Vampire's Slice Of Life Chapter 615 Alea's Dumb Adventures

Chapter 615 Alea's Dumb Adventures

Elven Castle.

Looking at his phone, Lith had a happy smile on his face despite the interaction with his ladies being short.

"I should commend Lucy for her efforts, but…" Lith shook his head with a smile. "...the criteria to decide was who would reply first. So it means, Emmy wins."

Looking at Lucy's chatbox, Lith said apologetically, "Sorry big sis, it is what it is." 

Having decide whom he would take on a date, Lith put his phone back in the ring and went out of the courtyard to take a nap.

*

A month pa.s.sed.

Lith closely monitored the High Elf houses while also running around in the castle and acting as Agalea's aide.

Being an aide was a hectic job. Lith had to run around constantly doing multiple checks, rescheduling, and communicating between the n.o.bles and the Queen.

In this one month he realized just how important the role of an aide was and couldn't help but be grateful for having Luna as his maid who did everything he asked her to.

There was fascination for this job within him and he could only wonder how much more hectic things would be for Freya and Qingyue. 

In one month, Lith's relationship with Agalea and Alea both improved greatly. He became much closer to them and was now in a spot where he could freely talk with them without having a cold or reserved att.i.tude like before.

With Agalea, Lith kept his talks work related during the day when he was doing his job as her aide and at night, he would discuss things with her as her nephew on topics related to family or ask her opinion on things.

As for Alea, everyday, he found her seemingly more adorable.

She was a ball of wholesomeness that emitted her happy radiance wherever she went. Her mental age, body, and personality were all out of sync however, and this brought out a chaotic mixture of goodness that Lith looked forward to everyday.

Alea did dumb things throughout the day when alone. She didn't have anyone she could play with, so she would find her happiness in random little things and keep herself busy with it.

For example, one time Lith saw Alea sitting down in the corner of a courtyard in the castle. He wondered what she was doing and went close to check up on her.

Alea was squatting down and sprinkling sugar on the ground, trying to see and imagine how things would be for the ants.

When Lith questioned her about it, Alea made Lith understand whatever she had learnt from this interaction.

Lith was made to imagine food falling down from the sky. Not normal size, but abnormally huge and gigantic city sized food.

This made Lith feel weird but then Alea made him picture him standing on top of a mountain, only for the mountain to be an onigiri or triangle shaped rice ball wrapped in seaweed.

Not only did Alea make him imagine that, she also made him dig inside the rice ball mountain in his imagination and reach to the middle part where there was a lot of rice ball filling such as salmon, umeboshi, and so on.

Lith wouldn't lie, he was pretty amazed by Alea's skill to have him so vividly picture things. It was as if he was living in the moment.

That day, Lith ended up gobbling down fifty rice b.a.l.l.s with various different fillings, in secret.

Another instance of Alea's dumb adventure was when she was walking in the hallways of the castle, eating bananas and throwing the peels randomly.

When Lith saw her and asked what she was doing, Alea explained that she wanted to test whether people actually slipped when stepping on the peels or was it just a hoax in tv shows.

Such high IQ talks was not something Lith could handle and he quietly left that day, leaving Alea to do what she wanted to do.

One more instance of Alea's dumb adventure was her quietly sitting around a pond in one of the courtyards of the castle.

At first glance, Lith didn't find anything odd but upon closer look, from behind, she seemed to be shaking something vigorously.

Lith being Lith, immediately thought of something dirty when looking at her, but then he cursed himself for thinking of such things as Alea was a very pure girl and secondly, she didn't have a rod with her that she could shake.

Lith went closer to see what she was doing as curiosity got the better of him.

Once he reached her spot, he saw Alea rubbing oil on a puppy's feet. It was a golden retriever puppy that wasn't golden, but snow white, and from the looks of it, the poor guy was clearly not happy with whatever was happening to him.

When Lith asked what Alea was doing, she happily explained that she wanted to test something.

When asked what it was, Alea answered that oil's density was a lot less than water, due to which it floats on it.

So she wanted to see if this puppy would be running on water when applied oil on his feet or would he sink or maybe float.

Lith was dumbfounded and took the puppy away from Alea, saving the poor child from the cruelty of a bored elf.

He then properly explained to Alea that she was applying the wrong concept on things.

Oil did float on water because it was less dense, but it wasn't the entire truth.

Oil was a hydrophobic substance, meaning its molecular arrangement is such that it doesn't allow water to pa.s.s through it and have it be separated. 

But despite the hydrophobic nature, whatever that floats or sinks also totally depends on ma.s.s and density meaning that if she did let the puppy on water, it would sink because puppy has more ma.s.s and volume.

However, despite the puppy sinking, his feet where oil was applied wouldn't be wet because oil was hydrophobic.

Alea was amazed knowing this and really wanted to see if what Lith had said was true or not.

Lith immediately ran away from that place hearing that. He took the puppy along because he didn't want the poor guy to face such cruelty. 

Alea obviously didn't stay quiet and ran behind him.

And so began a game of tag between Alea and Lith.

To keep the puppy safe from Alea's evil clutches, Lith now roamed around with him in the castle and did his job as an aide.

The puppy followed Lith everywhere as well and unknowingly, Lith had gotten himself a beast companion, a pretty cute one if one were to say.

Thus, for days, a vampire and a puppy roamed the Elven Castle, managing the entire administration.

Lith and the puppy were now on their way to the Queen's office.

The day had just begun and Lith had to give Agalea her schedule.

Reaching outside the office door, Lith, holding files in his hand, squatted down and instructed the puppy,

"Stay. I'll be back in a few minutes, okay?" 

"Woooo…" the puppy made a sad noise. It didn't want to be separated from Lith, was what it was conveying.

But the truth was, the puppy was afraid of being caught by Alea and didn't want to be away from Lith.

Of course, Lith wouldn't fall for such cute gestures…

"No… don't make that face!" 

Or would he? 

"WoooOoOooOoo…" the puppy rolled around and looked at Lith with a sad expression.

Lith's will began to shake. He clenched his fist and said while closing his eyes, "argh… control Lith. This is nothing. Don't fall for it. You're a strong, n.o.ble vampire. Don't fall for such cute gestures… don't—"

The puppy made its way to Lith's feet and circled around him and rubbed its head. 

"Wooo!" He cutely woofed to get Lith's attention.

"d.a.m.n it!" Lith's will broke. 

He picked up the puppy and looking him in the face, "You, do you understand that I can kill you without even lifting my finger?" 

"Woof! Woof!" The puppy took out his tongue and smiled happily while wagging its tail.

"Ugh." Lith put him at his side and went inside, not wanting to bother himself anymore.

As a show of goodwill, he spared the puppy from Alea's evil claws, but now it would not leave him alone and so he was stuck with him.

In any case, the puppy wasn't a bother and so, along with him, he went inside Agalea's office.

Opening the door and getting inside, he saw Agalea sitting on her chair and working.

Agalea, looking at Lith walk in with files on side and a puppy on the other, couldn't help but chuckle and ask,

"Defeated again by the puppy?" 

Lith rolled his eyes. "Don't even ask me, aunt—"

"Your Majesty." Agalea cut him off and shook her finger.

"Right, right." Lith nodded. It wasn't night and he wasn't her nephew right now but her aide.

Walking upto her desk and putting down the files, he said, "Your schedule for today, Your Majesty." 

Agalea smiled and opening the file, said, "let's see what we have today."
