Chapter 55: Meeting Puck



Chapter 55: Meeting Puck

"Master, how do you feel seeing so many women fighting over you?" Hecate asked as she sipped her tea elegantly.

Rael put his index finger underneath his chin, finally, he shrugged while spouting with a smug look.

"Well women have always fought over me so this is nothing new."

The esper raised her eyebrows, "Then tell me how does it feel to know that your daughter has feelings for her own father."

Seeing that Rael was not reacting nor was he saying anything so she continued.

"And how does it feel to be attracted to your own daughter?"

Silence, she was met with utter silence, she peaked to see his face but to only notice it to be filled with complicated expressions.

He muttered in a low tone, audible enough for her to hear.

"It is really not fair."

Hearing him Hecate closed her eyes while smiling slightly.

"It's good that you are not a total scum and know the meaning of morals..."

She took another sip of her tea, she was like a mother to all the witches and an elder sister to all her fellow espers, she had advised a lot over the years.

"Love has no bounds, it is an expression of attraction and greed that is free. For there is an emptiness in the freedom of being alone and liberty in being caught in that divine spell."

Rael frowned a bit as he looked at her resting his head on the table.

"Your point?"

Hecate looked at him with a stoic expression and shook her head while sighing.

"In love, mother, father, brother, sister, enemy, daughter.... doesn't matter, even if it's forbidden... in love everything is open. There are no morals when it comes to love, even more, if it is mutual."

Rael smiled wryly, the pep talk was working a bit, he could at least see her point, Hecate continued talking without stop.

"Other might call it bewitched but I call it love, from what you said earlier, you had been missing for 2 million years. That girl has been waiting for you for 2 million years. Don't make her wait for more than you have already."

A chain broke in his heart as he started to chuckle a bit, that was it, he had decided to make his daughter his the next time they would meet.

A bitter smile came upon his face as he looked at his gothic maid.

"Kate."

Hecate frowned a bit, since when has she allowed him to create a pet name for her? This was an intimate approach.

She went back to her indifferent face and replied to him.

"Yes, master?"

He crept a bit closer to her, their faces were dangerously close, still, she kept up with her cold face.

If she was not his maid then he would have died a million times if not infinite.

Rael caressed her hair, the long strands till her chest was quite silky, grabbing them in his hand he smelled a bit.

They smelled of the flower shampoo she used to bathe, he felt quite relaxed due to it. He didn't know why but this girl was like his personal painkiller.

"Tell me... have you ever fallen in love?"

Hecate shook her head, although she had never fallen in love she had always found love to be very beautiful, she had read novels and seen some stories in real life.

Sometimes it is tragic and sometimes it was quite cute.

Sometimes the one who has no experience gives the best advice.

"Is that so? Then I hope you can find someone to love." Rael smiled at her as he got out of his stupor and walked towards the counter for a bottle of water.

Hecate looked in his direction for a few seconds. Touching her face, she noticed that it had become hot. A confused expression came upon her.

'Was I blushing all this time?'

She shook her head as she tilted her head and looked at the sky.

Lacy white-edged clouds rolled in over the blue sky, their centers as deep as any shoreline rock.

"I wouldn't mind falling for you I think..." She muttered in a low tone while continuing to stare at the clouds, occasionally sipping her tea.

Slowly some time passed, Rael had already sent Hecate away to pack everything up for him because he had got a notice from the enforcer department to vacate the room in the department.

Apparently, his sister had already arranged living quarters for him and he was supposed to go to Shi's relatives through a teleporting device tomorrow.

Currently, Rael was still inside the caf, he continued glancing at his watch from time to time, it was already evening.

He was still waiting for Puck to enter the caf, he was quite fed up, he had already noticed Puck spying over him for a few minutes but not showing up in front of him.

"Just come in already," Rael said annoyed as he sighed.

As soon as the words left his mouth, the door of the caf had opened with a bang.

In walked a boy, the person had black-brown hair that had been cut in an undercut hairstyle, his skin was peachy white in color, his eyes were like that of a predator.

They glowed with a golden color, and eyes of a Lion, he walked closer to Rael with every step of his, once again the entire caf was paying attention towards Rael and his table.

But the most surprising thing was that his best friend, Puck....had become a shota!!!

Rael almost fell over from his table, this was a massive surprise to him!!! How did he become a shota?!

Puck on the other hand had an annoyed expression, he had anticipated such a reaction from his master.

This was also the reason why he didn't want to show up im front of Rael and was making excuses to Vaani that the reason he didn't show himself up was because he wanted to surprise him.

Well.... being a shota was the biggest surprise that he could give to Rael.

"Are you done laughing?" He asked Rael who was basically crying tears while rolling out of laughter.

"Yes, yes." He wiped those tears and sat back on his seat.

Smiling wryly he started to pat the little shota's head, Puck slapped his hand away as he glared at the silver-haired man.

"I really didn't expect our first meeting in 2 million years to be like this," Rael said smiling wryly.

Puck settled down a bit and released a sigh of his own as he joked.

"This was unexpected to even me, why did you have to reincarnate so early?! Couldn't you just reincarnate after a few million years?"

Rael simply rolled his eyes, "Well your vacation is over now. It's not like I wanted to see you, little brat."

Another tick mark covered his forehead, he ultimately sighed.

"Anyway jokes aside, it is nice to see you after so long."

Rael looked at him with an 'Aww' expression, not able to believe that the kid who hated cringe was actually speaking corny.

He then looked at the kid who was ordering a cone of vanilla ice cream curiously.

"Does being a shota make the dragon also a shota?"

Puck almost spouted blood, "Shut up!"

Rael shrugged, "What...? I was curious it is a priority."

Puck ignored him and asked Rael.

"Are you ordering something?"

The waiter glanced at him, seeing the waiter, Rael nodded.

"Chocolate ice cream in a cone."

The waiter then took their orders and went on his way, seeing him leave, Rael turned to look at Puck.

"So I am guessing there is an explanation behind your shota form."

Puck sighed and answered honestly, "Yes, I had a spiritual deviation and due to my special divine constitution I ended up like this."

Rael giggled a bit and gave him an understanding look, Puck simply rolled his eyes.

"I can still transform into my adult form when I am in combat mode."

"I see..." Rael nodded as he turned to look at the waiter who brought their ice creams.

Even though 2 million years had passed for Puck, for Rael it was more than eternity due to the time he spent in the abyss.

In truth, he was the one who was the most affected at one point he had even almost forgotten the faces of people.

Even after so many years the two of them were behaving as if they had just met yesterday.

This is how a true friendship is, one doesn't need to cry and show his emotions or honey coat his words... the actions and the behavior speaks loud enough.

He then turned to glance at Puck who was chomping on his vanilla ice cream.

Rael chucked a bit as he saw the shota struggling to eat, it reminded him of the first time he met the child.

"You know right that chocolate flavor is better?"

Puck looked at him with an expression that repelled all logic.

Heresy!!!

"Chocolate sucks! Vanilla is the best!"

Rael shook his head, nobody can insult chocolate ice cream.

"You shall feel pain."
