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

All of this gradually put Atalanta in a weak position.

Until I completely lost the ability to resist.

Some people who lack experience lack some common sense.

For example, you can actually breathe while kissing.

Atalanta lacked such common sense.

Therefore, even with the physique of a hero from the Age of Gods, he gradually couldn't bear it after a long period of communication.

It is worth mentioning that Katniss, who obviously did not participate in it, gradually forgot to breathe while watching the scene in front of her.

"call......"

Finally, after regaining her free will and the ability to breathe again, Atalanta stared at the man in front of her with shame and anger.

How come you are so skilled...

She really wanted to ask this question, but she was worried that she would be caught again after asking it.

Now Atalanta could only retreat and hide behind Katniss, so that she could feel safe from the companion with whom she had just been arguing.

"poor!"

"that is......"

Katniss agreed, feeling a little dry in the mouth. She felt that Atalanta and Sisyphus certainly didn't have a dry mouth right now.

wrong!

Katniss, oh Katniss, what are you thinking about!

What we should do now is to protect our friends!

Although this partner was just stabbing her in the back.

but.....

Katniss shook her head and said righteously, "Sisyphus, you are being awful! I will not allow you to attack Atalanta again. Even if it means sacrificing my own body, I will protect Atalanta."

"Katniss..."

Atalanta was somewhat touched, but she always felt that something was wrong.

Russell looked at Katniss with some surprise, who seemed a little guilty but also a little expectant.

Then he smiled and said, "But, Ata, I don't think I've told you my request yet?"

"Didn't we kiss just now?!"

Atalanta's tone now had no threat at all. Her voice used to be as strong as that of an older sister, but now it was so weak that it made people want to protect her.

"You mean that?" Russell said matter-of-factly. "That, that's the kind of shitty thing a shitty person like me should do. It doesn't require... "

"?"

It was as if a question mark rose above Atalanta's head, and she was horrified and complained.

"Why can you say such shameless words so naturally?"

"That's it."

Katniss also echoed.

"Such outrageous words are said so easily."

Is it easy to say excessive words?

Russell thought for a moment and spoke again, "Atalanta, you don't want Artemis to know that you've defaulted on your debt, do you?"

“Who wants to default on their debt?”

Atalanta, who was a little overwhelmed, finally plucked up the courage to walk out from behind Katniss.

"Tell me, what do you want?"

If that's an excessive request...

She just...she just...

There is no way to refuse to pay the debt!

Atalanta made a difficult choice between social death and shame.

But, to her surprise, Russell did not state any requirements.

As Atalanta looked on, he simply took out a wreath of laurel leaves.

"This is......"

Feeling the power of the Moon Goddess contained in it, Atalanta not only did not accept it, but instead took a few steps back.

Russell didn't step forward forcefully, but spoke softly.

"This is a gift from Artemis to you."

"Lady Artemis..."

Atalanta felt even more guilty.

How could she accept a gift from Lady Artemis?

I have done something so unfair to Lady Artemis.

He had clearly made the same oath to Lady Artemis, the same oath Artemis had made, but he had broken it.

The target is Artemis's lover.

He was still a child raised by Artemis.

When she thought of this, Atalanta finally said to herself with a forced calmness, "I am not worthy."

"Artemis said that she already knows everything you've done and your struggles."

Ignoring Atalanta's self-abandonment, Russell just continued to talk to himself.

"Although she didn't respond to you because she was angry, she heard your prayers every night."

Atalanta suddenly burst into tears.

Russell still ignored her and continued, "She said that although you didn't keep your oath, as the Lord God, she didn't either, so she doesn't blame you."

"Of course, although she's still angry for other reasons, but..."

In response to Atalanta's stiff inaction, Russell placed a wreath of laurel leaves on her head.

"Artemis said that if you believe you are guilty, then she will forgive your sins."

"really?"

At this moment, Atalanta was as fragile as a child.

Russell nodded.

Of course, Artemis didn't finish what he was saying.

For example, he kept talking about things like "If you want to fight, be prepared to be beaten to your knees" and "Atalanta is a promising child."

Russell naturally only said good things about it.

Now it seems that the effect is good.

Silent silence spread throughout this place.

Even the carefree Katniss remained silent at this moment, waiting for someone to break the silence.

finally......

Atalanta loosened the longbow she had been holding tightly in her hand and threw herself into Russell's arms.

"It's great to meet Lady Artemis."

The same is true of meeting Sisyphus.

The faint moonlight shone on the two people hugging each other at this moment.

Russell seemed to see a goddess gritting her teeth, but then it disappeared like an illusion.

After hesitating for a moment, he also hugged Atalanta.

"Wow, so touching."

Seeing this, Katniss suddenly stepped forward, opened her broad arms, and hugged Russell and Atalanta together.

Then, Atalanta's dull voice sounded.

"Katniss, has the power of Poseidon made you lose your mind?"

87. The request must be related to what Ata likes (10/18)

The good atmosphere was completely ruined by this thick-skinned guy.

Atalanta couldn't stay in Russell's arms any longer, so she turned around and stood next to You.

Katniss puffed up her face in dissatisfaction: "What? I just helped you guys to restore your relationship. I helped Sisyphus win the game..."

It would be fine if she didn't talk about this, but as soon as she did, Atalanta got angry.

Is this still helping her?

Just now, Sisyphus said that he didn't need to be asked to do so, but he just wanted to do it himself.

If it were necessary to use a request, Atalanta couldn't even imagine what Sisyphus would do.

No!

Absolutely...absolutely must cancel this request!

And you have to use a suitable excuse, otherwise you might be accused of defaulting on your debt.

As Atalanta pondered this, she tentatively asked, "How about we have another race?"

If the victory in this running competition can offset the requirements of the previous archery competition...

It should be possible, right?

Atalanta thought this, but she was actually not sure about winning the race.

Katniss, who seemed to have awakened amazing wisdom, seemed to understand what Atalanta wanted to do.

Cunning, so cunning!

The righteous Katniss was about to speak up to expose this, but Russell nodded first.

"Ugh......"

Katniss sighed, feeling that Sisyphus still didn't have the same wisdom as her.

Now, I'm afraid I'm going to fall into Atalanta's trap.

"it is good!"

Atalanta nodded excitedly, even her kitten-like ears stood up and her tail couldn't help but wag.

"The rule is...is..."

Generally speaking, her rule for racing with others is to rely on her own strength and let others run first. She will wait for others to run out, and then, like chasing prey, she will catch the one who runs out first.

And now...

It seems that the roles should be reversed.

Even though she felt a little uncomfortable, Atalanta realized this.

She somewhat shyly proposed rules that would benefit her.

"Then... let me run first, and then you catch up after ten seconds. How about that? If I reach the destination first, I win. If you catch me along the way, you win."

What a shame.

It is truly a lifelong shame to win in this way.

but......

Atalanta felt that if victory was not achieved in this way, that condition would be offset.
