On June 21, 1201, the demon god Victor will be transferred from the King’s Tiger Division to the Princess Brigade on that day.
It’s just paperwork, a piece of paper, but I’m really grateful that a hero like Victor is under my command.
Well, it’s okay since he moved to the princess’s army, but Victor immediately makes a statement that has hit a nail on the head.
“By the way, what is the Princess’ Brigade called?” (Victor)
“What do you mean?” (Sicily)
Sicily replied.
“No, I mean it as it is. The division I was in was called the King’s Tiger Division, but I was wondering if this brigade had a name.” (Victor)
“There is, We are called the 9th Brigade.” (Sicily)
“It’s the registered name in the army. Doesn’t it have any other name?” (Victor)
“Like an alias…” (Sicily)
“Hmmm”, Princess Sicily thought with her hand on her chin.
“… Actually, I just became this brigade’s commander half a year ago, and they have no particular name.” (Sicily)
“If so, why don’t we decide? It’s better to decide such things early on.” (Victor)
“Really?” (Sicily)
“Yeah. The alias will be officially decided when we become a division, and even if we rush to come up with a new one at that time, we may find that a terrible alias has already taken root.” (Victor)
The other day, a brigade with the nickname of Light Speed was promoted to a division and was named the Light Speed division.
“… It’s definitely not good.” (Sicily)
Thinking about it, Sicily turns to me.
“Leon-sama, could you please name my brigade?” (Sicily)
“A name?”
It is pointed out that I was not enthusiastic about it. Especially when I scratched my head like it’s troublesome.
“Do you not like naming?” (Sicily)
I don’t hate it, but I can’t say that I thought the Light Speed Division was a little cool, so I’ll say I hate it instead.
When I look back at Sicily, I give her the right to name.
“This brigade belongs to the princess. I hope the princess decides the name.”
It is the maid Chloe who objected with it, and she said,
“Leon-sama seems to be the type to have his child named by his wife.” (Chloe)
I sighed.
Well, that’s quite likely, so I dared to choose silence, I waited for Sicily to come up with a good name.
Victor, Chloe, I, and the three gazes focused, and she crossed her arms with a “Hmm.”
After about five minutes of waiting, she murmured, “What a vision, a beautiful woman with a troubled face.”
“Libra Brigade.” (Sicily)
What is that?
What about it.
“Libra Brigade?”
I involuntarily asked back.
“… Is it no good?” (Sicily)
She looked up to me from under her lashes.
“I think it sounds good, but is there any meaning to it?”
Sicily seems to like that word.
“Of course there is.” (Sicily)
She explains.
“There is a legend that the royal family will be saved by the “Magician of Balance” in our time of need.” (Sicily)
“Oh, folklore. I’ve never heard of it.”
“It’s an old tale that is only passed down to the royal family. There must be a book that summarizes the legend in the royal library.” (Sicily)
“I will read it next time. So what kind of person is that Magician of Balance?”
She says the royal family is saved, no, the country will be saved by the Magician of Balance.
She reads aloud a section of the legend from the royal family.
Illuminate this world with great wisdom.
By his wisdom, he will save this nation. By his wisdom, he moves armies to action.
He is called the Magician of Balance.
He will bring harmony between good and evil. And become the mediator of this world.
That was the legend that Sicily knew.
Victor said he remembered that he heard it before.
“I’ve heard it from my grandmother that there is a legendary magician who appears once every hundred years.” (Victor)
“That’s Leon-sama.” (Sicily)
Sicily says, but it seems like it’s quite an exaggeration.
I don’t think I can change the world no matter how hard I try.
Well, I don’t deny it because of the enthusiastic detractors here.
“Then, let’s name our brigade the Libra Brigade after the magician of the Balance.” [T/N: I used Libra instead of the other words synonymous to balance since it sounds the best.]
Sicily sums it up, but if she’s okay with it, that’s fine.
In the first place, the name does not matter to me.
Although the name of the brigade was decided in this way, the Libra Brigade eventually became the Libra Division.
The division would gain the power to reform this country and even change the world, but that was a story for the future.
—Only, it was not so far in the future.
