"It's a plain name, 42-1. And for us Revivians who have reincarnated only recently, they know "Press F" as part of a reference that became a joke. To explain that properly would take a lot of time though... ... However, it is not necessarily a bad name."
"... And good thing we didn't get Team 6. I have reasons to not be okay with such a name."
"Last thing I need are Revivian wannabe ninjas trying to apply to our group because they want to be ninjas while they scream 'dattebayo!' or are complete edgelords."
"... Again, a reference to something that happened in where Revivians lived before getting reincarnated."

1112
"Team F..."
"Team F..."
"Team F..."
"..."
"..."
"Goddamn Team F!"
"Pfffft, that sooooo doesn't fit to us!"

Yliss laughs for a short moment.

"We, a colorful, wild bunch of people from all walks of life. We, people who have flocked around a goddess, something that probably has never happened before. We are so unique in every sense of the word, both positive and negative... And here we are, officially calling ourselves Team F."
"Brilliant... Just brilliant..."

She took a deep breath.

"..."
"... Call me crazy, but that might work to our advantage, even if just temporarily."
"Most of us are, to varying degrees, flamboyant and rather noticeable people, let's not kid ourselves. We showed ourselves like that to Leviathan. That's her impression of us."
"No matter what happens at the race, her husband will be there, and he will report to her at the end of the day. If he announces that we are Team F, there is a possibility that Leviathan will be rather stunned and not believe the husband at first."
"Even if that distraction will only be short-lived, it would give us that much time. Time we need to get to Discordia fast."

With a big smile, Yliss takes her half of the burger and starts eating it.

"Now that's more like how I imagined it!"
"Pretty good..."

Then, Keilee stared at her in a rather weird way.

I know why you look that way, sheep girl. But you're welcome for taking your jealousy to inspire you to have a talk with Blondie~

She continues eating, gently swinging her legs back and forth. It was a calm moment, one of those rare moments where the entire group actually felt like a group, instead of the bunch of wacky squabbling individuals they usually are. Looking at her last bite of the shared half, she softly sighs. After this bite, the group will probably return to their old routines in no time. It is how it is. But letting a burger become cold wouldn't be a solution anyway, so Yliss eats it and closes her eyes for a second.

Then 42-1 returns, proclaiming the "good" news.

"Ah, good, was wondering where you were, 42-1. And you did that? Nice. I tried to register us there earlier, but they wanted..."
"... a group name from me..."

Knowing 42-1, she swiftly jolts around to stare at him.

"Saaaaay, little homunculus butler... What group name did you register us with...?"

1114
"Well, yeah. It's not going to be much if you order a plain hamburger. That's why I went for one with everything on it."
"Oh, there are multiple versions of burgers? I thought it would all be the same, more or less."

Yliss then looks at the stacked burger Keith has.

"Not fair that you gave me such a basic one..."
"Don't you want me to convince that burgers are great? C'mon, gimme a bite of yours, Keith!"

1115
"Time to dig in!"

Yliss starts unwrapping the burger and eating said burger.

"Hmmm... Rather plain... Thought a burger would be more impressive, given how Americans are so serious about their burgers."

She shrugs.

"Eh, whatever. Some first times simply aren't that great, that's life."

1116
"Just a form of voluntary monetary compensation from customers to service workers for a job well done."
"Where this tall dude comes from, tipping is widespread and pretty much expected."

She leans in on the service girl to speak in a more hushed voice.

"... That's because service workers there get shit pay."

Yliss then returns to the group, awaiting the well-earned burger.

1117
"Oh, what? A tip?"

She looks to the serving girl.

"Sorry, where I come from, tipping isn't common. But if you are allowed to get tipped, I would give you something for the trouble. Just need you to tell me what amount would be realistic. I'm thinking... between three and six?"

Ah, the culture clash of US-American and Japanese people regarding the service area.

1118
"Also...where's 42-1 gone? I noticed him missing."
"Beats me and I don't really care at the moment. He'll be nearby and he won't do any harm. Worst thing he has done so far is leading sheepish girls in our direction and that has actually helped us. Twice."
"Right now, I'm more worried about how much I owe Keith for the food. Gimme the tab, Wolfhound!"

1119
"Oh, Nacho Pugis! Mind if I take one or two?"

Largo steps a bit closer to Xerxe.

1120
Yliss looks to her fellow Revivians, then to the others.

"It is true that Revivians often choose a different name when they reincarnate..."
"But I wasn't in the mood for a different name. I'm not one of those chuunibyou after al - basically delusional people, to those who didn't know. New life, granted a wish, so I wished for something and thought I could just have a carefree life thanks to that wish."
"... I only came up with a fake name because my wish got messed up."

Then Keith and Jarvis got into a surprisingly in-depth discussion about wrestling.

Whoa.
"You gave some good pointers there, Jarvis. Scouting gladiators for something that is essentially arena fighting with blood replaced by spectacle could be worthwhile."
"If you're still interested when we're done with this whole thing and Keith and I have set up a wrestling federation in this world, pretty sure we could arrange a seat for you for the debut show so you can see with your own eyes what wrestling is."

1121
Yliss looks in Momotarou's direction.

"Right..."
"There's that, huh..."

She took a deep breath.

"I... trust you, guys."
"Yliss Wander... is not my real name... I'm sorry that I have deceived you for so long."
"Goddesses, that feels awkward as heck now that I've said it..."

1122
"... How about the Wild Wanderers? Because that's what we basically are while under Serena's contract, a wild bunch of people from all sorts of backgrounds wandering through the entirety of Generia, including its wilder places?"

1123
"Indeed, it is obvious. And that's exactly why we won't take your name as part of the group's name so the Generals can't identify our presence merely through that."
"So far, we have... Wolfpack, AquaMiracle, Barrier Breakers... Err, what was it again... Chaos Crushers... Rainbow Revengers... ... Something toenail-related... Divine Guardians... Doombakers... ... Really, it becomes more bottom-of-the-barrel towards the end."
"If we continue like that, we'll end up naming our group after the burgers we're about to eat soon."

1124
"Actually, since we haven't used a group name so far, I was thinking about using something that doesn't directly relate to us as belonging to Serena's group. We're unlikely to use the group name again in the near future, so having one that doesn't stick out from the other adventurer groups could help with keeping the Generals off our backs in case we need to use our group name again."
"... Furthermore, 'Aqua' is Latin for water. Latin is a dead yet popular language from the world us Revivians came from. Sure, it's a bit of Serena pandering, but let's be honest, this group only exists because of her and once we got our money, this group will get disbanded anyway, so her and her money is the glue that keeps all of us together."
"But the actual reason for using Latin for our name is that, if the Generals or their lackeys can identify us by group name alone, that would be confirmation there's a Revivian in their inner circle. Fishing for information, so to speak. The General targeting us already expects us here based on what we know from Sitri, so it's not like our group name would be in danger... I think."
"... Of course, I could try to use a different Latin word from what little I remember."

Yliss seems to think for a moment.

"Barrier Breakers is also fine for me though, even if it makes us stick out."

1125
"Nnnnnnnnoooooooooooo..."
"And I thought AquaMiracle would be the worst suggestion for this group..."
