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

"That's true, but that only applies to my sister's low self-esteem. If it were Pollux, I'd be worried about her and Sisyphus..."

"Brother, do you want to die again?"

61. Is it simply because of lust?

The afterglow of the setting sun cuts in obliquely through the windows of the heavy-style building.

In front of Russell stood a wooden cross, illuminated by the afterglow of the setting sun, emitting a warm orange light.

It is not made of silver, nor is it embellished with gemstones like the stars in the night sky, but this simple shape gives people a special sense of mystery.

"Lord Sisyphus, are these the props used in the ritual?"

Medusa asked in confusion as she looked at the strange props in front of her.

Since that party, she has had the best time of her life.

The peaceful and beautiful days on the island with Sisyphus and his sisters were also the best time, but they were different from these days.

During this time, Medusa had things like "friends" and "believers".

The situation of the island's residents, the people who later became famous, and...

Known as the Pelasgians, or the Pelasgians.

The name Pelasgians refers to the earliest inhabitants of ancient Greece, but now it has another meaning.

People who still adhere to the belief in local gods.

Residents, outsiders, and those who adhere to the belief in local gods.

After Corinth was declared built, the Argonautic end point, the creation of novel sports games, and the spread of the name of the local god attracted many people to come.

"There haven't been many 'heroes' visiting the island lately..."

Medusa whispered this.

"Yes."

Russell also found this surprising.

After Asclepius talked with Apollo, he learned something.

Apollo tried various methods to avoid Artemis' request, but failed in the end.

He could only guide the heroes to the island and try to meet Russell under various pretexts.

how to say......

Apollo collected almost all the "heroes" who had a relationship with every goddess and brought them to the door, hoping to use this to sense where the aura on Russell came from.

but......

The temptation failed.

Moreover, when this group of Greek heroes learned that Russell had the treasure of the "Golden Fleece", some of them wanted to meet the legendary hero, and almost every one of them came to challenge him with great enthusiasm.

Then he was easily defeated and thrown out.

Over time, Corinth's reputation became more and more famous due to the spread of the news by heroes and people who left the island after seeing the scenery.

——The legendary utopia.

Rumor has it that there is no war in this place, and people use sports competitions to resolve conflicts and determine who is better.

The land here is fertile, and people can reap the rewards as long as they work.

There is no danger or oppression. The patrolling guards will protect everyone, and even monsters become friendly and helpful here.

People each do their job and live a simple and happy life.

When Russell heard such rumors, he felt complicated.

this......

You can’t say no.

The Games were indeed held, and the land must have been fertile because of the Golden Fleece and the Rank of Ishtar.

The monster followers created from Medusa's Rank ability will also completely obey and execute his orders, often serving as patrol guards.

Who doesn’t like this kind of obedient and free-of-cost tool?

The name is a bit strange, the legendary utopia...

Russell was curious about what the effect would be if this legend turned into a treasure in the future.

Like Avalon?

Probably not...

However, it is common for Greece to be named in this way, or for Greek place names to be used to have extended meanings.

Like Arcadia, it is also known as "paradise on earth", which means a place to avoid disasters, and it also has the rich meaning of Utopia.

Medusa glanced at Russell secretly, then mustered up the courage to ask again: "Lord Sisyphus, you haven't answered my question yet..."

"You mean this cross?"

Russell nodded seriously and threatened.

"Yes, this is the prop for the ritual. When you nail someone to it, you won't be able to cover your eyes with your hands."

"Eh......"

Medusa seemed frightened and her face turned slightly pale, but she then became firm again.

"I... I can bear it... As long as I can become like my sisters..."

She lowered her head and looked at her tall figure, where she could no longer see the back of her feet, and felt a little discouraged.

Recently, it seems to have grown again...

Not only growing taller, but also growing.

"..."

Even though he had known Medusa's thoughts for a long time and knew that her thoughts had never changed, Russell was still speechless.

"Why do you think your figure is not good-looking?"

"Please don't tease me by saying such things..."

As always, Medusa lowered her head in shame and protested in a low voice against what Russell called "lies".

Russell suddenly became serious: "I'm not teasing you. Haven't you noticed that when you stand with Stheno and Euryale, I always look at you more?"

"Is it because I'm too tall and look different?"

For some reason, Medusa has always lacked confidence.

This made Russell confirm this with greater trust and enthusiasm.

"No, it's because your figure is the most beautiful, so I'm looking at it."

"but......"

Medusa spoke hesitantly, and it was obvious that she hesitated for a long time before speaking.

"When the sisters washed their feet in the spring, Sisyphus would watch intently. When he carried Miss Medea on his back, he would be happy to be hugged by her thin arms. When Atalanta was practicing archery, Sisyphus would approach her and make close contact with her under the pretext of giving her guidance..."

In short, Medusa wanted to express only one meaning -

You said that her figure is the most beautiful, but why are you so obsessed with your good friends who are not as tall?

"This... this might just be because of lust."

Russell was caught off guard by Medusa's willingness to speak so frankly.

Fortunately, he is an honest man.

So it should be correct to say...

He really doesn't have any weird XP.

The most insulting thing Medusa said about him was that he was staring at Stheno and the others washing their feet.

This is not just slander, it is outright slander!

Those who knew thought he was playing the real-person version of FGO.

If you didn’t know, you would think he was playing a game named after four words.

62. You guys really made me suffer.

"That......"

Medusa suddenly raised her head and looked at Russell, her eyes becoming scorching.

"Lord Sisyphus, do you prefer me in this miserable state?"

"..."

Russell suddenly discovered that Medusa seemed to be some kind of congenitally bullied holy body.

I don't know why, but just talking about this, I have an urge to bully him.

Beneath the plump and gentle figure of an older sister, she is actually set up to be so weak and submissive.

"Rather than saying I like you the way you are now, I'd say I like all Medusas..."

The dim sunset was climbing up Medusa's body bit by bit, until it covered the woman in front of him with a layer of orange veil, until the sunlight reflected the light and shy smile on Medusa's face, until the sunlight swayed in Medusa's lavender eyes.

Medusa just looked at the man in front of her who always supported her, and suddenly said.

"Then...if it succeeds...I want to keep...keep the way Sisyphus-sama likes best..."

It seemed that saying such words was too much for the tall and plump girl with a confused mind to bear, so she turned around and left.

Only Russell was left in the temple, gently stroking the cross in front of him.

This is indeed a prop for the ceremony.

but......

This is not a ritual prop belonging to Pollux or Medusa.

But it is a ritual prop that belongs to him and will be used in the future.

When communicating with Circe, Medea and others, Russell had already begun to have the idea of ​​his own ritual.

It's just a rough idea, and the details still need to be filled in.

"Let's take a look at what we've gained during this period."

[Medusa: 100 (Life and Death)]

[When someone comes to her door, she's ready to fight and kill. Even her two sisters are playing pranks on her. This is a unique kind of love. As someone with the "Assassin" skill, if you can't improve your favorability, then it's really...]

Russell remembered that this should also be the name of a goddess in Greek mythology.

[Rank completed, unlock special bonds]

[Special Bond - Pray for the Arrival of Tomorrow

In the past, Medusa longed to have a look that would be worthy of being with her sisters.

Longing for the day to come when I can wear the same clothes, have the same appearance, and behave like a goddess.

If not, I also want to live peacefully with my sisters forever on the invisible island.

There is no need to laugh at this small vision.

But now, Medusa has a new wish -

The day I want to be with someone forever will come, and even if I lose the chance to become a goddess, it doesn't matter, because there is someone who can completely accommodate me.
