Adopted Soldier

After the fiasco with Kei, the group was able to do some practicing. Kei was as expected unable to act well, his voice was also a bit husky making it sound weird with his new looks. So after a brief discussion, they decided that Rachel would be doing a voice over for Kei.

Seeing as she wouldn't be able to become the female lead, being the voice of the female lead was good as well. It was quite hard to match up to her voice with Kei's moving mouth, but after a few more tries she was able to get the timing right.

After an hour of practicing the group from the Drama Club as well as the Mercenary Club needed to leave.

...

As the group was heading towards Lilitth and Niki's school, Emily and Rachel sandwiched Sayaka in between them.

"So Saya what are you going to do about Oliver?" Rachel whispered to Sayaka.

"You'll find out tomorrow, it's going to be a surprise."

"Oh, don't act coy, we all know that you're going to say yes." Emily chimed in, and the girls started giggling.

On the boy's side, Alex closed in on Oliver. He then whispered something to his friend. "Oliver are you sure about this? Asking Saya to be your girlfriend."

"I'm sure."

"Even though she is an assassin, do you think she would be able to handle your lifestyle?" Alex was obviously referring to his Oliver's lifestyle as a mercenary. When Oliver heard Alex say this, another thought pass through his mind.

Oliver's mind was currently in a very weird state that he couldn't understand so it might have some problems with the relationship he wanted. Still as a man and one who wants to stand in the pinnacle of strength, sweating the small stuff such as this, didn't feel right.

"It's alright Alex I can handle it, and I'm sure she could as well. If she can't, then I'll protect her." Oliver spoke with assurance as he answered.

Alex who saw the resolute Oliver felt something weird. 'To make Oliver decide to do this, he must really love Saya...' For some reason, Alex looked at Rachel for a moment, before he shook his head.

'What the hell am I thinking? Why am I thinking about it? Damn it, what is this feeling? These people have opened up to me, and I remained the same. What's the point of all this strength that I gained? What's the purpose, why did I do this?'

Alex had gone silent as he started to question himself. Oliver unaware of what was going on thought that he and Alex were having a moment.

...

Kei, on the other hand, was having even more problems now. He was having a roller coaster of a day. A lot has happened and it was really a lot. At this moment Kei couldn't help but look at Emily and think about that supposed date of his with her.

He had failed his confession to Sayaka and was now going on a date with an equally cute girl. Was everything happening right now, really happening, or was he still in a fever dream because of the hallucinogens Emily spread.

Noticing Kei was staring at her, Emily smiled at him and winked. Seeing that cute display from Emily, Kei couldn't help but avert his eyes and blush. Emily on the other hand couldn't help but smile even more seeing on how cute Kei was acting.

'What the hell is wrong with me! First I think Sayaka is the one I like and was about to confess to her. Now I think Emily is cute and I want to confess to her! What the hell is this?! Am I just another f*cking h*rny teenager? Skipping from one girl to another.'

Kei was scolding himself in his mind.

...

Niel who was watching all the varied expressions of his juniors found all of these quite interesting. All of them seem to be improving. He couldn't help but chuckle on how nice everyone's relationships, were flowing so smoothly.

'Hmm, I guess I should also try my luck.'

...

The group got Lilitth and Niki from school and went their separate ways. It was at this point Alex remembered the thing he asked Rachel to do.

"Emily I want you, to head home first." Emily didn't ask any questions and simply followed what Alex ordered. This surprised Alex but he had no time to deal with this at the moment. With Lilitth at hand, Alex approached Rachel.

Seeing Alex nearing her got Rachel confused for a bit. If Alex were a normal guy, with everything that happened as well as seeing his best friend confessed to a girl, Alex would've thought about confessing to her; but seeing as Alex was far from a normal boy, she didn't expect much.

"Rachel, pack what you need and like I said yesterday come with me back to my house."
