Chapter 83
The maid seeing the excited face of Lilitth, knew that her plan had work. She also noticed that her young master was having a hard time trying to reply to some of the messages on his phone, but that didn't delay the maid's plan. All she needed was for the little lady Lilitth to be excited.
Alex was replying to all the messages Rachel, and the rest sent him. Rachel was somehow complaining at the same time praising her father. Niel was asking why none of them were at school. Saya simply messaged him some random emojis. Oliver, informed him that he wouldn't be able to attend class today since had an emergency mission. Kei, and Emily didn't message him, which surprised Alex. He could understand Kei not messaging him, but Emily who was a message freak not messaging him, was truly surprising. While Alex was in the middle of messaging back, the maid took the chance and spoke.
"So this ends our little tour, let's go play instead!" The maid cheerfully said, Alex and Lilitth who heard this had two different reactions. Alex was confused as to why the tour should end, while Lilitth was excited at the prospect of playing.
When Alex saw Lilitth's excited face, he shrugged his shoulders. The maid seeing even Alex had given up on the tour, made her smile slyly.
"So the first thing I would recommend playing, is this game. It's a fighting game called Killing Fury." The maid turned on the console, placed the disc inside the console, and handed Alex and Lilitth controllers.
Seeing the design of the controller Alex was quite curious. It didn't have as much buttons as a keyboard, and it fits snuggly in his hands. On the left side, it had arrows pointing up, down, left, and right. On the right side, it had four buttons with labels, A, B, C, and D.
The game had started, unlike the game Perfect Soldier, this game had a lot more options on the title screen.
"Okay then, please pick multiplayer. Let's have you two fight." When Lilitth heard the word fight she reacted in a frantic manner.
"I don't want to fight Onii-sama anymore! Please don't let me fight Onii-sama!" Even though Lilitth could somehow understand, that the maid was most probably referring to the game, but Lilitth couldn't respond properly due to the recent fight she had was still fresh in her memory.
Alex knowing about his little sister's dilemma, patted her head."It's alright, it's just a game. Let's play it and have a bit of fun." Hearing her Onii-sama's assurance, Lilitth felt relieved. The two siblings then proceeded to play the game.
Of course before they started, the maid explained how the game is played.
"The game is a fighting game, each player chooses a character that they want to use, and selects it. The objective of the game is to knock out the other player's character. The directional buttons on the left side of the controller, moves the character to the direction the arrow is pointing at. The buttons on the right controls the four limbs of the character. Inputing a certain sequence of buttons will allow the character chosen to do specific moves, and even special moves."
When Alex heard the maid's explanation, he thought the game was simple enough. So then after the two had picked their characters, the game started.
Both Alex and Lilitth first checked the controls. So they started moving their characters, by pressing all the buttons. When they understood what each button does, the two started attacking each other. The maid had failed to explain that moving backwards makes the character block the attacks, but after some trial and error, the siblings figured it out by themselves.
Both Alex, and Lilitth had higher than average intelligence. So the two had immediately noticed that the first one to figure out the combos, and the way to use the special moves would be the winner in the end.
Yet because of the time limit of each match the two didn't have a K. O win and Alex won by default. So now seeing the two sibling, were super invested on the game, it made the maid giggle. Now she had two others interested in this game. She can even make her ojou-sama Lilitth play with her every now and then.
Alex didn't like losing, so he was fully focused on learning the best combos for the character he had chosen. Of course he had chosen the same character, as he was fully intending on mastering this character.
Lilitth on the other hand picked a different character, she also wanted to win, but not as much as Alex. To her the experience of playing was already fun by itself, winning was just secondary.
The next match began, both Alex and Lilitth had finally look like they sorta understand the game. The maid who was watching was shocked by the sudden improvement of the two. This time the two had pulled off a bunch of decent combos. Still even in this match Alex won, and the next match ensued.
In this match Lilitth had finally won one round but still lost the match. Alex and Lilitth were both having fun but for different reasons. Alex then finally understood that the best way to win, was to juggle the opponent's character upwards, without making it fall. Lilitth also came to the same conclusion.
Now after four matches the two actually looked like pros, as they alternate between defending and doing a continuous combo. Alex had made a mistake, and Lilitth was able to recover, seeing her chance after Alex broke his combo, Lilitth then proceeded to make Alex's character fly upwards. She then kept on attacking, without making Alex's character fall, unable to recover, Alex finally lost a match.
"YAY!" Lilitth got excited and raised both her arms in the air. Alex seeing that his little sister was having fun, didn't mind that he lost, and the two continued playing.
The maid who had witness the siblings rapid rate of improvement as they played, had her mouth wide open. 'Seriously what's with this pair of siblings. '
