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

Jason was puzzled, as he naturally didn't think he had such great ability.

But...this is indeed a bit of a coincidence!

Jason secretly kept it in mind and began to think about how to deal with it.

In this matter, continuing to ask Chiron obviously will not get any results, because he obviously does not know the reason either.

And it just so happens that Jason has to face a goddess this time!

And that goddess must know the reason for Zeus's anger!

......

......

At this moment, Mount Olympus.

In a flower field that blooms all year round.

The beautiful silver-haired goddess Athena is strolling among them.

The woman next to her is Hera, the Queen of Heaven.

Queen Hera's expression was not very good, she was still angry.

The object of his anger was naturally Jason!

And Athena is now trying to alleviate Hera's anger for Jason.

The reason is simple. Athena is very interested in Jason...especially after experiencing Artemis' betrayal!

So now, she didn't want to see Jason get into trouble.

But the effect is not very good.

Because the main reason why Hera was angry was not that Jason suddenly changed his beliefs and became a follower of Hecate.

But it was because of Jason that she lost face in front of the gods!

At that time, in front of Zeus, Athena, Hermes and the three goddesses of fate, she swore so confidently that Jason was her believer and that it was because of her that he had all the glory.

Still feeling proud of it.

Who knew that she would be slapped in the face so quickly, and immediately found out that Jason was not her believer at all, but Hecate's child!

The Greek gods are all very stingy, not to mention that it is a matter of losing face!

So just when Athena was feeling a bit of a headache about this.

"Huh......"

Suddenly, I felt that my position on Jason had responded, as if I had left the underworld.

Athena couldn't help but turn her head subconsciously with a slight doubt, looking in his direction from afar.

After realizing that her feeling was correct, Athena rolled her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

Chapter 37: Unexpected God

In a blink of an eye,

Three days passed.

After bidding farewell to the Centaur sage Chiron, Jason, a blond-haired and blue-eyed boy who was about to turn thirteen, once again embarked on his journey to find the gods.

This time, he was not looking for Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld, but her mother, Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, grain and harvest, one of the twelve Olympian gods, and also a goddess who was obsessed with her daughters.

And this day, the weather was very good and the sun was shining brightly.

It's perfect weather for getting robbed.

"Isn't this also Athena-sama's game..."

Jason, who had been robbed, felt a little tired and sat on a rock nearby.

At this moment, several unconscious bandits were tied to the big tree in front of him.

Jason didn't kill anyone these days, mainly because he wanted to leave a good impression on the goddess.

So these days, I've been a little more involved in other people's business.

The result was that during this short three-day journey, he, a little boy who looked like he had no fighting power but was extremely rich.

I was robbed twelve times!

Three days, twelve times!

"I haven't even walked out of the ancient forest yet...Are you guys bored?" Jason said, poking the unconscious robber in front of him with a branch he picked up on the road.

After the break, Jason stood up and looked at the bandits in front of him. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, you guys just stay here... As for whether you get killed by wild beasts, it's none of my business."

After saying this, Jason prepared to leave and sighed, "Goddess, where are you..."

You don't come out when we meet, but when we don't want to meet, you all come out as if you took stimulants!

Just as Jason was complaining in his heart and about to leave...

"Where are you going, kid?"

The voice of an elderly man suddenly sounded beside Jason's ear.

Jason stiffened slightly and turned his head to see the stone where he had just sat to rest.

Suddenly, a white-haired old woman sat down...

...Very good, this way of appearance is very divine!

By the way, Lady Athena, you won’t get bored!

Complaining in his heart, Jason turned to the old woman and replied with a smile: "In compliance with the will of the gods, I will go in search of the great goddess Demeter."

"Demeter? You mean the goddess of harvest, the one who now brings blight upon the earth, leaving everything withered and barren?"

......Huh?

Jason blinked and looked at the white-haired old woman in front of him.

After pondering for a while, Jason put away his smile and replied, "I don't think it was Goddess Demeter's intention to let the earth wither and everything die. She was simply overwhelmed with grief over the loss of her beloved child."

"My beloved child...Persephone."

The white-haired woman gazed at Jason calmly and said, “My child, I know who you are… You wear the sacred garment woven by Athena and always walk on the right path.

Wearing the sword of Apollo, the god of light, he bathes in light.

Jason, the child of Hecate, the goddess of opportunity!

It was also you who took Demeter's child Persephone to the underworld, causing Demeter to leave Olympus disheartened.

This is what caused the earth to dry up and all things to wither!

And now, why are you still looking for Demeter? Do you want to endure Demeter's divine punishment and be imprisoned in the divine prison forever?!"

"Tell me, child, what is the purpose of your actions this time?"

The white-haired old woman looked directly at Jason, as if looking into his soul: "Why would you take such a big risk? What is your purpose...?"

"...I was the cause of this," Jason replied to the old woman. "The cause is mine to resolve..."

"No, that's wrong!"

The old woman interrupted Jason and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you. Even without you, Persephone would have been destined to leave her mother's side.

You know this very well!

After you took Persephone away, you have already obtained everything you wanted. There is actually no reason for you to stand up and take this responsibility.

My child, I am giving you one more chance. Tell me...why did you embark on this journey to find God again?

"...To survive." Jason took a deep breath and finally replied, "Demeter is a great and powerful god. I took the initiative to accept this mission and embark on a journey to find the god again in order to protect myself and survive."

After that, the scene fell silent.

The old woman looked directly at Jason, into his eyes.

Under these eyes, Jason felt as if he was completely seen through.

So in the end, the old woman smiled.

A kind smile appeared on his wrinkled face.

"No, kid...you're still wrong."

The old woman stood up and walked towards Jason with her cane. "And I have seen the answer in your eyes!"

“Maybe you think you’re on this journey for yourself, but that’s not the case.

From your eyes, I saw your resistance to God. You didn't want to have anything to do with God, but you... finally stood up.

My child, have you ever paid attention to your eyes?

The old woman came to Jason, reached out and gently stroked Jason’s cheek, and said with a smile: “Your eyes… are so beautiful!

You are not a selfish person. I see a pure heart in your eyes.

The real reason that prompted you to embark on this journey again is actually because of the kindness in your heart... Am I right?"

The old woman smiled kindly at Jason and said, “Now the earth is withering and everything is dying. In just these few days, countless lives have died in this disaster.

That's why you choose to embark on the journey immediately, even if you have to face gods you don't want to face, even if you have to face gods who are very likely to hurt you!

Because you have taken upon yourself the responsibility for this terrible disaster."

Jason opened his mouth. He really wanted to tell the old woman that it was not like that. He was really just doing it for himself. He was not so noble. This was something only a hero would do. Everything he did was to keep himself alive!

But under the old woman's loving gaze, Jason could say nothing.

Kindness? Responsibility? ...These are things that will definitely suffer losses.

Not to mention, this Age of Gods is such a dangerous and chaotic era!

Then... do you have one?

Probably... a little bit.
