(Un)tragic Romeo\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I walked over to the empty seats in the Cafeteria with a cup of coffee in my hand. While Larry brought a tray of a sandwich and a drink beside me. After we were kicked out of the library, Larry and I decided to grab some coffee at the Cafeteria. While Emma and Olivia went to the printer room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You shouldn't call Olivia like that,\" I complained as I took a seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What can I say? She looks like a crazy bodyguard to me.\" Larry took a seat across from me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She's acting like that, not because she wants it.\" After I knew about her family, I understood her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, I'll try.\" Then he took a bite of his sandwich indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sighed and took a sip on my coffee. Actually, I still wanted to nag him, but I remembered what happened to him yesterday, so I cancelled my intention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, I fowgot to tew you. How about we hav diwnner wit my famewly tomowow? I just fowund a goow cafe in Nighthallow City last night,\" he said in a mouthful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I chuckled since I remembered his challenge yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please don't say you'll bring 'nana-chan',\" I said in a teasing tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course not!\" he retorted quickly. Then he looked at the sandwich in his hand in annoyance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know... my mom almost threw it away this morning. Good thing I was able to save it,\" he pouted. Then he took another big bite as if he was venting his frustration to that innocent sandwich.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you moved it to a safe place?\" I asked as I took another sip of my coffee. What I meant was his demon hunter uniform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted his head, showing his sullen face to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, I had no choice but to lock 'nana-chan' in the wardrobe. I don't understand why my mom acted that cruel...\" His eyes stared sadly at the sandwich in his hand for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Though I just washed it last night ...\" he muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>* Cough * * Cough * * Cough *\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I choked after I heard his words. My hand quickly lowered my coffee cup, while another covered my mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong with you?\" asked Larry with a frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait. You washed it? I mean --- Have you used it before?\" I asked in disbelief as soon as I could make my voice. I didn't expect him to be that desperate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, I used it. I used it every night,\" he said with a frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Geez, why do you think I put it on my bed.\" Then he took the last bite of his sandwich with an annoyed face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My jaw dropped in shock after hearing his confession. I never thought he was that pathetic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You use 'nana-chan' every night?\" I confirmed once again in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ye ---\" He paused as he realized something. Then he started to panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I don't use 'nana-chan'. I mean --- I do use it but it's not what you think,\" he explained awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Wait ... Maybe what he means is his demon hunter uniform,' I remembered there was an unwashed uniform under his bed yesterday. Maybe he just washed it and put it in 'nana-chan' but his mother threw it away, so he had to wash it again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have to believe me, I'm not a body pillow rapist! I'm innocent!\" he insisted. His tone sounded like a criminal who was trying to defend himself in front of a detective who was interrogating him. His eyes looked at me, showing how serious he was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh! My girlfriend agreed to have dinner with us tomorrow. My mom will come with us too,\" he created an alibi and proof that he was innocent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, okay. I trust you,\" I comforted him as I used my skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Observation.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Name: Larry Grandroar] [Age: 19]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Level 12] [Race: Human]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[HP: 258\u002F258] [MP: 101\u002F101]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Skills: Holy Chain lv 5, Mana Strike lv 5, Holy Blast lv 1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Emotion: panic]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Love meter: 0\u002F10]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Condition: Normal.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Weakness: Chest, Neck, Head, Armpits]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Talent: Strong Body (Pain endurance and has a better defence rate than other races.)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Relationship: Single]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Profession: Demon Hunter, College Student.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I realized his relationship status didn't change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Girlfriend? Yeah, right ...

Even though I had controlled Ian and the others to prepare everything, I also had to prepare myself for tomorrow and make sure Miguel and Myra fall into my trap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's okay. My work schedule is also 06.00 PM tomorrow. I know it's too early, but I think we'll start our dinner at 4:30 PM. What do you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My brain deep in thought to arrange my schedule since I was getting busy lately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay,\" I agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he smirked and narrowed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't forget to bring your girlfriend, okay?\" he reminded me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I gasped when I just realized I agreed before asking one of my partners. Besides, I was still in a dilemma about who I should bring to the dinner. Actually, I wanted to bring Olivia, but after seeing her state and her family's chaotic condition, I decided to cancel my intention. Whereas I couldn't possibly bring Diamond, since it would be a scandal for Diamond College. And I could imagine Larry's laughter if I brought Celia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I hope Emma will agree to company me tomorrow.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wahahaha!\" Larry's laughter brought my attention back to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" I asked with a frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you just pretending to have a girlfriend?\" His chuckles were heard between his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sighed and replied with a flat stare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't equate me with you,\" I said calmly before I took another sip of my coffee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked a little panicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean?\" he said awkwardly, his eyes glancing from side to side trying to escape my sight, like a thief caught in the act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I smirked since I knew I guessed it right. That's why he looked panicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing my smirk, he raised his head and looked at me with a serious gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tomorrow I will prove it to you. You will be amazed with my girlfriend. There are so many men who like her but she refuses because she loves me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ho-- Really?\" I said as I leaned my back against my chair casually. My arms were folded in front of my chest and my smirk remained on my lips, showing I didn't believe his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, I'm serious.\" He leaned his body forward and turned his head from side to side before returning his gaze to me as if he was going to tell me an important secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She's really deep in love with me. She has been my stalker for several weeks, giving me things even though I didn't ask for it and came to my house for no reason.\" He shook his head before returning his gaze to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am truly touched by her sincerity. That's why…\" He raised his head looking up at the sky from the large window at our side, his hand clutched his chest. A wistful smile appeared on his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I decided to accept her love. Even though I must become the other men's enemy. After all, breaking a woman's heart is not for a gentleman like me ...\" A long breath escaped his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me be a tragic hero for her beautiful love. I will always be her Romeo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A burst of laughter came out of my mouth since I couldn't take it anymore. He should have joined the drama club instead of being a demon hunter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to me with an annoyed face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, I mean it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know, your girlfriend sounds more like a psycho than a normal woman,\" I said as I could make my voice and swallow the rest of my laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you talking about? Of course, she's a normal woman. I'm the one who makes her like that, because she loves me too much!\" He sighed once again and shook his head in disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ethan, I know I won't be able to compete with you in academics, but when it comes to love, you should learn a lot from me. My love story is similar to the romance movie.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I covered my mouth with my hand once again to hold back my laughter. My tears began to appear in the corners of my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, I trust you. I trust you,\" I gave up since my stomach started to ache from my laughter. Besides, I knew he was already gone too far just to maintain his pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He snorted in annoyance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know you don't believe me. We'll see about that tomorrow,\" he said irritably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course. I can't wait to meet your girlfriend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1490,"2026-06-05T22:19:02.400Z",1,"novelbin.me","72f772c823cf373d0529a8f84d657b706bb5b5124a694951c7670eefe3214ba2","the-incubus-system-chapter-141","the-incubus-system-chapter-139",873,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-incubus-system-cover.jpg"]
