My Bothersome Life 18 Luke's Scoldings

I quickly took a step back for every step that Luke took towards me. Unfortunately, I encountered a deadline few steps later as Luke was looking at me intensely to try to find 'something' I was hiding.

All of the sudden, Luke grabbed my shoulders to start shaking my body front and back. Alas, my book fell out of shirt, however my secret stash of junk food was taped to the inside of my shirt so it didn't fall out. "What's this?" Luke asked.

"The 'book' I bought at the bookstore today." I replied back while wincing.

Luke picked up the book, "Is this 'thing' the reason you're not eating dinner?"

I ran towards the tray of food on the table and grabbed a fork to start eating, "No, I'll eat the dinner that you brought me now."

I wasn't that hungry, but oh well. Luke looked kind of scary right now so I didn't have a choice.

I started to eat some egg salad while Luke went to sit on the couch to look at the 'book' more closely. Occasionally, Luke's eyes widened up when he found something interesting or fascinating and unfortunately this was 'one of those times'. He probably never picked up a 'book' like manga before because he grew up in a sheltered family in the first district.

After I finished stuffing some more food into my mouth, I asked, "Can I have my 'book' back now?"

"This is a very unique 'book' I'll be confiscating for now. Please finish the rest of the food to -"

"I'm not hungry anymore, I can't eat more than this! Plus, I want to go back home now. I'm pretty sure I learned my lesson now, so I think you can stop with the lecturing." I interrupted Luke to whine.

"I'm sorry that I ran off on my own and I promise from now on I'll stick with you if we ever go out." I said while sulking.

I was never ever going to go out with Luke in my holiday again! More like I was never going to even try to meet him in my precious break time!

Luke came to pat my head and sighed. "I'll let you go back home today because I think you have figured out what you have done wrong. However, I'm still going to take that book."

As long as I got to go home I was fine. I was curious to read the other half of that 'book', however I could probably go to the library tomorrow to read some more manga now that I knew they existed in this world. So I just nodded in return.

We eventually walked back to the teleportation gate and I soon found myself back in my bedroom with my bags placed in front of my bed.

I jumped into my fluffy bed with my tired body to fall asleep almost instantly. Ahh. Today was an eventful day wasn't it?

I was never bringing Luke anywhere with me if possible anymore~.
