The supreme sovereign system

Although Hecate didn't quite understand what was going on, she mostly understood Alfonso's character.

"I must say, my daughter has good taste, sigh~" Said Hecate while sighing.

"Thank you~" Said Alfonso.

"However, it seems that you are going to be too busy soon, so let's talk about the wedding and that heavy stuff another time" Said Hecate.

"I agree" 

Alfonso turned towards Demeter.

"There is a place we need to go"

....................................…

[It's possible] 

"…" Alfonso looked stressed.

"So, what is going to be the price this time?"

[You are out of Drachmas, my dear host] 

"Tell me something I don't know" 

[The system is able to teleport you and your group to Greycastle empire]

"And your price is?"

[You know, other users just use their system at full and are never short on coins, it's the dream of every system to serve their host, but you? You just use me if there is no other choice, I , your system, am very sad] 

"Don't try to act innocent, just tell me your price" Said Alfonso.

[Sigh~ Dear host, you are just like Artemis, but I am still waiting to see your 'dere' side] 

"…" 

[Okay, okay, don't make that face, I, your system, am magnanimous and it's going to help you]

Alfonso waited for some seconds.

Ding!

[Special mission!]

[Kill the traitor : 

Description: The ex-head of the clover house has sold his own people, find him and kill him before the end of the autumn, rescue the soul of goddess Demeter before it's too late!

Reward: Free drive to Greycastle empire

Hint: Find the fallen hero]

Alfonso read the new mission of the system.

"Good" Said Alfonso.

His eyes turned green while his gaze turned dangerous.

"If I don't kill him for doing that to Demeter, I wouldn't be able to look at Demeter in the face"

Io, who was looking by one side seemed a little confused.

Alfonso noticed this and leave the system panel.

"Are you worried about something, Io?" Asked Alfonso.

She hesitated for some seconds, but, she wanted an answer as well.

"My lord… Is just that… you never mention the word kill so easily before… but now…" 

Alfonso looked at Io.

He sighed and patted Io.

"You are right, since I went to the heroic city, I think I have become more… empathic" Said Alfonso.

"…" 

"Io"

Alfonso hugged Io.

"I am slowly but surely losing my humanity"

"Among everyone here, you are the only one who is… human enough and powerful enough to understand what I am saying"

"If… if there is a day that I stop being a human… you know what you need to do, right?"

"I… I would never-!"

"Io, your master… and Demeter as well, won't do it…" Said Alfonso with a grieve voice.

"But… but I…"

"Tell this to Anastasia as well, I will tell you everything about my powers and how to counter my abilities" 

"My lord…"

"Please…"

Alfonso had been thinking about this for a long time, he wanted to bring this out so he intentionally talked loud so Io could notice. 

Io looked at the rose on Alfonso's hand and, after some seconds, she sighed.

"You are cruel" She said.

"…" Alfonso smiled bitterly, he couldn't deny it.

Io separated from Alfonso and walked towards the door.

"In this life, you are my one and only master, the day you die, I shall as well…"  Said Io with a trembling voice.

"So please… don't say things like that so easily" 

Io left the room without turning back.

Alfonso sighed and sat on his bed.

"You are an idiot" 

Alfonso heard a voice coming from behind him. 

He looked at the body of Demeter, although she was still there, in silence, as if she knew what he said, Alfonso heard her voice as clearly as the water.

"You are always right" Said Alfonso.

He smiled and looked at the two moons hanging in the sky.

After five minutes, he turned to the right

"I told you I would stop drinking" Said Alfonso.

"I didn't tell you to stop drinking, I told you to stop drinking for sadness" 

Artemis appeared from her usual corner.

Alfonso was so used to this that there were times when he talked to the corner only to find out later that Artemis wasn't there. 

He didn't bother to use his powers so he couldn't help it.

"Did you heard?"

"Of course I did"

"What do you think?"

"That you are an idiot"

"Wow, you and Demeter are so in synch"

"How could you tell that little girl to kill you?" Said Artemis with a bit of anger.

"It can't be helped; she is the only one" 

Alfonso turned towards Artemis.

"You and Demeter won't do it and the other gods won't find anything strange, because they think that humans as nothing… even now, you and Demeter don't think much about humans, right?" Asked Alfonso.

"It's in our nature, we have become more human… however… "

"We won't turn into humans, no matter what" Said Artemis.

The same could be said to Demeter, Aphrodite, Dionysius, Hecate, and Hephaestus. They interact with humans and have long passed their previous superiority complex… 

But, no matter what, they were still gods, for better or worse.

"And me? I am still human"

"You are different"

"How?"

Artemis's cheeks became a little red.

"Don't make me said it… idiot"

Alfonso smiled and laughed a bit.

"Anyway, everyone is ready?" Asked Alfonso.

"Ah" 

When Artemis said that, the door opened and three figures appeared.

"Finally~ I am able to see the outside!" Said a mummy with a lovely voice.

"My hands are itching" Said a small little boy.

"…" Noah didn't say anything and just looked at Alfonso.

"Thanks for coming, everyone" Said Alfonso.

"Don't, she is our sister after all" Said Aphrodite.

"I am coming as well!" 

Alfonso turned to the window and saw a person floating.

"Hecate? You can fly?" Asked Alfonso.

"Of course, I can~" Said Hecate.

Alfonso grabbed his cane and everyone concentrated on the room.

"Ah, before we go!" Said Hecate.

She kneeled and grabbed Alfonso's hand.

"I swear loyalty to my lord" She said seriously.

"Wh- what are you… " Said Alfonso.

"It seems that everyone here did it, so I might as well~" She said.

"MOM!" Said Artemis.

"What? I am free spirit" Said Hecate.

She turned towards Alfonso and smiled.

"You are a good man, I hope that you keep making my little one happy" Said Hecate.

Alfonso, who was stunned, suddenly laughed.

"OF COURSE!" He said.

The group reunited in the middle of the room.

"System, we are ready" Thought Alfonso.

A white light engulfed the group and, in a second, they disappeared.
