The Borrowed: Aerium's Breeze, First page (Isekai version)

(4) Fourth objective, The dream he denies - phase 2

Month Ostara,
Whitepale Mansion

Another morning in Aerium.
Though it's gonna be different from today onward.

Now i live in my own house,
With my new family.

*knock knock knock*
"Good morning, Master Yuki.
Here i bring your breakfast."

Hmm seems like she's still awkward toward me. And she still doesn't call me without horrific.

" Yes, you can come in."
"E-excuse me..."

*Kriieeek...*
Her nervousness makes the door's sound as in horror movie.

"Pardon me, s-sir."
"Easy, you're my family from now on.
So you can come into my room anytime."

"N-no sir. That's too ridiculous."

*Sigh*
"Alright, i'll aside this matter this time.
Now you should prepare yourself, we'll go outside."

"Wh-where are we going, sir?"
"Adventurer Guild."

"A-alright, i'll prepare right away."
"Wait a minute, by the way do you have a name?"

"No..i've forgotten my name a long time ago. It's no use having name regarding my situation right now."

The lioness shows a face of someone reminicing their past deep in thought.
There's no sadness or regret, only helplessness.

"As long as i survive, i'm fine with any.."
"That's problem now."

"...names..huh?"

"That helplessness in your face is the problem right now. It's more bothersome since you'll become Adventurer. And we need a decent name."

"W-wha? What d'you mean, sir?"
"As i said before we're going to Adventurer guild to register you."

"M-master..."
"Alright i'll give you a name.
Hmm let's see."

[When Yuki decide it by himself, the lioness seems troubled because a name is a special way to give respect in her hometown, especially from someone strong and respectful.]

Since she is quite muscular, has a talent in physic, quite strong mind but still has a feminine side, i guess that name suits her well.

[That's what Yuki thought.]

"Rhea, how's that sound?"

The lioness just blushing when hear name beautiful name to her ears.
".... R-Rhea.."

"So how is it? From now on, as long as you're with me, you're Rhea."

Rhea, as the name of the lioness, just nod silently with Yuki's suggestion.

"Alright, start to prepare. We'll go in some minutes."

Rhea just nods again. Later she realizes her Master's plan when it's too late.

Street of Southern district

"M-master, are you serious? Am i really going to be adventurer?"

"Of course, it depends on your capability though."

"That's not what i mean."
"What is it then?"

"You know... My situation as.. A slave, and beastmen."

Yuki slowers his step so that his voice can reach Rhea while talking in low tone.

"Regarding the slave matter, Mrs. Rinne assured me that she'll support us. And i have a bit of special relationship with the guild."
