"Huh?"
"Door..."
"...Mat?"
They look at me with confused expressions.
"That's not really my name,"
Gael whispers under his breath sheepishly.
"What do you mean by team mascot?"
Larien asks, pondering as he glances at the doormat intently.
"Exactly what it implies,"
I start, putting an arm around doormat-kun's shoulder.
"He is our pet from now on."
"Pet?!"
Darius exclaims, giving an awkward look between me and pushover Gael.
"That's obviously a joke right?"
Eleric asks, letting out a nervous chuckle, unsure if he even believes that himself.
"Wow leader, to treat a person like a pet..."
Larien speaks, sending me a somewhat judgmental look, though I'm sure he understands what I mean.
I let out a sigh and correct my speech to something they'll approve.
"As our pet and team mascot, he is naturally also a member of our team."
"Huh?!"
