"Ah, it's nothing." Shujiro gently lowered the raised Asa to the ground, "I just suddenly remembered something unpleasant."

"I have finished writing all the storylines in the storybook, but there is only one place where I still don't know how to write..."

"A great way to help people remember someone is to give that person a catchy, recognizable nickname."

"For example, Takeda Shingen's nickname is 'The Tiger of Kai', and Uesugi Kenshin's nickname is 'The Dragon of Echigo'... These mighty and elegant nicknames have greatly enhanced the popularity of Takeda Shingen and others."

"I think the titles Tachibana Aoden currently holds are either not bold enough or not smooth enough."

"Like the 'Little Tengu of Kitabanso', it has the courage, but it is too difficult to pronounce, which is not conducive to people's memory."

"So I wanted to give Tachibana Aoden a unique, majestic, and catchy new nickname in my storybook."

"But I never had any good ideas..."

Shujiro let out a long sigh, leaned back, and sat back down in front of his desk.

"Asi, do you have any good suggestions?"

"A nickname..." Asi muttered in a voice that only he could hear clearly, "I don't really understand this kind of thing..."

Asi was about to tell her husband bluntly, "I don't even know a few Chinese characters, so how can I know how to give people nicknames?"

However, at this moment, Asi suddenly noticed the statue of Nioh in his arms...

"...How about 'Nioh'?"

"Um?"

"How about 'Nioh'?"

Aji showed a shy smile, and while repeating what he had just said in a clearer voice, he placed the Nioh statue in his arms on Soujiro's desk.

"'Nioh' is the Vajra Arhat who protects the world... I feel that such a name matches the story and temperament of Tachibana Aoden."

Soujiro looked at the statue of Nioh that Asa placed on the desk with an expressionless expression.

Then he stood up suddenly and grabbed Asi's shoulders with a serious look on his face, which shocked Asi.

"Asi!"

"What, what's wrong?"

"Your proposal... is really great!"

After that, Soujiro let go of Asahi's shoulders, and in a hurry he lay down in front of the desk again, grabbed the brush on the pen holder and a piece of white paper on the corner of the desk, and wrote two large Chinese characters on the paper.

Nioh.
