Chapter 200: Heart Knot
In a tavern, Tenraku and Baraqiel sat facing each other.
Baraqiel’s face had a full beard, he is unsmiling and had an old-fashioned and serious personality, but Tenraku knows that his father-in-law is actually a serious ma*ochist. He should not judge him by his appearance.
“Kamiya Tenraku, I have heard about you and Akeno from Azazel, thank you for taking care of Akeno,” Baraqiel said.
“You’re welcome, father-in-law, Akeno is my wife, and I should do all of this,” Tenraku replied with a smile, intentionally or unintentionally accentuating the tone of “wife”, but Baraqiel shook his head when he heard the sound:
“You can just call me by my name, you don’t need to call me father-in-law,” Baraqiel said.
“Why, you don’t approve of my relationship with Akeno?” Tenraku asked.
“No, I know what you have done for Akeno and I approve of your relationship, but I don’t have that qualification, the qualification to be Akeno’s father…” Baraqiel said, with a guilty expression on her face.
At first, Tenraku thought that his father-in-law would disagree with his relationship with Akeno and he would have to go through many tests before he could safely hand over his daughter to him, but when he saw the guilty expression on Baraqiel’s face, Tenraku realized that he was overthinking it.
“That child, is she still resenting me?” Baraqiel asked again after a moment of silence.
