The Goddess Made A Mistake Again-Chapter 240 - - Metally Overdriven

Elisabeth stood there with a blank face for a moment, before it turned bright red as her mind bombed.

'UNHOLYNESSSS!'

She looked at the place Henry pointed to and then looked at Arthur's which was right beside him.

'What do I do?'

'If I sit with Arthur, I'll be far away from Henry… but if I sit with He- Henry… It'll be right close to his extremely fit body!' Just thinking about Henry's fit 8 packed body made her shiver in a feeling she never felt before.

'N- No, what am I thinking? I can't waste my time thinking about his sweet body, I need to do him- I- I mean I need to do the solution… N- No- No, I meant… I meant… what did I meant?'

Elisabeth had thought soo hard, that her mental drive had burned down.

From my viewpoint, it was clear to see that Elisabeth was having great trouble with this simple decision. Well… if what I'm thinking about her is right, then it definitely isn't a simple decision for the sweet and innocent Elisabeth.

'Though she looks quite the cutie with that troubled look.'

'Hmm, seems like she made her guess.'

Elisabeth looked back at Arthur and made a nod as I almost sighed.

'So it seems, I may have been wrong about my thought. She is in love with Arthu-' But my thought stops when I see her going for me.

"Thanks for letting me sit here, Henr-" Elisabeth said and was about to sit when someone barged in.

"Why don't I sit here than." Samantha made a jump and sat right beside me, the place Elisabeth was going for.

I could see Elisabeth's face crumbling at the result. She had a pretty intense mental battle for only to lose in reality.

Seeing that she couldn't get it, Elisabeth had no choice but to turn around and go to Arthur.

Meanwhile, everyone didn't see or knew what happened in this period. For them, time went on and it was only a few seconds.

But for me and Elisabeth, that time was as long as minutes if not hours for her.

Still, this means…

I cover my eyes and look down at my rich food. My eyes bulge in excitement and terror.

SHE FUCKING CHOSE ME!!!

HOLY SHIT! SHE DID!

HOW THE FUCK DID IT HAPPENED OR WHY, I DON'T KNOW, BUT IT DID!

SHE CHOSE A RANDOM GUY (Me) OVER HER CHILDHOOD BOYFRIEND!

Then… is this ntr?

Wait a second, this can't be ntr! I didn't even try to seduce her; she's doing it all by herself.

This isn't ntr! This is just high school bullshit all over again!

I look at Elisabeth's face again as she sat down in a dejected state.

'Why is she doing this? Does she really like me or does she have an agenda in mind?'

I shook my head, 'No, Elisabeth isn't the type to have any hidden agenda in mind… but if she did, who would put it?'

'Was it Arthur?' I see Arthur confusingly trying to comfort Elisabeth who only stayed sad. 'He probably didn't, but I wouldn't put it past him.'

'So could it be her father? I don't have any beef with the guy so he couldn't do it either.'

'And by her looks, she really looks as if she wanted to sit here… now I know what that look is. I've had it multiple times.'

'It's the look of a high school kid, trying to aim for something romantic, only to not be able to do it because of lack of courage, or they chose too late.'

'But I don't get why she would suddenly start liking me?'

"Henry, are you okay?" Samantha asked and I look at her and smile.

"Nothing, just thinking about something."

"Hmm… is it about Elisabeth?" She said and that made me look back at her in mild shock, "Do the two of you… have something?"

Even though that question was something I myself intend to find out, but it wasn't time yet to let it out… and definitely not to this girl.

I laugh as if hearing a good joke, "Wow, Samantha, is that the kind of jokes you're practicing lately? Because that one took me by shock."

"So you don't?" She asked with genuine curiosity as I shook my head.

"Nada, nothing my friend. Don't you know Arthur and Elisabeth are childhood lovers?" We talked in low voices so nobody heard it.

Samantha sighed as she smiled, "That's a relief. I thought there was something suspicious going on with you two with Elisabeth acting so sus lately."

"It's probably the new environment, you know." I try to divert this topic out of her, "Maybe after she relaxes or gets accustomed with it, she'll stop acting like that."

"Hmm" Samantha nodded only to laugh a bit, "But you know, she only does that when she's around you or whenever we talk about you."

'Damn! I thought she was just a muscled blockhead who only cared about knights and kingdom stuff, but she's actually sharp. Since when did she get like this, I wonder?'

"So you guys talk about me often?"

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.

She nodded, "Of course we do. With you gaining such infamous reputation, we sometimes don't even have to. The others talk about you and we just listen on and then start talking ourselves."

'So I'm already a famous figure in Class A huh… but why infamous?'

"Okay forget about that business, tell me," I lean in to her, "Why are you so interested in this bizz about me and Elisabeth… are you perhaps jealous?"

"Je- Jealous! Me?! NEVER!" She screamed out so loud, that people from other tables looked at us.

"Is something wrong, Samantha?" Arthur asked.

"N- No, I was just talking about… how I could Never repay the favor Henry gave to us that day."

"Oh? What favor?"

"The- The…" She tried to figure something out as a light bulb suddenly lit up, "It's about him getting us invited in an amazing restaurant."

Elisabeth who was sad all this time, lit up as well, "Yes!" She turned to me, "Thank you for that, Henry. I thought we would have to go back home that day."

Arthur looked back and forth in confusion, "Emm… what are you guys talking about?"

"You don't know, right?" Elisabeth said, "Let me tell you…"

With the story, Elisabeth almost made me look like a knight in shining armor. It also helped with Samantha collaborating with her.

"That's great!" Arthur said and thanked me, "Thank you Henry, I didn't think you would be such a great help to Elis." He wrapped his hands around her shoulder and smiled.

To the others it seemed, they were a young happy couple. But from my eyes, I saw her shake in discomfort at his touch.

'What the hell happened for her to be like that?'

"Come on Arthur, don't get so chummy with Elisabeth like that. It makes us single people jealous of you guys."

"Haha" Arthur laughed but he also unwrapped his arms too.

Elisabeth let out a soft sigh and looked towards my direction in gratitude.

"So what are you guys talking about?" Samantha asked.

"Good thing you asked!" Wilson said, "We're talking about going to the fireworks. Wanna come?"

"Well I would have… but Elisabeth's not going… so I'll sit this one out." She said with slight dejection.

"Samantha, I told you before. I'm not going because papa told me to stay cautious. Besides the others are going you should go too."

A glint flashed through my eyes.

"So Elisabeth…"

"Yes!" She looked in attention.

"You won't be going with Arthur then?"

"Not this time… no."

"Oh, that's disappointing. I was going with Arthur… it would have been more fun to me if you came with us." I say and act disappointed.

"I… I…"

Elisabeth went back in her overdrive mode again.
