Type-Moon, there are too many myths that defy the heavens!

Chapter 35: Aphrodite, the Master of Self-Discipline

After getting the approval of Castor and Pollux, Ash and his party came to Helen's room under the guidance of the Gemini Gods.

As soon as they arrived at Helen's door, they were stopped by the Gemini Gods.

"Helen said that if there are guests that we can't stop, we should let them see her alone," Castor said.

"So, we'll just stand guard outside the door." Pollux also took over the conversation with a smile, "Please go in and see her, Ash."

Hey, let me meet Helen alone?

Facing the words of the Twin Gods, Ash looked at Ariadne beside him, and sweat began to form on his forehead.

Are you blind and can't you see the Athena trumpet next to me?

Or... did you do this on purpose?

Seeing this situation, Ash quickly saved himself and said, "I can't bring Ariadne into the room?"

Faced with Ash's question, the Twin Gods were like NPCs whose dialogue options had not been triggered, and did not respond at all.

Not my friend? If you're not afraid of death, don't take me with you!

I still want to live a few more years before the Goddess Shura Field arrives!

"I'll just stay outside the door."

Just as Ash was becoming increasingly nervous and considering whether to test the Twin Gods' strength and choose a physical approach, Ariadne spoke up, "Ash, you're going to be bringing two relatives across the ocean, so it might be helpful to discuss this with them privately."

"Uh..." Ash thought for a moment and confirmed, "You really... don't mind?"

"Why would I care..." Ariadne smiled, "Ash and I don't have a real relationship, do we?"

Sister, when you say this, can you please put a little smile in your eyes?

Any normal person can see that you are extremely bothered by this matter!

Looking at Ariadne's fake but creepy smile, Ash found it difficult to remain calm.

Or... should I challenge the two gods, or not meet Helen?

"Brother Castor, Sister Pollux, you don't have to be so rigid." Just as Ash was about to back out, a voice as sweet as wind chimes rang out from within the room, "As for the guest's female companion, I'm happy to accommodate her."

"Female companion?!"

"Ash..." Hearing the person in the room calling her, Ariadne's face flushed. She no longer looked like a resentful woman. Instead, she excitedly asked Ash, "Am I considered a female companion? Yes? I definitely am?"

No, sister, where is your wisdom as a goddess, your reserve as a princess, and your self-esteem as a woman?

How can someone just send you away with a few nice words?

And what’s going on with Helen? I’m clearly here to help you, so why are you increasing the intensity on me?

"Is that right?" Faced with the sudden judgment question, Ash could only nod his head and say, "As long as Ariadne doesn't mind..."

"I won't despise you." Ariadne happily hugged her beloved boy and said happily, "Just your words are enough for me!"

At this point, Ariadne smiled and said to Ash, as if showing the composure of a winner: "Ash, go in quickly. I'll wait for you outside."

Is Athena having a love affair? Is she so easily manipulated?

Although Ash was a little surprised by Ariadne's reaction, he chose not to investigate further, lest she use it as an excuse to eat and take things and enter the room alone.

As soon as he entered the hall, Ash saw a girl with blue hair, red eyes, and a soft yet pretty face, smiling and bowing to him.

"Hello, guest from afar," the woman said. "I am Helen."

Looking at Helen's face, Ash couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

On the way here, he had thought more than once about what the most beautiful thing in the world looked like, causing so many disputes and becoming the fuse and victim of war.

But when he really saw Helen, he was still a little surprised.

Because this most famous beauty in Greek mythology did not have the gorgeous charm of a beauty that brings disaster, nor did she even have the majestic and breathtaking beauty of the goddesses.

The Helen that appeared before him was more like a sea-blue rose, mysterious and pure, yet not intimidating.

In Ash's eyes, Helen was like the third-best beauty on campus, yet she had more admirers. Compared to the two more dazzling beauties, her beauty wasn't as ostentatious, and she didn't make people feel unattainable, which would discourage them from pursuing her.

To use a more straightforward metaphor...she is like Uma in Azur Lane. She doesn't have the supermodel figure of other ship girls, nor the decadent face of a succubus. Instead, she is like a gentle, kind and beautiful girl, who makes people feel good about her and can't help but pity her.

After witnessing Helen's unique aura, Ash couldn't help but sigh that it was only natural for the later heroes to fight for her.

After all, a girl like Helen, who is so lovable yet so difficult to distance herself from, does have a beauty that is worth pursuing and competing for.

As Ash marveled at Helen's unique temperament, Helen spoke again and confirmed to Ash: "You are Ash Adonis...right?"

Ash was a little surprised: "You know me?"

"Yes." Helen nodded obediently and said softly, "I am a believer blessed by the goddess of beauty Aphrodite. I have heard the goddess mention your name before."

Ash asked curiously, "What did Aphrodite say about me?"

"She never told me what she thought of you. But I know you must be a beautiful young man like a flower."

"..." Ash was silent for a moment and asked, "Why do you think so?"

"Because the look in Aphrodite's eyes when she mentioned you was completely different from usual," Helen said with a hint of longing, "like the warm and charming spring sunshine."

Listening to Helen's sigh, Ash couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Aphrodite... Is this the second time she's helped me?

The gods all said that I was her destined true love, and she did make that extremely heavy confession to me... Why did she not appear by my side despite having such a heavy love, but instead helped me silently?

Ash couldn't think of an answer to the question.

In his impression, Type-Moon's Aphrodite is a goddess with two completely different thinking circuits. Her personality and mentality are more like a magical girl who accidentally enters a black factory. She can maintain a business-like attitude at work, but maintains the world-weariness and fatigue of a corporate slave after get off work.

But in fact, the Aphrodite he actually came into contact with was ridiculously heavy. Her gravity was far greater than that of Athena and Artemis, and even higher than that of Persephone. She was arguably the heaviest goddess in Greece.

Faced with this Aphrodite who was completely beyond Ash's cognition, he thought about it and could only conclude that Aphrodite might have observed some strange future, causing her personality to become like this.

Or perhaps...this god of love and beauty has a personality and thought process that is unique to being in love?

Ash couldn't think of an answer, but he had to be thankful that Aphrodite didn't just appear in front of him and pursue him directly.

After all, he was already sweating profusely just having to deal with Persephone's nightly phone calls to check on him, as well as Athena's secondary account and her proactive pursuit of him. If there was another Aphrodite secondary account... what a chaotic scene it would be!

Fortunately, Type-Moon Helen is a demigod who was demoted from a local natural god, rather than a mecha minion like Ariadne.

Otherwise...I really don't even dare to think about it!

"Aren't you a demi-god, a natural god?" Ash couldn't help but ask, "Why did you become a follower of Aphrodite and care so much about her?"

At this point, Ash carefully considered his words, trying to avoid hurting the other person as much as possible. "Excuse me, but you should know... your future will be controlled and interfered with by Aphrodite, right?"

Faced with such a sharp question from Ash, Helen's expression did not change at all and she still kept smiling.

"I know everything you're saying," Helen said. "In the destiny woven by the gods, I will become the fuse of war, bringing destruction to Troy, and after suffering the pain of displacement, I will become a transformed god."

"Now that you know your fate..." Ash couldn't help but ask, "Why are you still so calm?"

"Because Lady Aphrodite gave me a prophecy after I lost my divinity: If you can encounter the most beautiful flower before you get married, you can change your fate." At this point, Helen's smile became even sweeter. "Lady Aphrodite was right. I did see the most beautiful flower in Greece."

What, you knew your fate would be changed by me before I came?

It seems like I'm the only one who's been kept in the dark?

After hearing Helen's words, Ash was stunned for a moment, then smiled with relief.

I was wondering why Helen wasn't afraid or scared about her fate at all, and acted so calmly... Turns out Aphrodite had predicted this future and even gave Helen a spoiler!

I was thinking of the plan on the way here. I wanted to first comfort Helen, then ignite her courage to fight against fate, and finally invite her to join our team... I had just reached the stage of talking, and you told me that she had already been spoiled, and she only needed to wait for me to go through the process and then she could join the team directly?

Thinking of this, Ash couldn't hold it in any longer: he had only seen game players skipping plots in his entire life, but this was the first time he saw a player being skipped in the plot.

No, sisters, can you please make this stage play constructed by the mecha god more formal, turn off the spoilers, and give me some adventure experience?

If you guys keep playing like this, what should I do if I become a stupid player who never thinks about solutions, mindlessly skips plots in every situation, and drools even after being cured?

Thinking of this, Ash suddenly remembered something he had forgotten: That’s not right, am I not also a player with a system that can predict the future and skip the plot?

What about my system? How long has it been since it last bubbled up?

The last time I popped up... damn, that was eleven years ago, when I first arrived in the underworld!

When he thought of this, his whole face turned red involuntarily.

Damn it, this system is no longer a deserter, but a complete loser of trust!

It’s so bad, it’s really so bad!

"Master Ash, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Ash looked uneasy, Helen quickly handed him a handkerchief and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

"Nothing, I just remembered something bad." Ash came back to his senses, took the handkerchief handed to him by Helen, wiped the sweat off his face and said, "Thank you for your concern."

After thanking Helen and wiping the sweat off his face, Ash decided to finish what he was saying to avoid any unnecessary mistakes.

"The Dioscuri Twins and I will become heroes of the Argonauts and undergo the trials of the gods. This trial for all the Argonauts will probably last for a very long time."

"Under the circumstances, leaving you alone at home isn't a good option," Ash said. "Helen, how are you going to spend the next few days?"

"I don't have a precise answer yet." Helen asked calmly, "I wonder... Mr. Ash, what are your plans?"

"My plan isn't complicated," Ash said directly. "I'll ask Artemis, Athena, or Lady Demeter to prepare a home for you and ensure you won't be harmed by others until your family returns."

"If the three goddesses come to protect me, I really don't have to worry about being harmed." Helen said with a smile, "Master Ash is very considerate."

Ash denied Hailun's statement: "If I were really considerate, I wouldn't have taken your two family members on such a long trip."

"It's very thoughtful of you to think of me like this," Helen said with a smile. "But please don't be so humble. It will make me feel bad and I won't be able to bear your kindness."

My goodness... Is this Helen really the sister of the Dioscuri twins?

Why do I feel like... her mentality is more mature than her brother and sister?

"So what do you want to do?" Seeing Helen's maturity, Ash said directly, "I respect your choice."

"My choice?" Helen thought for a moment and abruptly introduced her expertise. "I can wash clothes, cook, knit, and pray..."

"I said stop!"

"I was asking about your future plans, why are you suddenly naming dishes?" Ash couldn't help but grumble after hearing Helenwen's irrelevant answer, "This isn't a Greek talent show. You don't need to tell me about your talents!"

"But..." Helen tilted her head and said doubtfully, "Didn't you let me make my own choice?"

Ash couldn't hold it in any longer. "I asked you to make a choice, but what does this have to do with your sudden request for a dish?"

"Because I want to stay by your side and be your maid," Helen said seriously. "As your maid, shouldn't I first explain my duties?"

"No?" Ash couldn't hold it in any longer and complained, "You should know how Aphrodite sees me, right?"

"I know," Helen said fluently, "you are Aphrodite's child, lover, destined true love."

"You know all this, so how dare you stay by my side as a maid?" Ash was speechless. "Aren't you afraid of being bullied by Aphrodite?"

"Don't be afraid." Helen said as if it was a matter of course, "This is Lady Aphrodite's arrangement."

"What the hell?" Ash was speechless. "You said Aphrodite asked you to be my maid?"

"Yes." Helen nodded and said, "Lady Aphrodite asked me to do this."

I wonder, is Aphrodite so self-disciplined?

Ash was completely dumbfounded by Helen's sudden words.
