<div>
Early the next morning, Aika Kiryuu arrived at the classroom, eagerly waiting for Yura''s arrival.
<div>
<div>
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.
<div>
<div>
Once they were alone on the rooftop, Kiryuu adjusted her glasses and stared intently at Yura, as if she already knew everything.
<div>
<div>
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."
<div>
<div>
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."
<div>
<div>
"...."
<div>
<div>
Hearing this, Yura was startled.
<div>
<div>
....
<div>
<div>
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!"
<div>
<div>
"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.
<div>
<div>
When she heard that her friend was asking about her relationship with Kyoya, even the usually bold Yura blushed.
<div>
<div>
"Ugh, Kyoya-kun, really! He promised not to reveal it so soon!" Yura mumbled, looking as though she had been through a lot.
<div>
<div>
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?"
<div>
<div>
"Based on my observations, Kyoya-kun''s is at least..."
<div>
<div>
Although she was shy, Kiryuu, couldn''t resist teasing her friend. She used her "Magic Eyes" to estimate Kyoya''s size.
<div>
<div>
Yura was stunned by Kiryuu''s question.
<div>
<div>
Then, Yura blushed furiously and retorted, "Kiryuu, what are you talking about!!!"
<div>
<div>
"We just started dating yesterday. How could we possibly have done ''that'' already? There''s no way!"
<div>
<div>
Kiryuu was a little disappointed that she didn''t get the juicy details she was hoping for.
<div>
<div>
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.
<div>
<div>
"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."
<div>
<div>
"!!!"
<div>
<div>
Yura was shocked. She couldn''t believe that her best friend was a Sacred Gear wielder.
<div>
<div>
"Is it true, Kiryuu? Do you really have a Sacred Gear?"

<div>
<div>
"Yes, Kyoya-kun told me." Kiryuu said seriously.
<div>
<div>
''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!''
<div>
<div>
With that, Yura grabbed Kiryuu''s hand, intending to find Kyoya.
<div>
<div>
....
<div>
<div>
....
<div>
<div>
Soon, Yura arrived at the Student Council room with Kyoya and Kiryuu.
<div>
<div>
Everyone from the Student Council was present, helping Sona with paperwork.
<div>
<div>
They looked up, surprised to see Yura, Kyoya, and an unfamiliar girl.
<div>
<div>
After a moment''s hesitation, they greeted him, "Kyoya-kun."
<div>
<div>
But Sona and Tsubaki were confused as to why the other girls seemed so bashful.
<div>
<div>
They didn''t think too much about it, assuming it was just because they were happy to see Kyoya.
<div>
<div>
I smiled faintly, then pulled Yura and Kiryuu over to the sofa and sat down.
<div>
<div>
....
<div>
<div>
"Hmm...? Yura, who is this?" Sona looked at Kiryuu with confusion, then turned to Yura.
<div>
<div>
"Hehe, Kaichou, her name is Aika Kiryuu. She''s my best friend. There''s an important reason why I brought her here today."
<div>
<div>
Then, Yura explained in detail what Kiryuu had told her on the rooftop.
<div>
<div>
"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.
<div>
<div>
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."
<div>
<div>
After I confirmed it again, Sona was ecstatic. Since I had recommended her, she would have agreed to take Kiryuu in regardless.
<div>
<div>
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.
<div>
<div>
Sona''s gaze towards me softened considerably. Then, she turned to Kiryuu and asked, "Kiryuu-san, would you consider becoming my Reincarnated Devil?"
<div>
<div>
Kiryuu looked at me, and seeing me nod reassuringly, she replied earnestly, "Yes, Sona-kaichou!"
<div>
<div>
Seeing Kiryuu agree to become Sona''s peerage member, the Student Council members all smiled and warmly welcomed her.
<div>
<div>
"That''s wonderful! Now our Student Council will have another companion! Congratulations, Kiryuu-san!"
<div>
<div>
Seeing everyone''s enthusiasm, Kiryuu also relaxed and smiled back, responding to each of them.
<div>
<div>
"Please take care of me from now on!"
<div>
<div>
....
<div>
<div>
Just then, Sona walked over and took out an Evil Piece, a Pawn.
<div>
<div>
''Oh, so that''s an Evil Piece?''
<div>
<div>
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.
<div>
<div>
To increase the number of Devils, one of the current Four Great Maous, Ajuka, had developed the Evil Pieces system for Devil reincarnation.
<div>
<div>
But as Sona placed one Pawn piece after another into Kiryuu''s body, nothing happened. Sona was surprised.
<div>
<div>
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!
<div>
<div>
But I remained calm. I knew that when Saji was reincarnated, he used four Pawn pieces.
<div>
<div>
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.
<div>
<div>
....
<div>
<div>
Finally, after using seven Pawn pieces, Sona successfully reincarnated Kiryuu.
<div>
<div>
Just as Kiryuu officially became Sona''s peerage member, the system notification for task completion rang in my mind.
<div>
<div>
[Ding! Task completed. Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Red Grade sign-in gift bag!]
<div>
<div>
But I ignored the system notification for now. The reward wouldn''t disappear.
<div>
<div>
"Seven Evil Pieces. Unbelievable... This is the first time I''ve seen anything like this!" Yura stared at her best friend, in shock.
<div>
<div>
"The Sacred Gear within her must be extraordinary." Tsubaki, beside her, was also visibly moved, looking at Kiryuu with anticipation.
<div>
<div>
Sona smiled at the newly reincarnated Kiryuu. "Kiryuu, try to summon your Sacred Gear. Let''s see what kind it is."
<div>
<div>
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
