Chapter 289: Father-In-Law
"Not ugly?" Akeno was surprised.
"Of course not, well, maybe your face is a bit ugly from tears and snot on your face," Yuuki teased.
"I am not ugly!" Akeno looked at him.
Yuuki wiped the tears on her face with the handkerchief he had made with his magic. He looked at her and said, "But I like that part of you, I like when you show your blushing face, I like when you show your masochistic face to me."
"Masochistic face?" Akeno twitched his lips but she felt warm.
"I don\'t care anything about heritage, whether you\'re an angel, youkai, or a fairy, to me, you\'re only Akeno, the clumsy girl who is a sadist to her opponent yet submissive to his male partner," Yuuki said.
Akeno had never heard of such an insulting confession before, though she felt warm in her heart and rested on her chest: "I am not your female partner yet."
"Well, we can work that slowly," Yuuki said.
Akeno looked at him and said, "Can you listen to my story?"
"Sure," Yuuki said.
Akeno positioned herself in a comfortable position. She started telling him about her happy childhood life that she was really happy to live with both of her parents. At that time, her father had something to do and left both her and her mother in her home. She would have never thought her nightmare would start there.
Akeno told him how the fallen angel and the Himejima clan hunted her because she had dirty blood. She was only a child and her mother had just left the world. She hoped her father to come but he had never come to save her. She ran toward the forest and at that time she met both Rias and Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa who saved her from her Grand-Uncle Suou Himejima that tried to kill her.
"Do you feel hate on Himejima Clan?" Yuuki asked.
Akeno nodded and said, "Of course, I am."
"I can go extinct in their clan if you want," Yuuki said.
Akeno looked at him and she saw his eyes weren\'t joking. She shook her head and said, "It is okay, you don\'t need to go that far."
"They hurt you," Yuuki said.
Akeno shook her head, "It is fine, the culprit has paid the price and the leader of Himejima clan right now is my cousin, she has asked for my forgiveness and overthrown my Grand-Uncle Suou Himejima as the leader of Himejima clan."
Yuuki looked at her weirdly, "You can forgive the Himejima clan who tried to kill you but you can\'t forgive your father?"
Akeno also understood it was very weird when she heard it from his mouth. She could forgive the clan that killed her mother and tried to kill her yet not her father who tried to save her at the last minute.
"You know, how about we meet your father," Yuuki said.
"What?" Akeno was stupified.
"I need to give my greeting to him since I will have to take his daughter in marriage," Yuuki said.
"M-marriage?" Akeno was blushing and startled.
"Let me call Azazel," Yuuki said and took his communication device.
Akeno looked at him who was talking with Azazel. She looked very nervous and didn\'t expect that she would meet her father now.
"Hahahaha, good, come here."
Akeno could hear the laugh of Azazel there.
Yuuki closed his communication device and took her hand, "Are you ready?"
"I-I can\'t," Akeno shook her head.
Yuuki held both of her hands and said, "Akeno, I know that you want to see your father, I give you a reason to meet him, anyway, I heard from your story that your father isn\'t someone who is going to abandon his family, rather he was under conspiration and you know that well."
Akeno couldn\'t say anything to him.
"I don\'t want to see you always like this, I want you to be free from this feeling, let\'s meet him," Yuuki said.
Akeno looked at him and nodded.
Azazel laughed while looking at the communication device.
"What\'s wrong, Azazel?" Odin asked.
"Hahaha, something fun is going to happen," Azazel said.
"Azazel, you don\'t do anything weird right?" Barakiel asked.
Suddenly there was a magical portal that appeared in front of them.
Barakiel became wary of this and gathered his magical energy only he was stunned when he saw who teleported here.
"A-Akeno!" Barakiel was both happy but shocked at the same time. He would have never thought that his daughter would visit him. He looked at the masked man beside her and knew this was the reason why she came to him. He looked at his daughter who was hugging his arm and felt bad forbearing.
"Hello, father-in-law," Yuuki said.
"WHAT!!!" Barakiel was beyond shocked and looked at his daughter, "I-is this true?"
Akeno hid behind him but nodded.
Barakiel couldn\'t say anything and wasn\'t sure what to say in this situation. He glared toward this masked man and felt that his cute daughter had been kidnapped.
"Ahem, please give me your blessing to marry her," Yuuki said.
"WHAT!!" Barikel was shocked.
"She has my children and I want to give her my responsibility," Yuuki said.
"WHAT! C-children?" Barakiel looked at Akeno, only to see her slapped in the back of his head.
Slap!
"D-don\'t joke around!" Akeno said with blushed.
"My bad," Yuuki said and looked at her, "Why don\'t you give it to him?"
Akeno took a deep breath and didn\'t feel that nervous anymore. She thought this was because of him who joked earlier. She walked past him and gave bento to her father, "Take care." She walked back to him and told him, "Let\'s go back."
Yuuki twitched his lips, "Enough?"
Akeno nodded, "Yes, let\'s go!"
Yuuki shook his head and looked at Barakiel. He waved his hand and said, "Bye, father-in-law."
"He is not your father-in-law yet," Akeno said, then both of them teleported back.
Barakiel ignored that masked man and looked happily at the bento on his hands. He didn\'t believe that his daughter prepared this for him.
Suddenly both Azazel and Odin tapped their hands on his shoulder.
"It\'s good for you, Barakiel, you just have a son," Azazel said.
"Hahahaha, let\'s have a party!" Odin said.
Barakiel had complicated emotions about this.
