Chapter 382: No Touch, Just Control
"Why did you create this?" Cupid asked.
Pablo glanced at her as if she asked the stupidest question.
"Why else would I create this? This has only one purpose known to mankind."
"Of course. I am just surprised to see this here."
"Shut up. It's incomplete for now."
Cupid opened her mouth to ask another question but Pablo raised his hand, stopping her.
He took out his Receiver again and dialed a number.
In just one ring, it was picked.
—Y-yes. Do you need something?
"Come to my room. Don't make any noise while you enter. If Sera saw you coming here, she would kill you. That's all. I am waiting."
BEEP!
Pablo cut the call.
He traced his fingers on the thing he had just created, feeling its lines and design. He was really satisfied with what he manifested.
"Why are you calling Hena here?" Cupid asked.
"You will see." Pablo gave his usual answer and Cupid shut her mouth. She sometimes feels like she is talking to a wall.
Nevertheless, she couldn't do anything about it and after two minutes, Pablo received a timid knock on his door.
"Come in." He said, not leaving the bed.
The door slowly creaked open and it was the same person whom Pablo had called.
The elf girl. Hena.
"Close the door and come here." Pablo said.
Hena nodded and closed the door.
She took tiny steps towards Pablo, her head down, her fingers twirling with each other.
"Calm down. Your heart would explode if it kept going like this."
Hena twitched.
She placed her hand on her chest and took deep breaths.
She has stopped walking and now stood just a little near the door and pretty far from Pablo.
"She is alone with you right now. And since she loves you, she is nervous."
'I don't give a shit.'
Cupid shrugged. She just felt like telling Pablo Hena's thoughts and she did. The next things depended on Pablo anyway.
"Come here. I want you to use your Ego for something. And stop being nervous for fucks sake. I didn't call you here for some perverted shit."
Hena raised her head. She finally looked at Pablo.
"You won't do anything?" She asked.
Pablo answered instantly. "Yes. I won't."
"... Fine."
Pablo frowned. 'Is she disappointed? She wanted me to do something? Why am I getting so many chances and Flashy not getting anything? What kind of inequality is this?'
"One man drowns while the other man starves. That's life."
'You are a hundred years too early to advise me about life.'
Cupid ranted after that but was ignored.
Hena walked forward and finally reached closer to Pablo. But not close enough.
Sighing deeply, Pablo gave up.
"Just stand in front of me. No need to sit beside me if you are feeling shy."
"Hmm."
Hena nodded and stood in front of Pablo.
Pablo looked at her from head to toe and his gaze stopped at her face.
She was wearing a one piece dress with floral patterns, her pale legs were a sight to behold for degenerate men and she smelled like a flower that a gardener hides in fear of it getting stolen. Her hairs hid her long ears but they weren't able to hide her beauty.
Sensing the weight of Pablo's gaze on her face, Hena's head went down again.
She felt herself blush as she twirled a layer of her hair with her fingers.
"Did you… did you.. called me here to look at me?" She asked despite the fear of Pablo yelling at her for asking something like this.
But her question made Pablo snap out of his thoughts.
The first thing he did was to jerk his head away from Hena's face.
He clenched his fists and took deep breaths.
"What happened?" Cupid asked, concerned.
Pablo shook his head and said what he had in his mind.
'She is a monster.'
Cupid furrowed her brows. "Monster? She is a monster? What are you talking about?"
Pablo exhaled a mouthful of breath.
'Those eyes, those lips, that shyness and blushing. All of that will destroy everything. I may be Pablo Castillo, but this is still the body of a young man. Having Sera is already a pain, if this elf came in line too, I fear I will end up killing one of the two girls.'
Cupid sighed. "She is not a monster, Pablo. You are a man and she is a girl. This is normal. Just let your heart choose someone and let it love them. Don't fight with it. You will only make it worse. She and even Sera, they are not monsters. They are just girls who are in love with you."
Pablo said nothing.
He glanced to his left side where Cupid floated and he just stared into her eyes.
Cupid didn't avert her gaze from Pablo as well.
After a second of gazing, Pablo scoffed.
'You are the safest girl in the world, Angel.'
Cupid found a smile on her face. "Aw. That's so sweet, Pablo. Why do you think I am the safest?"
'Because you have no striking features. I can look at your face without any risk for my hormones acting up. You are the safest.'
Cupid's mouth went agape.
"That's so mean. How can you—"
Pablo went back to ignoring her and focused back on Hena.
'I would have copied her Ego but that isn't needed right now and I would like to refrain from touching her too.'
Pablo had decided to copy Hena's ego and do the work himself but now he changed his mind. He would make Sera do what he wanted to do.
He picked the thing he created with Nike's ego and gave it to Hena.
Hena took it and Pablo made sure not to touch her hand while giving the thing.
"What do you want me to do with this?" Hena asked, looking at the thing. "And what is this anyway?"
"You don't need to know that. I just want you to use your Ego on this and make only one simple change to it."
"That is?"
Pablo smiled.
"Add infinity to it."
