Chương 52: Father and daughter

An hour after the incident, Alex was sitting in the ORC club room with the rest of the members. It turned out that Rias's work there today was about the upcoming mission to protect Odin, but he wasn't supposed to arrive for several days. Rias was working on a form with Grayfia, Alex and Azazel were sitting on the couch, the rest of the members were standing respectfully in the corner with Irina and Ravel, and Barakiel Odin and Rosswiesse were sitting on the couch across from them. Akeno was serving tea, but her usual calm atmosphere was gone, and she kept sending dirty looks to her father. A cup was placed in front of Rias, Alex, Azazel, Rosswiesse, and Odin, Barakiel was completely ignored. It was complete silence, but Alex could feel the killing glare he received from Barakiel, even ough he just acted as if it wasn't happening. A few minutes later Grayfia brought the form the two were working on to Barakiel.

"Lady Rias, this is?" He said before he looked at it. Rias just smiled and replied,

"Of course it's the bill for all the furniture you decided to destroy. It's all being replaced already, but we decided that it wouldn't be good if the one who decided to invade my current home, attacked one of the residents, and reduced most of the interior to ash didn't repay some compensation." Barakiel grimaced at Rias's words, as he had no excuse for himself. He then shot another dirty look at Alex, but decided that he'll deal with him later, as the current situation was more important. Odin started speaking,

"I've come to visit Japan, and apparently it has been decided that you'll be my guards. This is my personal guard you'll be working with, her name is Rosswiesse and she's a pitiful virgin girl." At The first half of Odin's introduction Rosswiesse bowed her head in greeting, but hearing the second part she practically fell off the couch.

"L-l-lord Odin! That's not something they need to know! And I didn't choose to be pitiful virgin, wwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa." She started crying, and Odin just shook his head. Everyone looked uncomfortable except Alex who said when she started calming down,

"I told you, I'd me more than happy to help with your boyfriend issues. My bed is always welcome to beautiful women." At his words killing intent radiated from Barakiel and Rosswiesse turned red enough to shame Rias's hair, while shouting,

" I DIDNT ASK YOU!!!!!!!!!! And what are you doing, waving that thing around in the middle of the day!? You are nothing but an indecent, worthless, pervert!" Alex laughed at her words, and replied,

"Weren't you the one crying about being a virgin just now? And you instantly criticize the one who offered to help you with that problem? Wow, are all Valkyries so unreasonable?" Rosswiesse just stammered at his words, as she didn't know how to reply. Odin laughed at her expense, and Azazel chuckled along with him. Soon the three of them left as Azazel took Odin to a titty bar, and Rosswiesse followed to keep an eye on Odin. Barakiel was left behind with the rest of them, and turned his glare from Alex, and looked at Akeno with a softer expression.

"Akeno-"

"Don't call my name!" She snapped as he tried to talk to her. Barakiel's face hardened at her words, and continued,

"I heard that you were seeing the red dragon emperor, and earlier today-" Akeno practically shouted,

"THAT DOESNT CONCERN YOU!"

"I don't want my daughter to be treated bad, and what happened earlier proves my point! Look at what he had you doing in the middle of the day, in the middle of the dorm where there's no privacy!" Alex decided to keep quiet about how the one who acted was Akeno herself, and he just received what she offered. Plus he didn't mention the various plays and orgies that have been happening recently, including the time he lost control and the three of them needed an entire day to recover. He then continued,

"I only want what's best for you as father-"

"Don't pretend to be a father, a father wouldn't leave me and mother like you did. If you wanted to be a father then why did you leave my mother to die?" The room was silent at Akeno's words, as no one wanted to interfere. Alex sighed inwardly. He knew the root of Akeno's hatred wasn't because of her mothers death exactly, it was because he was never around. She reasoned that if he stayed around more often then he would have protected her and her mother, but because he had to leave for his responsibilities the two of them were attacked. As a result Akeno's mother lost her life before Barakiel showed up and killed the attackers.

Without waiting for a reply, Akeno turned and walked out of the room. Both Rias and Grayfia sighed at the situation, and Barakiel seemed embarrassed from arguing in front of everyone. after that they all dispersed, and Alex decided that he was going to train anyways to clear his mind.

***

"Haaaaa!" Alex thrusted his fist out, and turned to kick an imaginary opponent. He was training with the super Saiyan form, and trying to increase his mastery over it. After he went through the motions with increased gravity, Alex then dispelled the form and extra gravity, leaving himself at his new usual 125 times normal gravity. He then summoned the gauntlet, and saw the timer indicated a week left. Alex sighed at the situation. If his guess was correct, then the countdown would end either during, or after the fight with Loki. He felt as if he developed the usual protagonist luck for things to happen at the worst possible moment. Deciding that he couldn't do anything about it, Alex then pulled out Ascalon, and went through the motions with the sword.
