Type-Moon Greece, I really don't want to be a hero!

Hecate, with a dark face, was too lazy to say anything.

With a wave of his hand, the dark butterfly of the underworld trapped Jason.

The next second, Jason was kicked out of the underworld by Hecate and returned to the temple of Hephaestus.

"Ah, it seems like I'm being disliked... Never mind, it's not the first day that the teacher has been saying one thing and thinking another. I have time to slowly waste time with her!

Come to think of it, have I forgotten something all this time?... It seems like the Grim Reaper asked me to deliver a message to the teacher.

Forget it, I’ll talk about it next time I think of it.”

Muttering to himself, Jason found a place to sit down and began to daydream.

Thinking back on the experiences of the past two days, Jason himself felt that it was a bit unreal.

"The God-killing Sword... This thing is really bad. Should I find a way out for myself? If they really find out, then I'm done... And it requires the blood of the goddess Athena, which means that the goddess Athena will definitely know... Oh, what a hassle."

Thinking about all this, Jason couldn't help but sigh.

However, Jason did not remain depressed for long. As he had just said, even if he knew all this now, it would be of no use.

What should be done must be done.

And now Jason is not completely without a way out... Although the three black chess pieces given by Tartarus, the god of the abyss, cannot be used to imprison Zeus and others, think about it the other way around.

To imprison Jason himself?

When the time comes, when he goes to the endless abyss, even Zeus will be unable to do anything to him, after all, Zeus's father is also in the abyss.

"Forget it, I won't think about it too much. There's no point in thinking too much. There are only two things I need to do right now.

First, prepare the things that Hades' brother-in-law will use for his wedding... These are not difficult to solve, if Teacher Hephaestus is still willing to help me.

So I need to do the second thing first... What kind of thing should I create to give to Teacher Hephaestus?"

Jason's brows couldn't help but furrow deeply.

And at this moment...

"Jason, what are you doing?...Since you're back, why didn't you inform me, the teacher?"

Following the whispers in his ear, Hephaestus, who was driving the wheelchair immediately, appeared in front of Jason after noticing Jason's return.

Jason raised his head and looked at Hephaestus who was slowly approaching him. Looking at Hephaestus, who was wearing a black mask on half of his face and the other half had the face of a goddess, Jason couldn't help but fall silent.

In fact, Jason was not completely without direction... He had long thought seriously about what he should build for Hephaestus.

only......

Jason hesitated, but he still smiled and greeted Hephaestus.

Then the two of them came to the temple hall. Jason told Hephaestus what he had done and where he had been in the past two days, while observing Hephaestus, struggling in his heart about whether he should do that.

After some time has passed...

"Child, do you have anything to say to me?"

Because Jason looked at him repeatedly, Hephaestus realized that something was wrong with Jason, so he asked Jason to sit in front of him and asked him in confusion.

"...Yes, Mr. Hephaestus, but I don't know if I should be so presumptuous as to say it."

"It's okay, go ahead, child." Hephaestus smiled softly and said, "You are my student. You can ask me anything, and I will accept it."

"Is that so...? Well, please forgive me, Mr. Hephaestus!"

Hearing this, Jason was somewhat moved. He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, looked at Hephaestus in front of him, and said, "Then Mr. Hephaestus, may I ask... can I see your true face?

Can you take off your mask so I can see it?"

Chapter 3.5 Jason, Am I Beautiful? (k)

Can you take off your mask so I can see it?

This request is more than presumptuous.

Hephaestus' expression froze.

Since she wore this half of the mask, it meant that Hephaestus did not want others to see the other half of his face.

Then when Hephaestus came to her senses and looked at Jason, she saw Jason with his head lowered, waiting to be scolded...

Seeing this, Hephaestus, whose mood had become complicated and brows were slightly furrowed, was stunned for a moment, and then his expression gradually softened.

Yes, Jason is not an unreasonable child.

"Can you tell me your reason?" Hephaestus calmed down and asked Jason.

Hearing this, Jason looked up at Hephaestus in surprise.

He originally thought that he would be greeted with an angry scolding from the teacher.

"Teacher Hephaestus, I hope to be able to offer you a tribute that you would like... For this reason, I have thought very hard about what I should offer you."

Jason hesitated for a moment, then said to Hephaestus seriously, "You are the greatest god of craftsmen. Your dexterous hands can create anything in the world.

I am just an ordinary person. There is absolutely no way that what I can create can compare to what you, Teacher, can do. This is what worries me the most!"

Hephaestus listened to Jason quietly, and a relieved smile appeared on her face, because she sensed Jason's sincerity from his words.

"You don't have to worry about it." Then Hephaestus said, "I like everything you make..."

"No, that won't work, Mr. Hephaestus!"

Unexpectedly, Jason interrupted Hephaestus, who was a little surprised, and said seriously, "Because what I offer you must not only please you, teacher, but also be recognized by others!

After all, I am your student, the student of Hephaestus, your great god of craftsmen!"

Jason originally planned to learn from Hephaestus, and then work hard to forge something and present it to Hephaestus.

That way, the mission is accomplished.

But now... Hestia, one of the main gods of Olympus and also one of the three virgin goddesses, made this comment when she first met Jason.

Jason has a pure heart and beautiful eyes.

This is the result of comparing ourselves with the world.

But it is obvious that Jason knew how to write the four words "be grateful and repay kindness".

If we say that Jason became Hephaestus's student at the beginning, it was just to curry favor with him and complete the task of paying tribute to the main god.

So this time when he came back, Hephaestus undoubtedly conquered Jason with his attitude.

Now Jason no longer regards becoming Hephaestus's student as a task, he has regarded Hephaestus as his real teacher.

Teachers like Chiron the Centaur Sage and Hecate the Goddess of Roads.

Therefore, the gift that Jason forged and gave to Hephaestus not only needed to be approved by Hephaestus, but also had to be approved by the other gods.

Because Jason cannot tarnish the name of Hephaestus' apprentice!

Hephaestus stared blankly at Jason who was speaking to her seriously. She naturally understood Jason's thoughts.

Therefore, a warm current slowly flowed through her heart.

She subconsciously opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but closed it again because she didn't know where to start.

Then, there was a moment of silent silence.

"...I understand." Hephaestus said softly, then reached out and touched the mask on his face with some trembling.

When Hephaestus touched the half black mask, he suddenly retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted.

Then she looked at Jason in front of her again.

The two looked into each other's eyes quietly for a moment.

Hephaestus looked into Jason's pure eyes, then finally reached out and gently took off half of the black mask.

At this point, Hephaestus' true appearance was revealed to Jason.

In the temple, under the illumination of the sacred fire, Jason also deeply engraved the true appearance of Hephaestus in his mind.

A red birthmark like a burn left by fire appeared on the face hidden by the black mask.

It wasn't anything horrific, but it did seriously damage the beauty of the goddess's face.

Jason looked at Hephaestus, whose true face was revealed.

But at this moment, facing Jason's gaze, Hephaestus subconsciously dodged and felt uncomfortable all over, which made her subconsciously want to reach out and put the mask on her face immediately.

But before she could move, she saw Jason walking towards her.

"Teacher...can I touch it?"

Jason came before Hephaestus, looked directly into his face, and asked him a question.

"No... No, of course not!"

Hephaestus was startled and his first reaction was naturally to refuse.

But after refusing, she was faced with Jason's pleading gaze.

"Just once, just once... Teacher Hephaestus, I promise, I'll just touch you once!"

After saying that, Jason boldly stretched out his hand, and as Hephaestus' eyes widened, Jason's hand touched Hephaestus' cheek.

He touched the face that had been sealed by a half-mask since who knows when and would never be revealed.

Therefore, when Jason's slightly cold little hand... because he had just come out of the underworld, touched that face and that red birthmark.

Hephaestus shuddered as if he had been electrocuted.

With his mouth wide open, he looked at Jason in front of him in shock.

My heart was beating wildly and my mind was completely confused. For a moment, I had no idea what to do!

But Jason didn't care about that now. He just touched the birthmark on Hephaestus' face with an extremely serious expression.

And reaching out, gently stroking the birthmark, memorizing its outline in detail in my mind...

Just as Jason's fingers moved across his cheek, an indescribable feeling emerged in Hephaestus.

The face of the goddess on Hephaestus' side became increasingly red, and soon even her ears were red...
