The Shiraha Household is actually one of the richest family in First Heaven, mainly because of the Madame of the family, Anne Ainsworth Shiraha, having a great sense for business and investing. She invested in quite a lot of companies who eventually got quite successful, earning them a lot of money.
They also held quite a lot of shares from some major companies all over the human world. The Shiraha House is also known for being one of the very first family in First Heaven who decided to create organizations that helps humans, mainly because they can. Being Angels, it is like second nature to them to help people if it's within their capabilities.
However, that's not all the things that they are well known for. First is the father of the family, Kimuel Ainsworth Shiraha. He's one of the war veterans of the previous Great War, along with his trusty companion, Sebastian.
Yes, Sebastian is also a war veteran. In terms of strength, it wouldn't be a stretch to say that he's at the same level of strength with the monster Vasco Strada. He's also a swordsman but is still not at the level of Vasco's expertise. He's in a level of swordsmanship where he can face Griselda toe to toe, though.
Meanwhile, the only daughter of the Shiraha House grew up into a girl who is not spoiled. She grew up not being pampered by her busy parents and most of the time, she spent her childhood with the maids and the butlers. However, she didn't come to hate her mother and father for it.
She's a girl who understand just how they treasure her. She knew just how much they are working hard, just to give her a good life. She knows and she understands. That's why, whenever her parents are around, she would make the most of it, not wanting to waste this precious bonding time.
This day was one of those rare days. Over the dining table - which is not overly long - just enough for the family and the few servants to sit and eat, the family is talking over a meal that was cooked by the Madame of the Shiraha house herself, Anne.
"How is your studies going, sweetheart? I heard that your 'favorite' 'boy friend' has left to train under the Cardinal Priest of the church?" Anne asked.
If you look at her closely, you would know who Raphiel took after. Anne has a huge shit-eating-grin plastered on her face as she looks at her daughter, giving her a leer.
"I also heard that you cried quite loudly, too. It seems that my baby daughter is growing up too fast~!" Anne added.
However, in response to her teasing, Raphiel just tilted her head a bit to the side and asked,
"Mother, why are you teasing me over something like that? And, why are you stressing out some words like it's important?"
"Also, where did you heard that from!? Who said that I cried!?" Raphiel asked, embarrassed.
Everyone on the dining table couldn't help but think,
'Ah, it looks like the young miss still doesn't understand those things.'
Meanwhile, Kimuel Ainsworth Shiraha was just eating calmly, looking like he was not affected by the whole thing that transpired. However, inwardly, he was sighing in relief.
'Good thing my baby daughter is still innocent. It is still not the time for her to learn about things such as love. She should at least be as old as Gabriel-sama before she starts thinking about those things,' Kimuel thought.
If the Seraph were to hear about this, the man called Kimuel Ainsworth Shiraha would have instantly vanished from the face of First Heaven.

A/N:
• Just a brief chapter to introduce the Shiraha Household. You thought they would have a huge table and talk like some noble s***s? No, they're Angels. They value their family bonding as they rarely get any offspring. Thus, their family bonds are quite solid.
