Next morning Dexter woke up to the chirping of birds with a bright smile and went to his parent's room only to see them sleeping feeling bad to disturbing them he went out of the room silently and started his daily practice which has become a routine for him. Then he went to freshen up and after that ordered his breakfast.
Finally when it was 10 am his parents woke up only to find Dexter on leaning on sofa and eating ice cream. To which his mother scolded him, to not eat ice cream in the morning to which he reluctantly agreed. He liked living like a child and enjoyed his mothers scolding care but he was not an M or may be a little bit but only to his loved one.
Seeing his parents awake he started to nag them to get ready to which his parents accepted with reluctance. He told them that they were going to camping in forest for the day. To which parents became stunned as they haven't thought about it and thought it's a good idea they also became spirited and his dad went out to get the necessities and his mom prepared some snacks.
Finally within half an hour his father returned and they were ready to go out. He also took his little back pack which his father prepared in case of emergency.
Seeing everything going according to his plan he took his parents to a route less traveled to which his parents became suspicious but thinking it as a child's curiosity they just followed him and after an hour they finally found a good spot with a nice scenery around and started to camp and that place just happened to be 10 – 15 meters away from Akeno's house. After they have set the barbecue they started to roast the beef and chicken they had brought.
"Mama I can smell something nice. Can I see what it is? Pretty please." Akeno asked her mother in a sweet voice which her mother can't refuse.
"All right sweetie we both will go and look for it." Yuri replied with a smile but became suspicious as no one comes here and it will first time for them meeting someone here and as this place is hidden by a powerful artifact no one can find this place as she was sure of this. That's why she became curious.
After taking Akeno by hand they exited the barrier only to find a small family camping a few meters away and they have even had a little some who was so cute that she wanted to cuddle him. After taking a few steps near to them the family also noticed a new arrival and became a little started as they haven't thought that they will find someone in this place.
"Hello" Both Yuri and Dexter's mom greeted simultaneously.
"It's rare to see people deep in the forest are you lost." Yuri asked politely.
To which Dexter's mom said in a surprise," are we deep in forest we have only walked for an hour."
"Yes its pretty deep, but no need to worry as its safe here my husband already cleared all the dangerous animal in this area." Yuri said.
"Oh thank god our little Dexter wanted to have a camping in the forest and we just followed his steps as it's his first time camping." Dexter's mom said pointing at little boy who was hiding behind her. "Dexter come and say hello to aunt." Dexter's mom said to Dexter to which he happily obliged.
"Hello aunt my name is Dexter Hyoudou. I am 4 Years old." Dexter said with a bow.
To which Yuri immediately started to cuddle him and after some time she asked Akeno to introduce herself. To which Akeno shyly came forward to introduce herself.
"Hello my name is Himejima Akeno and I am 5 years old." Seeing such a cutie girl Sakura Hyoudou( Dexter's mom) also took her in her arms and kissed her cheeks.
Seeing almost same type of reaction from both the mom Dexter just shrugged his shoulders internally.
Finally seeing both the women getting along finally Lei Hyoudou said," Oh how rude of me let me introduce myself, I am Lei Hyoudou Dexter's father and this lady over here is my wife Sakura. Will you like to join us?"
"Oh I am very sorry to disturb you. I am Yuri Himejima. I used to be a priestess but I have retired." Yuri replied with a bow.
"Oh please don't be shy its really rare to find a company in this place so we are happy that you can join." Lei Hyoudou replied. Then the adults started their talks about the things in the word and after a few moments the barbecue was ready so Lei handed a plate to Dexter and asked him to bring it to Akeno who was looking at the barbecue without blinking.
"Hello Akeno would you like to have this." Dexter asked slyly.
To which Akeno timidly nodded and extended her hand. But Dexter moved it a little and every time she tried to catch it he would move it away seeing that she is unable to catch it no matter what she did Akeno started to have tears seeing this Dexter became flustered and hurriedly handed her the plate seeing this spectacle their parents began to laugh and Dexter watched Akeno he would sometimes take a napkin and brush her mouth. Seeing this scene both family felt warm.
After having lunch Dexter started to play with Akeno around the camp. Slowly time passed and it was time for them to leave Akeno started to cry but when Dexter told her that he will come again in the morning she reluctantly let them leave. Yuri also felt sad about the departure but she can't do anything and wait for the morning.
The next day Hyoudou family arrived early in the morning and they had breakfast and lunch.
Suddenly Dexter started to look at Yuri very carefully, seeing this Yuri also looked at him then suddenly he asked," Aunt Yuri you are so beautiful and Akeno will be as beautiful as you can I marry Akeno when she is old enough."
Hearing such a question from 4 year old Yuri suddenly became stunned and she smiled suddenly," little Dexter if you want to marry Akeno it won't be easy but if you are strong enough to protect her then I will let you marry her."
"Don't worry Aunt Yuri I will certainly become strong to protect my family and since you have agreed then I want to gift you something which I bought from my pocket money." Dexter said.
Hearing such a mature response Yuri was again surprised and she finally remembered what his parents told her about him.
While Yuri was busy with herself, Dexter has brought two boxes with him. Seeing the box Lei and Sakura both gave a knowing smile as they had gone with him to buy that before they left for the trip.
These were not any ordinary item they were protection and transportation talisman which he had exchanged from system for 500 sp each.
Protection talisman was for Akeno it can protect one person from any kind of attack. It also a built in food order bar which will activate on the first activation of talisman it also has a recording function and he had already recorded a message for Akeno and Transportation talisman was for Yuri it can transport one person to his space item who is on his/her last breath. This way he will be able to save her. He also gave Yuri a note which he asked her to open only when they had left to which Yuri thought was a little childish. But in the end she accepted it.
After that Dexter Played with Akeno until she fell asleep from fatigue as it was already evening and they had to catch a train. Dexter left Akeno reluctantly but he needed to go to become strong enough to protect everyone.
But after his parents and he had walked a long way he returned to give Yuri a final reminder to not take it as a joke as he will really marry Akeno and he finally ran away. Seeing such a antics Yuri gave a pleasant smile and finally opened his letter.
"Mother-in-law if you are reading this then you have accepted my marriage something's I can't tell you at the moment as I am also not too clear about them but those two ambulates were given to me by my master he is Avery powerful person he can conjure five elements and can even fly. I wanted to leave you with some kind of protection as you live in a forest so please dip a drop of your blood on the green one and a drop of Akeno's blood on yellow one it can protect you I don't know how but they were meant for me but since I am always with him so I didn't think I will need them. I hope you can believe me. And please keep it secret from anyone else as everyone will be curious on how it works and would dismantle it and I don't know if I will be able to meet you guys anytime soon. With love and care Dexter."
Yuri became really stunned after reading the letter and started to inspect the amulets and after thinking for a while she finally decided to believe him. She knew her husband and his boss very well they will surely dismantle it and since he is my son in law he will definitely won't harm me or Akeno, Specially Akeno and she concluded it after seeing him for two days. Alright let's do it she dripped a drop of blood on the green amulet it suddenly became alike and started to sprout golden chain and suddenly fixed itself on her neck like pendent and it also has function to hide itself. She did the same with Akeno who winced a little but the yellow pendent fixed itself on her neck. Seeing this she smiled proudly as if she has found the Mr. Right for her girl.
After a few hours Akeno woke up and started to search for Dexter and after not finding him for few mins she started to cry. Seeing her girl in this state Yuri hurriedly started to console her and even showed her the give that Dexter left for her seeing the gift Akeno became all smiles and then Yuri told her that that will meet again in the future. Hearing her mother, Akeno became spirited again and looked forwarded to the future. Akeno as a fallen angel has her perks and she never forgets anyone who could enter her heart like this. Yuri also told Akeno to keep the secret about pendant to which both mother and daughter made a pinkie promise.
