Gabriel and Issa walked in the throne room, and then Issa sealed the door to not make anyone enter.
Issa: Alright, what are you, I don't recognize your species…
Gabriel: I'm a Chimera Ant.
Issa: A chimera…
Gabriel: No, no… Don't confuse me with that rip off, it's a long explanation that I don't want to explain now, but I am entirely different from the normal chimera that you know.
Issa: Mh… Then, I want to give you the last rosary that I have. 'I can't let 'that thing' wake up… But...'
Issa was a bit conflicted, he couldn't let 'that thing' wake up, but he really liked his daughters, so much that he would try anything to make them happy
Gabriel: From your tone it seems that it is something important, is it connected with the thing under us?
Issa: No comment, let me get it…
Issa walked in his throne room, and picked something from the throne, it was a silver rosary with a red gem at the center of it, it was just like the one Moka broke to free her inner self. Then he walked towards Gabriel and gave it to him.
Issa: Give it to Moka, she will need it, but if she doesn't want it, then you can just return it to me.
Gabriel: Mh… Then can you give it to her instead of me?
Issa was surprised from Gabriel's words, and waited for him to continue.
Gabriel: If I would give the rosary to her, then she may feel as if she is doing it only for me, which gives her a bit of pressure, but if you give it to her, she would have no pressure in her mind, and be able to clearly think about it.
Issa understood what he meant and smiled, then he patted Gabriel's shoulder and said.
Issa: I feel lucky to have a son-in-law like you.
Gabriel: W-What?! Whoa, whoa, whoa, don't call me that now, do it when me and Moka 'Actually' get married.
Issa chuckled a bit.
Issa: Well, I will still approve, you have a good heart and you are strong, I will wait for you and my daughter to marry. You can even look around now, but don't go in the basement, you will be in danger.
Then he walked away towards Moka, who was in another room. Gabriel did as he said, and looked around the castle without going down, he was sure from what Issa told him, whatever was under the castle had enough power to match him in his Ren state, but he was still weaker than his battle form.
When Gabriel entered a random room, something almost tackled his face, but Gabriel was fast enough to grab whatever it was, then he retracted his hand from his face and looked whatever it was.
Ko: Let me go!!!!
Gabriel's eye twitched, it was again that bat from the date of him and Moka.
Gabriel: ...The fuck?
Ko: Eh? ...It's you!!!
Gabriel just threw the bat in the room and closed the door once again before leaving, from the door there were screams.
Ko: Let me out!! Hey!!
Gabriel ignored those sounds and continued to walk away.
[Later]
Gabriel visited almost all the place, and now he was looking for Moka, when he heard a familiar scream and hastily walked towards that direction, soon, he seen a pink blur passing beside him and someone else following it.
Kokoa: COME HERE!!!!! GIVE ME BACK MY BIG SISTER!!!!!
It seems that Moka accepted the gift and was running away from a furious Kokoa who had a chainsaw in her hands. Gabriel sighed in amusement and looked at them running around, soon he felt an hand over his shoulder and found Issa with a smile.
Issa: She decided.
Gabriel: I see…
Issa: You know… I had a beautiful wife… She looked exactly like my daughter right now…
Gabriel: 'Had'? Then…
Issa sighed and nodded his head, Gabriel stopped talking and looked at the two girls running everywhere with a smile.
Issa: Well, I hope you will take care of Moka, otherwise I will break your legs…
Gabriel: Heh, you are too weak to do that.
Issa let out a little chuckle, from the talk they had, he knew that Gabriel would protect Moka, so he just watched with Gabriel his daughters, then he had something in mind and asked.
Issa: How much time are you going to stay here?
Gabriel: Until the academy will be repaired.
Issa smiled, it wasn't bad having a male companion in this almost deserted castle, there were only vampire servants that would just kneel and stay silent every time Issa was near, and now there was someone who he could talk with man to man.
[1 week later]
Gabriel was living peacefully with Issa, Moka and Kokoa, Moka was really happy to be back thanks to the rosary and hugged both her father and Gabriel.
Kokoa was still angry about Moka's outer self being back, but she became friendly to Gabriel with time, sometimes Gabriel would spar with Kokoa, but it would end always with Gabriel's victory.
Issa was being even more friendly, telling his stories to Gabriel and teaching him more on martial arts, while Gabriel would tell about his time with Moka in the academy.
During this time, he would feed on random ghouls that he would find around the place, helping Issa and the others, while feeding, his Nen increased of a whopping 20% and acquired healing capabilities, which are usable only with Nen.
But during his fight with Meruem every night, it seems that he can't use any nen ability, and Meruem got strong too, probably because he and Gabriel are connected, so their Nen are identical.
When Gabriel would wake up, he would get a couple of scratches that would immediately heal, unfortunately, the damage Gabriel did to Meruem would heal after the fight, but fortunately no one in the castle knew about this thing, it would be a mess explaining it.
Right now, Gabriel was sparring once again with Kokoa, she had a giant hammer in her hand and brought it down to Gabriel, who used only one arm to block the hit.
Gabriel: Too slow.
Then Gabriel's tail shot forward and gently slapped Kokoa's stomach, making her fly away and crash in a wall.
Kokoa: H-How… How can you… be so strong… Guh…
Gabriel: An abominable amount of fruit juice!
Kokoa didn't heard him and fell unconscious, Moka(Outer), who was watching from the sides, stood up and said to Gabriel.
Moka: Hey, didn't you got too hard with Kokoa?
Gabriel: Heh, I'm already holding back.
Moka sighed and walked towards Kokoa to help her while Gabriel walked away while whistling, he needs to eat again, unfortunately the Ghouls are almost finished here and he needs to start to eat tasteless meat...
