5 Grant-Star! (3)

...

"Okay, any more questions?"

Icarus asks as he sees the waiter bringing his orders.

"No! Wait, actually… Yes, I have!"

"Speak!"

"Since you have an eidetic memory like God, does that mean you are also very intelligent equal he?"

Asks the hungry Gullbhar while also looking at the dishes the waiter is bringing.

"No, equal him no! After all, I'm a lot smarter than he is!"

"Sigh… I knew you were going to answer like that!"

"Okay, jokes aside, I don't think I'm able to do what I do. In fact, I don't think anyone is capable! You know, God is very strange!"

"Huh? Why?"

"You know, everything he tries to do, it works! It even looks like he's a protagonist in one of those fantasy novels! I can easily create a background story for him!"

"Hehe! Okay, come on, create a background story here and now, that I want to see!"

Hearing the defiant tone in Torsten's voice, Icarus smiles widely and says

"Okay, there go! Isten Gudomlig, originally lived in a world where technology was extremely advanced.

During a normal day of his life, he ended up having an accident and died.

However, his story did not end there, on the contrary, it was just beginning!

After he died, he found himself reincarnated in a different world, with all the memories of his past life.

His new life was very good, after all he was born into a wealthy family.

As he grew up, he realized that the world he is living in, was far more primitive than the world he lived in before.

So, he decided to use his family's money to create technologies that existed in his other world, thus becoming even richer and more famous!'

Icarus finishes telling the story, looks at Torsten and says

"See? It's easy!"

Hearing this, Torsten and Alkeides slowly nod their heads, still stunned by the ease with which Icarus made up a background story.

At this moment, the waiter arrives pushing a small cart with the orders of the three.

The waiter quickly places the orders in front of their respective owners and says

"Here are your orders, good appetite!"

After placing all the dishes on the table, the waiter bows one last time and leaves

Then Torsten picks up his beer from the table, looks at the other two and says

"Well let's eat, but first, let's make a toast… The bill that Icarus will pay!"

"The bill that Icarus will pay!"

"The bill that Icarus will not pay!"

"Dude just give up at once!"

Yells Torsten already angry at his friend's attitude

"Never!"

Icarus responds with a big smile, while the fork is still in his mouth

After some time of tasting, the three finish eating and finally the long awaited moment arrives

As the waiter approaches the table, he bows one last time and while he places the bill on the table, he says

"I hope you enjoyed your meal! Here is your account!"

He place the bill in front of Torsten that he quickly passes it on to Alkeides who passes it to Icarus, who tries to pass it back to his colleague Enfys, but after a deadly look from him, he gives up.

"Okay, I'll pay!"

After saying that, Icarus puts his hands in his pockets and starts looking for his wallet

"Huh?"

"What's the problem?"

"Sorry guys, looks like… I forgot my wallet!"

Icarus says as he looks at Torsten and Alkeides with a false apology and Torsten replies calmly

"Okay, there is a bank right there across the street you can go there and withdraw money!"

At this point, the waiter interrupts Torsten and says

"Excuse me! Unfortunately, he can't do that! After all, according to restaurant rules, no one can leave without paying!"

'YEES, I love you waiter whose the name I don't know I hope that you get promoted!'

"Wait a minute… would you by any chance be Mr. Torsten?"

The waiter asks in doubt

'I don't like the direction of this conversation'

Icarus thinks with fear.

"Yes, this would be me!"

Torsten responds with a big smile.

"Oh, so in that case, your friend can go out to go to the bank!"

The waiter responds with a smile.

'NOO, I hate you waiter whose the name I don't know, and now I don't even want to know! I hope you get fired!'

Curses Icarus in thoughts.

"Damn Torsten, that's what you were talking to George?"

Question angry Icarus

"Yeah! I had predicted that something like this would happen! So I talked to George in advance! Now you can go and get the money from the bank to pay our bill!"

After saying, this Torsten remembers something and says

"Oh, and you better not try to escape! Otherwise, I'm going to have to use my secret weapon!"

"Huehuehue! And what exactly is your secret weapon? Alkeides?"

Icarus asks with a carefree smile and Torsten denies without a second thought

"Nah, he's completely useless!"

"Yeah, I agree!"

"Hey you two, I'm still here!"

Icarus and Torsten completely ignore Alkeides' dissatisfaction

Then Icarus asks

"Okay, if your secret weapon is not this idiot here... What is it?"

"Well, Icarus my friend, do you remember three weeks ago when your dear sister Danka came to visit you?"

Hearing the sudden mention of her sister's name

Icarus quickly raises his guard against Torsten and responds a little suspiciously

"Yeah... I remember that! However, what does she have to do with it?"

Hearing this question, Torsten smiles and says

"I'm glad you asked! You know, before Danka leaving, she left behind a gift! That gift is my secret weapon!"

After saying this, Torsten reaches into his pants pocket and takes of a small piece of paper

Seeing this, Icarus looks at Torsten with contempt and asks

"She left a piece of paper? Your secret weapon is a... piece of paper? Huehuehue! Come on, even Alkeides can be more useful than that!"

"Well, the secret weapon is not the paper itself, but what is written on it!"

Hearing this, Icarus is confused and looks at Torsten in doubt

However, at this moment a certain thought goes through his head and he goes pale

Icarus looks at Torsten and asks in horror

"D,Don't tell me, did she really leave that with you?"

"Oh, it looks like you found out! Hahaha Yes, It's Danka's number!"

"Fuck! Why do you have this written on a piece of paper? Who the hell uses paper these days?"

"Yeah, that's exactly what I said to her when she gave me this piece of paper!

However, she told me it was better that way.

She said that knowing you, you would probably hack my communicator to erase that number!"

'Fuck! She knows me well! That's exactly what I did after she left!'

Icarus quickly tries to get up and take the piece of paper from Torsten's hand

However, before he even gets up, he feels two hands land on his shoulders.

Icarus quickly looks at the owner of the hands and finds out it's Alkeides

Alkeides is using two of his arms to hold him while looking at him with a big smile

'SHIT!'

"Hehehe! Although he is often useless. It's good to have him around, exactly for situations like this!"

Torsten says with a big smile, as he slowly swings the piece of paper between his fingers.

"Sigh! Okay, you really won this time! I'll pay the bill!"

Icarus says as he gets up to go to the bank and as he walks to the exit, he thinks

'Damn it, she really left her number with him! Before when she threatened me, I thought it was just a bluff!'
