Reincarnated as a step-dad in a fantasy world

Chapter 38 : Mischevious brat

Confusion.

That was the sole emotion on both Alex and Anna's faces after Alice's last remark.

"H-How is that possible? I was using my power all this time she was here," said Anna, not having a clue about what just happened.

Alex was equally baffled.

'How could she have noticed us?,' he thought, before continuing, 'but she clearly saw us, so Anna's power must not work on her. But how can that be? She's a lower level than Anna, so she shouldn't be able to resist...'

"Idiot!" Alex suddenly exclaimed loudly, remembering a crucial fact about Alice and finally understanding how she had spotted them.

'How could I forget this?'

"Are you okay?" Anna asked when she heard him suddenly curse himself while banging his head with his hand.

"Ah, yes, I'm fine," he said before explaining with a sigh, "I just realized how she was able to see us."

"How?" Anna asked, concerned.

"Did you forget about her eyes ?"

Immediately after hearing his question, Anna paled, realizing what he meant.

"I see you've figured it out. With the eyes she possesses, your invisibility power is useless against her."

'How could I forget about her "God's Eyes"?' Alex wondered.

God's Eyes were what people called Alice's eyes because, like the gods who can see everything and nothing can escape their gaze, nothing could be hidden from someone possessing these eyes.

'I remember when she was little; other kids often refused to play hide and seek with her because of her eyes,' chuckled Alex while reminiscing.

Thanks to her eyes, she could find everyone in less than a minute, so the other kids found it no fun playing with her because the games never lasted. At those times, the only one willing to play with her was Alex. That's why he scolded himself when he remembered that she had those eyes. He was the one who comforted her when her eyes became a burden, so how could he forget?

But it wasn't entirely his fault, given the state of excitement he was in; it was understandable.

"Umm... What do we do now that she caught us?" Anna asked cautiously.

"Oh, don't worry about her; she won't tell anyone," Alex said confidently.

'She won't rat me out, no, she will surely use it as blackmail material,' thought Alex, sighing.

"A-Are you sure?" Anna asking for confirmation.

Seeing her worried state, Alex kissed her forehead and said, "Yes, you don't have to worry about a thing."

"Okay," replied Anna before she stood up and dressed herself.

"I will retire for now," she said after getting dressed.

She walked up to the door; however, before she opened it, she felt strong arms hugging her from behind before she could do anything.

"You're leaving without even giving me a kiss," Alex teased in a whisper, his lips lightly pecking her cheek. He then slowly trailed his kisses down to her neck.

When he reached her neck and licked it, a soft moan escaped Anna's mouth.

"S-Stop, we can't continue now," Anna protested.

"Then later?"

"O-Okay."

"Great, see you later," Alex said, giving her a final kiss before releasing her.

Once he was alone, he returned to sit in the chair and thought to himself, "I feel a headache coming my way in the near future."

"Hey, System, do I gain points even if I don't go all the way with a woman?"

[Yes.]

'Just as I thought.'

"Status."

"Hmm... I've earned more than half the points I gained with Lilia. What factors do you consider when assigning these points?"

[There are various factors: the level of the woman in question, the closeness between you and that woman, what kind of sexual activities you engaged in, how immoral that relationship was, how-]

"Okay, okay, I get it. There are several factors at play."

Alex dismissed the screen, got up, and left his office, thinking, 'Let's go see what this mischievous brat wants.'
