Demonic Pornstar System novel Chapter 379

Chapter 379: Abrupt Apology

The atmosphere in Nyx’s room was unusually soft. She and Alexandra sat cross-legged on the bed with mugs of hot chocolate between them.

For once, there was no tension, no need to posture.

"... And do you remember when we snuck out past curfew just to catch fireflies?" Nyx asked with her lips quirking upward, full of nostalgia. Alexandra’s eyes widened, then softened as if the memory had tugged her out of a dark pit. "Y-yeah... you tripped on that stupid root and dragged me down with you."

"You called me a ’chick who drank too much milk,’ namely, you called me a fatty," Nyx grinned.

Alexandra, of all people, giggled. Actually giggled.

"I... I did, didn’t I? Gods, I can still feel the dirt in my teeth."

The sound of her laughter was strange but precious. Every giggle, every shy smile chipped away at the extreme amounts of reservations she carried, letting her shoulders drop just a little lower.

"I don’t hear an apology, though," Nyx grinned.

"Apology? For what? I stand by what I said..." Alexandra replied slyly just before sipping another mouthful of chocolate while looking directly into Nyx’s eyes with a playful gaze.

Nyx narrowed her eyes. A smirk was tugging at the corner of her lips. "Is that so? Then let me help you not become a fatty like me."

She lifted her hand, pointed a finger toward Alexandra’s cup, and with a subtle curl of her finger backward, the liquid Alexandra had just sipped rushed right back out of her mouth, zipping through the air and neatly plopping back into her mug.

Alexandra froze, staring at her cup, then at Nyx. Her jaw dropped. "T-That’s awakened violence against a civilian! It’s illegal!"

Nyx sported a wicked smile. "Violence? Please. I just saved you from getting too fat for your own good. If I didn’t, the gremlin would start calling you a fat cow as well. That practically makes me your savior."

"You!" Alexandra puffed her cheeks, pouting so cutely it completely betrayed her sharp glare. "Don’t you dare do that again."

Nyx leaned back, lazily raising her finger again with a smug grin to repeat the trick.

But Alexandra’s glare sharpened like a blade, turning absolutely lethal. Her body leaned forward, and for a moment, the air between them grew taut.

Nyx blinked, then chuckled before bursting into full laughter, lowering her hand. "Alright, alright. Girl, it seems you really need your chocolate."

"I do," Alexandra huffed, though her lips were twitching as if she was holding back a smile.

That was when the door creaked open.

Both women looked up.
