NOVEL SIMPLE 6. Impression.
On the next day...
Wake up in the early morning, Kaito has accepted his situation again (thanks for being bad luck for so many years). Last night, he finally thought of another possible solution to complete his current difficult task. It's actually not a very reliable plan but he got no choice left for him.
After all, Kaito's golden finger wasn't able to help him at all... and even tried to pit him. Either way, he really doesn't want to use that cursed pink chainsaw to complete his task.
He rather kills himself than use that.
Right now, Kaito's plan is to get a good first impression with some of Riser Peerage's members before the training starts, and hope that is enough to gain Riser's approval... At least to some extent.
For that to happen, last night Kaito asked Ravel about the Riser Peerage's situation and how to get along with them.
From what Kaito could gather, it seems all peerage member's activities are different from each other every day.
Some of them like to train, some of them like to play, and others like to read a book or clean the place.
Kaito's first step is to wake up very early than usual to meet the members of the Riser peerage who usually like to train every day at the Phenex training ground. After cleaning himself a bit in the morning, Kaito walked toward the training ground to meet the first peerage member, not counting Ravel.
After going for a while, Finally he arrived at the training ground and immediately recognized the members who currently training there.
A tall young woman with long black hair ponytail with a dark blue tint and brown eyes wearing a pretty sexy outfit should be Siris, who currently engaging in a sword fight with a young woman with brown hair, green eyes, and wearing silver armor should be Karlamine.
*CLANK* *CLANK*
...!!!
Kaito who got no better plan to greet them carefully approached them and said, "Uh...? Hello?"
...!!!
Since there's someone approaching them, both Siris and Karlamine stop their fight and look at Kaito with bewildered expressions.
"Who are you?" Siris asked as she point her sword toward Kaito.
Kaito acting nervously and timidly replied, "Hello... Umm... My name is Kaito. I am the new peerage member of Ravel-sama brother and she said I could train here..."
Siris hearing the Kaito explanation, put down her sword and replied, "Ohh... The new peerage member is here... I was informed by Ravel hime-sama earlier so it shouldn't be wrong."
She sheathed her sword and introduce herself, "My name is Siris, Knight of Riser-sama. This girl opposite me is also Knight, her name is Karlamine. Anyway, quite energetic aren't you? And you also not looking bad either."
Kaito nodded without hesitation and replied, "I want to get stronger."
Karlamine who stands beside Siris also added, "You seem aware of the responsibility and your eyes eager to get stronger. Very good man."
Kaito scratch his back head and answered, "Ahahaha, I mean last night I can't sleep very well. I am concerned whether my king would approve me... And I am also still in the process of accepting my new identity too..."
Siris who seems to understand Kaito's concern asked, "Are you strong? Do you able to fight?"
Kaito nodded and responded, "Compared to senior who does a movement that I can't even see, no... But I was training myself with various martial kids since I was kids so I think I think I am a somewhat decent fighter."
"Then, you should be okay. As long you are not useless, Riser-sama should be able to approve you." Siris commented.
"Indeed. If you are afraid of your weakness, then train more! As members of the Riser-sama peerage, we are free to use this place to train whenever we want." Karlamine followed.
"Then, please teach me how to use my devil power!" Kaito said as he bowed his head toward them.
Seems moved by Kaito's sincerity, both Karlamine, and Siris looking at each other, nodding in tacit understanding.
Siris raises her hand up and tell, "Alright. Raise your head. As your senior, we will teach you how to use your power as the devil."
"I will also teach you how to fight, first we need to know how strong you are. Don't worry, I won't use my sword." Karlamine said.
"Thank you so much!" Kaito 'excitedly' replied.
Sure enough, with the help of both Siris and Karlamine, Kaito was able to learn how to use his new devil body and even learn how to use a devil wing to fly around in the morning.
Both Karlamine and Siris also seem to fully support him and promise to help him persuade Riser to approve him, so Kaito's plan is worked well and his gains, are even much better than he was expected.
For once, Kaito thought that his luck wasn't bad at all.
>>>>>
After training together, Kaito and his senior stop their training in order to eat breakfast together.
All of them have fun chatting together along the way until they arrived at the dining room where 4 other peerage members also waiting for breakfast.
Kaito was also able to recognize them clearly at first glance, thanks to his superb memory ability. Aside from Ravel, there is 2 loli twin with turquoise hair and blue eyes, wearing iconic white gym uniform which should be Ile and Nel. And lastly, on Ravel's right side there is a young girl with blue hair and light brown eyes which should be Mira, another member of Riser Peerage.
"Ah, Kaito! Good morning! How is it, your training with Siris and Karla?" Ravel immediately greet him the moment she saw him.
"Good morning. I learn a lot, Ravel-sama." Kaito humbly replied.
Mira, who has been sitting beside Ravel for a while asked, "Who is this man, Ravel-sama?"
"He is your new colleague! Also, He should be the last member of the Onii-chan peerage set." Ravel explained.
"Huh? Even though he is a man? I thought Riser-sama would reincarnate all girls." Mira commented with clear surprise on her face.
"He looks weak though!" Ile commented.
"I seconded!" Nel, her twin added.
"Well... He was dying and tried to protect me from barbarian humans when I come to the human world, and he didn't know that I was able to protect myself. Onii-sama burned him alive because of misunderstanding and for that mistake, I was begging Onii-sama to revive him in his peerage." Ravel explained while playing with her twirling hair with her finger.
"No No No, it was me who need to thank you. Thanks for giving me a second chance of living, Ravel-sama." Kaito quickly reacted while bowing his head down.
Everyone who listened to Ravel's explanation was astonished by what Kaito did. Even more so, after hearing Kaito respond toward their princess. Meanwhile, Kaito really tried his best to be humble as much as he could, because he need to get a good impression from them, which they actually do.
"Now, you truly earn my respect, boy. I didn't aware that's the circumstances about how you joined us." (Siris)
"Yep. Kaito really acts like a knight, dying to protect others is respectable. You will definitely get my support." (Karlamine)
"We don't understand, but I like you Onii-san." (Ile)
"Well... Not as much as Riser-sama." (Nel)
"I don't understand either, but I will support you too! Even though you are a man." (Mira)
...
"See? You are concerned for nothing, Kaito." Ravel shrugged.
Kaito raise his head and smiled at Ravel. In a matter of hours, it seems Kaito successfully gain 6 members of peerage support... Actually, he didn't expect to be this smooth.
He wondered when his bad luck kicked again... No, Kaito feels he should jinx it. For now, Kaito needs to continue his act to maintain their support.
"T-Thank you so much, everyone!" Kaito once again bowed her head to everyone.
Everyone just smiled warmly hearing what he just said, especially Ravel who is the one bringing him here in the first place.
"Kaito, raise your head. We are colleagues for now. Let's eat breakfast together, shall we?" Ravel said, inviting me to sit at the dining table.
Kaito quickly agrees and then sits beside Ravel. After that, they were having breakfast in harmony until Riser woke up with the rest of his peerage member and walked toward the dining room.
