Chapter 262: I'm Your Step Sister
The Incubus System Chapter 262. I'm Your Step Sister
*Ting Tong*
The doorbell's sound interrupted us. My eyes turned to the clock which still showed 05.47 PM.
"I think our guest has arrived a bit earlier than we expected," I said.
"Should I hide myself with my hiding skill?" Foxy asked.
"How about hiding in my room?" Celia gave a suggestion.
Foxy turned to me, asking for my approval and I replied with a nod. Tiffany was different from Ruby, so she should not sneak around like Ruby did a few days ago. Besides, I could tell Foxy with my Telepathy to use her skill if something happens.
"Okay. Just let me know if you need my help," Foxy said. Then she went upstairs.
I walked towards the door and opened it.
"Good evening, Ethan," Tiffany greeted with an awkward smile, her expression a little weird. I wondered if she was a little nervous considering it was her first time visiting us. Instead of her usual clothing style, she wore jeans and a pastel-colored blouse that made her a little more feminine.
"Good evening---" I was just about to reply to her greeting, but I could see someone or rather a status above someone's head who was hiding behind the fence of my house. It was my other stalker, Ruby. But she didn't make a move and only watched us from a distance.
"May I come in?" said Tiffany again. She seemed to feel uncomfortable with Ruby's presence watching us.
"Sure," I said as I gestured to enter. Then I closed the door. While Tiffany took off her shoes near the front door.
As we walked towards the kitchen, Celia's voice came from it.
"Good evening, Tiffany. Take a seat. Dinner is ready."
"Thank you, Celia," she replied. It felt a little weird considering our last time's quarrel. Although a little awkward, Tiffany took a seat and I sat next to her.
"I never expect you will accept my invitation this fast," I started my small talk. I was quite sure it was Mrs Clea who asked her to come here. That guess strengthened after I saw Ruby earlier.
"It's completely coincidental," said Tiffany.
Celia placed a plate of Cheesy Lemon Chicken Penne in front of us before taking her seat.
"We don't have much since we rarely have guests, But I hope you don't mind with a simple dinner dish," she said with a smile. Then her smile turned cynical as her head turned to me.
"Well... Actually, I could have made a better dish if someone had told me earlier."
'Oops...'
"It can't be helped. I was late because Mrs Clea asked me to play with her son," I reasoned. Well, that was the truth.
But Celia replied to me with a 'did you forget that you can tell me via Telepathy?'.
'Shit...' Yeah, I kinda forgot about that since I concentrated too much on Elenna and Mrs Clea.
"Okay, okay. I forgot. But it's not a big deal, right?"
"I'm fine with this, Celia. It's been a long time since I ate a simple homemade dish like this," said Tiffany. I and Celia turned to her since we noticed the melancholic tone in her voice. Tiffany looked at the food in front of her with a slightly bitter smile on her lips. I could see a trace of sadness in her eyes. Maybe, the dish reminded her of her late mother or she missed her father.
Celia and I exchanged glances. Somehow we felt grateful to have each other after our parents left us.
"Try it. If you like it, I still have an extra portion in the kitchen," said Celia.
"Let's eat," I said.
After that, we ate, accompanied by a small chat. Well, I couldn't say it was a small chat since it felt like an interrogation to me. As I expected, she was looking for information about me, especially why I suddenly could fight. Moreover, I had fought a demon with her. On top of that, she had been asking a lot of trick questions about the recent demon attacks to Celia and me in turn, to make sure our answers were the same. Occasionally, she gave us light questions or let us ask her so our conversation didn't sound like an interrogation. She also asked where I was last night and I could guess it had something to do with Elenna. I simply said that I was in the hospital with Pearl and Emma. And I was sure the hospital CCTV footage could prove our presence.
For the rest, since Celia and I could talk with Telepathy, we were able to match our answers without any trouble. The only thing that troubles me was her question about my fighting ability since the association had been spying on me for a year and just stopped last week. Unfortunately, I couldn't alter her memory since she still had to tell Mrs Clea the reason. So I could only use my anger at Bern as an excuse to learn martial arts and said I started it with physical exercise at home every day. As for the rest, I said that Olivia was the one who taught me. Of course, I had also asked Olivia's permission about this. Since that still sounded a little odd, I purposely mentioned my father. Since father was also a Nephilim, I was sure he also gained great power after getting the vaccine. So all I needed to do was remind them of his oddity in the hope I looked a little more normal than him.
Although the association may put their interests in me, Mrs Clea had already said that she didn't want to let me become a demon hunter since she felt sorry for us and my father. Even if they offered it, I would simply refuse it. Besides, the will to fight came from within a person's heart and no one could force him to do so.
Besides that, I also asked her a lot of things, especially about herself and her studies. Especially since I knew she lived alone. From there I discovered her place wasn't far from Nighthallow Hospital and she attended the same college as Theo. That's why she knew him quite well. Only one thing that made me curious, did she ever meet my father at the headquarters? Or did she join after he died? Even though my curiosity piqued me, I decided to keep quiet. My father was dead, so this information wasn't useful for me.
More than half an hour had passed and our plates were empty. Celia cleared the dishes. While Tiffany and I were still chatting at the dinner table.
"Do you want to go somewhere else after this?" I asked. I wanted to ask her one other thing or rather use her to convey a message to someone important. But I couldn't say it here.
"No. Why?" said Tiffany.
"Then can you come with me for a moment? I want to ask you some quite private things," I said again.
Although Tiffany was a little confused, she agreed. We got up from our seats and moved to my room. Previously, I had told Celia that I wanted to ask Tiffany about mom. So I needed private space. Although I did want to ask that, the main thing I wanted to do was ask and tell Tiffany about the vacate letter. I hadn't told Celia yet since I didn't want her to be sad because of it. I was pretty sure I could handle it myself anyway.
"Sorry if my room is a little messy," I said as I opened my door. I could see Tiffany's face was a little tense and nervous when she came into my room.
"It's fine my room is also a mess," she replied. As she trod, her eyes swept in all directions, observing the simple furniture in my room. I bet this was the first time she walked into a man's room.
The sound of the door being locked made Tiffany turn to me with a confused expression.
"Why did you lock it?" she asked with a frown.
"I want to show you something private and important." I walked towards my desk which happened to be in the same direction as her.
"Wait! I thought we were just talking. Besides, if this thing is so private, you shouldn't have shown it to me." As I got closer, she backed away with a panicked expression and a slightly flushed face.
"No, I really need to show you," I said in a serious tone without stopping my steps.
"Let me remind you, Ethan. Although we're not connected by blood, I'm still your step sister. And you shouldn't show your private things to me." She backed away until her ass hit my desk as if I cornered her.
I really wanted to laugh since I already guessed what was on her mind, but I couldn't. What I wanted to tell her wasn't a joke and I didn't want her to think this was a joke either. I stopped near her. My eyes looked at her with seriousness while she stared at me in awkward and tense. My hands got down, reaching my bag which was on the chair next to us. As the zipper sounded, Tiffany turned her face the other way with her face getting redder.
"E-Ethan, stop it! You don't have to be that desperate!" she said in a stammering voice.
'She thinks I want to show her my d*ck, doesn't she?' I wondered what made her think like that? Was it Ruby? Since this morning I just told her I have a lot of women, so maybe Ruby told Tiffany something related to it and Tiffany thought I was some kind of fuckboy. Well… An incubus was worse than that, but I wouldn't expose my d*ck randomly either.
My hand took the vacate letter from my bag.
"You are my only hope, of course, I'm that desperate." I was sure it would make her more panicked.
"Ethan!" She panicked even more, but her expression changed after I showed the vacate letter in front of her face.
"My mom has used this house certificate as collateral to the Bank."
