Chapter 26 - Names
" Names?!"
The children immediately had their eyes wide opened as they heard Kenji. Did he just say he was going to give them names.
" You're really going to give us names Kenji-sama?" One of the twin girls said with her heart beating rapidly in her chest, almost as if it was going to burst out!
" Yes, you guys need names, I can't let you walk around with a tag saying nameless can I?" Kenji said with a soft smile.
Hearing his words, the children seemed ecstatic, as they began jumping around Kenji in joy.
Finally, after so many years of being with those slave traders, they were finally going to be given names, and be like every other person in this world.
They would no longer need to feel envious at other people for owning names, as they too were about to receive theirs'

Exhilarating!
That was the word. What they were feeling right now was a huge amount of excitement. They couldn't even hide it even if they wanted to. Their cuteness spreading around Kenji like the black plauge, causing him to laugh out loud with a wide smile.
He also felt happy for them. These children had gone through a lot, they have witnessed something they shouldn't have at such a young age.
And so it was his duty to take care of them and steer them onto the right path in life. And hwo was he going to do it, by first of all granting them the most basic necessity; their names!
" Alright, alright, that's enough jumping around for one day; let's begin," He said with both a serious and calm smile.
This was a very important part of their life, so he had to make it perfect. He has to grant them the perfect name!
He then first of all looked to one of the girls, although they were twins, he could guess that she was a few minutes younger than her second half both by character and exppression, she was also the one who had healed him.
Looking at her deeply, the little girl smiled shyly as she wasn't used to someone looking at her like that, as she immediately lowered her head.
Seeing this, Kenji smiled, as he raised his hand and placed it on her head, ruffling her dirty-looking hair," from now on, your name will be: Leia," Kenji said, immediately making the girl blush intensely, as her heart began to race again.
Finally, she has a name.
Her two other siblings looked on in envy, as they also wished that Kenji would give them their own name as quickly as possible!
Seeing the envious glares from the other siblings, Kenji once again smiled, as that amount of cuteness was beginning to feel like he was going to have a heart attack.
* If my heart is already racing due to how they act and look with their immense cuteness when they looked dirty with ragged clothing, how am I meant to feel when I get them cleaned up and get them new dresses. Would I faint?!* Kenji thought in alarm, as he held his chest slightly, as a concerned look appeared on his face. But he also felt a tinge of anticipation.
Suddenly, he felt someone grab his hand, and when he looked to who had grabbed him, he saw the other little girl, the older one of the twins.
" Kenji-sama, you've given my sister a name already, can you give me one also?" She asked, putting on a cute smile, and there it came: the cuteness struck him once more.
She was the most cutest in the three and seemed to have this special charm that reeled him in: It's too much, my heart's going to explode. Maybe this was why they hadn't given them names yet, they were too cute as they heard about to do it!
" Alright, alright, I'll also give you yours now; how about, I call you; Pheia!" Kenji exclaimed with all his might, as he tried to hold himself from fainting due to cuteness.
" Great! I have a name now!" Pheia said in excitement, as she jumped up and down, reflecting the difference between her and her twin. Even if they were twins by physical properties, they definitely were not the same when it came to both reaction to situations and thinking, they were two polar opposites when it came to that.
Kenji then turned his head to the boy, judging by his own look also, he should be around just a year over his little sisters. Even though it's only a year's worth of difference in age, the little ones still respect him immensly and see him as a guiding figure for them, someone they could go to for help and look up to in every situation; like a king.
Kenji looked on at him, and the little boy looked back at Kenji. As their two eyes met, it was already definite; he didn't shy away from anything, and it seems he was ready to protect and take care of the ones he loved, judging by his actions immediately Kenji was hurt.
Kenji crouched down in front of the little boy and said," With the name I shall give you, you must take care of your siblings for as long as you live, and make sure not a thing happens to your loved ones, okay?" Kenji said, and the boy nodded with a resolute and determined filled exppression.
" Alright then, I shall grant you the name of a great king from a story I heard of in the West: Leo! From this day onwards, you are named and will go by the name: Leo ♌!"
Hearing his new name, an inexplainable amount of happiness coursed through his body, as tears welled up on his eyes, but before they could run on to his cheeks, a firm hand cleaned them off.
" There's no need to cry right now, there's only a need to be happy and joyful," Kenji said with a small smile.
And without knowing, the children embraced him in a big hug!
" Thank you Kenji-sama!"
