Second Chance

Chapter 6

So I leaved a copy at Shizue's side. And teported to the town. For my luck there was a little guide in that town. So Ciel made me a fake adventurer ID while i was trying to find Horned Bear. Then i cut his horn. And teleported to town's Gates.. It actually took 15 second or so to do these by the way. I gave my ID to guard. And he made gasped when he looked at it. I mean i am trying to pass this part quietly so can you just let me go? But appently he didn't hear my inner voice.

"An A class?"

The other guard who was leaning against the castle's Wall got startled when he heard that.

"W-what? A class you said!"

"Yes, look at this!"

"It really is, my God! It's my first time seeing a A class!"

They looked at me with sparkling eyes. I know this is a little town but still haven't you seen an A class in your entire life?

[Before Tempest's technolgy spread through the world an A class was pretty rare.]

I know that but, geez. Can't they just keep quiet about it?

But wait isn't this actually good thing? When i was traveling with Kabal's group they were treating them like heroes even though they were only B+ and here I am an A class a force that much stronger than them. So people here would treat me much better. And while I am talking to them I can just pass the rumor that I am heading towards Blumund and looking for a companion. And when Shizue comes here in the midnight she would too heard about the rumors. After that i can just approach her saying that i sensed her talent or something. Shizue's mask blockes Ifrit and an normal A class wouldn't be able to feel that but still that is not the only way to understand if one person is strong or not. You can tell that from the way one walks and actes. So it would be a good way to get close to her.

So that means, just play nice in here!

"Hi, guys."

"Oh Great Luminas!"

And just like that one of them fell to the ground.

Is he acting dramastic or did he really faint?

"Oi, keep it together!cMr. Sora!"

Wow, i didn't get emberassed like that for a very long time. I wanna dig a hole and hide in there.

[Please don't do something like that.]

Oh-uh, i'll try my best. But what's up with Mr. Sora?

[I picked.]

By the way Ciel-san has already adjusted my appearance. My human form looks so much like Shizue-san and I can't wear a mask like how I was used to do when I was adventurer. Since the mask is her too. That's why Ciel changed how I look too.

And I think this is one of the reasons why that guard fell. Am I good-looking?

[Master always looks good.]

Hahaha, I'll take that compliment.

And Ciel reflected my apperance in my mind.

Hmm... Short black hair and blue eyes. My skin is still white but it's not pale. My shirt is the same but there is a chain armor on top of it so it doesn't look. Armor is uniqe grade. It's color has faded but still shines clearly. It showes how much effort has been put to clear it. There are leather gloves on my hands.  And i don't have any armor on below except my knees and feets.

If i were to make a comment I would say this is someone who has specialized in moving fast. So it can be seen like I am not the type that can handle heavy task. That explains why i would want to travel with someone. I am obviously a male but as always I am not that large. So one can still mistakenly see me as a woman.

And my smile has a devastating power. So I can understand why this guy fainted.

While I was examing my outer look, the guard who fell down get back up. Ups! It seem I was exaggerating myself. And he didn't actually faint. That's better actually.

By the way Ciel-san why is this look?

[Outer look has been adjusted according to Shizue's taste.]

E-eh? What?

[Most important people in Shizue's life had black hair and mostly blue eyes.]

Hmm... Chloe, Hinata and Yuuki has black hair. And Hinata's and Chloe's eyes are blue and actually Leon's too. But I don't think he matches Shizue's tastes.

Wait when you were saying taste were you talking about the ones she valued most?

[Actually yes...]

Oh so I was the who misunderstood.

Let's just pretend this never happened.
