Chapter 17: Girls 5
Alex entered the library and was shocked by what he saw. This "library" looked nothing like a typical one.
Firstly, books were scattered all around the room, and secondly, the place resembled a laboratory more than a library. There were vials containing strange substances everywhere, some even contained animal parts.
"But what is she doing in this room?" Alex wondered, taking in the scene.
"I'm upstairs," a voice called from the second floor.
Alex made his way upstairs, carefully avoiding the piles of books blocking the staircase. As he ascended, he found a young woman engrossed in something that looked like a microscope.
"Uhh... Scarlett?"
"Who else could it be but me?" Scarlett replied.
"What did you do to your hair?"
Scarlett paused her work and turned to face Alex, leaving him momentarily breathless.
What Alex witnessed was a young woman of striking beauty, with long violet strands gracefully cascading down her back. Her captivating eyes were of an intense red, like two drops of blood, seemingly piercing the very soul of anyone who gazed into them.
The glasses she wore enhanced her charm and accentuated her beauty. They perched on her nose, giving her a natural symmetry of her face.
Her figure was both alluring and elegant, with breasts that were well-proportioned, beautifully round, and remarkably firm.
She was wearing a blouse that wasn't buttoned all the way to the top, revealing a portion of her breasts. Alex wasn't completely certain, but he was convinced that she was completely nude underneath that blouse.
unintentionally for several seconds after Scarlett turned around the only thing Alex was looking at was her breasts protruding from the blouse.
It was only when he started to feel excited that he realized what he was doing.
'Snap out of it, you moron' Alex thought to himself when he sensed the situation was getting weird.
"Why are your hairs violet ?" Alex asked, trying to divert the attention from the recent awkward moment.
Scarlett, having noticed the desire in Alex's eyes when he looked at her, simply smiled before responding to his question.
"Oh, this? It was just a failed experiment, but the upside is that my hair color is different from Mom's now. Don't you like it?"
"Uh, yeah, I do. It's just that I didn't recognize you with this hair color," Alex stammered. Just like Viviane, Scarlett had red hair like Lilia, which is why Alex hadn't recognized her when he saw her from behind.
Scarlett continued, "So, dear father, what brings you to my chamber? It's been months since the last time you visited me."
Alex's lips twitched when he heard Scarlett refer to the library as her chamber, but he didn't say anything.
Before he could respond, Scarlett asked another question, "Were you able to figure out how to activate the artifact you showed me?"
Apart from his friend Felix and himself, Scarlett was the only one aware of the artifact's existence. He had brought it to her for research and to learn how to activate it.
After realizing that it would take her several days or even months to figure it out, Scarlett had given him some hint she had discovered on how to activate it, then sent him on his way.
"Yeah, I was able to activate it," Alex replied. He trusted Scarlett not to reveal his secret. He knew Scarlett was generally too absorbed in her experiments to engage in gossip or idle talk, which she considered a waste of time.
So, he was confident she wouldn't inform anyone else unless he gave her permission. Plus, given her maturity from a young age, Alex had always talked to Scarlett as more of a friend than just a daughter.
'Now that I think about it, my relationships with the girls are all quite different,' Alex pondered.
Indeed, his relationship with each of the girls was unique. Viviane was a daddy's girl who mimicked his habits and routines. Alice, on the other hand, constantly teased him, and her jokes sometimes pushed the boundaries between father and daughter, occasionally bordering on the suggestive.
Violette seemed to hold some grudge against him for reasons he couldn't fathom.
Lastly, Scarlett had an unusual and somewhat bizarre relationship with him. She came across more as a friend than a daughter.
They had discussed things together that he probably shouldn't have discussed with a daughter, and the feeling was mutual. Sometimes Scarlett talked to him as if he were a friend rather than her father.
While Alex was lost in contemplation about his relationships with his daughters, Scarlett responded with a surprised look, "Oh, really? So, what does it do?"
"Just as I thought, it allows me to increase my strength without any side effects," Alex replied.
Hearing this, Scarlett's eyes lit up like lanterns, and she quickly approached Alex, exclaiming, "Really? Let's try it!"
