Chapter 35: The Wrath Lord's Possessiveness
Seven Sins System Chapter 35. The Wrath Lord's Possessiveness
"I wore the wrong costume, didn't I?" I broke the silence between us and gestured for her to enter. My hand reached to help her carry her bags.
She smiled and entered my room.
"Yeah. You look more ready for a slumber party than a dinner."
I closed the door.
"Slumber party? What's that?" I frowned. Our feet moved towards the kitchen.
"It's a typical party where all the guests spend the night at a house. Usually, they wear pajamas or comfortable sleepwear. It's for preteens or female teenagers," she explained.
I cringed.
"I'm too old for that." My hands put her groceries on the kitchen counter.
She giggled.
"I know. But you look cute in this outfit. I mean, you look like a student." Her hands quickly unpacked her ingredients on the counter.
"Thank you."
"Anyway... Sorry, I'm late. Theo is standing in front of the woman's dorm so I have to take a detour," she said in apology. Yeah, this was indeed past dinner time.
I replied with an evil smirk.
"I thought he heard me when I said we would have dinner together." Well, maybe he was too far away, so he didn't hear it and my team didn't say anything either.
But then, I remembered one thing.
"Wait a second. How do you get past the dorm's guard?" I asked curiously. Every dorm had a guard who would call us if we had guests. So all guests couldn't go in and out freely.
She smirked mischievously.
"With my Charm skill, of course. I don't even have to leave my ID at the front desk." Charm skill was the succubus' basic skill.
"I tried a few things before I left and found some useful skills so I won't waste it," she added without looking at me.
"You learned it that fast? You seriously something," I smirked in satisfaction. Usually, a person took some time to explore their new selves.
I brought my face closer to hers again and almost kissed her.
But she pressed her index finger to my lips.
"Hold yourself until the dinner is over, okay? I need to cook it real quick."
Seeing her blushing cheeks, I released my hands.
"Fine. Do you need a hand? I can't help much, but I can help you get this and that for you."
"Sounds good."
"Okay." Despite my answer, I left her, sat in front of my desk, and opened my laptop. A tentacle popped out of my back.
It made Julia frown in confusion.
"I thought you would help me?"
"I am. Do you need another tentacle?" I took out another tentacle and moved the two of them by her side. It made her look like a princess between two gallant knights. At least for me. I didn't know how mortals see this.
"Wait... Do you mean you will help me with your tentacles?" she guessed.
"Yes. Or should I go back there?" I said with a puzzled expression. I used to help Carl to cook with the same way before. As long as Conny wasn't there, of course. Besides, my kitchen was a little small and too cramped for two people. My tentacles would do a better job and take less space. It was more efficient.
She was stunned for a moment before a chuckle came out of her mouth.
"It's okay. It's just a bit weird."
"Are you sure?" I made sure.
"Yes. Just make sure your tentacles didn't catch any sharp object or fire."
"I have an eye on my tentacle, remember?" I moved my tentacles forward and blinked the yellow eyes in front of her.
She was stunned again and smiled awkwardly.
"Ah... I forgot about that." She exhaled and returned her gaze to the kitchen counter.
"Okay. We'll start with cutting the ingredients."
"Roger that," I said before I returned my gaze to the laptop and started browsing for some information about the unusual events that happened today.
