"Heh! Seems like I'm the one in charge now, I guess?"
Everette sighed in relief, 'It doesn't seem like she changed, I think.'
The sounds of footsteps echoed around them as they were approached and surrounded.
"What was that!?"
"Did you guys make a deal with the devil?"
"And what was up with the notification?"
"Yeah! Did you guys acquire a class or something like that?"
Everyone gathered around and barraged the two with seemingly never-ending questions.
Everette had a small crowd compared to Ada's, but he knew that was because of her dramatic class change.
After stealthily merging his crowd with Ada's, he was able to seamlessly slip away and leave the responsibility of answering everyone's questions to Ada.
He was then quickly approached by Jack and Amelia. The couple wasted no time in questioning him about what happened.
"Did you two acquire a class?" Jack gave an inquisitive look, followed by Amelia, who was currently fixing her hair.
"Mhm, it seems at level 10, you are given the option of acquiring the class."
Everette gave a soft sigh but smiled nonetheless because he wouldn't mind answering questions from these two.
After hearing the level needed for them to acquire a class, the couple looked towards each other before beaming.
"While we're on the topic of levels, what level are you two currently at?"
"We're at level 7" x 2
"... Pfft."
Everette chuckled at their chemistry before looking back towards Ada, who was being overwhelmed by the constant questions.
'I wonder if we'll ever have that sort of relationship.'
Everette then sighed before shaking his head. 'As if... Even if we do, I'll probably drag her down.'
"It's getting quite late, huh?"
He stared back at Jack to see him holding his phone. Everette patted his pocket and felt his phone before pulling it out.
He frowned; the phone screen was cracked, and the back had a huge dent in it.
'Probably with my fight with Mourn.'
A disappointed sigh resounded as he placed it back where it was.
"What time is it?"
"9:30 pm"
Everette was left bewildered at how time passed so quickly. He skimmed around the Chapel once more before scrutinizing outside the Chapel's stained-glass windows.
He felt an arm wrap around his neck. Everette glimpsed beside him to see Ada's jubilant smile.
"Yo! I am finally done answering all those questions." Ada sighed in relief.
Ada examined the couple. Her smile stiffened a bit before softening.
"Everette~ my dear friend, mind introducing me to your new friends?"
Everette gave a short nod before gesturing towards Jack.
"This is Jack Birdeye..."
'Wait... what was up with that Vermillion part of his name?'
Ada held out her hand towards Jack.
"I'm Ada, Everette's best friend."
Jack gave a radiant smile before reciprocating.
"I've heard much about you! Some of them were from Everette, though."
"Oh? Is that so~?"
Ada turned her head towards Everette to see his head already turned away. A mischievous smirk appeared on her face.
Everette coughed and pointed to Amelia.
"And this is Amelia Rose."
Ada did the same thing again. She held out her hand and waited for Amelia to reciprocate the action.
"Nice to meet you, Amelia."
Amelia gave a timid nod before quickly shaking her hand and escaping.
Ada held an amused smile.
"Could I ask you two something?"
Jack nodded with a smile, "Sure! Go right ahead."
"Are you two perhaps dating?"
"Yes" x 2
The couple answered simultaneously as if they were happy to talk about their relationship.
Ada's stiff smile finally became natural after no longer feeling any danger of her Everette being stolen from her.
"I see, I see."
Ada engaged in a conversation with the couple on the topic of their lovely relationship with one another while Everette, who was feeling left out, decided to take a look at his stats.
'Stat Gate.'

'Almost all of my stats are in the 20's, so that's good. But... there seems to be something different...'
"Eh?"
'Where is my health bar!?'
