Adopted Soldier

Once Alex was done giving his lecture, the manager of the haunted house came and thanked him for the advise. He happily told Alex that even though they didn't have the budget to change the costumes as of now, they will try to improve it later on. The manager even offered Alex a job as a consultant, in which he turned it down.

It took a whole fifteen minutes to convince the manager to stop bothering Alex with the job offer. When that was done the group started to look for other rides Lilitth and Niki could enjoy, but due to their heights that was a difficult thing to do.

Then finally the group found something Lilitth was interested in, it was a shooting game where you can win a prize. The game was simple enough to understand, shoot the prize you want, and if you're able to knock it down it's yours.

"Nii-nii I want that one." Niki pointed at the a doll inside a box. It was marked as the third best prize.

"Alright my little princess, let your Nii-nii get it for you." After Niel reassured Niki that he would win the doll for her. With his ever enchanting aura and smile, Niel approached the man who was stationed in the booth.

The man who was saw the approaching Niel got confused for a moment. He thought an extremely hot girl was approaching, but upon closer inspection it was just an extremely good looking boy. He was still in a state of shock that he wasn't able to speak at first, and just dumbly stared at Niel.

"Excuse me Sir, how much for a game?" Even though Niel had spoken to him, the man who was in charge of the booth was still in a dazed state.

"Excuse me Sir, are you alright?" Even Niel who was used to being stared at, was weirded out by this reaction.

"Oh sorry about that... I... I was just remembering something. So how can I help you little lady, I mean lad, how can I help you young lad?" The man was still in confused state as he spoke to Niel.

Still the ever perfect guy, believed that he had charmed the man in the booth so much, that he might have actually mistaken him for a woman.

'Well it's only natural with my charms.' With complete confidence in himself, that was the only reason Niel could think off, seeing the reaction of the man in the booth. Either that or the man has a thing for boys. Well either way Niel's charm still proved a powerful force.

"How much for a game?"

"Oh, a game?... Oh right 50 zigs for three shots. If you're able to make the prize you want fall, then it's yours."

Niel took some money from his wallet and payed for one game. When the man received the money he handed Niel a BB gun shaped like a rifle.

"How heavy is the ammo?" Niel asked a weird question at the man in the booth. This was the first time the man was asked such a question and he didn't know the answer to it. Still he has been handing out those guns for a few months now, and he could probably estimate the weight.

"Around half a gram I guess. I'm not really sure... Why do you ask kid?"

"Nothing much, thanks for the info though."

Niel then positioned himself in the most comfortable position he could take holding this kind of BB gun. Niel for the past few days has held a real rifle, and the weight of this BB gun felt a bit off for him, so he took an unorthodox stance.

Alex who was observing Niel, noticed that Niel holding the BB gun felt that he might actually have experience shooting a real rifle. Well ever since Alex had met Niel the atmosphere Niel held was different from the others.

Niel felt unreal to Alex, to him Niel was like the clouds in the sky. Not bothered by anything or anyone, simply going were the wind takes him. Quite the opposite of himself who is bound by numerous chains, ever since childhood.

Niel who was unaware of Alex's complex thoughts about him, was aiming the BB gun at the box the doll was in. The BB gun was a lever action gun, so the next shot would be delayed a few seconds.

Once he was done with his internal preparations, Niel shot the BB gun, the bullets all aimed at the top of the box. With great accuracy Niel was able to make the box fall winning him the prize exactly after three shots.

The man in the booth was shocked to see Niel able to get the third best prize quite easily. This was the first time he saw someone shoot using a BB gun with that kind of accuracy. Still a bit shocked, he handed the prize to Niel.

"Here you go my darling little sister." Niel who was handed the prize gave it to his cute little sister. Niki who saw how awesome her Nii-nii was, happily received the prize.

"Thanks Nii-nii you're the best." Niki gave out her very own cute like smile, which Niel responded with his own smile. The two Rayheart siblings together had an ever brilliant shining aura surrounding them.

Lilitth who saw how happy Niki was felt a bit jealous and looked at her own brother.

"Umm... Onii-sama can you do that as well?" Lilitth who hasn't been Alex's little sister for long, shyly asked her brother.

Alex looked at Lilitth confused at the question. "Of course I can do that as well. You should know that Lilitth, why do you ask?"

Rachel who heard Alex's answer tried to kick him in the knee, but Alex evaded. "Why are you trying to kick me? I thought I only receive an attack when I do something wrong? What did I do wrong?" Alex asked confused by the sudden attack.

"You're obviously wrong, you idiot! Lilitth was asking you to win her a prize as well." Hearing her desires being shouted out loud, Lilitth lowered her head in embarrasment.

"Is that true Lilitth?" Alex knelt and looked at the embarrassed Lilitth face to face. Lilitth looked at her brother and shyly nodded her head.

When Sayaka saw this action of Lilitth, she wanted to charge forth and hug the little Lilitth, but now wasn't the right time. So she tried to very hard to control herself. Emily on the other hand was taking pictures on her phone planning to sell the pictures to the Master a.k.a Carlo. Niki looked at her friend with a bit of pity, since her friend's brother wasn't as social and observant as hers.

"I see... I'm sorry about that. Rachel come on hit me then." Alex looked at Rachel who shook her head.

"No need, as long as you get it." Alex nodded in response to what Rachel said.

"So Lilitth which prize do you want? Tell me I will get it for you." Hearing her brother agree to her selfish request, Lilitth pointed at the giant bear stuff toy in the middle. This was the first prize of the booth. Based solely on its size, anyone who saw it will think that it was impossible to win it, even if they try a hundred times. How was someone suppose to make that big ass bear fall with just a BB gun?

Alex on the other hand wasn't like everybody else and started thinking about a way for him to win. After thinking for awhile Alex approached the man in charge of the shooting booth, and handed him 200 zigs.

"Load up four of those BB guns."

...

While Alex was preparing to win his little sister a big bear stuff toy, a meeting between two sword masters was happening.

Ken who was in a meditative state, opened his eyes with a grin on his face.. "It has been a long time Ryu."
