Olympos Town’s Magnificent Everyday

Season 1, Chapter 5 – Theseus

Theseus:

Alright, to become as strong and tough as Athena-sama I’ll have to do my special training today too.

First some running, then pull-ups and… hm?

Are those Apollon and Hephaestus over there…?

They look kinda serious.

Theseus hiding behind a pillar.

Hephaestus:

I was with you, yet I didn’t notice, sorry.

Apollon:

It’s okay, don’t worry. And Hermes apologized too after all.

And even if it doesn’t talk, this doggy is still kinda cute!

Hephaestus:

Well, if you say so…

Apollon:

But wouldn’t it be amazing if it were able to talk!?

I’m sure Artemis and Theseus would be happy too…

Theseus, thinking:

…Apollon…

Apollon:

Aw man, I wish that it being defective was a lie and it could really talk.

Hey! Hey! Nanawanko! What do you recommend for dinner tonight?

Nanawanko:

…

Apollon:

As expected, no reaction. Ahaha…

Theseus, thinking:

Apollon… He really was shocked, just like Artemis said.

Alright… Cough! Ah… Ah…

Theseus:

Garlic-shoots and chicken gizzards stir-fry woof!

Apollon & Hephaestus:

!!!!

Apollon:

…it talked…?

Hey Hephaestus! Did you hear that!?

Hephaestus:

Yes, I did. Though the voice was a bit weird…

Apollon:

Ahaha! I knew it, it really likes garlic-shoots and chicken gizzards stir-fry, huh?

Hey! Hey! Nanawanko! Why do you like garlic-shoots and chicken gizzards stir-fry?

Theseus, thinking:

Wh-why?! Uhm…

Theseus:

B-Because it has zero carbohydrates woof!

Apollon:

Carbohydrates…?

Hephaestus:

As expected of the latest AI.

Theseus, thinking:

Th-they swallowed it…?

Apollon:

Hey! Hey! Nanawanko! What kinda effect do gizzards have?

Theseus, thinking:

E-effects…!? Uhm. Uhm.

Theseus:

It’s rich in protein so it’s perfect after a training session woof!

Apollon & Hephaestus:

…

Theseus, thinking:

I-I guess this one was a bit too much…

Hephaestus:

He’s a robot but know about training, how weird.

Apollon:

Fufu, you’re right! Protein… He sounds like Theseus!

Theseus, thinking:

!!!!

Apollon:

After a training session he’s always like “Protein! Protein! Athena-sama!”, all fired up!

Hephaestus:

He’s an interesting fellow.

But you’re right, even after a bath at my bathhouse he drinks some protein.

Apollon:

I think Theseus could be great friends with Nanawanko!

Let’s ask it more while we’re at it.

Theseus, thinking:

What, you’re gonna ask more…!? What is it this time?

Apollon:

Hey! Hey! Nanawanko! Is your name Theseus?

Theseus:

Eh!?

Apollon:

I knew it, it was Theseus!

Theseus:

…Apollon! You noticed?

Apollon:

Yes, the voice came from that pillar after all. And Nanawanko’s voice sounded just like yours!

Theseus:

…did you know too, Hephaestus?

Hephaestus:

Indeed, sorry for pretending.

Theseus:

Ahhh! How embarrassing! And sorry for tricking you!

Apollon:

It’s not embarrassing! Thank you, Theseus!

Theseus:

Eh…?

Apollon:

You became Nanawanko and talked for it for my sake, right?

It was lots of fun, I’m happy!

Theseus:

…Apollon…

Hephaestus:

I’ll have to admit, I had to hold in my laughter when you answered carbohydrates and protein.

Theseus:

I had no choice, did I?! I couldn’t think of anything else on the spot!

Apollon:

Ah! I thought of something nice!

How about we make believe to be Nanawanko and ask each other questions?

Theseus:

Huh?

Apollon:

It’s a game where you ask Nanawanko something and then I become the doggy and answer it!

Sounds fun, right?! Ask me anything.

Theseus:

Even if you say that…

…hm?

Hephaestus:

What?

Theseus:

There’s something sticking out of under this guy’s scarf. Look, here.

Hephaestus:

Looks like a removeable plastic slip.

Apollon:

You’re right! O:

Everyone:

… …ahaha!

Apollon:

No wonder it wouldn’t work even if you turned the switch on!

Hephaestus:

It was hidden under the scarf. That Hermes, good grief.

Apollon:

Well, he is a bit absent-minded like that, isn’t he?!

Theseus:

Hey, let’s try turning it on for real!

Apollon:

Yes! Let’s go!

Click.

Nanawanko:

Hey! Hey! This is Nanawanko! Nice to meet you woof!

Theseus & Apollon:

Ohh!! It taaalked!

Hephaestus:

I’m glad for you.

Apollon:

Yes!

Let’s go show it to Artemis! And Hermes too!

Theseus:

Yeah. Now it’s our turn to surprise Hermes!

Hephaestus:

That sounds intriguing. I shall accompany you.

Apollon:

Let’s all go together!
