The trouble ended and I, Azazel, was tagging along with Barakiel who was planning to buy souvenirs in Japan.
It seems like the other idiots asked Barakiel to bring them stuff when he returns. Man, those guysâŚ.. Well, it canât be helped since their Governor which is me is like this.
When I was resting on a bench inside the department store, Barakiel returned carrying many bags with his hands.
ââŚ..Hmm. Looks like I have everything they asked for.â
âGood job.â
Barakiel sits next to me. He seems exhausted. For a stiff warrior-type like him, shopping must be hard. But he still finishes everything to the end once he is asked to do something.
I then took out a bento-box which is inside a pouch out from the bag I am carrying.
âBarakiel. Here, take it.â
âWhat is this wrapping?â
âJust open it.â
When he opened it, there was a single bento-box.
ââŚ..Bento?â
Itâs something Akeno gave me when I was on my way here. She gave it to me without saying anything, but I knew who I had to give it to without asking her.
âThis isâŚ.â
When he opened the bento-box, it had magnificent Japanese food inside which is full with different colours.
Barakiel looks at me. I urged him to âEat itâ without saying it and by making a smile.
He took the hashi[1] and puts the food into his mouth timidly.
That momentâŚ.a single tear drip down from Barakielâs eyes.
ââŚâŚ.Nikujaga[2]âŚâŚ.. It has the taste of Shuri.â
He started gulping them and was addicted to it. He just kept on eating it while being silent.
He was eating it with enthusiasm while shedding many tears.
I then said it to my friend.
âLeave Akeno to me, Rias, and others. There isnât a problem. The guy who she fell for is an idiot and is lecherous, but he is a good guy.â
Barakiel stops his hashi, and covers his eyes with his hand. He then says it to me while his voice is mixed with a cry.
âHeâŚ.I want to believe that he willâŚâŚtake care of Akeno.â
