Start By Becoming A Mangaka

Yuuki and Akeno went together to Grigori's headquarters. They teleported together and arrived at the location easily.

It wasn't his first time here, but for her, it was her first time.

"Have you been here before?" Akeno asked.

"Yeah, I've had a spar with Sona and her peerage in the past," Yuuki said. He didn't forget to wear his disguise when he arrived in this place. Even though some people knew about his identity, they didn't tell anyone about it.

The moment the guards saw Yuuki, who had disguised himself as Archer, they smiled and greeted him. They talked to each other for a while and he told them that he wanted to meet Baraqiel. They told him that Baraqiel, who was inside the headquarters specifically, was in the garden having an afternoon tea.

"Why does he have such a girly hobby?" Akeno frowned.

"......"

"I am not sure, you should ask him later," Yuuki said. He didn't think much since he thought that Baraqiel probably wanted to give them a special greeting or something.

They walked for a while and saw a lot of weird things along the way.

Yuuki explained to Akeno that some of the strange rooms were something that was used to increase the power of the Sacred Gears users.

"This place is very strange," Akeno said.

"Hahaha, that's true."

They turned and saw someone familiar.

"Sensei!" Akeno exclaimed.

"Azazel." Yuuki nodded.

"Are both of you visiting Baraqiel?" Azazel asked.

"Yes."

"That guy seems quite excited for some reason so you guys are the reason," Azazel said.

Yuuki felt that Azazel was looking at him with a strange expression, but he didn't say anything. He knew that this guy was mostly curious about something, but he was too lazy to manage this guy. "Where is Baraqiel?"

"He seems to be in the garden. I'll guide you there," Azazel said.

"Thank you," Akeno said.

"No problem, I am a bit curious about the last long meeting between both father and daughter," Azazel said.

"It won't be that dramatic," Akeno said.

Yuuki wasn't even surprised when this meeting would lead to fighting or something.

It didn't take them a few minutes to arrive at Baraqiel's location. They saw Baraqiel seemed happy when he saw Akeno, but his expression turned grim when he saw both Azazel and Yuuki.

"What's that expression?!" Yuuki and Azazel couldn't help but complain.

"Akeno, welcome," Baraqiel said gently.

"Hmph!" Akeno didn't say anything and hugged Yuuki's hand tightly.

"........"

Baraqiel coughed and said, "How about the two of you sit down first?"

"What about me?" Azazel said.

"Just get out of this place," Baraqiel said without mercy.

"...." Azazel was depressed, but he went out honestly.

Yuuki led Akeno to sit down on the table and he had to admit that Baraqiel or his father-in-law was very good at designing this place. It might be because of the experience living for a long time that Baraqiel had seen a lot of design in his life.

"I have prepared a special green tea that I have gotten from special trade," Baraqiel said.

'Special trade...' Yuuki was speechless, but he was a bit curious. He sipped the tea slowly and had to admit that it was good. "It's good." He needed to give his father-in-law a face and helped to make the relationship between father and daughter become normal.

Akeno also sipped the tea, even though she knew it was good, but her expression didn't change from the moment she was here.

"Did you prepare it by yourselves?" Yuuki asked. He knew that they couldn't stay quiet all the time.

"Yes, I have prepared everything since yesterday," Baraqiel said. He was a bit grateful for Yuuki to start the conversation.

"I have to admit----"

"It's disgusting," Akeno suddenly said.

"........"

The air became stagnant when they heard Akeno's words.

"Cough! Cough!" Yuuki coughed and asked, "I wonder whether I can get this tea."

"Yeah, sure." Baraqiel nodded and took a deep breath. He knew that his daughter wouldn't forgive him that easily. "Oh, yes, how is your trip here?"

"It's----"

"We're using teleportation," Akeno said.

"......"

It seemed that it was very hard to hold a normal conversation between them.

Yuuki thought for a while and asked, "Do you have a photo of Akeno during her childhood?"

"Huh?" Akeno was a bit surprised.

"Oh, I have it. Let me get it for you." Baraqiel seemed to be spirited when he heard Yuuki's question. He went to his room to take his photo album.

"Why are you asking that? If it's a photo of me, don't you have a lot?" Akeno whispered. She remembered that both of them had taken nude photos together before.

"That's a photo when you're an a.d.u.l.t and I want to see my innocent Akeno during her growing time. I want to see how you were when you were a child," Yuuki said.

"You're such a bastard!" Akeno said and hit his arm.

It didn't take long for Baraqiel to take out the photo album and show it to both of them.

Yuuki nodded and had to admit that Akeno had shown good genes during her childhood that could make her grow into such a splendid woman. Then he saw a photo of a woman who had a similar appearance to Akeno. "This is?"

"That's my late wife." Baraqiel looked at Yuuki and said, "Beautiful, isn't she?"

"Yeah, if I was born 20 years earlier then I might compete with you to have her love," Yuuki said.

"....." Baraqiel twitched his lips when he heard this naughty son-in-law's mouth. He had to admit that this guy was quite good if only this guy only dated his daughter.

Akeno seemed to be caught in nostalgia about her childhood. She had talked with Baraqiel in the past and knew why he couldn't save her mother. She sighed and kept the photo album until she saw a strange photo. She saw that it was a photo of her mother and mother wearing latex clothes and her mother whipped her father who was tied by a rope. "What kind of play is this?"

Yuuki and Baraqiel twitched their lips when they saw this photo.

Yuuki looked at Baraqiel and didn't expect such a tough man to have such a fetish. 'There are a lot of things in this world.
