“The talk is settled, then!”
There Mireille, who’d been silent until now, raises her voice. She looks somehow really excited. When I wait for the rest, Mireille shouts.
“We will think of Rita’s epithet!”
“Yes. Let’s think.”
“Eh.”
‘Rita-chan finally gets an epithet and title…!’
‘Crap I’m getting excited!’
‘Wait, epithets are self-proclaimed lol’
That’s a surprise for me too. I thought it would be something like getting called that from someone’s evaluation.
“You think of epithets yourself?”
When I ask that, Mireille’s face goes a little exasperated.
“Because you have not been active enough to be evaluated by anyone, Rita.”
“…………”
‘That’s right!’
‘So far she’s only done the Spirit Forest survey!’
‘And she left the report to Mireille so she basically did nothing lol’
Hearing it again, I’m no good. But, um, self-proclaiming is a little embarrassing. Being called it by someone sounds cool, but self-proclaimed…
“First, a proposal from me!”
“G-go ahead…?”
“Witch of Annihilation!”
“Wait.”
Why is annihilation coming out!? I shouldn’t have done anything that would make people think of annihilation…
“Because when you were flying over the Spirit Forest, you were apparently shooting down wyverns one after another. The Great Spirit told me.”
“What are you doing, Spirit-sama…”
I’m not saying she shouldn’t talk, but I don’t think she needed to. If anything I think I was a bit out of control now, so I would have wanted her to keep quiet.
‘Berserker Rita-chan’
‘Whoa. That was happening, huh’
‘Bluntly it was too fast I couldn’t see well’
I was doing it pretty without restraint, so I’m glad they couldn’t see.
“The Great Spirit was like a mother boasting about her daughter.”
“Ah, I, see… Yeah…”
‘Bashful Rita-chan’
‘Bashful Rita is cute’
‘However what she did was a massacre’
No, yeah. Being told that puts me in a mixed mood. But I’m also a little happy.
After that all kinds of candidates come out. Because I’m an elf and will live long, Eternity, or when I said I research specific magic, Pursuit… But somehow nothing sits right between the two of them, and they’re still talking.
It’s been about an hour, maybe. Honestly, I’m starting to find it a pain.
“I want to go back to the forest…”
When I mutter that, Mireille claps her hands, I see.
“This is it!”
“What now…?”
“Seclusion!”
Seclusion. Seclusion. Hmm…
“Then that.”
‘This is the one who’s really gotten tired of it lol’
‘They were completely talking while leaving Rita-chan behind lol’
‘But why seclusion?’
Ah, I’m curious about that too.
When I ask Mireille, she reveals the reason with a bright smile.
“Because you usually hole up in the forest, Rita?”
“…………”
‘shut-in lmao’
‘Shut-in judgment from the locals too lol’
‘LOL!’
Stop. Stop it. No, no, eh, ah, yeah…
Ehh…
I do think that reason is a little no good. I was about to say let’s change it a bit more, when—
“Seclusion, then. The Witch of Seclusion. For a witch who does not appear in public much, it is rather nice, isn’t it.”
“A brilliant idea if I do say so myself! It is decided!”
Yeah. Whatever.
‘Rita-chan achieved enlightenment… lol’
‘Well it can’t be helped’
‘Being a shut-in is a fact!’
Could you not pile on…
Anyway it’s decided as the Witch of Seclusion. Is this that thing they call daily conduct. If that’s the reason every Guardian would get this epithet, though.
A shut-in. A shut-in, huh… I do go out quite a bit. To Japan, though.
‘From the isekai side it’s not much different from always being in the forest’
‘And where she goes is often Mami-chan’s house’
‘A shut-in after all…!’
I’m about to get angry, you know?
