My mother's love song

As far as he could remember, Atalanta did not have animal ears or tail when she was a girl.

In other words, in order to find her escaped self, she received a beast-like blessing [curse] from the goddess?

“…Ah, this.”

Rhode then realized that his frivolous act of repaying a favor had left her with a deep curse.

How can she make up for what she has gone through over the years?

Got it. I will arrange for the physical body to break the curse now!

Chapter 389 Reunion

"That kind of thing is not a blessing from the goddess at all! It's a curse, Ata!"

Rhodes suddenly shook his body excitedly and shouted, "I can't imagine that Artemis would give you something like this. Do you understand?"

Atalanta's tail is more like a lion's tail than a cat's tail. It is soft, flexible, yet full of power.

The girl's tail tightly wrapped around Rhodes' neck, making him speechless.

"Why are you so excited?"

Atalanta rolled her eyes. "You are a scumbag who abandoned his newlywed wife. Why are you still pretending to be so hypocritical? Who do you think made me like this?"

""

Rhodes was speechless.

Atalanta sighed, stroked the furry animal ears on her head and said, "This is not something that Lady Artemis gave me... it was given to me by Lady Apollo."

Tsk... that bastard who just wants to watch the fun and make trouble.

The reason why Rhodes ran away was largely because he thought that he and Atalanta had only known each other for a week from the time they got engaged.

He thought Atalanta would soon forget him and live an ordinary life, free from the curse of the goddess.

In the end, his actions caused Atalanta to receive a curse called "God's Blessing" in another way.

Rhodes broke free from the restraint of the tail and asked, "Ata, have you been looking for my whereabouts since then?"

"Yes, always. I have been looking for you for many years... until I die."

After a long silence, the Greek huntsman said disapprovingly: "You are my prey. Since you are my prey, there is no reason for me to give up until I capture you."

Of course, nothing was gained.

The girl wasted her entire life from her teens until her death, and in the end she never got married.

In the eyes of others, she is either a poor woman who was toyed with and abandoned by a man, or a madman filled with revenge.

"Ata... do you like me?"

Rhode asked directly, "Or is it just because the proud female hunter felt humiliated after being abandoned by a man that she wanted revenge?"

"..."

Atalanta remained silent for a long time before speaking.

"I don't know. I probably liked it before."

The girl turned around, stared at him with angry eyes, and said coldly, "You taught me what love is. When I was so happy that I thought I could be happy, you left without saying goodbye.

At that time, I didn’t feel anger or hatred, but despair and confusion.”

The night Rod disappeared from Arcadia, Atalanta sobbed and kept repeating "why".

Why did you abandon me?

Why are you teasing me?

Why, you obviously don’t want to marry me, but you want to meet me?

Wanting to know the answer, she kept searching for the whereabouts of the boy and her husband.

Rhode looked at the ceiling and said, "Is that so... Ata, you really have always liked me. This is something I didn't expect. It's not unreasonable to say that this is the biggest mistake!"

Atalanta stepped on Rhodes' face, leaving a mud mark on his handsome face.

She said angrily: "Huh? Don't be so self-indulgent! Who has always liked you?

My love for you was limited to the first ten years. After that, I no longer had any feelings for you at all!"

…It’s long enough, alright. At least longer than Mikasa’s.

"I understand."

Rhodes let out a long sigh and said calmly as if he had accepted his fate: "Kill me, Atalanta. I will not resist. I have no complaints about being killed by you.

I know this won't make you feel any less angry, but if it can make you feel a little better... that's all I need."

"It's up to me to decide whether to kill you or not."

Atalanta deliberately raised her perky buttocks and sat heavily on Rhodes' stomach. After he screamed, she smiled and said, "And you said you won't resist? Do you think you can resist?"

“Wow… That’s hard to say.”

"Humph, he's obviously a jerk who would cheat even in a race with a girl, a playboy who's only good at talking, and incompetent."

"Huh? Who are you calling incompetent?"

I'm just giving you a chance to be decent. Do you really think I can't beat you?

Rhodes decided to resist a little.

"I'm talking about you, incompetent Rhodes. Incompetent, incompetent, incompetent!"

While arguing with Atalanta, Rhodes secretly used magic to untie the ropes on his wrists and ankles.

Because it was a rope with Artemis' power attached to it, it took a while.

Then he sprang up, seized Atalanta by both wrists, and threw her to the ground with a scream.

I originally thought that it would be difficult for me to defeat the three knights with my fragile Caster panel, but I didn't expect it to be so easy.

He clasped the girl's wrists with both hands and then used his knee to hit her thigh to give her a taste of her own medicine.

Atalanta just fell to the ground and looked at Rhodes with a disdainful expression.

"Hmm? My incompetent husband, what are you going to do to me?"

"..."

Rhodes hesitated for a moment, but finally let her go.

The next second, Atalanta raised her long, beautiful feet.

boom! ! !

The powerful kick hit Rhodes' abdomen and sent him flying.

Rhodes' body smashed into the wooden house and he flew out.

Then almost at the same time, the moment he landed, Atalanta sat on him.

To be precise, he rode up.

In contrast to the situation just now, Atalanta looked down at the young man from above.

"Ata, I..."

Rhodes was about to say something, but he saw in the moonlight that although the girl's eyes were wide open, tears were falling from the corners of her eyes.

Atalanta raised her fist and smashed it hard into Rhodes' face.

One punch, one punch.

"Why...you just...don't understand?...Why...?"

One punch, one punch.

Atalanta gnashed her teeth as her fist full of resentment and large tears fell on Rhodes' face.

"I clearly... I clearly no longer have any feelings for you... But after seeing you again, this heart that I thought was dead has... started to burn again!"

One punch, one punch.

"Even if you've completely changed... Even if you're no longer a child and have grown into the man I could never accept before... I still... can't help... can't help but like you..."

One punch, one punch, and another punch.

"How clearly do I have to explain it to you...for you to understand? Huh? Tell me! Haven't you always been...good at controlling me?"

Rhodes raised his hand and held the girl's fist.

"That's enough. If you continue like this, I'll be beaten to death by you."

Atalanta sneered, "So you are afraid of death too."

“It would be very troublesome if I died now.”

While holding her fist, Rhodes said, "Until just now, I have never apologized to you. Ata, can you allow me to apologize?"

"Whatever you want. You've always acted on your own and never considered my feelings, right? What's the point of asking me this now?"

Atalanta bit her lip and said, "There's no way I'll accept your apology. Wouldn't it make me look like a clown?"

Rhodes nodded, then said, "I'm sorry, Ata. I never cared about your feelings."

"Hmph." The female hunter raised an eyebrow. "That's all. Can I kill you now?"

"No."

"why?"

"I am sure now... I still like you, Atalanta!"

Rhode said quickly: "From the beginning, I intervened in your life because I wanted to get you, and now this feeling has not changed.

Do you remember the agreement between us? [I will help you solve the problem of the suitor, and you must satisfy me with one thing]

Now I have figured out what it is... I hope you can forgive me!

Although I am a hopeless scumbag husband, and I have had relationships with many, many, many women in places unknown to you...more than you can imagine, but please forgive me!"

“Huh? You, you, you, you…what are you talking about!?”

Just when Atalanta's mind was in a mess and she didn't know what to do, Rhodes suddenly raised his upper body, and the powerful impact caused the female hunter riding on his waist to lean back.

"Yah"

The next moment, Atalanta felt an arm grasp his waist.

At this point, there is no point saying anything. I should just solve the current situation using the method I am best at!

Thinking of this, Rhodes leaned forward and kissed her lips.

"!!!"

Atalanta's eyes widened, her cheeks flushed, and she resisted violently.

"Let go...quickly...let go...wu! wuwu!?"

Rhode just took it all in one go, punching, kicking and nailing him.

******************

Even Atalanta wouldn't be so cruel as to bite off her tongue.

Rhodes, feeling confident, became even more aggressive.

Gradually, the huntress's arms wrapped around Rhode's neck...

……

……

……

"..."

Atalanta collapsed on the grass, completely exhausted.

Her delicate cheeks were flushed, her neck was covered with sweat, and her moist lips looked extremely beautiful in the moonlight.

The buttons on the chest were undone, revealing the fair and smooth skin of the collarbone, on which the young man had left several kiss marks without mercy.
