The Incubus System Chapter 178

The Incubus System Chapter 178. Underwear Stealer

Ruby turned to me with a flushed face and smiled sweetly.

"Of course I ---" Her words stopped and her smile faded when she got a better look at me. Her eyes were fixed on my jeans before shifting to my t-shirt. Her disappointment was clear on her face. Then her gaze shifted to her cellphone screen which caught only the dark blue colour of my jeans.

"Tsk!" A clicking sound of disappointment came out of her mouth.

'Wait... Did she want to take a photo of my d*ck? That's even worse than a nude photo!' It seemed like she thought I just finished taking a shower, so she pretended to fall and pulled my basket. Unfortunately, I already wore my clothes. But I was quite surprised why Celia could let Ruby in and even let her go upstairs despite my previous warning.

Ruby sat on the floor with her head bent down, she didn't even answer my question.

'Does she regret what she did?' I thought. I just got down and started picking up one of the clothes that had been scattered under my feet. But then I realized she didn't regret her actions or was disappointed. Her face flushed, her breath was heavy and a lecherous smile on her face as her eyes were fixed on my underwear in her hand.

'What the hell ?!' I snatched it from her hand in a panic. And she defended it in reflex, making us look like two perverts fighting over underwear.

"Ruby!" I snapped with a glare. I often heard how a perverted guy collected the girls' underwear. But this was the first time I saw a girl want to take a boy's underwear.

Hearing my snap, she released it reluctantly.

"I-I just wanted to help you tidy it up as my apology," she said with innocent puppy-like eyes.

'Hahaha! Help me tidy it up? Yeah, right! ' I thought irritably.

"I can tidy it up myself. Please wait for me in the living room." My hand moved to pick up the clothes that were scattered around me and put them back in the basket as fast as I could.

She was silent for a moment before smiling sweetly and standing up.

"Alright. I'm sorry for bumping into you. I was so worried about you after hearing about the demon attack at Nighthallow Station. That's why I'm here to make sure you and Celia are okay." She turned around and I could catch her hand hiding something.

"I'll be waiting with Mrs Clea downstairs." I grasped what happened. Looks like she and Mrs Clea came to my house to ensure my safety and Celia's. And since Celia was too busy with Mrs Clea, Ruby took the opportunity to go upstairs. Also since there was no announcement that Foxy was in danger, I guessed she already hid.

Ruby was just about to leave, but I stopped her.

"Wait!"

Her steps stopped.

I extended my hand.

"Give back my underwear," I said in an annoyed tone.

She paused for a moment before turning around quickly, making her lower dress bloom up and slightly open. Even though her movement was very fast, I could catch her hand tucking my underwear into her underwear.

"What do you mean?" she said with an innocent face. She showed her hands which were empty and pouted.

"How could I do something like that?" she sulked.

I took a deep breath and lowered my hand. My eyes kept staring at her with a flat stare. If I said she hid it in her underwear, she would say I was the one trying to peek at her.

She smiled mischievously at me and giggled after she realized I looked at her lower dress. Her hands covered it as if I tried to peek on her.

"Ethan, you're naughty ~" Then she turned around and just resumed her steps.

I knew she thought I couldn't do anything, but of course, I wouldn't let her win.

"Ruby," I called her with a calm tone. My hands kept moving to tidy up the rest of the clothes.

"I just wanted to tell you. There is a naughty ghost in this house who likes to tease the guests. Especially rude guests," I warned her.

And she replied with a smile. I knew she thought I just was bluffing.

"Really? I wonder where the ghost is ~?" Then she ended it up with a naughty giggle and continued her steps.

Without wasting time, I connected myself with Foxy.

[You are connected to Foxy.]

'Foxy, can you hear me?' My feet walked towards the laundry room with the basket in my hand.

'Yes, Master. What is wrong?' she replied.

'Are you with Celia and Mrs Clea?' I guessed.

'How do you know? Actually it's not just Mrs Clea but ... 'After a short pause, Foxy's voice turned panicked.

'Master, Ruby is gone!'

I sighed since I expected it. After I put down the basket, I walked towards the stairs.

'Ruby just stole my underwear and she hid it in her underwear. Can you retrieve it for me? ' I asked.

'Eh? Did she steal your underwear? ' I caught her confusion clearly.

'Okay, I'll take it back.'

'Thank you.'

[You have disconnected with Foxy.]

My feet walk down the stairs. As I arrived downstairs, I saw Ruby sweep her gaze around her in a puzzled expression like she was looking for something. Meanwhile, Celia and Mrs Clea's voices came from the entrance.

"What is wrong?" I asked in a relaxed tone. My feet moved towards her and a smirk on my lips.

"Is that naughty ghost bothering you?" I teased.

"Ah ... Uh ..." She was speechless. Her face looked a little pale. Her eyes swept around her.

"Of course not... I just--I just forgot where the exit was," she reasoned in a slightly panicked tone.

Meanwhile Foxy reconnected with me.

[You are connected to Foxy.]

'Master, I got it ~' Her voice showed how happy she was.

'Thank you, Foxy. Please hide until they leave. '

'Okay ~'

[You have disconnected with Foxy.]

"Ruby! You shouldn't trespassing." Mrs Clea's angry voice came from our side accompanied by her and Celia's footsteps.

I turned to Mrs Clea. Her anger was visible and her eyes were staring intently at Ruby who could only lower her head. While Celia who was standing by her side looked panicked since she couldn't stop them before.

"Good evening, Mrs Clea. Ruby has said your intention for visiting us. Thank you for your attention to me and Celia," I said in a calm tone. Somehow seeing her made me remember Tiffany's words. It was just that I wanted to confirm it again through Emma.

Mrs Clea sighed, trying to swallow her irritation with Ruby's impudence.

"Good Evening, Ethan. I hope you can forgive Ruby," she said apologetically.

"It's fine," I said with a smile. My brain began to wonder if my father had not died, maybe I had called the woman in front of me 'mom'. I knew she had tried to help Celia and me even though it was against her own organization's rules. Unfortunately, the demons killed me, when she let her guard down. I turned to Ruby and decided to teach her a little lesson.

"But I hope she doesn't repeat it again. Because a reckless girl isn't my type," I said with a smile.

Ruby's face suddenly turned pale after hearing it.

"Since both of you are fine, we'll excuse ourselves," said Mrs Clea. Her hand grabbed Ruby's hand. Totally ignored Ruby's pale face even though I was sure she was aware of it.

Ruby took a glance at me before lowering her head again.

"Okay ..." she looked like a kid who didn't want to come home from her friend's house.

We walked towards the exit and as we arrived at the entrance, they turned their heads at us.

"Good Night," said Mrs Clea with a slight nod.

But instead of answering her, I said something else.

"Mrs Clea, thank you for looking after us. I hope we can maintain our good relationship despite whatever happens," I said. I knew with our status, we were natural mortal enemies. But I didn't want her to turn into my enemy.

Even though she looked confused, she replied with a smile.

"Of course. "

"Good Night," I said. After replying to me with a slight nod, they left and Celia closed the door.
