2 Alexander

Let's end this here... This a Harem story but without the heavily H-scene. Also, I don't think that I will focus that much on the harem as it's not about love all the time, it's about cooking and finding love.

If you don't like Harem stories, don't wast your time here.

And if you like Harem stories, stick around you may like.

Also, if you want H-scenes too much, don't waste your time here.

Finally, If you're not that interested in H-scenes, stick around you may like it too.

The max number of girls is 3 or in case someone wanted to see some girl and suggested how to get her in, I would love to increase it to 4 girls.

End of the discussion.

--------------------------------------------

8 Years! it's been 8 years since the former Asahi Mikoto is currently known as Alexander, Alexander died and reincarnated into this new world. Also, he was named after his mother.

For the young Alexander, it was strange, not because he was reborn, he can't remember his past life or how he spent it. But he can remember his world and that he was a chef and he can recall all of his past knowledge about cooking.

The strange thing that Alexander found was the people of this world, they're very different, their body structure is different, their beauty standards are very high. almost all women he was introduced to when he was a toddler were all beautiful women of the best caliber. As if they were drawn by God himself.

And even tho, he is currently in Japan, the people seem to be different from the Japanese people he knows about, all types of hair and eye colors do exist. the former Black, blond and red hair colors seem like a joke here. He met a woman with white hair and red eyes, and another with green eyes and hair.

But that strange feeling soon disappeared as he adapted in his new life.

He is born to a woman called Alexandra Helmet, a beautiful woman with black hair with red eyes, she is so kind and hardworking woman. apparently, she is a chef too. During his early years, she used to take Alexander with her to her restaurant. Its a big restaurant in Kyoto city in Japan. Alexander observed his mother cooking and noticed that she is very skilled with many recipes and new dishes. she was very creative in her dishes, something made Alexander feel funny as most dishes have a funny appearance but she later works on that part and fixes it so it can be a proper dish.

Alexander liked his mother very much as she would play and joke around with him at all time even when she is busy with cooking. She was a fun lady with a happy go lucky mentality.

As for his father, Alexander didn't get to hear his name as his mother never called him with his name as his mother always calls him by "dear" or " honey" so he never heard his name, but he was a tall man with Red-Brown hair that reaches to his nape with long strands of hair hanging on his forehead. he had stubble as a beard, something his mother liked very much as she would rub her face on his stubble whenever he got the chance.

Something Alexander noticed during their conversation is that his father is married to other women other than his mother. And apparently one of them died not so long ago, he has two other kids besides Alexander, the big one is good but the small one will need someone to take care of him. So his father decided to live in his dead wife's house to take care of him. Alexander could understand, he still got his mother but his younger brother needs a parent more than him, so he didn't feel sad or angry, and the same goes for Alexandra, she agreed to let him live with the younger child with a supportive mentality. And that was the last time he saw his father, about 2 years ago.

Alexander and Alexandra went over his father's absence as they developed a closer relationship, Alexandra was afraid that Alexander will start hating his father for leaving them but he surprised her when he said:

"I would be angrier if he let a child who lost his mother and came to us, I support his decision"

"My little dear, you're so mature" Alexandra hugged the little Alexander as she thinks she raised a good man. but his maturity is causing her another form of distress and worrying. Alexander doesn't have any friend, due to his mature mentality, Alexander couldn't bring himself to befriend anyone even tho Alexandra spent a good amount of time taking Alexander to her friends' houses so he could play with boys his age, but unfortunately, he didn't. he would rather watch her cooking than play tag or hide and seek with kids.

"Now that I think about it. Alex-chan is good at cooking, right. how about I invite an old friend of mine here and you cook for us, what do you think?" said Alexandra, she still has hope, if boys won't work then girls it is...

"I don't mind, but don't expect anything luxurious, I would prepare something simple."

Alexander had shown his mother his 'talent' in cooking a year back when he was 7 years old. When Alexandra came back sick from her restaurant after a long night at work, Alexander made for her a Rotisserie Chicken Coconut Curry Soup, the perfect thing for a sick day, since she wasn't sick that much or he would've taken her to the hospital. After taking one bite of the food, Alexandra stood up from her bed and called Alexander a prodigy, of course, he wasn't, all of his experience came from many books and teaching s of extraordinary chefs alongside his creativity and passion. but Alexander didn't feel the need to correct her. she bragged about Alexander cooking to all her friends making them curious and would visit every day just to see if what she said is true.

Of course, Alexander wouldn't let his mother feel embarrassed so he made simple dishes but with great tastes that would live up to his Title as [The Golden Hand].

"Don't worry about that Alex-chan, just prepare what you can, they would be happy to eat something like yours even if it was an omelet, they're not that demanding," said Alexandra as she gave Alexander a thumbs up with a happy smile.

Two weeks later, In the morning. The guest had arrived, an old man wearing traditional Japanese clothes with two young girls, one blond with violet eyes and the other white hair with red eyes. They both seem to be the same age as Alexander.

"Welcome to my home, Senzaemon-dono," said Alexandra, unlike her happy go lucky mentality, this time she faced this old man with a proper greeting and respect making Alexander do the same. but as she saw the girls she launched at them and gave them a group hug. the girls didn't refuse her and returned her hug. Looks like they know each other for a long time.

"And this is...?" Senzaemon looked at Alexander who was standing beside Alexandra, he wanted to know the little boy's name

"This is Alexander. My little Angel! and he will be the one to cook for us breakfast" said Alexandra, her voice held pride in it. any mother who has a talented son would feel pride and Alexander have a talent for cooking something she was very good at since her circle of friends is all just top tier chefs.

"Ohoo!! so the boy got talent?" Senzaemon stroke his long white beard as he looked at Alexander with closed eyes " Well, girls, where are your manners? greet your new friend"

The White-haired little girl was the one to speak first " I am Nakiri Alice, Nice to meet you, Alex-chan" Alice was bold girl, she wasn't shy around strangers and was happy to befriend Alex. Alexander took a liking to this girl. he returned her greeting with a slight smile which made Alice happy

Next was the other blond girl " I am Nakiri Erina, Nice to meet you. Alex-Kun" Erina wasn't like Alice, she was still shy and nervous around strangers. But she was still happy to have another friend aside from Alice

"C'mon Erina-chan, show more emotions or Alex-chan will think of you as a dull girl! 'C'mon smile! smile!" Alice took Erina's face and made her smile forcefully making the adults laugh and Alexander amused.

For him, the girls were polar opposite which made them good friends, it's like they complete each other.

"C' mon kids, I will speak with Senzaemon-dono a little, you girls can help Alex-chan to prepare breakfast" Alexandra let the kids go to the kitchen, since she trusts Alexander and knows that he is very careful in the kitchen she can rest assured that he won't let himself or the girls get harmed

Alexander took the girls to the kitchen and made them help him around. Since Alice is the talkative type he thought of making her busy so he can concentrate. Surprisingly the girls know their way around the kitchen and made things easier for Alexander. His plan is to make a simple yet traditional Japanese breakfast.

In the living room, Alexandra and Senzaemon are speaking in a very serious tone.

"I still can't believe Tamako-san died, joichiro-Kun must be sad...Also, it must feel bad for you and your child to not see him for all this time." Senzaemon looked down with sad eyes

"Don't worry about him, he is being strong for his child and Alexander and I understand very well how he feels, we don't blame him" Alexandra shook her head in disagreement with Senzaemon. This matter was already closed with them supporting Joichiro in his decision so there was no need for sadness. Tamako and Alexandra were like sisters even tho their worlds were apart like heaven and earth, they still got along.

"And then...what about your little boy? will you send him to Totsuki to be a chef or not, since you had already enlisted him in a normal elementary school" Asked Senzaemon " Isn't he going to inherit your Resturant chains??"

Alexandra laughed at first as she said " To be honest. I didn't want for him to go through the trouble of being a chef and follow me and his father's path, but...he suddenly showed me his talent for cooking then I thought " It will be a waste if I didn't send him to learn how to cook and make a name for himself!" But I still haven't brought up that topic yet." She looked back at her son in the kitchen making breakfast, she looked at his eyes and face and she noticed the little happiness he shows while cooking. it is very faint but clear for her. Her son loves cooking and she will support him.

"Then how about we ask him now to decide...There is still time to transfer him to Totsuki, he can lean everything from the start" Said Senzaemon as he stroke his beard with a thoughtful expression

"Hmm..." Alexandra stopped to think for a moment " Let's try, but if he refused then I can't force him to go." she said. She agreed to ask her son to lean cooking and go to Tatsuki's elementary branch but nothing is decided yet

After an around or so. The kids came out with the dishes. The girls had happy faces, they put the dishes on the table. Then they all enjoyed the food. Senzaemon's eyes couldn't believe that the person who made this was a kid. If he started learning of a young age, he will be a monster in cooking! he thought. The girls themselves made a satisfied expression as this food held a special taste to it. It was like they can feel Alexander's presence in this dish.

Alexandra wasn't surprised at all, This Level of cooking was the normal Alexander would give, she knows that he still has a lot of potential in him and the food he can make is unlimited.

Senzaemon took off his upper cloths as he flexed his muscles making Alexander look at him with strange eyes

" Truly, a great breakfast...Truly!" Senzaemon praised Alexandr as he ate more.

"Alex-Chan is very good at cooking. I like it!!" Alice expressed her pleasure openly while Erina was shy and didn't praise Alex and just commented it was good.

After finishing breakfast, Senzaemon cleared his throat and called for Alexander by his full name.

"Saiba Alexander...With my authority as the Director of the Totsuki group, I invite you to our school of chefs. I believe that Alexander-Kun can become a very extraordinary chef and our school can make sure of that"

Alice and Erina's ears twitched at his statement, they became excited at the notion of Alex going to school with them. They can be real friends now.

"That's right Alex-Chan, please accept, we would be happy to have you as our friend in school too" Alice hugged Alex's body as she imagined all the things she can do with her new friends. Erina too was happy. Having another friend is making her very happy, Not that she got many friends to begin with.

"No." one word came out of Alexander's mouth jolting Alice and Erina, they were expecting Alex to agree

"Why? Alex-chan do you hate us??" Alice asked with teary eyes, her chance of having another friend is slipping away

"Why did you refuse Alex-kun?" It was Erina who asked this time. Like Alice, she too wants to have Alex as a friend. His food was great and he treated her like Alice treated her, unlike those fake people.

"Please tell us your reason for refusing, Alexander-kun" Senzaemon had expected for Alex to accept but he refused in the end, he looked at Alexandra and saw that she was drinking tea and just listening quietly. She left her son to decide his destiny by himself.

" I am not planning on joining a school for cooking now, not yet. even tho I have passion for cooking but I still want to live an easy life away from the pressure of cooking." Alex looked at Senzaemon in the eyes trying to cony his determination. He had lived a life full of cooking and hardship, although he can't remember if, he can still feel exhaustion in his soul. he wants to wash that exhaustion away first before he dives into the cooking world again.

" "Yet"...I understand that you're planning on joining a cooking school in the future, then you will be joining in middle school or high school?!" Asked Senzaemon

"Highschool..." Alex Responded

"Too long!!" Alice shouted, " Please Alex-chan, how about next year!!" Alice closed her face to Alex's and asked with her red cute eyes

"Alice! Alex-kun said he wants to stay away from the pressure of cooking for some time, a year is not enough" Erina scolded Alice for her words, she didn't want her to influence Alex's decision. Not that she will succeed in that. since Alexander is very firm in making his decisions

Alexander felt that this girl is very cute, the way she carries herself is very cute and likable, she is an easy going girl that you can't dislike. As for Erina, she carries herself with respect and pride. both of them have something that Alex likes very much in his friends. Maybe being close with these two is not a bad idea after all, he thought.

"Girls, sit down..." Senzaemon brought his granddaughters back to sit beside him, he is having a very important matter now with Alexander

"...Are you sure about this? I respect your decision but if you joined, later on, you may fall behind in the cooking classes. the majority of our students are going through heavily organized and informative lessons from the first grade...Won't you find adjusting to the classes later on?" Senzaemon wanted to make sure that Alexander won't regret his decision later.

"Of course, I made my decision and I will bear the responsibility of it," Alexander said with determination. His knowledge is superior to many people in the world, he really wanted to see who can challenge him later on.

Senzaemon sighed in relief, at least the boy has a sense of responsibility, he thought

"Well then, Saiba Alexander...I am looking forward to seeing you after 7 years." He stood up after covering his naked upper body and telling his grandchildren to get ready to leave

"Ehh!!! but we had just arrived." Alice complained, she still wants to spend some time with Alex-chan and Erina-chan

"Please grandpa, some more time!!" Even Erina wanted to stay a little longer. Both girls made Alexandra feel happy that finally, someone wanted to be her son's friend. and they're girls on top of that, Alexandra is looking forward for the future.

"I can't, I have a business to do...But I can bring at another time whenever I have free time." Senzaemon wished for his children to be happy. This is the first time he saw the girls get attached to someone this fast.

The girls became very happy at that. Alice gave her goodbyes to Alex with Erina before they finally left the house.

After Senzaemon left, Alexander and Alexandra were the only ones left in the house.

"So, my little angel finally found his match. " Alexandra poked Alexander's cheek in a teasing manner " I won't be worried in the future when I am old don't I?"

"Please...They're both lovely girls, I couldn't bring my self to chase them away." Said, Alexander

"Eh!! C'mon, be shy or blush, it's no fun when you acknowledge things" Alexandra expressed her disappointment with passion.

"But forget about that for now..."Alexandra turned serious suddenly as she looked at Alexander in the eyes " Alexander...Do you accept to Inherit my Red Cloud business group?" she asked

"....Why are you asking?? isn't this a normal thing?" Alexander felt strange at her question

"I don't want you to put yourself under pressure, since if you accepted you'll need to run across the word and visit my restaurant branches every now and then. You will attend meetings with me and learn how to cook from me. I don't want to force you" She explained, her son is too dear for her to force him in the business world.

"Don't worry about that. I would love to travel around the world. And I would like to reduce some of the workloads on you. So you won't come back sick like the other time" Said Alexander making Alexandra feel touched at her son and feel that she raised a great man.

From that day. Alexander embraced his new identity as Saiba Alexander, the young master and the future leader of the large, famous and prestige Resturant chains.

Because of his business knowledge in managing his tower in the past. Alexander didn't feel pressure at all.

Alice and Erina would come to his house to spend some time and learn how to cook new dishes from Alexander. They both liked him and he liked them in return.

At they would come every 3 days but it started to get less and less until when they reached 10 years old, they never came back to his house. He tried to check on them and he found they were okay, so he didn't bother them as his mother they are starting to train in their family's business and to become chefs in the future.

As Alexander got older, he would travel to other countries such as France, the US, and Korea, he would sometimes meet Alice and Erina there as some of their family's businesses are related.

Alice as always would cling to him, the girl became more mature and her body developed in a good and fantastic way, she would often flirt with Alexander with her body. Alexander would sometimes return her flirting making her blush heavily as she was always the teaser and the other way.

As for Erina, after their first meeting in a long time, she tried to distance herself from Alexander but Alice made sure to stop her bring their relationship with Alexander as it was in the past. In the end, Erina didn't succeed in her attempt and just gave up on distancing herself from Alexander.

Her father warned her many times to stay away from Alexander many times, After what he did to her, she couldn't disobey her father, he was trying to erase her innocence personality. But when Alexander cooked for her the first food she ate from Alexander's hands, she was remembered with her past as the feeling from that time returned. She still has fear in her heart from her father but she definitely better than he left her. At least Erina won't become cold toward her dear friend as her father wanted.

And so...Alexander reached 15 Years old, he came back to Japan precisely to Tokyo in preparation to join Totsuki as he said to Senzaemon, he was a man of his word.

Totsuki, for the first time since it was built, will witness the first storm inside it. a storm know as [The Golden Hands]
