PHASE 86 - A KNOCKOUT PUNCH FROM HIS LOVELY DAUGHTER

PHASE 86 - A KNOCKOUT PUNCH FROM HIS LOVELY DAUGHTER

Weeks started to go by so quick.

We resumed our daily high school lives with happiness and peacefulness. There’s no major enemy as of yet, and Eidolons attacks are not so much of a threat for us. I mean, we have the power of mythical gods on our side. The big sister of our group even have the power of three primal gods, and her baby brother has a Ph.D. in Void Arts. My boyfriend is the God of Kings, and I’m a demigoddess myself. The Black Cross already recognizes the Aether Crusade as its special team for crucial operations. Certainly, nobody would be so courageous to stand up against us.

The Aether Crusade are lying low on major operations, and all of us are focused on finding the Twelfth God Core. Finding the last one is harder than we thought.

But...

I found something that I have been searching for a long time. Or more properly, someone I’ve been longing to meet.

The bell rang from the tenth floor of the campus.

It’s Friday, the end of the school week. Rikkun and I talked about our rematch since it’s Fried Day Friday. We were planning to have an eat-all-you-can buffet of fried chicken wings at the most popular restaurant in time, but there’s a slight change in our itinerary.

Right at the school gate is my twin Diadem, who is still wearing his school uniform. He has resumed studying now, but since he quit a long time ago, he now serves as my lowerclassmen. He’s just delayed for about a year, but he will graduate in no time.

Anyway, I’m not surprised that he’s waiting at the gate. I’m surprised at the person he’s with.

He’s a tall man with long chocolate hair tied in a ponytail. He looks like he’s on his early forties, but his bulky body makes him look younger like in the thirties. He’s wearing a red jacket that reveals his muscular chest.

“Sis Tiara…” Diadem said with a smile as he presented the weird man in front. “I’ve finally found him.”

“Him?” I tilted my head. My eyes gazed upon the man’s sky blue eyes, which made me realize that I have the very same color of irises as him.

“He’s Frederick Solstice. Our father.” Diadem continued.

“Fa…”

Father!?

“Good afternoon, Tiara… My beautiful daughter...” The man turned away as he scratched his cheek.

We still went with the plan on Fried Fridays. We chose that restaurant where we should talk together as a father and daughter. Together with us are Rikkun and Diadem.

We're done in the basic introductions. I introduced my punching bag- I mean boyfriend Rikkun to my father, and he's more than glad that I already have somebody to love. My father seems to know that Rikkun is a good person at first glance, so he immediately welcomed him with open arms.

So for now, let's go for the food before it gets cold!

Chomp. Chomp. Chomp.

I’m quite hungry, so I immediately indulged myself to eat. I have already eaten twenty chicken wings and fifteen chicken popsicles. Don’t blame me for being so hungry! I’m just tired of school!

Chomp. Chomp. Chomp.

On the other hand, the middle-aged man named Frederick Solstice… or more appropriately, my father, is contesting my reign as the queen of gluttons. He matched my speed in chomping, and he’s currently down with nineteen chicken wings and seventeen chicken popsicles.
