A place that was filled with numerous abandoned buildings everywhere, under a night sky. Zanki Yoru found himself somehow appearing on the rooftop of an abandoned building. He lifted out his right-handed Persuader and dropped some of his pills that would cure his headache. As he lifted it up, a guy with a gray robe started to scream out in enjoyment and said, "Finally!" and dropped to the ground. Upon hearing this, Zanki Yoru pointed the Persuader at the guy. Just then, a maid with long blue hair in a ponytail and dim blue eyes walked up and said, "Wait!" Zanki Yoru pointed his Persuader at her instead and asked, "Are you an enemy?" She lifted her hand and said, "No, I'm not your enemy. We summoned you here so you can join us as a member, as Lord Doro says..." Zanki Yoru, filled with suspicion, exclaimed, "How can you say that with such a calm face?!" Then, a guy with a black butler outfit, spiky orange hair that stretched about shoulder length, and red eyes, came up clapping his hands and said, "A new member..." Zanki Yoru lifted up his other Persuader and demanded, "Who are all of you exactly?!" The girl in the maid outfit introduced herself, saying, "Nice to meet you, new member. My name is Giselle Voidborne..." Zanki Yoru whispered, "Voidborne??" The butler stopped raising his hand and said, "Okay, my turn. My name is just Zankoku... and we are not here to harm you, just to recruit you..."
As Zanki Yoru put away his weapons and put his hand by his cowboy hat, flicking it up and gazed at them…
As Giselle just stood up, gazing at Zanki Yoru, while Zankoku just gazed around with a bored face. Meanwhile, Zanki Yoru started to have enough and said, "Why do you guys want to recruit me here?"
Giselle tried to raise her hand, but before that, Zankoku interrupted, saying, "Well, we didn't just bring you here. We let Sir Chisaki summon a guy that can be very fitting and very strong for our members... that's all."
Zanki Yoru questioned, "Who is Chisaki, and what fitting for your members are you guys using me for?"
Zankoku lifted his finger and pointed at the guy with the gray robe, saying, "That right there is Sir Chisaki... and like I said, his own ability is just to summon a very high potential crewmate. It seems like you fit the description."
Zanki Yoru started to say, "Okay, but what if I decline?"
Zankoku replied, "Then that's up to you?"
Zanki Yoru continued, "Okay, then I'm getting out of here..."
The man in the gray robe started to get up and said, "Wait, don't leave!"
Zanki Yoru stopped and turned around, asking, "Why?"
Giselle sat there with such a straight, calm face, while Zankoku just remained sitting down, gazing at Zanki Yoru, preventing him from leaving. Chisaki then started to say, "It took me hours to summon someone who has such decent potential, and I can't waste that... We only have a few members on your team, so you can't leave now."
Zanki Yoru said, "What does that have to do with me?"
Chisaki whispered, "If we have few teammates, we will just die at the hands of other powerful Gilks..."
Zanki Yoru whispered, "Gilks?"
Chisaki explained, "Yeah, other Gilks. There are probably more powerful Gilks with great abilities that surpass us, and they can be evil as well... We just sit here, facing such guilty pleasure. It would be such one-sided terms, and we would just perish from mere dust..."
Zanki Yoru started to feel a little worried and asked, "Where is back home?"
Chisaki shouted, "Didn't you listen?"
Zanki Yoru felt a little angry and responded, "I did listen, but I just... I just... I just don't care, not a bit... though."
Chisaki got up and ran toward Zanki Yoru, shocking him. Chisaki grabbed onto him and pleaded, "Please don't go, we need you."
Zanki Yoru demanded, "Hey, get off me..."
Chisaki insisted, "If you don't leave?!"
Zanki Yoru reluctantly said, "Fine, I won't leave!!!"
Chisaki let go of Zanki Yoru, and Zanki Yoru adjusted his scarf while asking, "How old are you anyway?"
Chisaki looked up and replied, "I'm about 42 years old..."
Zanki Yoru whispered to himself, "I thought he was about 60... with such incredible strength to pull me down like that, he's in great prime..."
Giselle walked towards Zanki Yoru, bowing down by lowering her torso, and said, "Thank you very much for accepting our invitation, Sir Zanki..."
Zanki Yoru blushed slightly and scratched his chin, saying, "It's no biggie..." In his own thoughts, he pondered, "I've never seen such a cute girl bow down to me like that. Well, I do have a sister, but she's just my sister and she's never bowed down to me... Anyway, why would my older sister bow down to her younger brother like me? That's just insane..."
Zankoku walked up to Zanki Yoru with a friendly smile, holding out a suit and said, "Here's your suit."
Zanki Yoru looked down at the suit and asked, "A butler outfit? So you want me to wear that?"
Zankoku laughed and replied, "Of course! I mean, your current outfit is kind of sick..."
Zanki Yoru thought angrily, "I'm going to punch your face..."
Curiosity sparked in Zanki Yoru's mind as he wondered, "When did he even get an outfit for me that fast? I didn't see it in the beginning?"
Chisaki gave Zanki Yoru puppy eyes, and Zanki Yoru whispered to himself, "What's with the eyes, old man? Do you really want me to wear this outfit that badly? Damn, you're not even wearing a butler outfit. I guess I'll just wear it..."
Zanki Yoru grabbed the butler outfit and said, "Okay, I'll change, but where can I change? We're on the roof of this building..."
Zankoku giggled and replied, "We rule over this entire place... so you can dress anywhere you want."
Zanki Yoru asked, "So you want me to dress up in front of Miss Giselle?"
Zankoku clarified, "I said everywhere."
In his own thoughts, Zanki Yoru grumbled, "I swear I'm going to punch this guy's smirking face..."
Zanki Yoru stated, "Obviously, I'm not going to do it here, so bye..."
Zanki Yoru ran off and hurried downstairs. As he looked around, he noticed that the area was unusually bright. He spotted numerous doors, estimating there must be around 70 of them. He picked one randomly and, upon opening it, saw a girl with long pink hair sleeping on a bed, wearing headphones. Startled, Zanki Yoru exclaimed, "I'm sorry!" and quickly closed the door. He moved on to another door, but upon opening it, he found an empty room with just a large bed. He wondered, "Why is there just a bed here?" However, he decided not to dwell on it and proceeded to dress up in that room.
As Chisaki jumps up in joy and starts dancing, he exclaims, "We got a new crewmate! We got a new crewmate! Come join me, Miss Giselle Voidborne and Sir Zankoku...?!" Giselle begins walking up towards them, while Zankoku interjects, "Wait, don't dance with this old man..." Chisaki questions, "Why?! We got a new crewmate...?!" Zankoku quickly corrects himself, saying, "Oh, I was talking to myself..."
Chisaki and Giselle are left speechless for a moment, and then Giselle responds, "Well, alright, Sir Chisaki. I would gladly join you." Chisaki blushes in his own thoughts, thinking, "Giselle is such a cute young lady... Oh my, I would gladly dance with her, but with Miss Fumina... she's like a young witch...!!"
Chisaki grabs Giselle's hands and says, "Are you ready?" Giselle nods with a calm face, and they both start jumping up and down, dancing. Chisaki sings, "We got a new crewmate... we got a new crewmate...!!" While Giselle joins in the dancing, she doesn't sing along. Meanwhile, Zankoku jumps off the roof, leaving them to continue their dance.
As Zankoku whispers to himself, he thinks, "I should be focusing on training..."
