Dicuo, the mechanic from heaven

El decisively turned around and left, preparing to go to the tavern to meet Lunova, and then go to the dungeon.

It’s time to start a busy day of “killing monsters and leveling up”.

And the other side.

The people of Loki's clan also walked quickly into the underground city.

Tiona quickly ran to Ais, who had just completely disappeared, and asked with a wink.

"Ai Si-chan~ Didn't you want to meet this guy? Why didn't you go and say hello just now?"

"Um……"

Aisi nodded slightly, clearly confused as to what the Amazon girl beside her had misunderstood.

Just have my own ideas.

"Next time."

What Ai Si wanted was to ask the other party to let her fight against the "pure white flash" robot, but obviously, now was not the time.

In addition, I also heard from Livilia, Grace and others.

Waiting for the test to come back.

Ai'er will come to the clan to discuss the details of subsequent cooperation. We can just wait until then, right?

Carrying my own little thoughts.

The blonde girl turned around and looked at the boy's back as he walked away, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up slightly...

……

For Al, daily life seemed to be "fixed".

Go to the dungeon to kill monsters during the day.

I came back in the evening, went to the guild to take a shower, exchange money, and then went to the Hostess of Abundance Tavern to rest and supervise the studies of a certain elf girl. Then I went home and asked Demeter to update the panel, and then rested and slept.

This went on for two or three days.

After killing countless goblins and gnolls today, Al, as usual, went to the Hostess Tavern of Abundance before going home.

But this time it was not for dinner, but to check Miss Liu's "homework".

"5+7?"

"12!"

"8+9?"

"17!"

"3+5?"

"8!"

Very good, it seems that kindergarten-level arithmetic problems are not that difficult for Miss Liu.

and so.

"What about 17+35?"

"Forehead……"

The beautiful elf girl opened her mouth slightly, maintaining a dazed expression, and from time to time, she blinked her bright sky-blue eyes.

Liu Liang fell into a long period of thought.

finally……

"17 is seventeen ones, so 1, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39..."

Counting fingers again!

Al slammed the table, interrupting the girl's silly behavior! !

What is this for? !

Ready to start from 35 and count to 17?!

Obviously, although she could completely recite the addition and subtraction tables that he had written for her, the girl had no idea about addition and subtraction operations with numbers above two digits.

Al had no choice but to ask for paper and pen from Lunova and Anya, who were watching the show with a smile on their faces.

The pub was noisy.

It was dinner time, the pub's busiest time of the day.

But even so, Mia's mother allowed Liu to learn arithmetic from El for a while every day - after all, it didn't take long, only half an hour to an hour.

But this has also become the elf girl's daily "nightmare"!

Answering Al's questions loudly in front of so many people and even reciting the "rhyme" was so embarrassing!

And if you answer wrong, you will be slapped on the palm! !

The girl's pretty face, which was originally indifferent and cold, became flushed every moment during these two nights.

Just like little hands.

All of them are lovely with the rosy glow.

And the more this happens, the more attention it draws. It's amazing! !

There's even a trend of it becoming a "regular feature" of the pub, with some customers coming every night just to watch it...

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

This is too terrible! !

Chapter 25: A Gentle World

But I have to say that this kind of education is really effective.

In extreme shame.

The body almost instinctively wants to "end this quickly", so those countless numbers are like stars spinning in circles in the mind.

Liu has been reciting the formulas even in his dreams these past two days.

Although she answered incorrectly just now, the girl also realized her growth in these days!

at least!!

Now I don’t have to count on my fingers when doing addition and subtraction of single-digit numbers!! (Proud)

But then again.

Facing Al's stern gaze at this moment, Liu couldn't help but subconsciously and silently stretched out his little hand that had not been slapped red tonight.

But never expected.

However, Al did not take out the iron sheet as usual, but instead beckoned himself over.

"Okay."

The boy spoke gently and began to write the numbers "35" and "17" on the paper.

"The formulas for addition and subtraction of numbers above two are very simple. You can understand it this way."

"First, determine the units of the number, which are ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, and millions... Well, starting from the first number on the right, yes, in this equation, 5 and 7 are units."

"Then, add the ones digits first. What is the sum?"

Facing Al's problem.

Liu paused and answered subconsciously.

"12."

"That's right, Miss Liu is really smart."

"!!!"

I always feel like a child being coaxed!

But Liu was completely focused at the moment, because she realized that El was teaching her something completely new!!

"Okay, then write it down like this, and the equation becomes..."

"Then, the sum of the tens digits is 3 and 1. So what does that equal... 4, right?... Because the sum of the previous ones digits is 12, we need to add 1 to the tens digit... which equals..."

"52!!!"

The young elf excitedly gave the final answer.

"Yes, that's right. If you use the formulas skillfully, you can easily learn addition and subtraction above ten."

Al smiled.

He handed the pen in his hand to the elf girl.

"Next, Miss Liu, please try it yourself."

"it is good!"

艾尔很快的，又给对方布置了几个题目，诸如“12+49”“48+24”“79-33”等等……

Keep learning, learning never ends!

tonight.

It’s just simple “self-study” time.

El was quietly watching Liu doing her arithmetic problems, and he promptly corrected the elf girl's mistakes, explaining to her where she was wrong and how to correct them.

There is always a rustling sound between the straw papers, which makes people's minds drift away.

It was as if I had returned to a quiet summer night in the past, with the sound of reading aloud, the branches and leaves outside the window swaying, and the faint light of the stars and the moon shining through...

"Yeah, Ryuu learns pretty fast."

Mia's mother, who passed by, could not understand the calculation formula on the paper, but she could immediately understand whether the "question" and "result" were correct.

They haven't received any systematic training, but some things seem to be innate.

Well.

Normally, addition and subtraction can be performed directly in the mind, and there is no need to use formulas on paper to calculate them.

"Was Al a teacher before? You must have worked so hard..."

"No, not really."

If he's a mechanic, maybe he's considered a scholar or researcher?

"All dinners from now on are free. This is considered as tuition for that idiot Liu. What do you want to eat today?"

"Lord Demeter specifically told me to go back for dinner tonight. I apologize."

"I see... Let's eat some pasta first. We just came back from a hard day in the dungeon, and we can't go hungry."

talking.

Mia's mother brought a large plate of pasta.

Al looked at the noodles piled up in front of him, which seemed to be taller than himself when he sat down, and felt a little overwhelmed for a moment.

It also came with an extra-large drink - today's special apple juice. Because the apples sent by Demeter's family were too sweet, vinegar was added to neutralize it, and the taste was quite good.

"Eat quickly! You're still growing, how can you not eat more?!"

"..."

To be honest, what Mia’s mother said is really correct.

Actually speaking.

Albilue and the others were indeed younger, not even as old as Anya—a certain silly catgirl, who was actually 21 years old.

"Come to think of it, it would be nice if I could teach that idiot Anya a lesson."

"No, meow! Anya doesn't want to learn meow!!"

The cat girl who was directly grabbed by Mia's mother struggled desperately in mid-air.
