Chapter 101 - Sword Master and Sword Princess!
"So, next up is the Naming Ceremony~"
As Loki's words fell, the atmosphere in the venue suddenly changed.
The cheers of the gods became even more intense, but some of the gods' expressions suddenly changed.
Tension gradually spread, confronting the malicious laughter from the other side.
This situation brought nasty smiles to those who often attended Denatus.
A farce was about to unfold.
"All the information has been distributed, right? Then let's get started?"
"Let me see, the first one is... the adventurer Tia-chan from Set Familia~"
Along with Loki's announcement, there was a pitiful cry from god Set.
"P-Please, I beg you, please go easy on my child!!!"
However, God Set's humble request only received ruthless replies from other gods.
"Absolutely not!"
This was the 'Naming Ceremony,' where adventurers' aliases were determined.
Aliases like Finn's 'Braver' and Riveria's 'Nine Hell,' given to them after their upgrades, were all decided in Denatus's 'Naming Ceremony.'
This was the second name bestowed by the gods to celebrate the achievements of the children in the lower world.
It was a symbol of power and fame only given to those who had transcended their 'limits' and become high-class adventurers.
It was evidence of the gods' recognition for their strength.
The gods had given countless noble aliases to high-class adventurers unimaginable to ordinary people, and the residents of the mortal world greatly respected and envied these adventurers.
Of course, the above is just a beautiful fantasy about the 'Naming Ceremony' held by mortals from the lower world who don't know the inside story.
In reality...
"Hooh, adventurer Erica Rosaria, alias 'Beautiful Tail but Bad Hand.'"
"Nooooo, whyyyyy?!"
Most of the aliases decided at the 'Naming Ceremony' were just random names given by the bored gods to have some fun.
The names they came up with were arbitrary and did not take the adventurer's characteristics or preferences into consideration at all.
For example, giving a blacksmith an alias like 'Holy Dragon Knight' was not uncommon at all.
The newly promoted adventurers are children painstakingly raised by their gods, and yet they are forcefully burdened with such shameful aliases that either make people laugh out loud or feel extremely awkward.
For the victim gods, there is simply no torture more cruel than this.
Some particularly ill-natured gods would burst into laughter at the irony of them being proud of having a talented child before, only to be heartbroken when that child acquires a bad alias.
It is precisely because of this that they are happy to come up with such weird aliases.
As the host, Loki also put forth some nonchalant suggestions and then conducted a voting process.
Whenever the final alias of an adventurer is announced, the god of the corresponding Familia will basically let out a miserable wail.
The meeting was in full swing, with the gods joyfully tormenting the gods of weak and small Familia and the rookies attending Denatus for the first time.
