Chapter 55: Lost House of Luminance
Klaus headed to his dormitory room after studying runes in the library. Naturally, he made a quick stop at the cafeteria, grabbing two bags filled with various delicacies. Of course, these weren’t just for him, he had to feed the lazy succubus waiting in his room as well.
Setting that aside, his thoughts gradually drifted elsewhere. For some reason, Yuki hadn’t been attending their rune study sessions lately, and when he asked her about it, she simply replied with, "Sorry, I’m busy," before abruptly ending the call on the other end.
No matter how he looked at it, something felt off. When had she become so busy that she couldn’t attend their study sessions?
Ah, no. It was selfish of him to think that way. Perhaps she had simply decided to focus on her pilot training rather than waste time with him. Yes, there was no reason for him to expect all of her time. It wasn’t like they were dating or anything of the sort, and there was a strong chance Yuki didn’t even understand what dating was.
They were simply study partners. That was the extent of their relationship.
Despite knowing that, I can’t help but feel a certain way. Could it be that I really enjoyed her company? As I thought, I’m becoming too greedy.
With a sigh, Klaus shook his head and quickened his pace toward his dorm. There was no point in overthinking things. If Yuki had something going on, it was her business. He had no right to interfere whatsoever.
Still, the lingering sense of unease refused to fade.
When he reached his door, he fished out his keycard and swiped it. As the lock clicked open, he pushed the door inward and stepped inside, only to be greeted by the sight of a certain succubus sprawled across his bed, lazily watching some video on her Mini pad.
Upon hearing him enter, she barely glanced up."Took you long enough," she drawled. "I was this close to withering away from starvation."
Klaus rolled his eyes and tossed one of the bags onto the bed.
