Chapter 82

Alex had slept for ten hours, it was now dark outside when he woke up . Alex then stood up and did some stretches . He then closed his eyes and tried to feel the current status of his body . As expected even for him, his ribs that were punched will take some time to heal . Alex could only sigh, when he was done checking his body, he finally noticed that there was someone outside his room . He could hear the footsteps going back and forth, and would stop for a second in front of the door, then the person on the other side of the door, after what seems like he or she was hesitating on coming in will continue to pace back and forth again .

The process repeated over and over again . Alex could already guess who was on the other side of the door . Alex opened the door, and as he expected a startled Lilitth was looking at him .

"Umm, ano . . . ah, umm . " Lilitth who was startled, started saying some incomprehensible things, and was fidgeting . Alex who had seen numerous new expression, aside from fear, and anger, had some understanding on what Lilitth was feeling right now . She was most probably feeling, stunned and overwhelmed by the sudden change in her life . She who was a weapon, turned into his little sister, she must be feeling a bit awkward and shy in front of Alex .

Alex felt a bit relieved after seeing her cutesy appearance, different from the emotionless face she had shown back then . Seeing how much difficulty his little sister was having, just to talk to him, made Alex’s ever stoic appearance smile for a bit . He hasn’t notice yet, but for the past few days Alex was showing more emotion than he used to . Especially his smile that was so rare to see before, was now seen every now and then .

Alex started to pat Lilitth’s head, which made Lilitth smile a bit . Gaining her courage from that pat, Lilitth spoke to Alex .

"Onii-sama, thank you for saving me! Thank you for making me your little sister! Thank you for giving me my freedom! Thank you . . . Truly thank you . " Lilitth was trying her hardest not to cry as she spoke to Alex saying her thanks .

’So it’s Onii-sama now I upgraded from Onii-san . ’ Alex knelt bringing himself to the same height as Lilitth . He looked at her eyes, that were barely able to hold her tears, it was even a bit red indicating she was crying before this .

"We’re family now no need for thanks . Also about your freedom, I wasn’t the one who gave that to you . You took it yourself, so there really is no need to thank me, my little sister . " Hearing Alex calling her his little sister, was the final straw, Lilitth couldn’t stop it anymore, and she started crying again .

Alex who saw his little sister crying allowed it to happen naturally . He was already aware that she was on the verge of crying, so he simply gave her a little push . Alex knew from experience that keeping in wasn’t really a good thing . He wanted his little sister to tread a different path from the path he took .

. . .

After a few minutes Lilitth stopped crying and Alex proposed to give her a tour of the mansion . Then he remembered that he himself was clueless about the layout of his own home . Alex could only do one thing now, call someone to guide them .

After Alex called the head butler, a maid appeared before the siblings and smilingly curtsied . Short brown hair, black eyes, diamond shaped face, and the extreme enthusiasm that rivals Saya . This was the same maid that had arranged the gaming library .

"Greetings, young master, Ojou-sama . I will be your guide this evening . " The maid smiled a bit mischievously at the siblings, but with there lack of EQ the siblings couldn’t discern this .

"We’ll be in your care . " Alex spoke, seeing her Onii-sama saying such a thing, Lilitth copied him and said the same thing . "We’ll be in your care . "

"Okay leave it to me . So first thing in the tour is Young Master’s room . This room isn’t just any normal room . This room is soundproof, and is basically like a panic room . The thick metal walls hidden withing the wallpaper is enough to stop even a tank’s shell . " After saying such a thing with some funny gestures, the maid entered the room .

Alex didn’t react much, but Lilitth was really invested in this so called tour . When the maid entered Alex’s room, she turned on the lights, and what was shown sparked Lilitth’s interest . The room was filled with weapons, from knives and swords, to hand guns, and grenades . Alex room looked more like an armory rather than a room one sleeps in .

You couldn’t even see Alex’s bed from all the stuff lying around . Lilitth was super interested in what her Onii-sama’s hobbies were, and as she thought it was something battle related . Still Lilitth’s eyes were shining with curiosity . She had a bit of knowledge about some weaponry since, the people who made her, forced her to learn about weapons, but this was the first time she actually seen them in reality, right in front of her .

"As you can see, the young master’s room, is littered with weapons . He even has a dummy sleeping on his bed, and of course as per usual the young master sleeps under the bed, like some kind of boogeyman . Well that’s all for Young Master’s room, now let’s head to the next room . " The maid, left the room, and headed towards the room beside Alex’s room . Alex of course knows what this room was for . This was the gaming room, where Alex tried to practice playing FPS .

Once they entered the room, Lilitth gasped in amazement, hundred upon hundreds of game titles was surrounding her .

"This is the video gaming room . This is my favorite place in the mansion . I come here every time I have free time . You see these things surrounding you ojou-sama, these are all games . In here you can play with the young master until you’re satisfied . "

She had heard of a library full of books, but this was the first time, she had ever heard or seen of a library full of games . Yet what truly made Lilitth excited was that in this room, the maid said she could play with her onii-sama . She has never played before, but if she could she wanted to play with someone like her onii-sama .
