Chapter 37: Love At First Sight
On Earth, Queen Archandia and the Archadians were still searching for the two lost Djinns.
"What's the progress with the Djinns, Karen?" Queen Archandia asked.
"We are still searching for them, Your Highness. Hacker is tracking their location, and it takes time for him to distinguish the GPS codes of their location." Karen reported.
"Please tell Hacker to go back to the palace after your search. I need him to do something about the president's graft and corruption issues going on in Europe." Queen Archandia instructed Karen.
"Yes, Your Highness." Karen replied.
Aaron spotted the location of the Djinn, but they had a hard time finding him because he could transform himself to a person. They arrived at a crowded place full of people. A handsome young man noticed Karen and was attracted to her beauty.
"Hi there, miss? I'm lost here. I am supposed to go to my friends, but I couldn't find them. Can you help me find them?" The young man asked Karen, flashing a charming smile.
"Hmmm, I'm sorry, dear, but we don't have time to roam around this place. We are urgently seeking someone." Karen replied, trying to hide a blush.
They left the man, but he kept on following them. As they walked, he occasionally glanced at Karen, making her feel more and more self-conscious.
"Why are you following us? Do you really want us to help you? Or are you stalking my big sis here? Hehe." Aaron asked, smiling mischievously.
"Uhmmm... Both, I think." The man replied, looking sheepish.
"What's your name?" Karen asked, trying to sound stern but failing miserably.
"I'm D71963, you?" the man asked, his eyes locked on Karen's.
"Are you an android or something? I'm Karen. Where did you come from?" Karen continually asked, trying to distract herself from the flutter in her chest.
"It doesn't matter. Our planet was destroyed by an invader." the man answered, looking down, his voice tinged with sadness.
Karen tapped his shoulder, and he clearly blushed. Aaron chuckled at the sight.
"Hehe. I think he likes you, big sis." Aaron said, grinning.
Karen's face turned bright red as she looked away, trying to hide her embarrassment. D71963, on the other hand, couldn't take his eyes off her.
"I think I'm starting to like you too," Karen said softly, without looking at him.
Aaron's eyes widened in surprise, and he burst out laughing. "Haha, big sis is blushing!"
D71963 smiled, looking relieved and happy. "I'm glad to hear that."
He looked at his GPS tracker and the exact location of the Djinn was right where they were standing.
"Ohh, did this tracker malfunction? I don't see any Djinn here." Aaron said, confused.
"Did you see something cute, D... uhmm, what was your name again?" Karen asked, trying to change the subject.
"Nevermind about my name. Actually, I'm with a cute girl right now." the man replied, gazing at Karen.
"You silly, what I mean is something cute that looks like an animal." Karen clarified what she meant, laughing nervously.
"You mean a Djinn? Are you searching for me?" the man answered, a mischievous glint in his eye.
"Wait, are you one of the Djinns we're looking for?" Karen asked, her eyes widening in surprise.
The man transformed into his true form, and he became a green-colored Djinn. He merged with Karen's body, and she felt a surge of energy.
"Woah! Did you just choose me to be your master? Okay, you will be my Harry. Hehe." Harry mentally communicated to Karen, his voice filled with excitement.
"Yes, Master. When I saw you earlier, I already knew what love is. By the way, you have a great body, Master." Harry said, making Karen blush again.
"I don't believe you have a perverted Djinn now, big sis." Aaron said, chuckling.
"Ignore him, Harry. I like you too." Karen replied to Harry, smiling.
The Chrysoprase gem formed at the center of Karen's gauntlet, with four gem reflectors surrounding the Chrysoprase.
"I am a wood and plant Djinn Master. I will lend you my four super abilities. I will protect you, that's why I chose you to be my Master." Harry said, his voice filled with determination.
"Thanks a lot, Harry. We are going to go back now to Queen Archandia to report. Your friends await for you in the palace." Karen said, smiling.
"You are truly spectacular, Master." Harry replied, making Karen's heart skip a beat.
As they walked back to the palace, Aaron couldn't help but tease his sister. "Haha, big sis is blushing again! I think you have a crush on the Djinn!"
Karen rolled her eyes, trying to play it cool. "Shut up, Aaron. I'm just happy to have found the Djinn."
But Aaron wouldn't let up. "Oh, come on, big sis. You're always so serious. I'm just happy to see you happy."
Karen smiled, despite herself. "Thanks, Aaron. You're a good brother."
As they approached the palace, Karen couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement. She had never felt this way about anyone before, and she wasn't sure what to make of it.
When they arrived at the palace, Queen Archandia was waiting for them. "Ah, Karen! You've found the Djinn. Excellent work."
Karen bowed her head. "Thank you, Your Highness. I'm glad I could find him."
The Queen smiled. "I'm sure you'll make a great team. Now, let's get down to business. We have a lot of work to do."
Karen nodded, following the Queen into the throne room. Harry's voice echoed in her mind, "I'm looking forward to working with you, Master. And maybe... getting to know you better?"
Karen's face turned bright red again, and she couldn't help but smile. She had a feeling that this was going to be an interesting journey.
Aaron, who was walking behind her, whispered, "Haha, big sis is smiling like a fool. I think she's really into the Djinn."
Karen elbowed him, trying to play it cool. "Shut up, Aaron."
But deep down, she was happy to have found someone who made her feel this way. And she couldn't wait to see what the future held for her and Harry.
