Adopted Soldier

When Evangeline saw that crowd gather in one place, she immediately thought of Alex’s group . Just their mere presence draws in this kind of crowd, not to mention when they do something . Evangeline followed the crowd and as expected she saw Alex doing something outrageous .

Followed with Sayaka hugging Lilitth, while screaming how cute she was . Even in a place as big as an amusement park it was easy to spot the group .

"Hi everyone, are you having fun?" Niki who saw Evangeline for the first time, introduced herself .

"Hello, I assume you are a friend of my Nii-nii . I hope we get along nicely . " Alongside her cute smile Niki curtsied .

"Oh my, what an adorable little sister you are . You must be Niki Rayheart, the little sister of one of the best students in our school, Niel Rayheart . " Hearing her brother being praised, Niki couldn’t help but smile even wider .

"You finally made it Eva . " Sayaka who was still hugging Lilitth, made Eva intervene .

"Umm, Saya I think you had enough of hugging Lilitth . Being hugged that tightly isn’t really that nice . "

"Oh it’s alright Evangeline, this isn’t uncomfortable at all . " Lilitth who was being hugged so tightly was not bothered by Sayaka, whose hugs can make any normal little girl cry in pain .

"You hear that Eva, Lilitth-chan is alright with it . "

"Still Saya, we can’t move onto the next attraction if you keep on hugging her . " This time, it was Rachel who intervened .

"Oh fine, I’ll stop, but I want to take pictures with Lilitth-chan and Niki-chan later . "

"If my little sister is alright with it, of course you can have a picture with her . " Niel informed Sayaka the he was okay with his little sister taking pictures .

"It’s alright Sayaka let’s take a bunch of pictures together . " Niki as usual was acting as cute as possible, which made it extremely hard for Sayaka to stop herself from running towards her .

When Sayaka’s shenanigans was over the group alongside Evangeline headed towards the next attraction . The crowd that gathered saw that the show was over, wanted to follow Alex’s group to see if they’ll do something more, but decided not to in the end . Since that sounds like they were stalkers .

. . .

While walking in the amusement park, Alex who was holding the huge bear stuff toy was having difficulty holding Lilitth’s hand as well . Rachel who noticed this, quickly took action .

"Hey Lilitth, it seems like your onii-sama is having a hard time . You can hold my hand instead . " When she heard what Rachel said, Lilitth finally noticed that her brother was having a bit of a tough time .

"Okay Rachel nee-san . " Lilitth let go of Alex’s hand and held Rachel’s . Evangeline finally took notice of what Rachel did . Not only was she able to get Lilitth to hold her hand, she was now called Rachel nee-san . She upgraded from being called Rachel, to Rachel nee-san, while she was still Evangeline .

"Lilitth do you want some cotton candy?" Evangeline was now walking at Lilitth’s left side, while Rachel held Lilitth’s right hand .

"Cotton Candy? What’s that?" When the group heard this they all thought the same thing . Lilitth like her brother seems like she had little common sense as well . Though it was more understandable for Lilitth who is still a grade schooler, unlike Alex who was sixteen .

Evangeline on the other hand had a different take . She knew that Lilitth was an artificially made human, so she was sure that she hasn’t experience a lot of things .

"Cotton candy is a form of spun sugar . It’s super sweet, I know you’ll love it . . . Wait here guys I’ll go get some . " Without waiting for an answer, Evangeline went to find cotton candy and bought two . When she returned to the group she handed one to Niki then Lilitth .

"Thank you Evangeline-san . " Niki’s impression of Evangeline was getting higher and higher . If her evaluation goes higher at this rate, Niki might actually approve of Evangeline being with her Nii-nii . . . Well might just might . . .

Lilitth who also received some cotton candy took a bite . The taste was an ocean of sweetness, which surprised her . Ever since she started living in the mansion of the Samaritas, Lilitth has tasted numerous dishes, but this was the first time she tasted something like this . It was so fluffy like eating a cloud .

"How is it?" Evangeline who saw Lilitth’s blissful reaction already knew the answer, but she wanted to hear Lilitth say it out loud so Rachel could hear it too .

Lilitth who was having so much fun answered Evangeline in joy . "It’s delicious, thank you Evangeline nee-san . "

Hearing what Lilitth said, Rachel felt like this kid was too easy to please, still seeing herself enjoy the cotton candy so much made Rachel’s heart feel warm . At this moment it didn’t matter that it was Evangeline who gave her the cotton candy, all that matters was Lilitth was having fun .

Evangeline on the other hand was having mixed emotions . She knew that Alex truly treated Lilitth as a little sister, and Lilitth herself was a good adorable little girl . . . But she couldn’t forget the detail, that she was an artificial human . Still seeing Lilitth enjoy everything so much, Evangeline did genuinely feel happy for her .

. . .

From the distance around four kilometers away somebody was looking at Alex’s group using the scope of his sniper rifle . He was watching on top of a high rise building . The man in question was wearing a normal white T-shirt and jogging pants . He was smoking a cigarette as he looked at the scope every now and then . The man looked to be around thirty something years old .

This was Alex’s long range weapon instructor Kyle Hunt . He was also the older brother of Emily Hunt .

"Commander Carlo, Alex is still in the amusement park with Lilitth . It doesn’t look like he knows anything about the operation . "

"Just keep on watching him . You know Alex, he tends to surprised people . " Carlo who was on the other end of the line responded .

"Copy that . " Kyle then continued to look at Alex’s group in the distance .
