It's actually different compared to the first nine original members of the Nine's own goal in the original story.
I was worried that it might slightly affect the future events that are supposed to happen, but after a quick brainstorming to myself, I just shrugged it off and decided not to worry about it too much.
•••
When our clan hit nine members, I was like, "Hey, let's give our crew a cool name!" I mean, we might be small in numbers, but when it comes to firepower, we're like a hidden gem. With Touch Me and me packing some serious punch, we're basically the Avengers of Yggdrasil.
When I first joined Touch Me's crew, it was more like a ragtag group of misfits than a proper clan. But now, with enough members to make it official, the question of what to call ourselves popped up.
"How about... The Guardians of Virtue?" Touch Me proposed, his eyes sparkling with enthusiasm.
Ulbert's mocking laughter echoed through the forest, punctuating his disdain for Touch Me's suggestion. "Guardians of Virtue—seriously?" he exclaimed, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "What are you, a kindergarten student with a hero complex?"
Touch Me remained remarkably composed in the face of Ulbert's mockery, his expression unfazed. "Well, if you think you're such an expert, Goat Face, why don't you suggest a name?" he challenged, his tone laced with playful sarcasm.
Ulbert's eyes gleamed mischievously as he accepted the challenge. "Oh, I'll come up with something much better than that," he declared confidently, rubbing his hands together in anticipation.
I couldn't help but interject with a teasing remark of my own. "Let's hope it's not something like 'Dark Lords of Doom' or 'Evil Incarnate'," I quipped, earning a chuckle from Touch Me and a playful glare from Ulbert.
As Ulbert pondered, I couldn't resist adding fuel to the fire. "Or how about 'The Brotherhood of Bad Haircuts'?" I suggested with a grin, earning a snort of laughter from clan members and a mock scowl from Ulbert.
"Hey, my hair is magnificent," Ulbert retorted, running a hand through his wild locks with exaggerated pride. "But I'll have you know, my naming skills are equally impressive."
With a dramatic flourish, Ulbert cleared his throat and announced, "Behold, the ultimate clan name: 'The League of Extraordinary Villains'."
Touch Me raised an eyebrow, his lips twitching with suppressed amusement. "Ah, yes, because nothing strikes fear into the hearts of our enemies like the word 'villains'," he remarked dryly.
Ulbert shrugged, undeterred by the skepticism. "Hey, it's all about branding," he insisted. "Plus, it has a certain ring to it, don't you think?"
I couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of it all. "Well, if our goal is to strike fear into the hearts of our enemies, I suppose 'The League of Mediocre Miscreants' just wouldn't cut it," I joked, earning a chuckle from Clan and a playful shove from Ulbert.
As the banter continued, Nishikienrai, chimed in with a suggestion of his own. "How about 'Nine's Ooal Gown'?" he proposed, his voice carrying a hint of mischief.
Hearing that name, a wide smile formed behind my face, as it was the name I was waiting to hear.
I was worried that nobody was going to mention it, and I would need to do it myself. But it seems my worry was unnecessary.
Touch Me nodded in agreement, his eyes alight with approval. "I like it," he remarked, his voice carrying a note of satisfaction. "It's simple, yet it carries a sense of unity and strength."
Ulbert raised an eyebrow, a smirk tugging at the corners of his lips. "Well, it's certainly better than some of the other suggestions we've heard," he admitted, shooting a playful glance in my direction.
I couldn't help but laugh, feeling a sense of pride,"I couldn't agree more," I replied, nodding in approval.
"I'm all for it," Warrior Takemikazuchi declared, his voice firm with conviction.
Amanomahitotsu, always the stoic one, simply nodded in approval, his silent agreement echoing throughout the group.
Wish III, the newest addition to our ranks, offered a smile of approval. "Sounds good to me," they chimed in, their enthusiasm evident.
Momonga also voiced his support. "I like it," he said with a nod, clearly pleased with the choice.
Blue Planet, ever the diplomatic one, added his endorsement as well. "I'm on board with Nine's Ooal Gown," he affirmed, his tone confident.
With every member of our clan in agreement, it was clear that Nishikienrai's suggestion had struck a chord with each of us. And so, with unanimous approval, our clan had found its name.
"Now, what we now need to know is; Among you two, who is going to be the leader of the clan," Blue Planet asked, turning to me and Touch Me, his expression expectant.
I couldn't help but glance at Touch Me, a mischievous twinkle in my eye. "Well, since I'm clearly the brains of this operation," I began, earning a playful roll of the eyes from Touch Me, "and he's the brawn," I added, gesturing towards him with a grin, "I suppose that makes me the natural choice for leader."
Touch Me scoffed playfully. "Oh, please. We all know I'm the one with the heroic good looks and charming charisma," he retorted, flashing me a smirk.
I couldn't resist a chuckle at his response. "Well, I suppose we could always settle this the old-fashioned way—with a game of rock-paper-scissors," I suggested, raising an eyebrow in challenge.
Touch Me grinned, accepting the challenge with a nod. "You're on," he agreed, holding out his fist in preparation.
In a surprising turn of events, Touch Me emerged victorious, his hand forming a triumphant rock as my scissor lay defeated.
But to my surprise, instead of claiming the title of leader for himself, he turned to me with a determined expression.
"Alexander, you should be the leader," he insisted, his voice earnest.
I blinked in astonishment at his unexpected offer. "But you won fair and square," I protested, shaking my head in disbelief.
Touch Me shook his head firmly. "You're the one with the vision and the strategy," he explained. "I trust your judgment, and I know you'll lead our clan with wisdom and integrity."
I couldn't help but feel touched by his words. "Thank you, Touch Me," I said sincerely, feeling a swell of gratitude towards my friend.
"But," I added, holding up a finger, "if there ever comes a time when we're of the same mind about who should lead, then I'll gladly take on the role."
