The Incubus System Chapter 163. A Family Warmth

As soon as I came out of my portal, I was already in my room, had deactivated my Demonic Form and returned to my human form.

[The portal has closed! ]

”Brother!” said Celia. At the same time, Foxy also called me. And they quickly ran, hugging me in worry.

”Iʼm sorry I made you worry,” I said with a smile as I hugged them.

Only briefly, they released their embrace. While my hand took off my flu mask.

”Did you get it?” Celia asked in worry. She knew that photo could put our identities in danger.

”Yes, I already deleted it,” I replied.

”What did you do to her?”

”Not much. I just threatened her so she wouldnʼt do this reckless thing again. Sheʼs too reckless for a reporter anyway.”

”Is she a bad guy?” asked Foxy.

”Sheʼs not a bad guy, but if she manages to expose my identity, weʼll be in danger.”

”But you didnʼt hurt her, did you?” asked Celia again. It seemed like she was afraid that her brother would turn into a murderer.

”Of course not. I wonʼt kill innocent people,” I calmed her down.

Celia let out a sigh of relief.

”Looks like we have to be more careful ...” Then she turned to me.

”Especially you. I donʼt want the demon hunters to catch you or ...” Celia was silent, but I knew what she meant.

I pulled Celia back into my arms and brushed her hair gently.

”Iʼll be more careful.” I calmed her down and she responded by hugging me tightly.

”You have to ...” she whispered.

”Oh, speaking of demon hunters. You have to be careful of Ruby, especially Mrs Clea.” Since Celia already knew my identity, I had to warn her about this.

”Why?”

”They are strong demon hunters. And Mrs Clea is the demon hunter associationʼs Chairwoman.”

Celia released my hug and looked at me in surprise.

”Doesnʼt that mean both of you live under her nose? Shouldnʼt you move to another place?” she said worriedly.

”Itʼs fine. I think this is a good thing. They wonʼt think their neighbours are demons. Besides, they canʼt detect Foxy and me,” I explained calmly.

Celia let out a sigh of relief.

”Thank goodness.”

”Oh, one more thing. I want you to avoid Ruby. If she comes, donʼt say anything about our family and me.” Seeing that Ruby came to me this morning, she could be trying to look for my information through Celia.

”Ruby? Why? I never gave her our address,” she said with a frown.

Foxy, who had been silent, giggled.

”Because Ruby fell in love with master,” she said in a teasing tone.

Celia turned to me asking for my explanation.

”Is it true?”

”Yes. Sheʼs the one who beat Bern and Franz yesterday and now she lives at Mrs Cleaʼs house as her ʼSister in lawʼ.”

”What…?” Celiaʼs jaw dropped in shock and her eyes widened slightly.

”You know ... Iʼm surprised that you have so many fans now.”

”You should be proud to have a popular brother like me,” I said in a joking tone.

But out of my expectation, Celia pouted in a sad face.

”But you are getting busier because of it ...”

My face turned gloomy in guilt.

”Iʼm sorry ...” I realized I had so much to do lately. But I had no other choice but to do it. The demonʼs attacks were getting worse, on the other hand, I wanted to protect my partners.

Without saying anything, Foxy hugged Celia gently.

”Foxy ...” said Celia as her eyes diverted to Foxy who has a smaller body than her.

”Calm down, Iʼll accompany you,” said Foxy with a smile.

”Besides, I still have to learn more about the human world. I hope you can teach it to me ---” She took a glance at me.

”Since master is too busy.”

A smile began to develop on her lips before her hands hugged Foxy.

”Of course!” said Celia happily.

I smiled as I tightened my hug on Celia. While my other hand shifted to stroke Foxyʼs hair gently. A happy nostalgic feeling began to develop in my heart. I felt so relieved after telling Celia my secret and so glad she accepted me, she even accepted Foxy. But what made me so happy was that I could feel a family warmth again.

”Celia ... Foxy ... Thank you ...” I said in a gentle voice.

06.36 PM

”Eh ??? You want to go out again ?!” Celia protested with a pout.

”Master, arenʼt you too busy?” said Foxy with a frown.

”I was visiting my friend at the hospital when I got an announcement that both of you were in danger. So I pretended to have a stomach ache to go to your place with my portal skill. Itʼs over half an hour already, Iʼm afraid my friends think I passed out in the toilet, ”I explained.

”Then are you going back for dinner?” asked Celia. Despite her displeased face, she couldnʼt say anything.

”Yes, but maybe a little late.” I had an appointment with Pearl at her mansion at 07.00 PM since I couldnʼt go to the club to avoid Miguelʼs suspicions.

”At what time?” said Celia.

”Maybe around 09:00 PM?”

Celia narrowed her eyes, her expression did not change.

”Fine at 09.00,” she replied.

”If youʼre hungry, just eat your dinner without me.”

”No.” Celia turned to Foxy and embraced her shoulders gently like her own little sister.

”I want to make a small welcome party for Foxy. Thatʼs why I hope we can eat together like a family.”

”But I canʼt eat human food,” said Foxy with an innocent face.

”I know. Itʼs just symbolic. For your food --- ehem,” Celia cleared her throat awkwardly with a flushed face in embarrassment.

”You can ask your master.”

”Okay,” said Foxy happily. Her tail wagged in excitement.

”Besides, I have to eat a lot so I can evolve faster,” she added.

”Evolved?” Celia and I said at the same time of shock. Celia turned to me in confusion.

”You donʼt know about that either?”

”No. I just know that as she gets older she will grow more tail and every time she has sex with me she will get stronger.”

Celiaʼs brows furrowed.

”What?” She turned to me and Foxy alternately in confusion after hearing my explanation.

”Demon surely is confusing.”

”Can you tell me about your evolution?” I asked.

”Fox demons have two ways to grow. The first is based on age and the second based on power. With that power we can grow faster, thatʼs why so many Fox Demons devote themselves to a noble demon so we can evolve faster, ”Foxy explained.

”If you evolve, will your shape change like the demons on the train earlier?” Celia asked in worry.

Foxy frowned.

”Of course not, they are Hounds, not fox demons. I will only grow taller and look more mature.” She grinned innocently and hugged Celia.

”Just like you.”

”Eh ??? But youʼre cuter like this,” whined Celia in a spoiled tone.

”But Iʼll remain a weak demon if I stay like this.” Foxy lowered her head sadly.

”And I wonʼt be able to do anything for master.”

”Celia, only the law of the jungle applies in the dark dimension. Thatʼs why Foxy has to get stronger to protect herself,” I explained.

”Is that so ...” Celia said in disappointment. But then she turned to Foxy and smiled.

”Then I hope you will get stronger and kick those ugly demons!” Celia encouraged her.

Foxy nodded.

I glanced at the clock.

06.46 PM

”I have to go now.” I had to get my bag and sweater. Also explained to Larry since I was sure he would interrogate me since he saw me running in a hurry earlier.

”Okay, take care,” they said.

After replying with a nod I opened my portal to the hospital.
