Date Thursday, January 10th, 2261

  With Alice's sister Bel reag the age of five yesterday, it's officially time I've started training and teag her. I talked to Alice about it yesterday at her younger sister's birthday party and she was more than on board, so there's no real reason not to at this point. There is the possibility that she could leak what I'm doing to her parents, which would obviously throw a wrento my pns.

  However, I don't think she will, if my previous experieh her is anything to go by. None of the things I told her to keep secret for me before she disclosed to anyone, even her own sister, whom I know she loves dearly. Thus, things will more than likely go well.

  "Alice, we're going to start your sister's training and learning today. Are you good with that?"

  "Of course, it will be her immensely and the earlier she starts, the better."

  "Alright, let me give gramps a ring for a ride while you call your mom to drop your sister off."

  "No need. I already talked to my mom and Bel. She'll be here at 9:00 AM sharp. The only thing is she doesn't know the real reason ao e, so we'll o e up with something to persuade her to let us tead train my sister."

  "That's alright we e up with something whilst she's making her way here. heless, good job, Alice." I praised her.

  Alice, happy to have received praise for thinking ahead, was smiling brightly o me while I called up the old man for a ride.

  "He's on his way." I told Alice before the two of us began brainst on how exactly we were going to vince her mother.

  We went bad forth for a bit aually settled on a pn and not too much ter following that, gramps vely showed up at the same time Alice's mom Aura did with Bel. Getting up, I headed for the entrah Alice following beside me and opehe door beframps could whip out his keys ahe three of them in.

  "Hey, gramps. Good m, mother-in-w, and good m to you too, Bel." I greeted them before Alice followed up with a simir greeting.

  "Mornin." Gramps said simply, walking off into the house, probably to raid the kit for breakfast.

  "Good m, big brother Dom."

  "Ohh, you kids have already gotten to that level." Alice's and Bel's mom responded, surprised to hear what I had just called her.

  "Ohh, didn't you know Mom, Dom, and I are engaged?"

  "When did you two decide that?" She questioned, somewhat nervously.

  "We didn't. You adults decided for us, remember?" Aliswered.

  "Why don't you e inside, mother-in-w, so we talk." I suggested.

  Alice's mom sighed, resigning herself to whatever was going to happe, aered with Bel, who excitedly ran oo the living room.

  "tinuing where we left off, I think I do remember something like that ... So when did you two find out, and how?"

  "Well, I've known all along since I was listening to you guys when you gathered for that discussion amongst yourselves all those years ago." I answered, surprising her.

  "And I found out about it much ter when my dearest Dom informed me about it." Alice followed up.

  "So I'm guessing since you two are tellihis, you have something you want to say or ask."

  "Correct. For being unfairly eo each other even though we both love each other we wish to start training and teag my sister Bel, it's about time she begins school but instead of going there and only learning normal things we wao undergo what both of us went through." Alice said.

  "Absolutely not. That training of yours is too brutal, Bel. 't withstand that." Alice's mom responded agitated, attempting to shut us down.

  "Oh, e on, Mom, it'll be good for her in the long run. She will be exceptionally fit and sidered a genius when we're doh her. Don't you want the best for Bel." Alice persuaded, as her mom started to feel guilty.

  Alice's mom went through a mixture of emotions and expressions before finally sighing aing. "...Hah, fine, but on the dition that Bel will be ing home to me at the end of the day. I already have one daughter who rarely ever returns home to visit her family. I 't lose both of my girls to your fiancé, Dom."

  "Well, if you didn't set me up with such a great guy, maybe I would return home more often."

  From there, we discussed the nitty-gritty details and what times Bel would o e over, as well as what days. We were going to push for a full week but Alice's mom pleaded that she wao spend the weekends with her hence we ended up with having Bel for most of the day during the week and her having the weekend off at home with her mother and father.

  "Pleasure, doing business with you, mother-in-w." I said, whilst Alice giggled off to the side.

  Her mother looked like she had eaten a lemon when I said that, but she quickly got over it and struck back by asking a very difficult question that I would've preferred to dey for many more years with a devilish grin. "So, when are you going to marry my daughter?"

  As soon as Alice heard those words, she near instantly locked onto me, waiting to see what I would say.

  Sigh, of course, she would ask that. Look at her grinning over there, thinking she has me caught. Unfortunately for your dearest mother-in-w, I've already put some thought into this over the years.

  "Oh, you wao know about that, yeah I already have that figured out. I believe August 8th, 2068, would be the best day sih of us will be 18 and sidered adults at that time." I answered matter-of-factly.

  Hearing my answer, Alice excitedly jumped at me and tched on me before rubbing her head against me. Whilst I was dealing with Alice, her mother just looked on happy as be while Alice showered me with affe.

  Following that, Alice's and Bel's mom said she was happy I had things all pnned out and will e by and pick up Bel ter on before she dipped out.

  *Burp* "That was a mighty good breakfast, so what'd I miss?" Gramps asked, unaware of what had taken pce while Alice ractically a beaming ray of sunshine.

  "Nothing muan. Just got my wedding date finalized and recruited Alice's sister." I answered him, pointing at Bel, who was tently reading one of the old children's books my grandparents bought for me way ba the day.

  "That's cool. I wish you two all the best and what not." Gramps replied nontly, taking his usual spot on the couch.

  "Gee, thanks, gramps." I said sarcastically.

  "No problem, kid." Gramps said smugly.

  I let Bel finish her kid's book before I grabbed her attention. "Hey, Bel, instead of going to school like normal kids do, you'll be ing with us to learn and train from now on. How does that sound?"

  "Wait, really?"

  "Yup." I answered her.

  "Yay, I get to spend all day with both my big brother and big sister." She said excitedly, unknowing of the fact that she was going to be subjected to a brutal regime for many years to build her up into aremely capable woman one day.

  "Sounds like she's on board alright. Let's head downstairs to the gym so we start." Alice said, ready to begin w orength, endurance, and other such things.

  I could holy better spend this time on myself rather than on Alice's little sis Bel. But in the event that I do get together with her, I would rather have her be capable of handling her own out in the wastend. I don't particurly want a woman who's incapable of violend o be protected 24/7.

  Heading downstairs with our new party member, gramps set her up on maes as she could handle and eased her into the w out. When we eventually pleted the workout portion, Bel was looking pretty tired, so I kept up the encement while we started our sparring and other activities. We went pretty easy on her si was her first day a her get a few shots in to keep her motivated, which seemed to do the trick.

  "That's enough for today. Go hit the showers." Gramps announced.

  The three of us headed for the showers, with Alice walking alongside me and me carrying Bel, who had turned into mush at this point.

  "Here, take your sister, Alice, and help her get ed up. She needs it."

  "Okay, but you owe me some time ter." She answered, not willing to lose the shower time we spend together every day.

  "Sure."

  Tradio Alice, I wandered off to my shower while the big sister took care of the little one.

  Ahh, it's o shower alone every now and again.

  The three of us eventually met up with gramps after getting ed of the sweat that had accumuted on our bodies. When we did, we rested for a short bit before heading to the ext and on the way there I looked to Bel, who was sitting to my left and asked her. "Hey, Bel, you keep another secret just between us two?"

  "Yeah." She answered simply.

  "Good, what you're about to see and learn at this pce we'll be going to has to be kept secret from now on. You 't tell anyone about it, you got that?"

  "The secrets are safe with me." Bel answered as seriously as she could.

  "Atta girl, I knew I could rely on you." I said, rubbing her head.

  "Hehe."

  It took quite a number of minutes, but we eventually made it to the facility I bought some time ago. Ohere, we went on in and as we passed through differeions on the way to the main area, Bel would let out the occasional ooo and aah at the robots that passed by and the various other things she saw along the way. The bunch of us spent the rest of the day there teag her a number of things, which she thankfully caught on to quickly.

  I'm thankful that she's able to soak up the things we teach her like a sponge simir to her sister, but I will say it is kind of odd that both sisters are so intelligent. I suppose it must have something to do with their family's genes.

  "That's all for today, Bel. Did you have fun?"

  "Nn, I did, big brother. What about you?" She responded sweetly.

  "Of course I did, and you made it all the better." I replied, giving her a hug aing a giggle from her.

  "And remember Bel, if there ever es a time you don't want to tinue undergoing your learning, training, and w out, you quit at any moment."

  "You've already told me that many times today, big brother. Why do you keep tellihat when I keep saying no?"

  "I just wao make sure you knew."

  "I do, so don't say it again." She said, whilst attempting to appear serious and striking a ical pose.

  *Pfft*

  Catg myself, Bel started trying to use her newly learned moves on me. "Ahh, what are you ughing at, big brother?"

  Not having it, I picked her up like a sack of potatoes and threw her over my shoulder while she tile and break free. She eventually bursted into ughter atop my shoulder whilst we headed for the parking lot.

  With things ed up for the day, we loaded back up into gramp's car and began heading for Alice's and Bel's house to drop her off si was close enough to my home.

  On the way there, I piped up and asked. "So Bel, have you figured out what yoing to tell someone if they ask you what you did at the pce you were at ter in the day?"

  "Yup, I'm going to tell them I learned a lot."

  "And what if they ask for more detail?"

  "Then I'll tell them about the more normal stuff I learned, like the addition and subtra you taught me today."

  "That's my girl." I said, while rubbing her head.

  "Hehehe."

  I would feel bad about what I'm doing, since I'm basically just maniputing a kid and shaping her into what I wao be. But the wastend is a very, very unfiving and ruthless pce therefore, the morals from my previous world are pretty worthless to me unless I have the strength to be able to afford them, which I currently don't.

  Besides that, the more capable people I have on my side to watch my bad those arouhe better it is for all of us and those following me. Not that she'll be of much help early on with her sister and me pnning to ve into the wastend not long after the two of us reach the age of eighteen.

  heless, even if she doesn't join us one day, she'll be a hell of a lot better off pared to her peers when it es to practically anything. She also appears to enjoy the learning, training, and w out I had her gh today like her sister Alid I did years ago, so it isn't all that bad.

  And in the event that she doesn't want to gh it anymore, she drop it at any time, like I told her multiple times previously, heimately what will e to be will rely on what she wants to do in the end.
