Chapter 59: If You Don’t Feed Me, I’ll Just Keep Staring120Please respect copyright.PENANAtKRAlBuON8
Raphael froze, her brain short-circuiting for several seconds.120Please respect copyright.PENANAH4xrGwK8Rk
This guy—he actually dared to do that!120Please respect copyright.PENANASNLIoNlzbt
And worse, he’d had the audacity to calmly murmur, “Feels pretty good,” as if it were the most natural thing in the world.120Please respect copyright.PENANAl6r4WTdfbf
Bastard! Bastard! Bastard!120Please respect copyright.PENANAMVeCvBv56n
Her face flushed red with fury and disbelief. For a split second, she nearly forgot how to breathe.120Please respect copyright.PENANAc6PrY2bXxF
"What’s wrong?" Gabriel and the others turned around when they heard the noise.120Please respect copyright.PENANA58vqJ0BBLu
Raphael’s expression was priceless. Normally, she was the picture of calm elegance, always wearing that gentle, confident smile. Rarely did anyone see her show anything else.120Please respect copyright.PENANATqbcmZlE5Z
But now? Her face was an entire drama by itself—shock, rage, embarrassment, even a flicker of guilt mixed together. Her chest rose and fell rapidly, her breathing shallow and uneven.120Please respect copyright.PENANAiDCaKP3U46
After a few seconds, she straightened, forcing her tone to remain composed. "Nothing. I just stepped on a disgusting slug."120Please respect copyright.PENANAUJ25nXmqQJ
"Eh? There are slugs here?" Satania tilted her head in confusion.120Please respect copyright.PENANALNdv7pZlfP
"Idiot, if you don’t get it, stop asking questions. You’re too loud," Gabriel muttered, stifling a yawn.120Please respect copyright.PENANAmlKW4qSKVl
"Who are you calling an idiot!?" Satania barked back, her red hair bristling like an angry cat’s tail.120Please respect copyright.PENANArAnQWMBDur
"Who do you think?"120Please respect copyright.PENANAamlaN39XLT
"You! Obviously you!"120Please respect copyright.PENANAWTbUeFqQZ3
"Tch. Then you just proved my point."120Please respect copyright.PENANAwkpcbIscNr
"Stop saying confusing things I don’t understand, you lazy angel!"120Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZNkdtGnLa
Vigne frowned faintly. The haunted house echoed faint screams from other visitors, but Raphael wasn’t someone who’d shriek over something small. Still, since Raphael clearly didn’t want to explain, Vigne decided to let it go. She only cast a subtle glance at Kouya—silent, suspicious.120Please respect copyright.PENANAk8lykEexyx
Amid Gabriel and Satania’s endless bickering, the group kept walking toward the exit.120Please respect copyright.PENANA39LXVXRmVY
Raphael slowed down, falling behind. Her eyes burned with silent fury as she hissed under her breath, "You actually dared to do that..."120Please respect copyright.PENANApKYTZN4weQ
Kouya didn’t even flinch. He simply smirked and made a subtle gripping gesture with his hand.120Please respect copyright.PENANAKqC6GHmhJH
Message received: You play with me, I’ll play with you.120Please respect copyright.PENANA77cp0JPJto
"I’ll tell Gabi-chan what you did…"120Please respect copyright.PENANAicWtgBfHG1
"Go ahead," Kouya said, shrugging casually as he walked ahead.120Please respect copyright.PENANA2SClOYSlaL
Raphael clenched her fists so tight her knuckles turned white. If this weren’t a crowded place, she’d have already blasted him with divine light until he begged for forgiveness—or worse. She could almost picture it now.120Please respect copyright.PENANAaNe4HdYihq
He’d regret that smug smile.120Please respect copyright.PENANAAYgb4MESVk
Though, she thought with a quiet huff, maybe he’d enjoy that too.120Please respect copyright.PENANAXhtNwFwBoH
...120Please respect copyright.PENANA3pSR3sBynG
The group emerged from the haunted house moments later, all of them looking completely unfazed—while everyone else stumbled out screaming or clutching their chests. The contrast was absurd.120Please respect copyright.PENANAr5HcHU4EuJ
Raphael dusted her skirt as if nothing had happened. "Let’s stop by the restroom first."120Please respect copyright.PENANA0swwsd9Bxb
"Good idea. Let’s go together," Vigne agreed. For reasons no one could quite explain, girls always treated bathroom trips as sacred bonding rituals.120Please respect copyright.PENANAITVb75QcgR
After speaking, Vigne looked at Kouya. Her expression said, You’ll wait, right?120Please respect copyright.PENANAiqWF9JzEKs
"Go ahead. I’ll grab some cold drinks," Kouya said with a lazy wave.120Please respect copyright.PENANARJn7oECRYD
His eyes met Raphael’s for half a second. That tiny glance was enough to make the air between them crackle. Neither said a word, but the message was clear: this wasn’t over.120Please respect copyright.PENANAP9wygic8a7
...120Please respect copyright.PENANAqUO1ujOGFC
Time passed quickly. By the time he checked his phone, it was noon.120Please respect copyright.PENANA3EI1zNPgHh
The sun blazed overhead, baking the pavement until it shimmered. The air smelled faintly of sugar and grilled snacks from nearby stalls. Kouya wiped a bead of sweat from his neck and sighed. It was hot enough to melt a halo.120Please respect copyright.PENANAIux5MCu2Y9
Spotting an ice cream stand nearby, he decided to treat himself.120Please respect copyright.PENANAB9tCF1anOR
He bought a cup of mochi ice cream and found an empty bench under a tree. The seat was warm from the sunlight, but the gentle shade offered some relief. The first bite was cool, creamy perfection—the rice coating soft, the filling sweet with just the right chill.120Please respect copyright.PENANAXrO0WtIOX1
Finally, some peace.120Please respect copyright.PENANAjEglovsxsN
Until he felt it.120Please respect copyright.PENANAtkdblstVPo
A faint, prickling sensation. The feeling of being watched.120Please respect copyright.PENANABrVk7p12o1
“Stare—”120Please respect copyright.PENANAjDQP5je0BK
He turned slowly.120Please respect copyright.PENANAOzC7zWEmwN
A small girl stood a few meters away, wearing a blue-and-white gothic dress that fluttered gently in the summer breeze. Her big, ocean-blue eyes were wide open, locked directly onto his hand—the one holding the ice cream.120Please respect copyright.PENANAT7CYMY4RhD
Kouya’s mouth twitched. Oh no. Not her again.120Please respect copyright.PENANAQbSGwg2jtk
"The blue-eyed dragon loli... of course. Who else would it be?" he muttered under his breath.120Please respect copyright.PENANAmbt3uYowrs
Why does she always appear when I’m eating!?120Please respect copyright.PENANASdT1POMrma
Do you have some kind of built-in ‘Food Detection Radar’ or something!?120Please respect copyright.PENANAF1xIYuB8sb
"Come here," he said, waving lazily.120Please respect copyright.PENANAYbIGNUZaQV
Kanna approached without a sound. Her expression didn’t change. Her eyes stayed fixed on the ice cream. “Stare—”120Please respect copyright.PENANAxEwzicezXk
"You came with your Kobayashi, right?"120Please respect copyright.PENANAmriL2Nr8gV
"And Lady Tohru," she said softly.120Please respect copyright.PENANA3KtomcdT8K
"Where are they now?"120Please respect copyright.PENANAxnZAUtmWQx
"They went to the restroom," she replied simply, her gaze unwavering. “Stare—”120Please respect copyright.PENANA98gOiaiyUi
Kouya sighed, defeated. "Alright, what flavor do you want?"120Please respect copyright.PENANAXKDVMe7zsZ
"All of them. I want to eat everything."120Please respect copyright.PENANAMGNQqFRR4H
He nearly choked. "You what!?"120Please respect copyright.PENANAZLWVU4ohxm
Straightforward, innocent, and completely unreasonable.120Please respect copyright.PENANAhr8yq70x5K
Even if I bought the entire freezer, you’d end up on a science lab table before you finished it!120Please respect copyright.PENANASM7gLXbhoP
"Boss, another one—mochi, right?" he called to the attendant.120Please respect copyright.PENANAVwUs4GQE7A
"Yes, sir. One moment please!" The cheerful girl behind the counter smiled brightly.120Please respect copyright.PENANAkI3zWpKdNO
Kouya leaned back against the bench, watching the crowd drift by. Kids laughed, couples held hands, and the occasional pigeon strutted between their feet like it owned the place. The smell of sugar and vanilla lingered in the air.120Please respect copyright.PENANAman0fMlyok
He took another bite of his ice cream. Soft rice skin, chilled cream, the faint sweetness spreading across his tongue—simple pleasures.120Please respect copyright.PENANAMQYZ7Bsmgy
Until once again—120Please respect copyright.PENANAOct387dgcQ
“Stare—”120Please respect copyright.PENANAnKr9GAnmFY
He looked up to find Kanna still staring at him, her blue eyes glimmering like polished glass.120Please respect copyright.PENANABwuO5Jt65w
Her expression was blank, but her intent was obvious: Feed me or suffer eternal eye contact.120Please respect copyright.PENANAgaaw3oQueX
Kouya groaned inwardly. Damn it! Your order’s almost ready! Why are you staring like that!? You look like you’re casting a hunger spell!120Please respect copyright.PENANAteTzUwuuNd
Don’t think I’ll give in just because you’re cute!120Please respect copyright.PENANAqP7p4GZCZd
From the bench nearby, a couple started whispering loud enough for him to hear.120Please respect copyright.PENANAB95RDxsH0K
"Ugh, people these days. Buying ice cream and not even sharing with his little sister? Shameful. The poor thing looks heartbroken."120Please respect copyright.PENANAt1Us1HDvjB
Heartbroken? She’s a dragon, not an orphan!120Please respect copyright.PENANAEu38dBVBMa
"Such a cruel brother," the woman sighed dramatically.120Please respect copyright.PENANAzg6TRYok4A
Oh for the love of—since when is self-control a crime!?120Please respect copyright.PENANARPsN3aNsK5
The man chimed in passionately. "If I had a sister that cute, I’d spoil her every day! Buy her everything she wants, give her candy, dress her up in the best clothes, carry her around—"120Please respect copyright.PENANAw4dltCYtuU
Yeah, sure. Until the cops carry you away for being creepy!120Please respect copyright.PENANAzi1PqtKN51
The woman giggled. "Honey, let’s have a daughter like her someday."120Please respect copyright.PENANArcuzPhMWT2
"Deal!" the man said instantly. Then he froze, realization dawning. "Wait, that kid’s mixed-race, isn’t she!? Hold on—you what!?"120Please respect copyright.PENANAaaWLDWXZW3
Kouya dragged a hand down his face. Why do I attract lunatics every time I eat something?120Please respect copyright.PENANATOLBiQ1YVa
...120Please respect copyright.PENANAkvdHiB18eL
A few minutes later, Kanna exited the shop, happily holding her own ice cream. She reached out and gripped Kouya’s sleeve, her tiny hand curling around the fabric.120Please respect copyright.PENANArEM9jSSz7X
They walked side by side, her short steps matching his calm stride.120Please respect copyright.PENANAaHEQw78GrT
Behind them came a startled voice.120Please respect copyright.PENANAXCUVYuM9lP
"Eh!? Who... who is that!?" Vigne’s wide eyes sparkled with confusion as she pointed at the little dragon girl, completely stunned.120Please respect copyright.PENANAlHShYDTj1G
