Chapter 65 - Nanami 2
Nanami 2
She (Maid Knight Shiki Edition 73) raised her face.
“Now then, with that settled…..”
She started talking. She put her hand inside her cleavage and took out a familiar deep blue cloth.
Why did you put that thing in such a place?
“I think it’s time for you to give such an overflowingly mischievous character and explosively popular, Maid Knight Series like myself a suitable name.”
“Overflowingly mischievous huh……..”
Just now, she was rather serious and have a machine-like image though. You can choose her personality from the type in Magiero but there was nothing like the personality I witnessed just now.
“Yes, I’m proud of being overflowing without spilling anything out.”
I don’t really understand but well, whatever.
“Hmm, Naming huh. Unnn, How should I call you…… you are something like a homunculus right?”
I was certain that she would nod but she shook her head.
“No, I am not a Homunculus. Sorry in advance but are you familiar with Android, Bioroid or a Replicant?”
“Eeh?”
“In the first place, I am not something that was made by humans, I am an Angel.”
“A, Angel!?”
I involuntarily shouted back. The companion character her in Magiero was not an Angel. She was supposed to be a homunculus.
“Angels are generally fundamentally different from humans. Unlike the elves or the beastmen, Angels are a completely different life form.”
Well, there was a sub-heroine that was an angel in Magiero so I kind of understand that but……
“There’s no need to worry as our reproductive activity is the same and pregnancy is also possible. However, the child will not be an angel but will take the race of the other party instead.”
“No, I don’t really worried about that.”
I was not worried but it was interesting cough– cough.
“Is that so…..Fufu.”
“Why are you making such a full-faced smile while looking at my crotch?”
“Well, let’s change the topic.”
“So you are changing the topic…..Okay, how do I get out of this place…..”
Why do I feel like she holds all the pace of our conversation?
“My apologies but, as my contractor, there’s no need for you to use such a polite language with me.”
Certainly, I have never seen anyone in anime using polite language to a servant like a maid before. But there were a lot of people that treated their employees politely in Japan you know?
“Well, it’s a habit you see…. Is it okay for me to continue like this?”
“Tsk…..”
“Eh, did I just heard a tongue clicked…..”
“No way, that must be your imagination.”
“U, understood. So I will be using polit—-”
“Tsk……”
“Go, got it.”
A forced correction?……. I don’t know who is the master anymore.
“Yes, I will be in your care.”
She said so and graciously express her gratitude with that familiar blue cloth in hand.
I have been curious for a while but.
“Umm……What’s that thing in your hand?
“This? It’s the school swimsuit.”
She spread out the blue cloth she was holding. That’s certainly a school swimsuit. The name tag was blank though, no, never mind that.
“It was included as a bonus costume.”
Did she guess my question? However, the question inside my heart will not be answered by just that alone.
“Why……school swimsuit?”
“According to my knowledge, we were originally sold with the maid outfit but when they add in the school swimsuit as a package the sales increased so much that it has become like this ever since. There were some places that removed the school swimsuit from the package but rather than a drop in sales, the company received a complaint instead.”
The customers are making claim!?
“I can change into it right now if you want.”
Eh, seriously? You are fine changing here? [Please don’t look at me like that]. Is she gonna say something like that?
“No thank you.”
“I see. So you are the type that wants to use their imagination. Then I will wear it on top of my clothes, please feel free to take a look.”
She said so and put the school swimsuit on top of her maid outfit…. Unn, it’s erotic but the pose is a little……..No, that’s not it.
“You, the part you said about showing your loyalty to the contractor, you actually only want to make fun of me right?”
“Fufu, I would never do such a thing. More importantly, can you give me a name?”
That’s right I forgot. She said that she wanted me to give her a name right?.
Now, I can give her whatever name I want in the game, but I think most people named her [Nanami]. People on the Bulletin board site also said that “MKS73 was a mouthful, let’s just call her Nanami”, Because of that the name Nanami was established in the community. I am also one of the [Nanami] faction though.
“Right, then….. How about Nanami?”
Listened to what I said, she responded with “Haa?” and frowned.
“What an unbelievable naming sense. To think that you would use my serial number as it is. It was like you are naming your child San (TLN: San mean Three) just because he was born as the third child. He would be called San-san you know? That’s like a panda’s nickname. I heard that the name was a part that decided how hard your child can find a job. Is it okay for you to simply decide your child’s future like that?”
……….. That’s certainly so. What she said was correct.
In the game, she would be happy no matter what name you gave her but this is not a game. It’s a reality. The game’s knowledge will not always work. She is a human being (Angel).
What I have to consider was a person’s name, not a pet’s. My thoughts were too shallow.
“S, Sorry, I will think of another nam–……Nn.”
I look at her and stopped talking.
“Seriously, what a troublesome Goshujin-sama (TLN: master).”
She said so while holding her school swimsuit and write the word [Nanami] on it with an oil pen she took out from who knows where. Then after she finished writing, this time she writes a small Nanami on her hand and let out a small smile.
She immediately returned to her usual fed up expression but she certainly smiled for a moment.
She tightly hugs the school swimsuit that she written the name on and say,
“Well, it would be a waste of time to think of another name so Nanami is fine as it is.”
“……….You actually like it right?”
“Haa, what are you saying Goshujin-sama…. Now then, the nickname was decided as Nanami, what should we do with the Kanji? There are a lot of candidates though.”
“You actually like Nanami quite a lot right?”
She ignores my word and writes a lot of Nanami’s Kanjis on the ground. But there’s also a big [Nanami] written in Hiragana on the ground while others like [Nanami (Seven Sea)] or [Nanami (Green Beauty)] were written with small letters. Moreover, she even writes the second [Nanami] in hiragana again somehow. Am I supposed to choose from this?
“U, Unn, How about the Nanami written in Hiragana?”
“Haaa— Hiragana?……..”
She sighs exaggeratedly and put a heart mark at the end of [Nanami] on the ground. She even adds three more heart marks there.
“You seriously like that right? You can’t possibly like it more than this right?”
“It’s not You. It’s Nanami. Now then, I will be in your care, Goshujin-sama.”
She even wants me to call her by name….she absolutely likes it. Rather, isn’t this place held a lot of value for both for academic and dungeon study field? Why did you write your name on the ground with an oil pen? If this place was a sightseeing spot you will get reported on social media you know? Come to think of it since it’s a dungeon and the land the dungeon located on was owned by the Hanamura family, let’s not mind about that.
“Now, please confirm the title for Contractor-sama.”
“Title?”
“Yes, please tell me how I should be addressing you Takioto Kousuke-sama. The options are [ -sama], [Master], [Goshujin-sama], [Shishou (Teacher)], [Oyakata (Boss)], [Meijin (Expert)], [Tatsujin (Expert)], [Kaichou (President)], [Buchou (Club president)], [Kanpaku (Advisor)], [Seitaishougun (Commander in Chief)], [-noboshi], and [-chi (Familiar name calling)], I have prepared a lot of options for you.”
“Did you get the name from a train board game? (TLN: Try google Densha Sugoroku) What’s the default setting?”
“It was set as Goshujin-sama.”
Well, being called that would felt kinda itchy but it was the same as the game.
“….Well, that’s reasonable enough.”
Moreover, I want to try having a maid calling me like that at least once. A maid cafe? I want a real maid to call me that.
“Then I will call you Goshujin-sama from now on. Now, how do you want me to address other people besides Goshujin-sama? [Lower Life Form] is set as the default at the moment.”
“That default setting is too cruel! Why the master treatment is normal and the other’s treatment is so cruel!? Change it, Change it now! Rather, what timing did you plan to use that word on?”
“Yaaa! It’s a good day right you lower life form!”
“You dressed it up nicely but isn’t the follow up lower than a trash!?”
“That’s a good idea. let set it up as [Lower Than a Trash].”
“You are using that!? That’s no longer how you call a living creature right? At least use a word that pays respect toward the other party!”
“Tsk, Understood.”
“…..Someone, please retort her for meeeeee.”
