Manjushage. My parents always called me this, even though they were the ones who had chosen my real name they rarely if not never used it.
Every time I asked what it meant, I got so frustrated because Okasan would only smile and say; "When you're older my little Manjushage when you're older...".
Eventually, I stopped asking, after all, I liked the nickname.
One day, I completely forgot my real name and had to ask Otasan.
He laughed then patted me on the head. "Silly, its Ishimaru Koharu, but you'll always be our Manjushage."
I wish... I wish I could go back...
...To before they died...
