Chapter 20 - Victory Banquet

*The grand ballroom sparkles with supernatural elegance as elite guests mingle.*

Through the crowd, Akiko's parents approach - her father in an immaculate suit, her mother in a stunning kimono. The tension in your shoulders betrays your nerves.

"So this is the young man who stole our daughter's heart," Akiko's mother says warmly.

*Your mother beams with pride as she makes formal introductions.*

"Welcome to the family," your father's voice booms as he joins the gathering.

"Mother, Father," Akiko says softly, taking your hand. "This is my fiancé."

*The weight of the moment hangs in the air as two powerful families unite.*

I mastered up enough courage and said "it's great to finally meet you in person uncle and Aunt." I said with a smile suppressing my inner turmoil and Aki's father tapped my shoulder. "now that I know it's you, I have no objections.....I have all the details of you protecting my daughter in school. please be nice to her." Aki's father said and I smiled at him. "don't worry, with me here, nobody can touch even a single hair on her head." I smiled and all the adults looked at me with funny eyes. "did I say something wrong." I asked them with a surprise look on my face then saw Aki's face all red. "wow son even your father was not that brave at your age." my mom said and everyone started laughing.

*The grand ballroom erupts in good-natured laughter at your bold declaration.*

Through the crowd, Akiko's face burns bright red as she buries it in your shoulder. Your mother wipes tears of mirth from her eyes.

"That's my boy," your father declares proudly. "Direct and honest, just like a true demon should be!"

*The gathering of supernatural elites continues their celebratory mood, glasses clinking in toasts.*

"To the new successor and his fierce protection of our daughter," Akiko's father raises his glass, eyes twinkling with amusement.

"Speaking of protection," your mother interjects mischievously, "perhaps we should discuss grandchildren?"

"Mother!" Akiko squeaks in embarrassment while both families break into fresh peals of laughter.

*The night continues with warmth and acceptance as two powerful families become one.*

"wait where did miyuki go." I asked and my mom said she does not know. "she probably is planning to do something crazy." just as I said this, she appeared in her suit flying over everyone and releasing a projection wall in the grand banquet room. "now let's see what my brother has been up to in the academy." she started playing videos of me fighting off the bad guys that attacked the school and what surprised the people the most was the Rachesa assassins I singlehandedly took care of in a matter of minutes. everyone knew Rachesa, the most powerful assassin organization in the world and I just took care of one of their twelve leaders like they were nothing.

*The grand ballroom falls silent as the projection shows your lethal efficiency.*

Through the stunned crowd, whispers of awe and fear ripple at the display of supernatural combat prowess. The gathered elites watch as you dispatch Rachesa's elite with surgical precision.

"That's my future son-in-law," Akiko's father declares proudly, while diplomatic figures exchange meaningful glances.

*Miyuki grins mischievously from above as the footage continues.*

"And that's not even his full strength," your mother adds casually, sending another wave of murmurs through the assembly.

"Miyuki!" you call out in mock annoyance, though your sister just laughs, clearly enjoying the spectacle.

I made a rope with a little nanotech watch I was wearing and threw it to tie her leg pulling her down from above. "did you really have to do that." I said between my teeth and she replied. "hey bro let's just make sure everyone knows their place okay." hayato came to take her hand and I realized he was also in on it. raising my head, I saw kaori and Kenta smiling down at me and before I could talk, miyuki and hayato had disappeared from my sight.

*The grand ballroom fills with amused chatter at your siblings' antics.*

Through the crowd, diplomatic figures and supernatural elites continue to mingle while discussing your display of power. Akiko squeezes your hand reassuringly.

"Let them have their fun," your mother says with a knowing smile. "Tonight is for celebration."

*The demon island's ancient magic pulses contentedly, acknowledging its new master and the bonds of family that strengthen its power.*

"To the future," your father raises his glass in a toast.

after the final toast, the banquet was finally over and we returned to the mansion together. "I'll have my revenge on the four of you." I sent a message in our group chat and they all started laughing at me.

*The mansion's halls echo with laughter as the four conspirators enjoy their victory.*

Through your phone screen, their teasing messages light up the group chat. Akiko watches with amusement as you plot revenge.

"They certainly know how to make an impression," she says softly, her hand finding yours in the dimly lit corridor.

*The demon island's magic settles around its new master as night falls.*

"Tomorrow's training will be... interesting," your mother comments with a knowing smile as she passes by.

*In their respective rooms, Miyuki, Hayato, Kaori, and Kenta continue their digital celebration of successfully embarrassing their fearsome new demon lord.*

"Sleep well, children," your grandmother's voice echoes through the halls. "Tomorrow brings new adventures."

Aki and I slept in the same room holding each other and before I could wake up, the sound of a camera was heard. opening my eyes, it was my mom along with Akiko's mother who were talking pictures of us sleeping together. "thank God we did not do anything last night." I thought to myself before talking. "don't you have enough pictures already." our parents left the room and Aki finally woke up. "what's wrong." she asked and I replied that it was nothing. after breakfast, we went out to train and everyone was suited. Kenta had customized a suit for Kaori and I started teaching Akiko more advanced dagger skills since that was her best weapon.
