The Incubus System Chapter 333. The Prom and The Demon V

I was silent like a statue.
'Why is he here? Is this his patrol area?' I thought. But what made me curious was whether he saw my face or not? Even if I was in my Demonic Form, it didn't mean I could let him see my face. But judging from our distance, he shouldn't have seen me clearly. Besides, I had to get him out of here since his presence would make all the guests think there was a demon here. Well, I couldn't deny that there was still one demon left, me.

A masquerade mask covered three-quarters of my face as I turned to face him.
"What do you want to talk about, demon hunter?" I said in a relaxed tone. My eyes were on Larry who walked over to me in doubtful steps. He wore a demon hunter outfit. One of his hands was gripping his chest since he was in my Demonic Influence.

Funny thing was, even though he wanted to talk to me after he stopped 5 meters in front of me, he was the one who was silent like a statue.

I folded my arms in front of my chest, raised my chain a bit and took a deep breath.
"How long are you going to waste my time?" I needed to get back on Celia. Who knew Jenny was looking for trouble with her.

"Uh... wait. Um... I'm a little nervous. My heart is beating fast. I feel like I want to confess my love to a girl," he said in a panic.

His words left me speechless. I desperately held back my cringe upon it. It even managed to make me check if my mask covered my face properly and glanced at my tail to make sure I was still in my Demonic Form. After I made sure I still had all of it, I turned my attention to him.
'Is he seriously still joking around in front of a demon?!' I thought as I restrained myself to facepalm.

"Um... First, I want to say you have a nice mask. You should tell the other demons to use that mask so they will look less intimidating," he started our conversation.

"Does that mean you want to see my face?" I wanted to make sure he didn't recognize me.

He cringed.
"No, thanks. Some ugly things are better to remain hidden." Realizing his rudeness, he corrected his words.
"Ah, I didn't mean to call you ugly. Judging by some part of your face and body, I'm sure you must be quite handsome for a demon, but maybe humans have different tastes," he blabbered in panic. That made it even worse.

"I see..." Even though it sounded annoying at least I knew he didn't recognize me.
"Is that all you wanted to tell me?" I continued.

"Of course not," he said quickly.

"Then what?" I asked.

But my question was answered with another short pause before he lowered his head, his hand and gripped his demon hunter uniform nervously.
"I wanted to say thank you for your help yesterday. Also everything you did to help us before." Finally, he let out his voice in doubt.
"I don't know why you killed your own kind, but it really helped us a lot. I know we will still be clashing with each other in the future. But since no one else is here, I want to say my proper thanks to you," he added. From his words, I could tell he didn't want to fight me.

I was happy with what he had said but yeah... His gesture really made him look like a girl who was confessing her feelings to me.
'Larry, you should stop acting like this or more people will misunderstand you.' I didn't know if I should pity him or laugh or be mad at him.
"Don't mention it. I also want to say congratulations on your progress. You are much stronger than when we first met." I wanted to say this for a long time but never had the chance to when I spoke to him as Ethan.

He raised his head a bit, showing me his proud smile.
"Thanks! I really worked hard to achieve it! I wish I could be like you one day," he said in excitement. But then he panicked again since as a demon hunter, a human, clearly his words were wrong.
"Don't get me wrong, I never wished to be a demon. I just want to be as strong as you."

"I hope you can achieve it someday and help the chairwoman to lead the association. The Senate has given her a lot of headaches, right?" Well, I was kinda sceptical about this, but I guessed there was nothing wrong with cheering a friend on.

In an instant, his smile disappeared.
"Yeah, you're right... It seems there's nothing we can hide from you," he said in a gloomy tone. It was sad considering they were heroes of the human world, yet the higher-ups treated them like pawns that could be sacrificed at any time.

"Is there anything else you want to talk about?" I asked.

"That's all. I'm quite glad you gave me the opportunity to talk to you."

"Then, we have to get out of here now," I said as I opened my wings.

"We?" he repeated in confusion.

"Yes, we." As a smirk appeared on my lips, I used my Telekinesis on him.

[A person is in your control.]

"Huh?" A stupid voice escaped Larry's mouth as soon as he realized his feet were starting to move away from the ground and his body was floating due to my Telekinesis.

Without saying anything else, I flicked my wings, bringing my body and Larry's to the sky.

"AAAAAAAAAA," Larry screamed as his body flew fast next to mine.

His scream made me stop in the mid-air and turn to him. I just wanted to ask him to stop screaming but he quickly babbled on before I could say a word.
"Ahhhhh!!! Put me down!!! Put me down!!! I'm a virgin and my fiancé is waiting for me at home, at least let me have it once before you kill me." His hands and feet moved randomly like someone who was about to drown.

It made me want to joke around with him longer. Seriously, how could he even think about 'nana-chan' at a time like this?
"Are you sure? I can put you down now," I said casually. But my evil smirk said I wasn't just going to put him down just like that.

Remembering he was in the mid-air, he was panicking even more.
"Wait, wait, wait! I mean gently! I'm a fragile creature!" he said quickly.

"Got it. Now enjoy your flight. I'll drop you off at your next destination," I said with a friendly smile.

"What destinati--- AAHHHH!" Before he could finish his words, I flew forward and he followed me by my side. My eyes were looking for a good place where I could put him down and cancel my Devil Space.

I was in a dilemma to choose between the alley and the rooftop, but in the end, I chose the first one so that Larry could immediately continue his patrol.

We descended slowly. When our feet touched the ground, I spoke again.
"I hope you keep our meeting a secret."

But he answered me with something else.
"I'm alive. I'm still alive..." he whined in a panting voice.

"Did you hear me?"

He raised his thumb. I could see his hand trembling. The other hand held his stomach. From his face, it looked like he wanted to spit out his guts.
"Definitely. I won't tell anyone. Especially the fact that you are a terrible pilot."

"Great!" I completely ignored his second sentence before I raised my hand and clenched it.
'Devil Space Deactivated.'

My Devil Space broke like glass and showed the real world. Well, it didn't look much different since the alley we were in was still empty. Once again, I flicked my wings, but this time I flew low.
"I will excuse myself." I opened a portal in the mid-air.
"Nice talking to you, Larry Grandroar," I said before I entered the portal and disappeared.
