Little Princess, Rias Gremory

After Shuri was relieved and had tortured the five practitioners enough, Ken and Grayfia approached her.

Ken snapped his fingers to summon his fire, [Origin Of Fire].

[Origin Of Fire] is the origin of all fire.

In other words, this fire created by Ken himself is the mother of all fire.

A terrifying flame blazed in Ken's palm.

It danced in the palm of his hand vigorously, as if happy to have been summoned by its creator.

The [Origin of Fire] fire had no color, in fact it was almost transparent.

If it weren't for the fact that it was currently dancing vigorously, indicating the current tide of fire, one wouldn't be able to see the fire with the naked eye.

Immediately, after Ken called out to him, Ken threw the flames onto the bodies of the five practitioners.

"Come on, don't be lazy, it's time to work!" Ken whispered softly.

*Whoossh!

As if delighted after hearing the command from its creator, the fire roared and ferociously devoured the five corpses.

In just seconds, the bodies of the five corpses dissolved and became extremely vulnerable before this fire.

The flames left not even the ashes and remains of their corpses.

No smoke or pungent odors came out, all in silence.

But to Grayfia and Shuri who saw this, the fire seemed deadly to them.

Neither of them could feel the heat of the fire, but somehow the transparent flames gave them a sense of the crisis of death.

"Good job~" Ken said with satisfaction.

Hearing such words, the [Origin of Fire] jumped back into Ken's palm and flared up like it was happy.

Ken then removed the fire from his palm.

"Alright, now..." Ken said and looked at Shuri.

Feeling Ken's gaze, Shuri's body stiffened and inexplicably felt embarrassed at the sight of his eyes.

Shuri felt that she was naked under those eyes.

"You can come with us, considering this temple is a mess, I assume that you don't have a place to stay anymore, right?" Ken said.

"Uhhh...." Shuri couldn't say anything.

"It's decided." Ken dropped the final decision.

...

With that, although Shuri was still surprised by Ken's attitude, the three of them left the half-destroyed temple.

Ken took Shuri to a sizable house, which Ken had already bought.

Since Akeno was still on the run, Ken would temporarily stay in the human world with Shuri, until Akeno met up with Rias and was taken away to the underworld.

Meanwhile, Grayfia would return to the underworld and occasionally visit Ken.

It was a plan made secretly by Ken.

Throughout their journey, Ken and Grayfia introduced themselves to Shuri.

Vice versa, Shuri introduced herself to Ken and Grayfia.

Although this was his first encounter with Ken and Grayfia, Shuri quickly became familiar with both of them.

Shuri even told Ken and Grayfia about the reason why the practitioners were targeting her and her daughter, Akeno.

While Grayfia felt sorry for Shuri after hearing his story, Ken who listened to Shuri's story decided to pretend that he knew nothing and could only comfort him.

That way, Shuri, who saw the sincere feelings of the two, got the impression that Ken and Grayfia were good people.

After arriving at a large house, Ken, Grayfia, and Shuri went inside to continue their conversation.

In the afternoon, Grayfia said goodbye to Ken to return to Underworld.

After saying goodbye to Ken and Shuri, Grayfia gave Ken a passionate kiss in front of Shuri.

Shuri felt her face heat up and her cheeks blush slightly when she saw the two people making out openly in front of her.

Therefore, Shuri quickly turned her face away and looked to the side, until the two were done with their 'business'.

After Grayfia and Ken were done with their business, Grayfia summoned the magic circle under her feet to instantly teleport to the underworld.

After Grayfia left, Shuri turned to Ken and saw him with a strange look.

Shuri originally only felt embarrassed when she saw Grayfia and Ken kissing, but now for some reason Shuri felt a feeling of 'annoyance' in her heart.

"Hm? Why?" Ken asked and put on his 'innocent' face.

"It's nothing." Shuri replied and stammered at the beginning of his sentence.

Shuri in her heart denied that she was starting to like Ken.

Shuri even used the excuse that she was married and still someone else's wife.

Therefore, inwardly, Shuri fought with her other self to stop thinking 'strange' things about Ken.

"Hmm... Okay, let's go to the second floor, I'll show you your room." Ken said.

Shuri came out of his reverie, nodded and followed Ken to the second floor.

...

That way, they both lived in the same house.

Ken occasionally tracked down Akeno's whereabouts and brought Shuri to see her.

Akeno currently still thought that her mother had died and did not know the true facts.

Therefore, Akeno is currently living with her mother's relatives.

During her stay at her mother's relatives' house, Akeno also developed feelings of hatred and continued to blame her father, Baraqiel, for her mother's death.

Because after all, Akeno as a child would feel that her father had failed as a father for not being able to protect her and her mother.

But a crueler fate seemed to play tricks on her again and again, within just one to two years, Akeno was expelled because her mother's relatives found out that Akeno had Fallen Angel blood in her.

As such, Akeno became increasingly resentful of the fact that she was half human and half fallen angel.

Akeno's hatred and dislike was directed more towards her fallen angel blood.

In other words, the more she hated her Fallen Angel blood, the more Akeno was reminded of her father, Baraqiel, who was a Fallen Angel.

Fate can indeed be cruel when it makes a child who originally loved herself, now hate herself after her mother's death.

Of course, Ken also knew the news about Akeno's expulsion.

Therefore, right when Akeno was expelled from her mother's relatives' house, Ken brought Shuri to see how his only daughter had to struggle alone.

All of this was Ken's plan to take Shuri away from Baraqiel.

Because after all, if Baraqiel came and saved them, Akeno wouldn't have to go through this.

Therefore, Ken used this opportunity to poison Shuri's mind and make her doubt Baraqiel even more.

During this period of time, Ken would stay outside or inside the hotel with Shuri.

This was all done as he and Shuri continued to follow Akeno's directionless journey.

...

One year had already passed.

Akeno was now ten years old.

During this year, Ken and Shuri continued to follow Akeno and watch her from a distance.

Ken of course forbade Shuri to meet Akeno directly.

Ken still wanted to continue to show Akeno's life after her mother's death.

If not, Ken would not succeed in making Shuri doubt Baraqiel and even hate him.

Therefore, in this one year, Shuri felt her heart ache when shown about how her little daughter's life was.

But...

Little by little, the pain in her heart had changed and made Shuri blame Baraqiel.

If Baraqiel could have come to her and Akeno's rescue at that moment, Akeno wouldn't have had to live such a heart-wrenching life.

This was not the life a child should live.

As a parent, such a life was definitely not the life Shuri wanted to give her little gem.

Hence, the pain in her heart whenever she saw her son living a difficult life, was now diverted and directed that pain towards Baraqiel as the cause of everything.

Meanwhile, Ken on the other hand felt happy and danced in his heart.

Ken only used a few words to dispel Shuri's feelings for Baragiel.

One year is a short time, but for Shuri, this one year seemed very long when she had to see her son's painful life.

Thus, it was only a matter of time until Shuri forgot and hated Baraqiel.

Although Shuri felt her heart hurt too much to see her son's life like this, Shuri still decided to continue following him with Ken.

Every time Shuri wanted to go and see his daughter, Ken would prevent him in various ways and plausible reasons.

In the end, Shuri could only undo his intentions and continue to watch his son from a distance.

Until one day...

At the age of ten, without food or money, Akeno traveled throughout Japan and used her skills to purify evil spirits that she learned from her mother.

It was all Akeno could do to survive.

Akeno did this for a year and a half.

As such, Ken and Shuri found themselves moving from town to town as they had to keep up with Akeno.

...

Ken and Shuri continue to follow Akeno as she travels from town to town, purifying evil spirits as part of her duties.

While stumbling in a town, Akeno indirectly saves a human who was contracted by demons from the Gremory Clan.

Because Akeno was worried that the demons would kill her because of her Fallen Angel blood, she decided to hide from them.

However...

When Akeno tried to leave the city, she was suddenly attacked by her relatives from the Himejima Clan who came to kill her.

The person who wanted to kill her was her great uncle, Suou Himejima.

The location of this attack took place in a forest not far from the town Akeno had just left.

Shuri who witnessed everything from afar panicked and looked at Ken, as if asking Ken to help her daughter.

But Ken just shook his head in response and said.

"Don't worry, someone will save your daughter."

Hearing his words, Shuri became a little calm and confused.

As Shuri turned her head towards her daughter in the distance, her heart sank immediately.

This was because Shuri saw that Suou Himejima was about to land the final blow that would decide her daughter's life.

However, just as her heart was racing and she was ready to jump out to save her little princess, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared and stopped her uncle's attack.

Ken who was beside Shuri suddenly grinned.

Not at the rescue or the middle-aged man, but at the other person who came with the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was named Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa.

He was Bishop Zeoticus Gremory.

Meanwhile, the other person who came with him was a girl of Akeno's age.

Regardless of the young girl, she would become a beautiful woman when she grew up and became an important person.

The girl had fair and smooth skin, with green-blue eyes.

Her most prominent feature was her dark red hair.

Thus, Ken knew the girl's identity just from her hair alone.

Yes, that's right, she was Rias Gremory.

While Ken was appraising the cute girl, Shuri on the other hand let out a sigh of relief.

But after that, Shuri gave Ken a strange look.

Of course, this was all about how Ken could know that there would be someone else who would save his daughter.

But since Ken himself just smiled at her mysteriously and didn't want to say it, Shuri didn't dig any further.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Rias, and her father's Bishop, Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa, persuaded the Akeno family not to kill Akeno.

Suou Himejima initially refused, but after thinking that the other party was from the Gremory Clan, Suou Himejima finally agreed.

Moreover, the identity of the other party was that one was a Bishop of Lord Gremory, while the other was the heir of the Gremory Clan.

In other words, the little red-haired girl before him was a Little Princess of the Gremory Clan.

Therefore, after thinking for a moment Suou Himejima agreed, as his current actions would have an impact on the Himejima Clan.

However, Suou Himejima still had to give two conditions to Heinrich and Rias:

- The first was for Akeno to never enter the territory under the Himejima Clan.

- The second was that for Heinrich and Rias, Akeno must always stay by Rias' side.

With the second condition, Suou Himejima hoped that Akeno would always be under the direct supervision of Rias and the Gremory Clan.

As for the first condition given to Akeno...

It was natural for Suou Himejima to say it to Akeno.

Given that Akeno herself had the blood of a Fallen Angel in her, it was the right thing for them to prevent beings considered 'sinful' and 'dirty' from entering the territory under the Himejima Clan.

Because after all, as is well known, the Himejima Clan is in charge of [Exorcism], which translates to [Exorcist].

In other words, their job is to protect humanity from evil beings.

One example of an evil being they believe in is the Fallen Angels.

As such, Ken himself felt there was nothing wrong with either condition.

Even if Ken was in Suou Himejima's position, Ken would also do the same thing that Suou Himejima did.

In the end, after Heinrich and Rias agreed to both conditions, Suou Himejima immediately left Akeno, Rias, and Heinrich there.

Rias then walked over to Akeno who was sitting on the ground and stood not far from her.

Akeno who was still sitting on her knees due to Suou Himejima's attack looked at Rias.

"Are you hurt? Take it easy, from now on no one will hurt you anymore." Rias said.

Hearing the words of her peer girl, Akeno looked down and shed her tears.

Akeno didn't even have time to care that the girl in front of her was someone from the demon race.

Over the past few years, the suffering Akeno had felt made her unable to hold back her tears anymore.

Hence, Akeno cried silently with her head facing downwards.

When Akeno cried, it wasn't that she was weak, her tears were proof that she had fought and continued to be 'strong' for a long time.

Heinrich who was there as an adult could only sigh.

"That child's life must not have been easy for a child her age. Heinrich thought so.

On the other hand, Rias sat beside Akeno and let the girl let out all her long pent-up emotions.

At least, only with a peaceful and safe life, which only she could do.

Such was the encounter between Rias and Akeno.

The meeting that changed Akeno's life completely and Rias' meeting with the girl who would become her best friend in the future.

...

Ken watched the whole incident calmly, as if he already knew that it would end like this.

"Don't worry, that red-haired girl is a good person, that's why I didn't stop her." Ken said to Shuri who was beside him.

"For now... don't show yourself to Akeno, okay? When the time comes, I'll bring Akeno directly to you." Ken assured her.

Shuri thought for a moment after listening to Ken's words.

With a unanimous decision, Shuri sighed helplessly and nodded his head, agreeing with Ken's words.

"I know that." Shuri replied.

"It's good that you understand, because only in this way will your daughter have a strong will and desire." Ken said.

While the two were talking, Rias, Akeno, and Heinrich left the human world.

Heinrich used the Teleportation magic circle to bring Rias back to Gremory Castle.

Akeno was also no exception, since Rias had brought her personally, Akeno ended up going with them.

...

After Ken sensed that the three people had left, himself and Shuri also returned.

This was the moment where Ken had to start his second plan to take Shuri completely.

The plan itself can be said to be quite easy, Ken just needs to spend a lot of time with Shuri in the human world.

Whether it's going shopping, chatting, flirting, and the like.

Even though the two of them can be said to have known each other, Ken has never flirted or even invited Shuri to go out together.

Therefore, with this last step, Ken can ensure that it is only a matter of time before Shuri curls up in his arms.

While reading her emotions, Ken found that Shuri's feelings for Baraqiel had become shallow, no longer as deep as before.

When his conversation with Shuri touched on the subject of 'husband', Ken noticed that Shuri suddenly became unhappy with the topic and chose not to answer him or change the subject.

Therefore, whenever this happened, Ken would smirk secretly without Shuri's knowledge.

Sometimes Ken also went to the [Underworld] to visit Grayfia, Serafall, and other female targets.

The process of his approach with Shuri was not forgotten either.

In the end, Ken is currently a busy person with all his affairs.
