July 3, Monday, late afternoon

Amon returned to the university with Barbara. They also received messages from Ariel and the twins saying they would be back later in the day. When they arrived, they got a few acknowledging looks, however, although some came to talk to them about it various things, it wasn’t so bad that it wasted a lot of time.

After returning to the dorm, Amon took a shower and changed his clothes. Once he was settled he took out his wristwatch and looked at the holographic screen that stretched out in front of him.

Notification: You have been added to the group: Partners in Crime Group

Arching a frown, he unlocked the screen and opened the group chat.

– Partners in Crime –

(Troop Leader) Ariel: Welcome everyone~~

(Scarlet) Barbara: Crime? What are you insinuating about me?~

(A Sweet Girl) Maisa: Since when did I commit a crime? No, I never did, I’m a good person!

(Danadinha) Julia: I don’t think anyone found out that I was the one who put recyclable garbage in a non-recyclable garbage can, did they?

(Troop leader) Ariel: @(Danadinha), Shishishi… I know everything! I saw everything, all your crimes were seen by this lady. Now you have no way to escape and you will be part of my group of crimes, Shishishi!

(Naughty) Júlia: It can’t be… Poor me, poor me…

(A Sweet Girl) Maisa: …

(Troop Leader) Ariel: @(A Sweet Girl), you haven’t escaped either, I saw your crime!! I saw when you kissed Amon when he was sleeping!

(A Sweet Girl) Maisa: …

(Troop Leader) Ariel: Mwahahaha? Playing silent and not daring to admit your mistake, fine, I have this as proof! *Print*

In the photo was Amon sleeping peacefully while Maisa sat on her knees and bent towards Amon and kissed his lips, her face all red.

(A Sweet Girl) Maisa: Thanks~

It was obvious that she liked the photo and took a copy for herself.

(Troop Leader) Ariel: This reaction was a little unexpected, but since you feel grateful to me for it, now you owe me a favor and are obligated to commit a crime alongside me, mwahahaha, mwahahaha!

(A Sweet Girl) Maisa: @(Troop Leader) are you alright? Did you take the wrong medicine today?

(Troop leader) Ariel: Tsk, tsk, tsk, someone else took the wrong medicine, I took no medicine.

(Scarlet) Barbara: So that’s the explanation~

(A Sweet Girl) Maisa: So it’s explained~2

(Naughty) Júlia: So that’s it~3

(Troop Leader) Ariel: Guys, you all…

The conversation went there. Amon read everything and saw that the last message was from Ariel, who had only 3 seconds since she sent the message.

Amon thought for a moment, and typed.

– Partners in Crime –

Amon: I’m hungry. I’m going to eat something. Do any of you want to come with me?

(Scarlet) Barbara: Invitation Amon to eat? of course I will~

(A Sweet Girl) Maisa: Amon, I’m all for it! I love you, mwah~

(Naughty) Júlia: Hahaha, you’re only brave like that over text! Say it in person!! @(Sweet Girl)

(Naughty) Júlia: By the way, I’m going too!

(Troop Leader) Ariel: I’m in. I need to eat something to soothe my sorrows, sniff, sniff… Oh yeah, Amon, pick a nickname, just make sure the name is saltless… Like, like… partner in crime, it’s better to have a codename, yes?

(Sweatshirt for cold days) Amon: Okay

(Scarlet) Barbara: Ahhh, I’m cold, warm me up, Amon!!!

(A Sweet Girl) Maisa: Me too!

(Naughty) Júlia: Me too 1

(Sweatshirt for cold days) Amon: Sure, ;)

(Troop Leader) Ariel: Tsk, tsk, you’re making this lady jealous… Anyway, this group is a crime group, not a loving group!!

Several laughs from the three girls were posted. even Amon sent a trio of hahaha’s.

Amon then put the wristwatch aside as he got ready to leave.

Almost half an hour later, they all found themselves in front of the restaurant. It was a steakhouse, and the smell of roasting meat left Ariel, the first arrival, with her mouth watering as she waited.

“You are late!” Ariel complained.

Normally, she wanted to play some prank, but hunger overcame that.

“Okay, let’s go then,” Barbara said. She touched her stomach, feeling hungry too, since she hadn’t eaten anything since she got back.

“Alright,” Amon nodded.

The twins had already entered without comment. Ariel didn’t say anything else and went in too. It wasn’t crowded, so they soon found a place to sit together.

“I’m going to get some rice and salad.” Julia got up. There was also the option to eat other things besides meat at this restaurant. The salad variety was over 10 different types of vegetables.

One by one the rest of the girls got up and went to do the same. Only Amon was left. He was more interested in eating meat.

There was a wide variety of selection to be honest, even slices of pizza. The restaurant also had lasagna, but it wasn’t weird to find lasagna in a place like this.

Not all the people who came here apparently came to eat roast meat but rather because of the proportion of different types of food. It was all-you-can-eat steak, so they didn’t have to hold back and grab whatever they liked before heading back to the table.

When they got back, Amon said, “I’m going to get some rice.”

“Okay.”

Since he only intended to get rice, it didn’t take long for Amon to come back with a white plate with half of it rice. By the time he returned, a young man was bringing over a tray with a very large selection of meats from which the girls had already begun to choose what they liked.

Amon sat down and ordered a piece of three different types of meat.

“Are you Amon Tang?” a voice asked with a tone of surprise.

The waiter who was serving the meat had a thoughtful look on his face. Although he wanted to keep his smile professional as he looked at Amon, he suddenly blurted out a question. It was as if he had discovered something he had not expected.

Amon looked at the young waiter and replied nonchalantly, “Yes, that’s me.”

“I see, I see.” The young waiter said with a smile, “I saw a video of you, but it wasn’t well recorded, so I couldn’t recognize you for sure. Anyway, I’m a huge fan of yours.”

He then turned to the girls. “By the way, you also did a great job by taking first place in the inter-university tournament.”

“Thanks.” Ariel responded calmly.

The twins didn’t seem to want to talk; they just nodded.

Barbara frowned a little, but still said, “Thank you.”

Seeing that it was not a good time to talk to them, the young waiter apologized and left after they finished placing their order.

“Amon, you are becoming more and more famous.” Ariel pouted, pretending to be sad, “But why would he make it seem like we’re your background dancers while you’re the lead singer?”

“I have no idea,” Amon answered. He didn’t understand it himself, as the girls had shown much more performance in the final battle of the tournament. 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘭．𝑜𝘳𝘨

“I don’t care for that, but…” Maisa finished cutting a piece of meat, and before bringing it to her mouth, she continued, “I felt a little slighted by him.”

“Me too,” Julia agreed. That was precisely why she just nodded.

It was a feeling akin to participating in a race, but ending up coming last, however, someone telling you that you did a good job not giving up and finishing the race. Honestly, it was better not to say anything.

“The way he acted was like a bit of a dork, but I’d rather not care about it.” Ariel waved her fork with a piece of meat. “In the end, he is the one who will serve us. It’s not worth getting into trouble over something a person said, who, at the end of the day we won’t even know his name or remember his face.”

“Exactly.” Barbara nodded as she started digging into her plate.

It was pointless to worry about someone of no significance to them. Maybe if it had been someone close or someone they held in some sort of esteem, they might feel different, however, that wasn’t the case.

“You guys are great.” Amon said, “Even without me, you would have still taken first place.”

It wasn’t entirely true, as they were only able to reach the Innate stage thanks to Amon, but those words caused the girls to have a happy smile on their faces.

The rest of the night was pleasant. The waiter from before who had irritated them a bit for some reason didn’t show up anymore.

When it was time to go back to the dorms, Ariel said, “Shall we walk together for a bit before heading back?”

“Okay.” Amon was the first to agree.

Maisa, Julia, and Barbara were not against it, and they turned away from the elevator and headed towards a square not far away. There were some students sitting on benches in the square, however, as it was a large plaza, there were still unoccupied seats.

Surrounded by dark brown wood, there was a lake they chose to sit facing. Nearby behind them were restrooms.

“I’m going to water the plants.” Ariel got up and left.

“She went to do number 2.” Barbara seemed certain of that.

Maisa agreed, “Uh-huh. I wouldn’t be surprised considering how much she ate despite being so short… In the end, it all goes straight to those two giant balls below her neck, yes?”

“Jealous?” Julia poked Maisa’s left cheek with her index finger.

“Maybe I am.” If it had been before, she wouldn’t have admitted it, but now things were different. “But Amon said he likes mine that way.” She cupped her own breasts with her hands a little shyly, but not hiding the satisfaction on her face.
