Chapter 611: Peaceful Life but for how long? [2]

Eventually, they reached a small open square where several street performers had gathered.

A musician was playing a lively tune while two performers entertained the crowd with juggling.

Amon watched for a moment. Then his eyes suddenly landed on a game stall. His expression changed. "Let’s play that."

Scarlett followed his gaze. A simple ring-toss game stood beside the performers.

Seraphina smiled at him. "Are you confident that you can win?"

"Of course I can. Who do you think I am?"

Scarlett folded her arms. "Then prove it to us dear~"

Amon immediately bought three sets. One for each of them and then game began. He threw first but he miss. He threw again at them but same result.

Scarlett stared at him while rubbing her chin.

Amon slowly lowered his hand. "...The rings are defective. Small size that can’t fit."

Seraphina covered her mouth and wanted to chuckle at his excuse.

Scarlett’s eyebrow rose. "Naturally, you are right. There’s no way you can miss it."

"Yeah. Also the wind is also interfering."

"There is barely any wind here Amon." Scarlett frowned at his excuse.

"...You’re supposed to support me." How terrible, she was his girlfriend. She should have supported him.

"I’m observing as usual. Don’t expect me to ignore it."

Amon sighed dejectedly.

Then Scarlett took her turn. She casually threw the first ring. It landed perfectly. She tried few times and all landed perfectly.

Amon stared at her. "You’ve played this before. Yup... you are pro at this."

"Once." She said. "I have played this only one time before."

"How many times?"

"I said once."

"You’re lying." Amon couldn’t believe in her. He was a man with trust issues.

Scarlett gave him a faint smirk. "Perhaps you are not wrong."

Amon just cursed then told Seraphina. "Hey Sera, you should try it."

"Okay, it’s my first time playing."

Seraphina took her turn. She missed the first two. Despite being strong human with amazing reflexes and powers here they trying to play without using powers. Or even their normal talent.

Amon encouraged her. "You can do it!"

Seraphina concentrated. She threw the third ring. It landed perfectly.

Her eyes widened. "I did it Amon!!"

Amon immediately raised both fists.

"YES!"

People nearby looked at them.

Seraphina laughed. "Hehe~ better than yours."

Scarlett simply watched them with a small smile.

Amon turned toward her. "You should smile more."

Scarlett looked at him. "Why?"

"Because you’re beautiful when you smile."

Her expression softened slightly. "That’s old line. Try something new, my dear."

Amon’s lips twitched. "Tch! Old or new it doesn’t matter cause I know you like it."

Scarlett didn’t deny it.

As the afternoon slowly approached, the three of them left the garden and returned toward the busier streets.

Amon suddenly stopped. "Wait."

Both women looked at him. He pointed toward a small photographer’s shop.

"Let’s take a picture." He asked with excitement.

Seraphina’s eyes brightened Slightly. "That’s good idea!!"

Scarlett stared at the shop. "A picture huh?"

"Yes." Amon smiled. "Something to remember today. The great Amon’s first date with two lovers."

Seraphina looked at him with deadpan expression. "Not funny."

Scarlett didn’t seem bother as she shrugged.

"Fine. Let’s go, I will also have single photo with you."

"Yes!! Let’s go!!"

Inside the shop, the photographer prepared a magical crystal camera.

They stood together, Amon in the middle. Scarlett on his left and Seraphina on his right. The photographer was little surprised at the trio. He didn’t know what this three were.

Were they simply friends? Maybe siblings? But their hair color and eyes colors different. But when he saw how both woman stood so close to the young man.

He immediately understood. ’What a lucky man.’ So understanding their relationship he said. "Closer, please."

Amon immediately wrapped an arm around each woman’s waist. Seraphina blushed. Scarlett merely looked at him from the side with amusement.

The photographer adjusted the camera.

"Smile!"

Amon smiled brightly without shame. Seraphina smiled softly. Scarlett’s expression barely changed. But just before the picture was taken, Amon whispered,

"Scarlett, smile."

She looked at him. Then, very slightly, the corner of her lips lifted making it a gentle smile.

The crystal flashed as the image was captured by photographer.

"Now I want one with Amon."

"I also want." Seraphina also said that.

So Amon first had photos with Scarlett as she wrapped her arms around his right hand and leaned over him. This time smile bloom on her face naturally.

And later Seraphina stood beside Amon as both click photo.

Later Amon looked at the photograph afterward and smiled.

"They are just perfect."

Scarlett glanced at it. "You’re keeping that?"

"Of course."

Seraphina leaned closer. "Me too."

Amon nodded to them. "Let’s take multiple copy and also warn the photographer not to share or spread it anywhere."

"Yes let’s do that."Scarlett agreed immediately.

Then Scarlett looked at him. "Also make sure you don’t lose them."

"I won’t my dear~"

For a moment, the three of them simply stood there.

Just three people enjoying a peaceful day together. As they stepped back onto the street, Scarlett quietly slipped her hand into Amon’s.

Seraphina did the same from the other side. Amon looked at them. Scarlett noticed his expression.

"What?" he asked not knowing why they looking at him like that.

"Nothing, it’s just you look too much happy for having date with two beautiful women, Amon."

Amon smiled. "I definitely am happy... too much happy."

Scarlett’s lips curved into a faint smile. "Good. I want you to be happy."

Seraphina rested her head lightly against his shoulder. "We should come again... or maybe go somewhere else for next date, all three of us."

Amon looked between them. "I am always ready!!"

The three continued walking through Elarith City, surrounded by the noise of merchants, adventurers, and ordinary citizens.

They had not discovered anything new about the city that day.

They hadn’t needed to.

They had simply discovered that even a familiar place could feel completely different when shared with the people they loved.

Amon was too much happy and relaxed. He didn’t know how long this days might stay with him. So he didn’t worry about future, rather decided to enjoy his present.

But deep down he really wondered. This was peaceful life but for how long?
