Type-Moon Greece, I really don't want to be a hero!

Even now, she is only about ten years old, but she is already an excellent hunter!

So when everyone was silent.

"I don't agree." Jason suddenly said, "You must be joking! I'm asking for protection, not going on a picnic!"

What a joke, a woman, and a beautiful one at that, how could I possibly let you come with me! Speaking of Atalanta...who is she? The name is a little familiar, but I can't remember it for a moment.

Jason, who had been memorizing the names and deeds of various gods recently, really couldn't remember who Atalanta was for a moment.

But this doesn't matter, Jason knows she is dangerous!

It all made me feel something. Tell me, is this woman dangerous or not?

Jason's words, on the other hand, made the man Atalanta called uncle stunned for a moment.

The reason why he did not agree to let Atalanta go with him was because he felt that Jason was a nobleman, and with Atalanta's beauty, it would easily cause trouble!

Generally speaking, this is true. Although Jason was only twelve years old, in that era, there were many people who went to bed at the age of twelve.

Then, under the persuasion of the middle-aged hunter, Atalanta, who was adopted by him, had no choice but to leave unwillingly.

Before leaving, he glared at Jason fiercely.

Hmm... I always feel like this guy will cause me trouble.

Watching Atalanta leave unwillingly, Jason felt that he seemed to have made another wrong decision today.

But now that things had come to this, Jason had no choice but to go ahead. Moreover, after what happened with Apollo, he felt that he really needed some guides.

Afterwards, Jason and his companions left the town.

The group walked for a while. Although they were not as fast as Jason alone, they were much more efficient.

The hunters who have been living in the ancient forest for many years and make a living by hunting naturally know where they cannot go, where there are dangers, and where there are traps.

This made Jason very satisfied, and he felt that the money was not wasted... although he still felt a little uneasy in his heart.

After the afternoon's journey ended, everyone began to set up camp and prepare to rest for the night. Jason finally understood the source of his uneasiness.

"Uncle, you can't drive me away now!"

Atalanta, who had been quietly following the team and had not been discovered by anyone thanks to her excellent skills, now walked out proudly.

At the same time, she glared fiercely at Jason who didn't want her.

When Jason saw her, he instantly understood where his uneasiness came from, and some black lines appeared on his forehead.

Of course, now that things had come to this, Jason couldn't send her back, after all, they were already deep in the forest.

Later, when everyone rested and had their meal, Jason secretly asked the hunters about Atalanta.

Then they learned that Atalanta was an abandoned child picked up from the mountains by the middle-aged hunter.

Moreover, this child survived by being fed with the mother bear's milk. She is a girl blessed by the great god. The bow and arrow she carries on her back is proof of that!

She was raised by a mother bear, blessed by the gods, her weapon was a bow and arrow, and her name was Atalanta... Ah, I remember who she is!

One of the famous Greek heroines, and a future chosen member of the Argonauts, the one favored by the moon goddess Artemis!

Oh my god, this is a real trouble!

Jason finally remembered and looked at Atalanta with a green face.

No way, I run into trouble with just a few people I pick up... Either I meet a god or a hero, it's too cruel!

No, I can’t go on like this, I have to escape... Yes, I have to escape!

Jason was extremely decisive. After a brief thought, he made a decision in his heart with an expressionless face!

So late that night, when it was quiet, Jason, who was protected in the tent by everyone, quietly slipped out.

After seeing that the hunters didn't notice him, he tiptoed into the darkness and left.

But when Jason left, he didn't notice that Atalanta was sleeping on a big tree not far away.

At this moment, he was tilting his head, blinking his emerald eyes, and watching Jason walk away step by step in confusion...

Chapter 18: Run...it seems like I can’t run away!

Atalanta watched Jason leave and didn't care at first.

People have three urgent needs, so she naturally subconsciously thought that Jason had gone to the bathroom... although his behavior seemed a little strange and a bit sneaky.

But would a young noble choose to escape at this time?

Putting aside the fact that Gulin is facing many crises, the question is what is he trying to achieve!

So a few minutes passed, then ten minutes, then more than half an hour...

Well, why haven’t you come back yet?

Atalanta closed her eyes and rested, but did not fall asleep. After confirming that Jason had not returned for such a long time, she finally frowned and jumped down from the tree.

Then Atalanta glanced at the hunters on night watch, thought about it, and did not announce the matter. She thought that Jason might have a stomachache or encountered some reptiles or something.

Guessing that Jason hadn't gone far, he went to look for him alone.

As an excellent hunter, Atalanta easily found the footprints left by Jason, and immediately realized that something was wrong!

Because these footprints had actually been cleaned, but it was obviously done by an amateur and was very rough.

"Is this...running away?"

After following the footprints for several minutes, Atalanta finally realized what was going on and was stunned.

"This person is sick!"

Running into the forest alone in the middle of the night, isn't that courting death?!

Startled, Atalanta looked up at the full moon tonight. Then, she looked back at the camp, hesitated for a moment, and then gritted her teeth and said, "It's none of my business if you're looking for death, but I haven't paid you yet!"

After saying that, Atalanta did not hesitate and followed Jason's footsteps and chased after him!

At this time, Jason's escape was not smooth.

Although they had been traveling for a while, about a month, Jason had actually always been "taken care of" and rarely traveled late at night.

In addition, he was unfamiliar with the place and could only run in the direction indicated by the compass, so Jason did not escape very fast.

So after about ten minutes, Jason was successfully caught up by Atalanta, an excellent hunter.

"Hmm, there seems to be some noise behind..."

Hearing the unnatural screams of the animals behind him, Jason subconsciously turned around to look.

Then they soon found Atalanta, who was holding a scimitar under the light of the full moon and easily harvesting the creatures that blocked her way.

Unlike Jason who was running in a somewhat awkward manner, Atalanta seemed very comfortable. After all, night was also a hunting time for hunters, and Atalanta had long been accustomed to players in the forest at night!

Jason saw Atalanta, and Atalanta naturally saw him as well. After all, he was dressed in white as snow, and it would be hard not to be discovered in such an environment.

Seeing that Jason was fine, Atalanta felt relieved even though she didn't understand the situation.

Just as she spoke and was about to call Jason and take him back, Jason's face changed suddenly. When he saw her, he looked at her as if he had seen some plague god. He turned around and his speed instantly increased several times.

Slipped away...

......

What do you mean by this?

Atalanta, who had good eyesight, saw the change in Jason's expression clearly, so she instantly became unhappy.

At the same time, she also remembered that in the afternoon, Jason despised her, forcing her to follow him secretly.

The more I think about it, the worse I feel!

Catch him back, you must catch him back!

Atalanta, who hadn't cared at first and had only come because of the kindness in her heart, suddenly became motivated.

She felt provoked and began to chase after him vigorously.

And Jason, of course, ran as hard as he could!

In fact, Jason could not outrun Atalanta. He was not as fast as Atalanta. After all, Atalanta's speed was one of the best among all Greek heroes.

Even though Atalanta is still young now, Jason is also young.

However, compared to Atalanta, Jason has the advantage of white clothes and an invulnerable body, so he can ignore most troubles.

Atalanta had none, and so was naturally hampered.

So the two of them chased each other and actually maintained a subtle balance in the end.

After running like this for half an hour, Jason, who had calmed down, soon regretted it. He realized that his behavior was irrational and felt that the right thing to do was to face Atalanta directly, talk to her, and then politely give her money to let her leave!

Because just as Jason was about to stop and make peace, he noticed that Atalanta, who was chasing him from behind, was looking at him with increasingly sharp eyes, even taking down her bow, eager to fight...

The main thing is that Atalanta is really angry now. Not to mention Jason's attitude, she has spent so much time and still hasn't caught up!

Well... this won't work. It seems more troublesome to just stop.

Jason vaguely sensed this, and it was indeed true. If he stopped at this moment, Atalanta would be in an even worse mood.

Jason felt a slight headache and couldn't help but mutter under his breath: "This woman is really... a trouble!"

Having said that, Jason no longer had the heart to continue running... Mainly because he found that he couldn't get rid of it at all, so after a brief thought, Jason began to slow down his pace and pretend to be exhausted.

The distance between the two was shortened little by little, and finally, after a few minutes, Atalanta successfully caught up with him.

Just when Jason thought everything was fine.

"You did it on purpose, didn't you?" Atalanta said, looking at Jason with a grim expression, "You thought I couldn't catch up with you, didn't you?"

"...You've been chasing me for so long. Don't you know whether you can catch up or not?"

With a frown on his face, Jason finally confessed straightforwardly!

Jason doesn't want to cause trouble, but that doesn't mean he's afraid of it!

Although Atalanta will be a famous hero in the future, she has not grown up yet, and in the final analysis, she is just a hero.

She's a human, not a goddess!

Jason thought he had done enough, but he didn't expect Atalanta to still hold on to him.

Or... just knock her out with force and then run away?

Jason looked at Atalanta, who was looking at him with wide eyes, obviously not expecting him to answer like that, and began to think about the possibility of this action.

Well... although the moon is not dark and the wind is not strong tonight, the location is in an uninhabited ancient forest and there is no one around, so it is completely feasible!

Soon, Jason made a decision in his heart.

Then, just as he was looking at Atalanta's neck, his heart was eager to try, and he was ready to stand up and forcibly suppress Atalanta.

Atalanta, who was originally looking at Jason and gritting her teeth, suddenly moved her ears and her face changed slightly, as if she felt something.

He reached out, grabbed Jason's hand, who was eager to try, and took him to hide in a bush.

The two of them were pressed close together. Atalanta covered Jason's mouth with her hand and stared nervously outside through the gaps in the bushes.

Soon, not long after the two of them hid inside, a huge, drooling lion slowly emerged from the shadows, walking with gentle hunting steps...

Chapter 19 I knew you were trouble!

In ancient Greece, there were dense jungles and swamps everywhere, full of ferocious lions, boars and other evil beasts.

Therefore, it is not surprising that a lion hunting prey would appear in this ancient forest. However, this lion was not the one killed by Hercules, the invulnerable lion born to the giant Typhon and the half-human, half-snake monster Echidna.

But it is a relatively ordinary monster.

Of course, even so, it was not something that the young Atalanta could handle easily, not to mention that in Atalanta's view, she was carrying a burden!

Damn, I chased this guy too deep, now I’m in big trouble!

Looking at the ferocious beast that was sniffing the scent not far away and was sure to come over sooner or later, Atalanta couldn't help but bite her lip.

Just as she was thinking of a countermeasure, Jason, who was caught off guard, finally broke free from Atalanta's restraints.

But Jason did not speak rashly, but followed Atalanta's gaze and looked outside.

Seeing that Jason didn't do anything stupid like yelling, Atalanta breathed a sigh of relief. She lowered her voice and whispered in Jason's ear, "After I run out to lure it away, just run. Don't look back. Got it?"
