He was praised by Rias. Of course. We took him on, where he might cry a bit. I thought it would have been rude if we went too easy on him. It seems children are very sensitive to those things.
After I deactivated my armour and received a towel from Rias, I left the training room after saying “I will wash my face”.
I washed my face at the sink located in the big bathroom.
-It was fun.
It must feel like that to play around with your cute younger brother. When he came at me, he looked brave and I had a heart beat which went “Kyuun”. Something like a father’s love toward his child was building inside me.
A brother…….or maybe a son is okay then? I can’t actually have a proper feeling of having a child; I'm still a high school student and I can’t even imagine it. But lately something is building inside me after seeing Ophis (who has the appearance of a child) and Millicas-sama.
“……..Spending time with kids might not be bad.”
I muttered…..
“Ufufu, you are right.”
Akeno-san was suddenly standing behind me! Akeno-san, haven’t you become good at standing behind others, without leaving any presence lately!?
Akeno-san then says, while handing me a bottle with sports drink inside it.
“Lately, I’ve been having a thought.”
“Thought?”
“Yes, a boy and a girl, both would be okay. My feelings get even stronger when I look at Ophis-chan and Millicas-kun.”
“Yeah. Millicas-sama is a good boy and I also don’t get bored of Ophis since she has the cuteness of a small animal.”
These are my true feelings. Their presence is a good stimulus for me.
Ophis doesn’t have a gender. Before she was a geezer and even before that she was something else. Apparently she always changed appearances. But right now, she is a girl. We also interact with Ophis, as if she is a girl.
“Ise-kun, when you get married in the future, would you prefer a boy or a girl?”
“That’s a hard question….. My dream will be fulfilled if I have twins and they are a boy and a girl, but it seems like taking care of them will be twice as hard.”
First a boy, then having a girl might be ideal. As I thought that, Akeno-san started smiling while patting her stomach.
“If it is your child, then I will bear as many as you want.”
………….
……Be…because of her stimulating words, I started to get a nosebleed and began to cough out the sports drink in my mouth.
“Cough!”
I coughed out the drink at the unexpected confession and couldn’t respond to her! I’m such a weak guy!
“Ara ara.”
I ended up having Akeno-san stroke my back! Uggh, I’m so pathetic! The reason my face is red isn’t only because I’m in pain after coughing!
It was then, that I felt a huge wild aura behind me!
When I turned around, a huge man who is more than two meters tall, was standing at the entrance of the bathroom. His orange hair was spiked up and his thick coat was standing out.
Wait, who is he!? Why is he in the Hyoudou residence!?
The giant man smiles at me and Akeno-san.
“Oh oh, Sekiryuutei is coughing in the bathroom. What kind of situation is this?”
No, the question is who are you!?
“Second, you do know that going into the bathroom without permission, is rude?”
I couldn’t talk back because of the cough. Along with the huge man, two other men I haven’t seen before, have appeared as well. One of the men is wearing a crimson robe, with a distinguished design and the other man appears to be Japanese, wearing a haori.
The one who reprimanded the huge man, just now, was the man wearing the haori.
Rather, I’m familiar with this person! I had a glimpse of him during the monster chaos in the Underworld the other day……
Akeno-san was shocked at the appearance of the men. Her shock isn’t because people she doesn’t know appeared, but that of, why are these people, who are known to her, here? ..... She had that kind of face.
Akeno-san then says quietly.
“……They are people from Lucifer's group.”
Yes, it was a sudden visit from some amazing people!
Akeno-san and I returned to the training room, bringing the three people that appeared in the bathroom with us. The one who was the most shocked at this, was Rias and she screamed hysterically.
“Souji! So everyone came here!”
The man wearing a haori called Souji smiled softly.
“Hime[8]. It has been a while. Yes, I thought I should escort Millicas-sama.”
The man called Souji then moves his eyes towards Kiba.
“I’m glad that you are doing well, Yuuto.”
Kiba bows and fixes his posture.
“It’s been a while since summer, Master.”
Yes, this man wearing the haori is Sirzechs-sama’s servant, the [Knight] Okita Souji-san! He is the real captain of the first division of the Shinsengumi! H..he is a historical person! Even a dumb person like me knows about the Shinsengumi!
