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

The slight heat made Jason's ears feel a little itchy, and after listening, he looked at Atalanta with a strange look for a while.

After thinking about it, Jason nodded.

Atalanta felt relieved to see Jason so well-behaved and sensible.

Without Jason as a burden, Atalanta was confident that she could escape even if she was injured!

"Then one, two... run!"

After saying that, Atalanta rushed out and ran quickly towards the distance. When the lion saw Atalanta appear, it immediately let out a deafening roar and chased after her.

Seeing their receding backs, Jason turned around and chose to leave.

But after running for more than ten seconds, he ran back with a helpless look on his face.

"Oh, after thinking it over carefully, I decided to just forget it... rescue her and then knock her out."

Having said that, Jason chased after Atalanta with a helpless look on his face.

Soon, Atalanta, who was dealing with the lion, saw Jason running back... Mainly because of his white clothes, he was too conspicuous!

Seeing Jason running back, Atalanta, who was thinking about how to escape, suddenly changed her expression and almost exploded with anger.

This guy is really a fool!

At this moment, Atalanta even had the urge to raise her bow and arrow and shoot Jason in the head with one arrow!

At the same time, Atalanta saw Jason put his hand on the sword on his body, and his lips moved slightly, as if he was saying something.

"Great God of Light Apollo, I, Jason, pray to you, please kill the enemies that stand in my way!"

As Jason finished speaking, the golden sword was unsheathed and turned into a dazzling golden light in the dark night. It flew out at a speed that was difficult for Jason and Atalanta to capture with their naked eyes. After piercing the lion's head, it returned to the scabbard again.

Now that the beast was dead, Atalanta naturally stopped.

But it was obvious that she did not react at first. It was not until Jason walked in front of her that Atalanta, who was looking at Jason with wide eyes, came to her senses.

Looking at the dead lion with blood all over the ground, and then looking at Jason with blond hair and blue eyes wearing white clothes, he couldn't help but ask: "Who... are you!"

Jason didn't answer her, but looked at her bleeding arm with a frown: "Are you hurt?"

"...It didn't catch up with me. It was scratched by a branch while running." After answering, Atalanta couldn't help but add: "Even if you didn't come back, it wouldn't be able to catch up with me. I would easily shake it off!"

"Yes, yes, I understand, I understand."

While Jason gave her a perfunctory answer, he took out some herbs from the bag Athena had given him, crushed them in his mouth, and applied them to her hands.

This was a skill taught to him by Chiron, and Jason also learned it seriously, mainly to please Chiron's students, his senior brothers.

Atalanta subconsciously tried to avoid it, but Jason grabbed her and applied the medicine to her regardless of her struggle.

After applying the herbs, Jason ignored Atalanta's fierce glare and looked at her with some hesitation in his heart.

Should I wait until her injuries heal before knocking her out, or should I knock her out now?

Just as Jason was thinking this, perhaps because he felt someone was looking at him, he subconsciously glanced to the side.

With a quick glance, Jason saw the figure of a silver-haired woman in a long dress next to a big tree that was knocked down by the lion.

The silver-haired woman was now sitting gracefully on the golden-horned deer, her beautiful blue eyes wide open, looking at Jason and Atalanta with interest.

Hey...did you see something extraordinary just now?

Jason's brain was still working, thinking whether to knock Atalanta out now or wait for a while before knocking her out. After realizing this, he blinked.

After a moment, his whole body became stiff.

He didn't dare look over there anymore!

"Hey... Hey, I'm talking to you!" Atalanta looked at Jason, who ignored her, and raised her voice: "Tell me, why are you running away... Are you even listening to me?"

Seeing that Jason ignored her, Atalanta angrily reached out and pinched his face.

And just then...

"No, Atalanta, you can't bully this child."

The silver-haired woman sitting on the golden-horned deer came over in the moonlight.

She smiled gently, looked at Atalanta who was stunned for a moment, then slowly opened her eyes wide, looking at her in shock, and then jumped off the golden-horned deer.

He reached out and pressed down Atalanta's hand that was holding Jason, then touched Jason's stiff head and said softly, "Because this child is Hecate's child."

"Ah...Ah...Ah, Lady Artemis!"

Atalanta looked at Artemis who suddenly appeared in disbelief and said in shock: "Why are you here?"

After saying this, the shocked Atalanta reacted and quickly took two steps back, then hurriedly tidied her clothes with a look of panic on her face.

The moon goddess Artemis actually saved Atalanta, the most respected god in Atalanta's heart!

I knew it…I knew it!

At this time, Jason, with his body stiff, looked at Atalanta, crying silently in his heart.

I knew that you, a woman, are a trouble, a huge trouble!

Chapter 20: There's no way to escape...

Artemis is one of the twelve gods of Olympus.

She is the sister of Apollo, the god of light, and the child of Zeus, the king of gods, and Leto, the goddess of the Titans. She is also the girl most favored by Zeus among the gods. Zeus will almost satisfy any request of Artemis.

Zeus agreed to all the divine duties and requests Artemis asked for from him to be the virgin goddess, so Artemis had many divine duties, including the moon goddess, hunting goddess, goddess of nature and even war.

At this moment, she came before Jason and Atalanta, who admired her the most.

Gently patted Jason's head.

Because he is Hecate's child, Artemis, who was once saved by Hecate's mother, naturally has a good impression of him.

"Me?" Artemis blinked her beautiful blue eyes and replied to Atalanta with a smile, "I've always been here. I just saw that you guys seemed to be having a lot of fun, so I haven't come out yet."

"......Eh?"

Jason and Atalanta were both stunned, and Jason couldn't help but turn his head to look at Artemis.

Under the moonlight, Artemis, wearing a gorgeous long dress, looked childish but still extremely beautiful.

When their eyes met, Artemis blinked and then gave Jason a beautiful smile.

"A-Lady Artemis, have you been watching this the whole time?!" Atalanta said in a louder voice with her eyes wide open.

"Yeah." Artemis nodded slightly.

"Ah, this... this, this isn't Lady Artemis!" Atalanta panicked. "I'm not, I'm definitely not inferior to this guy. He's not as strong as me... He definitely can't outrun me. I haven't been using my full strength!"

Atalanta felt ashamed when she thought that the respected Artemis was watching her and that she had made all kinds of embarrassing mistakes because of Jason.

Therefore, Atalanta, who was so ashamed that she almost wanted to commit suicide, looked at Jason with a sharper gaze!

This made Jason feel very depressed.

"Yes, I know." Artemis said, and stepped forward to touch Atalanta's head, saying: "I know Atalanta is a very good child."

Atalanta froze with wide eyes.

Just now... Lady Artemis touched my head?!

Did Artemis just praise me?!

After realizing what was happening, Atalanta immediately revealed an expression of great happiness.

Jason stood aside, speechless as he watched Atalanta, who had transformed from a wildcat into a domesticated cat. After a moment's thought, he said, "Lady Artemis, may I ask if you already know..."

"Jason, right?" Artemis smiled at Jason, who was hesitant to speak, and said, "Don't worry, I've already heard what Apollo said, so I've been watching you since you entered the forest."

"I was planning to appear before you right away, but..."

As she spoke, Artemis's gaze lingered for a moment between Atalanta and Jason, and then she smiled even more brightly.

It was as if she had found a toy that she really loved!

"Come here, both of you."

After saying this, Artemis got back on the golden-horned deer and walked with Jason and Atalanta for a while before arriving at a small hut.

"It's getting late today, so you should get some rest first. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it tomorrow morning."

Naturally, the two dared not object to Artemis's orders.

And after all this commotion, the two of them were actually a little tired.

Then the two were taken by Artemis to a room with only a bed in it.

Artemis looked at Atalanta and Jason and said with a smile, "Go to bed, children."

When Atalanta heard this, she looked at Jason, opened her mouth, but finally said nothing and went to bed.

Jason's mouth twitched slightly, and then he said to Artemis: "My Lady Artemis, I think I can just keep watch..."

"No need to keep watch. You must be tired too. Go to sleep." Artemis replied with a smile: "Tonight, the moonlight will keep watch for you."

Hearing this, Jason had no choice but to go ahead.

Fortunately, the bed is quite big, and the two of them are indeed little ones, only over ten years old!

Then, after Artemis left, there was a period of silent silence.

"If you dare come close, I'll kill you!"

Jason could hear the muffled sound of Atalanta gnashing her teeth.

"Don't worry, I definitely won't!" Jason replied in a low voice.

"......Humph!"

Nothing happened overnight.

The next day, Jason got up from bed in a daze, facing the sunlight coming in from the window.

Hey, I actually fell asleep...I guess I was too tired last night.

Just as Jason was thinking this, he felt an itch near his ear. He turned his head and saw Atalanta, who was curled up and sleeping quietly.

Jason's body stiffened slightly for a moment, and then he began to move expressionlessly. After successfully getting out of bed without waking Atalanta, Jason breathed a sigh of relief.

Let's go out and find Lady Artemis.

Jason thought so and walked out of the room.

Not long after he walked out, Atalanta suddenly opened her eyes wide... As an excellent hunter, she would not miss any movement!

"Awake?" Artemis was stroking the golden-horned deer outside the house. When she saw Jason, she handed him the fruit she had picked.

Just as Jason was expressing his gratitude to Artemis, Atalanta also walked out of the room.

Jason couldn't help but look at Atalanta a few times. Seeing that she looked normal and showed no signs of anger, he felt relieved.

"Jason, you're going to continue your journey, right?"

As they both ate the fruit, Artemis said, "If that's the case, then I will escort you out of these mountains."

"Don't bother with that, Lady Artemis. I've already hired a hunter..."

"hunter?"

Artemis tilted her head and looked at Jason. "But didn't you leave the money in the tent and a message for them to go back?"

...It's sitting pretty tight, isn't it?

Atalanta glanced at Jason.

If Artemis hadn't been here, she would have really wanted to interrogate Jason and ask him what had gone wrong that made him run away last night.

Also, what is the attitude towards her?

By the way, the hunters have woken up now and are searching the mountains for people... It doesn't matter that Jason is missing, since they have the money anyway, but what about Atalanta's disappearance?

Especially Atalanta's uncle, he is almost dying of anxiety now!

Artemis knew everything, and Jason could only lower his head and eat wild fruits without saying a word.

Then Artemis looked at Atalanta and said with a smile, "Then Atalanta, do you want to come with me?"

"Yes!" Since it was related to Artemis, Atalanta's answer was naturally without any hesitation.
