194 BLUE - What is He Gonna Do?
Sorry for the late update, Pat-reon users know about this, but my father died the past week and I couldn't bring myself to do anything, it was a tough day, please pray to my father, we say that the stranger's prayer is accepted no matter what.
In the old castle where the tournament of BLUE is taking place, Alexander has defeated all his opponents so far including his two girls; Alice and Erina. And of course, for someone as competitive as themselves, they didn't take their losses lightly, although Ace took advantage of the situation and made Alexander promise to take her to Disney Land where she will annoy him and take her revenge in a battle she knows she can win. As for Erina, well, she didn't lose much in her life, so this came as a shock for her, at first she seemed angry, then upset, then slowly she started to crack down as she started crying secretly trying no to show weakness and accept her lose with pride, but even the most prideful people don't like to lose. But ultimately, each of Erina and Alice has dealt with their loss in a good way.
And also, for Erina, this loss got her mind off her mother's situation for some time now. Alexander wanted to go up and have a word with her about manipulating his matches, but then he decided it was not worth the trouble, this is was her tournament and she literally can do what she wants, even the judges said so themselves, they said that the brackets are only there to make it easy for the Book Master to play around with the battles.
Being done with his matches, Alexander, together with Erina, Alice, and Soma were watching Takumi fighting his last battle for tonight. His opponent was...Tsukasa Eishi. With his experience against Alexander, Takumi has gained a lot of experience, so he didn't give Tsukasa an easy match, he fought against the previous first seat of Totsuki equally...But ultimately, he couldn't beat his superhuman skill and fell short against Tsukasa.
With this, Team Totsuki is shortened to only Alexander, Takumi accepted his defeat like a good man and vowed to defeat Tsukasa the next time they met to which Tsukasa was happy to do.
"I guess it is only me, huh?" Alexander said with a smirk. He and the group decided to call it a day and head back to their rooms and wait for the next day's battles.
"Everyone did their best, Alexander-san." Tsukasa spoke with a smile "I really didn't expect Takumi-san to use Mayonaise back there, it caught me off guard." He said with a smile.
"Tsukasa-senpai, you're a great chef, i had to do something to get you down, but ultimately, you were the better chef," Takumi responded.
Alice sighed "I have to admit, this tournament is taking too long!" She said rubbing her shoulders.
"It can't be helped, hindered of chefs participated, and just to flush them out we need 2 days," Erina responded. "However, tomorrow will be a free day to allow the chefs to relax before they enter the next stage, which is the semi-finals. After that comes three days of battles, each chef will have one fight a day. Then the fourth day will be the finals."
The group found themselves in front of the garden near the gate and Alexander sat down to enjoy some of the cold breeze.
"Then, I will go to sleep now, see you tomorrow," Tsukasa said waving at them.
Alexander and the rest waved back at him with Alexander looking tired as hell "Damn, I do not enjoy this tournament at all, all i have been doing is crushing people left and right." He spoke with irritation.
"Wow! what an ego!" Alice looked at him with disgust.
"But that is the truth."
"You are probably the only one who is bored from defeating your opponents!" Takumi said with a frown.
"And the only one who going a full drama queen about it," Erina added after him. Hearing them picking on him, Alexander decided to pretend like they don't even exist as he looked at the moon...trying to be poetic. It would have been a perfect scene...If not for the increasing sound of an ice cream truck.
"Huh? Ice cream truck music?" Takumi looked at the gate where the sound is coming and frowned.
"Don't be stupid!" Erina shook her head, but then she heard it too "Whia! it is really the sound of it."
Alexander laughed hearing the sound clear as it was coming fast. But then he heard something else that made his face go green "That can't be?!" It was the sound of the engine of one particular car that he can recognize whenever he goes.
Seeing his face go grim, Erina and Alice were confused. The sound got louder and louder resembling the roar of monsters. Then the gate burst open with a huge monster care destroying the historic gate in one single swoop.
Then a loud scream resounded "ALEXANDER!!!!" one black spikey haired man popped out of the window and shouted louder than his car's engine "WHERE IS ALEXANDER??!!" He then took out his gun and started shooting out in the sky causing chaos.
Alexander's face looked like he just ate shit witnessing his uncle jumping off his car and looking around and shooting up in te sky and shouting "WHERE IS ALEXANDER??!!" with a terrified face.
"idiot!!" Alexander stood up leaving the frozen girls behind him, Takumi turnaround with stoic face "That did not just happen." And left to his room. He refuses to believe that this is reality.
"What are you doing?!!" Alexander ran to his uncle and punched him in the gut while he was looking for him the other way.
"Gah! ah! Axy! you're here, thank god!" Alfie put down his and grabbed Alexander by his shoulder and sighed, as if he was not just punched.
"THANK GOD, MY ASS!! what got into you?" Alexander asked as he looked around him seeing everyone running around in chaos.
"I had to, axy!" Alfie was sweating "Listen, we don't have time...I want you to calm down and listen carefully."
Alexander looked at his uncle and felt like he was will give him some bad news 'Can it be? did someone die? no, that can't be? if that happened, Vlad will tell me first.' he thought.
Alfie grabbed Alexander's shoulder and looked at him straight in the eyes "Rindo is giving birth." He said.
Alexander's world went ice cold hearing those words, then burst in chaos "AAAhhh!!!" he shouted "WHAT AM I GONNA DO??" he asked his uncle with a terrified face.
"DON'T ASK ME!!" Alfie shouted after him.
"GREAT RASPUTIN!!!" Alexander grabbed his head "CALM DOWN, CALM DOWN!! FIRST WE GO GET THE WARM WATER!!"
"SHE IS IN RUSSIA, IT WILL GET COLD BEFORE WE CAN GET THERE!!" Alfie punched Alexander on his head "THINK RATIONALLY!!...WE SHOULD HEAT IT ON THE WAY!!"
"THAT IS RIGHT!!"
Erina and Alice behind them were speechless, never in their life have they heard such conversation before. But what got into their ears was that Rindo is giving birth.
"Axy, let us go!" Alfie jumped to his car and turned the ice cream music again.
"Drive fast, just don't kill us...or anyone else!" Alexander said before jumping behind him, but then he saw Erina and Alice "Oh shit! girls, Rindo will give birth, since you have no matches left, I will call Vlad to get you to Russia."
Alice and Erina nodded silently, and then Erina remembered "Hey! what about your matches?" she said.
Alice remembered that Alexander is still part of this "if you leave now, you will lose by default." Alexander remembered that and clicked his tongue "Damn it!!" he said.
He looked at the room where Mana is supposed to be and frowned. He definitely can't miss the birth of his son, and he needs to be there for his fianceé too, or his grandmother will skin him alive, but he also hates to go like this and lose automatically. Alexander opened the door and jumped out "Wait for me, give me ten minutes!" He said before he ran inside the heaven's keep to meet Mana. While he was going, guards started coming in, of course, Alfie just burst through three doors and started shooting guns inside the castle. But that is his own trouble, not Alexander's.
----------------------
Now...What will Alexander do? what does he hope to get by meeting Mana?
