menu in her mind prompted:

"Successfully modified 'Angel Crystal' into 'Golden Apple'."

However, this does not mean that Ruti's name can be changed. When the system prompt gradually disappeared as time went by, she accidentally caught a glimpse of a character's portrait displayed next to the schedule.

[Oh right! You can try changing your friend's name! I remember when I was browsing the friend list before, not only Lotte, but also Iris was there.]

With a try-it-out mentality, Ella clicked on the icon representing the friend list in "F.Wing" in her mind. Although many of her previous friends in the game were still retained, only five of them were lit up now.

"Hmm... Even Menea and Camisia have joined. It seems this list has changed with the world. Are people close to me automatically registered? Well, it's a good thing anyway."

Try clicking on Ruti's name in the list, then scroll down to find the note column, click it, and enter the following in the input field:

"Lotte Nott"

After choosing to confirm the change, Ella closed the menu in her mind and turned her attention to Lotte, who was still lost in thought. If even changing the notes couldn't name Lotte, then she would really have no choice but to try naming her with blood, and this method might expose the fact that she was not a true princess.

"Advanced Identification Technique"

[I must succeed...]

Praying this in her heart, if Ella wasn't afraid of attracting the attention of Camisia and Lotte by doing something strange now, she would definitely put her hands together and pray.

The end result is.

Name: Ruti Nott

Race: Terran

Rating: 14

HP: 140/140

MP: 28/28

Physical strength: 59/60

【Successful】

As if she had just experienced a battle, Ella covered her chest with her hands and took deep breaths to regulate her heartbeat.

"So, what's your choice, Lotte-chan?"

On the other side, Camisia gave chase while Lotte was silent.

"Being able to bear the name of Nott means that the princess has recognized you, right?"

"Hmm—if Lotte won't give it to me, I'll ask Camisia for help. I guess Camisia's Sword of Disorder might be able to do that, too."

Ella, who had already named Lotte in advance, took over Camisia's words at this time, and then gave Camisia a meaningful look, which made Camisia stop the words she wanted to stop.

What Camisia wanted to say was that although the Sword of Disorder could indeed cut the skin, due to the inherent properties of the Sword of Disorder, the dark attribute would corrode the flesh when cutting the skin, while the ice attribute would freeze the blood. Other attributes would also bring different effects, so Camisia wanted to stop it.

As expected, these words made Lotte, who had been keeping her head down and silent, react.

"don't want!"

"Then, Lotte, give me the knife."

Chapter 68 Dean Nott Mitsebaija's Conditions

Ella's words made Lotte fall silent again. Then, after thinking for a moment, Lotte bent down and bowed deeply to Ella.

"Um—Ms. Ella, thank you."

"You're still saying thank you after all this, really?"

Lotte's serious expression made Ella feel a little embarrassed.

Ella took the delicate-looking dagger from Lotte and placed her left index finger on the blade. The sharp feeling from the blade made Ella want to pull her hand back.

"Ah~ah~, this is really annoying... But, this is necessary. In order for Lotte to bear the name of Nott, this kind of cover is necessary."

Closing her eyes, Ella gently scratched her tender fingertips with the dagger, and the red blood dripped from her fingertips into the vessel that Camisia had prepared at some point.

"Princess, this is enough."

"Eh? That's just one drop, right? Is that really okay?"

Camisia took the vessel and handed it to Luty.

"Well, one drop is enough, as long as you hold in your heart the vision of wanting Lotte-chan to bear the name Nott."

"Is that so? Then——"Elementary Healing Technique"

The fingertips of Ella that were cut by the short blade quickly healed due to the healing magic, leaving no wound at all.

After all, giving blood is just a cover. Ella cannot have that kind of wish in her heart. If she does, if it really works, God knows what kind of strange name she will give Lotte. So it is better to directly change the friend's name, and then use blood without a wish as a false medium.

Staring at the blood rolling in the vessel, Luti hesitated for a moment, raised her hand, held the vessel to her mouth, and licked it with the tip of her tongue.

Putting her still slightly stinging hand behind her back, Ella confirmed that Lotte had indeed drunk it, then turned her gaze towards Camisia.

"Is this the final name?"

"Although it seems different from my previous performance, let's test it first. Lotte-chan, put your hand on this crystal ball and try it out. This is the 'All-Seeing Eye - Modified', used universally across the continent to test identity and strength."

"Um."

Nodding slightly, Lotte placed her hand on the All-Seeing Eye.

Blue light began to flow in the Eye of All Seeing, and then, words symbolizing Lotte's message jumped on the crystal ball.

Name: Ruti Nott

Race: Terran

Rating: 14

HP: 140/140

MP: 28/28

Physical strength: 60/60

Seeing the number on the crystal ball, Ella let out a long breath.

I have escaped a disaster, right?

"Congratulations, Lotte-chan, you've become the fifth person in the history of the demon race to bear the name 'Nott', and the first outsider to bear the name 'Nott'."

"Yes! I will cherish it even more."

Lotte crossed her arms and held them against her chest as if she were holding something precious.

Feeling a little awkward in this atmosphere, Ella walked to the round table by the window, pulled out three soft chairs, and sat on one of them.

"Well, let's not talk about that for now. Let's take a look at Mitsubaya's request. It officially starts tomorrow. I remember asking him to oversee the execution, right?"

"Well, time is running out. Please sit down, Lotte-chan. We can prepare the tea ourselves."

After Camisia guided Luty to sit down on the soft chair, she unfolded the yellowed scroll that Ella had crumpled into a ball on the table. Although the window of Ella's room was facing the sun, it was noon and the sunlight could not shine into the room. Only the sea breeze blowing from the coast of Mistin passed through the balcony and filled the entire room with slightly salty air.

"But that old guy Dean actually came alone, and pretended to be so young."

"Looks young? It seems that Mitsubaya and Camisia have known each other for a long time, right? Could it be that he also lived six thousand years ago through the golden cat's eyes?"

Camisia paused, then spoke in a tone as if she were narrating an epic poem.

"Dean doesn't use the Golden Cat's Eyes. His soul is special, able to parasitize dead demons. Whenever his body collapses, he must seek out another host. While this sounds like a way of survival close to that of the undead, Dean himself doesn't produce the aura of death unique to undead creatures, so he can't be classified as one of the undead. Speaking of which, this ability of his should be considered a curse, right? During the battle with the One God, he was cursed by the One God. Even if he didn't find a body to parasitize, his soul wouldn't perish, sentencing him to eternal life. This is also the reason he was able to temporarily resist the Demon King's bloodline."

"In a way, Mr. Mitsubaya should be suffering more than Ms. Camisia, right?"
