Episode 22: The Blessing
The school bell rang, and Subaki and Tsubasa left, leaving Aizakawa alone with Mialethra.
Mialethra immediately hit Aizakawa on the head in frustration.
> "You idiot! Why did you say yes to them!?"
Aizakawa quickly replied,
> "Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to! I'm such an idiot… Oh right, by the way, I've never met your parents before, have I?"
Mialethra sighed, and they both decided to visit her house.

When they arrived, Aizakawa was introduced to Mialethra's parents:
Father: Fordlethra
Mother: Sialethra
Aizakawa greeted them politely,
> "It's nice to meet you both."
Fordlethra replied in awe,
> "You're Evros from TV, aren't you? Wow, my daughter's dating him! That's incredible!"
Then, Fordlethra invited Aizakawa to see his laboratory.
It turned out that Fordlethra was a scientist and doctor working for the Japanese military.
He showed Aizakawa a vial of Soros's remaining blood and explained that he was developing future protective technology for humanity by combining the blood with his inventions.
Nearby, Aizakawa noticed a strange cell sample sealed inside another glass container.
> "What's that one for, sir?"
Fordlethra replied,
> "Oh, that's a failed experiment. I was planning to dispose of it."
But Aizakawa seemed intrigued by the monster cell and politely asked if he could keep it.
Fordlethra nodded and gave him permission.

Returning to the main topic, Aizakawa looked serious and said,
> "Sir, may I have your permission to date your daughter?"
Fordlethra smiled warmly and replied,
> "Of course. Please take good care of her."
With that, Aizakawa and Mialethra said their goodbyes and went out on a date together.
Sialethra smiled, while Fordlethra chuckled and said,
> "Ah… to be young again. I'm a little jealous."

As evening came, Aizakawa brought the experimental cell from Fordlethra's lab to his own storage room.
There, he began to infuse it with his own magic energy…
