<<=================================================>>

I chased after Akeno with Kuro, since Kuro's sense of smell is good for tracking her even though I can use my skills, but let me have another purpose to bring Kuro.

Not far from the inn, Akeno was hiding in a corner while cowering, seeing her like this I remembered my previous mistake.

I once let a child who was once a captive of my master and saw him like that I wanted to help him but what I did was against my will.

I even tortured her by letting her go without pity or care.

Putting that thought aside, I walked towards Akeno who was crying while muttering.

"Okaa-san Otou-san doesn't care about me anymore," Akeno said in a somber tone.

I flinched a bit but was quick to respond.

"I don't think so," I said, her body jerking slightly as I spoke, her head tilted upwards to see me kneeling at her height.

"Akeno-chan, Adults have their problems and, of course, Akeno doesn't understand because Akeno is still a child" I continued while pulling his nose.

"Uweh? Yuuya-nii is sick!" Akeno said while trying to free herself.

"Ah...Sorry, Akeno is cute when sulks!" I said, making the girl blush.

"Hmph!...Yuuya-nii Stupid!" She said while looking in a different direction.

"Yeah Yeah I'm really stupid," I said as I stood up and patted her head.

"So will Akeno forgive your father... what's his name?" I keep trying to remember her father's name.

"Baraqiel," Akeno replied in a still sad tone.

"Baraqiel ... then let's go see him and apologize," I said pulling him.

"No! ... I will not apologize to father!" She said as she pulled back his hand.

"*Sigh* Akeno listen to Yuuya-nii...we don't know what will happen tomorrow, even your father can't predict that the killer will come to kill you two, while he is busy with his work...Akeno's father might seem to ignore Shuri and Akeno but actually, she's really worried about you two...So yesterday when she returned to Akeno's burning house and found herself crying in front of the ruined house for hours "I said, I did go again to the now ruined house and saw a man which turned out to be Baraqiel crying loudly in front of the ruins and at that time he was accompanied by several supernatural beings who had great magical marks.

So I decided to just take a look without seeing meeting him yesterday, and I didn't expect him to be crying there for hours before he became happy after hearing the news that Akeno and Shuri were still alive.

And I used the Skill [Assimilation] to make my presence one with nature.

Even creatures like Baraqiel don't even pay attention to me, Akeno's eyes widen when I tell her that her father loves them both very much.

"Yuuya-nii is that true!?" Akeno asked with sparkling eyes.

"Hmm...Yuuya-nii isn't lying, Akeno remembers that I came home late yesterday right? It's because Yuuya-nii was investigating the attack that Akeno and Shuri had. That's why I was there and happened to see your father" I replied, making Akeno touch and cried again.

"Hey...Don't cry like that...Akeno can cry in front of Baraqiel later" I said trying to calm him down.

"Woof! Woof! Woof!" Kuro barked as if trying to help calm Akeno who was crying again.

Akeno saw Kuro who was looking at her with dog eyes made her happy to come back and took Kuro in her arms like a doll.

'As I thought, she was adorable when she was little I said looking at Akeno whose face melted when she felt Kuro's warm fur.

...

And the problem between son and father is solved, Akeno keeps apologizing to her father making men with scary faces melt when they see Akeno forgive her for being late when they need her help.

I was relieved to see the family reunited, and suddenly someone tugged at the hem of my shirt.

"Hmm?" I turned and looked at a woman whose age was not much different from mine.

"Can I help you?" I said in a friendly tone.

"Anoo... I! Thank you for helping Onee-chan!" She said quickly at the end of the sentence.

Her face seemed to be boiling and emitting smoke as she bowed.

"Ah...it doesn't matter, I just happened to be there when it happened" I explained,

"No... even so, you get my gratitude and also a personal favor!" said the woman.

"Hmm.. well if you insist," I said surrendering.

"Etoo ... I haven't asked what your name is?" She said asking my name.

"Eh...didn't Shuri-san haven't said anything about myself?" I answered confusedly.

"That... Onee-chan didn't speak after Akeno ran away she was so worried about her that there was silence in this room" She said with his head down.

"I see... Then, I'm Tenjou Yuuya this year I'm 16 years old" I said holding out my hand for a handshake.

"Suzaku Himejima is 18 years old, does not have a boyfriend, and is also the heir to the Himejima Clan...Greetings to meet Yuuya-san!"

"You too Suzaku-san!" I continued, and our interaction was watched by the Akeno family.

"Ara~ it's rare to see you trying to tease Suzaku-chan!" Shuri said as she winked at Suzaku.

"Ah! Onee-chan!" said Suzaku with a red face from embarrassment.

Suzaku lightly hit Shuri's left shoulder for teasing her, I felt that this would be a misunderstanding.

"Ah, Suzaku nee-chan! I will be Yuuya-Nii's bride later!" Akeno shouted.

Creating an awkward silence throughout the room, I swear I heard the glass shatter.

"Ara~ Ara~ Suzaku-chan looks like you have a rival" Shuri broke the silence with her joke,

Making Suzaku blush even more than before and Baraqiel glared at me with a glare.

"Even though you're the savior of my daughter and wife, I haven't agreed about Akeno being your bride!" His gaze spoke like that as a dark aura, as well as some kind of electric spark, started to form.

I looked away while embarrassed, damn my handsome face!

"Honey~ you're being rude to our savior," Shuri said when she was beside Baraqiel and surprised him.

"Ah!... It's not like that! I won't make it easy to become my son-in-law!" Baraqiel denied.

I could see that he wanted to kill me.

"Is that so~?" Shuri said with a smile that made me, Suzaku, and Baraqiel gets goosebumps in an instant.

"That's right! Isn't that right Yuuya-san!" said Baraqiel trying to turn the conversation towards me.

"I didn't say I agreed with that," I said flatly.
