Chapter 36: 36:Special Class Get-together (1)
Raymond didn’t know when he had fallen asleep.
Groggily rubbing his eyes. He found himself lying flat on his back on his sofa, a blanket draped over him and a pillow under his head.
The morning sun shined a dim light through the clouds, providing a nice atmosphere in his living room.
Looking around, he found his apartnt to be as clean as before. Not a single trace of blood remaining as far as he could tell.
He could hear the sounds of bacon sizzling and sothing in the toaster pop up with a ding.
"Good morning Raymond."
"...good morning Ellen."
Seating himself at his kitchen countertop, a plate was soon handed to him—along with a fork and knife.
Sunny side up eggs with the yolk still runny, crispy bacon and toast browned until the edges. Each item exactly how he liked it.
"Go brush your teeth first. Don’t eat yet."
After brushing his teeth and washing his face, he quickly returned to the kitchen. Sitting next to Ellen, he turned to her after the first bite.
"How’d you know?"
She raised an eyebrow, "Know what?"
"How I like my eggs, bacon, and toast. Everything’s perfect."
"We lived in the sa household for nearly five years. It’s hard not to know."
Raymond suddenly felt a pang of guilt hit him, he didn’t know hers yet she knew his likes.
It suddenly occurred to Raymond that he didn’t know much about Ellen aside from the basics.
He had treated this entire dinsion as only entertainnt, using other people’s lives as stories. Treating living, breathing humans as only npcs and characters.
Raymond quietly added three new items on his list, once he returned to Earth, he would delete his entire novel that he had written. Wiping it from everyone’s mory.
Second, was to get to know Ellen better and the third was to stop treating people like they were characters in a story.
"Thank you for what you did yesterday."
She nodded slightly, "Like I said, it’s fine."
The two of them quietly finished their breakfast. With Raymond helping to clean up and wash the dishes.
...
Wearing casual clothes, Raymond tried his best to look as normal as he could. But try as he might, it was hard to muster up the sa carefree energy after what happened yesterday.
He wore a pair of jeans and a long sleeve shirt to try and hide his bandages. But the bandages on his hands were still very visible to anyone who paid attention to his appearance.
Following behind Ellen, the two of them soon reached their destination.
The Fired-up Bull
Approaching the waitstaff, the two of them entered the restaurant. Following the employee until they reached a VIP room.
"Your reserved room dear custors. If you have any requests, please ring the bell to notify an employee."
Pushing the sliding door open, the two of them entered the VIP room. Imdiately spotting Thomas sitting by himself looking at a nu.
He cheerfully greeted them, "Ellen! Raymond! Glad to see you two arrive."
Ellen looked around, "Where’s Noelle and Audrina?"
"They haven’t arrived yet. But since you two are here, I can finally order sothing! I’ve been surrounded by the sll ever since I entered and it’s really making
hungry."
Seating themselves around the round table on Thomas’s right. With Ellen in between Thomas And Raymond, the three of them chatted for a bit as they waited for the others.
Thomas’s squinted slightly at Raymond’s hands, "Raymond, I couldn’t help but notice that your hands are bandaged. Were you injured in so sort of accident?"
"Just a small magic accident, it’ll heal on its own soon enough.
