Adopted Soldier

While walking many people kept on staring at the group, since they were a very eye catching group of people . An uber muscular handsome boy, a stoic pretty boy, two lovely cute little girls, and a boy who seem so out of place in the group, he made the group even more eye catching . Of course seeing such a group walking together was almost certain to draw attention .

Yet it didn’t bother them, well that is except of course for Kei, who was starting to get a bit embarrassed by the people looking at him . After what seem to be an eternity for Kei, the group finally arrived in the town’s largest arcade .

Alex and Lilitth were looking around curiously as this was the first time, either of the two seen or had been to an arcade . The supposed largest arcade of the town, was only a bit bigger than the gaming room back in the mansion . Still this didn’t lower Alex or Lilitth’s interest, in fact it sparked it even more .

Why are there so many kids? How come there are some weird stuff toys inside a box . Also what are the tickets for? The sibling duo, who are basically killing machines found the arcade to be quite stimulating .

Niki found the reactions of both Alex and Lilitth to be quite exaggerated . Even though Alex still had his expression set to stoic, one could feel his curiosity as he kept on looking at the things in the arcade left and right . His attention kept going away from one thing to another .

On the other hand Oliver who had invited them to the arcade felt a bit happy . This was the first time he came into the arcade with other people . Once the group bought their tokens, Alex asked what he should do with them .

"Huh haven’t you’ve been to an arcade before, comrade?"

Alex came closer to Oliver and whispered in his ear . "You do know my particular circumstances, I haven’t been back in a very long time . My little sister also has a similar problem . "

When Oliver heard what Alex said, he was truly impressed, at his friend’s attention to details . Oliver who was something of a pro in this kind of thing, nodded in appreciation .

"Of course comrade . I’m sorry about that . So the tokens are used to play the various games in this arcade . Here let me show you, hmm this game might interest you . " Oliver went in front of a gun game, in which he inserted tokens .

Alex who saw this was watching very closely, even Lilitth who knew nothing of the arcade as well, was also watching Oliver closely . Once the tokens were inserted the game started . It asked if the player would play alone or with another, Oliver picked solo play .

When the game began, Oliver skipped the opening sequence and went straight into the gameplay . Oliver who was holding a gun that looked like a peacemaker, got into a proper stance for shooting . The moment the enemy terrorist appeared, Oliver with great accuracy hit the targets with extreme efficiency .

Alex who was watching Oliver was greatly impressed by his form as he was shooting . The way Oliver was playing this game felt like he truly knew how to hold a gun . While watching Oliver, Alex noticed something weird . Every time Oliver was about to reload he would aim the gun downwards and shoot .

"Oliver why do you keep on doing that? If this wasn’t a game wont you get hit? Or worse your bullet might ricochet, and you might hit a possible ally . "

"Comrade, you’re forgetting, this is a game . So you do not need to apply those rigorous things, in this . I know this isn’t anything like real battle, but it’s a fun way to pass the time . Also this way you can just shoot without thinking about the consequences since this is simply just a game . "

While Oliver was explaining all this, he was still shooting so accurately . Alex thought that what Oliver said made sense . So he decided to try and have fun . He then for some reason remembered that maid, that like to play video games .

Alex told Lilitth that he wanted to take a picture to commemorate their first time in an arcade . Which Lilitth replied with a yes, extremely happy that Alex asked her .

After taking the pic of them in the arcade, Alex sent the photo to the maid in question .

. . .

’Ding’

The maid who was in front of a computer looked at the message she received . She saw that it was from her young master . When she looked at the message her young master sent, she was surprised, sad, angry, happy, and a bunch of different emotions flooded out of her .

"The young master, and Lilitth-chan went to an arcade, and they did so without me! I had so many plans, that I wanted to implement when we went to the arcade for the very first time . Now it’s all ruined! Damn it! Whoever is responsible for doing this better watch his back . "

The maid was fuming mad, as she typed even faster and harder at her keyboard .
