Adopted Soldier

Lilitth felt extremely happy, and once again started to cry for a bit . She doesn’t know how many times she had cried ever since she got here, but to her this tears were evidence of how happy she truly was . She then got out of bed, and proceeded to fix her bed, as if it was something so fragile . After which she headed to the room, of her onii-sama, while walking she was smiling happily .

. . .

Alex woke up at his usual time of three in the morning . He proceeded to check his equipment, after which he started to exercise, and right now he was in the middle of practicing his stances . He then heard a knock on the door, Alex could already guess who it was based on their footsteps .

"Come in . " The door opened and as expected the one who entered was the doll like girl, Alex’s little sister Lilitth Samarita .

"Onii-sama, good morning . I hope I haven’t disturbed you . " Lilitth seeing Alex in a weird pose, asked, since she didn’t want to be an annoyance . She wanted her Onii-sama to like her, so she needed to be a good girl .

Alex didn’t stop his practice, and answered Lilitth . "You’re no bother, I’m just practicing . So do you need anything Lilitth?"

Lilitth who heard his question had her face looking downwards, and she started fidgeting . If any other person so this action, they might have died due to the cuteness, but Alex was different and just found it confusing .

Lilitth kept on hesitating, as she kept on sneaking peeks on Alex, who at this point was still doing his practice . It’s not like Alex didn’t care, but since Lilitth was having difficulty saying it, he didn’t want to force it .

After a few more minutes, Lilitth was finally able to calm down, and spoke . "Onii-sama, will I really be going to school today?"

Last night while they were playing with the maid, Carlo entered the room, and told them that he had made some calls, and Lilitth will be attending the grade school, near Alex’s school . He was even able to immediately procure a uniform that fits Lilitth perfectly .

’So that’s the reason for her hesitation . This girl she truly is like the past me . . . ’ Alex who was still practicing his stances almost broke stance, when he remembered his past self .

"What is it? Don’t you want to go to school? If you want, you can just stay at home and be homeschooled . "

"No that’s not it! . . . I really do want to go to school, I want to be like any other kid . . . Its just that . . . Is it really alright for me to do so? Is it really alright for me to go? You know I’m a we-" Before Lilitth could finish, Alex cut her off .

"Don’t finish that sentence . . . Lilitth tell me do you think of me as family?"

"Of course!" Lilitth replied immediately .

"Then you are like any other kid . You have a home, a family that cares for you, and you are definitely not a weapon . You are Lilitth Samarita, my little sister . How many times must I say it until you accept it? Like our dad said, how can our cute little Lilitth be a weapon? So don’t worry and have fun alright . "

Lilitth really wasn’t used to such warmth, and affection . She almost cried again, but she stopped herself . She instead showed a bright smile to her beloved, kind Onii-sama .

"Thank you Onii-sama, I will go change into my school uniform, and show tou-chan . " Lilitth bowed her head, and merrily skipped towards her room .

Alex then looked at his phone, which had three new messages . The first message was from Rachel, it was message were she keeps on complaining, that she was still not able to go to school . It seem like they extended their family trip, and will be coming home on Sunday morning, so she wouldn’t be able to attend the FPS tournament . The message continues with a bunch more complaints about her father .

The next message was from Eva . She simply wanted to say thank you for rescuing her again . Even though Alex couldn’t remember the first time he rescued her, he simply accepted the thanks . The message continues, with Eva inviting Alex to dinner as a form of compensation . Alex promptly declined, which Eva message back, that she will find a different way to compensate him .

The last message was from Niel, it seem like it was in a group chat . He informed everyone that he hoped everyone was alright, since no one but Kei and himself, came to school yesterday .

Alex found this a bit intriguing, he knew of Rachel, Eva, and even Oliver’s circumstances, but what about Emily and Saya, what were they doing yesterday?

While he was thinking, he heard a scream, and it sounded like his dad . What could possibly make his dad scream like that . Alex ran towards the location of the scream, it was inside Carlo’s study . When Alex entered he saw a bewildering scene .

There was a cute doll like girl wearing a school uniform, a checkered skirt, and a white blouse with a little neck tie with a matching blue blazer . She was in the middle of room, while a middle age man was picturing her with a very expensive looking camera .

Of course the little girl was Lilitth, and the middle age man was the always calm and collected, Carlo . But right now he wasn’t as calm or collected as usual .

"How cute! My daughter you truly are the cutest thing in this world!" Carlo was having fun picturing Lilitth, who seem to be happy that Carlo was happy .
