The Incubus System

91 Chapter 89. Puyi, puyi~ Love, love~ Ethan!

”Whatʼs your name, master?” Rubyʼs voice broke my thoughts. A cute smile was already on her lips even though she had just experienced that shocking incident. Well, since she was a demon hunter, I bet she wasnʼt surprised by a small incident like that, so maybe it was rather annoying than surprising.

”For what?” I asked suspiciously. She was a Demon Hunter. I couldnʼt give my name to her recklessly. Besides, I noticed that her emotion status was curious and interested, even though I hoped that status was for the man who helped her before but it could be for me. She could have realized that it was my doing.

She took my omurice plate which was shaped like a cute couple covered in an omelette blanket.

” I need your name to finish this dish, master.”

”Huh?” I had never heard anything like this before.

”Brother ...” Celia whispered as she pulled at the tip of my sleeve. I turned to her and she pointed to the table across from us. The guest also ordered the same omurice as me and the maid wrote the guestʼs name with ketchup on top of the omelette.

ʼNow I understand.ʼ

”Ethan,” I told her my name.

”Thank you, master.” She put my plate on the table and started to write using the ketchup bottle in her hand.

ʼRuby Love Ethanʼ that was what she wrote.

”For the final touch, I will read a love spell so master will always remember me.”

”Puyi, puyi ~ Love, love ~ Ethan,” she started making cute girly gestures which ended with a love sign shaped by her fingers.

”Follow me, but you have changed your name to mine,” said Ruby with a friendly tone.

”No, no, no. Thereʼs no way Iʼm gonna follow ---” I glanced at Celia who was sitting across me and realized she was looking at me in excitement, waiting for my action.

”Come on ~” Celia said in a spoiled tone.

A breath of surrender escaped my mouth.

”Now follow me. Puyi, puyi ~ Love, love ~ Ethan!” Ruby said excitedly.

”Puyi, puyi. Love, love. Ruby.” Even though I imitated all her movements correctly but my tone sounded flat like a dead person who just woke up from his sleep.

”Yay!” She clapped her hands with a sweet smile to praise me while I replied with an awkward grin. Celia laughed at me since I had never done anything like that before.

Ruby turned to Celia and asked the same thing.

”Whatʼs your name, master?”

”Celia.”

Ruby took Celiaʼs plate and started to write using a chocolate sauce bottle.

ʼLove Celiaʼ Thatʼs what she wrote. It was actually quite strange that she didnʼt write her name down like mine. But I was guessing because we ordered different foods.

I smirked, since I could guess after this, it was Celiaʼs turn to do that strange ʼspellʼ but I was wrong.

”Wait. Why she doesnʼt need to dance like me?”

”That only applies to ʼA lover in a blanketʼ, master,” Ruby explained.

”Oh okay ...” I said in disappointment. While Celia giggled at my expression.

Ruby lowered her head and left.

I looked at Celia who was still giggling at me in annoyance.

”Are you happy after making fun of your brother?”

”Okay, Iʼll stop.” She tried to hold back her laughter.

”Letʼs start eating.”

We took our cutlery and started eating, occasionally Celia asked me to feed her and vice versa. I also didnʼt forget my promise to Foxy and gave her some pancakes after I moved her to the chair next to me to avoid peopleʼs suspicion. A mouth appeared on my cap and swallowed a piece of pancake, but as I thought, she didnʼt like it, since I could see her sticking out her tongue in disgust before her mouth completely disappeared.

As we almost finished our meal, I could feel someone was watching us and I knew who it was. I glanced with the corner of my eyes and caught Ruby staring and watching me.

ʼThis is bad ...ʼ I could only guess that she already knew I knocked out that guy. Of course, it made clear that her emotion status was for me. But even so, she had no reason to arrest me or do anything because her Demon Compass didnʼt react to me.

I quickly finished my food so we could get out of there early.

”Why are you eating so fast?” Celia stared at my empty plate in confusion, her mouth still busy chewing her food.

”Iʼm so hungry, so I canʼt help it,” I reasoned.

Seeing that I had finished, Celia finally finished her meal faster.

”Take your time. Iʼll pay for our bill.” I got up from my seat and walked towards the cashier.

As usual, I paid with my virtual account application. And as I walked back to my seat, I checked my balance in my account. My steps stopped and my eyes widened in surprise.

Account Balance: 5,003,685 Creds.

ʼWhat ?!ʼ I frowned in confusion and disbelief. There was no way I had that much money. Most of my money was already spent on Celiaʼs tuition fees and her allowance. Meanwhile, Pearl transferred my money to Damianʼs Virtual Account which was separate from this account. Also, the amount they gave me wasnʼt this much. I logged out and logged in again to make sure, and the numbers didnʼt change.

ʼDid someone make a wrong transfer?ʼ I thought as I sat back in my seat.

I checked the source but there was no explanation at all, not even the sender name.

ʼSeriously?ʼ Even though the amount was really tempting to me, it could be a crime result or money laundering.

”Brother, whatʼs wrong?” asked Celia.

”It is nothing.” My hand put my cellphone into my pocket, I decided to go to the virtual account office tomorrow morning to clear this up.

My eyes glanced at Ruby once again and caught her delivering food to a guest. Even though her hands placed the food on the table deftly, her eyes occasionally turned to me.

”Have you done?” I returned my gaze to Celia.

”Yes.” She stood up and took her bag.

”Letʼs go.”

I put on Foxy and walked out of the cafe.

”Thank you, master!” said the maids.

”Where are we going now?” asked Celia.

”Letʼs go to dadʼs regular suit shop.”

-----

”What do you think?” I said as I came out of the changing room and showed the suit I was wearing to Celia who was busy looking at the clothes hanging on the hanger stand.

Celia turned to me, her forehead creased.

”The style and colour suits you but you have to take a smaller size.”

I turned and looked at my reflection in a nearby mirror, making sure the suit looked good on me.

”Itʼs okay, Iʼll get bigger anyway,” I said confidently. I bought this for Damian, thatʼs why I took the bigger size.

”Pfftt! Brother, youʼve tried really hard to get bigger every year and never succeeded,” she teased.

”Whatever you say,” I replied in an indifferent tone.

”Give me two of these suits,” I told the shopkeeper. At least I needed a spare if my suit got ripped like yesterday.

The shopkeeper prepared my order while I returned into the changing room and put my clothes back on. Celia was still browsing the shelves and hanger stands inside the shop, when I finished my payment.

”Thank you.” The shopkeeper gave me my shopping bag and I took it.

I swept my gaze into the shop looking for Celia but I couldnʼt find her. This shop was small, so I should be able to find her easily. My gaze shifted to the large window and my eyes caught Celia who was chatting with Ruby outside the shop, occasionally they laughed happily.

My feet stepped towards them and Celiaʼs voice was heard as soon as I opened the shop door.

”- heʼs my brother, not my boyfriend,” said Celia with an awkward smile.

”You shouldnʼt disappear like that,” I complained as I approached them. I could guess Ruby didnʼt mean badly to Celia but I couldnʼt ensure her true intention yet.

They turned their eyes on me.

”Brother, Ruby wants to talk to you for a moment,” said Celia.

”Go ahead,” I said nonchalantly. I didnʼt know what she wanted to say but since we were talking in a public place like this, I was sure she didnʼt want to fight me or accuse me as a demon.

Celia took my shopping bag.

”Iʼll be waiting there,” she said as she pointed to an empty bench near us.

”Okay.”

As Celia left us, Ruby started our conversation.

”I donʼt know how to say this, but... I just want to say thank you for your help,” she said shyly. Her eyes took a glance at me several times and her cheeks blushed.

ʼSheʼs sharp. Is she one of the advanced level demon hunters that Emma was referring to? ʼ

Since I didnʼt answer her, she added again.

”I know you didnʼt want anyone to find out about this, thatʼs why you helped me secretly. But I still have to say thank you.”

”Itʼs just a trivial matter. Thereʼs no need to think about it,” I said simply.

She nodded and gave me a sweet smile.

”All right. Since thereʼs nothing we need to talk about anymore, I will excuse myself.” I quickly ended our conversation because I did not want to talk with her for too long. After all, she was a demon hunter, I had to be careful with her.

”Ethan,” she called my name when I was about to turn around.

”Yes?”

”I hope weʼll meet again,” she said in a friendly tone.

I simply nodded and flashed a smile at her before approaching Celia.
