The Time I Got Reincarnated As An Extra

Chapter 146: Amon and Amelia [2]



***

"I just remembered but, it's your familiar ceremony the day after tomorrow isn't it?" Amelia asked.

Amon nodded.

"Yeah, it is."

"Take it easy, don't worry about it and good luck." She wished him luck and he subtly smiled.

"Thanks, though I hope my luck pays off." He sipped his tea.

Amelia smiled and leaned closer.

"Hehe - Don't worry about it, you can beat Dad's requirement."

Amon's eyes widened as he stumbled to control himself.

This girl...

He knew she was getting close so that Elizabeth wouldn't know about the deal but still...

What's more surprising and not surprising at the same time was Arthur telling Amelia.

The surprising part was that Arthur hadn't expected it to tell anyone.

But the non surprising part was then again that it was Amelia, his daughter that he treasured with his life.

it made sense that she'd know about it.

Amon controlled himself.

"Welp, only time will tell."

Amelia nodded.

"Yup, also speaking about events, you know about the cultural festival coming up right?"

Amon nodded, looking at Amelia who had a spark in her golden eyes.

She really loved culture and fashion.

"Nice, do you intend to participate in it?" she asked and Amon looked at his tea, pondering.

In all honesty, he didn't really have problems participating in any activity.

"How many can a person do at max?" He asked her and she replied back instantly. "4."

Hmmm...

It was easy enough to choose.

He could take part in cooking, music, maybe some sports and another one...

"Yeah, I'll participate." He told her. There was no downside in it so why not?

Amelia nodded with a smile.

"Great, our club will also do a circus and magical show, so if you want to, feel free to check it out." She told him and he nodded.

He was reminded that Amelia's element was [Blood], just like him.

But her element was a [Maker] type rather than him.

Not only that, but she was probably the strongest [Blood] user student on the campus right

now.

Because of that element, it wasn't surprising to imagine her doing tricks with it.

He would check it out if he had time.

If he could find ways to better utilize [Blood] from her then he was all in.

Just as Amelia was about to continue, a voice was finally heard beside them.

"Excuse me."

Amon turned along with Amelia, his eyes filled with surprise.

It was Elizabeth. She had finally spoken.

"Aren't you too close?" She said to Amelia.

Amon finally snapped into focus and also saw that Amelia was quite close to him.

It was probably because of the excitement in the upcoming festival.

***

Elizabeth couldn't get the scene of that day out of her head.

The warm touch of his lips on her forehead...

The light breeze and his face.

It was all engraved in her mind like paint on a canvas.

At that time, she had been so shocked that she found herself unable to say anything for a whole minute.

It felt so unreal to her.

But at the same time, she felt as if a part of her exploded in happiness.

She couldn't describe it but it was like a flame was burning inside her, burning away any semblance of rationality within her.

It was because of this that she ran away from there.

It wasn't something she wanted to do.

It was something that her body subconsciously did, afraid that she might just run wild if her inner emotions were to leak there.

And running away from there...

Was something she regretted afterwards the whole day.

She wanted to run back. Back to that moment to fix it.

But it was impossible...

So she built up her mind to confront him the next day.

But when she met him in the academic block the next day, she was left shocked at something.

Even when her eyes met his, to her, it was like the previous day was repeating again.

The world stopped moving for her, as if they were the only two standing there.

Heat rose to her cheeks.

But fortunately, this time she managed to keep herself straight.

Which was why she realized something.

Even when her emotions were a mess when she saw him, his emotions...

They were completely calm, standstill.

She knew that she couldn't see his emotions because of the void.

But even so, when he experienced a rise in emotions or anything related, she could see the

conflict waves in his emotional sea.

But this time...

They were normal, no change or rise in them.

A certain part of her was even disheartened.

Did what he did yesterday have no effect on him?

She didn't make useless assumptions about him.

She wasn't someone to doubt him for it or hold it for long as well.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

But for someone who was used to reading those fantasy stories, it left her a little...

Disheartened?

She didn't know.

Just that every time she saw his calm sea of emotions, it threw her into a messy array that she

was never able to come out of.

It was because of this that she was unable to control her actions around him.

She was unable to sort out her thoughts and even though Amon asked her about it multiple times, that stoic gaze always replayed that memory back in her head.

Because of that, the only way for her was to seal her interactions with him until she could sort

it out.

But today, she was left surprised once again.

It was the interaction between Amelia and Amon.

When they were walking toward them from the corner of the shop...

She saw it.

That surprised look on his face and that rise in emotions.

She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had last seen it.

But not only that but also their further interactions.

She saw Amelia elicit more reactions out of him than she saw him displaying towards her in a

month.

That irritated glance.

And even when talking, how Amelia and he were so engrossed in their conversation.

How he even subtly smiled at her questions and responses.

How she was getting close to him.

It just felt...

uncomfortable.

Hell with it, she thought.

She finally caved into herself.

She wanted him to notice him as well.

Wasn't she sitting there as well?

Yes, it was her fault for running away but she wanted him to give her more attention.

It felt uncomfortable to her. That distance between Amelia and Amon.

And not being able to bear it anymore, she spoke up.

"Aren't you too close to him?" She gestured with her eyes.
