Welcome to another chapter of The Little Sitri!
Ark; Thanks! Elmen-tan will be the Rook!
Castor115; Thank you! Enju from Black Bullet does sound good however I'm not that familiar with the series. If I'm honest, I only started watching and reading it recently.
Frozen Shadow 95; Yura as a Rook huh. I wouldn't know who to replace her with in Sona's peerage if I did that.
Kai the Devil-Dragon Monarch; Kalawarner as a Pawn or Knight huh. I will consider it at least. But if not in the peerage, I will most likely include her in Makoto's harem.
San; Kunou as a Bishop. I did consider it, but being a Pawn would be better for Kunou as with her Touki, she could use the Rook to enhance that, and us the Bishop to enhance her foxfire. So that's my reason for her to be a Pawn. I just think it fits her better.
Mr Beaver Buttington; Aika will have naughty techniques. But I haven't decided her Sacred Gear or power yet.
Banpaia Hime; Kaguya as a Queen would be good, but she is very powerful. If I use Kaguya, I would most likely lower her power by a margin and gradually get stronger as the story goes.
NecroGod; Koneko in the harem huh. I will decide by next chapter which harem she will be in. I will consider Roxas but I have used him in one story so...well I will think about it.
DarkPlasmaDragon; I'm using Kuro in another story of mine, sorry. And while Natsu does sound good, I've already got a fire user on the peerage in the form of Ravel. A dog/cat named Riona huh. Sounds funny, I will consider it.
Guest 1; Tiamat as Makoto's familiar. To be honest, I haven't decided what familiar he will have yet so I might use Tiamat perhaps.
OppaiWarrior; Maybe Vali but I'm not sure about who to give Akeno to yet.
Guest 2; Sorry, but Rias is with Ise. But I will put Tsubaki with Makoto. Tsunade as a Rook huh. It does sound good. Maybe her or Sakura because I've always liked her, mostly hehe.
Guest 3; The reason a 12 year old won at chess against an adult because he was smart and underestimated like it said in previous chapter. I'm still up about Koneko as Ise doesn't really notice girls that aren't big chested.
SharpRevan; Fem Azazel is popular so I will be including her in a harem.
Thank you for all the reviews and the ones I didn't answer, the answer will be in one of the reviews I did answer. It would've been me just writing the same thing over again. But thank you to everyone that has reviewed, it makes me want to write faster! Well, on with the story!
My cute Knight!
I was 12 when I had obtained my first servant. That servant is called Ravel Phenex. Well I can't even say servant as I don't think of my servants as servants. More like comrades, even if they are my servants. Not long ago, there was this dispute about why I should use my pieces on my future wife. However, if I think about it clearly, she clearly is a great addition. In addition to being quite powerful, she is also a Phenex. The regeneration is something that can't be ignored. And, she has more potential than Riser Phenex at least. I can see potential when I see it.
However I made her spend awhile convincing me. I wanted to be sure. I only get so many pieces and once they are gone, they are gone. There's nothing I can do if my peerage members are weak because I rushed into it. While I plan on training my peerage, I also don't want to start off with a person with pathetic stats. Maybe that's a little rude of me to say but I can't honestly say that I want someone who isn't at least a little strong or that I can see has lots of potential.
I also got one more servant when I turned 13 years old. That girl was apart of something so despicable. However, whenever I tried to help her open up, she didn't want to know me. Even now, I find it hard to talk with her as she doesn't show any signs of opening up to me.
However that isn't my concern. My concern is that I'm playing a game with Ravel-san and she's winning. Stupid video games! I press the correct buttons but they aren't responding to my input!
"Stupid game!"
"Hehe, please don't be so stressed about it Mako-sama. It is only a game after all."
"Yes, a game. I don't lose at games often. Maybe that's a little bratty of me but I just have a strong sense of winning! I want to win!"
"So, you want me to let you win?"
I glared in her direction. Baka Bishop. She really hurts me everyday with her words. I regret making her my Bishop when she wins like this! She is actually evil! And such a naughty Bishop.
"No I don't! If you choose to let me win subconsciously then perhaps I could accept that as a win. But the me right now can't comprehend why I am losing at this game!"
"Maybe because I'm a better player, who knows. Anyhow, Mako-sama...about the engagement..."
"You don't need to say anything. I made you my Bishop which is a separate issue from the engagement. Why don't we just see where our relationship goes? And if at 15 we are actually in love or whatever, then we will just get married. I don't believe it would be an issue if we love one another. However, if one or both of us are against it at that age, lets promise to break it off together, ok?"
I stuck out my hand for a shake. She returns the handshake.
"Yes. That is the mature thing to do. If anything, I like the way you think."
I smiled but then I realized that I just lost again! What the hell!? Ugh! I threw the control at the screen...but it bounced off and hit me square in the middle of my forehead which knocks me back!
"Owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!"
"Hahahaha, that was awesome~ How did you just do that~?"
She laughed while I held my head in pain. That fucking hurt. That television has always had it in for me. You've made a very powerful enemy today my friend. I shook my fist at the television as I replied to Ravel-sans happy words. Too happy if you ask me.
"I-I don't know! Stupid television. Owww, my head."
I rubbed the bump forming on my forehead. Damn day. I knew today wouldn't be my day. Everything is against me.
"Don't you mean stupid controller also?"
"Ah, yes. Stupid controller and stupid television. Stupid day. This is horrid. I've lost at everything I've done today. I can't even break a television right!"
"It is a good thing you didn't break it as your parents will be angry if you did."
Whatever. I don't care what they think. My Nee-chan's will protect me anyway.
"I don't care. You know, I'm glad you are here. Usually, I'm bored at this time of day. I suppose as my Bishop, you always have to be with me now."
"Well duh. That's what being a servant is all about, although ever call me a servant when it isn't in meetings or other important places and I will kill you."
Geez, she's a serious tsundere huh. I feel bad about that. Being a tsundere. I'm going to be married to a tsundere. While I ponder the marriage between me and a tsundere about her being a tsundere, someone comes into my room. My Nee-chan that doesn't wear glasses. So my Sera-Nee-chan. She looks really happy right now. What's wrong with her all of sudden?
"Nee-chan?"
"Hey Ma-tan! Ravel-chan."
She sounded happy about saying my name but just normal about Ravel-sans name. Aah yes, I heard that she doesn't like the fact that Ravel-san is on my peerage. Purely because she is a girl.
"Is something wrong Nee-chan?"
"Erm, not really~ I was just wondering how you and your cute Knight were getting along?"
I stayed silent and shrugged my shoulders.
"That good huh."
"She doesn't talk to me, and thinks I'm quite evil because I'm a Devil. No matter how many times I try and help her, she just shrugs me off and tells me to leave her alone."
"Oh, where is she now?"
I pointed out my window with a far off look.
"She's with Sirzechs-sama's Knight right now in the mountains. I'm having a servant keep an eye on her also. If she wont open up to me then the most I can do is keep an eye on her. I'm so glad that she at least opens up to Sirzechs-sama's Knight. I'm going to go and visit her soon to see if she will open up this time. I had asked Sirzechs-sama's Knight to maybe talk to her so she will open up to me."
The reason she is with Sirzechs-sama's Knight is because Sirzechs-sama's Knight saw the same potential that I saw in the girl. And offered to train her for me. I was happy about it but also sad that someone else has able to become close to my Knight when I've tried everything. Does that make me a failure as a King? If I can't even make my Knight open up to me, then what can I do?
"Poor Ma-tan~ Don't worry. With a personality like yours, I'm sure she will come around sooner or later."
"I wish it was sooner. I don't like the fact that my Knight hates me so much. I thought she might be grateful that I brought her back from near death but she doesn't even like me."
"Muu~ My Ma-tan is upset. I hope my Ma-tan cheers up soon enough."
I smile but on the inside, I don't know what I can do. My cute Knight doesn't even have a name. But I have thought of a name however I haven't asked her opinion on the matter yet.
...When I went to go and visit her, I saw that someone was trying to hurt my cute Knight! I rushed to the scene and made an angry stance at the beast like Devil. It is simply unforgivable to even consider attacking my cutest Knight!
"You get any closer to my cute Knight and I will kill you!"
I ran an aura through my body to see that I mean business. My Knight looked at me with shocked eyes.
"Makoto Sitri..."
[Sitri? Your a servant of the male Sitri huh!? Interesting. It certainly seems like I could sell him for a high price if its a kid who is a servant Devil of the Sitri.]
His vulgar words reached my ears. As if I would ever allow someone to hurt or sell my cute Knight!
"High price? Are you trying to sell my cute servant? I won't forgive you. You deserve death for that!"
That's what I believe! He deserves to die for what he has done to my cute servant! However as I showed a willingness to fight, my Knight stood up on shaky legs. Just what is she doing all of a sudden?
"I can't lose to the likes of yoooou! I'm going to get stronger in order to liiiive!"
She shouted this out. Then an intense demonic power spread out throughout the area. Lots of different swords of different elements appeared out of the ground like flowers sprouting from the very earth. They are all demonic swords. I know what Sacred Gear this is. Sword Birth. I learned about it awhile ago. I knew I made the right decision after all.
My Knight grabbed a darkness blade and pointed it at the enemy stray Devil. She rushed the enemy Devil. However while running she grabbed another sword and threw it at the enemy Devil. It was a flame sword.
[Kuu!]
But the sword was deflected by a powerful punch! However my Knight had already been in a place where she could swing her sword down. The enemy responded by trying to catch the sword. But I saw my cute Knight had made an ice sword appear below her foot.
My Knights darkness sword was caught, but she made a sharp kick with the ice blade following. Her demonic sword impaled the left eye of the beast man who had his guard broken.
[Nugaaaaaaaaaaaah!]
The beast-man who had his eye gouged out screams loudly and squirmed in pain. Then my Knight put on a sarcastic smile.
"…I don't think having just power is enough. If you're a Knight, and if you're someone who uses swords, then I think technique is the way to go."
She is right about that. I wanted my cutest Knight to be strong and also a technique orientated Knight.
Hearing her words, the tiger beast-man made an angry expression where he didn't have even the slightest confidence.
[I don't give a shit about you anymoooooore! I've decided to kill you noooow!]
The beast-man made the claws of both his hands longer and slashed them down at my Knight! I gathered the water around my Knight and made a water wall! The beast-man stops his attempts as he realized that he couldn't break my water barrier.
"Makoto Sitri...what are you doing?"
"I protect my servants like they protect me."
I answered my Knight with a determined face. However, the beast-man turned his attention to me. He snarled and charged me! I gathered water to attack this bastard right in front of me!
It happened when I prepared to receive deliver damage to him. I heard a voice that I was very familiar with.
"A stray that didn't realise this was my territory…that explains the low caliber of yours."
Then the sound of wind passed by my ears. The next thing I know is the Devil beast-man in front of me was cut up and killed. A man stood in between me and the newly deceased Devil. I knew this man quite well.
"Thank you, Souji-san."
Yes, the man before me is Sirzechs-sama's Knight, Souji-san. He protected me huh. In the future, I want it to be so I can fight alongside my servants, not my servants protecting me. Or anyone protecting me for that matter. Like Rias-Nee-sans cousin who is reaching new levels of strength everyday.
Myself, Souji-san and my Knight went to fix the graves of her deceased comrades. While that was happening, I heard the conversation of those two.
"Girl. You said this to me before. That Devils are beings that destroy humans."
That's what my cute Knight thinks like. As I was thinking about that, Souji-san continues.
"I was the same. I also thought hard about it when I reincarnated. About quitting being a human and becoming an existence that represents evil. During that time, my master Sirzechs Lucifer said this to me."
[I would like you to think on that on your own. I simply gave you a chance. How you would live and how you would spend time. That is something for you to decide. Except, would you help me with my job at times as my servant? I believe that swordsmanship is something necessary for me. However, if you were to become a threat to the humans then I'll exterminate you as your Master. But you know, I would like you to remember this. The Devils, the humans, the Angels, and other beings. There isn't a being in this world that should be terminated.]
So that's what Sirzechs-sama said huh. Even I didn't know Sirzechs-sama was so deep. But maybe I should've known such things.
"Becoming a Devil that would destroy humans would be up to you. But obviously, you, Makoto-dono, and I, are clearly not those Devils, right?"
My Knight didn't answer Souji-san but she did put on a small smile. After fixing these graves, we started walking down the mountains. But as we are walking down the mountains, I was asked a question by Sirzechs-sama's Knight.
"Makoto-dono. Have you thought of a name for this child?"
"Yes. I asked various peoples opinions and I got help from Rias-Nee-san and Sona-Nee-chan. Although I'm not sure she'll like it..."
I then went to my Knight and looked her directly in the eyes while smiling.
"Kiba Yumi. That's the name I decided for you. If its not something you like then we can always change it. But I put lots of thoughts and feelings into said name."
My Knight put on a small smile and nodded.
"Yes. I think that's the best name. Thank you."
I couldn't control my excitement anymore and hugged her tightly!
"Want to go home and play games with me and my Bishop!?"
"Erm...ok."
So like that we went home after splitting from Souji-san. Thank you Souji-san. My Knight is finally talking to me at least.
Once getting home, I went straight to my room with my Knight. Upon my arrival, I see my Bishop sat on my bed reading a book. I don't care if she or my Knight Yumi-chan hang out in my room when I'm not there. I haven't gotten anything to hide.
"Ravel-san. I'm back with my Knight."
She looks up from her book and smiles at both of us. She then comes over and bows to Yumi-chan who does it back.
"I guess this is the first time we've properly talked. The last time we met, you pointed a sword at my neck and threatened to kill me. My name is Ravel Phenex. It is a pleasure."
Yeah, that's when Ravel-san and I went to the human world. I found this girl who was on the verge of death and I reincarnated her as my Knight. I felt the position of Knight fitted her to the utmost. Hmmmm, I have two servants now yet I haven't found a Queen yet. Usually, the Queen is the first one to be used. I guess there will be a time when I use my Queen piece but for now, I'm content with my cutest Knight and cutest Bishop. When I get another Bishop and Knight, I guess they will have to share the title of cutest.
"Aah, I am sorry about that. Please forgive me."
When Yumi-chan bowed, Ravel-san waved her hand.
"No need to worry. There isn't anything to apologize for. Trust me, I've seen and been through worse because of Rias-sama."
"Rias-sama...is the girl from Gremory yes?"
Ravel-san and I shared a laugh and nodded. My Knight gained a confused face as Ravel-san explained our laughter.
"Rias-sama is from the Gremory clan yes. They are known to be very affectionate with their servants. However, for some reason, Rias-sama is insane. I'm sure something traumatic happened when she was a child for her to be completely insane. She even thinks ghosts haunt her clothes."
I had to snicker. That's her latest craziness. Ravel-san then laughed to herself as did Yumi-chan and I! Even though we are like this, I believe we are bonding. Maybe I'm not such a crap King after all. But there's always time to build on what I lack as a King.
"W-Well, I'm glad I'm in this group after all."
"Hehe, that's the truth. Trust me, Mako-sama is going places. Rias-sama is a good King, when she's not trying to kill her servants, but the main thing to understand about her is... Don't be alone with her and call her an ape. If that so happens, she will try and murder you. She tries it on Sona-sama on a regular basis...anyhow. I don't think we should talk about her anymore...or she might appear."
Ooh, I shuddered then. Rias-Nee-san appearing like that would be scary for anyone.
"If she does, I'm running away."
"I second that."
"I third that. She sounds scary."
We again shared a laugh about that. I'm just so happy right now! My Knight is fine and my Bishop is fine. Everything is fine right now!
Well that's the end of that. Yes, I made Yumi Makoto's Knight. But I guess most are wondering "What about Rias? Who's her other Knight?" or something like that? Well, the answer to that question is Jeanne from the Hero's faction. It wasn't mentioned in the chapter but Jeanne right now is in Rias' peerage.
The reason I chose to have Yumi rather than Jeanne is because I've already used Jeanne as a Knight. I didn't want to be repetitive, you see? Plus Yumi is a great Knight in my opinion.
Anyway, it seems Kaguya is the more popular. However I am a little hesitant because of how powerful she is. However, if I do decide to use her, I would scale her power back quite abit. While still being powerful, I also want Makoto to participate in Rating Games in the future so I wouldn't want Kaguya to just wave her hand and beat everyone instantly, see? It wouldn't an interesting read if she did that. And there has been quite a few reviews about Walburga being the Queen. Hmmmm, I guess it will be decided between those two for next chapter.
