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

"Alright! Preparations for the voyage are about to begin, so let's get ready together!"

Before he finished speaking, Russell spoke quietly.

"No, maybe a little later!"

He stood up and turned to look down at the boat.

At the last moment before the voyage, I didn't expect such an unexpected thing to happen.

A female hunter was staring at Russell with a cold expression, with the bow in her hand already drawn and aimed.

The original number of Argonauts was fifty.

But, if I include myself, will the number be fifty-one?

Russell was a little surprised. There were only fifty people on the boat now. In other words, the female hunter under the boat was one of the original Argonauts?

The identity of the female hunter is obvious.

Atalanta.

26. I have a friend

A huntress surrounded by the scent of the forest and dressed in beautiful emerald green clothes.

Although she was born as a human princess, she has ears that look like animal ears and something that looks like a tail.

Unlike some goddesses with delicate and soft limbs, the female hunter in front of him still had fair skin, but one could faintly see that her figure was healthy. When she pulled the arrow, her body was like a thin bow.

There is a joke that there is no heroine in Greek mythology, unless she is a huntress.

Among all the female hunters, one of the best is named——

Atalanta.

Her name came to Russell's mind.

It’s a pity that this female hunter doesn’t seem to be friendly to him.

Seeing his friend being targeted by the huntress's arrows, Jason gloated and said, "Sisyphus, I knew you'd get into trouble with women. Now they've come knocking on your door!"

"Do not......"

Russell shook his head, wondering.

"I can confirm that I didn't know this woman before this."

"is it?"

The gloating smile on Jason's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a rare indifference.

"So, it's an enemy who came to provoke us?"

At this moment, he frowned and shouted to Atalanta below: "Hey, woman, you actually dared to aim your arrow at Sisyphus, at Master Jason's best friend, have you thought it through?!"

After she finished speaking, Atalanta was silent for a moment, then turned the arrow towards Jason.

She had a blank expression on her face and cold eyes, and her hand holding the bow and arrow was exceptionally steady, as if she was about to shoot accurately in the next second.

Faced with such an obvious threat, Jason became furious.

How could he, a man of great loyalty, tolerate this at this moment?

Jason took a half step back and protected Russell in front of him: "Sisyphus, it's up to you!"

"It's lame to just run away after making a harsh statement."

Without waiting for Russell's response, Pollux said speechlessly.

At this moment, she was already rubbing her hands in preparation, and even Castor was polishing his sword.

The Argonauts, led by Asclepius and Hercules, came to the bow of the ship upon hearing the news.

Hercules frowned and stood calmly beside Russell with his fists clenched.

Asclepius remained expressionless as always, but a snake shadow flickered in his sleeve.

"You guys, are you trying to hurt my crew?!"

After everyone gathered, Jason jumped out again and regained his confidence.

Facing the gazes of the heroes on the ship, Atalanta was not afraid at all. She just said indifferently: "I just want to know the status of Lady Artemis..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the hostility led by Hercules and others immediately dissipated.

"Ugh......"

Hercules patted Russell's shoulder, sighed, and turned away without saying anything else.

The snake shadow in Asclepius' sleeve dissipated, and he said in a strange tone: "So it's for Aunt Artemis, then it's okay..."

Pollux glared at Russell and left with the dissatisfied Castor.

Only Jason, with his arm around Russell's shoulder, laughed mockingly.

"Ah, it seems someone has captured the hearts of more than just two goddesses on the Invisible Island..."

"In a sense, you are right."

Russell thought back, it was true that he had captured the hearts of more than just the two goddesses on the Invisible Island.

"But in a sense, you're also wrong."

Riddler, get off the Argo!

Not wanting to argue with Russell any further, Jason turned around and, with a strange smile, dispersed the crew members who still wanted to watch the fun. He then said to them, arm in arm, "Let me tell you, when Sisyphus and I were studying together in the mountains..."

I always feel like I'll have a few more weird legends...

But this time, it really isn't my fault, right?

Russell looked at the panel and saw that Artemis's favorability towards him remained unchanged.

[Artemis: 80 (subtle)]

In fact, it is still in a delicate state.

Moreover, Artemis hadn't found herself for a long time since the last time.

So......

Why?

Russell looked at Atalanta, whose eyes were still cold, and asked curiously, "I did meet the Moon Goddess before, but that was a while ago. Why are you asking me about Artemis' current condition now?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, Atalanta looked at the guy in front of her, who for some reason made her, despite hating all men, feel a little fond of him, and spoke softly.

"During this time, I prayed to Lady Artemis every day as usual, but I never received her response."

Shouldn't we look for our own problems?

Of course, Russell did not answer that way.

Seeing that Atalanta's tone had inexplicably softened, he knew the reason.

Unlike the Rank bonuses already mentioned, under the Rank bond with Artemis, both Rank 1·Moon's Blessing and Rank 3·Hunting can be said to be special attacks against Atalanta.

"Could you please tell me in more detail?"

So Russell asked this question.

Hearing this, Atalanta involuntarily put down the bow in her hand and said in a depressed mood: "Before, Lady Artemis would often answer my prayers, but one day, she asked me this question..."

"Lady Artemis said: She has a friend who was offended, but instead of punishing her, she wanted to get closer to that person. What kind of mentality is this?"

"And this is how I responded to Lady Artemis."

Atalanta said in a low voice with a flicker of regret in her eyes.

“I said: This is probably interest, right?”

"Artemis never responded to you after that?"

Russell asked thoughtfully.

Atalanta's kitten-like ears drooped at this moment.

Russell sighed, he already understood the whole story.

Now that the Mecha God's true form and the God's human body exist at the same time for unknown reasons, it is also the situation where bugs are most likely to occur.

As expected, Artemis' extreme rationality and extreme sensibility intertwined at this time, and a conflict broke out because of this issue.

While Russell was thinking, Atalanta's voice turned cold again: "Before this, I always thought that it might be my answer that angered Lady Artemis, causing her to abandon me..."

A sense of despair turned into anger at this moment.

"But after meeting you, I know the real reason why Lady Artemis doesn't respond to me!"

"Just by seeing me, you know the real reason?"

Russell was a little surprised. There shouldn't be any stories related to wisdom in the legend of Atalanta, right?

"Of course! I knew it the moment I saw you!"

At this time, Atalanta had already aimed the arrow at Russell again and shouted with confidence.

"The friend Lady Artemis was referring to is Lady Artemis herself!"

"You only know about this now?!"

27. I have a friend

"Just how slow is that..."

Russell sighed helplessly.

"Besides, why did you only know about this after seeing me?"

Even if it really was him, how did you know?

Atalanta frowned slightly upon hearing this, and questioned in a serious tone, "Dull? How is this dull?"

"Exactly! What's so slow about this!!!"

The person who said this was Jason, who was already watching the show on the deck.

Faced with his friend's suspected emotional turmoil, the captain's choice was:

"That huntress over there, we support you!"

"What's so slow..."

Looking at these heroes who were eager to watch the fun, including Hercules and Asclepius, Russell did not get angry, but just smiled gently.

"Because, it's as obvious as—"

"Jason said he had a friend who claimed to be a hero admired by countless girls, but he was still a virgin."

"..."

The gloating smile on Jason's face froze at this moment.

Not bro...

How do you know about this?

Feeling the strange looks from the crew members around him, he gradually began to collapse.

"I never thought, Jason, that you would be a breath of fresh air among our heroes!"

Someone in the crowd made such a mocking sound.

no......

Jason was a little crazy. After his father was deprived of the throne by his younger brother, Jason was adopted and educated by Teacher Chiron when he was still a child, and studied under Teacher Chiron.

Where is the opportunity to display the charm of Greek heroes?

After leaving Teacher Chiron, he was blessed for carrying an old lady across the river.

Even though his uncle used tricks to not hand over the throne that was rightfully his, he still received help from the gods and was able to build the largest ship in Greece today and to travel around to spread the word and recruit heroes.
