The Incubus System Chapter 238. A Nice Meal

The footsteps' sounds came from in front of us accompanied by Pearl's voice interrupted our conversation.

"Let me introduce them to you," said Pearl to the doctor beside her. And we stood up from our seats in reflex.

"This is Ethan, Emma and Yuffy." Pearl introduced us to the doctor.

"And the other one is Luna," she said as she pointed at Luna who was playing with the fishes by tapping on the aquarium glass. Then Pearl turned to us.

"Guys, this is Alice. This hospital's owner and the doctor who will treat the girl." We decided to simply say that we found Miranda passed out not far from here and we recognized her as one of our friend's maids, Myra. Since Myra said she was busy, we decided to bring the maid here to make sure she was okay. Camila and Olivia also had put new clothes on the maid since we couldn't bring her in my ripped shirt.

"Nice to meet you, Ms Alice," we said. My eyes looked at the friendly-faced rabbit Hybrid-beast who was wearing a doctor's outfit with a stethoscope hanging on her neck. She was a little shorter than Pearl, her age was around Camila's. Her short, neck-length hair was pinkies beige and her eyes were black. Both of her hands were in her white coat pockets.

Meanwhile, Alice was observing us in detail. Her gaze shifted from Emma, Yuffy and me.

"Stop it! You will creep my friends out," said Pearl with a frown.

"I'm just a little confused since it's the first time you brought normal-looking people to me. Not as usual," said Alice without taking her eyes off us. Her brows were wrinkled like Pearl. I could guess Alice said that since it was clear from our looks we were not from Ledred. Besides, I thought she knew Pearl's social circle wasn't with 'innocent' looking people like us.

Pearl exhaled in annoyance.

"Stop making fun of me."

Catching Pearl's annoyance, Alice turned to her.

"Ah, sorry. I didn't mean it. I was just a little surprised." And Pearl replied to her with another pout.

"Anyways, it's getting late and the demon attack is getting worse lately. Go home now. You don't have to worry about that girl. She is fine. She is just a little weak. I'll let you know if I find an anomaly," said Alice politely.

"Okay. Thanks for your help," said Pearl. Previously we had said that Myra would pick that girl later.

"Don't worry," said Alice.

After that, we said goodbye to her and left.

Immediately, I put the glass on the kitchen counter and ran to Celia's room. Faintly, I could catch a strange sound coming from inside her room. My heart was pounding as my hand pushed the door in hurry. I was afraid she would attack Celia out of hunger.

"Foxy! Celia!"

Fortunately, my guess was wrong. I froze as my eyes looked at Celia and Foxy who were playing and tickling each other on the bed like real siblings. It was their giggle that was heard by me. They stopped and turned to me.

"Welcome home, brother," said Celia.

While a bigger smile appeared on Foxy's lips.

"Master!" Without hesitation, she came over to me and hugged me.

"I thought you forgot about me," she said with a pout. Obviously what she meant was her meal.

"I'm sorry..." I said as I gently stroked her hair. I didn't have any excuses for this. Besides, I was the one who asked her to be my servant and as a master, I should be more responsible for this.

"You forgot to feed her, right?" I caught a hint of annoyance on Celia's face and voice.

I could only respond with a nod with a regretful expression. My eyes locked on Celia who was sitting on the bed. Somehow, something strange tickled my heart, but I didn't know what that feeling was.

Seeing my regret, Celia sighed as her expression softened.

"What about you? Have you eaten yet?"

"I have. Thanks for the soup," I said.

"Then feed her now. She has been waiting for you."

After answering her with another nod, I turned around and walked towards the door with Foxy.

"Brother..." Celia's voice made me turn to her.

"Yes?"

Celia looked at me for a moment in silence.

"I have a little question regarding my study, can you help me later?" she finally asked.

"Okay."
