Chapter 59: If You Don’t Feed Me, I’ll Just Keep Staring119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85IiD3Il9p
Raphael froze, her brain short-circuiting for several seconds.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmrI26TP9E
This guy—he actually dared to do that!119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQwfMsmp4d
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFl8AJqaHpK
Bastard! Bastard! Bastard!119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRWwwBqomk
Her face flushed red with fury and disbelief. For a split second, she nearly forgot how to breathe.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMype6aSGXx
"What’s wrong?" Gabriel and the others turned around when they heard the noise.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxfZimIkY4
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeDW5UlIGi
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupMAGKt0P4
After a few seconds, she straightened, forcing her tone to remain composed. "Nothing. I just stepped on a disgusting slug."119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8TDBXvwZP
"Eh? There are slugs here?" Satania tilted her head in confusion.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxXamfb4WW
"Idiot, if you don’t get it, stop asking questions. You’re too loud," Gabriel muttered, stifling a yawn.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yWVhQdzGH
"Who are you calling an idiot!?" Satania barked back, her red hair bristling like an angry cat’s tail.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RW6yhexyK
"Who do you think?"119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02qnE884Un
"You! Obviously you!"119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡok0C9aCfjP
"Tch. Then you just proved my point."119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvNa8UbwiU
"Stop saying confusing things I don’t understand, you lazy angel!"119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyC4S9H8B3
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitAhx2x2F9
Amid Gabriel and Satania’s endless bickering, the group kept walking toward the exit.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIESaQ4BhO
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfCK6iIC2V
Kouya didn’t even flinch. He simply smirked and made a subtle gripping gesture with his hand.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1MarVvKhy
Message received: You play with me, I’ll play with you.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IkW7rfAmL
"I’ll tell Gabi-chan what you did…"119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0AZZt1I1u
"Go ahead," Kouya said, shrugging casually as he walked ahead.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifNtV4cVJP
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoLAXgJ3Ni
He’d regret that smug smile.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOe2N4xRQHR
Though, she thought with a quiet huff, maybe he’d enjoy that too.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdGVdLCvFy
...119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGOwFwbyYv
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKchAxrYSbW
Raphael dusted her skirt as if nothing had happened. "Let’s stop by the restroom first."119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94YkrKH4gQ
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaoAg177MG
After speaking, Vigne looked at Kouya. Her expression said, You’ll wait, right?119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXJVLJ2BgA
"Go ahead. I’ll grab some cold drinks," Kouya said with a lazy wave.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvJzyG7nVB
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Y73mspJPH
...119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB0DWHe6l5
Time passed quickly. By the time he checked his phone, it was noon.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRvAMKgdve
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98aJW3sp5k
Spotting an ice cream stand nearby, he decided to treat himself.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfW1iibbsUF
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzmmbQihwo
Finally, some peace.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCD0dOzHHJE
Until he felt it.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZeGBERBUG
A faint, prickling sensation. The feeling of being watched.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3zszPqWFX
“Stare—”119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1BVxDzEZl
He turned slowly.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4XpLFxpNC
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiKDHgiuHB
Kouya’s mouth twitched. Oh no. Not her again.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgClSrLo8B
"The blue-eyed dragon loli... of course. Who else would it be?" he muttered under his breath.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutVKtg9G3F
Why does she always appear when I’m eating!?119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmt2ov0Bn7s
Do you have some kind of built-in ‘Food Detection Radar’ or something!?119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZegktWilxH
"Come here," he said, waving lazily.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAORaU6a4WI
Kanna approached without a sound. Her expression didn’t change. Her eyes stayed fixed on the ice cream. “Stare—”119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3s8AOq3xfR
"You came with your Kobayashi, right?"119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSggPAt7pp
"And Lady Tohru," she said softly.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcPh6FC6DW
"Where are they now?"119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPl4R0u6yB
"They went to the restroom," she replied simply, her gaze unwavering. “Stare—”119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuK4PdgIx0L
Kouya sighed, defeated. "Alright, what flavor do you want?"119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HjHL5wIT7
"All of them. I want to eat everything."119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotqJcCSvu4
He nearly choked. "You what!?"119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdhgsObAKS
Straightforward, innocent, and completely unreasonable.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7OfV6Xftt
Even if I bought the entire freezer, you’d end up on a science lab table before you finished it!119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmocGK4Xamm
"Boss, another one—mochi, right?" he called to the attendant.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiF0ootqRnQ
"Yes, sir. One moment please!" The cheerful girl behind the counter smiled brightly.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnDIegGSkD
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnFM8Kv4jK
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYWklm7P8d
Until once again—119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaaR3c9PdX
“Stare—”119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPRriqBICG
He looked up to find Kanna still staring at him, her blue eyes glimmering like polished glass.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiptpt05kUL
Her expression was blank, but her intent was obvious: Feed me or suffer eternal eye contact.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvAoJgQ2ui
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3giSDu0ybd
Don’t think I’ll give in just because you’re cute!119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdTgcQttaw
From the bench nearby, a couple started whispering loud enough for him to hear.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSdavezxrU
"Ugh, people these days. Buying ice cream and not even sharing with his little sister? Shameful. The poor thing looks heartbroken."119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡng5VqnFvtb
Heartbroken? She’s a dragon, not an orphan!119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFT5R50Uff
"Such a cruel brother," the woman sighed dramatically.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMkPy98YMi
Oh for the love of—since when is self-control a crime!?119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ109T5TiqeZ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3KtLoyYDc
Yeah, sure. Until the cops carry you away for being creepy!119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXpOADgtDf
The woman giggled. "Honey, let’s have a daughter like her someday."119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprLx2FOco0
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1qa9objqj
Kouya dragged a hand down his face. Why do I attract lunatics every time I eat something?119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBc0w11Lyl
...119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1ulxvqj8y
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZB7A8Rxoz
They walked side by side, her short steps matching his calm stride.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKczQcFpVDX
Behind them came a startled voice.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmj7KpgP5T
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhGRei273c
