Volume 2 Chapter 4 Let's Create a Clan! (I)
"Um, so this is a meeting, right...? Basically, we're discussing things like what the clan name will be and who will be the leader, correct?"
"No point in that."
After Rie-tan papa left, the meeting started with Sagawa as the moderator.
"Ah, but before that, I want to ask a few things... Um, what happens to the experience points when more than one person fights and defeats a monster?"
"Well, experience points are prioritized for the person who dealt critical damage to the monster."
"Whoa, is that how it works?"
"I didn't know that either..."
"What's wrong? Are you a loner too, Sagawa?"
"Don't call me a loner, Amamiya!"
"You're a loner, right? Not that current Sagawa, but the previous you was, sorry to say."
"Hey! Amamiya, aren't you being a bit harsh on me?"
"Shut up! It can't be helped, can it? Just accept it as the rust you brought upon yourself."
"Grr..."
"..."
Oh, what's this...?
These 2... are they getting along well?
Certainly, Rie-tan was quite harsh, but compared to when they first met, things have improved a lot...
Even more so, it seems Rie-tan's attitude towards Sagawa has softened.
N-No, I mean, from these two... I can sense the waves of romantic comedy!!!
As I was lost in my thoughts,
"Hmm? What's wrong, Takeru?"
"What's the matter, Takeru-kun?"
"Wha!? N-No, no, no! P-Please, don't mind me!!!!"
I desperately tried to cover it up (not sure if I succeeded).
* * *
"So, um... for forming the clan, there are a few decisions that need to be made by the 3 of us..."
Currently, Rie-tan is the one moderating.
Being a D-class Seeker, I had to ask her, "Please, do!"
Huh?
Sagawa?
He seemed annoying, so I switched with Rie-tan.
"First of all, what we need to decide is... the 'Clan Name."
"Oh, the clan name, huh?"
"..."
Well, that's where the first neighborhood really is.
"By the way, Takeru, the one who brought it up, what do you think? If you suggested forming a clan, you've got to have thought about the name already, right?"
Then, Sagawa lightly teased me.
Hmph... you fool!
"Of course! I definitely want this name to be decided! Sagawa's opinion doesn't matter. Rie-tan's opinion will be properly considered."
"W-what is that!"
"Shut up. Sagawa... house!"
I dismiss Sagawa, who was provoking me, without a second thought.
"Um, Takeru-kun. You don't have to worry about me, okay? I think any name you decide for the clan is absolutely fine. After all, this clan is Takeru-kun's clan..."
"Huh? I'm the leader?"
"Of course!"
"Well, I guess so. I did bring it up after all..."
So, with Rie-tan's encouragement, I became the 'leader.'
"So, what name did Takeru come up with for the clan?"
"Hmph, good question! Prepare to be amazed, Sagawa! The name I thought of is... 'Hero Brigade'!"
"Huh, hero..."
"... brigade."
Hehe!
This name was inspired by how I was called a 'hero' in another world.
How about that?
Cool, right?
Silence...
Oh, wait?
Have the two of them frozen...?
R-Reaction... please.
"T-Takeru..."
"W-what is it?"
"Um... how should I put this, it feels like there's a bit too much of a Chuunibyou element in the name..."
"Oh really? What about you, Rie-tan?"
"Huh?! W-well... um... since Takeru-kun decided, I think it's fine, but... um, it might stand out too much, or how should I say, it might feel like the name doesn't match the reality..."
"Hmm? Ah, I see."
You're right.
Rie-tan and Sagawa don't know that I went to another world and defeated the Demon Lord to become a hero...
Well, if you don't know that I defeated the Demon Lord and became a hero, it would sound like a 'Chūnibyō naming'.
Yeah.
...It can't be helped.
"I see. Then... shall we change it?"
I felt a bit disappointed, but quickly switched gears to propose a different clan name to the two.
Then,
"W-wait a minute, Takeru!"
"Sagawa?"
"Honestly, it feels a bit like a Chūnibyō name, but I think it fits you guys in its own way."
"Sagawa..."
"...Hehe, you've got a point. Besides, the trending D-streamer 'Omega' seems like a 'Chūnibyō patient,' so in a sense, 'Chūnibyō' is trendy, isn't it?"
"What!?"
"Oh, oh my, Rie-tan!"
I was a bit surprised that Rie-tan brought up 'Omega...'
What's up with Sagawa being shocked?
Still, Rie-tan might be right.
In fact, 'Omega' has become the biggest trend right now.
"That said, as Amamiya pointed out... I'm a bit worried we won't live up to the 'name,' though."
"That's true... After all, it has the word 'hero' in the clan name. Honestly... it's easy to say, 'Let's make sure we live up to it!' but putting that into practice..."
The two muttered with serious expressions.
Their opinions were indeed valid.
However, I really like this clan name, so I want to push for it regardless.
So,
"It's fine! We will... definitely be alright!!"
"I pressed on with enthusiasm."
Well, from their perspective, it probably sounds like 'baseless confidence'.
Besides, as the one who has just become F-Class and hasn't even explored dungeons, my words of baseless confidence probably won't reach them...
"Understood. If Takeru-kun is that adamant about it, I'd like to give it a try!"
"Y-yeah, got it. If you're saying it, I'll do it."
"Huh?..."
Is this a joke?
Is that okay?
"Huh? What's wrong, Takeru?"
"Ah, no, I never thought my opinion as the most inexperienced Seeker among us would actually be accepted..."
"Wha...!? Ah, yeah... That's just... Ow, ow, ow!"
As Sagawa listened to my words, he stuttered in response, when Rie-tan suddenly kicked him in the shin from the side.
What's going on?
"Huh? Aren't we precious comrades? We can trust the words of a comrade, especially those of the Clan Leader! That's when we need to trust the Leader's words... It's what creates 'trust' and 'camaraderie'!"
"Uh, I see... ."
Rie-tan's intense explanation left me unwittingly convinced.
Well, I suppose it's fine...
Anyway, my suggested clan name got adopted, after all.
So, our clan name was decided to be the "Hero Brigade".
