The supreme sovereign system

[Wasteland Valley]

Dionisius was walking with big bags on his eyes.

"I can't believe it… I finally got a day off" Said lifelessly Dionisius.

"Not exactly, the golden sisters wants to review the reconstruction of the commoner… no… the residential zone" Said Io, who was walking behind him.

Alfonso's big reconstruction project was a huge success, in the past few months, Wasteland Valley practically transformed from a ruined village to a modern town, calling it a village was already not fair, nevertheless, people were used to so nobody cared.

"How is the last census?" Asked Dionisius.

"Great news, a lot of kids had learned how to write and every male in Wasteland Valley is working, even some women had started to work as well" Said Io.

"Uncle will be pleased went he comes" Said Dionisius.

"This was his plan, to begin with" Said Io.

"Ugh! Come con, give me some credit, I was the one who had to put everything in order!" Said Dionisius.

"My master, alongside Miss Hecate, were the ones who put everyone in order" Said coldly Io.

"You are such an ice queen, like your master" Said Dionisius.

"…" Io didn't say anything.

"Anyway, come on, let's go, I haven't checked my bar in a while" Said Dionisius.

Dionisius didn't have time to attend his bar, so, he left it to someone who had a lot of time on her hands.

Dionisius enter his bar and sat on a table.

"Aphrodite, serve me a cup" Said Dionisius.

"Oh? Who do we have here, it isn't the 'lord' of Wasteland Valley?" Said a sarcastic voice.

Dionisius looked up and saw a mummy in front of him.

 "Shut up" Said Dionisius.

Aphrodite laughed and served a big jar of wine.

"Since the 'lord' is paying, let me have some myself~" Said Aphrodite.

"…Whatever"

Aphrodite and Dionisius drank the full jar while Io looked from the back.

"Ah~ wine is truly the best" Said Dionisius.

"Tell me about it~ I haven't drink this well since I was in the Olympus~ I only wish the wine was better" Said Aphrodite.

"Hey, I did what I could with what I had" Said Dionisius.

Dionisius grabbed his cup and lifted it.

"The taste has improved a lot" Said Dionisius.

"It hasn't" Said Io.

"Huh?"

"It hasn't improved one bit" She said.

"However, after working so hard, the taste of wine taste like paradise… or so, my lord used to said" Said Io.

"I thought that Uncle didn't like wine" Said Dionisius.

"He didn't drink often, but, when he was very stressed, he drank a cup of wine" Said Io.

"Oh? So that's why Artemis bought a bottle from me, I thought that it was for her" Said Dionisius.

"My master doesn't like alcohol" Said Io.

"More like, she 'didn't' like alcohol" Said Aphrodite with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Asked Io.

"You will see it soon, it's almost time" Said Aphrodite.

Dionisius and Io were a little confused, however, just as they were pondering what Aphrodite mean, the door of the tavern was opened and a silhouette entered the bar. It was a clothed person

"The same as always" Said the clothed person with a harsh voice.

"Who are you trying to fool by coming all incognito~" Said Aphrodite with a cheeky smile.

"Shut up, bitch" Said the clothed person.

"Artemis?" Asked Dionisius.

"Ugh!?" The clothed person struggled a little and awkwardly turned towards Dionisius.

"What are you doing here? You don't have any paperwork to do!?"

"I already finished it…" Said Dionisius.

"Hmph… it seems to me that you have a lot of free time" Said Artemis.

"Hey, I haven't slept in three days!"

"WE don't need to sleep" Said Artemis.

"Come on… even your sleep now" Said Dionisius.

"I don't" Said Artemis.

"She indeed doesn't" Added Io/

Embarrassed, Dionisius scratched his head.

"Well, what can I said… Uncle show me the wonders of sleeping so…"

"Well, I had to admit that Alfonso's ideas are indeed addictive, for example, the bath…" Said Artemis.

"I know! Now that water can be used in all homes, people wash daily and they don't smell like horse shit!" Said Aphrodite quite loud, making everyone else on the tavern a little embarrassed.

"How did he did it again?" Asked Artemis.

"It was a project that he and the golden sister made a long time ago, however, because the town didn't have the means to do it, it was postponed" Said Dionisius.

"The idea was that everyone should have access to free water, about the principles that are used on the aqueduct system… I am not pretty sure myself, nor uncle was" Said Io.

"It wasn't Alfonso's idea?" Asked Aphrodite.

"It was, however, the mathematical and features were designed by the golden sisters plus some ideas that Hephaestus left behind" Said Io.

"My lord always said that he wasn't a jack of all trades, he didn't know all, however, he had good people with good brains around, so he wasn't worried" Said Io with pride.

"That's so… Alfonso, I guess" Said Artemis with a small smile.

"Wait" Said Aphrodite.

"What is it?" Asked Dionisius.

"Hephaestus… you mean that annoying guy is here!?" Asked Aphrodite.

Artemis and Dionisius looked at each other.

'Oh yeah, we didn't mention that, did we?'

"He went to train with the leader of the Amazon tribe before you and Dionisius came" Said Artemis.

"Are you kidding me? I don't want that guy to pest me about how I was his bride over and over again like he did back in the Olympus" Said Aphrodite with an annoyed voice.

"You were, or more precisely, are his wife" Said Artemis.

"I never agree to that! It was that good damn womanizer Zeus that force me to!" Said Aphrodite.

Looking at the furious Aphrodite, Dionisius took another jar of wine.

"Well, he hasn't been here for a long time, let's pray that he doesn't appear until uncle comes back" Though Dionisius while taking a sip of his wine.

However….

"HAHA, IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE I CAME BACK AND I ALREADY SMELL GOOD WINE!" A voice resounded in the tavern while a man appeared at the entrance.

"PFFFFF" Dionisius spat his wine while he looked at the direction of the wine.

"Oh!? Isn't that Artemis and Dionisius, its being too long!" Said the man.

"Sure, it was my fault, I triggered the flag" Though Dionisius.

"Hephaestus! Indeed, its being so long" Said Artemis.

 "Haha, I know right! I just came back and this town changed a lot, I was so surprised!" Said Hephaestus.

"Hmph!" Suddenly a snort called the attention of Hephaestus.

He looked to the direction of the voice and saw a mummy.

"Dionisius, Artemis, who is this mummy?" Asked Hephaestus.

"!!" The mummy almost exploded in fury while looking at the innocent yet stupid face of Hephaestus.

Dionisius looked at both, wife and husband, and made a big sigh while taking a long sip of his wine

"Uncle, please come back soon!" Prayed Dionisius.
