The Time I Got Reincarnated As An Extra

250  Playing Games with Her [3]

***

Amon was left completely astonished, his mouth agape.

His trembling gaze was focused on the figure in front of the table, as she swung her arm with precision and accuracy.

Her handle hit the puck as it went swerving across the board, with Amon instantly trying to hit it.

But at the last very moment, it grazed the edge of the board, suddenly changing its course completely.

And in the next moment, it went through the goal, making a loud sound occur from behind.

Left speechless and out of breath, Amon turned around, gazing at the score with wide eyes.

"N-no way."

The score was 15-9.

But unlike one would expect, 15 wasn't Amon.

Rather, it was the winish-red female who smiled in joy as she gazed at the score, winning the game from Amon by 6 points.

Amon, not able to articulate any response, turned around with shock in his whole body, his eyes locking with Amelia.

"You.."

Amelia raised her arm holding the puck in joy.

"Let's go, I won this game as well!" She squealed with joy.

The 'as well' phrase reminded Amon of another trauma.

The previous games they had played…

Yes, this wasn't the only game Amelia had taken the W from him.

Rather, Amon wasn't able to believe in the game score displayed on his watch.

Even though he was ahead….

24-23.

Disbelief was evident in every piece of his body as he gazed at the score.

There was still a game left but..

Amon turned around, walking up to Amelia and not being able to take it anymore

Amelia gazed at him with confusion and concern, wondering if something was wrong.

"Is everything okay Amon?" She said with some hurried breaths as her hair clung to her skin, sweat framing her face.

It was the same for Amon as well, who was gasping and had his clothes sticking to him,drenched in sweat.

Both of them had even removed their coats in the heat of the games.

Amelia was clearly loving the games, the joy in her tone and eyes clearly showed it.

And it was the same for Amon, who had never been pushed this much over the edge in games.

Both of them were in too much heat, jumping from one game to another.

And each game brought up even more confusion in Amon as Amelia decimated her way through.

"You…" He said.

Amelia tilted her head in confusion.

"Wasn't this the first time you were supposed to play these games!?" He asked with widened eyes, unbelieving eyes.

Amelia gave him a light slow nod before another smile spread on her face.

"Yeah, and I'm loving it. They are so much fun!"

Amon was momentarily caught off guard by her breathtaking smile and enjoyment in her voice, forgetting what he was supposed to say.

But he quickly shook his head and dwarfed off such thoughts.

"Then how do you explain this!?" He showed the score on their watches where they had set their bets as well.

Amelia was clearly either joking or trolling with the fact that she hadn't played games or…

She was a generational talent in these things.

It made a little sense when you looked at it from the sense that such types of things were her forte.

But it was still too much.

For even Alya who had been coming to such spots as a child and was a master at it, she had never been even able to come close to beating Amon.

Let alone doing so in her first time playing.

Amelia, who still couldn't seemingly understand what he was saying, looked at him with an innocent look.

"What do you mean?" She asked, curiosity in her tone.

Amon wanted to slap himself in the forehead. This girl didn't even know what she was doing but was giving him a run for his money.

He wanted to say that this type of moves and plays aren't normal at all but he knew that the girl in front of him wouldn't understand.

Releasing a sigh, he chose to just let it go and move to their final game.

"Nevermind, let's just move to the final game. Congrats for beating me on this one though." He gave her a sincere smile.

Amelia smiled with pride.

"Hehe, thanks." She said, turning to move towards their final game.

A smirk came upon Amon's face as he gazed towards their final game.

"Unfortunately though, you are going to lose miserably in the final one."

A flicker of playful curiosity passed through Amelia's amber golden eyes at his words.

"Ohhh, show me then." She asked.

Amon nodded, starting to move towards the final game.

But just as they were walking through the area, Amelia suddenly stopped behind him.

Realizing the stopping of her footsteps, Amon looked behind with intrigue.

Only to see Amelia's gaze focused on another thing on their side.

Turning, Amon saw a booth in the distance with some curtains drawn around it.

It took him no time to realize it, knowing it from the previous world as well.

Looking at some example photos of students outside that came there before, Amon knew why Amelia was intrigued now.

It was probably because looking at it now, she was probably wishing for it to come here with her friends or Arthur and Athena some time.

His gaze turned back to her, who was just about to turn back to their path,

Gazing up in thought for a second, Amon contemplated over something.

Before a smile spread on his face and he turned.

Amelia, who had started walking again and was gazing down collided with his chest.

Her high heels nearly threw her off balance by the sudden recoil but Amon's arm quickly grabbed her.

He quickly gave her hand a pull, swerving her back to her feet.

Amelia's cheeks slightly flushed at the move but Amon's next words caught her off guard.

"Let's go to the photo booth." He said, still not letting go of her hand as he pulled her.

"Eh?" Amelia was taken by surprise, still disoriented a little by the fall and his sudden change of plans.

It was only after that she realized what happened that she spoke up.

"But what about the final game?" She asked.

Amon smiled.

"Let's just do it sometime else."

"Oh, okay." Amelia nodded in understanding before a smile appeared on her face as well.

Taking a few steps to catch up to him, they finally reached the stall where a female lady was standing.

"Welcome to the photo booth, do you two want to take photos together?" She asked with a polite professional smile.

Amon nodded.

"How much will it be?" He asked her.

The manager nodded.

"It will be 10 Exlo for one single session and 20 Exlor for a duo session." She said.

Amon nodded, not minding the price at all.

But just as he was about to hand the money over, the manager spoke up again.

"But since you two are a couple, we can take a variety of style of photos for an extra 10 Exlor as well." She said, a scheming smile on her face as she gave him the offer. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

For a moment, Amon was confused by the manager.

Why was she thinking of them as a couple?

But it was only after he followed her gaze that he realized why.

Amon and Amelia were still holding hands as the former had forgotten to let it go after arriving.

"Couple? Huh, n-no we aren-" Amelia immediately panicked as her cheeks flushed at the two being called a couple.

But rather than explaining it to the manager, Amon chose to just let it go and agree.

It would also allow her to tease her again.

"Alright, we'll take that 'couple' session." He intentionally put emphasis on couples.

Amelia reddened as her hand instinctively squeezed his hand from embarrassment, as if she wanted to hide away in a corner.

An enjoying smile spread on Amon's lips as he looked at her.

He still remembered the first time they had met and many other times that followed.

That playful nature of her and her dialogues often caught him off guard, throwing him into an embarrassing spiral.

It felt good to get payback finally now. He had relished in every moment that he saw her being red from shyness today.

But even aside from that, he liked this shy Amelia.

Seeing her speechless made him think of her as…

"Cute." He said lightly, as he squeezed her hand back and pulled her in, thinking that she hadn't heard the word.

But unfortunately for him, Amelia had heard it loud and clear due to standing close to him.

And it only served to redden her even more.

But underneath that shyness and hiding her face from him was a happy smile on her face as she headed inside.

Just like Amon, she was enjoying it as well.

Every moment of it.

A happy chuckle even escaped out of her mouth as she headed inside.

The embarrassing moment of Amon calling her cute and them a couple replayed in her mind but it didn't just make her shy.

It brought up another feeling in her as well.

It made her feel joyous for some reason.
