Chapter 214: Why is everyone so weird?

3rd person view

"Father, are we really doing this?" Charlotte asked

"We have no choice" Cyrus replied "We...are not strong enough. They will probably ask us to be subservient to them, but we'll try to negotiate a bit"

"Dad, Perseus might kill you!" Caster shouted "You remember what you and the nobles did to him!"

"If he asks for my life in return, then so be it, as long as it's for the safety of my people"

"How often do you 2 do it?" Stella asked

"I am not going to answer that question"

"This UNO game really is interesting, we should invite the other executives to play with us" Stella suggested

Stella decided to spend our time inside my house which was fine by me since I'm a little tired.

"You wanna die or something, sis? A fight between all of us is hard to stop you know. Even Zach can't stop it easily. How's your time with the 2?"

"Fun" she replied "They take a lot after you"

"You say that, but I barely know how to interact with them. Sometimes, it feels like they expect me to do something, but it really is hard to live up to their expectations. They look up to me, and I feel like my future self is so much better than I am now at that"

"It's true, they talk about a lot of things about you, they love you a lot" Stella chuckled "I kind of want children of my own now, but I would first need to find a mate first"

"Mate? You're not a beast, you know."

"Can you help me learn how to cook? Father seems to think that I'm hopeless in that."

"I can try"

*****

"Stella, sis. Yeah, give up. You are the cliché character that is somehow hopeless with cooking" I said as I witnessed all the dirty dishes "Why do you need so many just to scramble some eggs? I'm surprised that you make somehow make eggs purple and ominous"

"That is exactly what father said." she sighs "So maybe I should just live with you in the future, food get replaced every time I finish them, every time there's a mess, it get cleaned up and-"

"What the hell did you make my son and daughter do?"

"They can do that, and you can too. That's 2 bird with one stone."

"No, that's a horrible idea"

"Is that how you should treat your older sister?" she raised her eyebrow at me

"No, but your logic is terrible. Besides is that how an older sister should act? Treating their brother as some sort of butler?"

"Yes, that's exactly how we should treat you, I read that in a book" she then took out a book that is titled 'How to make your brother miserable' by...'Andrius Thames'

< Why does this world like to torture me?! >

| Gee I wonder why |

< So you're the culprit! >

| I created all of you, I do whatever I want |

"Have you even read the title?"

"Oh that would also extend to Parker" Stella continued to make more demands while ignoring me

<Why can't I just have more easy going siblings? Oliver and Emily are good, but uncle John and Olivia don't really trust them with me and they're technically my cousins>

"...Besides father has separated us siblings for too long, you should spend less time with your bonds and girlfriend and instead spend it with me" she concluded

"How many times do I have to say that you are misunderstanding?!"

"Don't be stubborn now, you're just embarrassed" she replied "And the more you deny it, it just convinces me more that you're hiding your true feelings"

"Shouldn't you be, I don't know, more hurt by my denial?"

"You and logical reasonings does not fit in the same sentence" she commented

"Now that's just low"

The gods who are watching Perseus are now greatly entertained by the sight.

"Oh man, they argue like real siblings" a god laughed

"Dabria chose a good mortal. He's extremely chaotic and very entertaining"

"Hah, you think? A celestial and traveling between worlds? Not a lot have managed to do it"

"Albert is entertaining, but he's kind of very generic, always trying to be the good guy, I like chaotic ones like this"

"I don't know, who do you guys ship him with?"

"I like forbidden relationships, Perseus X Emma all the way"

"Won't Perseus X Stella fit the description more?" another suggested

| Yep, these are the gods, they are as weird as everyone else |

"Shut up, Author" they all yelled in unison

| Why does everyone hate me? |

"Speaking of which, have you guys seen Dabria lately?" A goddess asked "I haven't seen her go for her usual morning coffee lately"

"Oh I heard that she's currently investigating Perseus' old world for something"

"Despite saying that she dislike her mortal, she's actually very caring about him"

"Ah to think that she would bear his children, that's so cute!"

"What are you girls talking about?" Helena asked as she just stumbled into the scene "Dabria's pregnant?!"

< That's a misunderstanding, we should correct her, but...it's definitely more fun tis way > All the gods thought

*****

-Helena, I know that I might be rude for this, but you're saying that Perseus got Dabria, his own goddess pregnant while already having a girlfriend?- Aenon asked

-I know!- Helena exclaimed -As you know, I'm not really allowed to observe him like the other gods since Albert is my responsibility, but how should we break it to his poor girlfriend? He's cheating on her!-

-And to think that a goddess would be the one, frankly I'm shocked- Aenon replied

-The gods refused to elaborate about it, but still what should we do?!-

Elektra has reported to Hypnos directly by going to his cave.

"I see, then that person who did it really is powerful" Hypnos said as he listened to Elektra's reports "Only a few gods can time travel, but even so, there are laws at place in order to prevent reckless use of it, no wonder he tried to invade my dreams often, he needed my help"

"So should we just let him continue interacting with them?" Elektra asked

"Yes, it should be fine" Hypnos then yawned "Make sure their side don't make a move, report to me when they do. Colden has to listen to orders, so I'll doubt their side will be reckless to get what they want, but we must remain cautious."

"Understood"

"I sent Morpheus out, so ask him for help if you need it"

"Well it seems like we found something that you're bad at. Art" Stella commented as she saw my painting

"I don't think it's that bad...well I'd give it a 3 out of 10"

"Parker can draw better than you" Stella said "Well at least you can present your food, right?"

"That's no fair, you used string magic and marionette magic and gave Parker help"

"All is fair in painting" she replied

"That's not how it goes, it's all fair in love and war"

"Same difference"

"No, it's not"

"That's called being a sore loser, little brother" she countered
