Kena ran out of Ralph's house and reached the village postman's house, out of breath. He knocked on the door like crazy.

"Peek, wake up! This is urgent!"

After a while, the postman, Peek, opened the door with a lantern in his hand.

"What can you do at this late hour?"

Peek had already changed into his pajamas.

"Please send it quickly! It's addressed to King Kratos."

"To the king?! What on earth is this about!?"

"Just give me the letter!"

At that moment, Kana realized he didn't have anything.

"Oh, sorry. Can I borrow some paper and a pen?"

"Yes, please."

Peek invited Kana into his room.

Kena was invited into the living room and borrowed some paper and a pen, and wrote a few words.

"A hero has been born in Suwari Village, Kana."

He folded the paper in half and put it in an envelope.

"Sorry, here!" he said, handing it to Peak.

Peak had already changed, thinking that something was wrong.

"Okay, but the fee will be double."

"I'll pay you three or even four times as much later, thank you."

"I'll be riding alone, so I think we'll arrive in just under two hours. Well then."

Peak ran to the stables in a postman's uniform, which allowed him to pass through the checkpoint without waiting, and mounted his beloved horse and galloped toward the royal castle.

After a while, Kana returned to Ralph's house with a gloomy expression and knocked on the door.

"Where have you been, Kana?"

Ralph asked as he opened the door.

"Is the baby okay?"

"Yes, the other assistant took care of it, and he's asleep now."

"Sorry for jumping out in the middle of the day. Can I see the baby again?"

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

"Yes, that's fine."

And with that, he invited Kana into the bedroom.

The baby had already finished nursing, and was breathing heavily in Emily's arms.

"Thank you, Kana."

Emily expressed her gratitude for the safe birth.

"Can I see the baby for a bit?"

"Yes?"

She approached the sleeping baby and placed her hands over his eyes. She gently opened his eyelids and looked into his eyes.

"It's green after all..."

Kana placed her hand on his forehead.

Ralph asked Kana, who groaned.

"Kana, the hero said something earlier..."

"Ah, you'll know in a few days. That's all I can say for now."

"A hero..."

If his son was a hero, he thought, what an honor it would be. But at the same time, if a hero was born, the existence of a demon king might also appear. Ralph was a little annoyed, but with a sense of responsibility as a parent, he fell asleep in the living room.

Kratos Bilderna, the middle-aged King of Bilderna, was about to go to bed when he saw an express delivery from Suwari Village that had arrived.

"A hero has been born in Suwari Village, Kana."

It was a short message, but it was enough to shake off his drowsiness.

"My God, I can't believe a hero is being born in my generation!"

He hurried back to his office and sat down. He then took out seven pieces of paper from a drawer and put pen to paper.

One piece was addressed to Kana in Suwari Village. Six were for each country.

Early in the morning, Ralph and Emily were thinking of a name for their son. Emily had woken up several times to breastfeed, and Ralph had been helping her, so she was quite sleep-deprived.

It seemed that Belhard was still asleep, so Ralph wanted to make a decision early, before Elga arrived.

"Since Kana-san said he's a hero, how about Niflem, the sword master of the Three Heroes?"

"If you give him a name like that and he's not a hero, he'll lose out."

"Hmm, that's true."

"How about Cornelius, the prince from a fairy tale I know?"

"Cornelius, that sounds like a prince. What if he goes to school and gets bullied?"

"Hmm, that's true."

The two of them were in silence for a while. Then Ralph listed off a few names.

"Bookbarg, Elliot, Castiano, Nika, Endorph..."

"Ah, why not Elliot? He seems polite."

"Really? Then that's it?"

"I think it's good."

"Elliot... Elliot. Yeah, let's go with Elliot. From today on you're Elliot Volcania."

Ralph said, patting Elliot on the head. "I'll go to the village office to register the birth before Elga arrives."

Ralph quickly put on his jacket, put on his sword and went outside.

"Elliot, from today you're Elliot."

Emily called the baby's name with a smile, eyes still closed.

"Oh, Ralph, how is Emily?"

Camille, the village office manager, called out to Ralph, who was waiting alone for the office to open.

"Yes, the baby was born safely last night. Today I'm here to register the birth."

"That's very congratulations. But it's so early in the morning... We still have time, but you're special, Ralph. Please come in."

"Are you sure? Well then, excuse me."

Ralph, who received the birth certificate from Camille, wrote his name, his wife's name, and Elliot's name on the paper. He felt a new sense of responsibility for being a father.
