“Mike”

Akane might be considered a “boring” person to some people’s standards.
I’m sure to those people my naming abilities are repulsive, to say the least.

 

– Takaya, that’s a name you would give to a cat.
Your pet is a wolf.
You know, something more akin to a dog.

 

– I know, but I couldn’t come up with anything better.

 

I actually gave it some serious thought.
I even thought about “Pochi”, which is a bit more dog-like.

 

That was a popular name back in the old world.

 

Even if it’s basic, I thought she’d like it.

 

But then it hit me.

 

She’s a girl.

 

Pochi is a name for male dogs.

 

It would be awful of me to name her that.

So I kept thinking.

 

If not Pochi, what else?

 

I’ve seen dogs named foreigner things like John and Mary.
The mental image I have is them walking around the city with their poop hanging from behind.
I don’t think that applies to this girl.

 

With such stupidities in mind, I finally realized.

 

“Ah, of course.
Mike!”

 

Mike would be perfect.
It’s not something bad, and it fits a girl.

 

So I decided to go with that.

 

It wasn’t until Akane mentioned it that I realized “Mike” is more of a cat name.

 

– Takaya… You are… Very disappointing.

 

– I completely understand.

I was about to ask Akane to choose a name herself.

 

– Mike… Is that my name?

 

– Yes.
Well, we haven’t decided yet.

 

But the dog herself seemed pretty happy about it.

 

– Mike… Mi ke… I like it.
If the master chose it, then I like it.
Mike.

 

– You like it?

 

– Yeah!

 

Her face had a wide smile.

 

I hadn’t noticed, but her tail is wagging and her ears are folding and opening in excitement.

 

I thought I was jumping the gun, but it seems like we found the perfect name.

Mike, the wolf, totally not a cat.

 

– By the way, Akane-san.

 

– What now?

 

– I was wondering what name you would’ve given her.

 

I wanted to know what magnificent names she could’ve come up with.

 

– Why are you asking? We’ve already moved on from the topic.

 

– No no, madame.
You said I was a disappointment, so I would like to know what your idea was.
I need samples to learn, after all.

 

– Gh…

 

– Well then, Akane-san?

 

– FINE.
You get so hung up on such pointless matters.

Akane turned to Mike and frowned.

 

It took her some time, but she eventually muttered:

 

– Uhh… Perhaps… Pomegranate.

 

– Pomegranate? (Takaya)

 

– … (Takaya & Mike)

 

Complete silence.

 

– Whatever! We’re done with this conversation!

 

– …Sure.

 

– You two are weird, haha.
(Mike)

 

Mike, the wolf girl we nursed back to normal, laughed at the two apprentices.
