Adopted Soldier

It was Sunday morning and Alex wasn't able to rest at all, as he went all out with his muscle training. He didn't notice how much time had passed by, as he was thinking ever so deeply about many things. Still ever since he learned about this new feeling he had for Rachel, Alex gets distracted a lot in practice, making him unable to notice that he went beyond the time frame he wanted to train in.

Making Alex who already had the perfect muscle structure for battle, have muscles that looked more refined than before. It was a subtle difference that only people on the level of Carlo and Lyner could notice, but there was no denying Alex's body was getting stronger.

This was because of his training and because he was still a growing boy that was still in his teens.

...

Alex who just finished training took a shower, and headed towards the dining room. In there he heard the giggling of three girls. The three were none other than Rachel, Lilitth, and Evangeline.

Ever since Evangeline came to live with them as well, the two girls that were guest proposed that they would do the cooking. Lilitth intrigued by this also joined the two to help in cooking, and for the past few days, the three cooked for breakfast, and dinner.

Rachel was actually quite good in cooking, Evangeline was a quick learner, and Lilitth was pretty good for her age. The meals they had weren't even near the level of the cooks in the mansion, but for some reason the girls enjoyed eating their cooking more than the chefs, but what they enjoyed even more was to serve Alex their cooking.

Alex didn't bother to stop them, since he could literally eat anything. In times of need he could even eat poison food and won't be affected that much. In the past few days Rachel and Evangeline stayed in the mansion, Alex noticed that the two girls who used to be always quarreling with each other were getting along better than before.

He also noticed that the two had made Lilitth into their own little sister. Well that wasn't so surprising with the way Lilitth acts she could make anyone think she is their little sister.

...

During meals when the four of them eat, the maids and butlers no longer surround the table. This was a request Rachel made a few days ago, since she didn't really felt comfortable eating while a bunch of people were staring at her.

Once the four finished eating their meals, the usual ritual commenced.

"So Alex how was it? Was it better than yesterday." Rachel asked as she squeezed Alex's left arm.

"It didn't taste too salty, did it?" Evangeline on the other hand squeezed onto Alex's right arm.

"Onii-sama I hope the food was to your liking." Lilitth who had gotten less formal and more attached to Alex, sat on his lap as she said this. Alex being surrounded by three pretty, beautiful, and cute girls would be hated and envied by every man in the nation, but to the person in question this daily routine after eating was a bit troublesome.

In the beginning he told the truth, and explained to them how they could improve, but that just made the three girls sad and dejected. He then tried to compliment them as much as he could, but they told him that their was no need to be so fake, and once again felt dejected.

After that Alex tried different ways to react to their cooking, until finally he got the right answer. These girls wanted to be praised, but not too much. They also wanted to be told on how to improve but only little by little.

"It was a nice meal, but you could have added some more ginger and garlic in the chicken, to make taste a bit more."

"Oh you're right, we'll try that next time." After hearing Alex say that the meal they made was nice, the three girls started talking to each other, ignoring Alex who was squeezed in the middle of the three.

This went on for a few more minutes, until Rachel received a message from Emily. After reading the message she stood up and spoke to Alex.

"Hey Alex Emily just told me that she won't be able to get the costumes for the play this Friday. She says we need to go get them. She told me that she's stuck in some line to get a prop we need for the play."

Alex knew that it was near impossible for Emily to make a mistake like that and ask someone else to do it. He was nearly a hundred percent sure, that this was some ploy she thought off to mess with him. So Alex decided to call her, but before Alex could do that, Lilitth and Evangeline interrupted him.

"Onii-sama and Rachel nee-san are going out. Can I come too?" Lilitth asked Alex using her cuteness to her advantage. Niki had thought her various ways to make people comply to what she wanted to do by using some poses. The one Lilitth was using now, was her looking at Alex with upturned eyes, as well as showing a little bit of tear drops ready to fall.

"Of course if you guys are going out, then I should accompany you as well. Seeing as this is a play for the school and I'm your student council president, it is my job to help every student in need."

Rachel before she moved in with Alex, would've wanted to push Evangeline away and make this a date between her and Alex, with Lilitth on the side. But now after a few days of living together she felt a bit closer to the three of them, so she didn't react as strongly as she used too.

Alex who noticed that Rachel wouldn't say anything about this, felt a bit tired. This situation didn't even allow any other answer except for a yes. So without any choice in the matter, Alex told the other two that they could tag along.

The three girls then dashed back into their rooms to change.. This is how Alex's Sunday morning started.
