A girl was working on her summer homework. One assignment asked her to look into the origin of her family name to demonstrate the importance of family bonds.

That was why the girl asked what she did as she helped her father grill on a long stretch of beach that early afternoon.

“Hey, papa. Why are we the Hunters?”

“Probably because we were hunters.”

“You don’t know? Then what was your papa? Do you know that?”

“Well, my papa took on my mama’s last name. He worked at a bank until his alcoholism led him to run a bar.”

“Then what was your mama?”

“She was more the punching type, which you seem to have inherited.”

“Then we aren’t hunters at all.”

“Well… I think there might have been one in my mama’s family’s neighborhood. Yeah, I’m sure of it.”

“Papa, wouldn’t they be a complete stranger?”

“Oh, you’re a clever one, Elsie! Have some meat!”

She did. The problem was how she never got tired of it because he would change the seasonings each time.

He then added on some more meat marinated in the secret family sauce he had developed five years before.

“Hmm, I wonder where the Hunter name came from. Well, that name must only be for show. I love animals, after all.”

“Yeah, they taste so good. God must have been a genius to invent beef and pork.”

Her father held out his hand, so she shook it. She then asked something else.

“Then what about my name Elsie?”

“What do you think?”

“Since I’m short, the kids at school say it’s actually LC and short for ‘lolicon’.”

“That’s some pretty obvious bullying!”

“I make sure to hit them when they do.”

“You don’t use your magic!? Then that’s fine!”

That was apparently fine. At any rate, her father held out some different meat with a knife.

“When you were born, you were really small and your mama was a mathematical witch, right? So she named you Elsie based on Alice in Wonderland. Elsie is an abbreviation of Alice, so she was making sure you could grow big even though you were small. Is that getting into the giantess genre? Well, anyway, she was also hoping you would always come home no matter what might happen.”

“Why is Elsie an abbreviation of Alice? Isn’t it just as long?”

“Do you really think I’d know when I don’t know why we’re the Hunters? Hm? Also, Alice’s author was quite the pedophile, but that has nothing to do with your name so don’t worry if you remember that in the future.”

''I won’t worry, but I didn’t need to know that in the first place, papa. And why are we the Hunters anyway?
