Olympos Town’s Magnificent Everyday

Season 1, Chapter 2 – Apollon

Ding dong dang dong.

Apollon:

Hey hey, do you have time? There’s something I wanna show you two!

Artemis:

Show us…?

Theseus:

I bet it’s something weird again.

The thing you showed us during the temple festival the other way was an unpleasant experience too.

Artemis:

It was elastic like gum but felt nice to touch like jelly. What even was that in the end…

Apollon:

The man from the stall said it was very popular with human kids.

Theseus:

You sure? It was really slimy and stuck to your clothes, it was awful to take it off!

Apollon:

Ahaha, you’re riiight! You wondered how much it could stretch, but then it teared to pieces and filled the entire classroom with jelly!

Artemis:

It took so much to clean everything by ourselves. Speaking of being roped into something.

Theseus:

Yeah. And that day I was stuck with watching over Athena-sama while being all slimy.

Artemis:

Fufu, yeah, I bet Athena got the chills too.

Theseus:

Don’t laugh! What if they thought I was someone suspicious!?

Apollon:

Sorry sorry! But today it really, really, really is something cool!

Artemis & Theseus:

…

Theseus:

…well, it’s true that being with you, Apollon, is never boring. For better or worse.

Artemis:

Mood. So, what do you have today?

Apollon:

Tadaaa! “Faithful Dog Nanawanko”!

Believe it or not, it’s a talking robot with the latest AI!

Artemis:

Talking… So you can hold a conversation with it?

Theseus:

If that’s true, then that’s extremely amazing…

Apollon:

Well, just look.

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

Nanawanko:

…

Apollon:

Huh? Maybe it didn’t hear me?

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

Nanawanko:

…

Apollon:

Hmm… What’s wrong? Okay one more time…

Theseus:

Hey, wait a sec. What’s up with that weird call and question?

Artemis:

Yes. I’d like to know that too.

Also, I doubt a robot can eat garlic-shoots and chicken gizzards stir-fry…

Theseus:

That’s what bothered you…?

Apollon:

This doggy recommended it as Hephaestus’ dinner yesterday.

Theseus:

What do you mean Hephaestus’ dinner?

Apollon:

That’s what it said happily at Hermes’ shop when Hephaestus asked what he should have for dinner…

Maybe it’s broken…?

Artemis:

So, you mean to tell us, that’s a product from Hermes’ shop?

Apollon:

Yes. He gave it to me because it was a sample!

Theseus:

In other words, you’ve been given junk.

Apollon:

Ehhh!? No way! It worked properly yesterday!

And also, all the products from his shop are so bizarre, incredible and cool!

Artemis:

You say that but you always get weird stuff from him.

And because of that, your room is filled to the brim with junk like that; you can’t even see the floor anymore.

Theseus:

You’re one to talk, I feel like your room’s full with stuff you can’t even tell Apollon…

Apollon:

Maybe you’re right! Ahaha!

Theseus:

That’s not where you’re supposed to laugh…

Artemis:

If Apollon is having fun then I don’t mind. I just don’t want him to be deceived by evil gods.

Theseus:

He’s right. You should doubt others more, Apollon.

Apollon:

You think so…? But there aren’t any evil gods in Olympos Town, so no problem!

Artemis & Theseus:

Hah…

Theseus:

Oh, and also, even without a robot dog, don’t animals just gather around you anyways?

Apollon:

Well, yes, but the latest AI is so cool! And Artemis always tries to hunt the animals with the bow as soon as he sees them.

Artemis:

I just get the urge to hunt moving living creatures.

Theseus:

…don’t hunt me.

Artemis:

Fufu, who knows? You’re fast, maybe I shoot you by accident.

Theseus:

…!

Apollon:

Ahaha! Don’t worry, Theseus. He’s just joking.

Theseus:

No, his expression was serious.

Artemis:

You sure? I was just like I always am.

Ding dong dang dong.

Apollon:

Ah, it’s time already.

Theseus:

I’ll be late to go home with Athena-sama…! Sorry, I’ll go ahead!

Apollon:

Did you promise to go home together?

Theseus:

There is no way I could do something so discourteous!

I shall observe their every move from a distance! I have to burn the president’s everything into my memory!

Bye!

Artemis:

He’s the same as always but he sure dashed away.

Apollon:

Theseus really loves Athena, doesn’t he?

Artemis:

But observing from a distance… Isn’t that excessive? And doing it every day?

Apollon:

Theseus is such a funny god too, isn’t he!? Maybe I’ll chase after him next time!
