Chapter 395: Day 1.1 – Alexa side

“What did Ale said?” Alexa said as soon as she opened her eyes.

It was a brand new day, she had gone to sleep the night before ensuring that the message she sent about the question had the checkmark of received! Alexa asked [Main Core] if it had been received or not and [Main Core] said it was!

Alexa made sure it had a checkmark! So Ale got the message!

[No response was lodged within the database.]

“Ale failed Alexa!” Alexa screamed at the injustice of the world. She had never expected for Ale to fail like this!

How was it possible!

Alexa couldn’t believe it, so she did what was normal for an Alexa whose hopes and dreams had been betrayed, she did what a normal Alexa who just woke up excited to find out who was the secret person that was going to meet them only to find out she had nothing!

She kicked the bedsheet to the skies in defiance! She stood up on top of her bed and as the bedsheet fell behind her in the most dramatical way possible Alexa raised her closed fist at the heavens and declared.

“Curse you [Fate]!” Alexa then started shaking her head at the heavens while frowning and putting her most wrath filled expression possible, “Curse you for not granting Alexa the knowledge she wants!”

And continued to do such a thing for a few minutes for dramatic effect.

When she was sure she had filled the imaginary quote of cursing the heavens for this day Alexa let herself fall back into the bed in a sitting position, she liked the feeling of bouncing on the bed after all. She also made sure that her feet where dangling on the side of the bed for the most powerful cute effect possible known to Alexakin.

“Hmmm….” And while she was doing that, Alexa couldn’t help but think, there was something odd here, “Alexa woke up on the bed.”

For starters it was that, she had not expected that, usually Ale would wake up first, take control of their body, brush their teeth, brush their hair, prepare breakfast, prepare their thingies and after she was done eating her part of the breakfast, she would call out Alexa.

“But Alexa woke up here… So then… did Ale not wake up in time?” Alexa couldn’t help but shake her head, “Alexa is an understanding big sister, so its fall to Alexa to make breakfast!”

It was only logical, if Ale was still sleeping, then someone had to prepare their breakfast! And who was better for this than Alexa! Alexa was also a big girl after all!

“It’s decided!” Alexa declared herself, even if the heavens objected, even if the heavenly providence decided to incarnate into a demigod, stand in front of Alexa and tell her ‘No’, Alexa would still do it! “Because Ale needs to eat breakfast! She is a growing sister to Alexa, and she shall eat!”

It was totally not because Alexa wanted to cook, and prove to everyone that she was a big girl! No sir!

“To the kitchen!” So with great gusto Alexa jumped into the floor, ready for everything that [The World] could throw at her!

So Alexa moved forward! She marched with everything she had, ready to defeat all the enemies that came forward to stop her path to victory! Her path towards world domination!

“Cold!” At least till her feet touched the floor, and she was met with her first enemy.

The cold floor, Alexa quickly jumped back into the comfort of her warm bed and glared at the first great antagonist that Alexa had ever found.

“[Main Core]!” Alexa quickly pulled out her greatest ass under her sleeve… Even if she didn’t have a sleeve as she liked to use sleeveless tops! “Status report! Give Alexa the current situation report!”

[Currently host is within the floating city of Aquila.]

[Host is within the apartment she went to sleep the previous day.]

[Current mission parameters have been set to: Walk to kitchen and find sustenance.]

“Not that!” Alexa complained as she continued glaring at the floor, even if she had to do it with glares she would make sure to find out, “The status of the floor! The evil floor that is as cold as the glacial heart of the purple woman!”

Alexa complained yet again, just to make sure her complaint was filed properly.

[… Currently temperature of floor was lodged at thirteen Celsius.]

Thirteen whole Celsius?!?!?

That was like almost cold enough to be a tasty cup of mango juice! But it was too cold for her feet! What was Alexa supposed to do now?!?!?

She needed to ensure the breakfast was ready by the time that Ale wakes! Just in case, so Ale would have no excuse to say that Alexa was unable to cook!

“Solutions!” Alexa groaned as she spun herself on the bed, now her head was dangling from the bed with her torso looking to the ceiling, “We need solutions [Main Core]! Quick!”

[Mayhap… Mayhap host could make use of the slippers that are besides the bed.]

The what now?

Alexa frowned, slippers? Alexa had slippers? Why would Alexa want to slip? Even so, [Main Core] had offered a solution, so Alexa spun herself again and looked at the hideously cold floor, scanning with her Alexa patented eyes and seeking the mysterious make Alexa slip footwear.

“There!” Alexa quickly found her target, and before the evil and malicious cold floor could claim it for them, Alexa attacked! “Tei!”

And throwing herself graceful into the air, Alexa did a quick 360000° spin and landed on the slippers! Ensuring each of her feet get into one, Alexa could feel the warm embrace of the slippery devices on her feet as she slipped on the floor for miles upon miles! (She moved five centimeters)

“Victory!” Alexa declared proudly as she was safe from the first enemy of the day, having conquered her enemy Alexa was proud of her achievements, “And… where is the victory screen?”

Alexa couldn’t help but complain about the missing development on this. This was a terrible design, she had survived one terrible encounter! She needed her level up! How were the numbers supposed to go up if she didn’t get a reward for this?!?!?

“Alexa will complain!” Alexa complained, “Alexa wants to see the manager!”

[…Sending query.]

[Query received, deploying response…]

Now that was Alexa was speaking about, she was somewhat disheartened since she didn’t got enough experience, but maybe this was a tutorial stage?

“Or it could be because Ale has been the one to fight? Alexandra also fought before… Did they level up Alexa?” Alexa couldn’t help but think about that, she hadn’t fought had she? She did some miscellaneous missions here and there, but most of those she had left to Ale, since Ale was the one that was supposed to be doing that.

All that Alexa needed to do was be happy, that was what Alexa was here to do after all. No wait, then Alexa didn’t need the level up did she?

Well, she didn’t got it, so it was fine. If anything she would send it to Ale later, but for now, Alexa had more important things to do!

“To the kitchin!” Alexa said pointing at the door of the bedroom!

She had conquered her first enemy, so all that was between her and the kitchen was the door! And that held no power over Alexa! So she darted forward and-

“Oh, she did woke up in time.” She found [Fan Girl] and [Meat Shield] sitting at the table, eating.

“And she did come from that door, wonder how she did that.” [Fan Girl] said pointing at Alexa’s bedroom, what bedroom was she supposed to come from? “Do you think that if we open that door we will find Ale there?”

Ale?

“Ale was here?” Alexa was confused, Ale had oversleep, had she not? Why where they pointing at Ale’s bedroom?

“She got into her room and told us to wait for you,” [Meat Shield] said pointing also at Ale’s bedroom, “She went in there and said you would wake up soon enough, and to tell you not to worry, that she is almost done with the [Maintenance] to set the connection between the [Consciousness Stream] into something more stable.”

Alexa was confused, Ale woke up? But she didn’t wake up Alexa?

That… was not possible, was it?

“[Main Core].” Alexa said looking up, “Is Ale in that room?”

[Inconclusiv-]

That’s what Alexa thought too.

“Alexa will check anyway.” Alexa still moved forward and put her hand on the doorknob.

*Sizzle*

As soon as she did so, the sound of flesh being melted off started, and the smell of burnt flesh came a second later. Alexa still ignored that and opened the door, her hand was already being fixed and the smell was quickly suppressed by her [Nanites]. She made sure the sound waves didn’t propagate further than needed.

Alexa nodded and merely pushed the door open, what she found inside though…

“… No one is here.” Alexa said as she looked around, the room was normal, there was nothing out of order. The only thing that Alexa could see was that Ale’s sneakers were on the base of the bed.

Roughly around the spot her slippers would have been if this was Alexa’s room, the bedsheets were messed around as if someone had just laid on the bed.

[Detected foreign mana.]

[Attempting to analyze…]

“Foreign mana?” Alexa was surprised by that one, she hadn’t seen that one before, mostly because it was Ale and [Main Core] the ones that dealt with most of this, well, the previous [Main Core] anyway.

“So Ale was here.” Alexa said nodding.

“Oh, so it was empty.” [Fan Girl] suddenly spoke behind Alexa.

“ASDLHSALDF!” Alexa did what any grown up girl would do and reacted calmly at that, “So, did Ale say anything else?”

And acted as nonchalant as an Alexa would under the circumstances.

“To get you to eat breakfast, she set up your plate and told us to get you to pick between Mango Juice or Choco milk.” [Fan Girl] said pointing at the table.

There Alexa saw… heaven.

“Alexa’s breakfast of champions!” Alexa couldn’t believe it, it was something she hadn’t been able to eat that often, since usually Alexandra was too tired to wake up early for breakfast.

And she was the only one that knew how to cook it, Ale hadn’t wanted to learn it, and she usually cooked grown up food, not like what Alexa or Alexandra liked to eat in the mornings, but…

“Did… Did Ale make this?” Alexa couldn’t help but ask as she sat on her raised up chair for big girls like Alexa, looking at her spork ready for her, at the side of the plate of heavenly food was her sippy cup ready to receive the nectar of the gods.

“Yeah, she told us that you may need the extra energy. Apparently she had been practicing?” [Fan Girl] said as she stood besides the table with a jar and a glass bottle, “So? What will it be?”

“Alexa wants Mango Juice please.” Alexa said grabbing hold of her spork, “And extra honey.”

“Ahead of you.” [Meat Shield] pointed at a small Alexa sized Jar on the table, “Tell me how much.”

[Meat Shield] lifted it and started pouring the honey on Alexa’s plate, at the same time [Fan Girl] started filling Alexa’s sippy cup with the heavenly nectar.

“Ale was right, you do love the Mango Pancakes huh.” [Fan Girl] said smiling.

“Yesh.” Alexa was not crying, she was just happy, this was one of the first things that Alexandra had made for them after all, and Alexa had missed it.

“Ale also ate a plate, and she didn’t listen to us while we talked about what we were planning for the day either.” [Fan Girl] said shaking her head with a smile on her face.

“So is Ale okay?” Alexa asked worried, she liked to eat this, but she would like it more if Ale wouldn’t hide from her like that.

The fact that the door into her room had tried to stop Alexa, and even hurt Alexa was not a good thing, Alexa didn’t think that it was something Ale would do. And it was not something that [Meat Shield] or [Fan Girl] could do either.

So that meant someone had tried to stop Alexa.

That was not good, Alexa was in her happy place, this was the place that was meant for Alexa to be happy, this was where she was supposed to be. But now this happened? And where was the [Mom] person? [Aunty Viv]?

They were supposed to be here, eating breakfast with Alexa. The [Mom] person was who was supposed to cook Alexa’s favorite food. [Aunty Viv] was the one who was supposed to bring cakes and homework for Alexa.

“Well, tell us if you want more. We may not be as good as Ale making them, but we did saw her doing them.” [Fan Girl] said as she returned to her own plate.

Unlike Alexa, she was eating one of the boring grown up breakfast that Ale liked to eat.

“Alexa is okay with this one.” Alexa refused though, she didn’t think she would need more after eating what Ale made for her, it would be wrong after all, if Ale thought this was enough for Alexa, then it was enough for Alexa.

It was breakfast made by Ale after all, that was all Alexa would need, if she needed more energy or biomass then she could just nom a random [Human] or [Thing] around her, food that was made by [Family] went into the heart. And Alexa’s heart was full!
