The Incubus System Chapter 663. Death Stares
Ethan's PoV
The cozy atmosphere of Tutty Fruity maid café enveloped as I sat at a small table. Ruby was sitting by my side, a wide grin spreading across her face. A plate filled with my nearly finished al was in front of .
"Open your mouth~," she sang, the spoon in her hand holding the final piece of pancake hovering just in front of my lips. I couldn't help but feel a slight sense of unease as I opened my mouth, allowing her to feed the last morsel.
I glanced around and noticed a group of n staring at with a mixture of envy and contempt. I felt uneasy under their scrutinizing gazes. Their jealousy made the once pleasant atmosphere feel stifling, and I couldn't wait to leave the café.
'Why are you looking at like that? It's not my fault, you know,' I thought, internally grumbling as I chewed the tasteless pancakes. It should have tasted good, but they were bland in my mouth due to their stare. I wondered if their envious stares would lead to sothing more sinister.
"Here, let help you clean up," she said sweetly, taking a napkin and gently wiping my mouth. Her touch was delicate and her movents were almost romantic as if she was performing so kind of enchanting ritual.
"I need to go ho now. I'm sure Celia is already worried about ," I reasoned, trying to escape from her. I thought I could talk about many things with Ruby or even use my skill to read her mind, but with everyone's attention on , I had to discourage myself.
The disappointnt was clear on her face, but she didn't press the issue. "Why? Is there any problem?" she asked.
Yes, I hadn't told her about my mom either and decided not to say a thing to her. After all, all she did was sit by my side and spoiled . She was like a parasite-type demon clinging to .
"Not yet, but if I don't co ho soon it will be a problem," I said. My voice sounded firm and decisive. If I said yes, she would surely ask to stay, and she would use that as an excuse to hold longer.
"I see…" she said, a tinge of disappointnt in her voice. "I thought we could spend a little longer. But it seems I was wrong."
I stood up from my chair, feeling a sense of urgency to leave. "Yeah," I said, my voice low. "I will excuse myself now." I hoped that my words would be enough to signal to Ruby that I needed to go, but it seed she had other ideas.
She blocked my way with her body, holding onto my hand with surprising strength. "Can't you stay a little longer?" she begged, her voice rising with desperation.
Her plea seed to draw the other patrons' attentions, their gazes turning to us with a mix of curiosity and jealousy. Their stares at grew intense. Their threat was evident in their terrifying gazes. I realized that I was trapped. Ruby's grip on my hand was unyielding, and I knew that I wouldn't be able to get away without causing a scene.
I glanced in all directions, scanning the other patrons, searching for another urgent reason to leave, but I could only see their intense gaze. Their expressions were hard and unfeeling, their eyes like daggers as they stared at . It was clear that I was on my own.
With a sense of resignation, I turned back to Ruby, shaking my head in refusal. I hoped that she would understand and let go.
"I see…" she said, finally standing up and stepping aside to give a way out.
With every step, I could feel the weight of their nacing stares piercing my back. I tried to remain calm, keeping my pace fast but steady.
Quickly, I made my way to the cashier, avoiding the icy glares that followed , and paid for my food.
Once I turned to leave, Ruby appeared before , blocking my path.
"Wait!" she said. "You forgot this." She handed a small bag, a gift that I had forgotten.
"Thank you," I thanked her quickly and tried to leave, but then sothing unexpected happened.
Before I could make a move, she leaned in closer to , and I could feel her breath on my cheek. I could feel my heart rate increasing.
Without warning, Ruby pressed her lips to my cheek, and I could feel the softness of her lips. It was a gentle, fleeting kiss.
She pulled away and smiled happily at , her eyes bright and full of life. Her cheeks were flushed, and I could see a hint of a blush on her skin.
"Thank you for today, Ethan," she said, her voice filled with genuine joy and warmth.
I was stunned, unsure of how to react. Not under this much attention. I could feel the mood in the cafe shift. The entire cafe seed to co to a standstill. Everyone was watching, their eyes fixed on us as if we were the only two people in the room. I could feel their stares boring into , their expressions ranging from disgust to jealousy to hatred. It was as if I had committed a cri as if I had taken sothing that didn't belong to .
Their expressions were intense, and their eyes locked onto with an intensity that made my skin crawl. It was as though they were sizing up, determining whether or not I was worthy of the attention that Ruby had bestowed upon .
My thoughts raced. 'She's really planning to kill , huh?!' I scread internally.
With a forced smile, I replied, "No problem." Without another word, I turned on my heel and bolted out of the café.
'I should take Celia with next ti,' I reminded myself.
