Start by Becoming a Mangaka

"What is this?" Akeno asked while pointing her finger at the strange photo of both of her parents.

"...."

Yuuki didn't intend to say anything and looked at Baraqiel with a curious expression. He knew that each person had their own hobby and he didn't intend to say that it was wrong or right, but he was a bit curious whether Akeno was made by this play.

Baraqiel wasn't sure what to say and his face was blushing. Even though he was an old man and had a lot of experience living for a long time, it was his first time to have this experience. He didn't expect both his daughter and his son-in-law to suddenly open his secret play with his late wife. He had to admit that he missed that moment until now and he made a long sigh. "That's how I made you."

"........"

Akeno wasn't sure what to say and suddenly she looked at Yuuki.

"......."

Yuuki decided to look away and ignored Akeno's gaze.

"Dear," Akeno said sweetly.

Yuuki sipped his tea and acted like he hadn't heard anything.

"You're Shuri and my daughter, there's both my blood and Shuri's blood on you," Baraqiel said.

Yuuki looked at Baraqiel and wondered whether this guy wanted to say that Akeno was both a masochist and sadistic?

"Hmm....." Akeno looked at the picture intensely.

"....." Baraqiel was a bit nervous and asked, "Akeno, can I have that back?"

"Sure," Akeno said and gave Baraqiel his shameful photo.

"Ha....." Baraqiel felt that he was very tired at that moment.

"Dear...." Akeno looked at Yuuki once again.

"This cookie is good," Yuuki said. He didn't want to be tied and even if he agreed he didn't want to talk about it in front of Baraqiel.

"I bought it from a popular shop," Baraqiel said while nodding.

Akeno snorted looking at both Yuuki and Baraqiel. She didn't want to give up and wanted to play that kind of game together with Yuuki later.

They talked for a while then they decided to go out together to visit Shuri's grave.

The location of Shuri's grave is on the nearby location of Grigori. Baraqiel moved his late wife to a nearby location after she was killed in the past. He was too late to save her and it was one of the regrets that he couldn't wash away.

Yuuki held Akeno's hand since he knew that this girl was a bit nervous. She was living on the old shrine in the past or the place where she was living with both of her parents, but now she was living in Yuuki's house. It was her first time after a while to go to Shuri's grave since her relationship with her father was very bad in the past. Her feeling was both excited and nervous at the same time when she started to get closer and closer to her mother's grave. She was walking in the middle of both Yuuki and Baraqiel. She looked at her father's lonely figure then also held his father's hand.

Baraqiel seemed a bit surprised but smiled gently. He didn't say anything and looked at Yuuki who was also holding Akeno's hand. He nodded and didn't say anything this time.

Akeno felt a bit blissful when she could hold the two people who loved her dearly in this life. Then she saw a grave with a straight tombstone that was surrounded by a number of beautiful flowers to accompany the people who were buried in this grave. She saw her mother's name on the tombstone and couldn't help, but sobbed slowly. She walked slowly with the help of both Baraqiel and Yuuki then crouched down in front of the grave of her mother. "Mom, I am back."

Baraqiel smiled gently and said, "Shuri, your daughter has grown up and has become a beautiful lady." He had always wanted to say this and this time he had a chance to do it. Tears rolled down, but he kept his smile on his face. He was happy, but also sad since his wife couldn't see her daughter who had grown up into a splendid woman.

Yuuki wasn't sure what to say, but he knew that there was something that he needed to say at this moment. "My name is Ichijou Yuuki. I am your daughter's boyfriend. I know that I might be a bastard, but I will make your daughter happy in this life. If I can't do that then you might curse me later."

Akeno and Baraqiel gave a gentle laugh when they heard him.

They stayed in this place for a while before deciding to go back. They knew that they couldn't stay sad all the time and the best thing to do in this life was to live to the fullest and happily. Though Baraqiel decided to stay for a while since he was quite awkward at this moment. His perverted photo had just been discovered by his daughter and his son-in-law. He had a long sigh and talked about a lot of things in front of his wife's grave. He wasn't sure why, but he had a feeling that his wife was listening to his complaint.

Yuuki and Akeno walked side by side while holding their hands together. They felt closer than before and it was a wonderful feeling for both of them.

"Ha....." Yuuki sighed.

"What's wrong?" Akeno asked.

"Your mother is really beautiful," Yuuki said while smiling at Akeno.

Akeno snorted and said, "Of course!" She seemed proud and said, "Isn't this why I have turned into beautiful?"

Yes, beautiful, but her hobby...

Yuuki wasn't sure what to say when he saw that perverted photo.

"Dear...."

Yuuki shuddered when he heard her voice right beside his ears. He wasn't sure why his ears became more sensitive and this sweet voice went straight into his brain making him crazy.

"Why don't we try the thing that my parents have done?" Akeno asked sweetly.

"......"

Yuuki twitched his lips and asked, "You want to do that?"

Akeno's eyes were shining and nodded eagerly. She wanted to tie him then heard his scream on the bed.

"......"

Yuuki could feel the malice on Akeno and knew what this perverted girl wanted to do, but.....

"Sure."

"Yes! Let's go back! Let's prepare right away!" Akeno said while pulling Yuuki's hand.

"Wait! Wait! Right now? Don't you need to do the preparation?" Yuuki asked.

"Don't worry, I have bought a lot of things since I have thought that we'll have such a moment," Akeno said.

"......"

Yuuki knew that he couldn't run and that was why he decided to enjoy such a play.
