A few hours later.
Vivian rested her head on Nathan’s shoulder. She looked at his face with an exhausted smile. "Sorry. I shouldn’t have put you in this situation. Even though I had gathered my resolve, I was still too indecisive to make a decision. I ended up forcing you to make that decision..."
Nathan smiled. There might be a lot of things he couldn’t say, especially about his reincarnation.
But there was one thing he could say to her.
"Back then, I was filled with uncertainty. I didn’t know what would happen in my life. I summoned Fenrir for the first ti and tried to take a step forward.
"Just thinking about it... How could a normal boy, who would scream or even cry when he got hurt, face the cruel fate of a summoner?"
It was true. Nathan was just a modern human who didn’t know the pain and suffering of the people in this kind of world.
He had no skills. The only thing he had was a bunch of stories he had read back on Earth.
"However, my life changed thanks to you. You taught how hard it was to beco a summoner. I could pull any tricks, but it would be useless against an absolute power.
"Thanks to you, I could learn that fact before I even began. I was grateful for all of that. Without you, I couldn’t be here.
"That’s why, please don’t say sorry. Becoming your student was the best decision I had made.
"If you can’t take the final step, it’s fine to rely on . There’s no need to feel ashad or anything, because I, too, won’t be able to do everything by myself.
"You rely on , I rely on you. There’s no sha in such a thing."
"Mhmm..." Vivian closed her eyes, feeling relieved. "I don’t know if it’s all right to request sothing like this, but..."
"But what?"
"Can you change my na?"
"Your na?"
"Yes." Vivian nodded furiously. This would be her first step in getting over her past. "Since I’m marrying into your household, I should change my na to Vivian Reckmoon just like Senior Evelyn.
"I lost my family a long ti ago. I thought I could rebuild the family, but that thought changed slightly after eting my first ntor as well as my second father.
"After losing him, that goal changed again. No, it was more accurate to say the goal had disappeared.
"Just thinking about that goal made feel weak, as it kept reminding about my past.
"I was too weak to do anything, but I don’t want to be like that anymore.
"I want to change. I have been living in the past this whole ti. This may be my first ti taking a step forward."
"Are you sure about this?" Nathan personally didn’t mind if she wanted to change her na. But he thought it was a precious na for her, unlike Evelyn.
"Yes, I’m sure about this. After eting you, my goal has changed again. I believe this will be my final goal." Vivian smiled. "Rather than rebuilding the past, I think I’m going to build my future.
"I want..." Vivian pointed at Nathan’s face. "...to build the future with you. I will make the Reckmoon family perfect."
All the goals she had. All the plans she originally prepared were for the revival of the Lorelei family.
She planned to bring all of that into a new creation.
Rather than rebuild, she chose to create. This ti, from the very beginning.
Nathan listened to her request calmly. He couldn’t help wondering if this was the correct choice.
Evelyn didn’t know the aning of Reckmoon. It was a na that filled Nathan with nightmares.
It reminded him of his abusive father or drug-addicted mother.
At the sa ti, he also wanted to step away from his past. In the end, all that connection only applied to the Earth.
There was no ’Reckmoon’ on this planet. So, this might be a way for him to build sothing that his parents couldn’t.
He wanted to build a family filled with love. He didn’t wish to beco the sa as his abusive father and would beco responsible, unlike his neglectful mother.
To prove it, he would bear that na, showing that opposite things could also happen in the Reckmoon household.
Nathan thought for a mont before agreeing with Vivian. "I understand."
Nathan opened the Soul Contract and started filling everything according to her request.
"Please take a look at the contract."
Vivian didn’t hesitate to bite her thumb and sign it with her print.
The contract turned into a lump of energy that flowed into her body.
"Huu..." Vivian closed her eyes for a mont before calling her own na. "Vivian Lorelei."
Vivian felt a similar loss feeling that she once felt when Evelyn changed her na. In other words, her na had truly changed to Vivian Reckmoon.
"From this day onward, I’m yours." Vivian raised her head and kissed him on the cheek. "Thank you."
"You’re welco." Nathan smiled.
"By the way, have you ever thought about accepting Charlotte?"
"..." Nathan froze. He didn’t know why the topic had suddenly changed to this.
"Even with all her advances, you haven’t gotten closer to Charlotte."
"Well, won’t it be awkward if I go out with Charlotte?" Nathan smiled wryly.
"Ah!" Vivian realized Nathan was just worried about her. It proved Gaia wrong about Nathan’s thoughts. "Still, we are together now. Senior Bella and Senior Evelyn and even Luna are different, but you are very close to other familiars, right?
"Mae, Risa, Brunhild. So, why not include Charlotte as well? I feel bad for her."
"Well, if you don’t mind, there’s no reason for to say no. Why are we even talking about this at this ti?" Nathan smiled wryly.
Vivian looked away, talking in a low, pouty tone. "Well, I’m sorry for being a nerd. I don’t know what to talk about other than that complicated stuff. However, even if I approve... I want you for myself today. Is that alright?"
Nathan’s body shook as he couldn’t help but think, ’My teacher can’t be this cute. Ah, wait. She’s not my teacher anymore.’
Nathan rose. "Who am I to say no?"
