8. A Girl with the Scent of Seaweed (2)

Evan sat on the living room sofa, while Popo knelt beside him. The young man looked away from the potato chip girl. Meanwhile, Shane and Kara sat on the floor. With their hands on the table, the two of them glanced sharply at Evan.

"Wow, you're so mean, Evan. You make a girl cry." Kara scoffed fiercely.

"Why won't you eat me, Master?" Popo continues to wipe her tears. She had been crying for a long time. "If you don't eat me, what's my purpose then?"

Tony pulled Evan into the corner of the living room. The old man then whispered to his son, "Maybe this is an opportunity, Evan! She is your creation! Surely you will be safe having sex with her! You wanted to do something indecent to Mimi earlier, but she refused, right? Now someone wants to do it with you, so just do it! "

Evan took a deep breath. "First, a father shouldn't say that to his son. That sounds really creepy, you know. Second, that girl said it strangely! Eat me? Seriously!? I look like someone who has a weird fetish! Then, lastly, I was really just kidding with Mimi! I'm not really going to harass her!"

"Master, eat me, please."

Hearing that words so close behind him, Evan got goosebumps yet again. He immediately moved away from Popo, who suddenly was behind him. The young man sat on the sofa again and Popo knelt in front of him. That girl was still crying.

Increasingly frustrated, Evan asked with a huff, "Say it, Popo…. That's your name, right? Tell me, why do you want me to eat you?"

Popo looked at her master with very teary eyes. "Because I'm food, right?"

Evan and his two friends, as well as Tony, all gasped.

"She wants to be eaten literally?" Shane asked with a surprised expression.

Kara narrowed her eyes. "This girl actually doesn't want to have sex with you, Evan?

The corners of Evan's lips twitched violently. He looked at Popo with disbelief. "You're kidding, right? If your body is like that, how can I eat you?"

Pondered for a moment, Popo looked at her hands, then examined her own body. Slowly, her tears flowed profusely. "That is true …. My form is not a packet of potato chips anymore…. I can't be eaten with a body like this... However, my purpose was only to be eaten…. What should I do then?"

Popo cried until her body trembled. Evan couldn't do anything because he was inexperienced with things like this. However, Evan got a hand signal from Kara who glared at him, as if he was the one who hurt Popo and had to take responsibility.

This other absurdity made Evan scratch his head violently. He still had to do something. After all, it's not good to let a girl cry all the time.

"Maybe we can find another purpose of yours." After a few seconds of looking confused, Evan was finally able to put together a word.

"Another purpose?" Popo looked at his hands again.

Smiling slightly, Kara added, "I think, protecting your master is also a purpose."

Popo turned to Kara, who immediately widened his smile.

"Now you all believe in me, right?" Tony puffed out his chest. The old man with a thick mustache also grinned widely.

Shane nodded his head. "Earlier, you explained about the chosen people on your planet, Mr. Williams. I wonder what makes some of the people on your planet have this special ability? Because of mutation, bloodline, or something else?"

"I don't really understand myself, because it has to do with the genes and body structures of the inhabitants of our planet." Tony shrugged slightly. "All I know is, this phenomenon has happened a long time ago. Even the oldest historical manuscripts have recorded these powers. Ah, if you want to hear more about these powers and also the planet where I am from, I would be very happy to tell you."

"Really, Sir!?" Shane got up excitedly. "I would love to hear it too! The fact that other planets have civilizations makes me really excited!"

Evan's body sagged slightly on the sofa. "No, thank you. There is so much subject matter in my college, I don't want my brain to be filled with unnecessary things."

Shane's eyes glared at Evan in exaggeration. "What did you say!? How could you not be interested at all!? There is another life outside the planet earth, you know! "

"You shouldn't be majoring in economics like Kara and me, Shane," Evan chuckled. "If you like things like this, you should study elsewhere…. Ah, sorry. "

Immediately, Evan felt guilty towards his friend. That topic should no longer be discussed.

Closing his eyes, Shane sighed. "No problem, Mate. Maybe you forgot about it. "

The atmosphere turned awkward. Shane and Evan didn't want to look at each other. Kara looked at the two friends in turn, then got up and smiled at Tony.

"As for me, I want to know about Evan's childhood, Mr. Williams!" Kara spoke in a slightly louder and more energetic voice, obviously to get rid of the awkwardness.

Tony chuckled ignorantly. "I kept lots of naked pictures of Evan when he was a little kid!"

Evan was completely unfazed by his dad's teasing. His attention returned to Popo, who was still sitting on the floor. The potato chip girl looked down silently. Within a day, Evan had given life to two inanimate objects. The young man did not know whether this was a gift or not. His power is beyond reason.

"You really don't want to hear your dad's story, Mate?" Shane sat next to Evan and watched Popo too. "From his story, maybe you can understand a little about your power."

"Hearing stories like that only reminds me that I am no ordinary human, whereas my life goal is to have an ordinary life, an ordinary household, an ordinary job…. I want everything to be normal so that my life is calm and not complicated. I don't really know why I wanted something like that. Maybe because I'm comfortable with my simple life now." Evan answered in a lazy tone.

"So, in conclusion, you are not proud of your strength at all?"

"This power of mine clearly has the potential to make my life abnormal. I won't use it again. Besides, if I use this power over and over again, my house will become cramped by the beings I made."

Evan raised his right hand up high and watched it. Tony, Kara, and Popo just looked at the young man in silence. Only Shane had his eyes and mouth wide open.

"Are you insane!?" Shane snapped exaggeratedly. He grabbed Evan by the collar for the umpteenth time. "Your power is equal to god! You can do many things with your power!"

Evan couldn't fight back when his body was shaken by Shane again.

Popo got up from the floor quickly, this time he was the one who grabbed Shane by the collar. In front of that man, Popo shouted loudly, "Don't hurt my master!!!"
