That’s right. I had set my sights on becoming a high-class devil. Even if the possibility is zero, I have the fighting spirit to make it 100%. Saji made a declaration while raising his fist.
“T-That’s why, I will work as a teacher there. I’ll study a lot, fight in a lot of games, and store up various things. I’ll become a teacher who teaches about [Pawns] with that. Kaichou also said that she wants to help me. Even someone like me may be able to become a school teacher…I-I’ve only done stupid things in the past. I've also caused trouble for my parents and was disliked by the people around me. But, if it’s Kaichou, I can see a dream! I will stay by Kaichou’s side and help her for life! Kaichou’s dream is my dream!”
Saji spoke while feeling embarrassed.
“Hehehe. I kept the fact that I became a devil secret from my mother, but even so she cried when I told her about my future dream. [You, become a teacher!] She may have said that because it doesn’t suit me. But, it wasn’t bad, the relieved face of my mother.”
So that was Saji’s dream. It’s a different path from me. Since we’re the same [Pawns], I had thought we might be the same, but people really are respectively different after all. He has his own dream.
I wanted to become independent of my master in the future and had set my own goal. He intends to serve his master his whole life. Even if we became devils at the same time, the paths we aim for are truly different.
I felt that there was something a little miraculous about such a simple thing.
“I think that’s a wonderful goal, Saji. Become a good teacher.”
“Yeah, it’s also for the sake of that goal that we have to beat you guys this time!”
“Ah, I see. Then, it’s no good. Since we’re the ones who are going to win!”
“No, it’s us. Since we acted so stupidly before, we have to prove ourselves with our results.”
Though we laughed at the same time, his eyes were serious. He won’t back down.
However, a teacher, huh? I suddenly remembered Azazel-sensei, but… well; this guy would never be like that, as expected.
“By the way, Saji.”
“What is it?”
I poked the air with my finger.
“It seems a woman’s nipple is like a buzzer when poked.”
“…W-What’s with that?”
