The crimson princess

Pov Dia,

Dia: "I have gathered you here today to discuss something important."

Next to me stood Rimuru, and in front of me were Ultima, Testarossa, Carrera, Rain, and Misery.

I did not force any of them to kneel because some were pregnant. Additionally, Misery had started acting like Rimuru, complaining that her workload had decreased due to her pregnancy.

Dia: "As you know, some of you are pregnant, and I am absolutely convinced that others will be as well in a few weeks."

The three who were not yet pregnant couldn't help but envy the others, as they also wanted to be in the same situation—except for Rain, who wasn't too eager to see her workload decrease.

Dia: "I have a wish that my daughters, once they are born, will attend school. The problem is that we cannot have them all bear the name 'Eucus,' as they will not look alike. That is why I will give you all a family name, one that I hope you will wear with pride."

I also heard that there had been some misunderstandings when one of them was being called and another was present—hearing "Eucus-sama" would automatically make all my women turn their heads, so it's best to avoid future confusion.

Dia: "Rimuru, who is strong enough to give names, also helped me, so I hope you will thank her after I give you your new names. First, starting with Testarossa, from now on, you will be called Tada Testarossa. There is no need to bow—this is an order."

She was about to do so when I gave her the name, but I didn't want her to force herself, especially since there was still plenty of time before the birth.

Dia: "As for the inseparable maid duo who are practically forced to stay together—Rain, your new surname will be Minakami, and Misery, yours will be Anemo."

After I gave them the cursed rings, their bond of sisterhood grew even stronger, and now they can feel each other's emotions.

I couldn't stop the duo from bowing like proper maids because it was in their pride to do so.

After seeing many with considerable Maid Power, I can tell when a bow is appropriate for a maid or when it would be a mistake.

Dia: "Now, it's just Ultima and Carerra left. I must admit that finding a name for Ultima was the hardest, but we finally settled on Hanabishi. As for Carerra, I wanted to give you a name that fits your personality, so from now on, you will be Tenkawa Carerra."

Now that they all have their new names, I think I'll start working on getting the last three pregnant.

Author's note: I'm not good at writing full R-18 scenes, so I'll skip them, except for the ecchi moments.
