147 A Game Changer
Does anyone here play Guild Wars 2? if so, tell me, I need a playing partner.
----------------------------------
In the waiting room, Alexander, Erina, and Alice entered to see a lot of people inside. Alexander saw his grandparents, mother who was kneeling on the floor with his father, uncle and Rindo's parents, also some of their servants were there too.
"Grandmama!" Alexander smiled and opened his arms and went for a hug "It good to see you again!" Amanda raised her can and put it on Alexander's forehead and stopped in his track.
"You unfilial thing, now you remember that you have a grandmother?" Anger was clear in his tone. She hit Alexander on the tight "Kneel beside your mother and that thing she calls a husband."
Alexander rubbed his thigh from pain and he looked at his grandfather who shook his head 'Don't look at me...' he muttered, he too wasn't brave enough to speak now.
Amanda looked at Alice and Erina with an examining look "hmm...you two are Alice and Erina I presume..." She said.
Alice and Erina tensed up, the atmosphere in the room was heavy enough to make them nervous "Yes!" Alice spoke first "I am Nakiri Alice, Alexander's first girlfriend, and second fianceé."
Erina followed behind her cousin "And I am Nakiri Erina, Alexander-sama's third girlfriends..."
Amanda stood up and walked around Erina and Alice in a circle. She then stopped in front of them and smiled "Come at me, you little angels!" Amanda opened her arms for the two girls "That rascal must have treated you unfairly." She looked at Alexander with a side gaze. the two hugged Amanda and felt more relaxed and comfortable, Amanda was so sweet to them.
"Come, my dears! sit with me until Rindo come and join us..." Amanda pulled the two girls and let them sit in her place.
"And you two..." Amanda looked at her daughter and grandson "Stand up." She commanded.
"Eh?" Alexander and his mother stood up while being confused.
"I have sent a message to you to return to Russia as soon as possible..." Amanda hit Alexander on the shoulder with her can.
"OUCH!!" Alexander yelped.
"But you didn't come."
"Rindo got pregnant..." Amanda hit him again on the same shoulder.
"That hurts!!"
"But we didn't get the news until almost half a month later."
"Instead of sending Rindo back to Russia to rest..." She hit again. At this point, everyone was sympathizing with him, but it was his fault anyway so he deserved it.
"...But you let her run around with no medical care at all." At this point, Amanda got even angrier and she assaulted Alexander's shoulder with no mercy until Alexander's clothes were ripped off and his red shoulder could be seen.
Being done with her grandson, Amanda turned to her daughter who was facing the other way, not daring to look at her mother.
"My sweet daughter..." Amanda smiled and held Alexandra's face with one hand.
"Mother...?" Alexandra spoke. Without any warning, she suffered the same fate as her son as Amanda took her can and attacked her daughter's thigh.
"Aw! Aw! Aw!" Alexandra started jumping from pain.
"You bunch of idiots!!" Amanda said. "Look at her!!" She pointed at Rindo's mother.
"She got the news of her daughter's pregnancy and she couldn't see her for a whole month, all because of your stupid irresponsibility. I wish that you were as good in your family life as you are in business." Roberto and his wife (Rindo's parents) felt a little awkward since they became the center of attention suddenly "Apologize to them and promise that you will never do such a thing again...NOW!!"
Alexander and his mother walked with pain and bowed to the two parents "We are sorry. We were bad but now we are good." they said.
"I-its okay, I understand that you must've been busy, but at least you have informed us." Rindo's mother said. She forgave the two, but her last words indicated that she was upset, which is why the two of them are getting whipped like this by Amanda who felt sorry and responsible for her children's behavior.
Alfie; Alexander's uncle was trembling as he could barely hold his laughter. Alfred nudged him to shut up so they won't get in trouble too but it was too late as Amanda has seen him.
"So, you think this is funny, Alfie?"
"NO I DID'N--"
"Vlad give him two buckets full of water." Amanda commanded, "You go to the corner and hold the two up with your hands until we decide to leave."
Her command sent Alfie in a shocking state, that was the punishment he has always feared since he was young.
Alice and Erina couldn't even talk as they feared that they might fall in the same situation as them.
The door to the room was opened and Shanks and Kaido returned with Rindo "Good day to you all!!" She greeted everyone.
"Rindo!!" Rindo's mother ran to her and embraced her "Are you okay? how is your baby? did you visit the doctor? when was your last checkup? do you eat properly?" Her anxiousness finally showed after she saw her daughter.
"I am good, I visit the doctor every week," Rindo responded. She found how her mother is behaving is cute. Rindo saw Alexander's red shoulder and then she looked at Alice and Erina who were looking at her like vultures 'Don't say anything unnecessary!' their eyes said.
"What is the matter?" she asked. Amanda came to her and hugged her "Nothing much, I was just punishing my children for their reckless behavior towards you."
"??" Rindo tilted her head in confusion.
"You cute little thing, don't tire yourself with thinking." Amanda thought that Rindo looked cute right now, mainly because she is holding so much affection towards her now that she is pregnant with her great-grandchild.
"Well, I have a Shokugeki that I must attend right now so I need to go, once I am done I will return." Rindo slipped away from them and ran away, it has been an hour already and the next bout is about to begin.
"Well. We should get going t--"
"SIT DOWN!!!" Amanda cut off Alexander as he wanted to leave and participate in the next bout. But Amanda was far more than done with him "Go join Alfie in the corner." She ordered.
"Wh--?" Alexander tried to protest but once he saw her raising her can up she moved like lightning.
"Tsk...Not in all of our family's history, not one man let his wife stay away from him more than a day." Amanda looked at Joinchri who was trying to be as much invisible as he can "I guess your recklessness came from him in the end..." Hearing her words, Joinchiro flinched and started to sweat.
"E-excuse me..." Erina stood with Alice and tried to speak to Amanda.
"What is it, dear?"
Alice looked at Erina and they nodded at each other "If you could allow us, we have an important Shokugeki that we must fight in. If we don't, I am afraid that we will be expelled from Totsuki." Alice said, she looked at Alexander who was shaking his head violently in disapprove.
"Oh! you can just forget about that, we are returning to Russia tonight." Amanda said, those words were what Alexander feared the most "Once Rindo comes back, we will leave without anyone staying behind."
Erina and Alice looked at Alexander in concern, he only gestured with his eyes and head for them to sit down and not to speak any further.
Amanda returned to sit down and wait for Rindo. The room went into silence.
Alexander started communicating silently with his grandfather, Roberto and Rindo's mother to help him, it took some time as they had to play the guessing game. The elders wanted to help Alexander but they had to wait for the perfect time.
After more than 3 hours, Rindo hasn't come back yet "Why is she late? how long does this Shokukaki thing take?" Amanda looked at her watch and asked. Alexander immediately said as he found the opportunity.
"They must be done by now, but hse must have gone somewhere, I will go get her," Alexander said.
Alfred and Rindo's parents took the cue and said: "Yeah, go, we will be waiting for you right here..."
Alexander quickly ran out before anyone can voice their opinions, Amanda looked at her husband "You just had to...?"
"What can I say..." Alfred shrugged his shoulder with a smile. Amanda could only sigh and wait "This time alone...just this time." She said.
Alexander ran to the Arena as fast as he could. When he reached the rebels' corner, he saw his teammates.
"Guys!!" he shouted.
"Alexander?!" They saw Alexander and were surprised. They thought that he won't come out this time. They are already in a pinch right now.
"How is the situation?" he asked quickly "Who won?"
they looked down and clenched their fists "They came out with their strongest three, the 5th seat, 2nd, and 1st."
Megishima sighed "Looks like I couldn't live up to my promise Isshiki."
"Don't worry about that, you did your best against Rindo." Ishhiki shook his head.
"Listen to me guys..." Alexander looked at them with eyes full of fire, he doesn't have time to waste anymore...
[It is time for the third bout. Please send your 3 fighters to the arena.] Urara-chan announced.
"WAIT UP!!!" Alexander shouted. Urara-chan looked at him [What is the matter?] Alexander walked up to the stage and took her mic from here.
"OI!! that is mine!!" she said.
Alexander cleared his troth and looked at where Azami and the elite 10 are...
[I have a proposal to make...] Alexander said. Azami and the elite 10 were a little surprised as this was out of their plans.
"What is it?" Tsukasa asked. He walked to the stage with Azami who followed with "I hope it is a reasonable one this time."
Alexander chuckled [Me and my teammates have agreed to this...All that is left is you not turning into cowards.]
Azami shook his.
"Whatever that might be, say it fast..." Tsukasa said.
[We want to end this Shokugeki in this next match... All of your remaining 6 guys vs Me alone, The winner takes all!!!]
