On our third day holed up in the mountains, Ravel presented me with a basket filled with food.

“K-kyaaarrrggghhh!”

In the distance, Riser sprinted across the snowy peak, screaming at the top of his lungs as a dragon chased after him.

Hang in there, buddy.

Ravel and I enjoyed a break on a large boulder that jutted from the snow. She even poured me a cup of warm tea from a thermos.

“…How’s he doing?” Ravel asked worriedly.

“I can’t really say. He complains a lot, but he’s still doing everything he needs to. I was pretty much the same when Tannin started training me, so if he can learn to adapt, I think he’ll be okay. My guess is the shock of not getting his way is why he hasn’t managed to get back on his feet yet.”

Ravel’s expression relaxed slightly. “I see… I’m glad you’re here to help him.”

“These pancakes are delicious,” I praised as I sampled the various items Ravel had.

“R-really…? The dragons helped me find the ingredients, but there were some we couldn’t get our hands on… I wish I could’ve made you something better…”

“Seriously, I’m not lying. They’re delicious. Your cakes are better than anyone else’s.”

The second I put it in my mouth, the pancake’s subtle sweetness, its smooth texture, melted across my tongue.

Ravel tried to hide her proud smile behind her hand. “O-of course! You’re a lucky man to try my cooking, Issei! You should be grateful!”

“Yeah, yeah.”

“Wh-what’s with that response?! Geez! I woke up extra early just to make them especially for you!”

“Extra early?”

“N-no! I-it doesn’t take me long to whip those up! I just happened to get up early today, that’s all!”

Ravel sure came across as high-handed and domineering at times, but deep down, she was pure of heart.

“By the way…,” I began “Which grade at school would you be in now? In human terms, I mean.”

I’d been wanting to ask her that for ages. It was rude to ask about someone’s age, though, so I’d thought maybe I could get away with it by framing it in terms of school year.

“I don’t normally share information like that, but I’ll make a special exception for you. In Japan, I would be in my first year of high school,” Ravel said.

“Seriously?! That would make you my underclassman!”

Now, that was a surprise! A first year, the same as Koneko and Gasper. I thought she would be older, considering she seemed more developed than Koneko in some areas, and was growing faster than Asia.

Before I knew it, I found myself ogling Ravel like a total sleazebag! Uh-oh, not good! All at once, guilt flooded my chest. I mean, she was my underclassman!

“I was thinking of trying on a Kuou Academy uniform sometime,” Ravel remarked idly.

“Oh. You should. It’ll suit you, I’m sure of it.”

“I will then! I’ll show you how to wear it properly! U-um, if you don’t mind me visiting you again, that is…?”

“No problem. You can drop by anytime.”

“Th-then I will! A high-class demon has a responsibility to understand the lives of everyday commoners in the human world!”
