The supreme sovereign system

Chapter 118 - Little Pit's Progress

"Antiope although I said I accept, I Will not depart with you immediately, after all, I just came back from a long trip and I need to check somethings and make preparations, give me one week and then will be depart, is that okay with you?" Asked Alfonso.

"Yes, sister Miria has already departed with mister Hephaestus and he seemed very strong, by now, they should be in our village, so we can take a little bit of time before going" Said Antiope.

"Great, felt comfortable here, I will treat you as a guess so don't hesitate to ask me if you need anything, Ribeiro will be also here so felt at home, I still have some things to do so I will have to excuse myself" Said Alfonso.

"Please don't worry, I am only a guess, is already kind of you accept my selfish request, for that, I, Antiope, give you, my humbles thanks" Said Antiope.

Alfonso nodded and left the room with Artemis.

...

"Why did you accept?" Asked Artemis.

"It seemed that you wanted to help her" Said Alfonso.

"I… how?" Said Artemis.

"I told you right? I know you, more than you think, although it's not entirely because of that, I am not that good of a person either, I asked you, they live in the inner part of the Jubila forest right? The question here is, how did they survive?" Asked Alfonso.

"Hunting" Said Artemis.

"It can't be only that, the beast of the outer part of the Jubila forest are really dangerous, take Cerberus and the wolves as an example, they come from the border part of the Jubila forest and Wasteland Valley and yet, they are really fierce, maybe only you and Demeter can defeat them, I cant imagine how strong may be the beast in the inner part, that's why, I think they survive by other means, you know what I meant? "

"Crops?"

"that's right, I suspect that they have a special kind of crop that we don't know, if we can make use of it, then we won't need to worry about food again, the hardest part for us to cultivate is to find the rights crops, even if we have some, there aren't enough if we think in the long term, that's why, we need to go there and find out what crop are they using, we could even form another route of commerce, that will be the best" Said Alfonso.

"I understand" Said Artemis.

"However, the real reason is that you found that Antiope attractive, right?" A sweet voice came from behind Alfonso.

"Well, I can't deny that her legs were so-"

Before Alfonso could finish, he felt a cold wind behind him, curiously, it wasn't just a wind, but two of them, forming a terrified glacier. Alfonso couldn't and didn't want to look back.

"De-De-Demeter, where did you come from?" Asked Alfonso.

"Me? I have been here the whole time" Said Demeter.

You know the saying; the fish dies by the mouth? This is exactly how Alfonso feel right now.

"Ah! Big brother! You were there, great, come, come, I wanna show you my progress!" A voice come from the end of the hall, Alfonso saw Little Pit waving at him, however, for some reason, he saw little pit like an angel coming to his rescue.

"Safeeeeeee" Though Alfonso.

"Yeah, I am coming!" Said Alfonso.

"Ah! Big brother Artemis and the goddess is also with you!" Shouted Little pit while looking behind Alfonso.

"Y-yeah, they were on their way to do their things now, right?" Said Alfonso.

"Yeah, I will be back early today" Said Artemis, when she passed Alfonso's side, she took her time to look at him in the eyes, Alfonso knew exactly what she was saying

"This isn't over"

"You can call me Demeter, I don't like when people call me goddess" Said Demeter.

"Okay~" Said Little Pit.

When she passed Alfonso's side, she stood for some time, she leaned her head towards Alfonso's ear and said sweetly and slowly

"See you at night, sweetheart, you better be early, or I won't be responsible to what could happen, okay?" Said Demeter and walked happily towards the Agriculture zone.

Alfonso's back was already so wet that the shirt was almost glued to his skin.

"Big brother, are you okay?" Asked Little pit.

"… Ye-yeah, let's go, I want to see your progress as well" Said Alfonso.

He grabbed little pit and went on their way.

...

"So my conclusion was, how about we use two 'x' instead of one, but that will be confused, so I add one more letter, 'y', so I reached the conclusion more easily, however, I noticed that one equation wasn't enough to resolve this problem, so added one more equation with the same parameters and boom, the answer was there, awesome right!?" Asked Little pit.

"I can't believe he already reached this level in just three months" Though Alfonso while looking at the paper in front of him.

"Yes, is awesome little pit if you keep at this rate, you will surpass me and your father in no time" Said Alfonso.

"Maybe daddy's level, but not big brother you taught me everything you are a genius right!?" Asked Little pit with stars on his eyes.

"Where do I have seen those eyes before?" Though Alfonso while remembering a certain snake.

"Also, Also, look at this big brother, I tried to multiply two parameters and used this symbol, I don't know if this is going to be useful in any time, however! I still think is cool, so I used it anyway, but! I came with a small problem that needs big brother's help, you see here, look, if I use this equation I get two answers! And what's more, one of them is a number that doesn't exist! Is a minus two, I am becoming stupid big brother?" Asked Little pit with tears in his eyes.

"Stupid? If you are stupid, then I and the rest of the world are completely retards!" Though Alfonso with some tears as well on his eyes.

"No little pit deduction is correct, you see, this result is okay because you are using an advanced terminology here, let me explain you like this, all this time we have been using the natural numbers, in other words, numbers that we can find in nature, however, the negative numbers form part of a major group of numbers, however, they aren't natural numbers anymore, they are called integer numbers" Said Alfonso.

Like this, Alfonso guided Little pit all the afternoon until it was night, in midway, Taylor came in, as it was Saturday, he didn't had to teach classes today, so he became fascinating by Alfonso teachings and listen with careful attention, Alfonso liked to teach so he also enjoyed this time, however, he was also a little worry, after all, he was an historian not a mathematician, so he was running out of material, of course, he took some advanced classes in university but, nevertheless, his major were letters not numbers.

"But, It should be fine for now, at least we haven't enter university level yet" Though Alfonso

Without noticing, it was already past ten, however, Alfonso didn't know, that he was digging his own grave because someone was waiting for him on his room.

"You dare to be late huh? Hehe, this will be fun" A lovely voice could be heard from Alfonso's room.
