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

Ash lifted Athena up again, forcing her to look directly at him.

"A-Ash?"

The goddess blushed again, and asked nervously, "What's wrong with you? Are you still not satisfied?"

No sister, aren't you a chaste goddess? Why are you so down?

Your level is comparable to those virgin-type masters in the field of sex who have vast theoretical knowledge but as much practical experience as a desert!

Ash was having a hard time keeping his composure, but he still managed to keep his expression tight and said seriously, "Athena, listen to me."

"Uh-huh."

Athena nodded repeatedly and said with a smile, "I'm listening."

"Make a pact with me."

Ash said seriously, "No matter what the situation, don't do anything stupid... but talk to me... and don't hide anything from me... okay?"

At this point, Ash added: "If anything happens to you... I will be sad..."

"Ah this..."

Athena was startled when she heard this, and suddenly remembered that she had kept the fact that she had transformed into a referee a secret from her lover, so that he didn't know... A drop of cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

Should I agree... or... not agree?

If I agree... but don't tell this story... wouldn't I be a bad woman?

But if I don’t agree... Ash will be disappointed, right?

No, I can't betray Ash's expectations!

"Before I agree to your promise, Ash, I must tell you something..."

"Actually... Aunt Demeter told me a month ago... Ash, you can choose your life partner on your own..."

After struggling for a moment, Athena immediately left Ash's arms, bowed her head and apologized, "I'm so sorry I didn't tell you this for a month!"

Good guy, in order not to break the agreement of "not hiding it from me", you choose to tell it now, right?

I didn’t realize you were so “honest”!

Faced with the Goddess of Wisdom's apology that was honest yet tinged with scheming, Ash couldn't help but feel both amused and helpless.

"Ash?"

Athena looked at Ash's expression of being at a loss for words and asked in confusion, "Aren't you surprised?"

"I'm not surprised."

Ash smiled and said, "Hermes told me this before."

"Hermes..."

Athena muttered her brother's name before confirming with Ash, "So... aren't you angry?"

"Of course I am angry."

Ash said seriously, "How can I not be angry if you hide this from me?"

"Well……"

Athena panicked upon hearing this and wanted to apologize.

But before she could finish her words, she found her lover continued: "But I'm not that angry."

"Eh?"

Athena asked in surprise, "Why?"

"Because when I think about it, Athena, you chose to hide it from me because you were afraid of losing me, so I'm not so angry anymore."

At this, Ash smiled.

"What you did was indeed bad, but no matter how you look at it, it is also a form of love."

Ash said, "Since it was an action based on love, even if there are some mistakes, I can't completely deny it."

"Anyway, I'll forgive you this time."

Ash patted Athena's head and said with a smile, "There won't be a next time."

Facing Ash's smile, Athena was actually a little dazed.

If her lover had to change into a tragedy before, he would show heroic colors when protecting the hero.

The smile that now appeared before her was as gorgeous and romantic as a blooming rose, which made people yearn for it but did not give rise to any desire.

In a trance, Athena recalled the discussions on beauty among later philosophers that she had seen when she was observing the future of Athens.

Some people say that the spiritual beauty resides in the physical beauty, and that natural beauty exists in people's physical posture and behavior.

Some people say that the ignorance and wisdom brought by sufficient knowledge also exist above the human spirit and are unique to the inner beauty.

There was another person who once asked:

If there is a person who has the beauty of an inner spiritual state in his heart and the same harmonious beauty in his physical posture and behavior - wouldn't such a person be the most beautiful sight in the eyes of a contemplative connoisseur?

When Athena heard this question, she never thought about her answer.

Because this is the answer that humans ask of humans, and it is humans themselves who should find the answer.

but.

Now Athena can give her own answer in her heart.

Yes, those who possess both beauty and charm are naturally the most beautiful and the cutest.

"Hey, hey, why are you distracted again?"

Looking at the dazed look on the face of the Goddess of Wisdom, who seemed to have entered a state of shutdown, Ash said with a look of concern, "Are you thinking of something bad again?"

"what?"

Athena shook her head and said with a smile, "No, no, I just took a short break and had a conversation with someone from the future..."

"Future people?"

Ash asked curiously, "Who are you talking about?"

"Socrates..."

Athena smiled and said, "It's the future Athenians."

"Oh my god, it's actually him..."

Ash complained, "How could you still desert and go to his place?"

"hey-hey……"

Athena smiled and said, "I am the patron saint of Athens. It's not surprising that I know the future Athenians, right?"

"Let's be honest..."

Ash nodded, "That's not surprising..."

When mentioning the name of Socrates, Ash first thought of his confusing philosophy, and then thought of his disciple Plato.

Ash knew that Plato was a famous philosopher in ancient Greece, but his first reaction was not his philosophical thoughts and works, but some abstract things.

Before traveling to the Type-Moon world, he had heard that Plato of the Type-Moon world was not only a philosopher, thinker and educator, but also a martial arts genius who was proficient in human hearts and fighting.

It is said that Plato's martial arts level is so high that he can predict all the opponent's moves and thoughts, avoid any form of opponent's attack, break all forms of defense, and even compete with the enlightened ones.

Although the above statement is purely a funny comic and is limited to close combat, Ash still can't help but be curious... Will the Plato of this Type-Moon world be like the so-called Master Horror, with both inner beauty and strong martial virtues?

Yaxiu knew that his sudden curiosity was full of the evil taste of the cricket fight between Guan Gong and Qin Qiong, but he was just a little curious.

Considering the current atmosphere, Ash felt that it would be better not to ask such an abstract question and ruin Athena's mood.

"So, Athena..."

Ash looked at Athena and struck while the iron was hot, "Will you... make a pact with me?"

"Ok!"

Athena smiled and nodded, then said solemnly, "From now on, I will never hide anything from you, nor will I make you sad."

"that……"

Athena thought for a moment, then shyly asked Ash, "Do you want me to... swear an oath to Metis, Athena, Minerva, and Ariadne?"

I'm boiling, don't!

If you swear like this, it would be too heavy and too scary!

"No, that wouldn't be an agreement, it would be a bondage."

Ash tried to persuade her as gently as possible, "I don't want to deprive you of your freedom and keep you tied to me."

But I think, I really want to!

If I could enjoy that privilege every day... I wouldn't complain even if I was tied to you!

Athena shouted this in her heart, but she did not dare to make such a shocking declaration.

Therefore, the goddess of wisdom who was in love could only put away the delusion in her heart, nodded obediently and responded: "If Ash doesn't like it... then let's keep it this way."

After that, the Goddess of Wisdom, having made her promise, once again threw herself into the arms of her beloved. Like a little girl who had eaten honey, she begged in a voice so sweet it almost made her laugh: "Can we do that again?"

No sister, aren’t you the goddess of war?

How can you still like being passive?

Faced with Athena's prayer, Ash was speechless, but he had no complaints.

After all, he knew that although he had obtained the right to choose his spouse from Demeter and was upgraded from the trophy of the World's Most Important Women's Conference to a referee, he was still just a referee in the final analysis.

Although the referee has the power to make decisions during the game, what about outside the game?

Therefore, Ash's reason told him that it would be better for him to act according to his previous trophy idea to avoid a setback after the game.

You know, in the original myth of the Trojan War, Helen, a Spartan princess, gained the right to choose her spouse with the help of her adoptive father, the king of Sparta.

The Spartan king even made Helen's suitors sign a covenant through a series of operations, stating that "no matter who wins, the loser will support the marriage."

And then... the result is that after Helen was abducted by Paris... all of Helen's suitors gained a legitimate reason to declare war on Troy.

With this mythological original as a lesson, Ash did not dare to be arrogant at all, let alone to gain the dominant position by force.

If all goddesses could give up their dominance like this, then I wouldn't have to worry so much, right?

Ash sighed in his heart and confirmed to Athena, "Don't tell anyone about it, and don't ask for it again."

"I won't tell anyone about it. It won't do me any good."

Athena nodded repeatedly and continued, "So...is that okay?"

"Alas... I really can't do anything with you..."

Ash sighed and said helplessly, "Close your eyes."

"Ok!"

that's it.

The goddess of wisdom once again enjoyed a happy moment that belonged only to her.

……

While Ash was comforting Athena, everyone on the Argonauts felt a little uneasy.

This is not to say that they don't believe in Ash's ability to coax people.

After all, they had all witnessed the legendary feat of the Flower of Greece being caught up in the Shura field formed by Artemis and Athena and being able to escape unscathed.

But...

"You said..."

Hermes, the one who could least stand the loneliness and most sensed the danger among those present, couldn't help but ask, "After Athena is coaxed into submission by our Flower of Greece... will she take revenge on us for witnessing her vulnerability?"

After Hermes asked this question, the people present suddenly became even more silent.

That's right.

Everyone present believed in Ash's ability to coax people, but they couldn't quite believe that the Goddess of Wisdom had a broad mind.
