Chapter 622: Where's My Souvenir?

The Incubus System Chapter 612. Where's My Souvenir?

Ethan's PoV

A smile grew on my lips as I waved at Celia. Her face turned bright in an instant. She even stopped her steps and almost made a girl behind her fall. But then she apologized and walked again. Her eyes kept glancing at me to make sure that I stayed where I was. As she walked, I could also see her smile fade.

Upon her anxiety, I decided to use my Telepathy.

[You are connected with Celia Strongheart]

'Just concentrate on your ceremony, Celia. You will stumble if you keep looking at me,' I said in a teasing tone.

'Brother, you're back!' she said excitedly.

'Yes. I am.'

'Why didn't you tell me?' she complained. Luckily, she had turned her attention to the front.

'If I tell you, it won't be a surprise.' I mentioned this plan to Mia at our last meeting and asked her to pass it on to Camila. As for the elite soldiers, they had no obligation to say when they would return. They even rarely communicated with my partners due to Lord Damon's request. Even though they were his loyal servants, they were demons. They still had the instinct to eat humans. So Lord Damon simply wanted to avoid that.

'How about your stay there? Did you eat well? Are you eating humans now? Did they bully you?' She gave me a series of questions due to her curiosity.

Her question managed to make me almost let out a chuckle. Luckily, I could cover it. They would think I was crazy since my next seat was empty while on my other side a mid aged couple was busy talking to each other. To make it worse, I didn't bring my phone with me.

'It was good. I ate well and still like normal food,' I explained.

'And?'

A frown appeared on my forehead.

'And what?'

'Did they bully you?' she pointed out her meaning.

'Except the demon king who likes to pull a prank on me, no.'

'He likes to prank you? He must be awful.' She pitied me.

'Not really. He just has a hard time expressing his feelings. But overall, he is a good man.' I shook my head from side to side spontaneously. 'Uh--- a good father,' I corrected. I couldn't say he was a good demon since I knew he did some of his actions for his own benefit. Besides, a good demon didn't exist.

'I see.' She sounded more relieved. 'So did you bring me a souvenir?' She changed the subject.

I froze.

Right, souvenirs! How could I forget that? Going to the demon world was kinda the same as going overseas so it was a normal request.

'I don't bring any,' I said in regret. I was sure Celia must be curious about the demon world and would be surprised if she found out it wasn't much different there than here. 'But I can bring you a dildo or two if you want,' I quickly added.

She turned to me and stared at me intently.

'Why dildo? What makes you think I'd use it?' Her voice sounded like a complaint.

'It's the demon world. Some items contain demonic power and I'm not sure the food will suit your taste. Only certain items are made normally without using any demonic power. One of them is the dildo. What do you expect?' I said as if it was nothing.

She cringed in disgust while I replied with an innocent smile.

'What about the accessories or clothes?' she said what she wanted straight to the point.

'All of them have demonic power. Even if it's just a little bit, I'm sure the demon hunter can detect it. So it's better safe than sorry,' I explained the reason why I couldn't take any of it.

Then she returned her gaze to the front.

'Well, I guess I'd rather not get any of it then.' I could catch a wry smile on her face.

'You can count me as a souvenir,' I joked.

Again, it made her turn to me. I thought she would nag me or protest. But I was wrong. She smiled at me and showed how happy she was.

'It's a little lame. But I can accept that. I'm happy you're back, brother.' From her voice, I knew she said that from the bottom of her heart.

A smile appeared on my lips.

'I'm also glad I can come back here. Now concentrate on your ceremony, okay?' I added once she arrived at the stage steps. After that, I disconnected my Telepathy.

[You have disconnected with Celia Strongheart]

I exhaled a long breath as I swept my eyes around and enjoyed something that I had long missed. The human world's air, the breeze, the beautiful light, the people, and the sun!

'Ha I really miss it! Thank goodness they're holding this at a football stadium. ' I took a deep breath and let it out slowly, looking at the view around me. A scene I hadn't seen in a long time. I didn't expect that a small thing like this could make me happy.

Well, there was one more thing I missed. The food! I would take Celia to a restaurant after this.

On the other hand, I could feel something had changed within me. I could feel how weak humans were. I couldn't feel any demonic power and could only feel a bit of magic power from them but it was too faint and mostly weaker than a low-level demon. Besides, I was used to being surrounded by high-level demons, demon lords, and queens, and I felt a significant difference. I couldn't look at humans with the same gaze anymore, even though I was one of them before.

This warned me about how fragile the human world was.

'I guess that's why the demons think humans are weak and consider them their food.'

It made me think about strengthening my human partners. At least I wanted them to be able to protect themselves from low-level demons. But that was not an easy thing.

As I was deep in thought, a pat landed on my shoulder. Which was accompanied by a male voice that came from my side.

"Ethan Strongheart?"

Once I turned to the source of the voice, I immediately recognized who it was.
