Alex was going to play the same game Oliver showed him, but before he could place the tokens in, someone started tugging at his shirt. When he looked he saw that it was his little sister Lilitth, who was tugging while looking at him, her eyes were saying that she wanted to say something.

”What is it Lilitth?”

”Umm, Onii-sama can I play with you?”

”Hmm you can, but what about your friend? Don't you need to accompany her?” Alex looked at Niki who was beside Lilitth.

Noticing the attention shifted to her, Niki smiled elegantly as she looked at Alex. ”Do not worry about me Lilitth's onii-sama, I am content to just watching you two play.”

”Oh right I forgot about something... I'm sorry due to the excitement awhile ago, I haven't introduced myself properly. I am Lilitth's older brother Alexander, but you can call me Alex. Thank you for being friends with Lilitth.” Even though he was saying such things, Alex's expression remained stoic, his voice as well remained indifferent. The content of what he said and his facial expression as well as his tone of voice doesn't match, which made Niki a bit perplexed.

Niki who was stunned for a second, regained her senses and curtsied. ”Nice to meet you Alex. I am Niki Rayheart, I as well am sorry for the late introductions.” As Niki was surprised by Alex's indifference, Alex was surprised by Niki's mannerism that wasn't like any child he had seen.

Once Niki was done introducing herself to Alex, Oliver and Kei went near to see what the commotion was about. When they heard Alex's explanation, the two were a bit embarrassed that they actually forgot to introduce themselves to Niki.

Once Kei and Oliver were done introducing themselves, Niki did the same thing twice. It was after this, Kei who was really embarrassed stood in front of Lilitth, who tilted her head in confusion.

”Um, I'm sorry I haven't introduced myself to you. I'm Kei Kaido, a clubmate of your brother. It's a pleasure to meet you.” Kei who was flustered after talking to Niel's cute little sister, had remembered that he hasn't introduced himself to Lilitth as well. So while flustered he bowed his head and extended his right hand forward, It now looked like he was asking for a handshake or something similar.

Lilitth who saw Kei's flustered reaction, found it funny and started giggling. Kei who had his head bowed, looked at Lilitth who had started to giggle. When he saw the giggling Lilitth, he found it so cute. Actually it was not just him who found it absolutely cute, the surrounding people who were playing in the arcade got distracted by Lilitth's giggling and looked at her.

When they saw the doll like girl giggling, the people wether they be boy or girl, were entranced by Lilitth. Niki who saw the reaction of the people smiled happily.

'As expected of my friend, she was able to captivate everyone here with just her laugh. Still I bet I could do it better, but she really isn't that bad.' Niki even in this situation was comparing her cuteness to Lilitth's cuteness.

Lilitth unaware that people were staring at her, took Kei's hand and shook it. ”I'm Lilitth Samarita, Alexander Samarita's little sister. Thank you for being friends with onii-sama.”

Kei lifted his head, and stared at the little girl who looked like an exquisite doll, but now in his eyes Lilitth turned into a little angel somehow. Some people wanted to approach Lilitth, after seeing her amazingly cute smile.

When Alex noticed the approaching people, he sent them away by glaring at them and sending out his bloodlust. The people who saw Alex's glare felt all the hair in their body stand up. It was their primal instinct that told them, if they get near they will die. In the end no one was brave enough to approach the danger zone.

”Okay now that our introductions are over. Can we start playing?” When Kei heard what Alex said, he finally noticed that he was still holding Lilitth's hand, which he immediately let go off.

”Oh right, I'll just be going over there playing the new fighting game.” Kei retreated immediately out of embarrassment.

”Oh right I need to return to my position and secure the top score.” Oliver went to a different shooting game, aiming for the top score.

”Um, so onii-sama can I play with you?” Remembering that Alex hasn't answered her, Lilitth asked him again.

”If it's alright with Niki, I'm fine with it as well.” Alex looked at Niki waiting for her answer.

”Like I said before, please don't mind me. I just want to watch you two play.” Alex nodded at Niki when he heard that she hasn't changed her answer.

When the two siblings got in front of the game they finally noticed that Lilitth was too short to point the gun at the screen, so Alex took one of the stools in front of a different game that no one seems to be using and placed it in front of the game he was going to play.

”Here Lilitth use this.” Lilitth stood on the stool and was now able to point the fake gun at the screen. Alex inserted the tokens for both of them. When the game started they chose the co-op option of the game.

The two did the same thing as Oliver and skipped the games cut scene. When the terrorist appeared, Alex reflexively shot them all with extreme precision. Lilitth who was watching Oliver do it, tried copying the way he was shooting but it resulted in shots being missed.

When it was time to reload, Alex with his years of training automatically registered the gun in his hands a peacemaker so he reflexively tried to reload it, the same way as he would reload an actual peacemaker. While he was doing this, he was doing some evasive action as if he was truly being fired by real guns.

When he finally got a hold of himself, and remembered that this was a game it was too late. Lilitth who was inexperienced with holding a gun both in game and real life was useless. So in the end the sibling got to see the game over screen only a few seconds after the game started.
