Chapter 202: Why Did You Do This...
The Incubus System Chapter 202. Why Did You Do This...
My eyes stared at my portal which was getting smaller before it disappeared in front of me.
[Celia Strongheart and Foxy have arrived at their destination]
[The portal has closed! ]
Like before, after we finished our breakfast, I ordered Foxy to follow Celia. Although Celia objected at first, she finally agreed after I told Foxy would be bored if she stayed at home all day. Whereas I couldn't take her with me since I would execute my plan today. Apart from that, I also told Celia that I would be home late tonight.
My hands moved to clean up the table and took the dishes to the sink as I connected myself to Foxy.
[You are connected to Foxy.]
'How is it?' I asked.
'Everything is going well, Master. No one caught us,'she replied. As always, she was using her hiding skill.
'Good, please take good care of Celia,' I said.
'Okay.'
After that, I ended our conversation.
[You have disconnected with Foxy.]
I washed the dishes, cleaned the table and went to take a shower. After wearing my clothes, since I still had a lot of time, I decided to check my system especially about my Demon's Rule skill, I also searched for more information and news about Myra, Miguel, Tempestechnologies and Nightbough. corp via the internet. But since I didn't get any meaningful information except cheap gossip, I finally decided to study for next week's exams.
The clock ticking sound filled my room as I sat with my back against my bed's headboard. Occasionally my hand swung to my side to turn a thick book that floated in front of me with my Telekinesis skill. Of course, before that, I had closed my window curtain to prevent Ruby and Mrs Clea from catching me using this ability.
After I finished, I stretched out my hand and my book floated into it. Then I glanced at the clock near me.
10.17 AM
My class started at noon and ended at 03.00 PM today, so I still had plenty of time. But I decided to leave for College early to hang out with Emma and Olivia since their class was earlier than mine. I got up from my bed, stuffed my books into my bag and walked down the stairs to put on my shoes. As I just put my bag on the sofa, the doorbell's sound came.
"Can you speak more clearly?" I demanded bluntly. I was in a bad mood now, so I was not interested in playing stupid games like yesterday. My mind was full about the crack problem and my fruitless investigation's results, also my emotions were still unstable because of the vacate letter.
"Uh ... I want to go to work. Shall we go together?" Her hesitation was still clear.
"No, thanks. I still want to take care of a few things at home," I refused without further ado. Besides, I wanted to go to my college with my portal skill.
Her disappointment was clear on her face and she lowered her head.
"Is there anything else you need?" I decided to end our conversation.
She didn't answer me. I knew she was sad because I turned her down, but I needed my space to calm myself.
"Since you ---" I was just about to end it, but she spoke again.
"I'm sorry..."
I was stunned, not only because of her words but also because as soon as she lifted her head, I could see her teary eyes and regretful face.
"I know what I did yesterday was wrong, but I never thought you would be this angry at me ... Please don't hate me ..." she continued in a gloomy tone.
'Does she really regret it?' Since I doubted her, I decided to use my observation skill to check her emotions and from it, I could conclude that she was really sorry about it.
"I've forgiven you. Just don't repeat it again. I've got a lot of work lately, so I don't have time to fool around," I gave her a little explanation.
"I understand. I know you're busy but today is my last day at Mrs Clea's house. Besides, the Nighthallow Station's incident was terrifying, so I thought ..." she took a glance at me. I knew she hoped that I could accompany her for one last time either because of her feelings or because she wanted to protect me from the demons since one of her emotional statuses was 'worried'.
"Fine. But this is the last time and I can only accompany you to the station. Are you fine with it?" Finally, I gave her a chance. But of course, if she still wanted to play with me and tried to follow me to college, I wouldn't hesitate to get on the wrong train and escape with my portal skill, leaving her to play hide and seek alone.
"The last time?" she muttered in objection. After a tired breath left her mouth, she spoke again.
"I understand," she replied in a slightly gloomy tone. It seemed like she had realized her mistake.
"Wait a second." I took my bag and put on my shoes.
"Are you okay to leave your work behind? I can wait if you haven't finished it," she said worriedly.
"It's fine. I'll continue it at my college." I locked the door.
"Let's go." And we walked out of my yard.
