Chapter 21 - A delayed meeting

Daniele pov

 

 

"Sooo, what happened"

 

 

I gave Tobio's question a confused look.

 

 

"What do you mean?"

 

 

Tobio raised an eyebrow at me and pointed to my side. 

 

 

Lavinia was sulking, glaring at me  

 

 

"Because Dany ignores me "

 

 

 

"I'm not ignoring you, Lavinia"

 

 

 

"Liar!!!"

 

 

"I can't liar"

 

 

 

"Then look at my eyes!!!"

 

 

 

I turned and looked at Lavinia to my left. 

 

 

Deep sapphire eyes and long golden hair 

 

 

'Dany~~~~'

 

 

I immediately turned away when a particular scene came to my mind 

 

 

"Look!! He's ignoring me. Bully!!  "

 

 

We were currently having the breakfast prepared by Tobio at the breakfast table. Tobio was looking at us with a curious look, Azazel was raising one eyebrow, and Asia was sitting on the other side of me, looking at us with a surprised look. 

 

 

Jin, Regulus and Bester were also lying in the corner. 

 

 

"Did Daniele-san and Lavinia-san have a fight?"

 

 

"No, we didn't fight, Asia."

 

 

"That's right, Dany is bullying me unilaterally."

 

 

"I told you I'm not bullying you"

 

 

"Then why?"

 

----------------------------------------

Azazel pov

 

 

Hehehe~~I'm already having fun this morning. It was definitely the right decision to let Exorcist-boy stay. 

 

 

While they were having their own argument, I decided to question Tobio. 

 

 

"Oi Tobio, what was the last thing Lavinia did yesterday?"

 

 

"Hmmm~, she disappeared after drinking some alcohol . So I assumed she went to sleep. Now that I think about it, I think  she was drunk."

 

 

I suddenly became rigid 

 

 

A drunk chick + a young man who can't even look at the other person =

 

 

When a smile appeared on my face, Tobio for some reason gave me a look as if he wanted to get away from me. 

 

 

He even moved his chair away!!I have a heart too, you brats, I'm hurting

 

 

"So, the reason why Daniele ran away from Lavinia was because of thing  was yesterday? "

 

 

Tobio asked but that idiot raised his voice a little too loud!!

 

---------------------------------------

third person pov 

 

 

Daniele suddenly  into a cold sweat and Lavinia immediately turned to Tobio and Azazel. 

 

 

"Now that you mention it, Daniele told me this morning that he wanted to talk about 'what happened yesterday', but when I said I didn't remember, he looked at me like a dead fish."

 

 

This analogy caused Daniele to twitch his eyebrows and Asia in the corner to giggle quietly. 

 

 

Then she quickly turned back to Daniele, startling the poor kid. 

 

 

"Daniele, I don't remember what happened, but you can tell me."

 

 

As Lavinia's face came closer to his, Daniele kept remembering yesterday. 

 

 

He was about to say something and look away, but he stopped when he saw her eyes watering slightly.

 

 

'What will I do with you?'

 

 

He finally let out a sigh and looked at the face that was staring closely at him.

 

 

"Like I said, I'm not bullying you or hating you. I'm just a little tired this morning."

 

 

"..... Really"

 

 

Daniele answered, still keeping eye contact. 

 

 

"Really "

 

 

 

Lavinia hugged Daniele without saying a word 

 

 

"Don't do anything like that again, you dummy."

 

 

Daniele gave a wry smile as he returned the hug. 

 

 

'Finally I can't resist her again'

 

 

"COUGH!!!"

A loud cough brought me to his senses 

 

 

A blushing Asia, a smiling Tobio, and a grinning Azazel were looking at they

 

 

"Tobio can you give me some bitter coffee. The sweetness in this is going to kill me"

 

 

"I was going to buy one for myself too. It wouldn't be a problem to bring it to you too"

 

 

"Awawawaw---"

 

 

Blushing, Asia covered her face with her hands, but watched carefully through the gap between her fingers. 

 

 

While Daniele's reaction to this situation was to blush slightly, Lavinia was rubbing her head on his neck. 

 

------------------------------------------

Daniele was now getting ready to leave on his motorcycle in front of the Bar. 

 

 

Was it a coincidence that the motorcycle looked like Saber's? Definitely (¬‿¬)

 

 

"Then I entrust Asia to you, Tobio, Lavinia. "

 

 

"Don't worry,  A-chan will make a perfect Mahou-Shoujou~~"

 

 

Lavinia said hugging Asia from behind 

 

 

"Where will Daniele-san go?"

 

 

Asia said with a sad expression and for some reason Daniele felt like he had kicked the puppy 

 

 

"Let's call it a belated family reunion."

 

 

He said as he reached out and caressed her head 

 

 

"Daniele-san's family"

 

 

Asia was blushing at her own imagination 

 

 

"It means family. You're going to go see them, right, they're in Kuoh after all."

 

 

"Well, it's even too late"

 

 

Vroooom!!!! Vrom! Vroom!!

 

 

Daniele got on the motorcycle and gave some gas. 

 

 

 

"See you later!!!!"

 

 

VROOOOOOO!!!

 

 

As he turned around and walked forward, the people waiting looked after him.

 

 

"He's gone "

 

 

When Asia bent her head slightly, she felt the arms around her tighten and her head was buried between two soft objects. 

 

"Come on, let's surprise him with the magic you learned."

 

"Y-yes!!"

 

-------------------------------------

 

Kuoh Academy 

 

 

Kuoh academy is a prestigious school that was previously a girls' school but has now become co-educational. 

 

 

Therefore, the ratio of girls to boys is extremely dominant 

 

 

The school adopts the "escalator" system, meaning that primary school, secondary school, high school and university are intertwined, and as long as a certain grade point average is maintained, one can directly pass to the upper grade without an exam. 

 

 

*Riiiiiiiiiiiiiing*

 

 

With the sound, students finally started to leave out, but many of those who were preparing to leave stopped because their attention was drawn to a person leaning on a motorcycle outside the school. 

 

 

He was doing something with his phone in his hand, but from where he was, it wasn't hard to understand that he was waiting for someone. 

 

 

Of course, it was someone else who caught the girls' attention. 

 

 

"Hey, hey, did you see this? He's so handsome."

 

 

"Right, I think he's even more handsome than Kiba."

 

 

"Nonsense. It's impossible for him to be more handsome than Kiba-kun. Even if he looks good, Kiba looks better"

 

 

"Do you think he might be waiting for his girlfriend?

 

 

 

"Maybe it's one of the onee-samas"

 

 

"Kyaaa!! Is this even possible?"

 

 

Of course, it wasn't just girls who spoke. 

 

 

"Damn, a second kiba"

 

 

"But the motorcycle is really nice"

 

 

"I agree, what is the model of this?"

 

 

"Damn!! Die Riajuuu"

 

 

 

Meanwhile, as for the young man whose back was turned to them, 

 

Daniele pov 

'I can hear you!!!!!'

 

Seriously, what is it with these people here and their whispering? Shouldn't whispering be 'silent'!!??

 

 

[Why, are you embarrassed Riajuuu~~~]

 

 

 

<...You don't miss any opportunity, do you >

 

 

[That's part of my charm]

 

"Can I ask what you are doing in front of the academy?"

 

 

 

The sudden cold tone made me startle and I turned to where the voice was coming from. 

 

 

There were two women in front of me, the first one was a girl with slim body, short bob cut, black hair, and violet eyes with glasses, who looked to be around the same age as me. 

 

 

The other girl had hair that was the same color as previous girl , but unlike the previous girl, it reached her knees. She had a plump figure and heterochromic eyes, with her left eye purple and her right eye light brown , she was wearing glasses like the other girl 

 

 

[Devils. ]

 

 

 

 

Of course I knew who the two were.

 

 

 

"Well I was waiting for someone"

 

 

 

"Dark brown hair and golden eyes. A jeweled cross, of course.Can I assume it's Daniele Berti?"

 

 

She questioned by pushing her glasses and covering them with light. 

 

 

[Isn't this the trick you tried before with fake glasses in front of your mirror]

 

 

 

 

 

"I did not expect to be known by the heiress of the Sitri Clan"

 

 

She pushed her glasses again, making the light covering them disappear 

 

 

Seriously stop it ,I'm so jealous 

 

 

"It's not hard considering your show a while ago"

 

 

"Well, in my defence. All I did was respond ."

 

 

While I was looking at her with a slight smile, she was looking at me with a serious look, Tsubaki behind her was waiting alertly. 

 

 

"As long as you don't cause trouble for others"

 

 

"Certainly "

 

 

When I looked back at the people coming, my eyes widened when I saw the person coming. 

 

 

"Well, I guess there's no need to wait"

 

 

"Hai??"

 

 

I ignored Sona's confused voice and moved towards a certain spot 

 

 

I walked until I finally blocked a girl's path 

 

 

"May I help you "

 

 

The woman in front of me had brown hair arranged in curls. Her light brown eyes, almost amber, were the same as my mother's

 

She and the two girls behind her were also wearing white tennis clothes 

 

 

"Well you could say I came here for you"

 

 

 

When she blinked, I heard two girls around her age shouting behind her.

 

 

"Kyaaaa!! This is a confession, isn't it?"

 

 

 

"He told the captain that he came here for her!! Very romantic"

 

 

"I don't think I know you "

 

 

"Well this is our first time meeting"

 

 

My relative in front of me raised one eyebrow. 

 

 

"Well, it would be best to introduce myself first."

 

 

I extended my hand

 

"I'm Daniele, Daniele 'Abe' Berti"

 

 

I won't deny that I absolutely enjoyed seeing her eyes widen in surprise and her mouth open slightly during the 'Abe' part 

 

 

"Did you just say 'Abe'?"

 

 

"I said so "

 

 

"Follow me "

 

 

Suddenly she grabbed my hand and guided me towards the limousine 

 

 

"I came with my own vehicle"

 

 

She looked confused when I pointed to my motorcycle. 

 

 

"Then follow the limousine "

 

 

"It suits me "

 

 

[The girl with glasses in the back had a similar scent to Kiyotora-boy and their appearances are also similar]

 

 

 

 

[So, what will you do ]

 

 

 

----------------------------------------------

third person pov 

 

 

"Kaichou, did they ignore us? "

 

 

Tsubaki looked at her king, who didn't say anything, and then suddenly stiffened as she spoke again. 

 

 

She felt that she saw a not-so-friendly aura around her king.

 

 

She loves and respects her king but Maou knows her anger is terrible  

 

 

"....Let's go Tsubaki"

 

 

She obeyed her king's words, even though hearing the voice several times colder than before made her shiver. 

 

 -----------------------------------------

Bar Slash Dog 

Lavinia pov 

Watching A-chan try the water magic in front of me seriously reminds me of being a kid 

 

 

She is trying to change the state of the water in the jar on the counter in front of her. 

 

 

I gave her the necessary formulas, even though the magic consisted of mathematics and formulas, strangely enough, someone with talent memorized it faster and easier. 

 

 

Even though magic involved logic and equations, it still retained its great mystery. Maybe that's what makes it so fascinating 

 

 

But seriously, Daniele surrounds himself with cute girls. Dummy

 

 

Asia smiled brightly as she finally made the water in the jar float and float in the air between her hands. 

 

 

"Well done A-chan"

 

 

I said while clapping my hands, my words seemed to cause her face to turn red. 

 

 

Fufu~~~ how cute 

 

 

"Okay A-chan, we've done the hard part, now try to change the structure of the water."

 

 

I calmly watched Asia's focused expression 

 

 

After seconds , the water between her hands trembled and began to bubble as it released steam. 

 

 

I tried to distract her by waving my hands. 

 

 

Even though the water seemed to fall several times, it eventually stood still. 

 

 

I nodded proudly.

 

 

"Well done A-chan now we will learn similar ones in other elements and then use elemental attacks for offensive purposes "

 

 

A-chan squirmed a little 

 

 

"Can I---Do I really need to learn attack magic ?"

 

 

This girl.....I understand 

 

 

 

"Can I ask why A-chan?"

 

 

I asked, using as gentle and soothing a tone as I could. 

 

 

 

"I don't want to harm others. Isn't it bad to harm others? "

 

 

"Hmmm~~ Actually, that depends A-Chan"

 

 

 

"Ha???"

 

 

"Do you think police officers  is a bad person? "

 

 

"They help people, so no, right? "

 

 

"So, is Dany a bad person? "

 

 

"Of course not, Daniele-san saved my life, he's such a good person!"

 

 

 

"But there are times when cops have to use violence to stop criminals, and as for Dany...  he's an exorcist. He's killed many vampires, devils and werewolves." 

 

 

"Th-this"

 

 

"Listen to me Asia"

 

 

I used her full name to emphasize my seriousness 

 

 

"I've had two teachers so far .The first of these was the person who taught me the basics of magic, but later I learned that she was using me for her own purposes. All her affection for me was basically a lie.

 My second teacher saw me as his own daughter and supported me in every way he could. 

 

But these two different teachers told me the same thing. "

 

 

"They---what they said"

 

A-chan asked curiously. 

 

 

"'The supernatural world isn't as kind as you think. No matter how hard you try to avoid hurting others, you're going to have to do it eventually.'"

 

 

A-chan in front of me gripped the corner of her clothes and bowed her head. 

 

 

"Asia, do you want to protect Dany?"

 

 

Asia then lifted her head and looked directly at me with her emerald eyes. 

 

 

"Yes!!!"

 

 

"Then you must do more than protect and defend, otherwise you will merely be a hindrance to Dany and left behind.But never forget that 'sometimes too much kindness does more harm than violence'."

 

 

"If you still don't want to learn offensive magic after this, I won't force you to do so."

 

 

Asia in front of me took a deep breath 

 

 

"Lavinia-san please...please teach me attack magic!!!"

 

 

I wasn't late to put my arms around the girl in front me

 

"Of course, A-chan"

 --------------------------------------------

third person pov 

 

 

Currently there was a motorcycle and a limousine parked in front of a mansion. 

 

 

The teenager in the motorcycle  took off his helmet and threw it into the space storage 

 

 

A beautiful woman wearing a white tennis outfit got out of the limousine and they walked together towards the mansion whose door was opened. 

 

 

"I didn't expect you to believe me so easily."

 

 

Daniele said to his relative walking next to his.

 

 

"I didn't, but I can't rule out the possibility that it's true, so it's better to take you directly to the Family Head ."

 

 

"I guess the head of the family is your relative."

 

 

"My dad"

 

 

"Heh~~ a princess huh"

 

 

"I don't think I've ever become a princess"

 

 

She told Daniele with an amused smile 

 

 

 

He was about to say something

 

 

 

"Welcome Kiyome, so who is with you?"

 

 

Daniele was speechless when he turned to the voice. 

 

 

[This..interesting fashion sense]

 

 

The comment made Daniele's eyebrows twitch because the man in front of hia  was wearing a cloak and a horned helmet. 

 

 

"Your boyfriend or "

 

 

"No!!!"

 

 

Daniele quickly denied this, after all, he doesn't want to be misunderstood with his own relative!!

 

 

 

"Then who are you!!"

 

 

Daniele calmed down after the earlier outburst and coughed into his fist before addressing the man in front of his

 

 

"I'm Daniele 'Abe' Berti. Nice to meet you?"

 

 

When he finally heard the name 'Abe', he looked at the boy in front of him more carefully, but as he continued to look at him, it was as if he saw the figure of someone on him. 

 

 

"Aki-nee??"

 

 

".....If you are talking about Aki Abe, she is my mother"

 

 

"What?!!!"

 -----------------------------------------

Currently, three people were sitting in a luxurious living room, Kiyome Abe and his father were on one side, Daniele was on the other side, there were desserts and snacks in the middle. 

 

 

"I am Abe Akihiro. The current head of the Abe family .You claim to be my sister's son. Do you have proof?"

 

 

Daniele nodded and took out his phone and handed it to him. 

 

 

Akihiro picked up the phone and was stunned by the pictures he saw. There was a photo of Aki hugging a young Daniele 

 

 

Akihiro then looked at the other photos and saw a smiling man next to him who had the same hair and eye color as the boy in front of him. 

 

 

He looked at the photos for a while and finally sighed. 

 

 

"Indeed she is"

 

 

"You not told me you had a sister, dad."

 

 

"Well, it's a bit complicated"

 

 

"If you don't mind, I'd like to hear it. "

 

 

At Daniele's words, Akihiro took off his helmet and scratched his wavy hair. 

 

 

"My sister took after my father .Free-spirited, stubborn, does not like restrictions"

 

 

"He used to say that I looked more like my mother "

 

 

"Even though I had his  stubbornness, its wasn't as extreme as my older sister. "

 

 

'Sister, what are you doing with the dragon?!!

 

'The old man lets him lied down , I'll ride him'

 

' Sister, where were you at night!!!'

'I slept outside with my father's cerberus'

 

'Sister, don't eat my sweets!!'

 

'You are too young, these are harmful to you'

 

 

'What is this helmet and cloak?'

'Happy birthday, these will make you look cooler.'

 

Akihiro chuckled,

 

 

' now that I think about it, My older sister was a real pain in the ass when she was little. '

 

 

"My father and my sister got into a fight and eventually my sister left the house "

 

 

Akihiro continued while Daniele and Kiyome listened intently. 

 

 

"I haven't heard from her for years. If I know her, she probably didn't say anything out of spite. My father didn't call her directly because of the same stubbornness, but he was secretly investigating."

 

 

"We were astonished when we finally received a letter after many years. "

 

 

"....I'm fine, I've made my own way. Don't worry.... These were written in the letter and there was also a photo inside. "

 

 

He took out a photo from his pocket and it showed Aki in a hospital bed, smiling happily with tears in her eyes, and hugging a baby. 

 

 

"Before my father died, he asked me to find my sister no matter what. "

 

 

 

Akihiro stood up and confronted Daniele directly 

 

 

"You are my sister's son, so you are  my nephew . If there is something you want from me, I will do my best to do it."

 

 

 

Daniele looked nervous for a while, then he lightly scratched the back of the press and spoke with a nervous smile. 

 

 

"So do you know a place where dragons gather?"

 

Akihiro's eyebrow twitched a little as Kiyome suddenly turned her head to Daniele and looked at him in surprise. 

 

 

'*sigh* This kid looks like he's going to cause a lot of trouble. ....Definitely Aki-nee's son '
