Chapter 59: If You Don’t Feed Me, I’ll Just Keep Staring25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UquB2hdkG
Raphael froze, her brain short-circuiting for several seconds.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZrQaeTiGT
This guy—he actually dared to do that!25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzbP4z5tC0
And worse, he’d had the audacity to calmly murmur, “Feels pretty good,” as if it were the most natural thing in the world.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChbomKxxvw
Bastard! Bastard! Bastard!25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3glF19RLB
Her face flushed red with fury and disbelief. For a split second, she nearly forgot how to breathe.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoXcpI99zh
"What’s wrong?" Gabriel and the others turned around when they heard the noise.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9M0GMJ9w3
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.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdpNSLl3aC
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.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7k8FZeWyhI
After a few seconds, she straightened, forcing her tone to remain composed. "Nothing. I just stepped on a disgusting slug."25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGGe1dmf5I
"Eh? There are slugs here?" Satania tilted her head in confusion.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr2j4HMVfO
"Idiot, if you don’t get it, stop asking questions. You’re too loud," Gabriel muttered, stifling a yawn.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUG0jLSWbU
"Who are you calling an idiot!?" Satania barked back, her red hair bristling like an angry cat’s tail.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WJS1lTVdL
"Who do you think?"25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbC1aqEUrRj
"You! Obviously you!"25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5ncRNTCjT
"Tch. Then you just proved my point."25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpazWCHiPi
"Stop saying confusing things I don’t understand, you lazy angel!"25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7OKdZMpVj
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.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqucW8pEgF
Amid Gabriel and Satania’s endless bickering, the group kept walking toward the exit.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAhdQyLTLy
Raphael slowed down, falling behind. Her eyes burned with silent fury as she hissed under her breath, "You actually dared to do that..."25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cWD4OaLoZ
Kouya didn’t even flinch. He simply smirked and made a subtle gripping gesture with his hand.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡib3FbQ6IDU
Message received: You play with me, I’ll play with you.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskL5Kr9l5D
"I’ll tell Gabi-chan what you did…"25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUumL9S4OJ
"Go ahead," Kouya said, shrugging casually as he walked ahead.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6B5Y5fAPAr
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.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0783cn8s0
He’d regret that smug smile.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaxsNPYewd
Though, she thought with a quiet huff, maybe he’d enjoy that too.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoYQrsULBY
...25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kkfer4myz
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.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuva7ikxFu
Raphael dusted her skirt as if nothing had happened. "Let’s stop by the restroom first."25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iYnr61wCr
"Good idea. Let’s go together," Vigne agreed. For reasons no one could quite explain, girls always treated bathroom trips as sacred bonding rituals.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrp8NMhItiX
After speaking, Vigne looked at Kouya. Her expression said, You’ll wait, right?25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDWqLEh4K2
"Go ahead. I’ll grab some cold drinks," Kouya said with a lazy wave.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQiiwvmfsy
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.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFW91OrXAj9
...25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sU84slZvL
Time passed quickly. By the time he checked his phone, it was noon.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PjEUMD5oY
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.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnaoxtGr0C
Spotting an ice cream stand nearby, he decided to treat himself.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡig5MGgIUkn
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.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzhK6j40Iy
Finally, some peace.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47LYkLltDi
Until he felt it.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEP0UCDqLcU
A faint, prickling sensation. The feeling of being watched.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPivEtrUViW
“Stare—”25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdNux784JU
He turned slowly.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIwfYddLhh
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.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23elkQlv6B
Kouya’s mouth twitched. Oh no. Not her again.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNN5nC6y4Ad
"The blue-eyed dragon loli... of course. Who else would it be?" he muttered under his breath.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVTUF7EWcn
Why does she always appear when I’m eating!?25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKOJGaDnB2
Do you have some kind of built-in ‘Food Detection Radar’ or something!?25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiJ0e9Bq5j
"Come here," he said, waving lazily.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLFVOINKKO
Kanna approached without a sound. Her expression didn’t change. Her eyes stayed fixed on the ice cream. “Stare—”25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRyxiXj6vP
"You came with your Kobayashi, right?"25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnH17JzfimW
"And Lady Tohru," she said softly.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTq8GxBKEUP
"Where are they now?"25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcOHIi2HG7
"They went to the restroom," she replied simply, her gaze unwavering. “Stare—”25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbdvw6Jilv
Kouya sighed, defeated. "Alright, what flavor do you want?"25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cEdcegd7W
"All of them. I want to eat everything."25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI96QaUmeAI
He nearly choked. "You what!?"25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKJlJsF9AS
Straightforward, innocent, and completely unreasonable.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaLBrKRobd
Even if I bought the entire freezer, you’d end up on a science lab table before you finished it!25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCFtj27S1d
"Boss, another one—mochi, right?" he called to the attendant.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz9NLIdCgf
"Yes, sir. One moment please!" The cheerful girl behind the counter smiled brightly.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEtkdy87M5
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.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8U5eL2LQX
He took another bite of his ice cream. Soft rice skin, chilled cream, the faint sweetness spreading across his tongue—simple pleasures.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEiFjHxkOG
Until once again—25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvAFV8fKLF
“Stare—”25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOarucDmvp
He looked up to find Kanna still staring at him, her blue eyes glimmering like polished glass.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvP7BSPurZ
Her expression was blank, but her intent was obvious: Feed me or suffer eternal eye contact.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZG08KBsMy
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!25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzU9H6GTIZ
Don’t think I’ll give in just because you’re cute!25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTyD1VOyF5
From the bench nearby, a couple started whispering loud enough for him to hear.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6F9DZ7v04
"Ugh, people these days. Buying ice cream and not even sharing with his little sister? Shameful. The poor thing looks heartbroken."25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgdPNJZQRZ
Heartbroken? She’s a dragon, not an orphan!25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwIbfMdrH3
"Such a cruel brother," the woman sighed dramatically.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsU1k2gvvAT
Oh for the love of—since when is self-control a crime!?25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXScsLLxGsI
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—"25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbwEDUhI37
Yeah, sure. Until the cops carry you away for being creepy!25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVPhWdjc6c
The woman giggled. "Honey, let’s have a daughter like her someday."25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49saDWoeNk
"Deal!" the man said instantly. Then he froze, realization dawning. "Wait, that kid’s mixed-race, isn’t she!? Hold on—you what!?"25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QAUi8tRyq
Kouya dragged a hand down his face. Why do I attract lunatics every time I eat something?25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjo7NKvGOt
...25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZJ27KCWKD
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.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlV0ptWfGV
They walked side by side, her short steps matching his calm stride.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwTcO8MREp
Behind them came a startled voice.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFhZgyPKfR
"Eh!? Who... who is that!?" Vigne’s wide eyes sparkled with confusion as she pointed at the little dragon girl, completely stunned.25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptz9bylTQV
