How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom: Volume 9 (Premium)
Page 25
“Don’t worry about it. You must have been exhausted.”
I got the feeling Mother might have had something to do with the reason my father had passed out, but... I was going to keep quiet about that.
“You seem to be moving around, but are you feeling well enough to?” ather asked, scrutinizing me.
“Yes. I haven’t recovered completely, though.”
“Rest while you’re here, at least. This is your home, too.”
I giggled. “It is.”
My home... huh. I’d never lived here, but just having my mother and father here was comforting. It was a place tied to my family. But Souma, being summoned from another world, didn’t have anything like this, did he?
“I wish Souma had something that let him feel connected to his relatives, too...” I murmured.
“He does,” ather responded as if the answer was obvious. My son-in-law has the body his parents gave him. His name, too. That’s why, for as long as he lives, that connection will never break.”
I was silent.
His body and name are ties to his family... well, maybe they are.
But it had been decided that when Souma took the throne, he’d inherit my family name and Roroa’s family name to become Souma Amidonia Elfrieden. Souma’s real name, Kazuya, would disappear. That felt kind of sad.
Was there some way to keep that connection alive?
When I returned to the children’s room, I gently stroked the girl’s forehead.
“I know what I’ll do.”
Looking at my sleeping daughter’s face, I came to a decision.
“Your name is Kazuha. Kazuha Elfrieden.”
Wanting to tell Souma right away, I decided to write a letter.
