The Incubus System Chapter 124. Uninvited Guests
After I came out from Pearl's mansion, I turned to the nearest alley. As usual, I swept my gaze around me, making sure no one was around before reaching out my hand and imagining my room as my destination.
'Portal.'
[Set your destination.]
'My room, Ironshade Town.'
[The destination has been set.]
A portal that resembled a small black hole opened in front of me.
[The portal has opened! ]
Quickly, my feet stepped into the portal as I deactivated my incubus form. As soon as I came out, I was already in my room and had returned to my human form. Since Foxy wasn't there, I took off my demon shield bracelet and placed it on my desk before walking towards the exit. My hands unbuttoned and ruffled my shirt and hair to make it look like I just woke up. My feet continued to walk down the stairs silently. I just hoped Foxy hadn't opened the door for them and Celia was still in her room.
As I was at the end of the stairs, I peeked carefully at the front door and saw Foxy was waiting for me anxiously.
'Nice!' I walked over to her and she turned towards me.
"Mas-" She just wanted to greet me but she closed her mouth. She knew she couldn't make a noise, because they could have heard her.
"Is Celia still in her room?" I asked in a low voice. My gaze was on Foxy, my hands moved to take off my shoes.
"She's sleeping, master," replied Foxy in a low voice.
This was good news since I preferred to face them without Celia.
"Okay. Hide in my room," I whispered, my hands tiding my shoes.
She nodded and turned to leave.
After Foxy disappeared from my sight, I returned my gaze to the front door, my hand unlocked and opened the door.
"Hello, Ethan. I'm sorry for disturbing you this late," Mrs Clea greeted me with a smile. While Ruby was staring at me with a blushing face, her eyes were fixed on my half-open, messy shirt. A shopping bag in her hand.
I pulled my shirt, pretending to tidy it up awkwardly.
"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for too long. Is there something that you need?" I asked in confusion.
"We just wanted to-"
Mrs Clea wasn't done talking yet, but Ruby interrupted her.
"Can we talk inside?" she asked in excitement. Her eyes were still glued to my messy shirt.
"Okay. But please keep your voice down, Celia is sleeping and she has an exam tomorrow morning." If they wanted to attack me or accuse me of being a demon they should have barged in when I opened the door, but since they didn't, it meant they had another purpose. I stepped back as my hand moved to open the door wider so they could enter.
"Thank you," Ruby said, her feet stepping in happily. Meanwhile, Mrs Clea looked annoyed. From their expressions and recalling their previous conversation, I thought I could already guess why they came here.
I let out a tired sigh.
'Looks like what I did this morning has brought me more trouble,' I thought as my hand closed the door.
"How do you know each other?" I said as we walked into the living room.
"Ruby is my sister-in-law. She visited me to play with Alan. She told me about this morning's incident and wanted to thank you. Since we are neighbours, I took her to your house. I hope you don't mind about it," Mrs Clea explained. Well, I doubted her explanation. Since I could guess Ruby forced Mrs Clea to show her where my house was. And because she knew Mrs. Clea was watching me and Celia, she could guess my house was not far from hers. That's why rather than let Ruby come to my house alone, she chose to accompany Ruby to meet me.
They sat on the sofa.
"Would you like something to drink?" I offered.
"No, thank you. We won't be that long," said Mrs Clea.
"Okay. Wait a second," I just turned around, but Ruby stopped me.
"Ethan, where are you going?"
I turned to her.
"I just want to fix my clothes. I think it's inappropriate to talk to you like this," I said as I pointed to my messy shirt with my eyes. Actually, as an incubus, I didn't care and weren't ashamed of my messy clothes. But no man would greet their female guests in this state without embarrassment.
Ruby got up from her seat, grabbed my hand and pulled me to the sofa.
"It's fine. Besides, it's our fault for visiting you this late."
"Okay. If you don't mind," I said as I sat on the sofa. My hands buttoned my shirt awkwardly.
Ruby sat near me, her eyes staring at me, occasionally she glanced at my body.
"May I know why you came here?" I asked.
She took her shopping bag and gave it to me.
"I want to give this."
I took the shopping bag from her hand.
"Thank you. But, why?"
"You saved me. So I want to give you something in return," she said.
"It's just a trivial matter, you don't have to do this."
"What do you mean by a trivial matter? If you weren't there, that man might have kidnapped me," she said with a sweet smile.
"Open it, I want to know whether you like it or not."
I opened the bag and found a sweater inside. Then I remembered the last photo I saw on her cellphone.
'Did she buy this because Bern and Franz ruined my sweater this morning?'
"Did you like it?" Ruby's voice dispersed my thoughts.
I put the sweater back in the bag.
"Yes, thank you," I replied as short as I could since I didn't want to talk too much.
Seeing that Ruby had given the sweater to me, Mrs Clea was about to open her mouth to excuse themselves, but Ruby spoke again.
"I also came here as an introduction, because starting tomorrow I will stay at Mrs Clea's house," said Ruby with an innocent smile.
"Ah, really?" I said with a smile. I kept my composure even though I was shocked and panicked.
'My stalker lives next door ?! Great! Maybe tomorrow she will have my nude photo on her cellphone. '
While Mrs Clea also looked shocked, it seemed that this was out of her plan.
"She'll only stay for two days. She said she missed Alan so she wanted to accompany him to play longer," Mrs Clea added.
"Oh okay." I felt more relieved, at least I just needed to be patient and held myself for two days.
Now it was Ruby's turn to show an unhappy face. She just opened her mouth as she wanted to give another excuse so she could stay at Mrs Clea's house longer, but I interrupted her.
"Where's Alan? Is he asleep?" I tried to divert our conversation.
"Yes. It's past his bedtime," replied Mrs Clea.
"Oh, is he okay sleeping alone?" I asked in a worried tone. I knew Alan wasn't a real kid and just a familiar elf, but with this, I could give them a reason to return sooner.
"That's why we can't stay here too long," Mrs Clea welcomed my words since she wanted to drag Ruby home.
Ruby just opened her mouth to speak, but I interrupted her again.
"Since Ruby likes Alan so much. I'm sure Ruby must be worried about him, right?" I said as I looked at her.
She pressed her lips and forced a smile.
"Yes."
Mrs Clea stood up from her seat.
"Then I'll excuse myself."
I nodded and got up from my seat.
Then our gaze diverted to Ruby who still didn't move from her seat. A second later, she stood up reluctantly, pouting.
We walked towards the front door.
"See ya later," said Ruby unwillingly.
"Later," I said with a smile.
I just opened the door, the stinking stench pierced my nose along with an announcement in a red box in front of me.
[!!! Warning !!! ]
[Other Demons detected!]
I was stiffened since I knew their location was close. This was the first demon's appearance around my house. While I heard vibration from Mrs Clea and Ruby. I guessed it was their Demon Compass that caught the demons' presence. Their gazes turned serious.
"Ethan, lock your door and don't let anyone in. I heard there are some unsolved theft cases around here, you have to be careful," Mrs Clea warned me. I knew she tried to tell me to hide from the demons.
"Okay. Thank you for your concern," I replied.
Quickly, they came out of my house and I closed the door. From the stench that pierced my nose, I could tell there were so many of them. I was sure both of them would make things difficult for me, but I had to close the crack.
'I'll take this opportunity to observe how Mrs Clea fights.'
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
