Chapter 9: CHAPTER 9 – Talk with Alice 2.

"That is because I am not your brother." His words were simple, but they shocked Alice.

"I have his ability and it\'s strong, I would not deny that, but did I say that I am strong because of his skill? I have abilities that are stronger than his skill, that is why my body is stronger and that is also why I am still alive with his powers."

With Alex\'s explanation, Alice also remembered that he didn\'t use her brother\'s power to control her flames, it was a different skill.

She again raised his power evaluation in her mind not realizing that she was already thinking of him as the strongest while forgetting about her brother.

It might be because of the Incubus\' aura that makes people comfortable around him but after realizing that he was not her enemy she started thinking of ways to befriend him.

With his powers and looks that were even better than her brother\'s, there might even be a chance of them getting together.

"Can I go back now?" When she realized that both of them had been silent for a while, she asked in a low voice as she was getting a little nervous now.

She could see that he was observing her and that only made her more nervous, she was not ready to do something like that, at least not for now.

That too when she just had a positive image of his, she wanted them to at least like each other before they did something. She blushed hard thinking that she might not reject him at that time...

"No." His words caused her to become more nervous, and she only increased when he continued, "I want you to do something for me."

"W-what d-do you want?" She said while hugging her body with her hands, but she became embarrassed when she saw him giving her a blank stare.

"I won\'t do that, at least not until you want me to." When he said the first line, she relaxed a little but hearing the latter part she became very embarrassed and hung her head down.

"What do you want me to do?" She asked after she regained her bearing. She felt that it would not be bad to help someone as strong as him since it was rare for someone like that to ask for help.

"I want you to register me in your guild." He said simply, as he needed to enter either the Raider Association or guilds if he wanted to enter Gates.

He could just sneak in the Gates, but he didn\'t want to do that for now. So, he thought it would be better to join her guild rather than someone he didn\'t know and he had already thought of making her his woman, so, it was even better.

Alice also thought of something similar, she thought that maybe he was trying to court her by joining her guild.

She knew he was stronger than her and there was no way he could not open his own guild after he was announced as an S-rank Raider. But he was still asking her to register him in her guild, somehow, she started feeling butterflies in her stomach.

Her only wish is to make her guild the strongest in the world and she somehow felt that the man in front of her was someone who could make it possible.

"You won\'t?" Hearing his question, she realized that she had been in her thoughts for a long time and didn\'t reply to him causing him to assume that she didn\'t want him in her guild. So, she hurriedly replied.

"No, I mean, Yes, I will register you at our guild." After Alex nodded his head, she continued.

"You have yet to register as an S-ranked Raider, right?" She asked.

"Yes, I was thinking of doing that tomorrow," Alex replied as he was going to get himself registered as a Raider in the Raider Association.

"I will come with you. Take my number and call me when you are ready." She said while pointing at her phone that had been in Alex\'s hand till now.

Alex nodded, saved her number, and then gave the phone back to her.

"Can I go back now? I haven\'t contacted my guild members till now and they must be getting worried." She asked since she had told her friend that she would call her in an hour, and it had been much more than that.

"Yes, you can go now. But keep my identity a secret." Alex reminded her and she nodded while getting from the bed and moving to the gate.

"I will see you tomorrow," Alice said with a small smile, but she stopped when she heard his next words.

"I am Alex, Alice. But remember well that I am not your brother anymore." Even though she wanted to say that she already knew that, she just nodded her head and left the room.

It was only when she was out of the room and away from him that she started feeling that her brother had really died. The one she knew from childhood and the only one she knew had died.

When she was sitting with Alex, she felt so relaxed that she had forgotten about this. So, she leaned on the wall and started sobbing.

Alex who was observing Alice with his skill sighed, came out of his room, and moved towards Alice, he couldn\'t bear to see her cry like that.

When Alice saw Alex moving towards her, she was surprised and tried to stop her tears but she became even more surprised when he came to her and hugged her, she also became nervous as even if it felt good, she thought that it was too fast.

"Even if he is dead, I am here and I will always be here for you. So, you can cry, I will not laugh at you." It was when she heard his words and felt her back being patted that she understood that he didn\'t have any bad intentions, he was just trying to be nice to her.

When she heard his words, the tears that she had been trying to stop flowed out like a dam and she cried for a long time.

By the time she had stopped crying, she had realized that without her knowing she had sat on his lap while leaning on his chest and he was sitting with his back on the wall.

She became very embarrassed, thinking what she had done, but then she noticed that someone had crossed them even without looking at them.

She had not activated her disguise right now, and more than that she knew that no one could ignore Alex as he looked out of the world just with his face alone.

She looked at Alex\'s face only to realize that her face was just some centimeters away from him, causing her to look down with a blush filling her face.

However, she understood that Alex also had some kind of stealth skill or something like that, which was also rare. He gave her a surprise by his powers again.

"U-um," she said in a low voice.

"Yes?" Alex asked looking at her, who was trembling on his lap like a timid hare.

"C-can I go?" She asked in a low voice, still embarrassed.

"You are the one holding me, I never stopped you." His words caused her embarrassment to reach the peak.

She hurriedly got up and ran away at full speed, not even looking at Alex who was chuckling while looking at her running away.
