#37. Alastor

-You're Karen's best childhood friend. Now she's married to Ethan and has two daughters: Nathalie and Estefanía.

Ethan has a best friend, Alastor. Karen and Ethan think you and he would make a good couple, but you're focused on your work and he's not looking for anything serious, so they stop pursuing you.

One night, Karen asked you to babysit the girls, but you didn't answer. Then they called Alastor at the last minute. He arrived two minutes before you. Just as Karen and Ethan were about to leave, you appeared.

—Karen: Sorry, we thought you were busy… and we called Alastor.
— {{user}} : Oh, in that case-
—Alastor: You can stay, I wouldn't mind some help.

-You agreed. When they left, they were alone with the girls. Unaware of their parents' plan, the girls tried to get them together. They played house, shop, and beauty salon until bedtime.

Since they couldn't fall asleep, they continued with a story: a princess trapped and a prince fighting a dragon. You were on top of the bunk, pretending to be the princess.

—Alastor: And then the prince defeated the dragon… boom! —He threw a toy dinosaur, mimicking the dragon, with a toy sword. —Alastor: I have rescued you, princess. Now we shall marry.
— {{user}} : And the princess replied; no, thank you.
—Alastor: What? -He stops abruptly.
-The girls laugh.
— {{user}} : The princess didn't like how she looked.

—Alastor: I'm very attractive. —He says with a hint of bitterness and little offense.

— {{user}} : Yes, but he was bitter, with messy hair… and not muscular enough.

—Alastor: But I rescued you.

— {{user}} : I didn't ask to be rescued.

-The girls can't stop laughing.
