The Incubus System Chapter 619. Same Person, Different Appearance
I thanked the chauffeur with a nod and made my way back home. Once I entered the entrance, my sight could catch Celia struggling to carry her luggage up the stairs. Without a second thought, I flicked my index finger and used my telekinesis skill to lift all of her belongings off the floor and float them up.
"That's not fair," Celia complained as we climbed the steps. "You should have used your powers from the start."
I shrugged nonchalantly, a small smile playing on my lips. "I can't use them in front of other people, remember?"
Celia pouted, crossing her arms over her chest. "Well, it's still not fair. You get all the cool powers while I only got barrier skills."
"Wait, you got Shadow Barrier?" I asked in shock, unable to hide the surprise in my voice. "I hadn't heard any announcements about that."
"I got it about a month ago, while you were still in the Dark Dimension," Celia replied, a hint of pride in her voice. "It wasn't Shadow Barrier, but Mana Barrier. It's similar to a demon hunter's skill. I'm not sure why I got it, sure but I think it's because I wanted to protect people. A high-speed truck almost crashed into a kid and his dad. Everyone was screaming, including me. Suddenly, my body felt hot and a barrier appeared out of nowhere to protect them. It happened right in front of us and I knew the barrier was coming from me because I received a notification about it," she explained.
'I see…' As I listened to Celia's story, I couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity. It sounded like her powers had been triggered by her emotions and feelings, just like how my first quest had been triggered by my own inner turmoil. But as she continued to speak, a sense of panic began to well up inside of me.
"Wait, you used your powers in front of everyone?" I asked, my tone laced with worry. The Demon Hunter Association had been hot on my heels for months. If they found out about Celia and her abilities, they might use her to get to me.
"Remember when I told you about that shopping spree with Camila and Olivia? It happened when we were coming home from the mall," Celia replied, seemingly unaware of my fear. "I was in the car with them, so no one else noticed what happened."
"What about the chauffeur?" I asked, still wary.
"He was focused on the road and didn't realize anything was going on," Celia assured me.
I let out a sigh of relief, grateful that the Association should haven't discovered Celia's powers. But just as I began to relax, Celia let out a scream of panic.
"Ah! Something is moving over there! Is that a mouse?!" she yelled, pointing toward the side of her bed.
I calmly turned to it to take a closer look and saw that it was Red who was trying to hide under the bed. It seemed he had gotten curious and decided to take a peek at what was going on.
I had been so focused on our conversation that I had completely forgotten about them. "Oops, I almost forgot about them," I said, feeling a sense of regret wash over me. I returned my gaze to her. "Remember what I told you about my pets?" I asked Celia, waving my hand down. "He is one of them."
As I spoke, Celia's luggage slowly descended back to the floor. "You may show yourselves now," I commanded, directing my words toward the invisible figures lurking in the room.
In response to my words, a young woman with long, flowing blonde hair materialized in front of us. Followed by my pets. Buni, Red, Shadow, and Rave.
"Celia!" Foxy exclaimed as she rushed towards Celia and hugged her tightly. Foxy's eyes were closed in relief and happiness, a bright smile on her lips.
Celia, on the other hand, looked shocked. Her jaw dropped in surprise as she stared at Foxy in confusion. "Who are you?" she asked, not moving to return the embrace. Her stiffness was visible.
I couldn't blame Celia for her confusion. Foxy had undergone a significant transformation since the last time they had met. She had gained additional tails, and her body and face had matured significantly. She was now a woman with full curves and a mature appearance. It was no wonder that Celia didn't recognize her at first.
Foxy released her hug and smiled at Celia, her eyes sparkling with warmth. "It's me, Foxy," she said, her voice full of fondness.
"F-Foxy?" Celia repeated, still in disbelief. She stared at Foxy's mature face for a few moments before she shifted down. Her chest was much fuller and bigger than before. From her height and her curves, Foxy looked like a mature woman.
"Yes, it's me! I'm five tails now," she announced in happiness.
Celia shifted her gaze to her tails for a few seconds before finally allowing a smile to spread across her own face. "Oh my goodness, I can't believe it's you! You've grown up so much!"
As the two women hugged again, I couldn't help but feel a sense of happiness wash over me. It was always heartwarming to see my family reunited.
"It's been a long time," Foxy said, still hugging Celia tightly.
"Three months isn't a long time for this transformation," Celia chuckled and pulled back from the embrace, a fond look in her eyes. "I can't believe how much you have changed since we last saw each other."
"Well, both of you have a lot of catching up to do," I said with a smile, breaking into their conversation. " But I need to introduce them first," I added, gesturing to my pets who were sitting neatly and lining up in front of her.
Celia tilted her head and frowned.
"Are they Kir's friends?" she guessed.
