But because there were too many people in the classroom, making it inconvenient to talk, she waited until after lunch to meet Yura on the rooftop. Once they were alone on the rooftop, Kiryuu adjusted her glasses and stared intently at Yura, as if she already knew everything. Yura, confused by her friend's expression, asked, "What is it, Kiryuu? Why are you looking at me like that? You said you had something to tell me." Kiryuu pouted, pretending to be angry. "Hmph, Yura, you're not being a very good friend. If Kyoya-kun hadn't told me the truth, I wouldn't have known how long you were going to keep this from me." "...." Hearing this, Yura was startled. .... She quickly explained, "I'm sorry, Kiryuu! I was worried that if you knew, you might be in danger. That's why I didn't tell you. Please don't be mad!" "Oh, I'm not talking about the Devil stuff. I'm talking about when you became Kyoya-kun's girlfriend! Why didn't I know about this?" Kiryuu waved her hand dismissively. When she heard that her friend was asking about her relationship with Kyoya, even the usually bold Yura blushed. "Ugh, Kyoya-kun, really! He promised not to reveal it so soon!" Yura mumbled, looking as though she had been through a lot. Seeing Yura's flustered state, Kiryuu grinned mischievously. "Have you two done anything 'ecchi'? Since you're boyfriend and girlfriend, you must have, right? How does it feel?" "Based on my observations, Kyoya-kun's is at least..." Although she was shy, Kiryuu, couldn't resist teasing her friend. She used her "Magic Eyes" to estimate Kyoya's size. Yura was stunned by Kiryuu's question. Then, Yura blushed furiously and retorted, "Kiryuu, what are you talking about!!!" "We just started dating yesterday. How could we possibly have done 'that' already? There's no way!" Kiryuu was a little disappointed that she didn't get the juicy details she was hoping for. But then, remembering that Kyoya had asked her to talk to Yura about her Sacred Gear, and then have Yura bring her to Sona to become a Reincarnated Devil, she quickly told Yura about it. "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. Actually, yesterday, Kyoya-kun saved my life. He also told me that I have a Sacred Gear. He asked me to find you and have you take me to Sona-kaichou to become her peerage member." "!!!" Yura was shocked. She couldn't believe that her best friend was a Sacred Gear wielder. "Is it true, Kiryuu? Do you really have a Sacred Gear?" "Yes, Kyoya-kun told me." Kiryuu said seriously. 'If it's something Kyoya-kun said, then it must be true. This is great! Let's hurry up and find him, then go to the Student Council!' With that, Yura grabbed Kiryuu's hand, intending to find Kyoya. .... .... Soon, Yura arrived at the Student Council room with Kyoya and Kiryuu. Everyone from the Student Council was present, helping Sona with paperwork. They looked up, surprised to see Yura, Kyoya, and an unfamiliar girl. After a moment's hesitation, they greeted him, "Kyoya-kun." But Sona and Tsubaki were confused as to why the other girls seemed so bashful. They didn't think too much about it, assuming it was just because they were happy to see Kyoya. I smiled faintly, then pulled Yura and Kiryuu over to the sofa and sat down. .... "Hmm...? Yura, who is this?" Sona looked at Kiryuu with confusion, then turned to Yura. "Hehe, Kaichou, her name is Aika Kiryuu. She's my best friend. There's an important reason why I brought her here today." Then, Yura explained in detail what Kiryuu had told her on the rooftop. "What?! A Sacred Gear? Kyoya-kun, are you saying that Kiryuu-san has a Sacred Gear within her? Is this true?" Sona's eyes lit up as she scanned Kiryuu, then turned to me excitedly for confirmation. I held Kiryuu's hand and smiled. "That's right. Kiryuu does indeed have a Sacred Gear. That's why I recommended she come to you, Sona. I thought you could make her one of your peerage members." After I confirmed it again, Sona was ecstatic. Since I had recommended her, she would have agreed to take Kiryuu in regardless. And now that she knew Kiryuu had a Sacred Gear, she was even more determined not to let her go. But thinking about how I had recommended such a talented individual to her instead of Rias, she felt a surge of warmth in her heart. Sona's gaze towards me softened considerably. Then, she turned to Kiryuu and asked, "Kiryuu-san, would you consider becoming my Reincarnated Devil?" Kiryuu looked at me, and seeing me nod reassuringly, she replied earnestly, "Yes, Sona-kaichou!" Seeing Kiryuu agree to become Sona's peerage member, the Student Council members all smiled and warmly welcomed her. "That's wonderful! Now our Student Council will have another companion! Congratulations, Kiryuu-san!" Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Kiryuu also relaxed and smiled back, responding to each of them. "Please take care of me from now on!" .... Just then, Sona walked over and took out an Evil Piece, a Pawn. 'Oh, so that's an Evil Piece?' It was the first time I had seen one in this world. After the Great War, many of the 72 Pillars of pure-blooded Devil families had died out. To increase the number of Devils, one of the current Four Great Maous, Ajuka, had developed the Evil Pieces system for Devil reincarnation. But as Sona placed one Pawn piece after another into Kiryuu's body, nothing happened. Sona was surprised. This meant that Kiryuu's aptitude was very high, and her Sacred Gear was very powerful. It looked like I had brought her an incredible gift! But I remained calm. I knew that when Saji was reincarnated, he used four Pawn pieces. Since the [Vritra's Sacred Gears] had been purified by the system, it wouldn't be that far off from Issei's [Boosted Gear], which had used eight Pawn pieces during his reincarnation. .... Finally, after using seven Pawn pieces, Sona successfully reincarnated Kiryuu. Just as Kiryuu officially became Sona's peerage member, the system notification for task completion rang in my mind. [Ding! Task completed. Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Red Grade sign-in gift bag!] But I ignored the system notification for now. The reward wouldn't disappear. "Seven Evil Pieces. Unbelievable... This is the first time I've seen anything like this!" Yura stared at her best friend, in shock. "The Sacred Gear within her must be extraordinary." Tsubaki, beside her, was also visibly moved, looking at Kiryuu with anticipation. Sona smiled at the newly reincarnated Kiryuu. "Kiryuu, try to summon your Sacred Gear. Let's see what kind it is." Hearing Sona's urging, Kiryuu glanced at Kyoya, who was smiling mischievously in the corner, then prepared to summon the Sacred Gear that he had given her ..... ~ If you're interested. you can read 17 advanced chapters : https://p-atreon.com/dragonnx (Just remove the hyphen to access Patreon normally.)
