Giosue calmly walked down the stairs, his head held high, and his chest puffed up. He wore a look of determination in his eyes.
"Why, hello, Giosue! Are you hungry? The food was already cold, I hope you don't mind." Miss Lovette said as she saw him while setting down plates.
"I'm pretty hungry, Miss Lovette." Giosue said.
She smiled and ruffled his curly hair. "Then come and sit down."
Giosue was about to sit on his usual chair, but Miss Lovette placed her well-manicured nails on his shoulder.
"Over here, sweetheart." She patted her lap. "Just like we always do when we're alone together, remember?"
"O-Oh, right." Giosue gulped. "I'm sorry I forgot, Miss Lovette."
She waved her hand. "It's nothing. Come, I'll feed you too to make it up to you."
Giosue hesitantly sat on her lap, sharing one chair with Miss Lovette. He can feel her large bosom behind him…..
And he can't help but turn around to peek at it.
"Hmm? Is there something on my chest, Giosue?" She asked.
The 18-year-old boy being talked to like a kid shook his head. "No, Miss Lovette."
"Well then. Let's go eat." She took the spoon, and dipped it into the casserole. "Say ahh~"
Giosue opened his mouth, looking deep in thought. Miss Lovette smiled at this expression she had never seen in him before.
"You look like you want to ask me something, Giosue. What is it?"
Giosue chewed his food and swallowed. "I just wondered about that crystal I always see you keep inside your chest, Miss Lovette."
"Oh? What about it?" Miss Lovette asked.
"I just wondered what kind of crystal it was." The boy said.
"Really…. Now why would you be interested in my crystal of all things…." She caressed Giosue's face.
Giosue stammered. "I-I was just curious, Miss Lovette. Please forgive me, Miss Lovette."
"It's alright, sweetheart. It's not something to apologize for." She smiled wide. "How was our new Big Brother doing?"
"Oh. He's asleep now, Miss Lovette. He said he was tired." Giosue said.
"I see. Joseph went to sleep early."
"Yes, he did."
Miss Lovette chuckled. "Maybe he's saving up energy because I told him we'd have a long discussion in bed later."
Giosue clenched his fist. "I see, Miss Lovette. You'll be sleeping with him."
"Are you jealous, sweetheart?" Miss Lovette tapped his nose. "Do you want to watch again just like you always do? Make sure he doesn't escape?"
Giosue was even more angered, but he calmed himself down. "No, Miss Lovette. I want to sleep too after dinner."
"Hahaha! Ah, I love your new behavior tonight, it's so unlike you to be this calm and not nervous around me…." She smirked.
Giosue gulped. But he showed nothing on his face.
She shrugged. "You must be warming up to me after all these years. Let's just keep feeding you then."
They did just that, and no one said a word. Miss Lovette just continued spoon feeding Giosue like a baby. It was obvious that the boy hated it, being treated like a child.
But he had to endure it, until his partner gives the signal—
BOOM!
There was an explosion, followed by sparks of electricity.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
Dozens of cries came, and the smell of smoke and soot quickly drifted into the air. Miss Lovette turned. Her bedroom upstairs was quickly going up in flames!
"No! How could he!? What did he do to the children!?" She exclaimed and rushed out.
Giosue took his chance. He grabbed the knife from the table, and got ready to stab it into the demoness' back—
But the demoness turned right on time, gripping his wrist.
"Ah, how lovely! Truly lovely!" She exclaimed. "You two think that you would fool me, hmm? But that's what I wanted you boys to think."
Her sedating scent quickly came, making Giosue drop the knife and go weak and drowsy.
"Argh! No….."
Miss Lovette smiled. "Didn't I warn you that I love playing games like this? Hmm. My lovely JOSEPH. Hahahaha!"
'Giosue' tried to struggle, but couldn't fight back due to her powers.
Miss Lovette just kept on laughing. "Why wouldn't I think that you would shapeshift as Giosue? Since the start, you two have been acting strange. I love it, you boys didn't think I would catch on!"
The curly-haired boy was made to kneel in front of her. He was completely shocked and terrified that their plan failed…..
"I'm sorry…. I failed you… Gio…."
Miss Lovette grabbed the boy's chin with a sadistic smirk. "Aww, and the poor boy Giosue relied on you. He even knocked the water tank to the air conditioner to set himself and the others on fire—"
"Jones…. Sir Harker Jones…. I failed to kill her…. You taught me to ask for the Shard and act like you, but I failed to kill her…."
Her eyes widened. But it was too late.
Before she could even realize it, the knife that Giosue dropped impaled the back of her leg!
"Ahh!" She exclaimed and fell to the floor.
The one that grabbed that knife was strands of hair. Harker stood 7 feet off the floor, his hair connected to the stair railing, and the other strands wrapped around 21 teenage boys.
"You were right. You did warn me, and I thank you for that." Harker smiled. "But even without it, I never underestimate someone who has already beaten me the first time. Don't get it twisted."
She turned and gritted her teeth. But then she cackled once more.
"Hahahaha! You! You're a fool! You should have used the knife to stab my chest, not my leg! Hahahaha!" She laughed with her head held back. "This tiny wound does nothing! I can still control your abilities—"
The knife quickly went back to Harker's side, and he licked her blood from it, right in front of her.
"Tsk. I just said don't get it twisted, old hag. You move too fast for me to stab your chest. And I don't want to stab something important in the process."
The holographic screen showed a new set of stats:
[Lady Bai Aixiang's Succubus Ability
Raw Power: A
Endurance: B
Range: A
Speed: B
Precision: A
Potential: A ]
Then, another one appeared beside it.
[Duplication Notice! Two DNA samples share the same ability. This may change the stats, even the ability's Potential. Would you like to combine them?
> Yes >No ]
"Great!" Harker exclaimed as he pressed the button. "I've always wondered what happens when I have absorbed two abilities of the same type. Seems like I was right in guessing they could be more powerful like having Two-of-a-Kind in poker!"
He pressed 'Yes' and the eyeball Yan finally appeared.
"Congratulations on gaining your new enhanced ability, Master Harker!"
[Enhanced Succubus Ability
Raw Power: A+
Endurance: A
Range: A+
Speed: A
Precision: A+
Potential: A+]
Ms. Lovette's eyes widened. "That thing beside you…. It can't be… No—"
"Guess I overpowered you now, old hag." Harker grinned. "LOVELY!"
He used Miss Lovette's own powers so she would knock her head again and again on the floor. Miss Lovette screamed in pain as she tried to stop herself, but her body moved out of her own will.
"No— BAM! No– BAM! Stop—BAM! Please—BAM!" She kept interrupting herself as she swung her head again and again.
The fire and smoke were growing, but Harker was not alarmed. He knows he was fast enough to get all the boys out in time. But he also knows…..
That they wanted to watch this. To watch the one who hurt them suffer the same way they did, having someone control her.
The effects of her scent were gone, so Giosue was now able to stand up. He just stood there and watched with a serious expression as Miss Lovette slowly and painfully killed herself.
"PLEASE! OMNISCIENT ONE, HAVE MERCY—"
She wasn't able to speak as the tiled floor had been broken from her constant headbanging, and the shattered piece got lodged inside her already injured and bleeding skull.
Finally, the Demoness of Brookville was no more.
