Chapter 475

Rias said comfortingly: "...Don't worry, father and I have no ill intentions towards you, nor do we want to use your identity to do anything."

Himejima Akeno's heart moved and she asked in surprise: "...you know my identity?"

Before Rias could answer, a voice came from far away: "...You are the daughter of Bai Qiu, the cadre of the Son of God's monitor. This is not a big secret."

As this voice appeared, Himejima Akeno saw the bedroom door here being opened, and a tall, elegant-looking man with a handsome appearance walked in.

When Rias saw the visitor, she quickly stood up, held up the corner of her skirt and bowed gracefully: "...Father!"

It turns out that this is Rias' father.

Himejima Akeno thought silently.

Saigo gently touched Rias' little head with his hand. He came to the bed and stood still. He looked at Akeno Himejima who was sitting on the bedside with a miserable look and a pale face, and said:

"...As Rias said before, she and I have no ill intentions towards you, and it is safe here. You can have a good rest here."

"You don't have to worry that I will use you as a hostage to threaten your father. Your father himself knows that you were brought here by me."

"Since he lets you stay with me, it means that he trusts me, and you can also trust me."

"Okay, little girl, don't say anything that you hate your father. Even you don't believe it, let alone me?"

"You have been able to survive these two years safely because your father is protecting you behind your back. You must have noticed it with your intelligence."

"It's just that your father is too timid and doesn't dare to come out to recognize you because he is afraid that you will hate him."

"The reason why you resent him so much is probably because he is too timid. If he appeared in front of you so generously and hugged you hard, I'm afraid you would cry and return to his arms. "

"Forget it, I don't want to interfere with your family's affairs. The gap between you and your father needs to be broken by yourself. You need to face it by yourself. It's not convenient for me, an outsider, to say more."

"My daughter Rias needs a dependent, and you are recognized by me and her. If you are willing to become her dependent and live with us."

"Rias and I will treat you like family, too."

Himejima Akeno, who is stubborn and arrogant by nature, wanted to refute Saigo's words at first, and wanted to tell him that she would not cry in her father's arms.

But Saigo's last words broke into her heart and aroused her mind, making Himejima Akeno's rebuttal words unable to utter a single word.

‘Treat me like...family? ’

The word "family" directly penetrated Himejima Akeno's fragile heart, making her eyes red and almost shedding tears.

For a child who is still young but has experienced so many things, what she longs for most is a home and a family that loves her.

0 .. ........

"I am being hunted by the fallen angels and the Himejima family... If you take me in, I will cause you trouble."

Himejima Akeno held back her tears and said with a trembling voice.

Although she was grateful for the warmth given to her by Saigo and Rias, there were some things she had to say in advance, otherwise it would be selfish of her.

Xixiang's expression was slightly strange. He shook his head with a chuckle and said, "...Don't worry about the fallen angels. Your father and the governor of the fallen angels will take care of it."

"As for the Himejima family, that depends on you. I don't care about them."

"Compared to the fallen angels, your mother was forced to death by the Himejima family. However, you are also connected by blood with this family. Whether you are willing to take revenge depends on your own thoughts."

"If you are willing to take revenge, I can give you power!"

revenge!

This was something Akeno Himejima had never thought of.

In the past, she only thought about how to escape and survive, but she never thought about revenge.

But now, Xixiang's words aroused the desire for revenge in her heart.

"Rias, please take good care of her. I think you will become good friends."

Saigo brushed Rias' delicate cheek with the back of his hand and said with a smile.

"Okay, father, I will take good care of her. Well, your name is Himejima Akeno, right?"

Rias had a gentle look on her young face.

Himejima Akeno said softly, lowered her head and introduced herself: "...My name is Himejima Akeno, Miss Rias."

"You don't have to call me miss, just call me Rias. Just like my father said, we will definitely become good friends."

Rias had a bright and bright smile, and that gentle and beautiful smile completely touched Himejima Akeno's heart.

Chapter 74: This time, Ophis will not be deceived again!

Rusutsu Amusement Park in the northern part of the island is the largest amusement park in the area.

It is like a resort, with golf courses, tennis courts, swimming pools and other sports fields, as well as a variety of recreational facilities that can make children happy.

Therefore, the place is always crowded with people whether it is winter or summer. You can see couples bringing their children out to play, or groups of students.

Today, the playground is covered with heavy snow, and crystal-like beautiful snowflakes fall from the sky.

This kind of weather is simply the best time to play and take photos, and the amusement park is no exception.

Xixiang was sitting on a bench. She was wearing a pair of elegant gold-rimmed glasses, leaning back on the chair, holding a magazine in her hand and reading it with relish.

Not far in front of him, Rias and Akeno Himejima were holding hands and lining up, preparing to ride the roller coaster.

Two young girls dressed in student uniforms were chatting to each other in low voices, and their melodious laughter could be heard from time to time.

Occasionally, Saigo could hear Rias shouting "Father" loudly, and then wave to him vigorously in the queue.

Whenever this happens, Saigo will raise his head and smile at Rias, nodding in greeting.

At this time, Himejima Akeno would also restrain her expression and bow slightly in the direction of Saigo, very much like Yamato Nadeshiko.

In less than a month, Rias and Himejima Akeno were completely familiar with each other.

Himejima Akeno, who once completely distrusted Rias and Saigo, gradually gained a sense of trust during this period of getting along with them.

Perhaps it was just like fate. Rias and Akeno Himejima became good friends in a short period of time, just like a pair of biological sisters.

There are a lot of people queuing up to play. With Saigo or Rias' ability, they have enough magic to complete a method similar to 'expulsion of humans'.

However, sometimes queuing up at the amusement park is a kind of fun. When Rias took Akeno Himejima out to play, what she liked more was the process of chatting with Akeno Himejima.

Although Himejima Akeno has experienced a wandering life for more than two years and her heart has matured, she is still just a child now, with a great interest in amusement parks.

She looked at the roller coaster flying through the air and listened to the screams of the people on the roller coaster. An excited smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth.

It was as if the terrified screams of others gave her an ultimate pleasure.

Himejima Akeno has never been to an amusement park, even when her parents were still around her.

As a hybrid between a human witch and a fallen angel, she has not been blessed since birth. Her father and mother are also afraid that she will be discovered by the outside world, which will cause unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, Himejima Akeno spent her childhood in the shrine.

It wasn't until her mother died that Akeno Himejima wandered around and saw the vastness of the world.

But at that time, she was only thinking about how to survive, and she had no idea about going to an amusement park, let alone the money to go to an amusement park.

Akeno Himejima has always had a longing for this holy place for children deep in her heart.

Today, Saigo suddenly took her and Rias to the largest amusement park in the northern part of the island country. This sudden visit surprised her.

"Akeno!"

Rias, who was queuing up, used her magic power to stop people from squeezing around her.

At this time, she had a gentle smile on her lips, and she stood in front of Akeno Himejima, with her two jade hands behind her back and her toes bent.

"What's wrong? Rias?"

Hearing Rias calling him, Himejima Akeno showed a warm and beautiful smile like a big sister.

In fact, the two argued for a long time about who was the sister, but in the end they found out that Rias was still one year older than Himejima Akeno, which made Himejima Akeno depressed for a long time.

"Happy birthday!"

Suddenly, Rias, who had her hands behind her back, handed over a delicately decorated small box and stuffed it into her hands under the surprised look of Akeno Himejima.

"Rias...this is..."

Himejima Akeno's expression was complicated. She looked at the exquisite gift box she was holding in her hand and whispered.

"Today is your birthday, you won't forget it, right?"

Rias said with a gentle smile.

Himejima Akeno opened her mouth, held the gift box in her hands firmly with both hands, and whispered: "...I, I really forgot my birthday. How did you know my birthday?"

Akeno Himejima held back the tears that were about to fall from her eyes. She looked at Rias's noble and elegant smile and wanted to throw herself into her arms, holding her and crying bitterly.

How long has it been since you felt such joy and happiness? Ever since she left her mother, Himejima Akeno has never felt warmth again.

As for birthdays, how could she care about these things when she had been hunted in the past.

"Actually, I don't know your birthday, Akeno. My father told me this. For this reason, I have prepared a special gift for you. Do you like it?"

Rias said playfully.

"It turns out to be Saigo-sama... So Saigo-sama brought me to the amusement park today?"

The smart Himejima Akeno immediately guessed why Saigo would take her out to play today.

"Well, Father said that you should have never played in a place like this like a child, so he wanted to give you a childhood."

"I am also taking advantage of you, Akeno. I have never been to an amusement park before. I didn't expect that there is such a fun place in the human world. 0 ......"

"Next time we have a chance, let's go out and play together, okay?"

Looking at Rias's bright smile, Himejima Akeno nodded vigorously and said "yeah".

Then she looked at the seat where Saigo was sitting, with a look of gratitude and admiration.

"Hurry up and open it to see if you like the gift I gave you."

Rias urged Himejima Akeno at this time.

Himejima Akeno quickly removed the ribbon of the gift box and opened it to see a very beautiful hair accessory inside.

Hair accessories are not particularly precious, but in Himejima Akeno's heart, this hair accessory may have become her most precious gift.

She took the hair accessory from the gift box, held it tightly, as if afraid of losing it, and smiled softly at Rias: "...I like it very much, I like everything you give me, Rias."

"Really? Then let's continue to play."

Rias stretched out her hand to Himejima Akeno at this time.

Himejima Akeno held Rias's hand tightly, and the young girls laughed happily again.

And the hair accessory was carefully pinned on Himejima Akeno's hair by Rias.

"Marshmallow, does anyone want to eat marshmallows?"

In front of the bench where Saigo was sitting, a vendor in the amusement park pushed a small cart and shouted loudly.

Saigo put down the magazine in his hand and said to the vendor: "...Give me a marshmallow, strawberry flavor."

"Thank you for your patronage!"

The vendor pushing the cart skillfully made a strawberry-flavored marshmallow for Saigo.

Xixiang held the marshmallow in his hand, ate two bites slowly, and then passed it to his side.

At some point, a girl wearing a Lolita-style long skirt sat next to Xixiang. She was petite and beautiful, but gave people a cold and arrogant look.

When Orpheus saw the strawberry-flavored marshmallow handed by Xixiang, her eyes lit up and she immediately took it in her hands, tasted it with relish, and muttered:

"...Someone wanted to deceive me, but I deceived him instead!"

Orpheus' eyes flashed with pride, as if she was happy that she had deceived someone.

"Who wants to deceive you?"

Xixiang looked at Orpheus eating marshmallows like a child, and asked with a smile.

"A strange human said that if I could be a leader, he would help me go back to the dimensional gap to deal with the Great Red."

"But I don't need help from others. I have already returned to the dimensional gap, so I guess he is lying to me!"

Orpheus nodded vigorously and said with a disgusted expression.
