Reborn as an Extra - Chapter 167

Chapter 167: An empty smartphone! (Rio x Lia) (Caution- Extra sweet)
Hotel Devalya, Morning, Rio’s Room.

*Ring ring!*

A sudden mobile notification’s sound resounded throughout the room and Lia who was sleeping on the couch, opened her eyes slowly.

“Hnnngggh~” (Lia)

With a cute sound, Lia sat up from the couch and pushed the blanket aside.

‘Hmm, this is?…. Oh yes, we ended up falling asleep while watching TV. Rio must have woken up early… and thus put a blanket on me…’ (Lia)

After eating the dinner made by Rio yesterday night, Both Lia and Rio sat on the couch and enjoyed their free time by snuggling in each other’s arms and watching TV shows.

Rio woke up fifteen minutes earlier and went to take a shower first.

Lia glanced at the bathroom’s closed door and said in a loud voice:

“Rio! You got a notification on your phone!” (Lia)

As Rio was in the shower, Lia had to say it loudly for him to hear it.

After Lia told about it to Rio, the reply came in an emotionless tone.

“Check it for me…” (Rio)

“What is the password?” (Lia)

“Lia is cute” (Rio)

Hearing it, a slight blush appeared on Lia’s face and she said angrily.

“Idiot! I am asking for the password, not for praises! Hmph!” (Lia)

“That is the password…” (Rio)

Hearing Rio’s reply, Lia was speechless.

“Oh, o-okay…” (Lia)

Lia stretched out her hand and grabbed Rio’s smartphone from the nearby table.

‘Hmmm, what was the password again..’ (Lia)

[Liaiscute]

After Lia entered the password, the phone was unlocked and a slight blush appeared on her face.

‘Idiot! Do you really have to find ways to make me embarrassed all the time…’ (Lia)

Being praised like this made Lia quite embarrassed.

Without delay, she clicked on the notification and saw that it was a notification from the academy’s official app.

[All seven students gather in the hotel’s meeting room, I have to discuss some important things with you all.

Principal Raji.]

‘Oh, it’s from principal Raji… wait! If Rio got the notification, I must have gotten it too!’ (Lia)

Lia hurriedly grabbed her phone and checked the notifications. Sure enough, she had received it too, her phone was on ‘silent mode’ due to which it didn’t ring.

Just then Rio walked out of the bathroom and asked in his usual emotionless tone:

“What is it about?” (Rio)

“Oh, it’s from principal Raji, she wants us all to gather in the meeting room and-” (Lia)

“Hmm, and?” (Rio)

Lia’s whole face turned red when she glanced behind her and found that Rio was standing there shirtless, his well-defined muscles and abs looked breathtakingly good.

Although Rio had an ordinary-looking face, his well-defined body and the wet hairs from the shower, made him look like a handsome ‘model’ at the moment.

The sunshine fell on his face and made his dark black eyes shine like gems. (Even ordinary-looking people can look handsome at certain times…)

“Idiot! Perv! Why are you not wearing anything!? T-this this! Perv!” (Lia) (He is wearing his shorts so it’s safe…)

Lia covered her face with her small hands but kept peeking from between her fingers.

In a panic, she immediately jumped away from the couch to make some distance from Rio.

At Lia’s reaction, Rio just tilted his head in confusion.

Since it was an everyday thing for Rio to take a shower and get out shirtless, he didn’t understand what the big deal was. He said in his usual emotionless tone:

“It’s nothing that surprising though, you have seen me shirtless already, haven’t you?” (Rio)

(He is talking about the time when Liam blew that huge magic explosion in the group survival test and Rio was sent to the healer’s office. Lia had seen him shirtless during that time as she was sitting beside him while he was there…)

“No! th-this is different! …How long are you going to stand there!? Go and wear something!” (Lia)

Lia grabbed a pillow from the couch and threw it at Rio’s face as if she was protesting like a child.

The pillow hit Rio on the face directly and fell back on the couch. (He didn’t dodge it, because it was interesting to see Lia protest like a kid…)

“Okay okay I am going… no need to get so excited just because you saw your boyfriend naked…” (Rio)

While saying that Rio walked towards the bedroom to wear his clothes.

“I am not excited! Perv! Hmph!” (Lia)

Just when Rio was about to close the door he tilted his head back and asked in a teasing tone.

“Wanna come in and have a look?” (Rio)

“No! Pervert! Go away!” (Lia)

Before Lia could throw another pillow at him Rio closed the door and escaped her death stares.

*Clank*

Seeing that Rio finally closed the door, Lia heaved a sigh of relief. Her face still had a blush on it though.

She slumped back on the couch and started to do a thorough check-up on Rio’s phone.

‘This is the first time I am looking through a boy’s phone like this… w-what if he had some questionable pictures saved in it!?’ (Lia)

Although Lia was hesitant at the start, she decided that this was the perfect time and that such a rare opportunity may not come again. (She thinks too much, Rio will give his phone to her anytime if she asks for it…)

…

After a few seconds of searching Lia had determined one thing from Rio’s mobile.

“How can someone’s phone be so empty!? How can someone be this boring!?” (Lia)

Rio’s phone had only two contact numbers, one was hers and the other was Link’s. There weren’t any more contact numbers on the phone no matter how she looked at it.

Aside from the academy’s official app and a music app, there were literally no downloaded apps on the phone except these two.

In a desperate effort, Lia opened the photos and found them empty too. Rio didn’t even have a single ‘selfie’ on his phone. This also explained why his wallpaper was the default one too.

‘This…’ (Lia)

Lia was speechless. She had no idea if she should feel happy or sad about this matter.

“Idiot, you could have at least taken a picture of me…” (Lia)

With a blush on her face, Lia opened the camera clicked a selfie of herself, and set it up as the wallpaper.

‘What am I even doing…’ (Lia)

When compared to Rio’s empty phone, Lia’s phone was filled with Rio’s photos that she secretly took while sneaking around him all over the academy.

Just when Lia was feeling embarrassed, a teasing voice whispered in her ears.

“Oh, thanks for the souvenir, I will make sure to enjoy it in my free time…” (Rio)

Hearing Rio’s teasing voice, Lia hurriedly jumped aside and said in a shocked tone:

“What do you mean you will enjoy it in your free time!? And how long have been standing there!?” (Lia)

Rio just shrugged his shoulders at Lia’s question.

“I just came back and since were clicking pictures I thought it might not be a good idea to disturb you…” (Rio)

“I-is that so…a-and what you gonna do with the picture…” (Lia)

“I will stare at it in my free time of course… what else do you think I will do?” (Rio)

“N-nothing…” (Lia)

While Rio looked at Lia in confusion, she dodged his eyes in embarrassment.

“By the way, you can take the shower here, I won’t peep I promise…” (Rio)

“N-no, I will go back to my room…” (Lia)

“sigh~ I guess I will have to peep some other time then…” (Rio)

“You were going to peep after all!!” (Lia)

Rio shrugged his shoulders and replied:

“Why not? It’s the ‘fundamental right’ of a caring boyfriend to check on his girlfriend from time to time to ensure if she is okay…” (Rio)

Hearing Rio’s remarks, Lia felt like she was being deceived.

“The logic is true but, I feel like you are justifying your crimes…” (Lia)

“No way, admiring your girlfriend’s beauty can’t be a crime, its called love, my dear…” (Rio)

Seeing Rio justifying his ‘right’ to peep at her while she was taking a bath made Lia speechless.

“I-in any case, I am going back to my room now, need to get ready, the principal is waiting for us you know…” (Lia)

“Sigh~ the path of love is difficult to walk on…” (Rio)

Ignoring Rio’s remarks, Lia hurriedly escaped from the room. She felt that if she didn’t escape on time, she would have been coerced by Rio’s deceiving words.

…

What Lia didn’t know was that if Rio really wanted, he could have overpowered the mana detection blocking devices of this hotel and used his strong mana detection skill to easily peep at her in 3d vision.

‘Cough! I am a law-abiding and honest citizen, I shouldn’t do something like that… but one look might not hurt… cough! No no what am I thinking…’ (Rio)

When it comes to Lia, Rio’s brain seems to start functioning in a totally different way.

‘It seems I have been corrupted by the same brain-damaging love virus, like Link… sigh~’ (Rio)

Author’s Notes.

Yo! It’s your beloved author here! OKAY! Here comes a new chapter filled with diabetes and love.

(Speaking from experience, the author fainted three times while writing this…)

Question of the day.

Would you be able to give your phone to others with such confidence as Rio?

1. Yes (Well if it’s empty like Rio’s what is there to hide then?)

2. No (What if they ran away with my phone! I can’t live without my phone!)

3. Others (Tell me in the comments.)
