Chapter 291: Interference (3)

Leilah POV

What's wrong with that guy? I let him have a harem and now he wants me to talk to his ex, he seriously needs to get lectured, I'll tell his parents to do it later since he is scared of them.

And besides, should Perseus respect the 'bro code'? So why did he decide to secretly date the sister of his own close friend, that's just mean, and if I remember correctly, his first time was during a sleepover when....argh, just remembering it makes me mad.

If only I had visited him more often, and if only that therapist didn't convince him to momentarily believe that I was nothing but a figment of his imagination. I asked for the full name and the looks of how he remembered her.

Meira Ramirez, 164cm tall, with black hair, and amber-colored colored eyes, she's 4 years older than Perseus, so she's...let's say Perseus is 18 now, so she's 48. I slept and went through every person I could find with that name and appearance.

It didn't take long in my pursuit to find the person though.

"Hmm, this feeling is ominous." Meira said while looking in my direction, "It can't be...are you the lady of bad luck, or maybe...death?"

"The latter would fit my description, yes, though I did not come-"

"Wait, no, lady death, before you speak your piece," she interrupted me, "Before you take me to the afterlife, please reconsider your decision, I have kids and a loving husband, all of whom will be hopeless without me, so let me live for 10...no, just 7 more years."

"As I've said-"

"I've also met one of your colleagues before, a weird lady who possessed my body many times just so she could speak with a guy who I liked at the time, she said she's given me her blessing, so if you are going to take my life, can you talk to her first? Or at least take me to her, so that I can slap her face for giving me a meaningless blessing."

Seriously, he fell for her? This woman is eccentric, to say the least, she is now ranting and giving me her top 10 reasons why I shouldn't take her life just yet.

And no, always eating your vegetables isn't a reason to keep you alive.

"Can you please shut up for one moment?"

"Hey, if you're gonna take my life, I'm not going down quietly." she replied while getting into a meaningless fighting stance.

"I'm not here for your life dammit, if I were, you'd be dead already."

"That's what they all say."

"Just contact Dawn, she's my mother, tell her to call me."

"Wait...you're her daughter?"

"Yes, she should have left a way for you to contact her, right? Just use it, tell her it isn't urgent, but earlier is better, goodbye."

"Wait, before you go." she rushed up to me and stopped me.

"What do you want? I really don't want to see your face."

"Do I have permission to smack your mother for giving birth to a daughter who scared me half to death?"

"What?"

"That aside...why do you look so different from your mother? Are you willing to have dinner at my house, we can both talk about your weird god family over some of my husband's delicious food."

Perseus POV

"Perseus?" Leilah asked groggily, "Why is Meira so..."

"Eccentric? Outgoing? Talkative?"

"Yes, she's like your opposite."

"Opposite attracts, I guess."

"Oh, you're still attracted to her, is that what I'm hearing?"

"That's not what I meant."

At least I know that Dawn should be contacting me within this week since she's mostly free, that's good. I might as well move back to the western continent and rest within the confines of my village for now.

This war isn't going anywhere, and I'll just think of a plan to infiltrate the secret lab in Zoris' capital since they apparently got a hero guarding it, so it's the most secured one of the 4 human continents.

"Why do you look so happy, do you prefer seeing our mother that much?" Lilith was the one that got on my case this time, "Are we not good enough for you?"

"I'm just happy that my plan's moving forward at a nice pace."

"What plan? To sleep with all the female members of my family?"

"No!"

"Me, Leilah, my mother, Maple, and Ruka, why us?"

"Coincidence because you're all beautiful and lovely women?"

"Leilah shut the doors, make a soundproof barrier too."

*****

"Oh, Perseus, you've worked hard, you lost weight, I see." healer Beek said.

I got home to see healer Beek check on my brother's health, it seemed that he's worked very hard, so I just gave him a huge bonus when I arrived back home, he wanted to give me a health inspection too, but I denied it.

"He's worked hard, alright." Ruka grumbled, "He looks like he hasn't experienced any sleep for the past 3 days."

2 days, but that was close enough, I really need to get stronger fast, and I need to ingest more fats and carbs in my diet, or else, I won't survive.

"Oh Perseus, you've lost weight." mom Rylee commented.

"Is it that visible?"

"Not much, but your cheeks look a bit sunken, you might want to rest for a bit, your health should be prioritized, you weren't gifted with great health since the moment you were born."

"I'm fine, thankfully."

I went to an early bed while the now very cheerful Leilah promised to keep tabs on the war while I rest.

*****

"Dawn, I seriously need a lot of advice on how to handle your daughters."

Thank the author, Dawn contacted me early.

"Where have you been the past few days? I've been trying to contact you ever since Meira called me." she replied, "Is that why you call me for?"

"No, but it can be discussed."

"Oh, alright then. but imagine my surprise when Meira called me saying a beautiful woman of death contacted her through her dreams, well, I'm here now, so I'm open to any questions that you may have."

"You're a saint, thanks."
