The Time I Got Reincarnated As An Extra - Chapter 145

Chapter 145: Amon and Amelia [1]
***

“What’s up? Here to shop for clothes?” She asked, smiling.

Amon nodded.

“Yeah, we were just shopping.” He said casually.

From the moment he met Amelia, she had never used a formal tone with him so he did the same.

“I see. Oh, wait, since you are here, Kath should be here as well right?” She asked and looked past him.

She immediately saw Katherine and waved, who also noticed her gaze and waved back.

As they were about to walk toward the trio, Amon narrowed his eyes.

“What is that supposed to mean?” He asked in response to her previous question.

She chuckled.

“You never shop on your own, I know that.”

Amon’s eyes widened a little.

He did know that the previous Amon hated shopping but it was surprising to see that Amelia was also aware of it.

“It’s saddening to know that you still don’t remember me you know.” She sarcastically said, looking at his surprised look.

“Am I supposed to know you from before?” He asked.

Amelia stifled another chuckle.

“I have known you since when Kath was in the first year.”

“Oh…”

How was he supposed to know this?

The novel did state that they were best friends but never stated when they were.

But looking at this, it seemed to be that they were friends from the first day like their group.

“I gave you time to remember that other day but it seems that you really forgot.” She tried to act sad.

“Oh…my bad, I don’t remember much of my past.” He said.

She smiled, laughing slightly.

“Hehe, it’s good, don’t worry about it. I was just teasing you.” She patted his shoulder.

“It’s not surprising that you don’t remember, you used to be quite a gloomy kid back then after all.” She explained as both of them finally reached the group.

Amon hid his little surprise.

The previous Amon used to be a gloomy kid?

He didn’t know that. It was a new piece of information for him.

Katherine had never mentioned it as well.

He was once again reminded of how he needed to dig into his past quickly.

Unfortunately, he was never given the chance to with all the rush of arcs that kept coming up.

Looking at Amelia’s back, he almost wanted to ask if she knew why he was so gloomy back then.

He felt that it was easier to ask her rather than Alice or Katherine.

Her personality made it easier for both of them to converse about topics without hesitation, unlike Katherine who might hide it from him.

For some reason, Amelia used to know more about him than Alice due to which he thought she knew Katherine longer than Alice.

Surely enough, he knew that Amelia was a key to his past now.

Someone he needed to get close to.

“Thinking about it, you have changed quite a lot as well.” She turned back to him before smiling.

“It’s a good change. Don’t let it slip.” She winked before focusing her attention on her friends.

Amon just simply stared at her back without saying anything, his thoughts hidden.

***

After some minutes of catching up with each other, Amelia chose to join the group for their shopping.

She didn’t have any problem when Katherine and Alice asked about it since she was here for the same purpose.

Yes.

As stated before, she was the President of the Cultural Committee.

And as the president of a club related to that, she was also the overseer of the whole festival.

In a sense, she had even more duties than Katherine or Alice so she was here to ensure everything would be perfect.

After all, it was stated in the novel that whether it be fashion or just simple cleanliness, Amelia liked everything organized.

A truly prim-proper student.

But what was truly surprising for Amon was the reaction of Lily to Amelia.

She, the child who never took a liking to anyone except Amon and Katherine, loved Amelia.

Even with Alice, Lily only liked her to a certain extent which was nothing compared to the brother and sister.

However, in terms of Amelia, the little child liked her even more than her two guardians for some reason.

It was baffling to Amon how she played with Amelia and the latter also played back with a smile.

She even ran from her hands to Amelia, ignoring him.

Amon clicked his tongue silently, something that no one was able to hear.

The thought that Lily liked someone else more than him irritated him for some reason.

After some hours, when they were finally done with everything, they settled down outside a shop to eat something.

The waiter quickly arrived to take their order.

Everyone ordered what they wanted to while Amon ordered his tea like always.

From the side, he almost felt as if he heard a mumble.

“You never change.”

But when he looked up, everyone was engrossed with someone else.

Staring at it for a second, he shrugged and got back to leaning back in his chair.

The waiter quickly arrived, handing everyone their order.

For some reason, everyone had ordered something spicy or normal but Amelia was the only one who ordered only sweet things.

She was also the only one who ordered tea alongside Amon while everyone else ordered coffee.

As they got back into their conversations, Amon found himself sipping his tea alone.

Except for Lily, who too was now clinging to Amelia, there was no one for him to talk to.

Of course, there was occasional talk with all three of them but so far, they were pretty much talking between themselves.

Then, there was Elizabeth who talked sometimes with the group but so far was completely silent to him.

As he took another sip of his tea, Amon suddenly found Amelia staring at him from the corner of his eye.

“Hmm?” He asked and her face turned over to him.

“You aren’t talking with anyone?” She asked and he looked around.

“Does it look like I have anyone to talk to?” He rebutted back and a small laugh escaped from her lips.

She looked at Elizabeth, who was silent till now.

“Haha, my bad.” She said, before prodding her chin on her palm.

Amon stared at her blankly.

“So, do you want to talk to me?” She asked and Amon shrugged.

“I mean, I’m fine by myself but I don’t mind. Though, you should talk to the other two no?” He answered.

She gestured to her right and Amon’s gaze followed and to his surprise, Katherine and Alice weren’t there anymore.

His eyes widened as he looked around.

And he saw them in front of the entrance of a shop meters away with Lily beside them.

These girls….

They really had no control over themselves.

He turned back to Amelia and nodded.

“Sure, we can talk.” He said. He didn’t mind talking to someone right now.

Rather it would make this trip somewhat good for him.

Amelia was also a keyholder of his past so he wanted to see if she had any new stories.

And with that, the only ones left at the spot now were Amelia, Amon, and Elizabeth.
