Against the Inevitable Destiny
Chapter 12 - Secret Room

After Mr. Akaasa spoke for quite a while.

With a single gulp, he finished his coffee then stood up, turning his head towards Maya.

"Maya, prepare some stuff for the move."

It seemed like he wanted to talk to Ryu alone. And seeing that, Riyu thought that maybe this was the reason why her grandfather visited her.

After hearing what Mr. Akaasa said, Maya looked at Riyu who Riyu answered with a nod.

Riyu gestured Maya to do as her Grandfather said.

"Yes, Aka-sama."

After seeing him walk a few steps, Mr. Akasa turned towards Riyu and said,

"Follow me."

[The Ground Room ]

Mr. Akaasa takes Riyu to a place that others rarely visit.

It was the Underground Room of the Akaasa Residence.

Just because it was called the Underground Room, did not mean it was an unkempt place. Instead, it was the most sophisticated place in the Akaasa residence.

The reason the place is rarely visited because there are so many items - items that can only be used by certain people.

In addition, in that place there is also a forbidden room that can only be visited by the Akaasa Family Head.

"It's…"

Ryu was quite confused.

It was not that he had never visited the Underground Room. Sometimes he even comes there to practice. He was confused because the path he was walking through was a path he had never traveled.

"We're going to get in that place."

Mr. Akaasa answered Riyu's confusion.

That place that Mr. Akaasa meant was the Secret Place that was in the basement. It was a forbidden place that only the Akaasa Family Head could enter.

The entrance to the room was heavily guarded.

Along the way there are a variety of very strong defenses. Riyu admitted that even with her intelligence, she still could not break through.

The Secret Place was heavily guarded because it held a lot of secrets that ordinary people should not know. Starting from research data, research results, to advanced technology that has not been published.

In addition, there were still other mysteries that enveloped the room.

To Riyu, the Akaasa Family itself was already very mysterious, even it remained mysterious even though he had his feelings and memories in Void.

Well, actually Riyu's feelings say that the Akaasa family connected with her earlier, or at least had a relationship. I don't know what it is, he doesn't know, but clearly, he might be able to figure it out in the future.

"Is it okay? Although indirectly I have become the Head of the Family, but the place is.. isn't it too early?”.

Riyu says. He was a little hesitant to enter that Secret Room. It was not that he did not want to, instead, he wanted to enter the place to satisfy his curiosity.

But just because of his curiosity, he would not ignore his thoughts.

Ryu thought that the place held a lot of secrets. Even if today he was appointed as the Head of the Family, various businesses were still managed by his grandfather. Moreover, due to his immature age, it made him a little hesitant to look at the various secrets that were there.

“No need to worry. We will visit the room you can see.”

Ryu asked, he was a little confused by what his grandfather said.

In his mind the place only had one room, which was to store various data and secret technology.

“No, the room is more mysterious than you think. Even since the Akaasa family was founded, no one has known all the rooms that are there.”

“Eh?”

This even made Ryu even more confused. If even that room was still unknown when the Akaasa family was founded, wouldn't it have existed before the Akaasa family existed? He was completely confused by what his grandfather said.

“You will know it in the future. For now, there is no need to rush. After all, you may be the one, who can know all the secrets of the place.”

After thinking for a moment, Riyu started to calm down and did not think too much about what her grandfather said. He just silently observed the path around him.

.

Along the way, Riyu can clearly see the various security sensors installed there. If not for his grandfather, he was sure the security here would have caught him immediately.

Upon arriving at the entrance, the Akaasa master wrote down one mysterious letter on a black screen. After that, the door immediately opened, revealing the various extraordinary things that were there.

"Ah.

Riyu stared in amazement at the various technologies displayed there.

A wide variety of weapons, such as swords, pistols, scythes, even weapons that he did not know his name were neatly lined up. Various technologies that exist only in the fantasy of each person also exist.

However, what really caught Riyu's attention was 12 Warframes, a battle outfit that seemed to be able to increase the strength and speed of its users, it was equipped with a wide variety of weapons and advanced technology that helped in battle. The warframe that Riyu saw looked cool, and it was covered with glass so that Riyu could see it clearly.

There are all kinds of colors and shapes.

There was a Warframe that had wings behind it. There are also crowns as accessories or may have certain functions. It was a modern Warframe as it was used by the heroes in various novels.

Complementing the Warframe that was there, cool weapons were also displayed there, perhaps suitable for use with the Warframe. It could be said that it was a complete set of individual weaponry.

For its own strength there is no doubt because it was probably used by the Akaasa Ryoma at the time of the Second Eternite Invasion of Hiroshima.

With that Warframe, Ryoma and his wife could fight with the Eternite group and might just battle with the Ruler of Space. How their fight was, no one knew yet because the situation there was quite chaotic.

In Riyu's own mind Warframe was very cool, it was just that…

"Why do most Warframes seem to be only for women?"

That was what he thought, he felt strange because most Warframes were suitable for women instead of men. He was disappointed that he could not choose.

"That's what you asked after coming here?"

Mr. Akaasa felt strange about what Ryu was asking. There were all kinds of amazing things in this room and he asked about it instead.

"Well, that's because it's too flashy."

Riyu answered her brother's question calmly, as if she didn't feel anything strange about the question.

“Is that? Hmmm, indeed, Dad. That warframe was mostly made by women in the Akaasa Family."

Riyu nodded a few times, as if she had understood the truth of the world.

"So then, the men in this family, are really pathetic." (not realizing that he is one of them)

“..... Don't talk about it."

Mr. Akaasa walked over to one of the weapons that were there then he threw something similar to a katana towards Riyu.

Riyu caught the Katana easily then looked at her grandfather, wondering.

"Bring wherever you go."
