This ain't an important chapter really I'm just bored and really like Gamma
***********************************
[Third Person's PoV]
It has now been a month since school started. Feeling bored Cid decided to pay a visit towards Gamma's company earlier than expected.
It wasn't that hard to find where it was, the building itself was standing out compare to all the other buildings. It was made using the knowledge Cid had given the girls about architecture.
When Cid arrived infront of it he saw the name that was used for their businesses, it was the same name they used in the original "Mitsugoshi Company".
As soon as he entered the girls working about immediately knew who he was. It would have been weird of they didn't, afterall why wouldn't they know the face of their main leader of their organization.
Two girls dressed in work attire soon stood infront of Cid. "What can we do for you today sir."
"I'm just looking for Luna" replied Cid, Luna being Gamma's alias she used when undercover as the owner of Mitsugoshi.
"I shall inform miss Luna of your arrival sir" said the lady.
Cid just patted her head "There's no need Nu, I know where to find her"

Nu getting her head patted blush as she asked "You know of me sir?"
Cid then looked at her weirdly and in a low voice said "You are a part of Shadow Garden, why wouldn't I know of you. What a weird question to ask"
Nu then got embarrassed and lowered her head slightly 'As expected of our lord, even though he isn't present for most of the time, he is aware of everything without even being there'
"Well it was nice meeting you Nu I have places to be"
Nu just bowed "It was good seeing you as well my lord"
With that Cid started following Gamma's mana signature, when he arrived infront of her office he didn't bother knocking and just marched right in.
Gamma looked up from her piles of paper in surprise, as she didn't detect anyone approaching or gave permission for that person to enter.
Cid just gave her a smirk as he said "Hello my love, I came to give you a surprise visit"
Gamma seeing that it was Cid squealed slightly in excitement, she dropped everything she was doing and started running towards Cid.
When she got close enough she couldn't contain her happiness and jumped into his arms and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Cid just started chuckling as he held her by the waist and twirled her around. When he was finished he still held her by the waist and went and took a seat where she was previously sitting with her on his lap.
While sitting down Gamma laid her head on his shoulder with her arms still wrapped around his neck. "You should have told me you were coming to visit"
"If I did tell you, then it wouldn't be a surprise visit now would it"
"Hehehehe, I guess it wouldn't. But why did you decide to visit me, hubby" said gamma while squeaking the hubby part at the end with a flushed face.
"Isn't obvious, I miss you and I'm worried about you. Out of all of the girls your are probably the most busy at the moment so we barely have time to see each other. Plus you're working all the time, no matter how many enhancements or upgrades you get, you'll still grow exhausted from constantly working and no breaks"
'Kyaaa, it feels nice to have someone worry about you' Gamma thought unable to contain her smile.
Cid seeing her smile gave a smile of his own and kissed the side of her head. "So what were you doing before I came in"
Gamma just sighed as she let go of Cid and while still sitting on his lap reached out for the papers in her desk and showed them to Cid.
"I was overlooking our earnings and profits. Due to how new and recent we are, not alot of people have heard of us. So while the earnings are high, the profits aren't, it'll take a while for our name to become trusted and well known.
So far what we're doing is advertisements. We got some of the girls to disguise themselves and join major house parties around the kingdom and showcase what they are wearing. When asked where they got such high quality goods our name would be mentioned, spreading it all over.
So when many people keep hearing the name of our company over and over again it will get more people interested. And when those people realize the quality of our goods they will mention our name to their friends and their friends to their friends etc.
So what do you think, I used everything you taught us about business. Even though it still in the beginning stages just looking at the numbers I can already see a significant increase."
Gamma then turned her head towards Cid looking for praises. Cid just grabbed her chin and pulled her close for a kiss.
After kissing for a few minutes their lips separated.
"You my little witch never fail to surprise me, you were always the one with the better business sense out of everyone." Said Cid.
"On an unrelated note, I just have a tiny question"
"Yes?" Gamma asked batting her eyelashes in a quick manner.
"Are you ever going to take off the witch hat I gave you?" asked Cid while looking at the witches hat Gamma still had on since they were little. She hasn't taken it off even once, it was like it became a part of her permanently.
Gamma just flashed Cid a smile as she said "Nope" popping the P.
"Why? doesn't it get in the way of your disguise when you put on the Luna persona?"
"No not at all, I used the stealth skill you gave us but instead of using it on myself, I use it on the hat so it turns almost completely invisible with no one being able to see it... except for my lord as nothing could be hidden from your eyes"
"I see... I'm curious why do you like it so much, it was just a gift"
Gamma just took a hold of the hat and lowered it slightly covering her eyes "To me it's more than just a gift, to me it's a presentation of the confidence you have in me. I would have been nothing with out you my lord, this hat shows me that you believe I could be someone important and have the skills to do it.
To me this hat is a reminder that you have faith in me and it keeps pushing me forward"
Cid gave Gamma a tight hug and asked "how can you be this adorable"
Gamma just took a hold of the hat with both her hands and brought it all the way down covering her face to not show how embarrassed she was.
Cid and Gamma sat like that for a while not long before hearing a knock on the door "My lady, I brought back the report of our recent sales and profits"
Nu just opened the door with a folder of papers in her hands. When she saw Cid and Gamma she just slowly closed the door as she said "I guess I'll come back when your not busy"
Nu quickly closed the door and walked out of there not wanting to bothered them on whatever they were doing.
Gamma then buried her face in her hands "Kyaaa! I can't believe someone saw us like this, how embarrassing"
Cid teasing her asked "Oh? So your embarrassed to be seen with me."
Gamma hearing him panicked and waved her arms around frantically "No, no, no, no, thats not what I meant what I meant was..."
Cid just chuckled as he shook his head "Gamma, I'm just teasing you relaxed"
Gamma hearing him gained a stunned expression before pouting.
Cid just chuckled once again and kissed her cheek once more "It was a fun visit but I have to quickly leave"
Gamma hearing him whispered "Do you have to leave so soon?"
Cid just grabbed her face and kissed her for a few more minutes which quickly turned passionate.
"I wish I could stay as well but I have things to do"
"Sighhh very well, be sure to visit more often."
Cid just stood up and put Gamma back where she was sitting and gave a peck on her lips "You can visit me as well when I'm not busy you know"
Gamma gave Cid a quick nodded and quickly grabbed his collar pulling him into another deep kiss
With a sigh Cid softly backed away "You really are making it difficult to leave"
Cid then gave her another quick peck before leaving her office and going back to school.

'One month, I have given her one full month for her to come and atleast acknowledge her mistakes. But I think that was wishful thinking on my part.' Thought Cid as he exited the Mitsugoshi Company, making his way towards the school.
Just when he was to entered he was block by a hand that reached out infront of him.
"Hey, wait a minute. You're Cid Kagenou, right? Do you have a few seconds?, I want to talk to you about something important"
The person who stopped Cid from advancing was none other then Iris Midgar the first princess of the Midgard Kingdom.
[Pics of Iris]
"I'm in a hurry, I have to meet someone right now before they run away" Said Cid wondering why the princess would even stop him. The only thing he could think of, that would have any significant is his daily sparing sessions with her sister. But he didn't think that would really warrant her attention.
It would caused her to investigate him, not stop him in middle of his walk.
"I promise it'll be quick" said Iris confidently
"*sighhh* Fine, I guess I could spare you a few minutes"
Iris just nodded "First off I want to thank you for being friends with my sister, due to her upbringing she rarely had the chance to make actual friends. So thank you for that and thank you for helping her grow stronger as well."
"Friends is really pushing it but you're welcome I guess"
"As for the other thing... I want you to join the Crimson Knights"
Cid simply raised an eyebrow at the invitation 'It looks like she started her recruitment process earlier than expected, I wonder why? The Crimson Knights were formed during Alexia's kidnapping, I wonder just what happened for her to start this early'
"And What is this Crimson Knights thing you are asking me to join"
Iris still maintaining her serious expression says with a small smile "It all started with your sister actually. After she defeated me, easily in fact, I realized something. I realized that I'm still too weak to protect my Kingdom. If I want to make sure that my Kingdom is safe, I needed help.
So I started gathering people under me of like mindness, people that care about this Kingdom. The Crimson Knights, they would technically be the public enforcement that keeps order to the public and helps them in time of need.
And I would like you to join, I have heard of strength. I heard that no matter how many students challenged you, you always prevail, that your strength is like no other. I even heard praises from Alexia herself.
Which I should also thank you for that as well, thanks to you my sister has been opening up to me more."
Cid looked at Iris who had her fist infront of her as she proclaimed her ideals and without even thinking about it replied "Don't wanna"
Iris who had held her fist and was clearly satisfied with her speech, slowly blinked as she looked at Cid "Excuse me?"
Cid just shrugged his shoulder "I said I don't wanna. It seemed like a hassle"
"Why?, what could be nobler than serving the kingdom you love?"
'Maybe staying away from your patriotic self' Cid thought. "I could think of multitude of things"
"Could you at least give me a reason why you refuse to join"
"I just don't see the appeal, I'm more into growing stronger than helping people i don't know, so if I join your little knight group I feel like my time training would be cut short.
I'm not saying that what you're doing isn't great. It's just not for me"
Iris then gained a stunned expression "Isn't that really selfish to just be thinking about yourself?"
Cid just looked deep into her eyes as he asked "And what's wrong with that"
"What?" Iris asked
"What's wrong with being selfish. Just cause I'm thinking about myself and putting my wants infront of others, I'm suddenly the bad guy or something?" Cid asked
Iris then sighs "Well no"
Cid nodded "Good. Now if you don't mind I have an irresponsible sister to catch" Cid didn't even wait for her reply and went to find his sister.
Iris just stood outside the school still bewildered about what just happened 'sighhhh, it looks like I'm not getting neither of siblings. Claire said that she would only join if I managed to convince her brother to join. But based on what we just discussed it seemed very unlikely.
I'll have to keep an eye on them. Their strength is dangerous if I don't monitor them correctly. Especially Cid, even though I was the princess he didn't show an ounce of respect towards me.'
Iris though wasn't going to give up, she'll get both of the Kagenou siblings to join. Even if it's the last thing she'll do. And with that she went on her way, coming up with a plan.
Meanwhile Cid started to spread his senses widely looking for Claire's mana signature. Once he got a reading he closely followed it. When he did he found her having lunch with a group of girls.
Quietly Cid appeared behind her undected. When h appeared the girls that were chatting with Claire quickly turned quiet and started shaking slightly when they say his irritated expression.
Claire seeing her friends quiet down saw a shadow looming over her.
"Sighhhhh.... he's behind me isn't he" Claire asked her friends who nodded their head slowly.
Claire just breathed out before quickly turning around and facing Cid "Well if It isn't my most beloved, handsome, powerful, nicest, and favorite brother in the whole wide world. What can I do for you" Claire spouted with a wide smile and a happy-go-lucky expression.
Cid just looked at her unimpressed "I'll give you five seconds to run"
Claire didn't even waste a second and skedaddled out of there.
Cid just looked at her friends...who were all a part of Shadow Garden and pointed his finger at them with narrowed eyes "You guys better not have been involved in this mess"
They all just shook their head not wanting to get in trouble with their boss.
Cid just nodded accepting their answers "...that has been 5 seconds, she's dead when I catch her"
Cid then started running to where Claire ran through following her path. Maneuvering his way through students Cid started to catch up with her very quickly.
While running away Claire looked back and saw Cid right behind her which caused her to scream "WAAAAAAHHHHH, STOP CHASING ME! WILL YOU STOP IF I APOLOGIZE"
Cid didn't answer and quickly caught up with her. When he caught up he grabbed Claire's cranium in a vice grip and tighten his grip making her cry out in pain. "Owie, owie, owie, I'm sorry, owie owie owie."
Cid just looked at her coldly while they were being looked at by the nearby students watching their antics like they were watching a play.
"I shouldn't have used you as a shield" said Claire between her cries of pain
Cid just squeezed tighter "What else?"
Claire trying to make him release her said with teary eyes "I shouldn't have thrown you with all the responsibility of having to fight all of my suitors and not even talked to you about it. I genuinely feel bad okay, I'm sorry"
Cid just sighed as he released her head. Claire just started rubbing the sides of her head "What if you made me bald you bastard"
Cid narrowed his eyes when he heard her "What was that?"
Which quickly shut Claire up "Nothing, I didn't say anything you must be hearing things. Has fighting all my suitors gave you an injury that made it hard of hearing. Now I'm starting to feel really bad"
"Sighh no but fighting them did make me realize how sad your existence is. They all just want to date you for your looks and not your personality. What a poor pitiful soul you are."
"*scoffs* like I need their approval"
Cid just put on an expression like he was about to cry "You are now deluding yourself into thinking that."
Claire just gained a pissed expression as she went and kicked Cid in the shins but instead of Cid being the one in pain it was Claire. She was hopping on one foot as she loudly said "Just want are you made off. Did you really enhanced yourself with magic at the last moment to hurt me. Your so cruel."
"Then ask for my permission next time you plan to use me as shield"
Claire and Cid just continued to bicker with each while everyone just looked at them in confusion and awe not almost not believing what they saw.
Due to how they act when they are separated it was hard to believe they were the same person when they saw them acting like that together.
