Chapter 360 Day 1.9 – Alexa has a knight!

For some weird reason that Alexa could not understand, they didn’t let her fix Alan.

“But it will be faaaast.” Alexa complained yet again as they moved out of the classroom, Glory and Beato had wanted to eat something, or look around in their new school.

Alan… had wanted to move to somewhere more public for some weird reason, Alexa didn’t understood what this had to do with anything, but she still moved along because they had voted on it, and three versus one had won the voting.

Alexa had forgotten to include the sacred rule that would give her as many votes as people they had around, she would need to bring it later, it was such a good rule to have.

But whatever, Alexa didn’t mind it since she was just enjoying her time at school. So what mattered was that she was having or doing, since time with friends was time well spent!

The [Mom] person had also said that.

“Alexa no.” Alan said yet again, “Besides if I return to… my less aware form I would not want to stay with you all, and instead would probably run to play with other kids.”

Alan had showed the Alan that Glory had mentioned before, albeit for a little, and then returned to this one. Glory had said that she liked more the other one, but she didn’t mind this one.

So at the end, they decided to keep this one, after all, the other Alan did indeed attempt to leave when he allowed that other Alan to surface. He had promised it wasn’t like how Alexa was doing it with Ale, but Alexa didn’t really understood what he was speaking about, so she let that one out.

Alexa suspected that Alan was copying her skill set, after all, that was something she had done first! He was running out of cool things to do, so he was copying Alexa! Alexa would need to file for copyright infraction or something. How do you file for those tho?

Alexa would need to ask Ale to do it, she was the content thingie, she should know how to file them… Unless she wasn’t doing it?

Ale always complained that it was hard to make new videos since she was a reactionary type or something? Something about needing to watch other people or something?

Alexa wasn’t sure what the deal was with that either.

“So, where are we going?” Alan asked after they managed to get farther into the building.

Alexa peeked at her integrated minimap (She stole the design from Ale’s videogames), it was showing they were moving towards the food area!

“Alexa is the one guiding us, even if she is complaining.” Beato pointed out, “Are we going to the school gym?”

“But I didn’t bring my Gym uniform!” Glory complained, “Can’t we go to the pool? Papa said they had a pool this big!”

“That’s big!” Alexa gasped as Glory had extended her arms wide and far, it was so big that it was almost four Alexas wide!

How could someone had such a big water thingie like that!

“We are going to get food.” Alexa answered, “And then we can go to the water thing.”

“Yay!” “Yay!” Beato and glory cheered at Alexa’s guidance, as they should.

“Not yay.” Alan however, was a nay sayer! Boo! “If you want to play in the water you can’t eat in the cafeteria, you will hurt your stomach.”

“Boo!” Glory booed! As she should.

“Boo!” “Down with the nay sayers!” Both Beato and Alexa joined in the booing, Alan wasn’t fun!

Why was he being a meanie? Was it really something wrong inside his head? Alexa really wanted to open it to check.

“If you eat and get into the water, you will puke.” Alan continued being a nay sayer!

“Alexa will not puke!” Alexa defended her honor, “Alexa is sure, she can turn that thing off if she needs to!”

Or more like, she could just absorb everything inside her tummy to ensure it wouldn’t be expelled before it was time, Alexa was a smart girl after all.

“I don’t want to puke…” Glory, however, seemed convinced by it.

“Momma say that I can’t got into the pool if I had snackies…” Beato also deflated.

So no pool?

“We could go first to the pool and then to the cafeteria.” Alan decided to bring this forth.

“A genius!” “He is a genius!” Both Glory and Beato quickly cheered and were impressed by Alan’s idea.

But Alexa couldn’t help but frown, if he had the answer from the beginning, why not say it? Was he showing off?

“Hmm….” Alexa wasn’t sure, but Alan merely smiled at her and winked, was he a nefarious plan? “Okay.”

For now she would accept and do that.

“Alan!” So Alexa took a step forward (Backwards) to stand besides Alan, “Alexa will accept your idea, so show Alexa the way to the pool!”

Alexa totally didn’t want to play in the big as heck pool, nor did she want to see if she could get an armada of Mister Squeaky to finally play out the apocalypses scenario of her personal miniseries, Comodoro Soap vs The forces of Evil.

No sir.

ALEXA KNOWS NOT WHAT YOU SPEAK ABOUT.

“Then this way.” Alan pulled out his smartphone and started guiding them.

Main Core, how is he doing it! Alexa quickly queried Main Core who had all the answers Alexa would ever need.

[Subject: Alan Harmonia. Is using the mini map feature of the smartphones provided by the Saintsworths Conglomerate.]

Huh?

That was a thing?

Alexa couldn’t help but look at the minimap that she had made using the thingies she stole from Ale’s video games.

Then is Alexa’s master plan of making this minimap a thing that someone else did first? Alexa couldn’t help but deflate a little, she had been so proud of her idea. It was a revolutionary thing!

[Minimap function was already existing within Aquila, we merely redirected the data.]

Dang it!

So it was not a cool innovation from Alexa… She would need to rethink what her cool innovation would be, Ale already had her whole streaming on the side career. She was also the minion and whatnot.

Granted, Alexa also could fight as minion if she really wanted, but since it was an Ale thing, she wanted to leave it as an Ale thing, what could Alexa do then?

“And here we are Ladies.” Alan suddenly spoke from the front, Alexa had been using her thinking sub process to think, so her body had followed in autopilot while she was thinking. “I present you, the pool.”

As soon as Alexa returned to the world of the living, she was hit with a weird smell, it smelled of… Chlorine.

[Notice, the smell referred is not actual Chlorine. As that would be an irritating and toxic chemical. What host is smelling should be low traces of Chloramine, a subproduct made by contact with water and dead human cells within the water.]

Hmm…. So she could snack on those? Could perhaps this be the ultimate soup full of blueprints that Alexa wanted?!?! Could this by the moment where Alexa would get a sudden influx of blueprints for her to finally finish her previous project?

“Alan!” Glory suddenly spoke, pulling Alexa back from her evil(not) plans of slurping all the pool water. “Bring me the cute swimsuit!”

Swimsuit?

“You brought swimsuits?!?!?” Beato was surprised and even impressed, as one could clearly see by the stars forming on her eyes…

How was she doing that? Alexa was quite literally seeing star shoot out from her eyes, was that also part of her [Core Powers]? If so, what function did it have?

Alexa wanted to nom one of those to see how they tasted, and perhaps take a bite out of Beato, surely Ale wouldn’t mind it…

“Well, jokes on you because now Alexa wants to nom it even more!” Alexa said while dismissing the blue screen that materialized in front of her.

“First.” Alan raised his hand, stopping both Alexa, Glory and Beato from moving. “We didn’t brought our swimsuits, since I didn’t think we would have free time, or that we would come to the pool.”

“Boo!” “Boo!” “How is that relevant to Alexa noming?”

The answers, of course, were all important, Alexa’s opinion was the most important tho. But that was obvious, since it was Alexa’s!

“Second.” Alan pointed at Beato, “It’s rude to bite or ‘Nom’ your friends Alexa.” Alan then pointed at Glory and Beato, “Or would you want them to nom at you?”

“…But Alexa is not tasty…?” Alexa asked, “I think?”

Was Alexa tasty?

[Information inconclusive, but going by expected flavor out of the average materials within host, the answer would be a no.]

Alexa looked at her own hand, she could make it tasty… But if she left it as it was, she wasn’t sure she would be tasty, at the very least she didn’t got any impulse or want to nom herself.

“Hmm….” Alexa then turned to look at Glory and Beato, “Alexa… doesn’t want to get nomed.”

“I would never nom Alexa!” Glory said defending Alexa’s honor, “BFF don’t nom each other!”

“Yeah!” Beato added from the side, “You nom bad guys! Momma Elisee said that they never expect it!”

“… Alexa promises she will not nom her friends.” Alexa said deflating a little, should she tell them that she had nomed a little bit of Glory and Alan when she was helping them before?

But that was out of her control! She needed a sample!

No wait… If all she needed was a sample she didn’t really need to nom then did she?

“That includes licking, sucking and tasting.” Alan suddenly added, “It’s rude.”

“Yeah, you can only smooch your BFF if they are okay with it too.” Glory added, “Papa said that I shouldn’t smooch everyone and I can only smooch people I love or like, like Alan!”

“Momma Rona said the same, smoochies are for family and loved ones, I can only smooch the frens I really really like too.” Beato nodded.

Smochies?

[That probably refers to the act of placing the lips in the skin of another person, it is an act of care, love, familiarity and or reassurance.]

…Oh. Alexa placed a hand atop her forehead, she had vague memories of Alexandra doing that for Ale when she was leaving. So that’s what that was. She had assumed it was a data transfer, but it was that.

“Alexa hasn’t gotten that many smochies.” Alexa didn’t think she had gotten did she?

The [Mom] person and [Aunty Viv] hadn’t given her those, they had given her hugs and the like. [Big Brother] had put the nanite bomb on her forehead, but that wasn’t a smochie either.

“I can give you one!” Beato jumped happily as she stood besides Alexa, and before Alexa could react she felt the lips of Beato hitting her cheek. “There! Now you have one smochie!”

“And I’ll give you the second!” Glory quickly rushed to her other cheek and did the same. “Now you have two smochies!”

“Quick Alan! Alexa needs smochies!” Glory then turned to Alan, “Give her one!”

“… Then I’ll-“ Alan sighed and started walking forward, only for Glory to suddenly turn a slight shade of red and stand in front of Alexa (On the side she had smochied).

“Not this one!” Glory said covering Alexa’s cheek with her hand, “This one is mine!”

“Huh?” Alan was confused, as was Alexa.

“Ah…” But before Alexa could ask what that was about, Beato suddenly seemed to come to a realization and she also covered Alexa’s cheek… The one she had smochied at least, “This one is mine! Momma Elisee said that I had to be careful about my smochies and boys! Unless I wanted to end pregante!”

“Hah?!?” Alan stopped and slowly turned to Beato who was now a little more red and had lowered her face. “… I’ll give it to you later then Alexa.”

“Why?” Alexa wanted her smochies! They had promised her smochies! Alexa also wanted to get love! She wanted love!!!!!

“If these two are monopolizing the cheeks, the only spot left are the lips.” Alan said with a shrug, “And I would rather my first kiss go to someone I love in that way.”

“Alan!” Glory suddenly screamed, “You can’t just go around kissing people in the lips! The lips are for Moms to get smochies from Dads!”

“Yeah! Or for Mommas to get smochies from other Mommas!” Beato added nodding, “They never let me watch, but I am sure Momma Elisee smochies Mother Rona like that! I saw it on the tv that when two Mommas love they other very much they smooch like that!”

“See! Even her Mommas smooch!” Alexa pointed out.

“… Her example is that only people who love each other and are committed for life together should kiss in the lips.” Alan pointed out, but Alexa wanted smoochies! “ *Sigh*. Fine, come here.”

Alan sighed once more and walked forward, Glory and Beato were both covering Alexa’s cheeks with one hand and with the other they were covering their faces… they did however, left a spot for their eyes to be able to see what was happening.

Alexa was ready! She would get all the smoochies!

“Here is my kiss for you princess.” And with that said, Alan kneeled in front of Alexa and took one of her hands, what was he going to- *Kiss*

“Huh?” Alexa was surprised and confused.

“Kyaaah!” “Kyaaah!”

Both Glory and Beato screeched while hugging each other and do small little jumps in circles.

“Huh x2?” Alexa was still confused, Alan had smochied her hand… the top of her hand. “Does that count?”

“My lips kissed your skin, so if these don’t count. Then Glory and Beatrice’s kiss wouldn’t count either.” Alan pointed out, the logic was flawless, but even so Alexa felt as if she had lost.

[Notice, it is a kiss. Usually this one is done to show deference to a superior, Subject: Glory Blackthorn and Not Viable Target: Beatrice Starcroft are reacting as this because in common media this is used as a way to showcase the loyalty of a Knight to a Princess.]

“Oh…” Alexa understood now, so Alan was her minion! “Yeah, it makes sense.”

It made absolute sense, if Ale was having an student, then Alexa should at least get her own minion!

“Good Alan.” Alexa approved with a nod, “Alexa accepts your fealty!”

“Kyaaah!” “Kyaaah!” “Hah?”

Alan, Glory and Beato all reacted as they should.

Alexa now had a Knight… But what are you supposed to do with Knights anyway?
