Chapter 59: If You Don’t Feed Me, I’ll Just Keep Staring58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4TiLqcnkt
Raphael froze, her brain short-circuiting for several seconds.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEbrKF3VRZ
This guy—he actually dared to do that!58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObwNfLhOV7
And worse, he’d had the audacity to calmly murmur, “Feels pretty good,” as if it were the most natural thing in the world.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAPRVWtqTG
Bastard! Bastard! Bastard!58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4Pan8TrDV
Her face flushed red with fury and disbelief. For a split second, she nearly forgot how to breathe.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQInzwg7ORZ
"What’s wrong?" Gabriel and the others turned around when they heard the noise.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMNp3gZiaC
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.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡup3Yds6asI
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.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdX5siivnU5
After a few seconds, she straightened, forcing her tone to remain composed. "Nothing. I just stepped on a disgusting slug."58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡla7Al60msS
"Eh? There are slugs here?" Satania tilted her head in confusion.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3cWPDykEa
"Idiot, if you don’t get it, stop asking questions. You’re too loud," Gabriel muttered, stifling a yawn.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxdCOXcajN
"Who are you calling an idiot!?" Satania barked back, her red hair bristling like an angry cat’s tail.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJz8ci0vfa
"Who do you think?"58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yqSl4hwsD
"You! Obviously you!"58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkccoRaeby
"Tch. Then you just proved my point."58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7hGMFLUty
"Stop saying confusing things I don’t understand, you lazy angel!"58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UwKuAweXj
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.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLwJ2BP7OS
Amid Gabriel and Satania’s endless bickering, the group kept walking toward the exit.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYhw4k2koi
Raphael slowed down, falling behind. Her eyes burned with silent fury as she hissed under her breath, "You actually dared to do that..."58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOHTPUCOKi
Kouya didn’t even flinch. He simply smirked and made a subtle gripping gesture with his hand.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudiJLAQiCW
Message received: You play with me, I’ll play with you.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8K9nxPYXc
"I’ll tell Gabi-chan what you did…"58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1p3Vj8rJc4
"Go ahead," Kouya said, shrugging casually as he walked ahead.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIghrC4Z58u
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.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAwvADeDh3
He’d regret that smug smile.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjsQoGPXSs
Though, she thought with a quiet huff, maybe he’d enjoy that too.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOk5RZgu8r
...58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKiyXXwSWV
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.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzSAUtvYTz
Raphael dusted her skirt as if nothing had happened. "Let’s stop by the restroom first."58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuLM38Wzlf
"Good idea. Let’s go together," Vigne agreed. For reasons no one could quite explain, girls always treated bathroom trips as sacred bonding rituals.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqqkDOyj7r
After speaking, Vigne looked at Kouya. Her expression said, You’ll wait, right?58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGYDeB4hvF
"Go ahead. I’ll grab some cold drinks," Kouya said with a lazy wave.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmihjjC6WHd
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.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsCXyO8rCc
...58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkO7yh0i9N
Time passed quickly. By the time he checked his phone, it was noon.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWM7YYUwWdc
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.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZeKFD1mXf
Spotting an ice cream stand nearby, he decided to treat himself.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhXKzRXYbN
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.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxN0mH7Rmf
Finally, some peace.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6w4DD8ZZpw
Until he felt it.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7kDVTjeG7
A faint, prickling sensation. The feeling of being watched.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxj6XjuKHCp
“Stare—”58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNAvHWhxWV
He turned slowly.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQEOmPfjPP
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.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSJKkJpJrB
Kouya’s mouth twitched. Oh no. Not her again.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ88i9L8W0G
"The blue-eyed dragon loli... of course. Who else would it be?" he muttered under his breath.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg4VHyBJdG
Why does she always appear when I’m eating!?58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnptHheADF7
Do you have some kind of built-in ‘Food Detection Radar’ or something!?58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERbFN3nE0A
"Come here," he said, waving lazily.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6WuzUgq0n
Kanna approached without a sound. Her expression didn’t change. Her eyes stayed fixed on the ice cream. “Stare—”58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuzpx5XbvN
"You came with your Kobayashi, right?"58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAbyRCvZL9
"And Lady Tohru," she said softly.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAqhpDZuMH
"Where are they now?"58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoh5HdGAsj
"They went to the restroom," she replied simply, her gaze unwavering. “Stare—”58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLCVQPhKcV
Kouya sighed, defeated. "Alright, what flavor do you want?"58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCWf0DTPpW
"All of them. I want to eat everything."58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88kZstmq4F
He nearly choked. "You what!?"58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatRgzvDorm
Straightforward, innocent, and completely unreasonable.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eCF2rnoeZ
Even if I bought the entire freezer, you’d end up on a science lab table before you finished it!58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkk8GMbAoC
"Boss, another one—mochi, right?" he called to the attendant.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1QEm99bx4
"Yes, sir. One moment please!" The cheerful girl behind the counter smiled brightly.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuh9GhtioqI
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.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKj3xUnXyv
He took another bite of his ice cream. Soft rice skin, chilled cream, the faint sweetness spreading across his tongue—simple pleasures.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uIDujBxQw
Until once again—58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLj5klfUiJt
“Stare—”58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3DBtgCmfA
He looked up to find Kanna still staring at him, her blue eyes glimmering like polished glass.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqcDIVtFjO
Her expression was blank, but her intent was obvious: Feed me or suffer eternal eye contact.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTN3nRUZp9R
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!58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtEGlPFj4P
Don’t think I’ll give in just because you’re cute!58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuyVt0a5eS
From the bench nearby, a couple started whispering loud enough for him to hear.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3TxcOecQW
"Ugh, people these days. Buying ice cream and not even sharing with his little sister? Shameful. The poor thing looks heartbroken."58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDM50HPtss
Heartbroken? She’s a dragon, not an orphan!58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdJpJKhsdh
"Such a cruel brother," the woman sighed dramatically.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRYUwq9XNZ
Oh for the love of—since when is self-control a crime!?58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmiW59E4EJ
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—"58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOku1yHDd3X
Yeah, sure. Until the cops carry you away for being creepy!58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKquoCTZZOR
The woman giggled. "Honey, let’s have a daughter like her someday."58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uULwbhT6p
"Deal!" the man said instantly. Then he froze, realization dawning. "Wait, that kid’s mixed-race, isn’t she!? Hold on—you what!?"58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU8fT5ZgOf
Kouya dragged a hand down his face. Why do I attract lunatics every time I eat something?58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5v2GZ3lkX
...58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7guXCnxYqI
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.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4p1IRHGGxD
They walked side by side, her short steps matching his calm stride.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmiHgviiTC
Behind them came a startled voice.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnNaAvQSLw
"Eh!? Who... who is that!?" Vigne’s wide eyes sparkled with confusion as she pointed at the little dragon girl, completely stunned.58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TBY91AYrd
