[=============================]
Inside the dinner room, located in the Himejima Household. The Himejima's, The Twins, and I were seated at the former's Dinner table.
In front of us were dishes made with the ladies' cooperation. And while they were pretty simple dishes, each and everyone of them looked really good and appetizing.
The dishes were pretty common ones that are typically served in every Japanese household; A bowl of rice, Miso Soup, and lastly, Vegetables and Pork stir fry.
The last one in particular made me gulp, and without further adoâ
""Itadakimasu!"" X6
I picked up a piece of pork using my chopsticks, and put it on top of my rice before I picked it up and shoved it into my mouth.
And as the food met my tongue, a burst of umami exploded. Making me close my eyes as I savored each and every bite of the food before I took a sip of the Miso Soup in pure delight.
"Your cooking is as great as ever, Auntie!" I complimented the middle aged lady who smiled in response.
"Is that so? Then you better praise the girls as well~ It wouldn't have turned out so great if it weren't for my trusty kitchen assistant's you know?"
Hearing this, I gave Shuri-san a knowing look, as she was clearly trying to downplay her cooking skills just so the girls would also get some credit.
And I played along.
I nodded in "realization" before I turned to look at Akeno and the twins, before giving them a thumbs up and said.
"You guys would definitely become great wives, like Aunt Shuri one day."
Then, I got back to eating, completely ignoring the old man whose stares would've killed me a million times over if it could.
But for real though, the stir fry Vegetables and Pork slaps! And it's even making my tired body better!
I can only pity Issei in the series because he wasn't able to taste Aunt Shuri's divine cooking.
Speaking of which; The main reason why the old man trained me in the first place is so I could back up Aunt Shuri and Akeno when the attack comes, while the old man takes care of the Himejima Clan's Fallen angel collaborator.
Wellâ It's not just backing up Aunt Shuri, the old man also asked me to protect Akeno.
After all, the Akeno right in front of me isn't actually the Priestess of Thunder and the Queen of teasing just yet.
She's currently just a sweet papa's girl, who totally looks up to the old man, just like any girl at her age does.
This is one of the reasons why Akeno had come to resent her father when he wasn't there to protect her and her mother.
Although now, due to my existence, that future won't come to pass. I won't allow it.
It didn't take long before we finished dinner, and just like what we had agreed upon, when dinner comes, it means that our training session for the day has come to an end.
Soâ I didn't need to worry about regurgitating whatever I ate before.
30 minutes passed by in a blink of an eye, and it was time for the twins and I to go back home, so after saying goodbye to the Himejima family, we departed their house, and used teleportation to warp back home.
When we arrived, I quickly said goodnight to the twins before I went to my room and dropped like a log in my bed.
Weeks passed by, and every single one of them were all filled with me training and training, and training.
The only days I could take a break was when the old man needed to go back to the Fallen Angel's headquarters, and even then, I wasn't fully free, because I always take that time to grind for Prismatic Diamonds.
And oh boy⊠My Luck Issue is still persistent.
In the end, I was only able to obtain 50 Prismatic Diamonds.
Currently, I'm once again facing Baraqiel, who has become my official combat instructor, with a serious face.
And thanks to his training, My Flow Method went from Entry level, to now proficient level.
Meaning, I didn't need to focus as much to keep the Flow Method active all the time.
And what's more, the potency of its enhancement has now pretty much fixed my previously weaker than a low-class devil's body.
In fact, from what I'm feelingâ I'm thinking that my Strength, Speed, and Endurance, is practically that of a High-Class, tethering to Ultimate class.
Of course, that's only if I really pour my all into the Flow Method. Normally, without focusing, I'm only about as strong as a middle-class.
"Here I go!" The old man's voice echoed from the other side of the expanded space in the woods near the shrine, before a shockwave could be heard.
"Dona!" I voiced faintly, as I lowered my body. In response to my voice, the feline form of Ichika materialized for a split second, along with the ground on my feet shooting up an earthen wall which propelled me like a bullet.
And as I flew to meet the old man head on, a faint green windy energy could be observed encompassing my entire body.
It was the work of my spirit, Kazemi, or Emi for short. Right now, she's imbued in my clothes, and that gave the effects of enhancing my speed by somehow making me light as a feather without even changing my weight.
I cocked my Blazing fistâ the effect that I had gotten after Hino possessed my 3â fighting gloves that I had gotten from this month's Gacha bannerâ and swung it to meet the old man's own fist.
*BOOOM!*
A shockwave that would have been heard by everyone in the near vicinity if this area wasn't covered in an isolation barrier boomed, as my fist met the old man's.
What's more, I caught a whiff of a faint burning smell, which I noticed came from the old man's singed hair, due to the flames that blasted the old man as soon as our fists met.
And without wasting any time, I followed up with a devastating axle kick that was nearly the speed of light, because YĆka is currently residing on my shin guards.
*Bang!*
Once again, a boom echoed, but I clicked my tongue because my kick was blocked by the old man's defense.
"Not bad kid, you certainly improved. But you're still wet behind your ears!" The Old man, taunted. But I didn't let it distract me, as I foresaw a counter attack a second or so later thanks to Kurumi who's currently possessing an earring in my right ear.
And so, before the old man could grip my right leg, I used my left one to propel myself away.
This time, it was the old man's turn to click his tongue in frustration as he annoyingly said. "Your future vision is certainly annoying. But it's useless ifâ"
Before he could finish his words, the old man suddenly appeared in front of me in a blink of an eye, only leaving behind a flash of lightning, and right now, his pitch black angel wings were unleashed.
And before I could react, I suddenly felt myself flying before the feeling of pain followed by not long after.
I groaned in pain as I skidded across the ground, before stopping as I hit the barrier.
Thankfully, I was now fighting the old man after aging my body a decade or so, because if I was still in my younger body, then I would definitely and without a doubt get treated like a glorified volleyball by the old man.
"Damn it old man! You said you would hold back!!" I complained as I winced from the pain.
Suddenly, a blue aura surrounded me, which made my injuries heal quickly even in the naked eye.
Courtesy of Mizuki who's currently possessing my chain necklace.
"You're one to talk brat! Those spirits of yours are practically mini Sacred Gears already!! And you have SEVEN of them!" The old man refuted as he retrieved back his wings.
"But sure, I won't take out my wings." After saying that, the old man suddenly got surrounded by lightning before he once again suddenly appeared in front of me.
His leg raised above, clearly trying to pull off an axe kick.
"Oh shi!" Before the old man could put down his foot, he suddenly came to a stand still.
And without wasting any time (heh) I leisurely got up off the ground and walked far behind him.
"Your time has resumed." I muttered, andâ
*BOOOM!*
A cloud of dust unfurled on the spot I was in before, which covered the old man completely.
All of that happened in an astonishing 4 seconds. And while it seems like I had actually decided to set free the old man.
The truth was I actually just timed it all just as the old man broke free from my control.
"Sigh⊠Looks like I'm still pretty green in using ăTimeă."
