101 A father and his daughter

Baraqiel, the leader of the fallen angel faction and the current Grigori had been secretly watching everything was actually disappointed, he was disappointed that Suou and the people he brought from the Himejima Clan did not live up to his expectations.

Before he could save his own daughter, his daughter was in no danger at all because the silver-haired boy that his daughter brought was able to defeat those people.

It was cunning, but before Suou and the men he brought from the Himejima Clan entered Kuou City, she received this news from one of the fallen angels under his leadership who had the task of being the eyes and ears of the fallen angels who secretly monitored devil territory like Kuoh City.

Baraqiel found out Suou was planning to kill his daughter, he was angry when he first heard this, he planned to kill the people who had the idea to harm his daughter, he could have stopped those people on the way, but he didn't because he suddenly had an idea to repair the relationship between him and his daughter.

The way is to save his daughter at a critical moment like some scenes in the movie that are usually effective to let the relationship of men and women improve.

In his case he just wanted his daughter to no longer hate him for failing to save her mother in the past.

It had been years since he had spoken to his daughter, he used to only see her from a distance, but now...

Seeing his daughter right in front of his eyes, he was growing more and more similar to her mother. At first he didn't plan on coming out of his hiding place because he knew Akeno hated him, but when he saw the girl it seemed like he wanted to do something with the boy.

He immediately came out to stop her while secretly glaring at the silver-haired boy who seemed to have a very good relationship with his daughter.

Only after he called out to her, the reply he got from her was a look of disgust and hatred from her.

"Why are you here?!"

Akeno already knew why her father was here, but she still exploded seeing the man who failed to protect her and her mother in the past appear in front of her for the first time in years.

"Akeno, I happened to be in the neighborhood. So I..." Baraqiel tried to let out a reasonable excuse because it was impossible to tell the truth, right? But his daughter interrupted him.

"Lies! Do you think I didn't know you'd been hiding for a long time when my uncle and the people of the Himejima Clan came?"

Baraqiel was dumbfounded. "Huh? Akeno, how did you know..."

He hurriedly stopped speaking.

Akeno looked at her father, and judging by his reaction, she seemed to be doing the things Eiji had said. She was getting disappointed with her father because he had such plans for his own daughter.

She looked at her father. Compared to her uncle, her hatred for her father was indeed on another level now.

Akeno felt her breathing getting heavier, she laughed angrily and said. "How would I know, right? Looks like I was right... You're definitely here to save your daughter, but the way you do that is by waiting for people to corner her and you'll show up at the critical moment like a hero saving a beauty."

"Nothing wrong, just a little wrong, it's just that knowing this disgusts me."

"....." Baraqiel was actually shaken that his daughter guessed correctly what he was planning.

But how could she?!

Obviously this plan was only known to himself!

How did Akeno know?!

Eiji who saw the drama of the father being caught off guard by his daughter shook his head.

He patted Akeno's shoulder and said. "Akeno, calm down. Is that your father you were telling me about?"

"Un, that's him." Akeno didn't care about Eiji pretending not to know, she grabbed the boy's arm and hugged him to gain comfort in this situation.

Eiji didn't resist, he enjoyed the soft feeling in her hand.

But Baraqiel who was actually very protective of his daughter, especially in terms of men who dared to touch her felt angry seeing this.

He shouted at Eiji. "Boy! Who are you? Get your hands off my daughter!"

Akeno frowned, she was not happy that her father who had just appeared after all this time was suddenly interfering in her male and female affairs.

"Enough! Didn't you see it was me who hugged him? Why are you scolding Eiji!"

"Akeno, you..." Baraqiel was heartbroken, his daughter wouldn't even call him father, she scolded her father for being a boy.

But hearing that boy's name, he felt he had heard it before. As if remembering something, he looked at the boy and asked.

"Are you Eiji Seiya?"

"You know? Right, I'm Eiji Seiya."

Baraqiel's face grew colder, there was even murderous intent in his eyes.

Eiji who looked at this Baraqiel curiously, he was completely unaffected by the killing intent and even the pressure of the holy power that was vaguely pressing on him. The other party seemed to have heard of it, oh could it be...

"I am Baraqiel, the current leader of the Grigori. I have heard of the things you have done, especially during the Kokabiel incident and your conflict with Azazel."

"Boy... Answer me honestly. Did you do something to Azazel? Also stay away from my daughter! Otherwise, I kill you!"

Holy power exploded from Baraqiel's body, the air in the temple became heavier so that ordinary people would have fainted and mid-level supernatural beings would have difficulty moving and breathing. Baraqiel naturally excluded his daughter from being affected by his power, he was only targeting Eiji!

Akeno knew her father excluded himself from getting hurt, but seeing him trying to suppress Eiji and threaten him, she was furious. The devil power and holy power in the form of lightning inside her body exploded simultaneously, she stood in front of Eiji and looked at her father coldly.

Baraqiel who saw this immediately retracted his holy power for fear of hurting his daughter.

"Akeno, you have to stay away from that boy, he's dangerous!"

"Dangerous? I don't know what's dangerous about him, I'm sure Eiji would never hurt me. It's not like someone is secretly plotting cunning things for his daughter."

Baraqiel's heart felt pierced hearing this, seeing his daughter protecting that boy and using the power he knew the girl hated without a doubt didn't help either; he was sad that his daughter was doing this against himself.

He still wanted to give an explanation to convince his daughter, but the other party didn't give him a chance.

"Also stop interfering in my life. After disappearing for so many years, you dare come to interfere in my life? That's funny." Driven by anger and dissatisfaction at her father all this time, Akeno dared to talk to her father and sneer at him, especially when remembering...

"Where have you been all this time? When me and my mom were attacked by those people. My mother died! Where were you at that time?! Baraqiel, I'm so disappointed in you. I hate you!"

"You used to say you were late to save me and my mom because you were on an important mission overseas, right? I don't believe it!"

"Do you think I don't know that you were late because you were busy having an affair with another woman at a club?!"

"!!!" Baraqiel's face paled at this, the tall and muscular man seemed to stagger back slightly as if about to fall.

But he was still standing, he stood up and looked at his daughter with shock and disbelief.

Not only did she say his name, but she also said that she hated him.

His mind was buzzing, and his heart ached like someone had stabbed him.

Not only that.

He didn't know where Akeno knew all this from.

And it was all true! What Akeno said was true, and he regretted what he had done in the past.

At that time, he could only lie to Akeno because he also didn't want to admit his delay in saving her and his wife because he was busy having fun with other womens.

Azazel at that time recommended him a club that had many beautiful women and he was tempted. It just so happened that he was stressed at the time, his wife was busy raising his daughter at home, and as a man he also had to do something to relieve his stress.

He could have gone home to do it with his wife, but somehow at that time he was really tempted by the club that Azazel recommended.

Baraqiel had cursed Azazel many times for that, he also wanted to do it this time, but the man was now dead. Only the important people in Grigori knew this information, the others should not know that Azazel suddenly died in a pathetic manner where he lost all his vitality in one night except for the culprit.

After hearing what kind of things Azazel did before his death, such as who he offended at the time and so on.

Besides suspecting Sirzechs and Serafall, he was also most suspicious of the boy named Eiji Seiya who was able to kill Kokabiel with a single attack. As the new Grigori leader, he certainly wanted to avenge the death of Kokabiel and even Azazel because he thought the latter was also killed by that boy.

But Sirzechs suddenly proposes to hold a conference that will discuss the peace treaty between the three factions. Knowing the boy also turns out to be the current fiancé of Sirzechs' sister and Serafall.

Baraqiel discouraged his intention to find trouble with the boy.

But that was back then.

Now when he saw the boy daring to touch her daughter after getting engaged to another girls.

Seeing his daughter yelling at him so far because of that boy.

He felt like killing that boy right now! Even if his daughter hated him even more because of that, he was doing this for her sake!

"Akeno..." Originally he wanted to do the things he thought of, but looking at Akeno who seemed to be ready to attack him at any moment with his trembling body and bloodshot eyes.

He clenched his fists, feeling even more saddened by this father and daughter relationship.

Baraqiel turned his gaze to Eiji.

Eiji didn't interfere from earlier because after all he knew this was Akeno and her father's problem. Although he felt he could make Akeno his woman at any time, he was still an outsider now and refrained from blowing up Baraqiel when the man dared to pressure him with his meager holy power.

After all, the other party was his future father-in-law.

He learned to be patient and tolerate Baraqiel to a certain level.

He was satisfied to see Akeno scold Baraqiel to give the big man a mental attack.

So far, so good and he wondered if Baraqiel still wanted to provoke him?

"Boy... I'll let you off the hook this time. I see you seem to have a good relationship with my daughter, so I'll trust you for a while."

"But if you dare to hurt my daughter and target her..."

"About your suspicions, I didn't do anything to Azazel other than slapping her when Kokabiel made trouble in my fiance's territory, but Baraqiel, right? Don't worry, there's no way I'd hurt your daughter. I've even helped her chase away her racist uncle, you should have seen it too."

"As for targeting your daughter... Your daughter is too beautiful. It's natural for me to be interested in her, right?"

Eiji feigned ignorance and didn't know what was really going on with Azazel, but he smiled and said honestly that he was interested in her daughter.

Akeno blushed at what Eiji said.

"You..."

Baraqiel wanted to punch the boy so badly, especially when he saw his daughter blushing.

Damn it!

Obviously this boy wants my daughter!

How dare he!

But what can I do? Akeno favors that boy over her own father. I'm not even allowed to interfere in her life....

Baraqiel felt helpless, he longed for the old days where his daughter and wife lived happily together and had a good relationship with each other.

Unfortunately now, now that his wife is gone...

His daughter hates him...

Instead of making his daughter hate him even more, he looked at her and said.

"Akeno, I know I was wrong. It's hard for you to forgive me... Although I don't know how you know all that, what you said is true."

Akeno widened her eyes, she looked at her father with deeper disappointment than before.

Baraqiel smiled bitterly at his daughter's gaze, he also could not bear to see his daughter continue to stare at him with that kind of gaze.

"Since you don't seem to want to talk and see me. I will leave now."

"....." Akeno did not reply.

She just stared blankly at her father who left with teleportation magic.

Her devil power and holy power having been deactivated, she felt her mood was very complicated at the moment.

Turning around and looking at Eiji who had been watching her and her father's argument from earlier. Akeno wondered what the boy thought of her after seeing all this?

"Eiji, do you think..."

Before she was about to say anything, she heard the boy's inner voice say something that surprised her.

[Akeno's conflict with her father is because of her mother's death, right? Actually, with my current powers, I can bring the dead back to life. Should I mention this to Akeno? If she wants, I can bring her mother back to life.]

...

"Rias, are you okay letting Akeno join us?"

At Eiji's house, when everyone was having fun watching a Netflix movie together.

Lala suddenly asked Rias who was sitting beside her with her usual innocent expression.

Rias looked at the pink-haired girl sitting next to her and said. "You mean being one of us? I don't mind. Actually I've been persuading that girl to seduce Eiji for a long time and tonight it looks like that girl is really going to do it."

"Hehe~ That's great! With this, more sisters are added to our family!"

Lala excitedly said, her smile making everyone in the room involuntarily smile.

"What do you think Akeno-san will do to persuade Eiji to revive his mother?" The one who asked was the purple-haired girl, Haruna.

She had come to Eiji's house with the help of Lala's invention that allowed her to teleport here.

After getting acquainted with all the girls in Eiji's house, she had been integrated into the Heroine Group and had a pretty good relationship with all the heroine in this room.

"That girl named Akeno wouldn't do anything lewd, right?"

Yui was also there, just like Haruna, she also participated in watching a movie together at Eiji's house. It was actually her first time participating in an event like this, and it felt good.

Besides watching movies together, they also often commented on the things that Eiji's inner voice said.

They of course knew Eiji was currently busy helping Akeno like the other heroine.

Rias who heard Haruna and Yui's question held her chin and said. "If it's Akeno, I know her very well. Knowing Eiji can revive her mother, she will definitely use her body to..."

"P-Pervert! That's immoral!"

"Pfftt!" Rias and the other girls who were there laughed, even Asia did too though the girl immediately covered her mouth.

Yui who was laughed at by the girls felt a little embarrassed and said irritably. "Why are you guys laughing at me?!"

"Yui~! Did you forget who had sex with Eiji inside the school warehouse?"

"Lala! Why are you saying that! That's our secret!"

"Secret? Did you forget Eiji's inner voice can be heard by heroines including us?"

"Rias! Don't tell me, you too..."

"I of course know~"

"Me too!"

"Sorry Yui-san, but I too..."

"Waaaaah!!" Because she was so embarrassed, Yui covered her face that was as red as Rias' hair with both hands.

But in the corner of her eyes, she saw Run who did not say the same thing as the others.

"Run, what about you?"

Run tilted her head. "I first heard an inner voice when I first woke up inside Lala's invention, so..."

Yui was slightly comforted to know that one person in this room did not know the embarrassing thing she did.

She snorted at the others and sat down beside Run.

???

Run was confused.

What does that mean? Are we in the same party now?

Rias and the others giggled.

They had fun watching a movie together that night without Eiji.

Even so, Eiji was also having fun that night.

He had fun with Akeno.
