Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 161 - 159: An Interesting Fellow

Alex was looking at Leon speechless, just as he sat down, he started acting as if they were bosom friends.

''Hahaha, Alex well done, ignoring that bastard when he tried to act arrogantly was the best. He's always been like that, acting as if he is some kind of chosen. It makes me sick.'' 

''You seem to not like him,'' Alex said. 

''Indeed, I don't like him but you, you are different even if we don't know each other, the moment I saw you I knew that you and I will get along well, I trust my instinct. It's why I approached you, I want to become a friend with you. Can we become friends?" Leon straightforwardly said that.

Alex was surprised by Leon's straightforwardness. Truth be told he also the same thing, Leon held no malice, unlike Damien. 

''Well, we can I do not mind.'' 

Hearing Alex's response, Leon laughed joyfully while slapping him on the shoulder repeatedly. 

'Strong.' 

It was Alex's evaluation after being slapped by Leon, even though the latter held back, it still hurts a little. 

''Hahaha, that's how a real man should act. From now on we friends. As a friend I give you a piece of advice, do not take Damien lightly, I do not know what you did but he holds malice toward you. You should be careful when dealing with him.'' Leon warned. 

''Thank you, Leon. I appreciate your advice.'' Alex thanked Leon while thinking, 'This fellow is pretty sharp.' 

''Hahaha, no need for thanks, as a friend it's the least I can do.'' Leon laughed as if what he said was not a big deal, for him what he said did not deserve a thank you as he only gave his friend a piece of advice.

Alex couldn't help but shake his head hearing Leon's answer. 'This fellow is sure interesting and unique.'

''Big brother, what Big brother Leon said, is that true?" Gracier suddenly asked because she was too focused on how to escape from Sakuya clutch she had not noticed anything. 

''Big brother Leon?" Leon was surprised to be suddenly called like that. He smiled, he was happy to be called big brother, it reminds him of his little sister back home.

Shaking his head Leon observed Gracier, the first impression Gracier gave others was like a harmless animal in the need of protection, you would want to protect her, Leon was not an exception, he also feels like protecting this cute little animal.

Unaware of what Leon was currently thinking, Alex decided to answer his sister's question.

''Well, it's true.'' 

''Why?" Gracier asked not understanding why Damien would hold malice toward her brother as they had never seen each other before, tonight was their first time meeting each other.

''I don't even know why,'' Alex said he was clueless about why Damien think of him as an enemy.

Alex stayed silent and went into contemplation, even after some time he was not able to find any reason for Damien's unusual behavior, when he was about to drop the matter and think about it later he heard Leon's question that made his eyes widened.

''Isn't it because of a girl?" 

''A girl? What girl are you talking about?" Alex asked him while searching in his mind about any possible girl that may be the cause of Damien's behavior. 

Gracier was also interested in the answer Leon would give. 

Scratching his head, Leon explained.

''At first, I haven't thought deeply into it, however, after analyzing for a while I concluded that Damien's behavior was due to a woman. I'm good at observing people you see, when you're talking with your former classmates, that girl Luna was sneaking peek at you. The atmosphere around you two was as if there's an inexplicable bond between you. I don't know what relationship you two have but I guess that Damien noticed it and became furious because he is trying to court Luna, maybe he felt threatened especially when his demand got refused.''

Facing Leon's analysis, Alex thought it makes sense, this should explain Damien's hostility toward him. How unexpected. This Leon was sure interesting, he managed to understand the reason why Damien became hostile toward Alex.

''I see, what you said makes sense, however, Luna and I are just classmates nothing more.''

Alex explained, saying there's nothing between him and Luna. Sure, Luna was beautiful but the one he was interested in more at the moment was Maria, he wants her, this feeling did not just spout, since the day they reincarnated he felt attracted to her, he had decided to make Maria his, as for other two he was not sure how Maria would react so he was planning to not make a move, at least not now as Maria come first.

While was lost in thought Gracier and Silveria who hadn't spoken a word since the start, started talking to each other. Leon was astonished by this scene, for him Silveria was aloof when dealing with others, however, currently, she looks like a benevolent sister.

'Alex's sister must be talented to be able to make such a proud Master willingly take her as her sister. How interesting, as expected of my friend, he is not simple, neither his sister. The eye patch they are both wearing are not simply, they must be hiding something because it's impossible for two individuals to have the same injury, it is too much of a coincidence, so those eye patches must be used to conceal something. I wonder what's their history, an otherworlder adopting a half-elf as his sister. I will know in the future only if Alex chooses to tell me, I won't pry into what he went through since he came into our world. It will be disrespectful toward him, he's my friend.'

Leon suddenly remembered Alex's words where he said that there was nothing between Luna and him. 'Hahaha, Alex, my friend you forget to add at least now because I have the feeling that it will change soon. My instinct has never failed me.' 

He decided to tease Alex. 

''Alex, my friend you said there is nothing between you two, am I right?" 

Even though he was surprised by this sudden question, Alex chose to answer. 

''Indeed, you're right.'' 

''Then you forget to add something.'' 

''I'm all ears.'' 

Laughing Leon said, ''You forgot to add, 'there is nothing between us at least now'.'' 

Alex was dumbfounded by Leon's words, he couldn't help but smile thinking how wild Leon's imagination was. 

Seeing Alex's skeptical look, Leon added, 

''Well, believe me, it will change in the future, not now but I'm sure it will in the future you'll become more than just classmates. If you don't believe me why not make a bet?" 

''A bet? What kind of bet?'' Alex asked, he was interested in what kind of bet Leon would propose. 

''It's like this, if you start going out with Luna it will be my win, you will own me a fight, a fight where you go all out.'' 

''Interesting, I accept, and what if you lose, if I don't get in a couple with Luna?" Alex asked not hiding his smile, he was sure of his victory.

Likely sure of his victory, Leon said, ''If I lose let's see.'' 

While saying so, Leon brought out a Black armor from his space ring. 

''I'll give this armor. By the way, it's called Loki.'' Leon informed him. 

'Loki? Like the Norse god? If he remembers correctly, Loki is the god of chaos and mischief. It seems that he's particularly fond of shapeshifting and could take any shape that he wanted. So, why this armor is named after him, because it can shapeshift?' Alex wondered. 

The moment the black armor appeared a powerful force burst from within it startling the whole hall. 

''Interesting armor,'' Silveria said as she observed the armor. 

''Eh? Isn't the famous armor Loki? One of the national treasures of the Lionheart Empire? Why Crown Prince Leon bring the armor out?'' someone asked. 

''How should I know? I don't know what they are talking about for him to bring out an SS Rank treasure, a relic.'' another one said. 

Everybody was curious about Leon's action. Even Katherina was not an exception, Leonardo was about to erupt. 

'It's him again. Damn it, why everybody is looking at him while normally all their stares should be directed at me? Why? Why did you come back? Why are you trying to act cool by wearing an eye patch? You should have stayed in that village where you was, this is my stage, nobody has the right to snatch it from me.' 

Leonardo was so furious that unconsciously he started releasing a small amount of golden lightning. It seemed that he had acquired another element, Alex was not the only one how have evolved.

Camilla noticed Leonardo's state, she quickly calmed him. 

''Hubby, calm down. Now is not the time to deal with him, soon you'll show him, the difference between you two. Until then bear it.'' 

Camilla's words seemed to have worked because Leonardo managed to calm down.

''Thank you Camilla I'm now calm. I wonder why the Crown prince-" 

As if she knew what her man was about to say, Camilla cut him mid-sentence and said. Her expression at the moment was malicious. 

''Doesn't matter. If he gifts Alex that armor it will become yours.'' 

''Indeed.'' 

Thinking about such a scenario, Leonardo couldn't help but smile in anticipation. 

On the other side, Damien's expression sank when he saw the black armor, ''What that brute is up to?" He wondered. 

Kuina was also wondering the same thing while Ferris and Eris decided to approach Alex's table, they were interested in what going on.
