Chapter 104 Invitation to have fun (1/2)

The following day after the bet, Alex as well as Carlo headed towards Niel's house early in the morning. Lilitth who already heard that her Onii-sama was able to save the lives of the Amamamis, was very happy, so as she saw her onii-sama coming, she charged in and hugged him.

Carlo whose arms were wide open ready to receive his daughter's loving hug, was stunned as Lilitth passed him by. He simply stood there his arms wide open like a statue.

”Thank you Onii-sama!” Lilitth continued to hug Alex. Carlo on the other hand, slowly turned around and looked at Lilitth, hugging Alex.

Why is it you? Why is it you that gets a hug? Isn't that suppose to be for me? Carlo couldn't stop himself from thinking such things, as he enviously look at Alex being showered with affection by Lilitth.

”My daughter, how about me? Where's my hug? Why don't you hug your tou-chan.” Carlo desperately looked at his daughter.

Lilitth really wanted to appease her tou-chan, but due to recent events, she wanted to punish him a bit as well. She knew that her tou-chan likes it when she hugs him, so this was the perfect punishment for him.

Yet when Lilitth looked at her tou-chan's pouting face, she wanted to give in and simply hug him. It was then when Lilitth had this thought Alex spoke.

”Why are you pouting like that? It's your fault for being so obstinate yesterday.” When Carlo heard what Alex said, he suddenly knelt on the floor in a daze.

Seeing her tou-chan like this, Lilitth felt a bit relieved, the tou-chan she saw yesterday really frightened her. So seeing her clumsy tou-chan was back to normal, made Lilitth feel that it's alright now. So she let go of Alex and slowly approached her tou-chan.

Carlo slowly lifted his head and looked at his daughter. ”Lilitth?”

”Tou-chan I really didn't like how tou-chan acted yesterday... But tou-chan did that for me, so even though I don't approve, I understand. You're only looking out for my best interest, but I really think you overreacted yesterday tou-chan. So if tou-chan apologizes, Lilitth will forgive you.” Hearing what Lilitth said, Carlo without hesitation bowed his head.

”I APOLOGIZE PLEASE FORGIVE ME!” Carlo loudly declared, which shocked Niki and her family who were watching.

”That's a quick, turnaround.” Alex said with his usual indifference.

”I already lost, so why should I cling to such tiny pride. I only want Lilitth to hug me.” Carlo without lifting his head answered Alex.

Lilitth started to panic seeing her tou-chan's reaction. She couldn't help but go near him, and tried to lift his head, which Carlo resisted.

”I wont lift my head until you forgive me.” Carlo as usual was being extremely stubborn, well he the messenger of death only acted this way in front of his children.

”I forgive you already, please lift your head tou-chan.” The moment she said those lines, Carlo stood up, and hugged his daughter.

”Yay! I have been forgiven. Okay now for some hugs!”

...

Once the embarrassing hugging scene was done, Alex and Niel escorted their little sisters to school. For some unknown reason Niki kept on looking at Alex, as if she was scrutinizing him. Once the two had properly escorted their little sisters, the two headed towards their own school.
