How To Survive In The World DxD With Fragment Memories
Chapter 99
Masaru watches how Riser his will to stand, "That is what happens when a noble child becomes useless, now he is simply a child of Lord Phenex but have no power as a noble..." Masaru muttered, he did not feel a thing when he watches Riser, not at all. He believes it was about time the Noble House made their move to teach the child a lesson so he will be an example for the others. "You arranged this haven''t you?" Sona asked looking at the scene as she never would have imagined seeing such a scene play in front of her, it was really too shocking.
"I only told the parents they have been forcing their ideals on their children and the other was a bit too lenient with his rampant son that does nothing but destroy their family image and it reflects on mine since we have a business with them" Masaru spoke nonchalantly about this issue since he believe it was finally over, "Well with this Rias is free, I have fewer problems to deal with now that the event is over. And you can finally get some sleep Sona" Sona looked at Masaru with surprise, she hid the fact she had sleepless nights over this situation as she was really worried about Rias, she was scared Rias might lose control and commit suicide to protect her pride as a woman.
"How?" Masaru smiled warmly looking at the projection for the Rating Game shutting down, "Who is playing the most chess against you, the first rule of winning chess is to observe not only the moves your opponent makes but your opponent as well" Masaru answered standing up together with his peerage taking their leave, there was no longer any need for him to watch over this anymore, Sona was really shocked, even blushing a bit when she recalled he told her he was observing her closely. "Ahem! Sona Kaichou, we have to work that needs our attention" Tsubaki spoke to save her King from embarrassing herself in front of her peerage, Saji who saw this grits his teeth tightly thinking his competition to earn Sona''s affection is too strong.
"Yes, everyone let''s move out" Sona spoke strictly while adjusting her glasses, she even scolded herself for allowing her heart to flutter like that.

"Lord Sirzech, the rating game space has been reset thanks to Ajuka''s staff" Grayfia reported to Sirzech who was currently just leaning against his chair, he was relieved that everything went better than he prepared for since he made sure to have a back up plan using the Red Dragon Emperor Host, Issei Hyoudou for his next plan if Rias were to fail the match.
"Can you get the information about the potions Rias and her team used during the games if those are effective as we saw then we can start saving up the phoenix tears for our real battles and use these potions for Rating Games." Sirzech looked at Grayfia who nodded before disappearing, Sirzech gently ??r?sses his chin as he thought about the boy who refused to get involved but in the end still gotten involved. ''Wonder how I should reward him for helping me?''
/
"To think the boy already created something that can replace the Phoenix Tears in Rating Games" Lord Phenex spoke while he was reading the Rating Game report he gotten, the new potions were groundbreaking as they could replace the Phoenix tears in the games allowing the Phenex Family to supply more phoenix tears for the army who is fighting to defend their borders. "Father... Uhm" Ravel spoke hesitatingly
"What is it, Ravel?" Lord Phenex looked at his daughter full of affection but it soon cramps up, "I want to meet with the Red Dragon Emperor boy" He was not certain how to take his daughter''s request, "You can meet him at the Young Noble Gatherings that is in two months time" Lady Phenex answered in her husband''s place causing the poor old man to wonder just what did that dragon do to his daughter.
/
Masaru just arrived home when he saw Grayfia was currently drinking tea together with Diana, "I''m Home" He muttered allowing the two ladies to look towards him, the girls went on ahead to get washed so he could talk with Grayfia who was here for him. "Apologies for disturbing you right after the rating game but I came by orders of Sirzech-sama" Masaru nodded taking his seat opposite of her.
"Is it possible if you can share the information about the potions with us?" Masaru shook his head, "I can allow you to see it in action, but the recipe will remain mine. No Offence but the Phenex Family has complete monopolization over Phoenix Tears and to combat them, I need to keep the recipe for our use... Phenex can support the Military and the Belial will support the Rating Game since my father is the Emperor of Rating Games after all" Grayfia sighed as she knew getting the recipe will be impossible but to inspect the potion itself will naturally allow them to at least know the effectiveness of it, "I can at least guarantee that Ajuka knows of this potion and will vouch for me if that can put you at ease"
Grayfia nodded as this will put her at ease, the leading figure of the Research for the Devils were naturally Ajuka so having him approved of it meant it was absolute. "I appreciate the endeavours you have accomplished for the sake of the devils, thank you" Masaru shook his hand to say it was fine, having the queen of a Satan bow to him was more stressful than thanks. Once Grafia left, the family had their dinner.

The next day during school break time Akeno was currently chatting with Rias who called her over to talk about something which appeared to be important from the manner Rias was acting, "Akeno, how do you handle it? Sharing Masaru with the other girls?" Akeno was taken aback by this question at first she was suspicious about this question as she thought Rias might have feelings for Masaru but that was not the case so she felt relieved, "And why would you ask this of me? Rias did something happen?"
Rias blushed lightly while fidgetting a bit before whispering in Akeno''s ears, Akeno''s eyes widen from the surprise she just received. "You--- really feel for him that way!?" Rias nodded, Akeno sighed thinking her friend was growing up although the partner in choice was a bit questionable but at least better than her previous one."Well, to answer your question it is hard to handle it, the envy of seeing Masaru together with the other girls. I want to keep him to myself, but the girls too feel the same way I do but Masaru would not let any of us go for anyone. He treats us equally, and spoils us in the manner we wish to be spoiled"
"The question would be for you, is he worth it? To share?" Akeno looked at her friend who was not used to having a real love relationship as she continued, "At the beginning, it''s hard at the time to endure but at times it easy, any relationship is not always moon and flowers as it is about finding the middle point that connects both sides equally. In this case, Masaru is the middle point for all of us, so it is our task to get along with one another while it is Masaru''s task to love us all equally... Which is how it is right now... We already found the centre that allowed us to live in harmony"
"What would that be?" Rias looked at Akeno who smiled, "Masaru will never choose a first wife or second because he believes we girls are all equal, however, in order to allow us girls to vent our frustration of envy we hold a competition of our own without Masaru knowing so we can decide who is the #1 girl for the day to get first spoilt by Masaru for the week" Rias was a bit confused, Akeno giggled, "When you start dating him you will naturally come to understand everything I just told you as it will help you greatly... In these kinds of situations" Sudden the girls could hear Issei scream "How Unfair!"
/ Little rewind to just as Akeno and Rias began chatting
"Barold I have checked your match in the Rating Game, your weakness is quite similar to how it was for Everest, your strong power and Defence in your dragon form is perfect but without speed to touch your opponent you will naturally be toyed with" Masaru was moving fast around Barold using Trackless steps to disappear and reappear at strange places, "Your power over dragons, can''t you use those to temporary boost your senses like your eyes and ears to that of a dragon? or the feeling of touch? If you can increase these you can then predict where your opponent is heading if you trained it hard enough" Barold who heard this possibility began to close his eyes, he never done this before but since Masaru was moving around him this was the best training he could ever ask for.
"Kiba, what is Masaru talking about? I can understand some things but some I can''t" Issei spoke to Yuuto who was seriously listening to Masaru''s teach Barold, "Issei, your weakness is quite many... the time it takes for you to reach max boost, your defence, your battle techniques... What Masaru is doing right now is pointing at Barold''s weakness and gives him a suggestion to improve himself" Issei nodded thinking hard about his weaknesses, there was simply too many! He can only train hard with guts.
Barold however although it was subtle he could start to feel and hear the movements of Masaru around him since his eyes were closed, but Masaru stopped in front of him tapping his shoulder, "That will be all for today, you finally found it right?" Barold nodded, he found a way to improve his abilities. "Thanks, Masaru" Masaru smirked "No need for thanks" He turned around leaving the Gremory peerage behind as he got a date with Angelica today, "Where is he going?" Issei asks Barold, "He is off for a date" Issei grip his head screaming to the skies "How unfair!"
/
"You look quite attractive with your school uniform on, we should have dated with it one a long time ago" Masaru Lamented feeling this girl really looks beautiful in her academy uniform no matter how many times he looks at it, "Thank you, sorry for keeping you waiting" Angelica spoke while hooking her arms around his left arm leaning against him, "Since I promised to take you on a date I naturally prepared to take you to the right place" Masaru and Angelica went into one of the less active streets making sure there was no one around before they teleported away.
The smell of salty winds blew against their faces, the sounds of crashing waves and cries of the flying seagulls. It was Bergen, the city of Norway near the harbour which was the location Masaru promised to take Angelica to at least once. Angelica was quite happy with the surprise that she gave Masaru a kiss of his cheeks while walking excitedly looking at the buildings, the floating boats and even at the people that were walking around. ''She really is cute this way'' Masaru thought as he followed her around, but suddenly Masaru operated his Demon Energy and Ki palm striking the head of an old man that came quite fast to touch Angelica''s bu?? however he failed miserably as he miscalculated Masaru''s strength.
BOOM! The old man crashed into the sea with Masaru looking down into the sea as he could sense this old man was still alive, he pulled Angelica into his embrace when he felt the old man teleported nearby facing them. "Hoho, it seems your quite a feisty one keeping such a beautiful girl to yourself" Masaru naturally knew this pervert, he was lucky he managed to send this old man flying considering how strong he really is. "Odin, I understand you like girls but try to keep your hands from what is mine" Masaru spoke, "So you do know of me huh? Oh yeah, I remember you being here before" Odin nods
"Odin! You went and tried to harass another girl!" Rossweisse scolded Odin for a while when she was about to apologize Angelica touched her mouth remembering this girl "The pitiful valkyrie" Rossweisse who heard this felt offended but first wanted to know where this title comes from but Angelica continued before she could ask, "Without a boyfriend" Masaru lightly chopped Angelica''s head while Rosseweisse was already breaking into tears, "Sorry about that, I had to share some memories of this place with my peerage which is why they know of you two" Masaru bowed politely.
Odin ??r?sses his bead feeling quite intrigued with this boy, "Your quite interesting, I heard a lot about you from Azazel boy" Hearing this Masaru could naturally understand the hidden meaning behind his words, "I will be sure to pay you back as compensation but my girls are off-limits" Odin who heard that lamented but Masaru knew this sly old fox was bloody happy, "I will be sure to use it soon boy, so when I do I look forward to the time we will spend together" Masaru coughed "Please don''t make it sound like a date old man, I''m straight"
Odin almost floored when he heard what Masaru said, he was shocked, then became angry then screamed "I prefer girls with big br??sts! I have no likes for males! NONE! WHAT! SO! EVER!" Masaru nodded and pointed at Rossweisse "No wonder she is your secretary" Rossweisse who heard this covered her clothed br??sts walking away from Odin who felt wronged, but nothing he said could change it for the better because of what he declared. "But then again, make sure to give me a heads up old man, I will be sure to help out" Masaru waved while leading Angelica away for their date.
"Odin, who is that boy" Odin ??r?sses his beard finding the conversation he had with the boy to be truly amusing for his long life, "He is the package Azazel and Sirzech arranged for us" Rossweisse naturally understood what this meant, the previous events that occurred allowing them to know of Loki''s attempt to start Ragnarok was this boy, ''he does look quite handsome... NO no no no! What the hell are you thinking Rossweisse! He already has a girl and a beautiful one at that'' Rossweisse gripped her head trying to shake off her fantasy, Odin, however, smiled meaningfully.
"Table for two?" The Waitress asks Masaru and Angelica who just came to the nearest cafe to eat a snack before they head back home, "Yes please" Masaru answer and follows the waitress into the cafe where they took their seat near a window, "Was that Odin?" Angelica asked feeling quite shocked at how perverted that old man really was in front of him, Masaru simply laughed it off, "Yes, he lived a very long life so he would naturally do things o make it more interesting for him but don''t worry he won''t cross the line other than raising your skirt or blatantly stare at your br??sts" Masaru could only smile wryly, he was not at the level to handle that old man so he will only be able to endure it for now and later pay him back for each and every attempt he did.
"Thank you for bringing me here today" Angelica smiled sweetly towards Masaru who was currently taking a sip of his cold drink, "It''s my p???sur?, since seeing you smile so beautiful is more than enough a reward for me" Angelica blushed lightly looking out the window, this place was truly amazing, it was different from the atmosphere of Japan especially how the buildings are designed is really similar to a fishermen town near the harbour but suddenly a high tech Modern City in the centre. After enjoying their snacks Angelica and Masaru walked along with the harbour allowing Angelica to enjoy the scenery to her heart''s content, however, Masaru pulled her into his embrace and kissed her lightly at first before Angelica kiss him deeper since she felt really happy. To travel around places.

When the date was over Masaru and Angelica teleported back but they came across a problem, although it was not a problem for Masaru but it would be a problem for Rias. In front of him were two girls wearing shaggy robes, the girl on this left was a young woman with chin-length blue hair with a dyed green fringe on the right side, brown eyes, underneath the shaggy robe was a voluptuous body wearing a black, skin-tight, short sleeve leotard with pauldrons, matching fingerless gloves that extend to her biceps, and th??h-high boots, all of which are adorned with straps.
On the right was another young woman with violet eyes, long ?h?stnut hair tied into twin tails, each held with a blue scrunchy, she is wearing the similar outfit as the girl on the right including the both of their swords are covered in white cloth to prevent it from exposure to the public eys. According to his information from his spies, this was Xenovia Quarta and Irina Shidou, he was particularly a bit repulsed at Shidou not because of her but because of her father who tried to kill his aunt and uncle-in-law.
"What is the two promising exorcists of the Church doing in this town without meeting the Lord of this Territory?" Xenovia took a battle-ready stance looking at Masaru with a serious expression, she knew of him from the information they were given and he was marked as a target not to be antagonized, Irina looked at Masaru quite curiously as she noticed he held no killing intent and simply wanted to know why they are there. "We were trying to gather donation for my journey funds from the people but no one has faith! Oh God please forgive these ignorant peons!" Irina grips her cross necklace praying while Masaru looked at her as if he was looking at an idiot.
"You do know donations are only given out of the free will, not demanded? Do you even know what donation means?" Irina pouted as she declared proudly "Of course I know, I previously lived here in Japan. Donations mean giving money so God can bless them and forgive them" Masaru nodded with a serious expression, "So if I kill that old lady there, and pay you then will I be forgiven?" Hearing this question Irina was stumped, how to answer this was difficult. Since she was not occupied in trying to find the answer Masaru looked at Xenovia.
"Now why are you two here?" Xenovia relaxed her guard a bit but was still vigilant, "The Excaliburs of the church was stolen by Kokkabiel and a few of his lackeys, we have followed them up to here and is currently searching for them" Masaru rubbed his forehead, "Let me guess, you have no idea where only know that is in this town... So you intend to search the whole town while asking every single person for donation for your church?" Xenovia nodded "Yes" Masaru felt he simply could not believe was he just heard ''My god!'' He felt a headache but the shock was much bigger.
"I suggest you two go meet Rias Gremory first and tell her of your mission to avoid misunderstandings... Also, try to keep those swords hidden as there is someone in her peerage that will try to break it" Xenovia felt she heard a real joke, "Break? That is impossible unless we are dealing with a real strong monster" Masaru only shook his head, he gave the two poor pitiful girls some money to help them get by before leaving, Irina just snapped out of her stupor "No, can''t forgive it. Killing is bad! huh? Where did he go?" Xenovia looked at her friend who took a while to get her answer and sighed, "He already left, he gave us some money and we need to go meet with that Devil King''s sister, Rias Gremory" Irina nods, "Yeah! But when I meet him I will tell him killing innocents is wrong!" Xenovia shook her head, her friend was too hyper for her good.
/
The next day, the school was totally boring. Masaru sighed, the pile of homework the teachers decided to hand out for the students to complete before the parent visitation day was simply too much. "Masaru, when are we going to spar again?" Sakura spoke, this girl left the Kendo Club ever since she became a Devil as she could no longer feel any challenges among other students, the only one who could keep up with her was Masaru and Jeanne but the latter was currently out to patrol the school in search of perverts to experiment--- No to discipline. "Hmm?" Masaru looked at Sakura for a moment before he could sense it, those two girls came then an idea came to his mind. ''Let''s use Sakura to test those two girl''s powers, I am curious as well about their ability as Exorcists... For the church to only send the two of them despite it being important artefacts that were stolen was simply too suspicious of a move from that all holier than thou angel'' Masaru thought
"Come with me, someone else can fit the bill" Masaru spoke mysteriously while Sakura was following behind him, although he has gotten some nice information about Xenovia especially that sword that lies with her but from the reports he could already guess she can''t wield the true power of it. He has no intentions of taking it nor having her join his peerage because he was certain with enough information and experience he could have his people research and recreate a unique blade for his girls instead.
Just as Masaru and Sakura arrived at the Occult club they saw Rias and her Peerage followed by the two exorcists was currently heading to a nearby open ground so Masaru followed them till he caught up, "Yo! What happened?" Masaru could see Yuuto was strange from the eyes it looks like he wants to eat something, Rias sighed "Excalibur has been made known to Yuuto... Issei is simply dragged into this because of Xenovia called Asia a Heretic" Masaru nodded rubbing his chin for a moment, "Yo Yuuto!" Yuuto looked at Masaru with a complicated face, "What is it?" Masaru smacked the back of Yuuto''s head "Oi! Even if your master is Rias, I am still your senior brother"
"Anyway, I am intruding in this battle... You can have the twin tail girl over there, she is quite hyper for her own good" Masaru pointed at Irina, "EH!? It''s you! I wanted to---" Masaru raised his hand to stop her, "You can fight Yuuto... Xenovia was it?" Xenovia was silently looking at Masaru wondering why he was getting involved, "I want you to face this girl over here" Masaru pointed at Sakura behind him, Sakura looked at Masaru feeling quite surprised but then again the person in front of her was an exorcist which she never faced before so this was truly an ideal opportunity for her.
"EH!? What about me!?" Masaru looked at him, "You''re too weak" Issei who heard this almost floored, he knew he was weak but to simply barge in he wanted to fight but got smacked behind his head by Rias, "Issei, stand back. Let him handle it" Issei reluctantly nodded, Masaru smirked thinking he dodged Sakura''s daily sword spar plus he could witness the power of this girl himself. ''Two birds with one stone, I''m a genius!''
Masaru went over to stand near Barold, "You really are nosy" Masaru shook his head looking at his friend like he was wronged, "No no, I am simply making use of that exorcist to let Sakura gain some experience but I am more curious about that girl''s sword" Barold looked at him, he knew this friend of him like making use of other people for his purposes intentionally or unintentionally. "It should be fun Barold"
/
"You''re a pawn of Masaru Belial?" Xenovia spoke as she removed the cloth around her Excalibur of destruction, Sakura took an Iai stance with her left hand holding the scabbard and her right hand gripping the hilt of her katana. "Sakura Tsukuba, a pawn of Masaru Belial and Swordswoman of the Tsukuba Clan" Xenovia nodded "Xenovia Quarta, Exorcist.. and your opponent"
"EH!? She is a pawn like me!?" Issei points at himself, but he knew Masaru had several pawns so he felt smug having more pawn pieces than the others, but this poor sod did not realize if his master comprehended and mastered Destruction power the pieces required to resurrect him would have been less. "Don''t underestimate her just because you have more pawn pieces Issei!" Rias reprimands her pawn and began to educate him about Evil Pieces in detail this time.
Sara waved her hand downwards signalling the start of the match, Xenovia was a pure power type came slashing down towards Sakura who could already predict that this slash contained quite a great amount of holy power so she skillfully drew her sword fast enough to deflect the attack a bit while she moved out of the way slamming her elbow into the chin of Xenovia, it must be thanks to her hard training she endured under the care of her "older sister", she was not knocked out by that blow kicking to the side which Sakura evade by spinning her body kicking Xenovia in her back causing her to slide in the ground. This was something Masaru taught her as well, a swordswoman/swordsman should also be proficient in combining martial arts with their sword techniques.
"You never fought a real swordswoman other than your instructors have you?" Sakura spoke feeling a bit disappointed that the girl she was facing only focused on pure raw power, "Your technique is crude because you focus too much on your strength... What is strength worth if you can''t hit your opponent?" Xenovia who heard this was reminded that her older sister also told her about this before, but she was stubborn and did not want to change her ways. Xenovia raised her sword pouring her mana into the sword causing the sword to generate a dangerous light coloured aura, Sakura simply sighed as she was a bit disappointed at this so she will make sure Masaru have a spar with her so she can get over this complicated feeling she was feeling, facing a swordswoman without technique.
"Eat This!" Xenovia swings her sword down causing a massive crater to form followed by an explosion of berserk holy aura scattering around before she could check where Sakura was a cold blade b?r?ly touched the skin of her neck. "Pure Strength is all well and good, but I told you to haven''t I? What is the point of this if you are not fast enough? Were you perhaps thinking devils are weak?" Xenovia was indeed under the ?ssumption she was weak because she had a pawn piece, Sakura pulled her sword away and went back towards Masaru.
"The match would have been better if she used the other sword instead of that fragment one" Masaru spoke loud enough for Sakura to hear this, she was curious why this girl actually held back, does she not hold pride of a swordswoman? Masaru gaze at the battle between Kiba who was completely toyed around with by Irina, ''That fool, just because his objective is in front of him he has gotten impatient'' Masaru sighed, "Good Work, I can see you definitely have improved in finding your own style but don''t let the win get to your head. There is a man who fights with a similar style as Xenovia although he has more battle experience and is incredibly strong while wielding the correct sword" Sakura nodded but still felt happy when Masaru complimented her.
The match was over when Yuuto got injured by Irina who slashed at him with the holy sword, smoke were rising from his wound so this was how it looks like when a Devil gets attacked by holy power. Masaru was fine using Holy magic as long as he uses his spellbook as the medium and converter for him. "Match is over!" Sara stopped the matches while Asia went over to heal Kiba first, Masaru came and helped Xenovia on her feet, she was disheartened about her failure to win against a pawn of a devil. Masaru lightly chopped her head awakening her from her stupor before she could ask him why he hit her he asked instead, "Are you dead?"
Xenovia shook her head, "Then it''s good, learn from this mistake... You''re in our territory so you should respect the rules even if they''re the enemy of the church... Don''t mix your personal feeling with your work. As for the loss here, get over it and learn from your weakness... I can''t stand it, seeing the new wielder of that blade is this useless" Masaru did not wait for her to get out of her shock as the fact she wielded Durandal was top secret, this meant the church had spies but Masaru did not care because it won''t easily be discovered and if it does, there is no way to trace it to him, to begin with.
"Thanks for allowing me to intrude in this event" Masaru spoke to Rias with a smile, Rias only sighed then looked at him, "I will only ask if you can support us if this situation gets out of our hands" Masaru nodded ''I want to test the power of a Veteran who survived the old war myself...'' Masaru thought but will never share his personal goals with her, "Will do, don''t want that Siscon come crying to me any time soon" Rias blushed feeling embarrassed about her brother who was indeed a massive Siscon like Serafall.
Masaru and Sakura split up as she went off to find Jeanne to spar with her instead since Masaru was currently heading to the Student Council room for his daily dosage of chess, he felt his head was getting too full of nonsense that does not require his attention so he could use the chess game to relax a bit. When Masaru entered the room he noticed Saji was currently screaming while reading the complaint reports, "These perverts! They complain about Masaru but the girls complain about them. Bwahahaha, what is up with this situation" Saji was still getting used to the situation of how Masaru was dealing with the perverts when he noticed Masaru come in he only lightly greeted the Demon King since he did not want to earn his ire and become a woman.
"No need to fear me Saji, I am not a Demon" Masaru spoke while heading over to the table with the chess set already placed waiting for him, Saji looked at Masaru thinking ''Heh, not a demon... You''re a man pride destroyer which is worse than being a demon''. Masaru took his seat waiting for Sona to arrive, "EH!? Masaru you came to visit today again?" Momo who just entered the student council room was surprised to see Masaru coming quite earlier than the usual time he usually comes, "Yeah, since Sakura had some fun with our two exorcist friends I thought of coming earlier here to relax"
"How was it?" Masaru shook his head at Momo''s question, "They underestimated Sakura because of the Pawn of Rias, so it was not that much entertaining to watch I can only hope that the girl will learn from her mistakes and give Sakura a decent match" Momo was surprised that Sakura managed to beat those two girls because the amount of holy power was no joke, "How did she manage to beat them? From the amount of holy power I sensed they are quite dangerous" Masaru chuckle, "Sakura answered that question to the girl already, What is the use of strength or power if it can''t hit the enemy..." Momo nodded finding an answer to something that was bothering her as well, ''I can test this idea of improving my abilities!''
"You''re earlier than planned" Sona spoke when she entered the office together with Tsubaki, she naturally knew of the duel outside but was not surprised Masaru''s peerage was that strong, she naturally experienced some of his training methods herself. "I''m bored!" Sona adjusted her glasses raising her eyebrow looking at Masaru sternly, "Then go complete those reports and complaints you need to handle as the President of the Disciplinary Committee"
Masaru looked at Sona with a defeated expression, "Will do it later" He waved it off causing Sona to feel exasperated at how nonchalant he was about his responsibilities but then again he was usually sent out of missions so the time he actually was free was too minimal. She took her seat and the two of them continued their daily game of chess, unfortunately, Masaru won today''s match evening ou the scores once more.
