Chapter 129
When Alex and Emily got home they were greeted by a cutely dressed Lilitth . She was wearing a very cute purple cat eared pajamas which match the color of her hair and eyes . She was already pretty eye catching, but now with her pajamas her cuteness doubled, making her even more eye catching . Lilitth who was wearing cat pajamas jumped at Alex who caught her in his arms .
"Onii-sama welcome home . " Lilitth happily greeted Alex, while looking upwards at him wearing a cute cat pajamas, any other person might have already have a nose bleed by the sheer cuteness they saw, but not Alex . He simply acknowledged Lilitth"s existence with a nod .
"How about me Lilitth ojou-chan? Aren"t you going to greet me?" Emily who saw Lilitth hug and greet Alex felt a little left out . Lilitth who finally noticed Emily"s presence let go of Alex and did a little curtsy as she greeted Emily .
"Welcome home Emily nee-san . " The moment Emily heard Lilitth and saw her little curtsy, it felt like Emily"s heart would explode . Emily couldn"t stop herself and hugged Lilitth .
Seeing the slightly bigger Emily who was wearing a gothic lolita dress hug Lilitth who was wearing cat eared pajamas was the cutest thing ever, but unfortunately the only one to witness this scene was Alex . Who in his eyes saw the scene as wasn"t really anything special .
"So Lilitth what happened to dad?"
Lilitth who was being tightly hugged by Emily answered without breaking free . "Tou-chan went to his room and edited the pictures we took today . "
"Pictures?"
"Yeah me and tou-chan took lots of pictures today . We went out and tou-chan bought me dozens of dresses! We took a lot of pictures with me and tou-chan in different attires . So when we got home tou-chan immediately locked himself in his study and said he needed to edit the pictures and create a holy alb.u.m of some sort . "
When Alex heard what Lilitth said, he almost face palmed . What had happened to his dad? Is this the result of staying away from the battlefield for so long? His dad turned into something he couldn"t understand . What happened to the person who was always the voice of reason and logic?
While Alex was questioning what was happening to his dad, Emily stopped hugging Lilitth .
"Hey Lilitth ojou-chan me and your onii-sama are going to watch some anime . Want to watch with us?"
"Anime? I don"t know what that is, but if onii-sama and Emily nee-san are watching then I want to watch as well . "
"Good then, let"s get going! Onward towards the audio visual room . " Emily who heard Lilitth"s answer didn"t wait for anymore confirmation and dragged the two siblings towards the audio visual room .
. . .
Emily had a better understanding of the mansions layout than Alex or Lilitth, since she does clean the different rooms of the mansion . With Emily guiding them, Alex and Lilitth were able to get to the audio visual room using the shortest route .
When the three entered the room, the two siblings were amazed at what they saw . The room was bigger than Alex and Lilitth"s rooms combined . In the middle of the room the seats were positioned escalating upwards . The seats were surrounded by six speakers, and in the front was a huge 110-inch Ultra HDTV .
"We"re going to watch here, you two seat anywhere you want . I will set the anime we"re going to watch . Magical girl Harurun!"
Emily excitedly started to set up, while the two siblings got a bit overwhelmed by her enthusiasm . Alex and Lilitth sat on the middle seats, and waited for Emily to finish setting everything up . Lilitth in this period of time, kept on glancing at Alex .
"Do you want to say something Lilitth?" Alex had obviously noticed Lilitth"s glances, and her hesitation to say something .
"Umm onii-sama . . . Did you win the tournament?"
"That"s an affirmative, victory was achieved thanks to Emily . " Alex who thought that Lilitth was going to say something else, was surprised by her simple question .
"Congratulations onii-sama! I know Emily nee-san would"ve done well base on her skills alone, but I"m sure onii-sama was needed to win as well . "
"Thank you, but it"s the truth that Emily"s technical skills are better than mine . " Alex wasn"t bothered in giving Emily all the credit, since she was the better player between the two .
. . .
While the two siblings were having their conversation about the tournament, Emily who was preparing was formulating a plan in her head .
"I need to slowly ease Alex, and Lilitth ojou-chan into the word of anime . If they see too much, they might be repulsed instead . So it"s a good thing we start with this very light, very easy to understand magical girl genre . Magical Girl Harurun has been around even before I became a merc, and it"s one of the animes I myself first watched . This was my gateway to the anime world, so I"m pretty sure that this could be Alex and Lilitth ojou-chan"s gateway as well . "
Emily who was getting excited by showing the show to the two siblings was speeding up her work .
"Still, what if they might not actually like this? I need to prepare a back up? Alex would most probably be entertained by a war related anime, while Lilitth ojou-chan could like light hearted story lines . . . Okay a fantasy genre it is! I guess if this fails I can just show them a fantasy anime . I"m the demon lord but I died and now I"m the hero"s best friend is quite good . Though the tone sometimes s.h.i.+fts to happy go lucky to tragic and back to happy go lucky . Though the tragic events happen during the second season . . . I guess I should only show them the first season . "
When Emily was done preparing her back up as well as setting up, she went in front of the TV . Emily briefly introduced the anime, before pressing the play b.u.t.ton on the remote .
"Now let"s watch Magical Girl Harurun . "
As Emily started the show, she was unaware at this point what childhood crus.h.i.+ng events would occur .
