Chapter 162
After Rachel finally finished talking with Sayaka who was of no help whatsoever . That best friend of hers didn’t even give on good advice . She just kept on pushing her to do sothing with Alex . What kind of best friend does that?
Rachel sighed as she looked around her room . Talking with Sayaka took so much ti, and led to nothing . Now she needed to clean up her room, while Alex was still waiting patiently outside . The first thing Rachel did was take all the underwear she had scattered all over the room, and placed them in a laundry basket .
Next thing she needed to do was get her diary and hide it soplace Alex wont accidentally see . Rachel then rembered all the magazines she was reading about how to get your boyfriend to listen to you . She needed to hid those as well .
. . .
Alex who was done talking with the head butler, was waiting outside of Rachel’s room . Noticing It was taking Rachel quite so ti to do what she needed to do . Alex knocked on the door to check up on her .
"Rachel is everything all right?"
"Yeah, everything is good . Don’t peek okay, I just have to do sothing before you can enter . It will just take a few more minutes . "
Alex didn’t ask anything anymore and continued to wait for Rachel to finish whatever she was doing . kumiko and her three sons were watching everything unfold while they peek from the room across Rachel’s, the four of them sighed at how nothing was happening even now .
Alex obviously noticed the four of them watching him, but wasn’t bothered by it since he knows that this was their house, and this might be sothing they usually do .
While waiting Alex received another call, and this ti it was from Emily .
"What is it Emily, did sothing else happen?"
"Yeah sothing happened . "
"What? Give a full report . "
"You are actually sleeping in Rachel’s house! That’s what’s happening! Who knew you had it in you Alex . "
"What are you talking about Emily? Are you actually just reporting to what I’m doing? Is that it?"
"No there’s more, Lilitth wants to talk to you . " Emily handed her phone to Lilitth, who was looking a bit sad .
"Onii-sama are you really not coming ho anymore? Are you really going to stay there with Rachel-nee-san forever?" Lilitth sounded distressed while she said this, which confused Alex .
"Huh? Who told you I’m staying here forever? I’m just staying the night so that I could protect Rachel, seeing that soone might attack again . I’m coming back ho tomorrow . "
"Really? You’re not lying to are you?"
"Why would I lie? Also have you ever heard lie to you before, Lilitth?" When Alex said this, he heard Lilitth screaming at Emily telling her that Emily was a anie .
. . .
While Alex was trying to calm Lilitth down, Sayaka who was in her room felt surprised and relieved . After she told Alex about Rachel’s situation, she too wanted to go to where Rachel was, but her father didn’t allow it, saying .
"If Alex is already going, there is no need for you to go . Tell my daughter, if you went, will it change anything? or will you just get in the way of Alex? Let remind you, we are assassins . Direct confrontations isn’t our forte . If you went and joined that kind of lee, that’s happening out in the open, you wont be as effective as normal, making you another target to be protected . Is that what you want?"
Sayaka wasn’t able to answer her father after he said that . So she reluctantly stayed ho, waiting for so news .
It didn’t even take an hour for Rachel to call her telling her everything was good, and now Alex was actually going to sleep in her room . Most likely Alex wanted to sleep in the sa room, so he could better protect Rachel . Still even though Sayaka could easily guess this, it was still enjoyable to tease her best friend about it .
Sayaka who had just teasing Rachel on the phone was now laying in her bed, thinking about how useless she was in this situation . She had the ability to protect herself, but not her best friend . She might be better than most kids her age in the art of battle, but in face of sothing like what happened awhile, she was just another cannon fodder .
Assassins weren’t really people that are ant to protect . So protecting Rachel with her skill set was obviously not going to work, she knew that, but it was still frustrating .
’I didn’t really want to be an assassin, it was just a family thing . . . But now when I thought I would be able to use my skills for sothing I wanted to do, it turned out it was useless . I just wasn’t good enough . This kind of thing might happen again and the next ti I don’t want to say I wasn’t good enough . I want to be able to do sothing . . . I guess I need to resolve myself for what’s to co . ’
Sayaka who hated her family business had now decided to truly master the art of assassination of her family . Sayaka stood up and exited her room .
"Father, teach the ways of the shadow . " Without making even the slightest sound Sayaka’s father appeared beside her . To anyone else they might’ve jumped in fright, but Sayaka was already used to it .
"I knew you would say that . As the next successor of the na ’Shadow’ you were always ant to learn the techniques . I will train you and once you succeed in the final test you will be given the na ’Shadow’ . Are you ready for this Sayaka?"
"I am ready . "
. . .
As Sayaka was experiencing a life changing event . Emily too was about to make a life changing decision . It was whether to tell Evangeline that Alex was going to sleep in Rachel’s room, or not . If she told Evangeline about it a fun event might start, but it could also ruin sothing precious, or it might not . Basically it could go either way . If she doesn’t tell her one way or another Evangeline will eventually find out, and by that ti Emily might not be able to control the situation .
"To tell or not to tell that is the question"
