53. Bet

Alex prepared around the afternoon as he had a prior arrangement with Scathach. He took his Axe out of the inventory that was finally unlocked and got out of the villa with his powers deactivated.

He didn't want to catch too much attention and was using the sunglasses that he took out of the inventory in preparation for this day.

He had actually forgotten the glasses when he asked for Escanor's equipment but when he saw them in the inventory, he finally remembered this piece of equipment.

Merlin also somehow knew quite a bit about his powers and even gave him some tips. He was surprised at first to say the least.

But He didn't bother to ask as he trusted her enough from all these years and she was nothing like her canon counterpart and was affectionate towards him.

He made it to Scathach's villa that looked like an old European style gothic villa with dark walls and a massive grilled gate.

It looked like a small castle rather than a villa and was quite secluded from the rest of the area. It was quiet and peaceful and it's menacing aura made sure that no one disturbed that peace.

Alex banged open the front gates as he barged into the villa without a single care for anything. He felt Scathach's presence with his Haki and started walking towards that direction.

"Scathach-nee chan, I am Here". He said in a sing song as he barged into her changing clothes.

He didn't care as he already knew and just admired the view in front of him. Scathach in return just looked at him blankly, she picked him up from the collar and tossed him outside without saying anything.

Alex just rubbed the back of his head but didn't feel embarrassed about seeing her naked. He closed his eyes as he pictures that beautiful body in his mind.

Scathach came out of the room, fully dressed in her warrior outfit and without saying anything started heading towards the training grounds.

"Scathach-nee chan, don't be angry. You are so beautiful and I as your future husband has to take a good look". Alex said self righteously as he thumped his chest.

Scathach paused for a second as she looked at his self righteous look. She smiled imperceptibly as her ears turned a but red but her face still looked stoic like before.

"Hehehe, I am right. You will be my bride in the future". Alex laughed cheekily as he teased her further.

Scathach got over her emotions quickly and started walking without saying anything. Alex just smiled as he followed beside her.

They reached the training grounds as Scathach took her Spear from the weapons rack and Alex just willed Rhitta to come into his hands.

Scathach raised an eyebrow at the exquisiteness of the Axe in Alex's hands. Alex looked at her intrigue and started talking. "This is Divine Axe Rhitta. Named after the maiden loved by the Sun". Alex said as he caressed the blade with his hands.

He didn't need to activate Sunshine to wield it like his canon counterpart as this axe made that only he could wield it, no matter what.

"It's a good weapon". It was the first time Scathach spoke today and it was to praise the weapon that she felt was quite good.

"Scathach-nee chan, it's not fair that you praise my weapon but didn't even give me a kiss for breaking through". Alex sulked as he talked to Scathach.

Scathach ignored him first but felt bad when she saw his sulking face. "Sigh". She sighed loudly and walked over as she kissed him on the lips.

Alex took this chance as he quickly encircled her waist and pushed his tongue in her mouth.

Scathach didn't stop or try to fight back as she passively let him do what he wanted. Alex found this experience new and exhilarating as most of his girls would respond back or not let him pry open their mouths at all.

After battling their tongues for a while. Alex was out of breath, so he got away from Scathach, who had a massive red blush on her face and an intoxicated look in her eyes.

As previously said, Alex's fluids work like a mild aphrodisiac that let's the opposite sex reach orgasm quicker than normal.

Scathach liked the feeling of being teased and cared for as her family was already gone and she was alone in this world. At first, she was really cold to Alex and not even saying a word in reply to his talks and teases.

Slowly but surely, she started to open up to him. Even if she didn't talk much but her expression would change much more these days as Alex proved himself to be talented in weapons and as a capable warrior.

She opened up to him and started to sometimes have a few words with him about some things when he teases her or even respond to his attempt at taking advantage of her.

Alex had wormed his way into her heart. Although, she didn't express it but both of them knew that it was just a matter of time and their relationship just needed a push to take it further and that's what Alex was aiming from today.

"Scathach-nee chan, your mouth is so sweet". Alex teased her as he stroked her beautiful purple hair with his hand.

Scathach nodded her head as she just buried it in his neck. She was a bit taller than him as he was just 10 years old and wasn't all that tall at the moment.

"You know what we are going to do today right?" Alex questioned as he sniffed the fragrance coming from her hair.

Feeling no movement from her. He just opted to speak. "Today is the day of our bet. If I win then you'll be my bride and if I lose then I'll be your groom". Alex gave a toothy grin like the bet was normal with no strings attached.

Only Yama knew how shameless his bet was. No matter if he won or lost. He will be the ultimate winner in this bet.

Scathach being the silent type just gave him a side eye and didn't say anything but you could see from her eyes that she was calling him shameless.

"Don't be like that. If you don't say anything that means you agree". Alex took the chance and kissed her again before she could refuse.

Scathach just helplessly sighed in her mind and prepared herself for the match and her inevitable fate against her supposed younger brother and student.
