While Eiro was getting ready, cleaning his armor a bit while Armodeus fixed some of the biggest and most fatal damages on it, the kids were already brainstorming. Not too long after, they came to a quick consensus that got rid of one part of the issue.

"Obviously, dad's second name is gonna be Jura, right?" Arc said in an obvious, blunt tone. Everyone was quite in agreement, and even Armodeus immediately nodded his head, thinking that this was a good fit as well. It was a good way to make his friend's name live on longer.

"It would be great if that already solved the issue with our last name, but Jura was a commoner, right? He didn't have a last name..." Rudy added, and everyone was quickly back to thinking.

"Personally, I would like something unique, memorable. And something that, at the same time, shows-"

"Right, right, we got it." Arc interrupted Eiro, "You want something that everyone will regard with awe the moment they hear it, right? Then how about... 'Eiro Jura Arccutter'?"

"...You know your name would then be Arc Arccutter, right?" Sammy pointed out with a wry smile, and Arc stared back at her for a moment, "You have a point..."

Arc seemed to be really worried about making a good choice, even though he added obvious jokes into everything here and there. And then he got an idea, that he had to confirm with Eiro, "Dad, are 'Daemons' a thing?" 

"Daemon? Well... Maybe. They're most likely extinct now, and you can only read about them now. They were basically another category of creatures... Like Magic Beasts, Monsters, People, or Spirits. But apparently they came to be in a different way than those other sorts, but nobody knows how exactly. Why do you ask?"

"Well..." Arc said, scratching his cheeks. His siblings didn't know that he was from another world, so he was thinking of another excuse, "In the place I grew up, I read a bit about different myths and legends... And there was a... book comparing Demons to Daemons. And it's like... While Demons are usually wicked or evil, Daemons are their good counterpart to an extent. And that feels like a kinda good fit."

"Hm..." Eiro thought about the idea a bit. He really didn't know much about Daemons... But this was obviously a story from Arc's old world, where the myths and legends often weirdly overlapped with this world. So maybe there was something to it. Any actual doc.u.mentation of what Daemons actually were was somehow destroyed, so everything that is known now was passed on by word of mouth. So maybe it was really like that...

"If that's so, then that might be quite a good idea..." Eiro said, and the others also seemed to agree, "Yeah, definitely!" Clementine exclaimed, "And it does still hint at you being a Demon... It's kinda... erm, poetic?" She suggested, and Arc looked at her with a wry smile.

"Going to school for a month or two, and already speaking like an expert, eh?" He replied, while Sammy simply stared at her brother annoyed, "Stop teasing Clem like that. I think she's right, it is kind of poetic! But we can't just go with 'Daemon', right?"

Arc kept thinking a bit, but before he or anyone else was able to come up with a good idea, Felix turned around his sketchbook to show the coat of arms that he sketched on Eiro's request.

In its center was the outline of a demon's head, with two antlers, eerily similar to Lugo's, sprouting up into the corners of the symbol. The shield-like shape that the demon's head was on showed half of a planet, simplistic landmasses stretching out behind the head. Of course, referencing Eiro's soon-to-be status as 'The World'.

On the inside of the demon-head's outline, a pattern similar to the one that spread out all over Eiro's body could be seen, supposedly shifting into an array of colors the further the lines moved away from the center, to show the many different types of magic that Eiro could control.

At the side of the base coat of arms was one set of wings similar to Eiro's own, and something that looked like his tail twisted around the front.

Of course, this might be a bit too spot-on considering that Eiro wanted to hide the fact he was a monster, but he could probably twist a story about how his ancestors had a history as demon-hunters that he was proud of. And it did still fit with a name following the theme of 'Daemon', which was quite a coincidence since Felix's eyes never moved away from the paper for even a moment.

He didn't need to wait for long, until Eiro looked to the side. The armor was mostly finished being repaired for now, as he wanted to leave a few scuffs here and there to show he just came out of his battle with 'the death'. Eiro donned it again and pressed his hand onto his chest.

Finely manipulating the chaos surrounding him, he added the new coat of arms onto the center of his armor's chest.

"Well, I'd say this looks pretty good." Eiro said with a smirk on his face, and Felix's face immediately turned red. Eiro looked back at him and proceeded to sign, "If you're not fully happy with this yet, the coat of arms doesn't need to be decided on until the official ceremony. So you still have some time to change a few things. But I do like it, personally."

"Oh, and in tune with that, I do also have a suggestion for our family name." Arc exclaimed with a broad grin, "How about-"

Eiro entered the castle once more, this time fused with Bavet. And just to show off a bit more, Nelli, Gondos and Sarius were also floating by his side, and he even had Lugo following right behind him. It's been a while since he went out somewhere with Lugo, beside just to town to get him a bit of exercise of course, since it was far more efficient to simply fly wherever he needed to go. But he figured that, since Lugo was a part of him, he should bring his closest friend with him to a place like this.

Of course Eiro made sure to clean him properly, and Armodeus even worked on some armor for him, using a special dye to color it. The dye was made from some leftover parts of the material he specially created using dragon-scales for Eiro's armor. Through it, Eiro was able to change the color to match his own armor's color whenever he changed it. It wouldn't change properties, since it was mostly made for appearance's sake anyway, but it was a neat little extra.

Eiro stepped through the halls of the castle with these five beings by his side. People of course looked at Eiro a bit weird since he brought a stag along, but the Demon didn't particularly care. He just wanted Lugo to be here for this.

All in all, Eiro was actually quite excited. Even if it wouldn't make that much of a difference in itself, it still made it feel... weirdly acknowledged. That he didn't just do all this here for naught, but that he was slowly being accepted in this world he chose to live in, side by side with the people of this city.

He stepped back into the hall where the main party was being held, past the nobles' servants and right into the mass of nobles themselves, who were all called back from wandering around this part of the castle to be here for this announcement.

Obviously, they were confused why Eiro was here all of a sudden, especially with an animal by his side like that.

But the moment that Eiro entered, Solomon spread out his arms. Charles was right behind him, and so was the queen, surprisingly. Eiro still wasn't sure if he should trust her completely, but then again, she was Solomon's wife. And one that he married out of love, and not diplomacy, as is quite often seen in this world of nobility and royalty. However, that the King, Queen, and Crown Prince were gathered here for this, all standing up with Eiro's arrival showed just how important this was. The Demon stepped up in front of Solomon, who was smiling broadly. 

Eiro leaned in a bit and whispered to him, "I have already chosen a name." Solomon raised his brows surprised before he heard the name Eiro chose, and quickly nodded his head.

He stepped in front of Eiro, and quickly proceeded with his speech.

"This man by my side tonight has just achieved a task we thought to be impossible. He left battle just a few hours ago, a battle with a force that no living being should be able to resist! This man has slain one of the Monster King's servants, a Royal! He has taken the life of 'Death' itself!" Solomon exclaimed, and this hall was immediately filled with gasps of shock. Even Charles and the Queen were surprised to hear this, as Solomon didn't inform those two of this yet either.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #'s-virtue_15238973305579305/eiro-the-baron_52241602592162567 for visiting.

The nobles muttered amongst each other. This time not in a judging manner. Instead, their voices were filled with awe, and quite often disbelief. Which Eiro understood, of course.

"I have verified this fact myself, the current 'Death' is no more! Due to this immense task, henceforth, this man will be named a baron under my authority!" Solomon's voice echoed through the halls, and silence spread through it as he continued.

"The one who overcame death, the one who will certainly become a legend amongst men! History was written today, with the rebirth of this man!"

The air which was filled with silence just before now seemed so thick through curiosity and awe that it felt like one was underwater. Solomon turned around and stepped behind Eiro, placing his hand onto the Demon's shoulder.

"Baron of Skyhart, Eiro Jura Daemonherz!"
