"I see... So you want to get stronger for revenge. You know, you will get nothing out of revenge." Masaomi said.

'Look who's talking...' Gin said inwardly. He knew that Masaomi would be filled with hatred after the tragedy of Cleria in the future. He would try to kill all the people that were involved in that incident.

"I will get satisfaction. It's simple as that. I'm a human who is greedy for money and power." Gin said honestly.

"Then, do you want to join the church? If you join the church, I'll teach you all sorts of fighting skills." Masaomi offered.

"What?!" Gin turned and glanced at Masaomi. "Are you saying that you'll teach me if I join the church?"

"Yes,"

"Do other people from the church know about me?"

"No," Masaomi shook his head.

"I see, then never mind. I still don't have the plan to join any faction for now." Gin said. If he joined the church right now, then he would be forced to involve in future incident. It was good that Masaomi was willing to teach him but recalling the tragedy, he couldn't help but furrow his brows.

"Why? I thought that you want to become stronger." Masaomi asked curiously.

"Joining the church means that I will be bound by it. I won't be able to move freely. Also..." Gin didn't continue his words but he was hinting at Cleria.

"A priest and a church shouldn't be together. If the higher-ups learned about it, they will also suspect that you know about our relationship. Since you are a member of the church, they will punish you. So if you're not affiliated with the church, they will only think that you're an ordinary human that I pick up to clean the church. They will not suspect anything. That's why you ask me if they know about your existence." Masaomi said.

Gin nodded and didn't deny it. Although Masaomi wasn't wrong, it wasn't the true reason why Gin rejected the idea of joining the church.

It's simple. He just didn't like the things that he had to follow once he joined the faction. The church was strict and Masaomi's situation was one of the examples. It was forbidden to have a relationship with the devils. Although it was lifted in the future because of Issei and other factors, it still didn't change the fact that the church right now was too much for him to handle. He also had to follow their teachings.

He had no problem joining the church if it was in the future but now... He rejected the idea of it. Of course, he wouldn't tell this to Masaomi in case he offend this guy.

Masaomi smiled and said, "Then, let's go."

"Where?" Gin raised his eyebrows.

"To Cleria. Let's have a breakfast together." Masaomi replied. Then, he added, "You're not bad. I'll teach you a few of my skills."

"Wait, what?" Gin was shocked. "I won't join the church, you know?"

"I know, I'll teach you a few skills because of my own will, and half of it is because Cleria is fond of you," Masaomi said.

"Hmm... I see, if you're really planning on teaching me, then I'll call Master." Gin said.

"There's no need for that. Just brother is fine." Masaomi said with a smile.

"Fine, Brother Masaomi." Gin shrugged. He didn't have a problem with it.

The two walked together for a few minutes before they arrived at Cleria's house. Masaomi carried Gin and jumped through the gate of the house. It was always like this. He couldn't be seen entering Cleria's house.

They gathered in Cleria's room and Cleria quickly prepared their breakfast.

"Oh, Masaomi will teach you his skill?" Cleria glanced at Gin.

"Yes, Sister Cleria." Gin nodded before he continued to gobble the meal in from of him. This breakfast was twenty times better than what he ate when he was living in the streets.

Cleria laughed seeing Gin's action. She glanced at Masaomi and asked, "Are you sure about it? Isn't your skills exclusive to church?"

"No, I will not teach him those things. I will simply teach him the basics of fighting so he has to build his own style. I will just lay down a foundation." Masaomi replied. No matter what, he was still a follower of the church so he wouldn't teach the church's skills to outsiders.

"It's fine. I don't need the church's skills." Gin said. He could hardly ten the Ten Great Devil Bodies without Devil Qi Stones.
