I'm in Type-Moon, how can I let you bully me?

"It's good if you understand."

Seeing that Asclepius really understood, Russell said even more happily: "Come on, let's go and wait for Hercules. I just heard that he will be here soon..."

I heard...

Or just heard...

Listen to who?

Asclepius looked around in confusion, but there was no one else around.

Jason said he wanted to gather 50 heroes, but now there are only three crew members on the ship, him, Sisyphus and Jason.

Sin ah.

But is Hercules coming?

After reluctantly putting away the bottle of purple liquid in his hand, Asclepius struggled to shake off his desire to start medical research immediately and walked out of the cabin.

"Hey, Asclepius, have you finished showing Sisyphus around our Argo?"

When Jason heard familiar footsteps behind him, he didn't even turn his head, but laughed triumphantly while keeping an eye out for any heroes who might be interested.

"How's it going? Sisyphus, our Argo is the best, right?"

After his triumphant shouting, Jason thought for a moment and added in a low voice.

"...There's no need to mention wanting to be the captain."

"The Argo is indeed the best, but I didn't come to you for the captaincy..." Russell said with a smile after confirming the ship. "I just know that our last friend is coming."

Not just hearsay.

It was just information gained from a single glance with a powerful gaze.

Russell's words made Jason's eyes light up, and he suggested a name: "Hercules?"

Russell nodded, having already confirmed the result.

After seeing Russell nod, Jason stood at the highest point on the bow and looked in all directions.

"Where? In which direction? In... in... seems to be here? I saw it!"

After looking around several times, Jason finally called out loudly, pointing out the direction excitedly.

"I see it! Hercules' figure!!!"

In a moment, Asclepius had walked to Jason's side.

Russell, on the other hand, also looked at the direction Jason pointed with great interest.

At this moment, Jason showed a slightly ambiguous and strange smile on his face.

"Tsk tsk, I thought only Sisyphus would get into trouble with girls, or some kind of happy trouble. I didn't expect Hercules, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, to be like this. He's quite popular with women..."

Asclepius raised the corner of his mouth slightly when he heard this.

Russell glanced at Jason and responded, "Let's not talk about that guy's curse on me for now. Let's just talk about things like being popular with women... What's your basis for thinking that Hercules is popular with women?"

"Of course it's the partner beside him!"

Jason answered firmly.

Asclepius hesitated and said, "Perhaps he is just a companion?"

"Companions? Do companions hug each other? Do companions show such intimate behavior when walking together? Do companions create such an ambiguous atmosphere? Can the look in companions' eyes when looking at each other be so impure?"

After using all his life's knowledge to barely improve his eyesight, Jason judged even louder.

"The two of them are clearly...just...strange..."

Jason suddenly seemed to be stuck and stopped talking.

Asclepius also remained silent, just looking in the direction of Hercules in the distance with an uncertain look.

Only Russell looked over there and fell silent as usual.

"male?"

"It seems to be a man."

"Hercules started a love affair with a beautiful boy?"

Jason and Asclepius looked at each other, somewhat confused.

Russell had a complicated expression.

"That should be it, Hercules and his... male companion?"

"He was a young man of exceptional beauty, and he had indeed been killed by Hercules."

"That's impossible, right? I'd rather it was a knife that stabbed me in the back."

The last person to say this with a bitter face was Jason.

Russell already knew who the young man next to Hercules was.

Xulas.

A young man who was abducted by a water fairy because of his beauty. He was also the adopted son and lover of Hercules.

Hmm...adopted son and lover...

So your Greek mythology is really a bit confusing?

25. Atalanta

"Ugh......"

Looking at the bewildered Hercules, the three sighed in unison.

Hercules smiled a little sheepishly and said, "I raised this child. I brought him to participate in this expedition to test him into becoming a true hero."

Let’s just be homosexual!

This meme became very popular in later generations.

But at this moment, Russell realized that this was not a joke, but something that really happened.

Should we say, he is worthy of being the son of Zeus?

Or should we say that it is worthy of being a Greek myth?

Speaking of which, Hylas didn't seem to be Hercules' most beloved lover. Hercules' nephew and lover Iolaus was also known as his lifelong partner and lover.

However, she doesn't seem to be as famous for her beauty as Xu Las.

"it is good!"

At this time, Jason's initial surprise had turned into excitement when Hercules confirmed his joining.

"Hercules, I've heard of your fame. With you joining us, this expedition will surely be a glorious one!"

Under Russell's strange gaze, Jason stepped forward, looked at Russell, Hercules and Asclepius, and praised them with the greatest enthusiasm.

"Asclepius is a skilled doctor, responsible for curing illnesses and saving lives. Sisyphus is the most resourceful, responsible for making plans. Hercules is renowned for his power and will be responsible for facing the enemy head-on. Together, the four of us will be invincible!"

"No... then what are you responsible for..."

"There's no need to distinguish between friends..."

......

The chosen heroes arrived one after another.

Before they knew it, the legendary fifty Argonauts had gathered.

The voyage is about to begin.

"This is the starting point of my dream, the birthplace of my dream! I want to be a king, a praised and outstanding king! In Iolkas, the throne is waiting for me to inherit!!!"

As always, as on the day when the fifty heroes had not yet gathered together, Jason was standing on the deck, loudly declaring his dream.

"That's why I'm launching this voyage. That's why I'm gathering you, the best heroes out there. That's why I'm going to be the captain!"

Everyone laughed, and faced with this familiar scene, they all showed helpless expressions as they watched Jason chattering.

But, I didn't laugh at it.

At first, some people laughed at this dream, but then, as Jason opened his arms and declared it day after day, the voices of ridicule disappeared unknowingly.

"What a complete idiot."

Hercules listened as always and finally made such a judgment.

"But when it comes to my dreams, I never hide anything and never retreat."

Russell sat upright on the bow and nodded.

Beside him was Pollux, who looked curious.

"Sisyphus, can the ritual you mentioned really help me recover?"

"Of course!"

Russell nodded without hesitation, confident in this.

He was familiar with the legend of Pollux and Castor.

This brother and sister once portrayed themselves as "saviors of humanity in distress during war or sailing."

However, after this, it is more inclined to the existence of the patron saint of navigation.

Its representative is the [St. Elmo's Fire], which is the light emitted from the top of the mast and other places during storms.

"This voyage will be a help to your recovery."

Russell points to the heroes gathered on the deck of the ship, demonstrating its function to Pollux.

"After all, as the patron saint of navigation, what better aid could there be than to assist in the greatest voyage of all?"

"Hmph..." It wasn't Pollux who spoke, but Castor. "Human words really shouldn't be trusted."

Compared to his sister Pollux, Castor harbors even more resentment towards humans.

After all, Castor, who was included in the Greek pantheon like other minor gods, was deified into a human being, so he felt humiliated and full of resentment.

But the next moment, under Pollux's dilemma, Castor whispered, "But since it's what Sisyphus said, it should still be worthy of belief."

"As expected of Sisyphus, even Castor placed his trust in you."

At this time, Asclepius brought the collected herbs and sat next to Russell, sighing.

"Sometimes, I really feel that you have an inexplicable persuasive power."

"Yes..." Pollux also said with a smile at this time: "After all, Sisyphus is indeed a man who always keeps his word..."

"No, wait, sister..."

Castor, who was always full of resentment but never showed it to Pollux, couldn't hold back his tone at this moment.

He looked at the way Pollux was looking at Russell, and felt the complete difference between Pollux's attitude towards Russell and his attitude towards the others, and frowned.

"Could it be that without my knowledge, you and Sisyphus..."

"No."

As twins with a tacit understanding, Pollux understood what Castor wanted to say without waiting for him to finish.

Then, she interrupted Castor for the first time, stopping him from continuing.

A smile appeared on Pollux's face, but Castor felt a chill in that smile.

"Be careful or I'll kill you, brother."

"Well...it's inevitable that Castor would think that..."

Before he knew it, Jason had finished his announcement for the day and ran to Russell with a smug look on his face.

"After all, I've long noticed that Sisyphus has an inexplicable attraction to women, even goddesses..."

"Want to die?"

The next second after he said this, Jason was stared at by both twins.

A drop of sweat oozed from his forehead, and he quickly said, "Just kidding, just kidding..."
