Sitting here, looking around the empty surroundings without any activity, feeling the atmosphere so quiet, I played this crystal ball by rolling it on this table, and Hiyori got mad at me for that.
"Don't make fun of it!"
After a while, Carolin came back with 2 glasses in her hand.
"Here, please."
"Eh, I'll only ask for one, why did you bring two?"
"This is my service to you, Catrine."
"But..."
Seeing her languid expression, I acted and picked up the two glasses.
"Alright, accept it! This is a service, so don't think about it."
"Well, Ryuki knows that. Please enjoy."
"T-Thank you."
Cats are still cats, so it's natural for Hiyori to be shy about cats.
After finishing this beer once upright, and seeing Hiyori drinking the beer with a flushed face, I finally figured out the reason why she wanted to refuse that earlier.
"Hey, you know..."
She's drunk.
"Ryuki, did you know? I'm... love my imouto, but why does she always bring something troublesome to me? Yesterday, she brought the uncles to the house, and now, she brings the uncle's children. Actually, what should I give to make her happy? And again, my father asked me to be a great knight, but I stopped. Ah, so tired…"
I never asked this, what about her parents, are they still alive or not. Therefore, when she said that her father asked her to become a great knight, I fell silent.
"Why are you silent, Ryuki? I want to know from a cold man like you, what should I do? Selling wood doesn't guarantee our lives and yours, so what's best for me? Do I need to be a knight again?"
"No do not!"
"Why not, Ryuki?"
"For me, if you go back to being a knight, you will be judged badly in their eyes. You've already decided to quit, but you're back, that's bad. Don't be so volatile! Don't worry, I have prepared something for your life later."
"Eh. Really? What's that?"
"You want to protect this world, don't you?"
"Of course. The reason I became a knight was that I wanted to protect this world from the greed of the demon lords."
"Good. When you're not drunk, I'll tell you later."
"Why not now?"
"If I tell you now, all my words will be forgotten by you, because you are drunk. Therefore, later. Okay?"
"Ryuki… it turns out that apart from your cold nature, you're also smart. Great, you're so great."
"..."
I can't scold her for her current state. If she was my subordinate, I would have beaten her long ago for speaking carelessly in front of me.
"Add more!"
She raised the glass, even though there was still a lot of beer in the glass, still full.
Unsettled by that, I took the glass and drank the beer straight away.
"If I know this, I'll just drink."
"Ryuki, why did you take my beer? Return! Throw it up now!"
Due to unfavorable conditions, I decided to call Carolin and ask her to hurry up and do what I came here for, make a family name.
"Now, hold this crystal ball and think about your surname, Ryuki-san."
The crystal ball responds when I hold it, glows, and turns white.
"It is indeed your Class E, Ryuki-san."
Ignoring that sentence, I closed my eyes and thought about the surname I would make, according to her instructions.
"Have you come up with a suitable name yet?"
"Yes."
"Hey, what if your surname is Catrine? Good, isn't it?"
That's your family name. Why did you give your family name to me?
"Try to say your surname 3 times. After that, if you believe, this crystal ball will absorb your spiritual energy to become an Heirloom."
I've thought about this, according to my E Level. I name my family is "Valkoinen", which means Pure White.
Mentioning Valkoinen 3 times, convinced by that, I felt something suck my soul into the crystal ball. After a while, when I opened my eyes, I saw a ring was attached to my left ring finger.
"Oh, congratulations, you are now the head of the family. What's your surname?"
"Valkoinen, pure white, true to the colors of my class."
"Nice name, I like that."
Hiyori stuck her thumb right into my face, and I took a bite.
"AWWWW… It hurts so much, why did you bite me, Ryuki?"
"You're noisy."
"Sorry..."
I just sighed, holding back all my emotions.
"That's enough. Now, what's next?"
"There is not any. But, would you like to show me your Heirloom? I'm curious, what kind of heirloom is that? Is it a weapon, or…"
Since she asked for it, I showed her this ring. However, when I showed her this white ring, she looked at me with a flat gaze.
"I mean, it's not like that. Don't you know how to use that?"
Maybe what is meant is that heirlooms that change, can turn into weapons. Therefore, when I showed this ring to her, she was confused.
"No."
"Okay, I'll tell you how to use it. You just need to focus the ring with your spiritual energy. Simply put, you just-"
The sentence was cut short because I was able to make this ring change before she finished the instructions on how to use this Heirloom.
Ever since she spoke, I was focused on this ring, running my thoughts there. And evidently, this ring instantly turned into a thin but long sword, just like a katana sword.
"Oh, it turns out that your Heirloom is a sword. That's great, to the best of your ability."
I know that I can't use magic, and I'm sure she knows that, but she brings it up again with the phrase "to the best of your ability". It shows that she is making fun of me.
But since she has helped me, I shouldn't be emotional with her.
I just sighed and refocused on this katana to transform into a ring, and it worked.
"So that's the system."
I can't stay here too long, I might even get emotional here because of it. Therefore, I stood up and decided to go home.
"Since it's over, let's go home, Hiyori."
"NS! I still want another drink."
"You... You can't drink, but you're forcing yourself. Let's go home now!"
"Reluctant! There's Fred and the kids in the house, it must be really loud in there. That's why I don't want to go home! Anyway, no!"
I dragged Hiyori's tail to go home after thanking Carolin.
This girl is very troublesome. I just put it on the channel.

Somewhere, in a cave so dark and sealed, a red dragon opened its eyes, awakened, and shattered the seal.
"After a long wait, I finally found the right person."
Meanwhile, at the bottom of the deep sea, a blue dragon flew, penetrated the bottom of the very deep sea, emerged from the depths of the sea, and revealed itself to the sky.
"I was bored, and luckily, I found something interesting on the surface."
In a huge tornado, a green dragon was flapping its wings, making the tornado even bigger.
"Look, this wind brings good news. Tell that person my happiness that I will come to him."
A storm was raging across several cities, but above, a yellow dragon was dancing with the lightning.
"Finally, I can stop doing this. Since I find something interesting, I will make that person my toy."
In the forest, a rock in the shape of a dragon shattered, and a brown dragon was roaring like a wolf.
"I am free. In the end, I got my strength back thanks to that person."
And in a land, a black dragon was freed from the chains made by humans. Because of that, the humans became panicked, scattering to run away. And worse, the dragon tore apart and destroyed the land.
"You are only human. All this time you underestimated me and remembered me with this weak chain. I've been living with you guys torturing me because I'm tired of living. But now, I found something interesting. Therefore, as my revenge, all of you are destined to die here. DARK!"
The land was destroyed and simply disappeared into the darkness, with no survivors.
I didn't expect and know this, that by making a surname, I have made the six elemental dragons be attracted to me. They have risen, and their strength has increased. This is dangerous for me because I am being targeted by the dragons. And to make matters worse, a man I brought to Hiyori's house, turned out to be a former servant of the Demon King, whose strength was equal to that of a Demon Lord and has now awakened.
This trivial thing, just making a family name, ended up with the rise of their power.
