Chapter 59: If You Don’t Feed Me, I’ll Just Keep Staring118Please respect copyright.PENANAFltdgrAQqA
Raphael froze, her brain short-circuiting for several seconds.118Please respect copyright.PENANAHdutZ0Wzrh
This guy—he actually dared to do that!118Please respect copyright.PENANAaomnwRSXAS
And worse, he’d had the audacity to calmly murmur, “Feels pretty good,” as if it were the most natural thing in the world.118Please respect copyright.PENANAuRhuvM0DsS
Bastard! Bastard! Bastard!118Please respect copyright.PENANAYGIMYhYadv
Her face flushed red with fury and disbelief. For a split second, she nearly forgot how to breathe.118Please respect copyright.PENANABYigvUkt2p
"What’s wrong?" Gabriel and the others turned around when they heard the noise.118Please respect copyright.PENANAUYMjE3PJpE
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.118Please respect copyright.PENANA8itT0LCSZR
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.118Please respect copyright.PENANAOcB7ruGSYT
After a few seconds, she straightened, forcing her tone to remain composed. "Nothing. I just stepped on a disgusting slug."118Please respect copyright.PENANAmitHXjbFwu
"Eh? There are slugs here?" Satania tilted her head in confusion.118Please respect copyright.PENANAbUv1Tnr282
"Idiot, if you don’t get it, stop asking questions. You’re too loud," Gabriel muttered, stifling a yawn.118Please respect copyright.PENANA0A9FSfWUyz
"Who are you calling an idiot!?" Satania barked back, her red hair bristling like an angry cat’s tail.118Please respect copyright.PENANAe6RduiGINJ
"Who do you think?"118Please respect copyright.PENANAiuhskYlO0y
"You! Obviously you!"118Please respect copyright.PENANAUzqdlhK25g
"Tch. Then you just proved my point."118Please respect copyright.PENANABnBx9oX5ld
"Stop saying confusing things I don’t understand, you lazy angel!"118Please respect copyright.PENANAddfGZOk4kW
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.118Please respect copyright.PENANAeYQlOcU6kP
Amid Gabriel and Satania’s endless bickering, the group kept walking toward the exit.118Please respect copyright.PENANAI6gLfrfhjL
Raphael slowed down, falling behind. Her eyes burned with silent fury as she hissed under her breath, "You actually dared to do that..."118Please respect copyright.PENANAmaxDQALAvw
Kouya didn’t even flinch. He simply smirked and made a subtle gripping gesture with his hand.118Please respect copyright.PENANAukIs3W0YLi
Message received: You play with me, I’ll play with you.118Please respect copyright.PENANAYAnT2cFrZi
"I’ll tell Gabi-chan what you did…"118Please respect copyright.PENANAbC6fhQAmuM
"Go ahead," Kouya said, shrugging casually as he walked ahead.118Please respect copyright.PENANAZx851wvxYY
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.118Please respect copyright.PENANAemsE1L9gqu
He’d regret that smug smile.118Please respect copyright.PENANAca8iSXdIaL
Though, she thought with a quiet huff, maybe he’d enjoy that too.118Please respect copyright.PENANAa6rPWOwjAR
...118Please respect copyright.PENANAXQ9rMl389b
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.118Please respect copyright.PENANAIjN5t9OZ51
Raphael dusted her skirt as if nothing had happened. "Let’s stop by the restroom first."118Please respect copyright.PENANAPQngzVPz0f
"Good idea. Let’s go together," Vigne agreed. For reasons no one could quite explain, girls always treated bathroom trips as sacred bonding rituals.118Please respect copyright.PENANACLiVKHXW4s
After speaking, Vigne looked at Kouya. Her expression said, You’ll wait, right?118Please respect copyright.PENANAcuwcSRuXZ1
"Go ahead. I’ll grab some cold drinks," Kouya said with a lazy wave.118Please respect copyright.PENANAC682MCTSiB
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.118Please respect copyright.PENANADe3XsKmv0k
...118Please respect copyright.PENANA2Bi7MCuZzG
Time passed quickly. By the time he checked his phone, it was noon.118Please respect copyright.PENANAuDvBXXNBmQ
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.118Please respect copyright.PENANAbq7mDxr1LZ
Spotting an ice cream stand nearby, he decided to treat himself.118Please respect copyright.PENANAN7efNBHkYP
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.118Please respect copyright.PENANAsmjzOI6rKn
Finally, some peace.118Please respect copyright.PENANA0DWVy9E3AB
Until he felt it.118Please respect copyright.PENANA8P88XhCme7
A faint, prickling sensation. The feeling of being watched.118Please respect copyright.PENANA1lby9jqgoX
“Stare—”118Please respect copyright.PENANA175k86EtFT
He turned slowly.118Please respect copyright.PENANApsS7AhtY6d
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.118Please respect copyright.PENANAXEOeDC8iXY
Kouya’s mouth twitched. Oh no. Not her again.118Please respect copyright.PENANAo2u3eY94w6
"The blue-eyed dragon loli... of course. Who else would it be?" he muttered under his breath.118Please respect copyright.PENANAANWRLNPCcN
Why does she always appear when I’m eating!?118Please respect copyright.PENANAx2OhiMuRxL
Do you have some kind of built-in ‘Food Detection Radar’ or something!?118Please respect copyright.PENANAYwrNeK4JqW
"Come here," he said, waving lazily.118Please respect copyright.PENANAIjRrGxjKWp
Kanna approached without a sound. Her expression didn’t change. Her eyes stayed fixed on the ice cream. “Stare—”118Please respect copyright.PENANAFzhcHmYBxv
"You came with your Kobayashi, right?"118Please respect copyright.PENANAK7DfVVmEMH
"And Lady Tohru," she said softly.118Please respect copyright.PENANAIFZnFwnPiX
"Where are they now?"118Please respect copyright.PENANA8vFsbNPFTP
"They went to the restroom," she replied simply, her gaze unwavering. “Stare—”118Please respect copyright.PENANAFb1KwvhL6D
Kouya sighed, defeated. "Alright, what flavor do you want?"118Please respect copyright.PENANA3GOvTfD49N
"All of them. I want to eat everything."118Please respect copyright.PENANAMGJJOB0TTh
He nearly choked. "You what!?"118Please respect copyright.PENANAfFtAk5M6SM
Straightforward, innocent, and completely unreasonable.118Please respect copyright.PENANA0gp1hjBFec
Even if I bought the entire freezer, you’d end up on a science lab table before you finished it!118Please respect copyright.PENANACxkZx8cRvO
"Boss, another one—mochi, right?" he called to the attendant.118Please respect copyright.PENANAvhB5RfDZTm
"Yes, sir. One moment please!" The cheerful girl behind the counter smiled brightly.118Please respect copyright.PENANAWohEjS5IHA
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.118Please respect copyright.PENANAuJfBisFNkd
He took another bite of his ice cream. Soft rice skin, chilled cream, the faint sweetness spreading across his tongue—simple pleasures.118Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7GfuiGLnv
Until once again—118Please respect copyright.PENANAyMOafJcI9C
“Stare—”118Please respect copyright.PENANAv3lBiLqVSW
He looked up to find Kanna still staring at him, her blue eyes glimmering like polished glass.118Please respect copyright.PENANAljZS3iil45
Her expression was blank, but her intent was obvious: Feed me or suffer eternal eye contact.118Please respect copyright.PENANAoEmnA4e3Zy
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!118Please respect copyright.PENANA0LYcyAYalZ
Don’t think I’ll give in just because you’re cute!118Please respect copyright.PENANAWGXw4bG2Zx
From the bench nearby, a couple started whispering loud enough for him to hear.118Please respect copyright.PENANAN3gQeUl0cD
"Ugh, people these days. Buying ice cream and not even sharing with his little sister? Shameful. The poor thing looks heartbroken."118Please respect copyright.PENANA8zoKgHL706
Heartbroken? She’s a dragon, not an orphan!118Please respect copyright.PENANAtdExm1tOYa
"Such a cruel brother," the woman sighed dramatically.118Please respect copyright.PENANA17803l5bYV
Oh for the love of—since when is self-control a crime!?118Please respect copyright.PENANAaMfOgINCeQ
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—"118Please respect copyright.PENANASGdnue3koo
Yeah, sure. Until the cops carry you away for being creepy!118Please respect copyright.PENANAEdqZC94bLD
The woman giggled. "Honey, let’s have a daughter like her someday."118Please respect copyright.PENANAQc04HAnWwS
"Deal!" the man said instantly. Then he froze, realization dawning. "Wait, that kid’s mixed-race, isn’t she!? Hold on—you what!?"118Please respect copyright.PENANA66e46PKuhk
Kouya dragged a hand down his face. Why do I attract lunatics every time I eat something?118Please respect copyright.PENANArwYZHQyDqc
...118Please respect copyright.PENANA5aGbt5ticw
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.118Please respect copyright.PENANAkGyuw1VsLt
They walked side by side, her short steps matching his calm stride.118Please respect copyright.PENANACanknzgn7K
Behind them came a startled voice.118Please respect copyright.PENANAxr3kD5rzBS
"Eh!? Who... who is that!?" Vigne’s wide eyes sparkled with confusion as she pointed at the little dragon girl, completely stunned.118Please respect copyright.PENANAZxY2sKa4tA
