The Incubus System

Chapter 633: Ow! Ow! Ow!

The Incubus System Chapter 623. Ow! Ow! Ow!

”I have to.” I muttered. ”I just wanted to say that I appreciate everything youʼve done for me,” I said, turning to the side before meeting his gaze again. ”You have done so much for me, and I am truly grateful.” I held my words as I remembered that I havenʼt even told my real identity yet. It built another guilt in my heart. But for sure, I knew what to do with his wounds.

Larry smiled and poked my shoulder with his fist. ”Stop making that face,” he said, joking around as usual. ”Itʼs disgusting. Arenʼt you tired of making others think that weʼre more than friends?”

I couldnʼt help but smile at his joke. ”Youʼre right,” I said, shaking my head.

”Besides, this is my choice. This is what all heroes do,” Larry said, taking another bite of his croissant nonchalantly without using his eating utensils. But as he opened his mouth, he grimaced in pain again. ”Ow! Ow! Ow!” I bet the wound hurt him. Still, he ate it while I was staring at him worriedly. ”I should have ordered the chocolate one,” he commented, rubbing his jaw.

”You know, Iʼm surprised your dad and mom havenʼt said anything about your wounds,” I said, changing the subject. ”Where is your dad, anyway?”

”Oh, heʼs gone again,” Larry said, rolling his eyes. ”Duty called. And my mom I managed to lie to her.” He grinned proudly.

”What did you tell her?” I asked curiously.

Larry took another big bite of his croissant before speaking again. ”I told her that I had a fight with Ruby and she slapped me in the face,” he said, shrugging carelessly as he gestured to his wounds. ”Thatʼs why I got all of this. And she believed me.” He closed the conversation with a quiet chuckle, his mouth still full of food.

I cringed at his explanation, feeling a sense of disgust wash over me. ”Is that kind of similar to what actually happened?” I asked, skepticism in my voice.

Larry looked at me, confusion on his face. ”What are you talking about? Itʼs completely different,” he said in a casual tone.

”Whatʼs different is that Ruby didnʼt just slap you, but she beat you up and you never dated her,” I pointed out, trying to make sense of the situation. ”And Iʼm surprised your mom didnʼt report her to the police.”

Larry sighed and shrugged. ”Actually, she almost did, but I managed to stop her,” he admitted, looking a little sheepish.

I raised an eyebrow in surprise. ”What did you say to your mom?” I asked, curious.

Larry hesitated for a moment before confessing. ”I told her that I cheated on Ruby, so she was mad at me and beat me up,” he said innocently, taking another bite of his food.

I let out a long exhale and shook my head from side to side, feeling a sense of disbelief wash over me. ”Let me guess. Are you saying that youʼre having an affair with ʼNana-chanʼ?” I guessed, taking another sip of my latte.

Larryʼs eyes widened in shock. ”No!” he protested, shaking his head. ”I told her that I cheated with you.”

*Cough* *Cough* *Cough*

The sudden shock of Larryʼs words caused me to almost choke on my latte, and I quickly set it down on the table to avoid spilling it. My wide eyes were fixed on him as I covered my mouth with my hand, trying to catch my breath.

”W-What?!” I exclaimed, my voice hoarse from coughing. ”Why would you tell her that?!”

Larry shrugged, looking unapologetic. ”It was the only excuse I could think of on the spot,” he said, his tone nonchalant. ”And it worked. My mom bought it, and she stopped trying to report Ruby to the police.”

I couldnʼt believe what I was hearing. ”You lied to your own mom and used me as an excuse?!” I asked in disbelief, my voice rising in anger.

Larry raised his hands to calm me down. ”Donʼt freak out. Iʼm still straight. I just had no other choice,” he said, trying to defend himself. ”If I said ʼNana-chanʼ, my mom would have tossed her out again. And she knew I had almost no female friends, so I could only think of your name.”

I stared at him in shock and disgust. ”Then what was the point of the previous dinner then?” I asked, the weight of my question heavy in the air.

Larry shrugged nonchalantly and popped the remaining croissant into his mouth. ”It was an emergency situation,” he said as if that explained everything

My jaw dropped in shock. I couldnʼt believe how he could be so casual about lying to his own mother. ʼHa whatever. Itʼs his mom anyway,ʼ I gave up. But at the same time, I couldnʼt blame him either, given that it was all because of me. I sighed, knowing that there wasnʼt much I could do about it.

”If something happens, Iʼll throw all the misunderstandings at you,” I said in a threatening tone, trying to make it clear that I wouldnʼt take the fall for his lies.

”Donʼt worry. Iʼll handle it,” Larry said confidently, giving me a thumbs up.

We decided to change the subject and spent the next hour catching up on what we had been doing over the holidays. Larry told me a lot about the demon hunter association, carefully disguising it as just a game. He mentioned an annoying higher-up official, whom I suspected was Nathan and a couple of new, cool skills he had recently learned. I could tell that he had leveled up a lot. I wondered if he had been participating in a lot of demon hunts lately.

Eventually, I realized that an hour had passed and decided that it was time for me to head home. ”I have to go. I promise to come home before dinner,” I said, getting up from my seat.

”Cool. My job also will start soon,” Larry replied, also standing up.

After paying, we left the coffee shop, and as we walked out, a girlʼs voice called out from behind us. ”Ethan...”

Larry and I turned around at the same time, and as soon as we saw Ruby standing a few meters away from us, our smiles faded.
