Shall we go to the training space then? More importantly, I was told about an interesting story……ufufu.”
Is it me or does Akeno-san look like she is excited? It seems like Penemue-oneesan told her something. Akeno-san and I left the meeting room after saying our farewells to them. It happens when we were walking within the facility and went past the resting area. There is a man with a good physique sitting on a long chair near the vending machine. A face I have seen somewhere……actually that’s—! “So you were here.”
Akeno-san responds immediately. Yes! This person is Akeno-san’s father, Barakiel-san! Even Barakiel-san himself is so astonished at Akeno-san’s appearance that he spits out the bottle of drink he was drinking where he went “Bubuuu!”. Barakiel-san asks Akeno-san while coughing. “A-Akeno! W-What’s wrong? For you to come here……”
I stroke Barakiel-san’s back who is coughing. I never thought this person who was so strict before would show a reaction like this…… Seems like a visit from his daughter was something so shocking that he never imagined it. Akeno-san takes out a plastic container from the paper bag. When she opens the lid, delicious looking cooked food appears. Oh, that is one of Akeno-san’s cooking that she specialises in, chicken stew with taro and vegetables. It’s an excellent dish that has a superb taste and it will make you eat many servings of rice with it! It’s my favourite! If I remember now, Akeno-san was in charge of the dinner menu yesterday and she made chicken stew with taro and vegetables. So it’s leftovers from yesterday huh. She made more than she usually does, but was it because……
“I thought of making you a lunch box because I made too much chicken stew with taro and vegetables.”
While saying that, Akeno-san takes out a pack with rice inside and also a magical bottle. Maybe that magical bottle contains a miso soup? We also sit on the long chair of the resting room. It seems like Barakiel-san is also having a hard time with maintaining the institute and so he hasn’t taken proper food for a while. Since this is a good timing, he eats Akeno-san’s cooking on the spot. Barakiel-san is more astonished than ever, and every time Akeno-san hands him some food, he takes the food from his daughter while being nervous. “Then, I will be taking this……”
Barakiel-san uses his chopsticks to take the chicken stew with taro and vegetables, and puts it inside his mouth to taste it. He then takes a sip from the miso soup. A moment of silence. After a pause, when Akeno-san and I watch over Barakiel-san’s reaction—. He starts to shed tears from both his eyes like a waterfall! He then stuffs the chicken stew with taro and vegetables, rice, and the soup, into his mouth! “Yum…..it’s delicious……!”
Barakiel-san starts to eat it heroically while crying like mad! He looks up, and gives his response regarding the food. “Sob, it’s such a delicious chicken stew with taro and vegetables……! I’m the happiest father in the world……! I have a daughter who would make such delicious cooked food for me……!”
He starts to stuff down the handmade food of Akeno-san. He seems like he’s seriously happy. “……Geez, you are exaggerating too much.”
Akeno-san has her face red and has a bit of an angry-tone after seeing Barakiel-san’s reaction, though she does seem like she is happy as well. Seems like she doesn’t hate this reaction. Yeah. I seriously do think it’s good that these two made up. “And this one is the print of the reason why I came here today.”
Akeno-san hands over a paper to Barakiel-san. “There’s going to be a parents, children, and teachers meeting so this is the printout for it just in case.”
Oh, the paper for the parents and teachers meeting. So she came here today to hand him that paper. Barakiel-san who got handed the paper stood there dazzled for a moment, but he then realised what she means right away. “V-Very well! This is an important meeting! I will obviously attend to it!”
He approved to attend while making a big nod. Seeing that, Akeno-san also makes a small smile and approves. “My business here is done. Then I will be going since I was invited by her. Ise-kun, thank you for today. However, I’m sorry. I will be observing this institute for a while. Let’s meet again afterwards.”
Saying that. Akeno-san stands up and goes somewhere. Oh, first Gasper was taken away, and Akeno-san also went somewhere because she received an invitation. That means most of my business here is done. ………… I ended up being alone with Barakiel-san. What’s with this weird atmosphere!? Maybe Barakiel-san also sensed the atmosphere we are in, so he then speaks. “Are you still using women’s breasts as the source of your power?”
—!? He still has that misunderstanding!? How many times do I have to repeat myself that I’m not a Dragon that eats girl’s oppai! “Please give me a break! That’s a lie made up by Sensei!”
“I was joking.”
“You were joking! ?”
Is he a bit of a joker? But since he has a strong appearance, I can’t tell whether he’s joking or being serious! Barakiel-san coughs and asks me once again. “By the way, how about it? There’s a training space ahead of here. How about you come to observe it.”
Training……observing? Barakiel-san explains it to me who is in doubt. “There’s an area where we train Sacred Gear possessors.”
—! T-That certainly sounds interesting! I do know about how Grigori’s are looking after the Sacred Gear possessors. So they gathered the possessors to train them! I want to see it! I’m also a Sacred Gear possessor, and since there are many foes who are Sacred Gear possessors, I certainly am interested in it! Like this, I decided to go to the training space. “……I-Is this the place……”
Right in front of me who just swallowed down my saliva, there’s a huge door that has a big letter “G” on it. Is it the “G” for Grigori? While having Barakiel-san lead me, the door opens. It happens when I take a single step inside. “Guwaaaah!”
“Nuguwaaaaah!”
Suddenly, multiple screams of pain comes to my ear from every direction! Eh? Eh? What’s going on……? While bringing me who is shocked at the sudden screams, Barakiel-san walks ahead. We walked through a spacious corridor. I can observe what’s going on inside the room from the walls made from glass. “Guooo! It’s not over yeeet!”
In one of the rooms, there’s a man who is crucified, and he’s being hit with a gigantic iron ball, and—
“What are you planning to do with me, Grigori!? Funuuuuu!”
In another room, there’s a man caught on an experiment table, and he’s desperately screaming while having a mysterious group of doctors surround him. ……W-What is this……? I don’t know how to respond. Eh, isn’t this place supposed to be an area where they train the Sacred Gear possessors……? I come to witness the situation of each room as I progress through the corridor……
Just like the iron ball and the mysterious surgery, there are other rooms such as someone being drowned in water while carrying weights, and an operation room with drills and saws!
