Chapter 243 - A Perfect Job For The Idiotic Trio
It's been a couple of days since Alfonso and company came back from his trip, after the events of that night, everyone when back to their usual lives… well, almost everyone.
"My lord… have you not be able to sleep well recently?" Asked Cat one.
"Well… more or less, how come you could tell?" Said Alfonso with a dull voice.
"Anyone could… after all… your bags have bags…"
Alfonso touched his face and then went to the mirror and saw a ghoul on the mirror.
"No… that's… that's my face, right?"
"Yep, your face is paler than ever you know, Uahhhhh~"
"Miss Demeter, good morning" Said Io with a bow.
"Demeter, you are up?"
"I just woke up, anyway Alfonso, you sleep two hours yesterday, are you gonna be okay?"
"When I was in Cambridge, I didn't sleep for days just to prepare for an exam, this is nothing"
"What is Cambridge?" Asked Demeter.
"Nothing… let's just say that I was used to not sleep, anyway, Demeter, go get change, we have an early meeting with Camel"
"Yep~"
"I will be waiting outside"
"You can stay if you want you know~"
"You say the same thing every morning, you know?"
"You get the opportunity to see a beautiful woman getting changed, you know how many men will give their whole fortune for this opportunity?"
"You said that too as well" Said Alfonso while closeing the door.
After Demeter finish changing, the three of them went to have breakfast and then went to Alfonso's study, where Camel was waiting.
"Camel" Said Alfonso.
"My lord, is good to see you are well" Said Camel with a bow.
"How is your grandson doing?"
"Oh, thanks to Miss Demeter and Mr Artemis, my daughter and grandson are living confortable " Said Camel.
"I am glad, well then, how is the progress with our production going?"
"We finally made some major progress, The potatoes and other vegetables have finally acclimated themselves, so, we were able to use another ten percent of the farmer zone, so, right now, we are using 4/10 parts of the farmer zone" Said Camel.
"That's indeed good news" Said Alfonso in satisfaction.
"However, there is a small issue that I would have to ask my lord"
"What is it?"
"It seems that some of the vegetables have disappear recently"
"A thief?" Said Alfonso.
"I don't know, after all, the wolves always guard the farmer zone, however, they haven't detected anyone" Said Camel.
"Really? Now that's strange" Said Alfonso.
"I also asked the soldiers to check out for any abnormalities, however, there hasn't been any results" Said Camel.
"How many vegetables were stolen?" Asked Alfonso.
"Less than five kilos, it wasn't much, however, the problem is that it repeats itself every week, it's even scaring some people, so, nobody wants to stay at night in the farmer zone"
"Demeter you are in charge of that zone, how come you didn't tell me?" Said Alfonso.
"I didn't know, Camel didn't report it to me" Said Demeter with some anger.
"I- I thought that it wasn't so serious, so, I tried to resolve it myself…"
"Well, don't, the next time, don't forget to inform Demeter, got it?" Said Alfonso.
"My- my apologies, my lord"
"It's okay, well, this is quite the problem, what could pass the detection of the soldiers and the wolves "Said Io.
"It seems that we need to guard the famer zone today" Said Alfonso.
"Wait, we don't have to do that" Said Demeter.
"Why?" Asked Alfonso.
"Hehe, because we have three idiots living the good life, how about we use them?" Said Demeter.
"Oh! I have completely forgotten about the idiot trio" Said Alfonso while looking at Cat one.
"W-what is it?"
"Go talk with the idiot trio and tell them to catch the thief, it will be a good way of meeting them in such a long time" Said Alfonso.
"Got it"
.....................….
"Hey, you three, you always come to my bar and drink my wine, and you put the tab on the little girl that is always behind Alfonso, don't you feel a little bit ashamed?" Said Dionisius.
Currently, the only bar in Wasteland Valley is, the 'Olympus's bar', opened just before Alfonso departed. As soon as Dionisius came back, he went to his bar to enjoy the company of his wine, however, as soon as he got there, a group of three people were waiting for him at the door.
"Who are you? what are you doing at my home?" Asked Dionisius.
"Ah! Hello, are you the owner of this bar!?" Asked a woman with blonde hair.
"Ye-yes" Said Dionisius.
""Mister!"" Shouted the two men by their side,
"Mister, we have craved for alcohol since we came to this freezing hell, you are our salvation!"
"That's right, sir!"
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING MISTER!? I AM A PERFECTLY YOUNG BOY!" Snapped Dionisius.
""W-we are sorry!""
Anyway, this was the fated(?) encounter of the stupid trio and Dionisius, since that day, the trio had been coming to Dionisius's bar and drank until their hearts were filled, of course, rumors spread and a lot of people started to come to Dionisius's bar, in one day, the empty bar become one of the most visited place in Wasteland Valley, of course, for the already lazy god, this mean nothing but trouble, on the other hand, he had some sense of fulfillment when he saw the delighted look on his customers.
"You three, a couple of days ago, I went to charge Io for all the bottles you empty" Said Dionisius.
""Ugh!"" The idiotic trio was surprised.
"I won't say anything since she did paid me, however, she looked a little bit pissed" Said Dionisius.
"Master, another round here please!" Said a big man at the back.
"Coming"
Dionisius left the bar and grabbed a bottle of wine to.
"Cat two, do you think that boss will get mad at us?"
"I-I don't know, sh- she shouldn't be so pissed right? We are her partners after al!!"
"Hmph!" The blond woman took a long drip.
"Cat two, Cat three, don't call her boss anymore, since she was selected as the personal guard of Lord Alfonso, she hasn't even paid us a visit, I think that she has already forget about us!" Said Cat four.
"However, big sis, I still think that we shouldn't have put the tab on her, I mean, she is quite scary when she is mad"
"Don't worry, I don't think that the important guard of the lord has the time to come here and deal with us"
"Oh? You really think so?"
Suddenly, a voice came from behind the trio, they felt a small chill running from their backs, neither of them could turn back.
"That- that voice…"
"I couldn't be…"
Cat four took swallowed and her voice become a little trembling.
"B-b-boss, it's been a while~" Said Cat four.
"…" Cat one didn't say anything.
"Ye-yeah boss, what a coincidence to meet you here"
"…" Once again, she didn't say anything.
"Boss, how about a drink, it's on us"
"You mean that I am the one who will pay it right?" Answered Cat one.
The trio didn't say anything.
"I asked Deferio the other day, it seems that you have been slacking in your training at the army"
"…"
"You are quite something, while I am not looking around, you were doing whatever you wanted right" Said Cat one with a smile.
The trio turned around and saw that smile, for some reason, that smile brought back some old memories.
"That's the same smile that miss Demeter had went she was pissed" Though the trio.
"Fortunately for you, there is a job that requires your skills, so you will have to come with me to repair your debts" Said Io.
"Wh-what if we refuse…?" Said Cat four.
"Well, I guess you could do that" Said Io with the same smile.
The trio acceded to the request without a second though.
