Gin and Cleria were in a shopping district. As for why they were here, she said that she wanted to buy him some clothes. She wanted to do it when she noticed that Gin was always wearing the same clothes.

Gin only had one pair of clothes. He didn't use the money he earned from begging to buy spare ones. Well, he had money now as he looted the devils that he slayed in the past.

"I don't need any spare clothes. I can buy one if I want." Gin said.

"No, you're too used to your previous lifestyle. You need to change it. I'm even thinking to enroll you in school." Cleria complained as she faced him.

"Fine, Sister Cleria..." Gin shrugged his shoulders.

"Good. You're still a child so follow me." Cleria nodded with a smile. She turned around and walked.

Gin looked at her back as he knitted his brows tightly. He was thinking about the event where she would die. Now that he was closer to her and she treated him like her little brother, he wouldn't let her die. Even if the future events change because of his action, he just couldn't stand at the side and wait for her death.

"What's wrong, Gin?" Cleria asked as she noticed something with him.

"Ah, nothing, I just remember something." Gin shook his head.

Currently, Cleria and Masaomi was stronger than him. He had to get stronger to prevent the upcoming tragedy.

'Tsk! It seems that I gained another reason to become stronger. Just wait for me, Sister Cleria. I will make sure to save you and Brother Masaomi.'

A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

Gin followed Cleria. She went to all kinds of stores just to find a style that fitted him. She forced Gin to wear different clothes. It was quite a unique day for him as he didn't experience this before.

After that, Gin hurriedly went to the other town. He stayed all night and hunted one stray devil which earned him 34 points. The devils in this place were too few. Or maybe, they were just good at hiding like him. Also, he got used to hunting devils.

Days passed and every day Gin would hunt stray devils. Sometimes the person that he found wasn't devil, instead, it was a fallen angel. If it was human, he wouldn't touch them except if he heard something about them having ill intentions. Actually, most of the crimes that occurred here were related to the supernatural.

There were a few thugs but they haven't done anything so he left them be just like those beggars. After all, none of the thugs harmed him and the other beggars before. Only beggars would fight each other for good spots yet also they knew that they wouldn't resort to killing. There hasn't been a case like that before. As for those yakuza? They weren't here. They were in those urban places. This town was rural and Kuoh Town was the largest town in this district.

In the end, Gin still hunted all sorts of devils. Luckily, he hasn't met anyone at Mid-class.

Days continued like this. He would talk to Masaomi and Cleria in the morning while he practice the Ten Great Devil Bodies in the afternoon. At night, he would hunt any strays. Sometimes, Masaomi would teach him so he would postpone hunting strays and training the Devil Bodies when that happens.

He getting stronger and stronger every day. Gin decided to stop begging for a while. After all, the devils that he hunted had money so he decided to stop his side job and focus on hunting devils.

Gin didn't know when Cleria was going to die. He just hoped that she hadn't started investigating the King Piece. Actually, King Piece was just a rumor among the devil at this moment. Only the upper echelons knew that it actually existed. Her curiosity was the one that would lead her to investigate the King Piece. Once she learned the truth, it was already too late.

After he cleaned the stray devils in this town, he realized that he was stronger than any of the Low-class. Well, those Low-class didn't have any powerful abilities like Destruction of the Gremory House or Sacred Gear. Any of those powers would make Low-class far above their levels just like Issei. Still, it made him happy that the ordinary Low-class wasn't a match for him.

Gin was in Kubo Town at night. He was looking down at the houses, trying to find if there were still any stray devils in this place. He already used seven out of ten Devil Qi Stones.

Gin suddenly raised his head. He felt mana fluctuations above him. The mana moved like a vortex and soon, a portal-like energy formed above him.

"This..."

He narrowed his eyes and jumped away to gain some distance from the vortex of energy. He silently circulated his Devil Qi as veins pop-up from his body.

Gin braced himself for what was coming.

A little girl with long black hair came out of the portal. The girl was wearing black kimono and she had cat ears and tail.

Gin frowned. He was inwardly shocked as he didn't expect that he would meet her at this moment.

'Kuroka!'

That's right. The girl in front of him was probably Kuroka, Koneko's older sister.
