Chapter 70: How To Act Normal?
Seven Sins System Chapter 70. How To Act Normal?
We went to the diner next to the academy. It was a bit crowded for me and the interior didn't look like a restaurant where a couple spent their dinner. Not to mention, it didn't have any romantic vibe at all.
According to Darren, this was the best dinner place in the city and he often went with his girlfriend. But judging from Julia's response, it seemed that students' thresholds and teachers were different.
Luckily, Julia didn't mind it and said that she wanted to try this place for a long time since the students said the food was so good. And I admitted even though the food tasted foreign, I could say it wasn't bad and I kinda like it. So did Julia. Plus the price was inexpensive. So it was a win-win for me.
The only thing that made me a little uncomfortable was the people's gazes. I even caught some of them taking photos of me with their phones in secret. Although I was used to this kind of attention in the shadow realm, I didn't like it when they did it in my personal time. Especially when I ate and dated.
But I couldn't reserve a whole restaurant for my date like what I usually did in the shadow realm. Not to mention, the duel had gone viral, so I couldn't expect less from this. Well, at least they didn't go as far as asking to take a photo with me or interrupt my date.
"You surely attract other people's attention," said Julia in a teasing tone after she wiped her mouth with a napkin.
I put my empty glass on the table. A heavy exhale came out of my mouth.
"Don't blame me for that. I work indoors, not having any colleagues and literally do what common mortals do. Yet they are attracted to me. I seriously don't know what else to do," I complained. This wasn't a joke since as a secret agent I should have kept my profile low, but this was the opposite.
I glanced at the window beside me. My sight was fixed on where Rachel was hiding behind a tree in front of the diner.
"I even have a lot of stalkers now," I added.
Her giggle made me return my attention to her.
"You can't say what you do is the same as what others do. You're different," she said.
"Then tell me what makes me different? And how to act normal?" I asked with a frown.
She tapped her index finger under her lip. "Hmm... that's a tough question," she hummed with a puzzled expression.
"Just tell me," I demanded. Ñøv€lRapture marked the initial hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.
I glanced around us, making sure no one was trying to eavesdrop on us before I leaned on her.
"Envy is one of the deadly sins and I'm sure it will lead to his death." Again, I said it in a low voice.
Her expression turned tense. A long exhale came out of her mouth. Even though she didn't say anything, I realized that death was a taboo subject for mortals. Especially if it was about their acquaintances. So I decided to turn our conversation around.
"Anyway, can I ask you something?" I asked without pulling myself away.
"Sure," she answered.
"Can you keep an eye on Evie and Rachel for me? You don't have to follow them, just find out what they want from me. Especially Rachel," I requested.
A frown appeared on her forehead. "Evie and Rachel? Why?" she asked.
"Evie is an empath. It seems that she sensed something from my emotions after I had a strange dream last night. While Rachel..." I glanced at the window on our side.
"It seems Theo forced her to discover my secret. I tried to help her but she was too scared to open up to me." While I couldn't get rid of Theo yet due to the viral video.
"Theo did that?" asked Julia in disbelief.
"That's just my guess. But I bet it's 80% correct. Otherwise, she wouldn't have come to the infirmary this afternoon and started stalking me ever since. She's even watching us from behind a tree," I said as I pulled myself into my seat.
