''Hmm~ This one is pretty nice too, eh?''
''...''
''Being a god doesn't sound so bad, hm? After all, you're able to eat whatever you want like this''
''...''
''Answer. Where is your manner?''
''W-Why are you here...'' Eva timidly said, looking at the man before her nervously.
''What? I can't visit you?''
''N-No, I didn't say that, just... Curious.''
''I'm bored. So I want to do a trivia.'' The man said. ''But doing it alone is boring, so here I am.''
''Why didn't you choose someone else...?''
''Any complain?''
''N-No! I'm honored.''
''I'm glad.'' The man grins.
Earlier, Eva was watching another horribly bad entertaining reality TV show, when suddenly a man appeared in her gazebo.
Instantly, the man complained about how bright her place was, and then he simply changed her pure white space into a star-filled night sky, with a single flick, no less.
She knows this man. Although he looks quite normal, he is actually the 'Highest One' in this universe. No one is able to go against him. But fortunately, he is not a malicious entity, he does no harm to the universe, not yet, at least.
Still, the mere presence of him is enough for Eva, a novice deity, to shiver in fear.
''Alright then.'' The man said, putting down his spoon. ''Today, we will be doing a trivia on our character names. Their origin, my thoughts, things like that.''
''To start with, let's talk about our main character, Sylvia.''
''As you might remember, I created this story on a whim, so I didn't actually plan her after reincarnation name. And, I am bad at naming.''
''So, I decided to borrow the name of a character in a game that I'm currently still playing. Now, I am very much a fan of a game franchise called 'Brown Dust', which consists of two games in total: BD1 and BD2, though BD1 has been renamed as 'Brave Nine'.''
''I stopped playing BD1 a while ago, but I'm still active on BD2. 'Sylvia' Is a 5-star character in BD2 that I really love, so I decided to borrow her name. Here is her from BD2.''
''...Where?'' Eva asked.
''You won't be able to see it, but the people I'm talking to will.'' The man replied. ''Right, your turn next.''
''Eh?! Ah, um... How about Emilia?''
''Right, the name 'Emilia' is just a name that sounded nice to me, nothing special. But, her family name, I did take inspiration from a certain character of a web novel.''
''His name is Dowd Campbell, the main character of 'Fated to Be Loved by Villains'. I love him as a character, he's my favorite male protagonist, so I did this kind of as a tribute to him.''
''Next, I'll talk about Christina and Anastasia all at once.''
''The reason being, both of those names were taken from BD as well. Here you can see Christina from BD1.
And Anastasia from both BD1 and BD2.''
''...It's weird seeing you talking to them like that, you know?''
''Focus on doing your job. And don't talk like you're not weird.''
''Wha- You're interrupt-
''What?''
''I'm sorry, it was nothing.'' Eva does a 90 degrees bow.
''Your turn next.''
''...There's only Raeliana left, no?''
''Right, Raeliana, I'm sure some of you have noticed already, but her name comes from an Otome Isekai that I read: 'Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke's Mansion'.''
''Although the subgenre is filled with garbage, there's still some decent ones. This manhwa is one of my earliest exposure to OI, and in my opinion, one of the best one out there as well. It even got an anime adaptation.''
''The name 'Raeliana' got stuck in my mind since I finished reading it two years ago, so here it is.''
''And I think that's pretty much it. Outside of the main cast, I kinda just randomly named everyone.''
''W-What about me?! Am I not in the main cast??''
''Ah wait, you are. I forgot.''
''Then! How did my name come about?''
''I thought about a woman's name for three seconds, and 'Eva' popped up first.''
'''' ... ''''
''Be honored, your name was the second one I thought of right after Hanako.''
'''' ... ''''
''...Right, how was your day?''
''...I'm doing fine...'' She pouts like a daughter getting scolded by her dad. ''Rather, how are you doing?''
''Me? I recently have a lot of vitamin B and C.''
''...And what do B and C stand for...?''
''Broke. And Capitalism.'' The man said calmly. ''So, I decided to make a Patreon. Would you take the honor?''
The man gives a card to Eva, who reluctantly takes it.
''...Do I really need to read this?''
''Yes.''
''Really?''
''Do you want a 30 days internet ban?''
''I'll read it!'' Eva shouts. ''If you like 'Local Elf' so far, you can support the author on his Patreon, the link is 'patreon.com/Kalliel73'. You can access to 10 advanced chapters on there! Any and all support will be much appreciated! Thank you very much!''
*clap* *clap* *clap*
''Good, good, thank you.'' The man smiles contently.
''...Ugh...''
''So, I think that's all for today. I hope you have a nice time, Eva, as well as my beautiful readers.'' The man said, standing up.
''I'll see you guys around soon, El Psy Kongroo.''
He vanished into nothingness.
Left behind, Eva gazes into the night sky, before letting out a sigh.
''...Finally he's gone... Wait?! My place?? Why didn't he turn it back!''
''Arghhh...''
