Chapter 1617
Early morning.
Natsuki, Ikaros, Astrea, Nagisa, and Kanon arrived at the cafeteria with Wu Yan behind them. He could feel a weird air the moment he stepped in.
The students turned silent when he showed up. They all stared at the gang.
There are curious people just as there are those who are green with envy and blue with disdain. There are also students who couldn't hide their hatred well.
Wu Yan stopped as he roamed his gaze over the people.
It's so silent one could hear a pin drop to the floor. The ladies also noticed this weird vibe.
"W-What's wrong?"
Nagisa, Kanon, and Astrea hid behind Wu Yan.
Natsuki also scanned the place.
She is the Demon Killer, the ender of magic catastrophes, she accurately assessed something the instant she looked at everyone.
"No, they're not looking at us."
Natsuki looked at Wu Yan, she was curious.
"They're looking at you and Ikaros."
"Ikaros and I?"
Wu Yan is puzzled.
"Why?"
Ikaros looked as passive as before but, she too, is perplexed by this situation.
It's like they're a circus and he's not taking it well.
"Anyway, let's just enter the joint."
Natsuki said with a peevish tone.
"I might transfer some of them to the nearest cesspool if they don't stop soon."
"nn!"
Nagisa, Kanon, and Astrea nodded awkwardly.
"Phew."
Wu Yan suppressed his confusion and maintained his composure.
"You're right, let's go."
Wu Yan found their seats as the students looked on. While he wanted to get to the bottom of this, he needed to finish what he started first, grabbing something to eat.
After sitting down, he could see that the students were looking at Ikaros with fascination, admiration, and obsession. Meanwhile, they directed disdain, hate, and jealousy his way.
"What's this?"
Wu Yan mumbled.
"Did I do something?"
Wu Yan resisted the urge to teleport them into a pile of crap. Then, he saw a familiar individual.
That student is a blonde with a very pretty appearance. She had a mini-drag munching on chicken meat.
The pretty blonde is also looking at him with a disgusted look. He almost turned into an ice statue from her frigid looks.
"Charlotte..."
Wu Yan walked over to her as he dispelled his anxiety.
"Yo, grabbing a bite?'
Charlotte said nothing. Then, she threw an insult his way.
"Perverted freak."
"Perverted freak?"
Natsuki, Nagisa, Kanon, Astrea, and Ikaros were taken aback by her sudden verbal jab.
"Ha?"
Wu Yan also couldn't believe what just happened.
"I never touched you though."
"Huh, what was that?"
Charlotte emitted killing intent.
"You want me to open a hole in you?"
"Hey, you started this."
Wu Yan replied in annoyance.
"Why did you call me a perverted freak?"
"Hmph."
Charlotte turned her head the other way.
Sigmund raised his oil claws to point at a newspaper on a nearby table.
"I think you should take a look at that."
Wu Yan & co took the papers.
Their eyes widened.
It's a student newspaper featuring juicy news like gossip and scandals.
It's a fresh paper, they published it this morning.
There are two photos on the paper.
One featured a beautiful angel with pink wings praying while looking at the moonlit sky.
The other features a student in a male uniform hugging and kissing her.
Someone snapped pictures of Ikaros and Wu Yan kissing.
"W-What the heck?!"
Wu Yan shrieked while Ikaros turned beet red.
"Onii-san, y-you two."
Kanon, Nagisa, and Astrea were slack-jawed.
"What were you two doing in the courtyard yesterday?"
"I see."
Natsuki calmly said. She isn't amused by this.
"I get it."
Ikaros is very beautiful, people would fall in love with her at first sight.
When she is embraced by another man, this would breed hatred and jealousy in most any person.
It also explained why they pegged him as a freak.
Ikaros is an automaton in their eyes.
Kissing one's automaton?
It's like kissing a doll in other people's eyes.
Wu Yan was labelled a doll-kisser from this.
Disdain and judging him?
Of course, Natsuki, Nagisa, and Kanon can understand why the students were looking at them. Wu Yan is speechless.
So, what?
It's normal to kiss his lover.
"People with too much time, the lot of them."
Wu Yan threw the paper away.
He asked Charlotte.
"Well, are you the same as those superficial people? Is kissing an automaton weird?"
Charlotte wanted to say yes but she couldn't.
After all, she treated her automaton like family.
