High School DxD: A World Without God

Tokyo…

Shinto gods Shrine… (Vermilion Bird)…

After meeting Akeno about whom she first heard from Yoruichi Misty started linking the little girl and at the same time, she also decided to visit the Shrine and later she became good friends with her mother Shuri with her optimistic characteristic.

"So how does it work? " Misty asked with a smile while drinking green tea that she brought for the Shrine visit but now drinking with Shuri.

"What do you mean? " Shuri asked with a confused smile hearing her question which doesn't have any head or tale as always.

"I was asking about you being a Shrine Median even after being the mother of a daughter. " Misty asked with a curious smile.

Hearing her question Shuri knew she is again going to ask some weird thing as always but trying to control her inner emotion she asked with a smile "I still don't understand what you are trying to ask me about? "

"Ok, then I will explain if this way. " Misty said with a nor and after drinking a few youthful she asked "You see from what I heard to become a Shrine Median you need to be a… "

"Ok, that is enough. I know what you want to say but why do you think it is wrong to be a Shrine Median after being married and having a daughter? " Shuri asked with an annoyed tone hearing where she is going.

"Well, what about the name then? " Shuri asked her with a confused tone.

"What about the name? " Shuri asked with a confused tone.

"You see the name has a maiden in it but once you did the deed you are not a Maiden anymore are you? So how can you act like a maiden? " Misty asked with a serious face but that smile really made Shuri annoyed to the bones.

"Are you here just to make fun of me then? " Shuri asked with an annoyed tone hearing her words.

"No, actually I found news about your husband. " As she knows if she continues this topic the two of them might end up in an awkward point and she won't be able to say the reason for which she is here.

"Are you sure it's him? " hearing Misty's words Shuri who was mad at her immediately lost all of her anger then asked with an excited face.

"Well, it should be him if your information about him being a fallen is true and his Name is Baraqiel. " Misty said with a nod while handing her a picture from her bag.

"It's really him. " Shuri said while looking at the picture she received from Misty and looking at it her eyes started turning moist with tears without her knowing.

"I know you miss him but to tell you the truth I don't think he will be able to come to you or Akeno-chan in near future because as a high ranking fallen he has a lot of missions in his hand. " even though she wanted to help her and council her at the same time she also didn't want to give her false hope so Misty explained truthfully looking at her.

"I understand. " rubbing and cleaning her moist eyes Shuri said with a pained tone then taking another look at the picture of her husband who leat saying he will return immediately the moment he gets the chance but never returned even after so long which made her a little angry at him for not returning to her and her daughter but hearing Misty's explanation she also understood how much responsible her husband is and forgave him but decided to punish him once he returned to them but thinking about her daughter who always demands to meet her father she asked with a pleading tone "Is there no way for me and Akeno to meet him once by ourself without him coming to us or disturbing him on his job? "

"That will be very difficult if you want to keep it a secret from everyone and meet him as you asked me the last time. " Misty replied with a serious face.

"Then there must be a way to meet him right? " Shuri asked with a hopeful face.

"To tell you the truth I can help you but what can you give me in return? " Misty asked with a smile raising her eyebrows looking at Shuri.

"What do you want? " Shuri asked with a curious face hearing Misty will help her and to be honest she is ready to give almost anything in her reach just to meet the man she fall in love one more time in person.

"It is actually simple you need to send Akeno-chan in the academy to study with Neo and not argue with me anymore about this matter. " Misty replied with a serious face.

"No, I can't just receive your help just like that and besides her study is going pretty well here without going to the Academy. " Shuri denied once more just like the previous times.

"Then you will have to forgive me. " Misty said while getting up from the floor.

"No, wait. " As Shuri knows if she declines her offer Misty will live for real and will not help her next time so she quickly stopped her.

"What? " Misty asked with a serious face.

"Ok I will let you pay for her tuition fee but you will also have to help me to find a job so I can repay you. " Shuri said with determination.

"No problem…"
