The girl who walked in was Rias Gremory, and behind Rias was the male Devil named Agrippa, dressed as an elegant deacon.
“You are the Little Miss of Gremory House. It seems that I have already explained this matter to you before. Are you trying to intervene in our family’s matter?”
Looking at Rias who appeared and interrupted him at the last minute, Akeno’s Uncle’s face also didn’t look good.
Although the Gremory House is famous in the Underworld but the Himejima clan has also been one of the famous gatekeepers who have protected this country since ancient times.
“No, although I am quite talented, I am not so arrogant as to intervene casually with the Himejima family matter.”
Rias replied with a slight smile on her face, she is obviously young, but Rias already possessed the temperament of a Noble Devil.
“But–“
“If it’s not just a matter of Himejima people, then it’s a different story.” As soon as these words were spoken, Rias’ words made the Uncle frown and he said:
“What does this mean?”
They have done detailed investigations for a long time but they have not heard anything that would link Akeno with the Gremory’s family.
Instead of answering, Rias looked in Akeno’s direction with a serious look on her face:
“Akeno, would you like to join my Peerage and be part of our Gremory family?”
“I will!” The smart Akeno immediately understood and replied without hesitation.
“Himejima family’s lord, you also heard that, Akeno is now my Peerage and a member of our Gremory family.”
Finally having her first Peerage member, Rias was very happy in her heart and she spoke while smiling at Akeno’s Uncle.
“Is the Gremory family really going against our Himejima family?”
Feeling unbearably angry, Akeno’s Uncle became extremely angry and the Himejima people behind him were filled with indignation:
“Damn you Devil, this is the business of our people!”
“Even if you are a Gremory, don’t think we are afraid of you!”
“Master Family Lord, just order, we fight with them!”
The Himejima people began to glare at Rias’s side. Rias, who had been smiling, narrowed her eyes and the expression on her face turned cold.
However, at this time-
“You dare to disrespect the Gremory’s name, I can no longer treat it as if I have not heard it.”
The deacon’s voice still came forward from behind Rias with a smile, but his eyes were cold. He glanced at random, but the Himejima people who insulted Gremory all became pale and retreated one by one.
“We were in the wrong just now, I wonder who you are?”
Akeno’s Uncle’s expression changed and he stepped forward to protect his clansmen behind him and then asked in a deep voice.
“I am the Peerage [Bishop] of the current family lord of Gremory, and the one in charge of this area, my name is Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa. Seeing that they are just the first offenders, I will not pursue them this time.”
“About the Fallen Angel girl, since it has become a state of affairs for the Himejima family and the Gremory family, then you can’t just kill her now. How about the Himejima family’s lord and I go and have a chat?”
He pointed to the small forest outside the temple and spoke.
Although the gentle Deacon Devil looks harmless to humans and animals, Akeno’s Uncle’s expression became extremely fearful. And to be able to say such a thing in front of his Lord’s Daughter also shows that he is quite trusted by Rias and Gremory’s family.
After a moment of contemplation, Akeno’s Uncle finally nodded:
“Good!”
The Family lord of Himejima and Agrippa went to the forest to talk, and the other Himejima clan members stared at Rias and Tenraku and all of them left Rias, Akeno, and Tenraku alone.
“Miss Rias, thank you very much for this time.” Tenraku thanked Rias as he was getting supported by Akeno.
“Akeno has a very good qualification, she can become my Peerage and it will strength my Peerage, maybe it’s me who earned big this time,” Rias replied while shaking her head.
“Well, if only Miss Rias had appeared earlier, it would have been better not to be so ‘Timely’.”
Tenraku’s slightly complaining voice made Akeno on the side helplessly glance at him and Rias blushed…
…
“First, you must never enter the territory under our jurisdiction. Second, you and the Gremory family will not act against us in the future. As long as you can abide by these two conditions, we also promise not to take action against you again.”
No one knew what the two were talking about but when the Himejima’s Lord and Agrippa returned to the temple, they faced Akeno and her Uncle spoke seriously.
“Himejima … Can I still keep this surname?”
Akeno asked while biting her lips with complicated fillings in her heart.
“Suit yourself.”
It seemed that he didn’t want to say more and Akeno’s Uncle threw out a sentence and then took his clan members and turned away.
She thought that everything was over but the Himejima clan will never act against Akeno again, but–
“Wait!”
Tenraku’s voice stopped her Uncle and his party who were about to walk out of the temple.
Under the puzzled expression of everyone, Tenraku pointed to Akeno’s Uncle direction with his broken sword and spoke:
“It is none of anyone’s business, but the insult of breaking the sword must be paid back, I will be back to challenge you someday.”
Tenraku’s expression was strangely calm, though he said what he should have said angrily.
“I’ll be waiting for you, boy.”
With a deep look at Tenraku, Akeno’s Uncle no longer stayed and disappeared with his group of people …
…
The Magic circle engraved with the emblem of Gremory’s house exudes a touch of softness. After Akeno’s Uncle and his party left, Rias also wanted to take Akeno back to Gremory’s house.
“Tenraku, I don’t want to leave you …”
It was already decided but the time came for them to part ways, Akeno realized how reluctant she was and hugged Tenraku tightly, and the tears in her eyes rolled out again.
“You fool, you will only become a careless tomboy with me, study with Miss Rias at Gremory’s house. In the future, you will become as beautiful and strong as your mother, and then wait for me to come back to pick you up. “
Tenraku said softly while stroking the girl’s forehead.
The decision to let Rias take Akeno was also made by Tenraku after careful consideration.
He had no Magic talent of his own, nor could he help Akeno in training her. Although he is also extremely reluctant to give her up, keeping Akeno around all the time will only waste a girl’s talent and make her miss the best time to study and train.
Of course, the more important point is that he has not yet had the strength to protect Akeno!
“Lord Tenraku, Akeno is already in my Peerage and I will not return her to you even if you come back in the future.”
Perhaps she couldn’t stand the look of the two of them as Rias’ sour voice was heard.
“Cough, Miss Rias, you should just call me by my name, and please take care of Akeno.” With a slight cough, the two separated awkwardly and Tenraku said to Rias.
“Humph, Akeno is in my Peerage and I will naturally take care of her.”
“Call me Rias, in exchange for this, you will be allowed to call me by my name.”
Rias replied with a slight hum. Despite the girl’s efforts to keep herself look calm as a lady, there was a light blush that couldn’t be suppressed.
As the eldest girl of the Gremory family, maybe it’s the first time she’s talked this way to a guy outside the family.
With a slightly raised mouth, Tenraku couldn’t help but laugh. Who would have thought that this future “Red-Haired Princess” would be tsundere…
“Tenraku, I will wait for you …”
“Please take care, Lord Tenraku.”
The time of parting has come and under Tenraku’s gaze Akeno, Rias, and Agrippa disappeared into the Magic formation.
Tenraku just felt sad as he stood alone in the empty temple for a long time.
He was feeling dazed and lost, but her expression turned firm.
No matter how much it costs or how much effort he needs to put, he wants to become stronger than anyone and stand at the apex of this world.
Then–
He will never let anyone he cherish leave him!
To be continued …
What a garbage chapter, I can’t believe he let her go, when he could send her home and train there she would be part of his nobility, and at the end he says that he doesn’t want anyone else he loves to escape from him, so first place I did not have to suggest it, here I leave it
