Chapter 160 - Father and Daughter

What followed Kazuki & Akeno Date…

In the VIP room on the top floor of their apartment building, the Gremory household and associates, along with Azazel, Odin, Rossweisse, and Baraqiel, Akeno's father, had gathered.

"Please, help yourself."

"Ho ho ho, I'll gratefully partake."

Odin noisily slurped the green tea brewed by the maid, Siesta. Rossweisse scolded him, saying, "How unrefined," but Odin pretended not to hear.

Kazuki and Akeno, who had encountered Odin and the others, couldn't very well continue their date, so they brought the group to their apartment.

They then called everyone together, leading to the current situation.

"But hey, old man. We heard you were coming to Japan, but isn't this too early? The main purpose of this visit is a meeting with the Japanese Mythology, right? I was supposed to attend that meeting as a mediator for Michael and Sirzechs... Did something happen?"

As Azazel asked Odin, seemingly to explain things to them, Odin made a sour face and began to explain.

"Well now... It's a bit embarrassing for our country, but there are those who oppose my methods. I wanted to settle things quickly with the Japanese Mythology before those fellows cause any problems."

They say that where two or more people gather, factions form, and it seems the gods are the same.

"What is it? Are you being targeted by the Vanir or something?"

"Forget the Vanir, they're not important... Anyway, more importantly, Azazel, my boy…"

Without answering Azazel's teasing question, Odin changed the subject to the matter of the Khaos Brigade.

Certainly, they should be wary of the Calamity Group's movements, but Kazuki felt like Odin was hiding something.

'I'm getting irritated.'

"Well, since you're here anyway, old man. If there's someplace you want to go, I'll show you around, yeah?"

"I want to go to a boobs pub!"

Odin and Azazel, making a fuss so lightheartedly, only fueled Issei's irritation further.

"Kuku, this geezer's got good taste! Alright~, one of my fallen angel girls recently opened a place in this town for VIPs. Normally you need a reservation, but today's special! I'll treat the head, god!!"

"Hyohoho! As expected of the Governor-General! I like girls with big boobs!!"

But the one who irritated Issei the most was that man, staring at Kazuki and Akeno as if reproaching them.

"Alright, let's go, you old geezer! We'll treat you to the full course!!"

Azazel, about to leave with Odin, was brought to a halt by...

"Wait right there!!"

A voice, filled with anger, stopped him in his tracks.

As the room fell into a hushed silence, a girl stood up from the sofa and glared at Azazel.

"What I want to know is why that man is here. I haven't been told."

She pointed at the fallen angel Baraqiel and interrogated Azazel. Now, what would his answer be...

"Oh... I forgot to mention, but while the old man is in Japan, everyone here is assigned to guard him. Baraqiel's been busy lately, so I called him as my replacement since I can't be stationed here permanently. If anything happens, follow his instructions."

"Forgetting to mention something as important as the guard duty, you're as irresponsible as ever. However, it's unnecessary. We have Yuma-san as the agent on the fallen angel side. Any more than that is superfluous."

As she stated firmly, out of the corner of her eye, she saw Yuma making a troubled face. 'Sorry, but I would ignore that for now.'

"Akeno... This is my decision as the leader of the fallen angels. I also have Sirzechs' permission. It might sound harsh, but even if you are Rias' Queen, I don't need the opinion of a low-class devil."

"!!"

She knew Azazel's intention. This man was trying to meddle unnecessarily to bridge the gap between them. His blatant attitude only irritated her more.

"...Is that so? Then forgive my rudeness, Governor-General!"

"Akeno!!"

Glaring at Azazel, Akeno ignored the voice of that man at her back and swiftly left the VIP room.

When she stormed out of the VIP room with incredible force, Baraqiel also left the room, calling her name.

Then, after exchanging a glance with Rias, Kazuki nodded and followed them out of the VIP room.

"What's going on? Akeno-san, Baraqiel-san, and even Kazuki-senpai, what happened to them?"

He had never seen Akeno like that. Issei stared blankly in the direction the three had gone.

"I see. Issei, you didn't know yet, did you... Those two, Baraqiel and Akeno, are father and daughter."

Issei was shocked and turned his gaze towards Azazel's voice. While everyone else was surprised, Rias, Yumi, and Koneko didn't look shocked.

The Gremory King let out one big sigh and said,

"It's a sad story. Do you still want to hear it?"

In response to their King's question, the Gremory peerage all nodded in unison.
