Episode 22: Blessing
The school bell rang, and Subaki and Tsubasa left Aizakawa and Mialethra alone.
Mialethra immediately hit Aizakawa in frustration.
> "You idiot! Why did you say yes to them?!"
Aizakawa quickly responded,
> "Yeah, I know, I'm sorry! I really didn't mean to—I'm just stupid… Oh, right! If I remember correctly, I've never met your parents, have I?"
So, they decided to visit Mialethra's house.

When they arrived, Aizakawa was introduced to Mialethra's parents:
Father: Fordlethra
Mother: Sialethra
Aizakawa politely greeted them,
> "Nice to meet you both."
Fordlethra replied with amazement,
> "You're Evros, the one from TV, right? Wow, our daughter is dating him! Amazing!"
Then, Fordlethra invited Aizakawa to see his laboratory.
It turned out Fordlethra was a scientist and doctor working with the Japanese military.
He showed Aizakawa some leftover blood from Soros and explained that he was developing a protective device for humanity using the blood combined with his own inventions.
Aizakawa noticed a strange leftover monster cell beside a test tube and asked,
> "What's that one for, sir?"
Fordlethra replied,
> "Oh, that was a failed experiment. I was planning to discard it."
But Aizakawa looked intrigued and asked if he could keep it.
Fordlethra agreed.

Back to the main reason for the visit, Aizakawa looked serious and said:
> "Sir, may I officially date your daughter?"
Fordlethra smiled warmly and answered,
> "Of course. Please take good care of her."
They then said goodbye and left to go on a date.
Sialethra smiled fondly, while Fordlethra said,
> "Ah… remembering our youth. I'm kinda jealous."

By late afternoon, Aizakawa brought the monster cell from Fordlethra's lab to his own private shed.
There, he began experimenting—infusing the cell with his own magic…
