532 True Knight Order” (1/2)
”Of course,” Mayuzumi replied. ”I feel that Ice and Fire Sensei has great potential to draw manga in the future. I'm looking forward to seeing what you'll draw.”
”I'm truly grateful! I'll work my hardest.” Yukari's eyes lit up.
”No need to be so formal with me. It's fine to be more casual.”
”Okay, Amami-sensei.”
Seiji couldn't help but imagine what would happen if the ero artist Yukari started learning from Peach-sensei. What type of manga would she end up drawing?
…Would she end up drawing something like Eromanga-sensei, or Shokugeki no Souma?
This seemed pretty good!
Seiji started looking forward to this as he imagined what Yukari might draw.
Cough, he needed to get back on topic.
Seiji then introduced Kaede to Mayuzumi. After that, he stood up and faced everyone present.
”Please allow me to say a few words now that everyone is here.” Seiji paused for a moment. ”I've already said all the important things that needed to be said when I invited everyone here. Right here, right now, I'd like to once again express my sincere gratitude to everyone for being willing to join my team! From now on, we'll all become teammates. I hope that you're all able to get along. Although I'm still only a newcomer Yin Yang Master, I'll do the very best that I can. Please lend me your support.”
Applause sounded after he finished speaking.
Although Seiji gave a serious speech, he felt quite awkward after seeing everyone clap for him. Seiji wondered if his speech was too…
Perhaps he should have intentionally acted more immature?
No, no, that would be even more humiliating.
”This humble one has the suggestion of naming our team the 'True Knight Order!'”
Hisashi immediately jumped out for him and gave a chuunibyou suggestion. ”Kagura-san is the Knight #0, and Peach-goddess… Amami-sensei will be the 'Divine Knight!' The others shall all use their names from the Knights of the Round Table, how about it?”
Everyone was rendered speechless.
”Considering that it might not be convenient in certain situations to use our real names, code names are indeed necessary,” Seiji commented. ”But, it's not necessary to use these particular code names. We can think of new ones.”
”This humble one believes that these code names are perfect!” Hisashi strongly voiced his opinion.
”We have one vote for the name 'True Knight Order.' Anyone else that approves of this name, feel free to raise your hands and vote.” Seiji looked at everyone.
Shika and Hoshi were the first to raise their hands. Yukari and Mika also raised their hands in agreement as well.
Five votes, this was more than enough for a majority approval.
Mayuzumi raised her hand as well. ”I have no objections to being called a 'knight,' but I don't wish to be addressed as the 'Divine Knight.'” She could only smile wryly.
”That's fine with me.”
”Let's go with that, then. Our team's name will be the 'True Knight Order,' while Shika-chan is Knight #0, Hisashi is the First Knight, Yukari is the Second Knight, Hoshi is the Fourth Knight, Mika is the Sixth Knight, Juumonji-sensei is the Seventh Knight, and Peach-sensei is the Ninth Knight.”
Their numbers weren't actually in succession, due to certain members of the Knights of the Round Table not being members of the True Knight Order. Still, that didn't matter, as these were only code names.
Although this sounded somewhat immature, Seiji felt it was quite nice to imagine his entire team reporting all their code names in some scenario that called for it!
Seiji had imagined such a scenario before in the past. Now, it gradually seemed as if his imagined scenario was coming real.
Kaede raised her hand.
”I have an objection. Seiji calls Brother Hisashi and everyone else directly by their names, but I'm still being addressed as 'Juumonji-sensei.' I'm highly dissatisfied with this.” Kaede intentionally pouted and put on an unhappy expression.
”That's because you're a teacher at our school…”
”That's unimportant. I'm one of your close companions now. Please call me by name!” Kaede acted quite forcefully.
Seiji didn't know what to say.
