Adopted Soldier

No matter how much Emily tried she just couldn't get Alex hooked in watching anime, like she expected. She just couldn't understand it, he was able to quickly get into gaming but why not anime? Well Alex did need to do his best because of the club... When Emily reminded herself on how Alex started to play, she suddenly had a brilliant idea and was now able to think of her next move.

Today she might not be able to hook in Alex, but she was still able to hook in Lilitth ojou-chan, so that was good enough. Still Emily wouldn't just give up. She now had a new plan on how to get Alex interested in anime as well.

...

The following day to Alex's surprise Emily was going to attend school today. She was actually waiting for Alex and Lilitth in the front gates of the mansion.

"What made you, suddenly decide to go to school today?" Alex couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing much... I just felt like going to school today." Emily who was wearing the school uniform with her tied in twintails. She actually looked like a middle schooler pretending to be a high schooler, but still she looked cute.

"Okay, but I need to go and fetch Rachel first. If you want you can go to school ahead of me."

"No, it's alright let's go get Rachel."

Lilitth who was holding Alex's left hand, reacted when she heard the name Rachel. Every now and then when the siblings talk Alex would sometime blurt out this name. So this must mean that this Rachel person was someone important to her onii-sama, so she as the little sister decided to check her out.

Before they left Alex looked back and felt a bit weird. He was sure that at this point Carlo would suddenly appear and fawn all over Lilitth, but surprisingly the only person to see them off was the head butler.

Intrigued by this turn of events, Alex asked the head butler what had happened to Carlo. Which the head butler answered in a tone of voice that sounded like he was trying to suppress a sigh.

"The Master is in his study still fixing the so called Holy Album." When Alex heard this reply he wanted to smack his face. He was having difficulty accepting this sudden change of Carlo, but it was a fact that he was already like this so why deny it.

Without saying anything anymore Alex and his group simply left.

....

A few meters away from the mansion Emily suddenly spoke.

"Hey Alex aren't you going to ask me about my progress in hacking into the master's computer?"

"No not really. I haven't even fulfilled my end of the bargain so I wasn't expecting for you to fulfill yours at the moment."

"As usual how very rigid of you. Well anyway I started to try and hack it yesterday, and it would seem like it might take me a week or two to hack into it. The defense system of the master's computer is simply Godly. The one who created that system must be a part of that squad."

Alex didn't bother to say anything to Emily, since it felt like she already knows the answers to her own questions.

...

After a few more minutes Alex and his group finally reached Rachel's house, and the person waiting for them, was none other than Dan Regius who was standing at the front door.

"Alex as punctual as usual, early even. So I heard you ran into trouble yesterday. I hope you didn't make anyone of those punks touch even a hair of my daughter." Dan was smiling at Alex, but while doing so he was also sending an immense bloodlust directed at Alex.

"Don't worry Instructor Dan, I've protected her properly."

Dan then touched Alex's shoulder and squeezed it using a great force. When Lilitth saw what Dan was doing, she was about to hit the bad man hurting her onii-sama. Yet Alex stopped her by holding her right hand tighter.

"Really did you actually protect her? Then how come you guys got attacked in the-" Dan wasn't able to finish his sentence as he dodged an incoming attack. The one who attacked him was his very own daughter, Rachel herself.

"What the hell are you doing you old man!"

"I was just worried about you my one and only daughter."

"Don't talk like that! You're giving me the creeps, also mom has been looking for you. She was saying something about who ate her yogurt."

"Oh sorry about this but I need to go. Have a good day in school my precious angel. Alex you better protect her properly." Rachel was about to retort, but Dan already disappeared from sight.

"Sorry about that. The sh*tty father of mine, is just being overprotective... Oh who is this? You must be Lilitth, I'm Rachel nice to meet you." Rachel knelt on the ground to be on eye level with Lillith and then smiled at her.

Lilitth who saw how aggressive an entrance Rachel made, didn't leave a good impression of her, but she still needed to properly answer as Alexander Samarita's little sister. She did her usual curtsy and responded.

"Hello I'm Lilitth. I'm Alexander Samarita's little sister, it's nice to finally meet you Rachel. My onii-sama talks about you a lot." Hearing what Lilitth said Rachel started blushing.

"Really? I wonder what kind of things he talks about?" Rachel shyly took a peek at Alex before smiling brightly at Lilitth.

"Oh something like you always attack when your embarrassed. Also that you always seem to be in need of protection, despite having sufficient fighting capabilities of your own." Lilitth was still smiling ever so cutely but the words she was saying were prickly in Rachel's ears.

"Really he talks about me like that?" Rachel took a peek at Alex, but as usual his stoic face betrayed no emotion.

"Sometimes he talks about you like that, but I'm sure onii-sama was just exaggerating. I'm sure you really aren't exactly like that." Alex who heard what Lilitth said, didn't correct her since what she said were indeed the things he said. Though Lilitth simply didn't say the other things about Rachel that he talks about.

Rachel on the other hand thought about her previous behavior, and she couldn't deny anything Lilitth said, since she acted exactly as Lilitth described her. It was a good thing that Alex hasn't told her about yesterday, when she didn't believe in him.

It seems like her first impression on Alex's little sister wasn't all that good, but she can still turn it around.

"Hey Lilitth how about we hang out later, after school. You can bring your brother along. I'm sure will have tons of fun.." Rachel was now determined to make Lilitth see her in a good light.
