Chunibyo’s Fanfic - Volume 1 Chapter 37 You Are Not My Father
After leaving that place hope and Akeno came back home, Baraqiel, Odin and Rossewiese also came with them…
Azazel also then came to hope household so that he can greet Odin and know why he was here…
Baraqiel called hope and Akeno in the study room, which was besides Hope’s room.
Baraqiel- Akeno, i want to talk with you.
Akeno- don’t call my name so casually.
hope was sitting beside Akeno as Baraqiel sat in front of them.
Baraqiel- what is the meaning of meeting hope in a place like that.
Akeno- I can do what I want to! what right do you have to do anything about the matter!
Baraqiel- as your father..
before he could continue speaking Akeno interrupted.
Akeno- then why didn’t you come that time!? when Mom and I were alone! when mom died protecting me! if you were my father you would have come to save us! but you did NOT!
Disappear from my sight!! YOU ARE NOT MY FATHER!!
Akeno cried and shouted at Baraqiel as she said this.
Baraqiel hearing this, stood up and walked away from the room.
Akeno cried hugging hope as he was sitting beside her..
hope lifted her as a princess and took her into his room.
they sat on the bed of Hope’s room..
Akeno- *snort ara ara, do you want to do it? to make me stop cry?
hope didn’t say anything and gave a light hand-chop on her head..
Akeno- *ouch, what was that for!
hope- for making your father sad.
Akeno- didn’t you hear from me!, that what he did to me and my mother!?
hope- did he kill your mother? the answer is no, you should ask him his side of story too, but I can vaguely tell his story too, that what he was doing all time when he left you and your mother alone….
Akeno- what did he do?
hope- you told your mother was killed by himejima clan members right?
Akeno- yes. *she said with a sad tone.
hope- i guess he was holding of the fallen angels by that time, that too singlehandedly just to protect you both, he would not have thought that her wife’s own clan members would kill her..
Akeno’s eyes were wide open hearing hope, why couldn’t she think about this? was she too blind in her hate towards her father?
Akeno- I am sorry.
hope- don’t sorry me and don’t sorry Baraqiel too.
Akeno- why?
hope- if he can’t take responsibility, then he should have never loved her as well, it’s his fault too in some reason, but you shouldn’t blame him for everything that happened.
Akeno- hm, then what should I do?
hope- give him time and don’t talk rudely to him from now on and listen to what he says,he thinks only good for you, you are not the only one who lost your mother, he also his love so consider his feelings as your father.
Akeno- ara ara, my future husband is too smart and understanding…
Akeno went back to her teasing mode as her sorrow was gone now, thanks to hope.
hope- sorry, but I don’t take relationsh.i.p.s lightly, I consider, that you have feelings for me, but I’m too scared to form any relation, as I have trust issues.
hope left the room saying that.
Akeno now understood that why he is so serious about relationsh.i.p.s, he helped her to bring her out of her past and from the blind hatred towards her dad, she decided that she will help hope bring him out of his past too.
she clenched her fist as she promised that to herself….
….
hope after leaving the room went towards 6th floor, as Odin and Azazel were having a meeting there.
hope when entered the floor, he saw Azazel, Rias and Odin sitting together talking some stuff.
Odin saw hope coming out of the lift.
Odin- young man, good to see you.
Odin was very fond of hope as he helped his son Loki, alot.
hope- oh you are still alive?
hearing this Azazel laughed out loud and Rias only chuckled holding her laugh, as she didn’t wanted to make a bad impression of hers towards the Norse god.
Odin- you are too rude to a old man like me. *he said acting like a crying old man.
hope- I don’t see that Valkyrie with you..
Odin’s mood changed.
Odin- ooh.. are you interested in her? *smug face.
hope- it’s just that she keeps shouting ‘lord Odin’ whenever is see her.
Odin- you won’t have to worry about that now and she’s btw helping those 2 girls and sekiryuutei in thier homework right now.
hope- Oh, ise must be enjoying then right now.
hope looked at Rias.
Rias got, what he was saying trying to say, it was as if ‘go get ise! it’s your chance to shine now, help him in his homework!’
Rias- then I’ll leave now, I got some work to do.
Rias then entered the lift.
Azazel- Baraqiel is on the terrace right now.
hope- you are smart Azazel, I’ll be wary of you in the future.
Azazel- hahaha, I’ve not lived thousands of years doing nothing and there’s nothing to be wary of me..
he said the last line with a serious tone.
hope- that I’ll decide, then don’t die old man, until we meet next time.
Odin- hahaha, then see you next time young man.
Odin- wait, how did he know I’m gonna leave?
Azazel- hahaha!!
…
hope then left for the terrace, he saw Baraqiel looking at the city from the terrace.
hope went and stood beside him.
hope- don’t suicide Baraqiel, or a girl would cry madly after your death.
Baraqiel- I don’t care even if I die now, you can take care of Akeno now, not like certain someone who was too weak to protect his family.
Baraqiel had sadness in his tone.
hope- then don’t die and look out for her until the end, coz she might blame herself if you die alone.
Baraqiel- thank you.
hope- mention not.
[quatz- partner you should start counseling people.]
qautz was observing hope through out the day and he learned more about his partner now and how he feels.
