My unbelievable life with CATS (Con and Thief system)

Chapter 58: After graduation party snub


That evening, Dylan was in his room with the door locked. He started putting all his equipment into the dimensional item box. Once everything was inside, he immediately opened his screen.

===============================

Storage list:

- Glider x1 unit.

- Pick lock tools x1 pack.

- Sticky boots x1 pair.

- Sticky gloves x1 pair.

- Laser finger attachment x1 unit.

- Grappler gun x1 unit.

- Backpack x1 unit.

===============================

"Okay, everything's in. Now I just open it and take what I need when I want to use it. No more back and forth or carrying a backpack," Dylan muttered, smiling.

[That is correct, sir. This way, it will be easier for you to complete quests for me.]

"But what kind of things can go in... can people go in?" Dylan asked.

[Of course not, any organic material placed inside will decompose on its own.]

"Hmm... okay, understood. Don't ever put a person or a cat in," Dylan replied.

[That is correct, sir.]

After that, Dylan stood up and left his room. He saw Ellie, Lena, Maya, and Amy sitting on the sofa, happily looking at their bracelets. Aaron and Clara were studying at the dining table, and his twin sisters were playing in their room, getting ready for bed since they had school tomorrow. Dylan walked over to the four young women and sat on the sofa opposite them, turning on the television. Then he looked at Maya, who seemed a little puzzled while weighing her bracelet in her hand.

"Why does it feel lighter now... maybe I'm just used to it," Maya muttered.

"You're just used to it. Don't worry about it," Dylan replied.

"But this bracelet is nice and uniform... I'm happy," Lena added.

"Yes, it feels like you're proposing to me and making us four officially your fiancées," Ellie added.

"Hmm... true," (moving and whispering to Dylan) "you bought this, right?" Amy asked.

"Yep, I gave you the receipt, didn't I?" Dylan asked.

"Yes, thanks," Amy replied, kissing Dylan's cheek.

Immediately, Lena and Ellie also moved closer to Dylan and kissed his cheek. After that, Maya also moved closer and kissed Dylan. After all that,

"Speaking of which... Clara is sleeping over again, huh?" Dylan asked.

"Yeah, Aunt Melissa's apartment complex isn't great, and she's planning to move. She hasn't found a suitable place for Clara that's close to her school yet," Amy replied.

"But it's fine, right? She sleeps with me," Maya added.

"Yeah, sometimes with me too," Lena added.

"It's not a problem, just asking," Dylan replied, watching Clara study with Aaron. "So, what about your father?" Dylan asked Ellie.

"I plan to go to Mr. Robert's office tomorrow to ask him what I should do about this situation, legally. Do you want to come along?" Ellie asked.

"Okay, I'll go," Dylan replied.

"Aww... too bad I can't go. I start work tomorrow," Lena replied.

"I won't go either. I'll stay home. Mike said he's dropping off his wedding invitations, and then in the evening, I work at the restaurant because I have the evening shift," Maya replied.

"I might go to the bookstore and buy a book quickly, then come home," Amy added.

"Oh, Clara and I are off tomorrow. We also plan to stay home and do some homework. Don't worry about Fiona and Iris; we'll both pick them up," Aaron chimed in, raising his hand.

"Oh, okay, but take an online taxi directly and don't make any stops," Dylan replied.

"Yeah, I know, bro, relax," Aaron replied.

Suddenly, "dling... dling... dling," Ellie, Lena, Amy, and Maya's smartphones rang in succession. They looked at their phone screens, immediately tapped them, and then put them back down.

"Hmm... what's up?" Dylan asked, confused.

"It's a group chat notification about a class graduation party. I left it immediately," Ellie answered.

"Yup, I refused too. The one who just kept adding me to the group was Derek... annoying," Lena added.

"Oh, same here. He added me too, and I just left again," Amy said.

"I was invited too. So annoying. They were so insistent about inviting me, even contacting me privately and asking why I left again... it's irritating," Maya said.

"Why did you guys leave again?" Dylan asked, confused.

"Because when I told them they needed to invite you, they wouldn't, so I left," Ellie replied.

"That's right, but they kept putting me back in the group, so I just kept leaving," Lena added.

"It felt really pushy," Amy added.

"I also said if they wanted me to go, they had to invite you, but they kept making excuses... it was annoying," Maya added.

"I... I see," Dylan mumbled, unable to say anything.

He wasn't close to his classmates at all, only greetings and slight familiarity, because he hadn't sought friendships, as his high school life was spent working in survival mode. Now he felt bad because the four young women in front of him weren't going to the party because of him. Dylan fell silent and looked down at the coffee table as if the table were suddenly beautiful and interesting. Ellie noticed Dylan's silence, then she scooted over to him and held his hand.

"Hey... don't think I'm not going because of you. I chose to be with you and didn't want to come if you weren't there, so this isn't your fault," Ellie said.

"Ah, that's right. How about we throw our own party? We're free to do what we want," Lena interjected, also paying attention to Dylan.

"Yeah, exactly. I agree. Let's start planning," Amy added, also watching Dylan.

"Agreed... maybe we should take a trip? Aaron, Clara, Fiona, and Iris will be on break soon too. It would be fun if we could all go together," Maya added, smiling and looking at Dylan.

"Yes, they're right. Let's have fun. We don't need to join the classmates. Even if we're all not in the class yearbook and only in the school yearbook, it doesn't matter, right? We can make our own yearbook, just the five of us," Ellie added, stroking Dylan's hair.

Dylan looked at the faces of Ellie, Lena, Amy, and Maya. He watched each of the four of them, who seemed sincere and were genuinely thinking of him. Dylan, who was initially stunned, gave a slight smile. Then he looked at the four young women in front of him.

"Okay, let's plan a vacation and celebrate our graduation together," Dylan said.

"Yay... that's the spirit," Lena replied excitedly.

Finally, they started cheerfully planning their own vacation and party for after graduation, which was only a few days away. Aaron, who was watching from the dining table and heard everything, also smiled, his face seeming to say, "Thank goodness, big brother. You're not alone anymore, and you're happy."
