章節 64: I have no one else to trust

"Even if Azazel was willing to let her into Grigori, Akeno would refuse. She would hate anything to do with fallen angels, even herself."

Not much is known about Shuri from the original series. But from what I'm seeing, she's a brilliant woman. Being able to predict the actions of the two people closest to them almost exactly is terrifying, and I'm not going to get tired of repeating it.

"Why would you trust me with your daughter? You only met me today."

It doesn't make sense. Why would someone as smart as her leave her daughter in the hands of a stranger?

"I have no one else to trust."

It's a simple phrase, but I can feel all the emotion that Shuri exudes.

A young girl, who one day found a wounded man and ended up falling in love with him. But her family did not accept this relationship, and she was expelled from her clan. Akeno, a product of their relationship, is a target to be eliminated by her own family.

She has no one she can trust with her daughter in case something terrible happens to her.

What Shuri must be feeling on the inside every day knowing all of this, added to the events of recent times...

It's got to be terrible.

I had already made a decision, even before I met Shuri. But on reflection, and after getting to know Shuri better, my decision has been fortified.

"I... am not going to take care of your daughter. An offspring is a responsibility of its parents, not of strangers."

The answer I give Shuri is clear and concise, leaving no room for doubt.

"Sigh... I didn't expect much, but well. I'm asking you to at least not turn your back on my daughter if she needs your help in the future."

Shuri, in a desperate attempt, is trying to tie me to Akeno somehow.

"I will try."

That's the last thing I say to Shuri before I go inside the Shrine.

"Thank you."

I hear Shuri's slight appreciation as I go into the Shrine.

The rest are inside the same room, each in the same place as before. The only difference is that Akeno sits on her father's lap as she embraces him, burying her face in her father's chest.

Barakiel looks at me with narrowed eyes. He seems like he wants to find some answers in my face.

"It's time to train," I say as I dodge Barakiel's gaze.

Kuroka and Raynare rise at once as they listen to me. It is the custom that I am the most strict person with the schedules, so I usually mark the time that the training begins and ends.

"Akeno, Dad has to go to work. See you tonight, okay?"

Barakiel lifts Akeno from his seat so that he can leave and follow us to Nephilim.

"No! I want daddy to stay home!"

I think Akeno is acting like a spoiled child right now. She is holding Barakiel's body tightly, refusing to let go.

"You should stay here with your family, Barakiel. Akeno may still be scared, so it's better that you stay with her."

Even if she's acting like a spoiled brat, it's perfect for my plans. Retaliation may come immediately, and I haven't prepared for it yet, so it would be best if Barakiel stayed home for the day.

"I... it's okay. I'm sorry, Raynare. I'm not gonna be able to train you today."

"No, -hic-, don't worry."

The tears threatened to come out of Raynare's eyes.

"Don't cry, Raynare. I thought you didn't like my training, but it seems you don't. To make up for this afternoon's workout, we'll double the intensity tomorrow."

"No need, really."

"Don't be modest, Raynare. You want us to triple it?"

"We doubled the training! We doubled it!"

I feel sorry for Raynare.

I remember it was she who told me that Barakiel was a serious guy who couldn't understand subliminal messages and advised us not to make strange jokes with him.

Now she's the one who's suffering because she didn't follow her own advice.

...…

Kuroka, Raynare and I left the Shrine. Shuri, Barakiel and Akeno were at the Shrine's door, ready to say goodbye to us.

"Akeno, can you come here a moment?"

Akeno looks at me in confusion for a moment and looks at his mother. Shuri seems to have her doubts as well but finally nods to Akeno.

She approaches me with a quick step.

In terms of height, she is only slightly smaller than Kuroka. I suppose she's about 140 cm tall, I'm a little taller than her.

I put my mouth to Akeno's ear and whisper a question.

"Yes! We have enough for four!"

"I see, thank you for responding."

"No problem. I like you a lot, Drako."

Akeno returns to her mother with the same quick step as she had approached me.

"Hope to see you soon, Kuroka, Raynare and Drako! I had a lot of fun!"

Akeno yells at us as we walk away, and she raises her hand to say goodbye.

"Maybe it's sooner than you think..." I mumble.

.........…

We're back at Nephilim.

There are only three of us since Barakiel has stayed behind in his family.

"You guys can go train, I have to get ready for tomorrow. If I don't... I'll die.

It seems Raynare is on the verge of despair. Doubling the intensity of the training has got to be a hell of a thing for her.

"No, we're not gonna train."

No, that's not what we're going to do.

We have more important things to do for now.

"Pack your stuff, Raynare. We're moving out."

Is there anything better than reading this novel while being safe from the virus? XD

章節 65: Barakiel's Nightmare

Azazel had called Barakiel to investigate Satanael's group. After so many years, they had finally found clues to their location.

Satanael and his students, Abyss Team.

Abyss Team, also known as Nephilim Abyss and Those who Fell into the Abyss is an organization comprised of individuals with fierce Sacred Gears.

Each and every member of the Abyss Team has brutal Sacred Gears, which are not as powerful as the Longinus or even High Tier Sacred Gears but have some irreversible side effects.

What's worse is the personality of these boys and girls who are part of the Abyss Team. Like their Sacred Gears, their minds seem to be corrupted and deviant. That's why Grigori labelled them as dangerous and united them in a class under the most "sensible" teacher.

Who would have thought that Satanael would betray them...

In the end, the place where Grigori's traitors were believed to reside was nothing more than a decoy made by Satanael and his people.

When Barakiel returned home, he expected to be greeted once more by his beautiful wife and daughter. He loved those two women too much, and they were his most important supporters.

Who would have thought that after thousands of years, a human woman would become the pillar of his life?

He felt that something strange was happening. Barakiel felt uneasy, and this feeling was heightened when a smell of iron entered his nose.

"Aaaaah!"

That scream...

The voice from which the scream came was one that he himself had heard day after day for just over a decade.

"Mamaaa!"

Same scream again.

Now Barakiel had no doubt, that voice came from his daughter Akeno. Barakiel did not hesitate and threw himself into the Shrine.

He could not believe what was inside it.

There were many people inside, but they were all of no importance to Barakiel. The only thing that could enter his vision was the bloody body of his wife, Shuri.

"Shuri!"

Barakiel couldn't believe it. He had only been gone from his home for a few hours, how could this have happened?

He... he had promised that he would always protect Shuri and Akeno from danger.

But now, Shuri was dead in front of him.

"Argg... Aaaaaah!"

Barakiel let out all the anger and sadness that was compressed into that scream. He looked around and saw all the people gathered there.

They were many, they could be in their thirties, but they were all very weak. In fact, he saw a few bodies covered in blood lying in the hallway, probably the work of Shuri, obviously dead.

Shuri's body was covering Akeno's, Barakiel was clear on what he had to do now.

Protect his daughter and avenge Shuri.

With that thought in mind, Barakiel began sending lightning bolts to the people inside the Shrine.

These guys were very weak and were instantly eliminated by Barakiel.

Once they were all dead, he approached Shuri's inert body.

But someone got in his way.

"Akeno..."

It was his daughter, Himejima Akeno, who stood between him and his dead wife.

"Don't you dare come near Mommy!"

She was looking at him with hate. Like she was looking at a monster.

"It's your fault! It's your fault Mom's dead! Weren't you going to protect us forever? Why did Mom die? It's your fault! It's because of these dirty wings that they wanted to kill Mom! Get out! Die!"

......

"Shuri!"

Barakiel opened his eyes. In front of him was the wall of his room, that wall he saw every time he got up in the morning.

"Shhh"

A soft finger landed in his mouth, and another hand dragged him to the bed. Barakiel turned and saw his young wife lying beside him.

"You idiot, you'll wake up your daughter."

Barakiel pinched his cheek and proved that this was real.

Yes, this was his wife. She was the same person he had fallen in love with all those years ago.

"Big man, are you crying?"

Shuri ran her hand across Barakiel's face, erasing all trace of tears.

"A nightmare."

Barakiel answered honestly. Such was his character, he was direct and never hesitant. That was Barakiel, "the lightning of God".

"Ara-ara, aren't you too old to be having nightmares?" Shuri said to him with a provocative look.

Barakiel was silent, not responding to Shuri. This worried her, fearing that Barakiel had not caught the joke once more.

"I'm joki-"

"Can I really protect you forever, Shuri? And Akeno?"

Shuri was about to explain when Barakiel interrupted her. Shuri looked at her husband's worried look, guessing what sort of nightmare her husband had had.

As much as she wanted to answer her husband that nothing bad was going to happen to them with him near, Shuri could not. If anything really did happen to them, Barakiel would regret it even more.

"It's useless to think about that, we each do what we can, and we can't do more than our best. If with our maximum effort we don't achieve the goal, it means it's simply not your destiny to do so." Shuri said as she stroked Barakiel's chest, red marks from the previous night still visible on the Cadre's chest.

"For now, get up. You have to get ready to go to Nephilim, those children are waiting for you,"

Barakiel nodded and rose from his bed. He followed his normal workday preparation process and completed it to the letter.

That's how he was, a serious man.

Just as he was preparing to leave, a sound came through the Shrine.

Knock-knock

Confused, expecting no visitors at this hour, Barakiel prepared to open the door. He tensed as he felt several powerful auras, albeit much weaker than his own, but relaxed as he sensed who they really were.

"What are you doing here?" Barakiel asked as he opened the door.
