Chapter 252: *Sigh* Here We Go Again...

"Lower your voice!" I hissed in annoyance.

After he calmed down and replied to me with a nod, I released my hand and cleaned his leftover food on my palm with a napkin. While Larry immediately stormed us with questions.

"Are you serious? So you guys are sharing a boy now? How can you accept it? Is it because you don\'t want to lose each other? Or because you love him too much? Since when? I mean--- I\'m always with Ethan every time we meet, yet I didn\'t notice anything. Did you guys meet secretly outside the college? Wait... You guys are still normal right?" His head moved side to side, shifting his gaze to Emma and Olivia who looked at him with a frown. They opened their mouths to answer Larry several times but he kept interrupting them so they chose to be silent and so did I. Luckily, his voice was much lower than before.

"Why don\'t you answer me?" After Larry\'s train of questions finished, he demanded our answers.

"Are you done asking?" Olivia said curtly.

"Uh--- Um, yeah."

After a tired breath, Emma spoke.

"Let me explain it to you. You heard it right. Both of us are dating Ethan now. Although this sounds strange, it\'s our decision. Regarding the reason, you are right. We don\'t want to lose anything, whether it\'s our feelings for Ethan ." Then she turned to Olivia. "Or our friendship." She returned her gaze to Larry.

"We do meet Ethan sometimes, outside the college, so this relationship came naturally. And..." She bent her body towards Larry a bit and glared at him. While Larry leaned backwards in reflex.

"We are still normal," Emma added.

Larry was speechless, he turned to me slowly, trying to find an answer from me.

"Just as she said," I said in a casual tone after I swallowed my taco.

"But it\'s not fair..." he whined.

"You said yourself. You already have \'nana-chan\'," I reminded him.

He looked at Olivia and Emma before he fell silent again and turned to me. From the look on his face, he was clearly thinking about something. Then somehow his face turned pale with obvious panic and worry.

"You\'re right. I have \'nana-chan\'. I will have a peaceful life with her," he said in a much calmer tone than before. His gratitude was clear from the tone of his voice.

Again, his tap landed on my shoulder, his hand grabbed it tightly and his eyes looked at me filled with sadness and pity as if I was a death row prisoner waiting for the executioner to call me.

"Ethan... You are my best friend. The most loyal and the closest friend I have. I hope you can rethink my words this morning. Sometimes you have to run from some problems. But whatever happens, just tell me, I will help you and remember... You have to value your life well." He smiled bitterly.

"You have to stay alive, buddy."

Emma and Olivia looked at Larry in confusion. While I cringed with his dramatic words, though… I understood why he said that. After what Ruby did, he certainly didn\'t want me to go through the same thing as him, but he knew it would be unavoidable since Ruby wouldn\'t let me go. No, worse, I\'d take something worse from her since I was dating two women now.

"I understand. You don\'t have to worry about me," I said with an awkward smile as I let go of his hand. After that Larry continued to eat in silence, but his concern was clear on his face and he seemed to be still deep in thought. I guessed he was thinking of a plan to rescue me if Ruby caught me one day.

"How about you, Olivia. Are you feeling better?" I made sure since she just lost her father and experienced that traumatic event. I decided to ask something else to fix this awkwardness. Besides, I was sure Larry could interpret this into last night\'s demon attack.

"I\'m feeling better. Thank you." I could see her hands shaking slightly but she immediately clenched them to cover them.

"I can\'t deny. It\'s a traumatic experience for us. I don\'t know what would have happened to us if that \'help\' had not arrived on time," she said with a gloomy tone. I knew she meant when we were coming. Since she couldn\'t say it bluntly she decided to use that ambiguous word.

"At least we can get through all those horrible things and stay alive, even if it changes our lives. And about my dad..." She smiled bitterly.

"It\'s better this way. We won\'t blame anyone." Although her father was not aware of Myra\'s original evil plan, the fact that her father had approved and helped Myra with the demon slavery plan was undeniable. He didn\'t even hesitate to sacrifice his wife and daughter for that crazy plan. It was a heavy crime either for his family or public.

I could say it was ironic since even though Myra and Miguel had their own agenda and both did it out of love. In the end, the people they loved wasted them. Well, actually, Miguel was more ironic than Myra since, until the end of his life, he didn\'t know that Lilieth had turned into a Succubus and was staying with Lord Damon willingly.

I just opened my mouth to answer, but Larry interrupted me.

"It\'s the demon hunters\' duty, Olivia. You don\'t have to think about it. As long as the demons are around us, they will continue to fight to protect this world," he said in a calm tone. I could catch his pride from the tone of his voice and the expression on his face.

We immediately caught Larry\'s misunderstanding, yet we couldn\'t explain anything since the \'demons\' that the demon hunters fought last night were fake.

"Uh... Yeah. Of course, I\'m really grateful that the demon hunters came to help us on time," Olivia said with an awkward smile.

"The demon hunters really work hard to protect the human world." Emma decided to play along, even though she already realized how slow the association was compared to me and other generals. She knew they needed to fix it right away or the human world could only depend on Lord Damon\'s subordinates.

"The most important thing is, all of you are safe," I said to end this play since three of us knew what happened.

"Then can you tell us how they helped your family?" Larry\'s voice suddenly turned excited.

"What?" Olivia said with a cringe. It seemed like Emma had already told her that Larry was there last night.

"You know." Larry patted my shoulder confidently without taking his eyes off Olivia.

"Ethan was also saved by a demon hunter before. Who knows you were saved by the same demon hunter last night," he showed his point shamelessly.

I sighed and rolled my eyes to the side.

\'Here we go again...\'

Olivia\'s brows furrowed even more. Her eyes glanced at Emma as if to ask \'aren\'t demon hunters supposed to hide their identities?\'. But Emma could only reply with an awkward smile since Larry was always excited about how other people view his heroic actions.

"I think we should get to our class now, Olivia." Emma decided to save our ears from this pointless talk since I was sure she remembered how Larry asked me to replay his heroic deeds over and over in front of Theo.

And Olivia immediately caught her intention.

"Oh, you\'re right!" Olivia\'s hand quickly took her bag and her cup.

"Sorry, Larry. You can find it out on the news," Olivia said as she stood up from her chair in hurry. So did Emma.

"But-"

Before Larry could say anything, Olivia interrupted him.

"See you later, Ethan."

Meanwhile, Emma said goodbye to Larry in a different way.

"Don\'t forget to clean up your food, Larry," she reminded.

"Later," I said. Then both of them ran away.

Larry was silent with a pout as his eyes stared at his heroic act\'s witness away from him.

"I wonder if she\'s embarrassed," he mumbled.

While I pretended not to hear him and took another bite of my taco since I was already speechless with the unique demon hunter sitting next to me.
