David is waiting patiently for Hephaestus to come back from the party in her office, he heard it's a gathering only for god and goddess to mingle with each other.
Remembering their date this morning he remembers that he has to cut his hair off to look less feminine.
'I hope Correxion would not be too nosy to even meddle with my style'
With a sigh, he summons someone who can cut his hair off and maybe improve his fashion and style, but he only knows one such person in his past life, a scissors-wielding champion in League of Legends, Gwen.
"Can you do my hair, Gwen?"
"Why not? My scissors don't bite!"
"Sigh* it's weird talking to myself"
"Haha don't be like that, don't you know that even I still have my original ego and memory you dummy"
Right, I forgot about that, thankfully I have the perfect control over them, or else I wouldn't risk myself just for a petty power up.
"Anyway, it seems you don't have your scissor with you as the Myriad Manifestation Umbrella didn't have a scissor form."
"Yep but I can handle it easily, don't underestimate me just because I don't have my blessing!"
With familiarity, Gwen took a pair of scissors in Hephaestus's office as she had my clone's memory and vice versa, too bad my Invoker is still too weak to Invoke her along with her weapon.
"Here you go! Now sit properly and don't move a muscle, I understand that you want to be less feminine but our Correxion skill is only striving for a perfect haircut, but ill do my best!"
'Just as I guess Correxion could be naggy asf.'
A rhythmic sound of snipping reverberated in the room, David's long hair is skilfully being reshaped by Gwen and his skill Correxion in perfection.
Looking at the dancing Gwen while cutting his hair, he wonders how they perceive his summoning of them.
While LOL champions are just an avatar to their real self, what if he summons a real character in fiction, he knows he can control them, but he doesn't want to antagonize them for no reason.
"Don't worry about that as even if you summon us we are just an ego from our true self, it's like a voicemail that we leave in case someone needs us.
" A voicemail? So you can see and know that I Invoke your assistance after I dispel you?"
"Nope we don't as even I was surprised when I arrive here, thankfully your clone fills me up with all the necessary memories, or else I would be confused every time you summon me."
So that's why it's weird as whenever I summon Jinx and the rest they seem surprised every time, even Yasou mistakes an adventurer as his brother, Yone.
"And done! You can see it for yourself and don't forget to praise me!"
With another sigh, David looks at beaming Gwen while inwardly thanking Magen David for suppressing his unwanted emotion.
'Sigh* I'll talk with my summon more and as there's no possibility for them to rebel maybe I should also let them control my clones body from now on, except for Jinx.'
Thankfully I don't have any weird fetish like selfcest or else this could be disastrous.'
However, looking at his reflection to check his new hairstyle David can't help but pale in agitation.
"You make me look like a prey for both genders!"
He now appears like a boyish girl or girlish boy that depends on the beholder.
In the past, he looks very feminine with his long hair, but now he became a slice of meat that anyone would appreciate.
With trembling hands, he tried to catch Gwen, but she only dodge with a raised hand.
"Haha ok sorry for screwing up but this is the perfect haircut for you as even Correxion agrees, but if you don't want to be attractive to both males and females then maybe you should have told me to disable your skill earlier."
David stops when he hears her comment, it's already been natural for him to use Correxion constantly that he already forgot about it, but after disabling the skill he only enables it again as it causes him discomfort.
"Then disable it and fix this mess, I already hate how men leer on me, and now you want to add girls to the list, Tsk."
Sitting back down to change his hairstyle he waited for a moment before he hear her voice her opinion.
"Ummm, you know that it's already perfect right? Unless you stop using Correxion or level up, your hair will still retain that hair cut."
With a defeated face he can only accept his loss, he understands that it's already impossible without leveling up, but he is still hat to wait for his god to deliver his promise or else that shameless old man would only swindle him again.
"Ummm ill start designing your new clothes."
Carefully Gwen moves to the opposite side of the room far from her true self, she knows that he is only upset as he wants to look manlier for Hephaestus but at least there is still some improvement.

In the dead of the night, two people can be seen in a barely lighted room, one of them had a vacant look on his face while the other one is a young woman busily sewing clothes.
Slowly the door was unlocked by a red-dressed Hephaestus and a petite well-endowed goddess with black twin-tailed hair.
"Welcome back goddess Hephaestus."
With a bow, David immediately greeted them both with a respectful attitude, hiding the fact that they are in a relationship as besides his god no one else knows about their relationship.
However, Hephaestus was instantly enamored at her lover's new look, while she love her long silky hair she now prefers his new haircut to that one.
Unexpectedly she jump on his arm while hugging his neck, David was surprised at her action then look at the stunned black-haired goddess at the door and the silly smiling goddess in his embrace.
"Oh right, David this is Hestia a very close friend of mine, and Hestia this is David my lover, isn't he adorable?"
Still holding on to me Hephaestus glances at her friend while purring on my chest, I think she is slightly drunk with her red face.
Hephaestus smiled when she notice something and with amor, she whispers something into his ear in a teasing voice.
"Finally I got a reaction from you."
Hestia the petite goddess blushed when she saw the ridiculously attractive young man with a red face, she even thought that apollo paled at his charm.
"Cough* yes of course Hephaestus, please relax while I brew you and goddess Hestia a tea, I know that you have a business as well so please wait for me."
In a hurried step, David disappears through the door, while his clone which Hephaestus notice is trying to shrink like a ball.
"Haha isn't he cute? Sorry about that but I have never seen him that flustered before, so I take my chances."
"Tell me what happened!"
Hestia forgot about her purpose here because of her friend's juicy love story as she even gingerly tried to persuade her friend to tell her what happened.
With a soft smile Hephaestus removed her mask on her right face, revealing a healed eye to her friend, of all gods in the heaven only Hestia and few didn't exclude her because of her curse, that's is why she treated her as a true friend.
"Hephaestus your eye! It's fine!"
Hestia erratically hugged her friend in joy, she knows how much she feels unwanted because of it, and it seems that the reason for that is that young man before.
"Yes Hestia, it's all because of him, it is also the reason why I fall for him."
"Really?! But isn't it a curse of a god? How can a mortal cure it?"
"I don't know how Hestia, I was emotional at that time but I can feel my body changing and... and I'm ovulating since then."
"!!!"
With a shocked face, Hestia almost shout in disbelief if not for Hephaestus covering her mouth she would already be shrieking.
"I know but please don't tell it to anyone, I trust you as a friend but don't tell it even to him, I don't want to pressure David as he didn't want to cross the line yet before he is 18."
With a hushed voice, they're conversing in a small voice, afraid to be heard by the blue-haired woman on the corner, Hephaestus knows it is his clone so she is careful not to be heard by her.
"But it's impossible! A god can't ovulate and bear a child! You must be mistaken!"
"Yes I know but I think it is because of one of his skills, I can hazily remember him overloading one of his abilities with how deafening the sound of the bell at that time, even the mana in the air is so thick I can feel it in my skin, thankfully we are in my forging room back then or else the whole of the Orario would bear witness of our becoming"
"Wait, you told me you haven't crossed the line yet, how could you become one?"
"I also don't know however our soul and fate already became one as everything about him is bare to me, even the secrets he is hiding, I know I can trust you Hestia but I don't think no one else is ready to know about it yet."
Hestia looked at her friend's grim face, whatever it is she knows that it holds great importance for her to be this serious.
"Ok, but I would also want to bear my own child Hephaestus! Please!"
Hestia immediately jump to her knee and begged her again even after all the ruckus she had caused at the party.
"Don't start with me Hestia, don't forget that you are asking something from me first and now you want something more ridiculous?! And never mention that thing to me again if you don't love him as even I will not allow you."
Gwen in the corner is already sweating buckets at the goddesses conversing on her back, she didn't understand a thing but their hushed voices sound very intimidating.
'Omg, the petite goddess is already kneeling on the floor.'
"Hephaestus here's your tea...."
David entered the room noticing one goddess on the floor and another one looking at her grimly while his clone is crouching in the corner.
'I think I'm in the wrong place.'
He placed the tea on the table and tried to escape the battlefield, Gwen is pleading with her eyes to take her with him but he smirks in revenge after abandoning him with this haircut.
'Hehe, sucks to be you, Gwen'
But before he can close the door behind him he heard Hephaestus call his name.
'No God, Please Nooooo! Noooooo!'
Defeated he can only smile wryly at the red-haired goddess in the center of the room.
"Now that you are here David I remember that your weapon needs an upgrade?"
"Yes"
Meekly he answered her, Hephaestus's eye never left the petite goddess on the floor.
"I'll only agree Hestia if you let David here handle the creation of your child weapon and you will still have a debt on him, do you agree?"
"Yes!"
Hestia in determination agree immediately, she tried to pull a fast one to her but Hephaestus notice it before he can smile in victory.
"And no! I told you that I won't agree unless you are genuine about it!"
"Tsk!"
Two gods are arguing about something they have already agreed about while David and his clone are looking at their interaction together, he thought that he looks ridiculous talking with himself but he never knew that he is definitely wrong.

Sorry for the late upload.
I didnt have a covid but worse, I have an allergy!, my ear is ringing and my head hurts. But still ill try to release a new chap.
Anyway if you notice the contradictions in Hephaestus statement it is because she didnt want to share what she discovered from David and yes Correxion corrected the gods inability to bear a child.
I dont want to spoil but i know some would question it but the real reason of that much exaggerated Limit Off even with Correxion intervention is correcting her flaw, Correxion only limited the area of effect.
The curse on her eye mean while is transferred to the 2 Tears of the Goddess that David forged, thats why he didnt heal a 'gods curse' but just move it, and I wont be telling what did that curse do.
