Chapter 59: If You Don’t Feed Me, I’ll Just Keep Staring119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWoKmdbp2Y
Raphael froze, her brain short-circuiting for several seconds.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmMo6XOpws
This guy—he actually dared to do that!119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWPZFZeNvq
And worse, he’d had the audacity to calmly murmur, “Feels pretty good,” as if it were the most natural thing in the world.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGW5TV69G17
Bastard! Bastard! Bastard!119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWucjeJvNPR
Her face flushed red with fury and disbelief. For a split second, she nearly forgot how to breathe.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUr1XG0AIc
"What’s wrong?" Gabriel and the others turned around when they heard the noise.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4AmkiMVjX
Raphael’s expression was priceless. Normally, she was the picture of calm elegance, always wearing that gentle, confident smile. Rarely did anyone see her show anything else.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGuacragkz
But now? Her face was an entire drama by itself—shock, rage, embarrassment, even a flicker of guilt mixed together. Her chest rose and fell rapidly, her breathing shallow and uneven.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeHkHN3XSD
After a few seconds, she straightened, forcing her tone to remain composed. "Nothing. I just stepped on a disgusting slug."119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSR34DUoih
"Eh? There are slugs here?" Satania tilted her head in confusion.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCWVFwcJ04
"Idiot, if you don’t get it, stop asking questions. You’re too loud," Gabriel muttered, stifling a yawn.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZr8mNWbrp1
"Who are you calling an idiot!?" Satania barked back, her red hair bristling like an angry cat’s tail.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPQpcCaA47
"Who do you think?"119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyuEMOnk2x
"You! Obviously you!"119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXF9RwpxltD
"Tch. Then you just proved my point."119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63StQhaxEh
"Stop saying confusing things I don’t understand, you lazy angel!"119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPnCIOt97E
Vigne frowned faintly. The haunted house echoed faint screams from other visitors, but Raphael wasn’t someone who’d shriek over something small. Still, since Raphael clearly didn’t want to explain, Vigne decided to let it go. She only cast a subtle glance at Kouya—silent, suspicious.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZqizl6nQl
Amid Gabriel and Satania’s endless bickering, the group kept walking toward the exit.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNP6rkikdN
Raphael slowed down, falling behind. Her eyes burned with silent fury as she hissed under her breath, "You actually dared to do that..."119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fjQXNIu5M
Kouya didn’t even flinch. He simply smirked and made a subtle gripping gesture with his hand.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKch1eyDMTK
Message received: You play with me, I’ll play with you.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyVLXIBtV5
"I’ll tell Gabi-chan what you did…"119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0yfNHZ41i
"Go ahead," Kouya said, shrugging casually as he walked ahead.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvJ84pYNHR
Raphael clenched her fists so tight her knuckles turned white. If this weren’t a crowded place, she’d have already blasted him with divine light until he begged for forgiveness—or worse. She could almost picture it now.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdApttiGSuK
He’d regret that smug smile.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRf0Qa0S0Ym
Though, she thought with a quiet huff, maybe he’d enjoy that too.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGaOppnqjE
...119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGW91a3lsYF
The group emerged from the haunted house moments later, all of them looking completely unfazed—while everyone else stumbled out screaming or clutching their chests. The contrast was absurd.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRY4rH5Svg
Raphael dusted her skirt as if nothing had happened. "Let’s stop by the restroom first."119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokJRk7kHNM
"Good idea. Let’s go together," Vigne agreed. For reasons no one could quite explain, girls always treated bathroom trips as sacred bonding rituals.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIVIHSkF6R
After speaking, Vigne looked at Kouya. Her expression said, You’ll wait, right?119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLR0whUJJi
"Go ahead. I’ll grab some cold drinks," Kouya said with a lazy wave.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbiHEyz6Bu
His eyes met Raphael’s for half a second. That tiny glance was enough to make the air between them crackle. Neither said a word, but the message was clear: this wasn’t over.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2C1ylThFA
...119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbDa2tvxRS
Time passed quickly. By the time he checked his phone, it was noon.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQSoM8xmjo
The sun blazed overhead, baking the pavement until it shimmered. The air smelled faintly of sugar and grilled snacks from nearby stalls. Kouya wiped a bead of sweat from his neck and sighed. It was hot enough to melt a halo.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8rD122tNS
Spotting an ice cream stand nearby, he decided to treat himself.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4ykBTPZZ6
He bought a cup of mochi ice cream and found an empty bench under a tree. The seat was warm from the sunlight, but the gentle shade offered some relief. The first bite was cool, creamy perfection—the rice coating soft, the filling sweet with just the right chill.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPI7tV8THF3
Finally, some peace.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGStOl9GTR
Until he felt it.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1YHaAwir7
A faint, prickling sensation. The feeling of being watched.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWLRJGCVvV
“Stare—”119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfQzYNOWYg
He turned slowly.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrT7JQmX7aQ
A small girl stood a few meters away, wearing a blue-and-white gothic dress that fluttered gently in the summer breeze. Her big, ocean-blue eyes were wide open, locked directly onto his hand—the one holding the ice cream.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhvLkFSUq1
Kouya’s mouth twitched. Oh no. Not her again.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7qNGNllD8
"The blue-eyed dragon loli... of course. Who else would it be?" he muttered under his breath.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkzuqJo2IM
Why does she always appear when I’m eating!?119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡem7SoAZ2Bo
Do you have some kind of built-in ‘Food Detection Radar’ or something!?119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmFQzNNWUd
"Come here," he said, waving lazily.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlea6HvMRjj
Kanna approached without a sound. Her expression didn’t change. Her eyes stayed fixed on the ice cream. “Stare—”119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvM8HIiAGm
"You came with your Kobayashi, right?"119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJezll6kv2T
"And Lady Tohru," she said softly.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlD69hm9kn
"Where are they now?"119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MpWtcO0Yf
"They went to the restroom," she replied simply, her gaze unwavering. “Stare—”119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiaxFPyMD4
Kouya sighed, defeated. "Alright, what flavor do you want?"119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpB1LyI7fDx
"All of them. I want to eat everything."119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqcCzo8Hfe
He nearly choked. "You what!?"119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBSFJcWPmW
Straightforward, innocent, and completely unreasonable.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKEz6mMrvY
Even if I bought the entire freezer, you’d end up on a science lab table before you finished it!119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSh4JPQWqAR
"Boss, another one—mochi, right?" he called to the attendant.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVZDObh0BU
"Yes, sir. One moment please!" The cheerful girl behind the counter smiled brightly.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3jhqUZZQL
Kouya leaned back against the bench, watching the crowd drift by. Kids laughed, couples held hands, and the occasional pigeon strutted between their feet like it owned the place. The smell of sugar and vanilla lingered in the air.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbg8cI0oKMe
He took another bite of his ice cream. Soft rice skin, chilled cream, the faint sweetness spreading across his tongue—simple pleasures.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnwJoUPS0z
Until once again—119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfK9y2luNQ
“Stare—”119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4rgRytKny
He looked up to find Kanna still staring at him, her blue eyes glimmering like polished glass.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAClzZlAwI
Her expression was blank, but her intent was obvious: Feed me or suffer eternal eye contact.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYYWk2Mxjl
Kouya groaned inwardly. Damn it! Your order’s almost ready! Why are you staring like that!? You look like you’re casting a hunger spell!119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYGSZxQ2ib
Don’t think I’ll give in just because you’re cute!119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlw3CIx7qmQ
From the bench nearby, a couple started whispering loud enough for him to hear.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gpmG5plRl
"Ugh, people these days. Buying ice cream and not even sharing with his little sister? Shameful. The poor thing looks heartbroken."119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGttP8L5YJ5
Heartbroken? She’s a dragon, not an orphan!119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrwBO8uwz0
"Such a cruel brother," the woman sighed dramatically.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzPbU2cbQ9
Oh for the love of—since when is self-control a crime!?119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnGxudqxWb
The man chimed in passionately. "If I had a sister that cute, I’d spoil her every day! Buy her everything she wants, give her candy, dress her up in the best clothes, carry her around—"119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyqIQSiU8H
Yeah, sure. Until the cops carry you away for being creepy!119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bxDih2i8w
The woman giggled. "Honey, let’s have a daughter like her someday."119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0f7iPJ8vFh
"Deal!" the man said instantly. Then he froze, realization dawning. "Wait, that kid’s mixed-race, isn’t she!? Hold on—you what!?"119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb14wtJ8shb
Kouya dragged a hand down his face. Why do I attract lunatics every time I eat something?119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkbpJpllWl
...119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynVLJ7vXZo
A few minutes later, Kanna exited the shop, happily holding her own ice cream. She reached out and gripped Kouya’s sleeve, her tiny hand curling around the fabric.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXvmyVDwUR
They walked side by side, her short steps matching his calm stride.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqocTD9Spe
Behind them came a startled voice.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeeMn5fSyr
"Eh!? Who... who is that!?" Vigne’s wide eyes sparkled with confusion as she pointed at the little dragon girl, completely stunned.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5HVHFUKg0
