"My Lord!"

Hakurou bowed down gratefully. "Thank you for your benevolence..."

"Are you going to give me a name?"

Kaede naturally didn't want to refuse, but she was worried that it would harm Rin.

After all, her situation was different from Hakurou's.

Before Hakurou received his name, he was only a B+ Rank monster, and the magicules required for naming were only a few thousand.

B Rank to A-Rank, A-Rank to Special A-Rank, Special A-Rank to Demon Lord Seed, two hundred thousand.

But Kaede, don't look at her now with very little magicules left.

However, after inheriting the mountain god's power as an elder of the Tengu Clan, Kaede's magicules had broken through one hundred thousand.

This meant that if Rin wanted to heal her,

At least two hundred thousand magicules would be needed to instantly raise her from her current dangerous state of a few thousand magicules to the level of a Demon Lord Seed.

How could two hundred thousand magicules be given so easily?

Kaede thought Rin was young and impetuous, not understanding the risks involved.

But seeing Rin and the several women present unchanged, she realized that Rin was serious.

"You are Hakurou's wife, and by extension, you are also my subordinate."

In the Cardinal World, there was also the custom that when a woman married, she belonged to her husband's family.

Previously, Kaede had to nurture Momiji and could not stay by Hakurou's side.

Now it was different.

Momiji was already independent, so it was time for Kaede to be with her beloved.

"This..."

Kaede couldn't refuse Rin's statement. "Thank you for your recognition."

She and Hakurou truly loved each other.

So, not to mention the other members of the Tengu Clan, if it was just Kaede herself, she could indeed accept Rin's statement.

"It's just that my abilities are humble, and even with your care, I can't help you much."

Kaede said, "Instead of wasting magicules on me, it would be better to let Hakurou serve you better."

"It has nothing to do with strength or ability."

In response, Rin shook his head. "Since I have the ability, how can I stand by and watch the family of my subordinate lie sick in bed?"

To be honest, Kaede was truly moved by Rin's words.

It wasn't for her ability, nor for the Tengu Clan.

It was because she was Hakurou's wife.

Saving her was for Hakurou's sake, not for any other reason.

"But, but, Mother's illness requires far more than two hundred thousand magicules."

Momiji's body trembled slightly, with excitement and emotion.

But more than that, it was self-reproach and regret.

Kaede's name was given by her parents.

However, Kaede's parents had long passed away, so Rin could name her again.

Momiji, on the other hand, was named by Kaede.

This also meant that to overwrite Kaede's name, all the named monsters under her command would have to be named again.

"I know, so it's not just Elder Kaede, but also Momiji."

Rin said, "I will conduct the naming ceremony for all at once!"

The naming here will not change the two women's names, but rather overwrite them.

Rin's will and power will cover their original true names, thereby establishing a Soul Corridor.

The naming must be agreed upon by both parties.

One-sided desire and forced bestowal are not permissible.

Therefore, for the monsters being named,

Once they accept Rin's naming, it is equivalent to swearing allegiance and they can never betray him.

Magicules are the energy that constitutes monsters.

Giving magicules is equivalent to bestowing flesh and blood.

This is no different from being a parent who regenerates them.

It is precisely because of this relationship that naming is an unbreakable oath between the upper and lower classes of monsters.

"Can, can you really do it?"

Momiji undoubtedly loved her mother.

If the other party could truly save her mother, Momiji would sell herself to him without a single complaint.

"If it were a bit later and your magicules exceeded two hundred thousand, then for me, it would indeed be very stressful."

Rin smiled. "But for now, it's just right."

In the original work, when Momiji appeared, her magicules were not much weaker than those of Carrion.

So, to make her break through her limits again, it would require nearly eight hundred thousand magicules to break through a million in one go.

Adding Kaede's two hundred thousand, that equals one million magicules.

Consuming a million magicules for a newcomer like Momiji, who just joined, the Rimuru group would certainly not agree.

It's hard to say about the future, but at that time, Momiji had made no contributions.

The Tengu Clan was an alliance, not a subjugation.

In such a situation, no matter how kind Rimuru was, it would be difficult for him to proactively suggest treating Elder Kaede's foundational issues.

"Your one hundred thousand, plus Elder Kaede's two hundred thousand, makes three hundred thousand magicules, which I can still provide."

Seeing Rin's confidence, Kaede and Momiji looked at Hakurou in unison.

Hakurou had nothing to say but to bow to Rin.

Tears welled up in the old man's eyes.

To have met a liege like Rin in this life, he had no regrets even if he died.

'Well...'

Watching this scene, Benimaru sighed inwardly.

"Let's begin."

Rin ignored Benimaru's grumbling and said, "Oh, and Hakurou, it's also time for you to get a boost."

"Otherwise, among this family, you'll be the weakest, and that doesn't look good."

"Thank you, my liege."

"Boom!!!"

Thus, under the shroud of Rin's power,

Hakurou, Kaede, and Momiji.

The magicules of the family of three surged, instantly meeting the requirements.

[Kaede]

Race: Kunitsu-Tribe

Magicules: 200,000 EP (Special A-Rank Demon Lord Seed)

Unique Skill: God's Favored One

[Hakurou]

Race: Oni

Magicules: 200,000 EP (Special A-Rank Demon Lord Seed)

Unique Skill: Martial God

[Momiji]

Race: Kunitsu-Tribe

Magicules: 200,000 EP (Special A-Rank Demon Lord Seed)

Unique Skill: Ape Maiden Sovereign

The magicules of the three increased by a total of around five hundred thousand.

Naming them provided Rin with 15% of the magicules, which means a feedback of 75,000 EP.
