Alternately Elena, Evelyn, and Ella turned around to see who had called them. They saw three men wearing bodybuilding tank tops and sports shorts.
"Oh, I was right. Good afternoon, it's fancy to meet you here." Brian snapped his fingers with a big smile, also showing off his white teeth.
"Well, good afternoon to you, Mr. Brian, Mr. David, and Mr. Ashton. Ah, I see, you've been getting along so well since the last time." Elena chuckled softly, she wanted to cover her mouth with grace, but Vanessa was in her arms.
"What? Who is getting along with this whimsical Brian? I just accepted his challenge to join the bodybuilding club and compete there." Ashton frowned slightly. He took a little distance from Brian so as not to be called familiar with him.
"Huh? Say that from someone who just lost. I know you still don't accept it. But, It's okay. A winner like me has a big heart." Brian shrugged his shoulders a little. He didn't care about the subtle insinuation. A great man would not be easily offended by taunts from an amateur boy.
"Hmph! That's a word from a guy who uses Reinforcement Magic in a match. Bodybuilding is for muscles only, no magic that counts." Ashton snorted in dissatisfaction as this matter was brought up again.
"Oh-ho? I see... That means you are still an amateur. Let this elder teach you some important things. The bodybuilding club is not just muscle, but magic as well. It's just that, in training, it is just a matter of muscle training. What we did earlier was a fair match, with the rules listed, and magic is not a prohibition for that." Brian gave a little lecture to the ignorant boy.
But, he smiled to himself because he could act cool in front of three beautiful girls, and one of them was his idol girl. He just wanted to leave an impression on her.
"Since when was it fair? It was cheating." Ashton didn't seem to accept it, a little bickering at the club was brought up again, and he couldn't swallow it raw.
"Don't you know? My body doesn't have many muscles like yours, but I practiced my magic for one year longer than yours. Yes, I used Reinforcement Magic, but the burden I was carrying also multiplied because the three seniors who were the judges activated gravity magic on my part. Or are you not aware of it?" Brian spoke as he raised his hand, showing his undeveloped hand muscles.
"Tsk, how do I know? I just joined today. We'll see after lunch. I'll silence you with my victory dust." Ashton clenched his fists to reveal his arm muscles for the sake of intimidating Brian's trivial hand muscles.
"Hehe, we'll see. Now we need to find lunch, the club's stock of food happened to run out. I'm still on a high calorie and protein diet." Brian wagged his hand lightly to quickly close the conversation with this amateur boy. He didn't want the girls to just wait and watch.
Evelyn looked at Elena and Ella doing the same thing. The three of them giggled softly at the behavior of these two men, as well as at David's silly and confused expression.
"Excuse us for the conversation just now. By the way, where are you going?" Brian immediately smoothed the conversation to its intended topic.
"Hehe... We are going to visit this cafe." Evelyn was still amused by Brian and Ashton's behavior earlier. It was like a sudden comedy.
"Oh! What a coincidence, we will also visit this cafe. Yes, Delish Yum Yum, right David?" Brian nudged his brother and vassal for help.
"Ah, yes, Boss. Here we can find the menu we are looking for." David was so quick to understand, he confirmed it.
To be honest, their goal was the convenience store and not this cafe. However, they turned a corner because there was a beautiful, kind-hearted girl whom they happened to meet on their way.
"Is that so? Then it's a coincidence that we met here. Hmm, well... Want to join us for lunch?" Elena thought for a moment and discussed with Elysia before deciding that. What was better than lunch? Of course, it was free lunch!
She also sent eye contact on cue to girls on both sides of her. Although they didn't really understand, Evelyn and Ella only nodded their heads slightly. The two of them didn't really mind for these three men to come along with them.
"O yes, it is fabulous. It is an honor for us to have lunch with you." Brian gave the princesses a little knightly bow.
At the same time, he stomped Ashton's feet. It was not the amateur boy's time to talk. His decision was unanimous and unambiguous. The convenience store could wait later. Golden opportunities like this moment didn't come every time.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go into this cafe." Evelyn tugged gently on her best friend's arm, and they walked into the quirky and cozy cafe, followed by Ella and the three newly joined men.
Like any other cafe, they were greeted by a maid who asked them where they would take their place as soon as they entered. Since they were seven, they took up quite a large private room in the youth category and theme.
'This cafe really has character and has a comfortable atmosphere. The place is also quite spacious with several special private rooms. And what's more, it's economical in the middle class!' Elysia looked around freely from within the Soul Realm.
'Hehe, we didn't make the wrong choice. It's no wonder this place has become a hangout spot for many kinds of people.' Elena spoke as she walked behind the maid.
However, when they got closer to their room, Elena saw someone they knew was sitting at the general table with two girls. It was such a coincidence to meet the rude girl at this place and on this holiday...
Elysia advised her to leave that girl alone. Elena just obeyed it for a while. At that time, she was walking right behind the maid while the others right behind her. They were like a group of people walking in a neat row.
It was just that the rude girl also saw Elysia's presence. Her expression turned a little dark, but she suddenly had a mean intention that crossed her mind. She smirked for an instant, then looked in another direction to pretend she didn't see anyone approaching while casually drinking her drink.
She and her maids came here to relax in a quiet and peaceful place. They purposely chose the random general table in this cafe to observe several people present. Still, this hateful girl came unexpectedly and ruined her mood again.
Because she didn't like it, she quickly calculated where Elysia walked and glanced with the corner of her eyes. When the maid was just passing through the path beside her, she stretched out her leg a little bit to make Elysia trip and fall.
Elena just rolled her eyes. It was a bad attempt. Because the cafe's path was not that wide, it was possible for any ordinary girl to trip and fall because of this rude girl.
'Ely, forgive me, I can't leave this girl alone. She tried to harm me and you with this horrible thing.' Elena apologized briefly, nor did she wait for a response from Elysia.
In her leisurely steps following the maid, Elena lifted her leg a little. Then stomped her leg with a relatively strong force, right on the brazen feet that stuck out a little to block her step.
"A..."
Didn't wait for the rude girl to yell at the pain that came suddenly at her feet, Elena set a little magic to launch a small ball of ice from the drink the rude girl drank through the straw.
"Ack! Cough! Cough, cough... Kaaahhkkk." The rude girl was coughing because a foreign object suddenly invaded her mouth, and she accidentally swallowed it.
Because the ice's size was so small, Elena was sure it wouldn't be dangerous or deadly. She lightly kicked the insolent feet to return to its original place, to bury the evidence.
"Oh my goodness... Are you okay, miss? Please be careful while drinking your drink." Elena played her little scene with an expression full of concern. She sat next to the rude girl and immediately gave her a pat on the back.
"Cough..." The rude girl spewed the foreign object that invaded her mouth and throat, thanks to a pat on her back.
"O, are you all right, Miss Serena?" Elena smiled innocently, took a tissue on the table, and gently wiped the rude girl's mouth as soon as the rude girl looked at her with a few tears.
'Heartless and merciless...' Elysia could only comment on that. If that was her, she would definitely just avoid Serena's feet that might trip her up.
The sudden noise and action caught several other guests' attention, including Evelyn, Ella, and three men in tank tops who followed from behind them.
Unfortunately, all of them were completely unaware of Elena. She had just stomped Serena's feet mercilessly, even if it was without magic or anything too far.
Unlike the others, Evelyn immediately approached Elysia. She was worried that something this rude girl would do to her kind best friend.
"Good afternoon, Miss Serena. Please be careful when you drink. You will choke if you forget to swallow properly." Evelyn gave a piece of advice in kindness. Even though it sounded a little strange for her to say to this rude girl.
