Help, I'm in Another World and All the Men Are So Hot! [BL]-Chapter 292: The Spirit’s Name

"Oh, I see. Now that you mention it, it might actually have some resemblance to me?"

Damien realized what they meant.

Now that he thought about it, the face did look a little like his own.

He could see it in the drooping eyes, which resembled his own.

As Damien processed this, everyone, except Sebas, looked at him with amused smiles.

Huh?

Was there something weird about what he said?

"Basically, that means it looks like a child of you and my younger brother," Elyon concluded with a grin.

...Ah, so that’s what it meant.

If the artificial spirit looked like a mix of him and Elyric...

What is Elyric even doing?

When it was described as a possible "child" of him and Elyric, the artificial spirit suddenly seemed even cuter.

Well, it was already cute because it resembled Elyric, but there was something about it that made Damien feel attached, almost like... 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

For now, he wanted one for each of his lovers.

Ideally, he wanted two of them, for each person.

"Elyon, is it possible to make more of these?"

Elyon seemed to understand exactly what Damien meant, his face shifting to one of realization before he let out a wry smile.

It seemed like the answer was no.

"Normal humans can’t create artificial spirits. Even Theo would probably have a hard time with it," Elyon explained.

It was true; they’d mentioned that an immense amount of magic power was needed to create one.

That’s too bad.

But that was only for "normal humans."

"What about you, Elyon?"

Since Elyric was able to do it, surely Elyon could too, right?

"I could make one, but I absolutely won’t. It’s too embarrassing," Elyon replied, his face turning red as he looked flustered.

Elyon’s blushing was also cute.

But it was a shame he wouldn’t make one for him.

Still, he understood the embarrassment, so it couldn’t be helped.

It was disappointing, but there was nothing to be done.

Very disappointing, but no way around it.

...Maybe he could ask again when things had cooled down a little.

"Alright, stop saying silly things and let’s hurry up and get the registration done."

Right, above all, Damien needed to register the new people who had joined their household.

But how exactly was he supposed to do that?

"Uh, Elyon, how do I register them?"

"Well, first let me give you a quick explanation about this one. This artificial spirit will only respond to commands from the person who activated it. If anyone else activates it, it won’t accept any orders, even if there are other authorized users. You, however, are the exception. You can override all other authorized users and give commands."

"So, what you’re saying is, it’s possible to add more people who can summon this one, right?"

"Yes. Just like with the master key, it’s a little bit inconvenient if only you can summon it. But be careful about granting anyone else the ability to summon it. Whoever can summon it will essentially have almost total control over the mansion, so you need to be cautious about who you trust with such power."

Damien understood.

Even though he trusted his lovers, it wasn’t wise to just give them all the authority right away.

"So, aside from me, I guess Leonide would be the only one?"

Damien felt that Leonide was the only one who could take the role, as he was like the leader among his four subordinates.

"Just Leonide?"

Theo seemed surprised by his answer.

Damien had thought about it a little, too.

"I would have liked for you and Sebas to do it, but, well, this is my household’s matter. I can’t impose on you, can I?"

He felt bad for everyone, but even though he trusted Theo the most and saw Sebas as highly competent, it was a matter concerning the Crowell family, so it couldn’t be helped.

"Oh, no, there’s no problem at all. It’s just that, as Damien said, I thought it wouldn’t be appropriate for us to be involved as outsiders. If you had asked us, I would have refused, so I was surprised. But I’m glad that Damien has made that decision; I’m happy about it," Theo said, smiling gently at Damien.

Damien blushed a little at the kindness in Theo’s smile.

After all, since he was now looking after Augusto, he needed to carry the responsibility as the head of the baron family, even if in name only.

"Well then, let’s go ahead and handle the registration first. Are you okay with that, Leonide?"

"Yes. It’s a heavy responsibility, but if it’s your command, master, I will do it."

Damien was glad that Leonide seemed willing to accept the responsibility.

Leonide was capable, serious, and if he had to choose one of his own subordinates, he would pick Leonide without a doubt.

"Now, for the actual registration process, it will mostly involve verbal communication with the artificial spirit. First, try saying ’Full authority delegate registration.’"

Verbal communication? That was impressive.

"Okay, ’Full authority delegate registration.’"

"The registration of the full authority delegate will begin. Searching for potential delegates... Four candidates are present in the office. Who would you like to delegate authority to?"

Four candidates?

"Uh, Elyon, what does this mean? What should I do?"

"Well, in this case, it’s fine to ask the artificial spirit about that. It won’t break or anything, so feel free to ask."

So, this was like a rehearsal for what was to come.

It was true that he couldn’t keep calling Elyon every time he had a question.

"Okay, then... Oh, right, first of all, what should I call you?"

He realized he didn’t know the spirit’s name.

"I am a support artificial spirit for the master. I do not have a specific name."

No name, huh.

He couldn’t just call it "Artificial Spirit," though.

"Is it okay if I give you a name?"

"Yes, master."

Alright.

Hmm, but a name...

If he were going to name the child of himself and Elyric, it would be a tough decision...
