Here's Your Pizza

'Pizza...' Eros remembered hearing this term somewhere.

'Ah, it was that thing that the Oracle said was weird. Vegetable and vibrant toppings.. stuck to the top, and it is usually warm...' Eros looked at the slipper in his hand. It was pink with a weirdly shaped carrot with two green leaves. It still felt a little warm.

With what he had just heard from Collen's claim, Eros was almost sure that the slipper he was holding was the 'pizza' Collen was talking about. However, he did not understand why Collen was holding cash.

'Oh! The Oracle said humans love taking and giving people cash. But I don't need it. Shouldn't I be giving her money instead? She got hurt earlier.' Eros fell silent. Actually, he hadn't spoken since the door opened.

Collen thought Eros was shy, so he shoved the cash and his business card into Eros's hand. "Take it. Oh, right, where's our pizza? You need to head to your next delivery address, right?"

Hearing him ask about pizza again, Eros lifted Primrose's slipper and handed it to him. "Your pizza."

Collen didn't even look at what was being placed in his hand. When he felt the weightless object in his palm, he looked down to find the oddly familiar slipper that resembled his sister's daily slipper sitting on his palm. The glue that helped keep the carrot in place was half gone already. Therefore, it dangled half off when Collen saw it.

The two brothers looked further down. When they saw Eros wearing only one slipper that was the same color and style as the one that Primrose was wearing, they grinned.

Primrose wanted to find a shovel and dig a deep hole to bury herself. She averted her gaze to the ceiling of some corner that she did not even know existed.

"Sir, why do you have our sister's slipper? And why is your slipper on her foot?" Jayden lifted his glasses once again. He slid his hand into his front pocket and straightened his back.

Eros stared back at the two grizzly bears in front of him. In his eyes, they acted like two bears protecting a cub from being eaten by a predator. "Shouldn't you be asking your sister why her foot is in my slipper and not the other way around?"

'Hah, you're not getting off the hook. I don't like fighting bears without their cub on my side.' Eros's twisted thought could only be read in his mind.

With his sentence, the attention was placed back on Primrose.

"I...I went to his condo. He is our new neighbor. He lives next door to us." Primrose's palm was already soaked in sweat. She shot arrows at Eros, but he didn't seem affected by the threat.

"Now the question is, how did you get to his condo? Why? And how did you get back in here?" Her eldest brother was as sharp as always. Seeing that guilty expression already confirmed his suspicions. If he links everything together, it would make a perfect puzzle.

"I..went through his door to get to his condo. I went because he has pets. I also came back through the door." She didn't dare give away which door she used.

"Oh right, speaking about the door..."Eros's speech slurred, hooking the interest of the two brothers instantly.

Primrose raised her finger and tapped her lips, hinting to him not to say anything about the balcony. However, Eros did not understand her gesture. He thought she was pointing at the balcony to remind him which door she came from. Even though she was pointing at the balcony and crossing her arms, he only nodded to her in response before exposing her heroic exercises.

"You could use my other door next time. You jumped to and from the balcony. It's dangerous. Don't sue me for money if you fall and break your bones. I still need to save money for my future wife." Eros remembered the last sentence from an old drama series he was forced to watch.

"You-!" Primrose felt her blood reverse. Anger rose to her cheeks, tainting it red.

"Primmy, what's this about the balcony? What door did you go through?" Collen was interrogating her this time with his arms crossed on his chest.

"Haha... The balcony door is still a door..." Primrose could see thunder rumbling above her brothers' heads. The last time she tried putting a baby bird back in its nest, she was lectured by her brothers and grounded for a month.

This time, she was jumping in the air like a circus performer. She could imagine herself being under house arrest for the next few months. They would probably build a wall or something around the rails.

Since Eros wanted to drag her to his puddle, she also decided to give him away. "Hmph! I was a good girl minding my own business. It was his fault! He was holding the poor kitten and wanted to throw the kitten away from such a high height! As a law-abiding citizen, I must do something, right?"

"Who says I can't enjoy the moon with my cat? Isn't my cat safe and sound? And are you sure the term law-abiding citizen really refers to you?" Eros was interested in her comeback.

"That's because I saved her! You almost ran the kitten over just hours ago! Luckily I saved her!" Primrose did not realize she had slipped her tongue. When she recalled what she had said, she wanted to choke herself for letting those words out.

"Primmy, how did you save the kitten?" As if a devil's tail could be seen swaying behind her two brothers, Primrose gulped at their darkened expressions. They were just missing two devil's horns to complete their looks.

"I..." She didn't know how to answer their questions. Should she say she rolled like superman without a cape to save the kitten? Or should she say she was cosplaying as spiderman and hopping everywhere she can? Either way, these answers would lead to the same end for her: doom.

"Oh. She almost got hit by my car. I saw some scrapes on her earlier, but she gave me the kitten instead. She refused to take my medical compensation." Eros explained clearly in case her brothers misunderstand.

Primrose gritted her teeth and asked Eros. "Are you trying to help me or kill me?"

"Neither. Save myself. " Eros replied.
