44 [44]The Family Tree 1

Kevin was in a bind right now.

As he looked up into the ceiling of the training room were Otto was laughing madly, thousands of golden chains began to slowly slip out of golden riples.

Kevin knows his strenght and his limit, and with a mix of his instincts he knew that neither he or his comrades would be able to dodge or block that many of his chains.

And it didn't help out that the chains would also cancel out the magical defense of their Sacred Gears.

The only thing that could properly block them and make them disappear was his Balance Breaker but it's only one sword, a sword enough for him.

Kevin gritted his teeth in helplessness, even with the powerup he received not so long ago he was still weak and helpless.

"Say your prayers human!" Otto cackled as he sent out the thousands of chains hauling towards them.

All of them got ready with their weapons, ready to fight till the end.

Kevin summoned his Balance Breaker ready to fight but a sudden childish vooce spoke "Dad?"

Kevin looked at the directions of the voice, it was a pair of two kids. One was a small kid with blonde hair and the other one was a cute kid with white hair and blue eyes, odly enough she looked like him.

'wait, dad?' tough Kevin in confusion

"Sweetie?!" Otto's before villainous face turned into a goofy and happy smile.

The villain Otto Apocalypse that they were sure was trying to kill them earlier was no more as his armor crumbled, leaving him in his previous set of clothes.

Otto disappeared in a flash and scooped up Theresa.

"Hey Theresa what are you doing here?" Asked Otto as he feined ignorance towards her 'surprise' arrival. He held her close to his chest as he snuggled with his cute daughter.

"I wanted to surprise you!, Theresa missed you a lot" exclaimed Theresa as she returned Ottos snuggle.

On the other side the Flame Chasers were completely dumbfounded by Otto's sudden change of demeanor, and especially the fact that he has a daughter!.

Elysia was the most stunned one as she was the person who had the best relationship with him out of all the Flame Chasers. And now only to find out that he has a cute daughter that he never told her about.

Elysia wasn't mad at the fact that he probably had a daughter with another woman, but at the fact that Otto never told her that he had such a a cute daughter.

She immediately rushed towards him to snatch Theresa out of his hands and get a snuggle with her to burt Otto's reflex kicking along with his paternal instinct.

Otto spun and grabbed Elysia by the head and chucked her away into the air.

"Ahhhh~" Elysia yelled as she was thrown towards the Flame Chasers.

"Eh? is that sister okay, dad?" Asked Theresa as she saw how Otto threw that lady without a care.

"Don't worry sweetheart she'll be fine" Otto dismisevly answer as he planted his face on his daughters soft hair. The softness of it relaxed Ottos body.

Theresa was still worried about the lady she just saw being thrown but soon forgot about her as she indulged in the cuddle her father was giving her, after all Otto was the reason she came here to begin with.

As Otto and Theresa were in their own world, the flame chasers were checking on Elysia of she was okay, luckily for her, Otto had thrown her towards them allowing the flame chaser to catch her.

Elysia who managed to gather her bearing began to pout as she looked at the cute duo.

Meliodas PoV-

"Don't take it to heart, you're not the only person he's thrown into the air for trying to touch Theresa" I told the pouting Pink head.

I still remember a year back when Azazel tried to give Theresa a head pat only to be grabed by the face and then out the window by Otto before he could even touch a single strand of Theresa's hair.

"Um, yes, Don't take what father did to heart. He was only protecting Theresa" Liz backed me up with her words.

"Mou~ I'm not mad about that, I'm mad that he didn't share such a cute girl!" The pink-haired girl exclaimed as she got up once again.

With evident determination in her eyes, she charged at Father once more "Not even you shall keep me away from cute girls Otto!"

Well, she's... something I guess.

"Ah by the way, nice to meetcha I'm Meliodas" I introduced myself to father new trainees.

the white-haired kid grunted in acknowledgment, seems like he's the cold type like Sephiroth. "who is the girl?" the white haired boy suddenly asked.

"Theresa?, he's the old man's daughter" I answered.

"What?!" All of the trainees said in unison.

Hmmm maybe I shouldn't have said that, well they heard it the first time but they thought they had heard wrong.

"Well that explains more" said Kevin as he watched Otto and Elysia hugging Theresa as if they were playing tug of war.

Otto had just explained to the team how Theresa was a kid from his orphanage that saw Otto as a father figure. And from that day on he didn't bother to correct her.

"Damit woman get. The. Fuck. Off!" said Otto as he finally managed to get Elysia paws of Theresa.

"Nooo Theresa!" Elysia yelled in despair as she pounced on Otto once more. As the two wrestled for Theresa, Theresa herself managed to get herself out of their fight.

She began to walk towards the group of strangers, especially the white haired one that looked just like her.

As she finally arrived at Kevin's side she tugged his pants to get his attention "woah, mister we look the same!" She said as her eyes shined in excitement.

"Um...yes?" Kevin awkwardly answered as he didn't know how to respond the cute kid.

The others just laughed as they saw Kevin's awkward interaction. Although Mei found it cute how her boyfriend was trying to interact with the little kid. Even with the children at the orphanage Kevin lives in is he awkward to interact with them.

"That's because you two are cousins" said Otto as he picked himself up from the floor. Kevin opened his eyes wide in shock as he looked at the disheveled Otto and the chained up Elysia who was struggling to break free.

"What?" Kevin said

"Its complicated but she's technically your cousin, you are Kevin Kaslana while she is Theresa Kaslana. But she an Apocalypse now due to me being her father" Answered Otto.

Kevin rubed his temples as he felt like there was more than her just and him being just cousins.
