Chapter 11 - Amazing and Secret

Hi guys, thanks for the support. Just like before, if there are errors and suggestions, write them in the comments.

"Why grandpa wants to meet me?"

I walked over to my grandfather.

My grandfather, although he has quite a long life, but his body is still strong and fit, and he can still fight well.

Even he still received difficult missions even though he had retired from his position as the leader of the Fire Moth warriors.

Oh and I need to emphasize here that he is quite a handsome man. Maybe in his time he was the most handsome man.

As expected of the Akahasa family.

Well, strangely enough they always had one wife.

(...)

OK I understand it's normal, I know.

But come on, that good looks are a waste if that's the case. With Akahasa's resources it becomes even more wasted.

Moreover, it even hurt a lot of women. (I hate it)

Uh? am i going to make a harem? Hehehe.

Oh, d-don't tell Mei about this. This will be our secret okay.

However if I had to answer that question then I would think about it seriously, maybe.

After all, right now all I love is Mei. If any woman is interested in me, then I will think about it later.

Obviously I don't want to hurt them if I can.

And while I was lost in thought, my grandfather stood up from his chair.

"Follow me." Then he turned to Maya. "Maya, you stay here and prepare whatever is necessary."

He was quite serious, unlike usual. Maya looks at me and I nod my head.

"Yes, Akahasa-sama."

…..

| Basement |

Grandpa took me to a place I rarely visited. This was because this place had a forbidden room that only the Head of the Akahasa Family could visit.

"This…"

"We're going to visit 'that place'."

The "that place" my grandfather meant was a secret place in the basement.

Oh, don't think of the basement as a unkempt place. Quite the contrary, it is the most sophisticated place I have ever been.

I'm only here for training in VR. I've never been to "that place".

It has a strong defense I admit, even with my current intelligence I still can't break through (well in fact I haven't tried).

Why so closely guarded?

From what I know, "that place" holds many secrets from the research of the Akahasa family.

"But grandpa, isn't that place I can't enter."

Right, since "that place" can only be entered by the Head of the Family, is it possible…..

While continuing to walk, he spoke

"Now you will be the new Head of the Akahasa Family."

"Grandpa I-"

"Relax little boy, I will still take care of business and various other things. So you can still play."

Huh… relief, I thought I'd lose my freedom and manage troublesome things.

Well that's only one percent of my reasons, in the end I'm not satisfied with flirting with women- ahem I mean playing with Mei.

"Fumu, I understand."

I nodded my head seriously. As if I was a good child who listened to his parents' advice

(no one knows what this little bastard is thinking.)

…..

"Ah,"

What I saw was something extraordinary.

Various kinds of weapons, such as swords, pistols, scythes, even weapons that I don't know the name of are lined up neatly.

Various technologies that only exist in the fictional world also exist.

But what really caught my attention were the 13 cool looking armors. There are various colors and shapes. red, green, blue, and so on.

It is just…

"Why is it mostly for women?"

"That's what you asked after coming here?"

"Well, it's too flashy anyway."

"Indeed, well most of it here is failed research. More precisely there must be a price for using it or it is too powerful to know at this time. And as for your question, it's because most of the people who make it are women."

"Is that so…. so the men in this family are pathetic." (didn't realize he was one of them)

(.....)

"Don't talk about it." Grandpa walked over to one of the guns then he threw something similar to a katana at me. "Take it wherever you go."

"Why? are you telling me to kill someone?" (shocked tone)

This may be an exaggeration, but what do you expect from a child given a gun?

"That's not it brat, what are you thinking in your brain. This is just a precaution, after all the current situation is uncertain."

I looked at him seriously, not wanting to lose any movement.

"I see… then can grandpa give me another one…"

"For who?"

"For Mei or Maya maybe."

"Maya already has her weapon, as for your lover… can she fight?"

"I will teach it."

He thought for a moment.

"... well what kind of weapon?

"A katana maybe."

"Well, maybe it's fate. Take this." Grandpa threw another similar-looking katana with a different color. "That's the weapon your great-grandfather and great-grandmother used."

"Is that true? this is a little surprising. Do they also wear the armor that is here?"

"Yes."

"Why not give me one."

"Never will, and never will. The price is too high. Before it's perfect then don't even think about using it. You are the sole heir to our family. So think about that."

"Okay, I'm not a fool after all. Oh yeah, why isn't it perfect yet?"

"It is because the energy required is too abnormal that the armor will absorb the user's life energy. Your parents are thinking of using honkai energy. In theory it can. It's just that, even for honkai energy, it still requires a lot of energy. In the future, it is your responsibility to find a solution. "

"I understand."

...

Out of

"Your sword is called the Black Void Sword while your lover's is the Purple Lightning Sword." Then he handed something to me. "And this is to enter that place."

"What is this? why not a key?"

What my grandfather handed me was a silver box with black lines. Similar to a 2x2 rubik's cube, only the colors are different and there are patterns and numbers in each little square.

"The box serves to bend space so you can reach 'that place'. " As for that space, well, no one can enter except our family."

"Is our technology that advanced?"

"Hahahaha, you little brat still don't know the greatness of our Family. Well, enough for that. Whatever you want to know is in that room. When you officially become the head of the family, then open it."

"How to enter it?"

"The exact pattern for activating the box is the one you had to memorize when you were a child."

(I was struck by lightning)

And that's even more surprising. Why? because it answers one of the mysteries of my life.

Just so you know, when I was little I was told (seriously) to memorize a pattern I had no idea what it was for. I've asked many times what's the point but no answer.

And what's more annoying is that I have to memorize it every day for a year. It was to the point that I couldn't forget him even if I wanted to. It immediately imprinted on my brain.

"Hahaha, looking at your expression it seems you remember it. Well there's no need to be sad and you're not the only one who feels it."

"Hah…."

(sigh)
