Time Chamber In DxD

Chapter 32

The blonde watched these moments with a smile on his face. It made him reminisce about the times when he was still with his family.

[Father, mother, little brother. Despite all these years, I still miss you.]

The minutes trickled by and the traffic of people on the streets gradually decreased. The sun was slowly disappearing over the horizon, allowing for a lovely orange glow that slipped past through the trees lining the streets.

But while some would stop to appreciate such a sight, Akeno was the complete opposite.

"Mama! The sun is going down!"

"I know, dear. Why don't we pass by the park and enjoy it?"

Shuri continued to tease Akeno to oblivion. Taking advantage of her love for Detective Conan, she continued to agitate Akeno by walking slowly. As for the blonde he quietly walked behind them. Even though he was carrying the plastic bags, he never once slacked off with his training.

At all times, Igor was maintaining the Kaioken at 50% efficiency. This was the current maximum limit that he could maintain without leaking ki. Any further and a faint red outline would start to surround him.

The three of them trudged on further. Under the subtle cries of Akeno, Igor decided to offer an olive branch.

"Hey, aunty. Why don't I teleport us back home?"

"O-"

Before Shuri could even complete the first syllable, Akeno ran towards the blonde and enthusiastically grabbed his coat.

"Really? Can you? Can you? Pleaaaaase, big brother!"

Her eyes were practically shining like stars. The concept of instantly reaching home lit up a spark in her. While she would've wanted to fly, she was explicitly forbidden.

Putting both bags down, Igor chuckled as he picked up Akeno and held her in his arms.

"I can, little chick. But you're gonna have to ask aunty if she's okay with that. After all..."

He turned towards Shuri with a knowing smirk.

"...she did say she wanted to enjoy the sunset."

Akeno turned her neck so quickly that her hair slapped the blonde in the face. But she was far too concerned about convincing her mother to use Igor's proposed method of transport.

"Mama please! You...you can drop me home first before coming back to the park!"

Shuri put on a thoughtful expression. She really seemed to ponder the matter, causing Akeno to have no choice but to look on in trepidation.

After an excruciating 30 seconds, Shuri seemed to have come to a decision.

"Alright. Lead the way, Dimori-kun."

Akeno was so happy that a smile bloomed on her face.

"Yayyyy-kyaa!"

But in the midst of her celebration, she nearly fell from the blonde's arms and had to grab onto his shoulders for dear life.

Igor simply chuckled at this as he walked over to join hands with Shuri while her other hand was holding the groceries.

"Okay, aunty. Don't let go of my hand unless you want to get left behind."

Having received a nod of confirmation, Igor closed his eyes and spread out his senses towards Baraquiel's home.

[Oh...]
