The Time I Got Reincarnated As An Extra - Chapter 61

Chapter 61: A Quest To Save Lily [3]
****

Charlotte was wearing a milky white sleeveless blouse along with a knife-pleated skirt.

Her cerulean hair gently cascaded down her back and her sky-blue eyes shone like sapphires with the mall’s lighting.

“Would you like to order something first?” She asked.

Not finding a problem with it, he picked up the menu and quickly called a waiter from nearby.

“I’ll have a cold lemonade and some sandwiches please.” She pointed to the waiter and he nodded before turning to him.

Since he had already eaten breakfast not long ago, he chose to go with a simple cup of black tea.

“I’ll have a cup of black tea with 2 sugar please.” He told the waiter and the latter nodded without a word, before leaving.

Turning back to Charlotte, he noticed that she was looking at him in surprise.

He tilted his head.

“If you don’t mind me asking, but you drink tea in this hot weather?” She asked, her blue eyes tinged with surprise.

He wasn’t surprised at her question. It was a normal one.

Not many people would have tea in this heat. Preferring to go with a lemonade or something else instead like Charlotte.

However, in his case, he was a teaholic.

In his past life as well, he loved tea more than anything.

Though he wanted to have it in breakfast here as well, he was often late for his campus so he didn’t bother with it.

He nodded to Charlotte and smiled lightly.

“Haha, I just prefer tea over anything else. That’s just my preference you see.”

Her mouth contorted to an ‘o’ shape and an ‘Ah’ escaped out of her mouth.

She understood that he was one of those kind of people.

While waiting for their order, Charlotte quickly asked him.

“I actually called you here to talk about the FULLDIVE match. Is it okay?”

He chuckled a little.

“I mean it was obvious that you called me here for that, so please go ahead. Ah but before that, I would like to congratulate you on winning us the match. That was truly a spectacular effort.” He applauded.

She smiled and nodded.

“Yes! Thank you. I’m happy that our hard work worked even though the strategy messed up in the middle. If I was just a second late, the win would have gone to Princess Alya.”

He nodded and she continued.

“I wanted to call us all for a small gathering but it seems Klein is busy for a while so I could only call you out. So please, whatever you want to eat, go ahead. It’s all on me.” She gestured towards the menu.

Amon quickly raised his hands to refuse.

“Ah, there’s no need for that. Rather, it should be me who needs to give a treat to Miss Charlotte for playing the most important part.”

She lowered her head and shook it.

“Ah, you are wrong in that Amon. All I did was just traverse through the forest and beat one person. Actually, I should be applauding you for winning against a person 2 ranks above you.” She looked at him with genuine surprise.

“How did you do it? I mean….” Her voice trailed off at the end, not wanting to make him feel as if she was mocking him.

He smiled lightly.

“It was just simply hard work Miss Charlotte.”

She leaned back in her chair at his response.

Her surprise diminished but it was still there. Of course, she knew it was a lie or more probably, a vague answer.

As a person who understood hard work the most, she knew even by training day and night you could not get to that stage.

Especially for a person who has been stuck on 1st leaf for years now without any advancement and suddenly grows this strong.

She knew it was probably something else but she didn’t force her question further.

She just wanted to ask one time if he would tell her and since with this answer, he was signaling her it was something important, she was going to leave it at that.

It was none of her business to choke the answer out of him.

Finally, their order arrived and both of them started to have a normal lunch while discussing what happened in the FULLDIVE.

[After 30 Minutes]

Amon finally separated from Charlotte after they both had talked enough.

She still needed to do shopping and he told her that he had some work to do.

So after shaking hands and telling her that it was a pleasure to be in a team with her, he left her and headed straight for his destination.

The HOU.

There were still 20 minutes left, so he wasn’t late. Rather, it would be beneficial to arrive early.

Athena appreciated those who arrived early and for today’s plan to work, he needed her in a good mood.

Arriving in front of HOU, he quickly headed in, finding the manager waiting for him already at the desk.

“Welcome Sir! I take it that you are here for the items?” The manager asked.

By ‘items’ he probably meant the anonymous deal, but since he couldn’t say it out loud and give his identity, he used a code word.

Amon nodded and the manager quickly gestured to follow.

But unlike last time, he took him to a more secure and better room which was better enforced and structured.

Entering the room, he elegantly sat down on the sofa and manager closed the door.

“Please wait here, Ma’am Athena will be here with you shortly sir.” He bowed and Amon nodded again, causing him to politely open the door and leave.

Once gone, Amon quickly started checking the preparations for everything and rehearsing the plan he had made for today.

Athena was a clever and smart woman. He needed to be extremely careful with his approach.

After making sure everything was correct, he silently sat at his spot while looking around until the time finally reached 1 PM.

Instantly, the sound of a doorknob turning was heard and Amon’s gaze instantly flickered towards it.

And as it fully opened, she finally came into view.

Athena Silvermoon, the Vice-headmaster of Eldergrove was here.
