Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 545 - 545: Crushing?

"Father, why are you asking so many questions? You wanted to see him, and now you did. Come on, give him permission to stay here so we can go out and enjoy!" Hun chimed in.

"Sigh. Fine. I won't delay your time. I'll just tell you one thing," the man told Lucifer. "It's the first time my son has made a friend. I hope you aren't playing with his friendship just to be allowed a place to stay. Because if you made him sad, no one would be worse than me."

"You don't have to be concerned about it. When I call someone my friend, I don't expect anything in return. If that's how you feel, I can find another place to stay. And it won't affect my friendship with him," Lucifer replied, sighing.

"Father! Why are you talking like that!"

"Sigh. I apologize. I'm just a bit concerned as a father. I guess I was too suspicious. I allow him to stay here. You can show him a room," the middle-aged man said, sighing.

Even though he was suspicious about Lucifer"s intention, he could at least be sure that he wasn't here to hurt his son. If he were, he wouldn't come to their home.

Moreover, it wasn't as if they had a rare treasure that could be stolen. Moreover, these three people were High Beasts too. It was fine if his son wanted to make friends with them.

It was the first time he didn't find another High Beast repulsive. Even though High Beasts didn't like other High Beasts, his son was extra rare.

The other High Beasts didn't feel repulsive in others' presence, but his son had a rare condition where he couldn't bear the presence of other High Beasts. That's why it was rare for him. That was also why he was so fast to bond with Lucifer.

Moreover, even the middle-aged man couldn't help but agree that he got positive feelings from Lucifer. It wasn't all bad.

Lucifer stepped out of the library to find the two ladies still standing there.

"Are you now going to tell us what's happening?" Hun's mother asked him.

"I can. This is Lucifer. He is a High Beast from a faraway city, and he..."

Hun explained to his mother while Lucifer waited in the back, observing the ice flower again.

There was a child-like curiosity on his face about the flowers. It appeared to be completely made of ice, but it still looked so alive.

Yui noticed the face of Lucifer. His innocence was slightly attractive to her. Moreover, she was also the same. She had the same condition as her brother, where she couldn't bear the presence of other High Beasts.

However, she felt different in Lucifer's presence. Instead of feeling upset in his presence, she felt attracted.

That was the difference between her and her brother. Both had the same problem with High Beasts, but while Lucifer gave a friendly feeling to Hun, for Yui, it was different.

She was attracted by his deep eyes that seemed like they wanted to say a thousand things but weren't supported by his lips. She was attracted by his face that seemed to retain his youthful innocence despite facing many adversities.

She stepped towards Lucifer. "Do you like these flowers?"

"Yeah. These flowers are beautiful. Despite being so restricted, they look so free and alive..." Lucifer muttered.

"Why don't you try touching them?" Yui asked.

"Can I?" Lucifer asked.

"Only you'll be frozen in eternal ice, unable to break free," Yui answered.

Lucifer took a step back, frowning.

"Hahahaha!" Yui burst into laughter as she rolled her eyes. "You're so innocent. I was kidding. I thought you would know about them."

Even though she laughed at Lucifer's nativity, her impression of him only increased. He was so easy to talk to.

"These flowers are called Frozen Camdila. They can only survive in the temperature that we maintain here. They're told to be the flowers that bring luck to the house. That's why we have hundreds of them," she explained. "It won't matter if you touch them. They're just a bit cold, but that won't freeze you."

Lucifer didn't believe her this time. Instead of taking risks, it was better to avoid it.

"You don't believe me?" Yui asked, smiling. "Why would I try to hurt a friend of my brother? You're like his first friend. He'll kill me if I do something to you."

Lucifer nodded and raised his hand. Using his finger, he touched the flower. As soon as his finger touched the flower, he realized how cold the flower was. It wasn't as cold as he had thought. Moreover, it hadn't harmed him even a little. It did something else entirely.

As soon as his finger touched the flower, the ice petals of the flower started shining.

The ice flower looked even cuter as he touched the flower.

Lucifer observed the beautiful flower.

He looked at Yui. "Really beautiful."

"Huh?" Yui was taken aback as she heard Lucifer. How could he say something like that to her?

Since he spoke directly to her, she thought he was calling her beautiful. She felt slightly embarrassed, but she didn't let it show on her face.

"Really?" she asked.

"Yeah. The prettiest I ever saw," Lucifer answered, realizing that it was the prettiest flower he had ever seen.

"T-thank you," Yui muttered, still embarrassed.

"Lucifer, I see you already met my annoying sister,* Hun chimed in, placing his hand on Lucifer's shoulder. "Anyway, I finished telling my mother about you. I apologize for all the delay. Come, let me show you the room."

"Alright," Lucifer nodded. He looked at Yui and continued. "Thank you for all the information. See you later."

He left with Hun.

"See me later?' Yui's heart started beating slightly faster. She couldn't believe it. Did he really fall for her? But even if he did, she didn't believe it was so bad. She could also see a future...

"Ah, wait!" She called out.

Lucifer stopped and turned around. "Yeah?"

Yui plucked the ice flower from the vase and walked to Lucifer.

"I told you this was a flower for good luck? Since you're our guest, you should keep one. It'll bring you luck too," she said, raising her right hand towards Lucifer, which was holding the shining flower.

"Thank you so much," Lucifer said, taking the flower from her.

As Lucifer took the flower, Yui felt his fingers touch hers.

It was an odd feeling for her, feeling the touch of his cold yet warm fingers. It wasn't a particularly bad feeling for her.

"Hahaha, my stupid sister is really clever today. How could I forget about these flowers," Hun laughed. "Keep that with you. It should be lucky."

Lucifer nodded as he glanced at the flower.

He thanked the lady once again before he turned around and left with Hun.

The middle-aged lady stepped close to her daughter, flashing a cheeky smile. "Is my daughter crushing on a boy?"

"W-what nonsense?!" Yui yelled, trying to hide her embarrassment.

"Oh, come on. Those boys are stupid. They can't see it.. But do you think your mother won't see it?" The woman asked, laughing.
