Adopted Soldier 106 The arcade

When the group left Lilitth's school, Niki casually asked if she could join them in going to the arcade. She even did her signature cutesy move the upward look with a tiny bit of tears in the eyes. Of course Oliver wasn't really affected by this, and he didn't really need her to do this. Oliver who wanted more people to join them agreed almost instantly, but asked Niki to inform her brother and parents first. After that brief stop over, the group headed towards the arcade.

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.
