Chapter 252 - Ripped Off By The Sytem
It was morning and Alfonso just woke up, he has been meditating the past days and he has only slept two or three hours per day, the fatigue accumulated and finally, yesterday, he couldn't take it anymore and sleep for almost twelve hours, as a sleep lover, Alfonso find this morning more than satisfying, he stood up and bathed in the sunlight.
"This is going to be a good day" Though Alfonso.
However, just as he was indulging himself, he heard the voice of something that annoyed him.
[Dear host, the time for your mission is almost here, and yet, you aren't progressed so much, at this rate, you won't be able to complete it]
"How do I do it, it's not your problem, I will be able to complete it, so don't worry about it" Though Alfonso.
[Dear host, the system only wishes to help you, however, you haven't used your privileges that you so hard earned]
"…" Alfonso didn't answer.
[Or perhaps, dear host, if there a reason why do you not use the system?]
"I know you know the reason" Though Alfonso.
[Dear host, is incomprehensible why are you still with that silly idea of your that the system is untrustworthy]
"Then, tell me something, so, I can trust you"
[Whatever the host wishes]
"Tell me, why did you send me here?"
[…]
"I know that it was you, there must be a reason, I was just an ordinary old man that die of old age lying in my bed, there wasn't anything especial about my life, my family was normal, I didn't achieve anything grand nor did I have a faithful encounter, what's more, I didn't ask for it, I didn't want a second life, so, there is no other reason for me being here besides you, went I first came to this world you were already with me, tell me, what are you hiding from me?"
[Dear host, the system is with you to make your live more easy in this world, as for why you were selected or who brought you here, the system doesn't know, however, what I do know is that, you weren't send here randomly, you were selected to come, because you have a mission]
"A mission? What mission?"
[The system doesn't know, however, it should all be reveled went you complete all the missions]
Alfonso heard the system and then he sighed.
"So, it all comes to doing the missions huh?"
[Yes]
"Okay them, what you have in you to help me?"
[~♥ ]
"Why are you so excited?"
[The system feels good went its used by its master ~♥]
"Okay?"
[The system has the shop option that is accumulation dust since host only used three times, come, come, check what we have in store]
Alfonso selected the shop option and saw the categories, as he remembered the shop has four categories, however, went he saw the list, he was surprised.
"So much… how? I don't remember them be so… abundant" Though Alfonso.
[This is all because of the host efforts, now , now , buy , buy]
"Mmm… actually, there is only one thing I want"
[what is it?]
Alfonso signaled the top of his head.
"I wonder went will little blue come back, is being a couple of months and there is no reaction" Said Alfonso.
[Is only natural, dear host, after all, your pet is currently evolving, not even talk a couple of months even a couple of centuries might be necessary]
"Wha- a, a couple of centuries?"
[That's right]
"Then… is there any way to accelerate the process, without hurting little blue of course"
[There is… however, is costly]
Suddenly, in front of Alfonso's eyes, a blue elixir appeared.
[This is called, the bless of Gaia, is an elixir that it will help your pet a lot, at most, it will take a year for it to hatch]
"Then, I want this"
[Are you sure, dear host?]
"Yes"
[Beginning the process]
After some seconds a bottle appeared on Alfonso's hand, inside, it had a blue liquid inside.
"How do I use this?"
[Just pour it on the egg and that's all]
"Sure"
Alfonso grabbed the bottle and did as the system said, when the liquid touched the egg, the egg had a reaction, immediately, all the liquid was absorbed on the egg. The egg shook for some seconds before stabilizing, after that, It returned to normal.
"That's all?"
[Yes, the egg is absorbing the natural energy of the elixir, went the time is to hatch you will notice, dear host]
"Ok, that's good, I miss the little guy… oh, by the way, how much points did it cost me? Maybe I can buy some more things"
[All your points~♥]
"… Say that again"
[All your points~♥]
"One more time please"
[All your points~♥]
"Do you mean that, all my har earned points, that I accumulated in almost a year, was all used for this small bottle?"
[That's right, Dear Host]
"WHY DON'T YOU ROB ME THEN!?"
[Dear host, don't angry, this is a fair price for the elixir, in the age of the gods, even if you had all the money in the world, you couldn't get a drop, the system is magnanimous with its dear host]
"*Sigh* forget it, it seems that only bad things comes every time I talk to you, I still have things to do"
[Thank you for your patronage~]
...........................................
After Alfonso finish getting rid of by the system, his pleasant morning turned sour, he dressed up and went to have breakfast. When he got to the dinner room, he noticed that he was already sitting there.
"What the- oh right, Aphrodite, didn't you tell me that your power will end up today?" Said Alfonso.
"I said today, I didn't specify the time" Said Aphrodite/Alfonso.
"Listen, is very important that nobody see us like this, I don't want more trouble!" Said Alfonso.
"Sure, but I am already eating, so, you will have to wait in your room" Said Aphrodite/Alfonso.
"This little-!" Alfonso wanted to refute; however, he knew that it was like he was trying to discuss with a child, a child that has a very powerful gun.
"I am going to my room, tell Artemis and Demeter to bring my breakfast there" Said Hopelessly Alfonso.
"Sure~"
"Listen! You know have my body, so, after you finish breakfast, go back to your room and don't come out until your transform back, understood?"
"Yep~"
"Okay, I am going back"
Alfonso turned around and went back to his room.
"Io"
"My lord" A voice came from behind Alfonso.
"Io, you saw the situation, I want you to keep an eye on Aphrodite"
"Why?"
"Because she is gonna do exactly the opposite of what I have told her?" Said Alfonso while pointed to the dinner room.
Went Io turned she noticed that Aphrodite/Alfonso wasn't there anymore.
"…" Io was speechless.
"Please follow her and don't let her create more trouble" Said Alfonso.
"You want me to bring her back?"
"No, just follow her" Said Alfonso.
"Why?"
"She spends all her day in the castle without actually going out to have fun, let her be naughty, just for today" Said Alfonso.
Io looked at Alfonso and smiled sweetly.
"As my lord orders"
After that Io disappeared.
"I just hope that she, at the very least, remember to tell Artemis and Demeter that I want my breakfast" Though Alfonso.
