In order to appease the anger of King Minos, Athens had to send seven pairs of boys and girls to Crete every year, and Minos would throw them into the labyrinth to be killed by monsters.

As the next king who would inherit the city of Athens and also a hero, Theseus naturally stepped forward.

......

......

"So that's what happened."

When Jason brought Theseus and Cerberus, a little girl with black hair and red eyes wearing a black dress, to the human world.

Theseus also told Jason what had happened, including the story about the Minotaur, a minotaur.

Jason nodded and looked at Cerberus... Jason found that it was not a bad idea to bring Cerberus with him, because with her, Jason didn't have to think about the truth of other people's words. She was the best lie detector!

All Jason had to pay was a few honey cakes.

The most important thing is, if she seems fine, you can touch her head. This is the loli version of Hecate!

After getting confirmation from Cerberus, Jason couldn't help but fall into thought.

In fact, Jason was not very clear about the story of Theseus, but he knew about the Minotaur and Minos' labyrinth.

Because this is a very famous story, secondary creations can be seen in various games and videos. The way to get out of the maze is also very simple. Just tie a rope outside and then walk in.

Logically speaking, this matter should have nothing to do with Atalanta. But now that it is related, it is obviously because of Jason. If it were not for her, Atalanta would not have challenged the act of pushing the stone to the top of the mountain.

"I understand, Brother Theseus. You can go back first..."

"Don't you want me to go with you?" Theseus asked doubtfully. He wanted to make up for the mistake he had just made through this incident.

"No need... I don't want to make too much noise. I just want to go in and get Atalanta out. Brother, you've been tired lately, so go back and have a good rest."

Jason smiled at Theseus, but this smile was obviously much more unfamiliar than it was three years ago.

Although the fault was not entirely on Theseus, and Theseus had indeed not thought of doing anything to Persephone, Queen of the Underworld, Theseus was clearly also responsible.

Jason had his own plans when he approached him, and now Jason had brought him out of the underworld, which made up for his plan. He also wanted to thank him for coming to tell him about Atalanta.

Theseus noticed Jason's alienation from him, which made him look a little sad, but he knew that it was indeed his fault. Jason gave him the invitation out of trust in him, and Persephone was also his sister...

Therefore, Theseus left in a state of dismay.

After Theseus left, Jason turned his attention to Cerberus and said to her with a smile, "How do you feel?"

"...I feel a little uncomfortable." Cerberus frowned and leaned closer to Jason.

"The sunlight is a little too bright for me..."

Hearing this, Jason ruffled her hair and said, "Are you happy then?"

Cerberus glanced at Jason, then looked at the bright world in front of him, sniffing the scent of grass, flowers and leaves with his nose moving slightly.

After a long moment, he nodded gently: "Yeah, it's okay."

As he spoke, a smile appeared on Cerberus' face again.

Obviously, she was actually very happy... It was just because she had just left the underworld that she was a little uncomfortable with everything in front of her, so she kept holding on to the corner of Jason's clothes and refused to let go.

"I see... By the way, Cerberus, do you remember the promise you made to me?"

Jason said this, looking at Cerberus with his eyes slightly shining.

"Agreement?" Cerberus was stunned and tilted his head to think for a while.

Then, a look of realization appeared...

So after a while, Cerberus, who had changed his clothes, walked out of the bushes and came to Jason.

In an instant, Jason's eyes lit up!

"You've actually prepared it so early... By the way, this dress is really hard to wear. Ten honey cakes a day, remember!"

Cerberus, wearing a black and white maid outfit, waved his little fist and said to Jason with his little fangs exposed.

Unfortunately, even Tianma, who was watching from the side, didn’t think this scene was fierce at all.

"No problem, no problem!"

Jason excitedly circled around Cerberus, looking at the miniature Hecate in front of him, who was wearing a maid outfit and black stockings.

The expression on his face at this moment is one of satisfaction!

"Oh, what a pity I don't have a camera, otherwise I would definitely take some photos! ...Oh, by the way, speaking of cameras, if I talk to Mr. Hephaestus about the principles, I should be able to make one soon."

"Camera?" Hecate blinked. "What's that?"

"It's a tool for capturing happy moments... Yeah, I should have brought a camera to the wedding, but I was so busy I forgot!"

Jason patted his head and muttered, "It's okay, it's okay. Sister Persephone and brother-in-law Hades don't know anyway... Well, no one will know unless I tell them!"

As Jason looked at the lovely Cerberus in front of him, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand to pinch her face, but just as he did, she bit him back!

"Have you truly forgotten who I am? I am the great three-headed hellhound, Cerberus..."

Before Cerberus could finish her words with her eyes wide open, Jason pulled his hand out and stuffed the honey cake directly into her mouth.

So Cerberus stopped talking, and Jason happily pinched her little face...

"Well, my young master, this scene... why do I feel so familiar?" Tianma looked at Jason strangely.

"Look familiar? ...How is that possible? You're overthinking it."

Jason said as he took out a piece of grass cake and threw it to Pegasus.

Pegasus jumped up and caught it skillfully...

So, with the ferocious three-headed dog of hell in his arms and riding on the holy Pegasus, Jason headed towards the labyrinth of Minos.

Three honey cakes, for Jason to hug... I have to say, Cerberus' happiness is really a bit cheap.

"By the way, Jason."

"Hmm?" Holding the soft little puppy and little loli in his arms, Jason replied to her comfortably.

"This is a maid's dress. It's not a problem for me to wear it, but don't even think about letting the goddess Hecate wear it."

"...You, what are you talking about." Jason's smile seemed a little stiff at this moment.

"You really think I'm stupid... Have you really forgotten that I have three heads?"

Hearing this, Jason's eyes widened slightly, and it was obvious that he had indeed looked.

That’s right, Cerberus knew Jason’s little plan. After all, one of her three heads was quite smart.

But what does it matter?

Because all three heads like to eat honey cakes.

In the legend about Cerberus, the people from the underworld bribed them with a piece of honey cake, letting the three of them fight for the honey cake, so that they could take the opportunity to sneak into the underworld.

"Well, I never thought of letting Teacher Hecate wear these clothes..."

"I smell a lie... and you wouldn't even dare let me dress like that in the underworld, and you still say you don't think that!"

"...Speak now, speak now, and seal your mouth with a few honey cakes!"

Jason finally gave in.

Chapter 3: Atalanta, long time no see (k)

Two days later,

Outside the Labyrinth of Minos on the island of Crete.

"It seems like this is it."

The hero, dressed in white and riding on a holy Pegasus, put away the guide given to him by Athena and looked at the guarded labyrinth below.

"Cerberus, will you come in with me?"

Jason lowered his head and looked at the little loli with black hair and red eyes in his arms.

And this little loli is wearing black stockings and a maid outfit... When I think about her true form being Cerberus, the three-headed dog of hell, I can only say that the contrast is quite big.

"If you don't want to go in, I'll let Tianma show you around. After all, you've adapted to the human world now."

Cerberus heard Jason's words and shook his head. "No, Hecate and Hades have told me that I can come out with you, but I can't leave your side. Otherwise, I won't be allowed to come out with you."

Hearing her words, Jason was not very surprised. After all, Cerberus was the three-headed dog of hell. It would be strange if there were no restrictions.

It should be said that as a hellhound, she was able to follow Jason to the human world to play, which was already the result of her privileges being pushed to the limit...

"In that case, let's go."

As Jason spoke, he took out his staff, used the invisibility magic with great skill, took Cerberus' hand, and quietly slipped her into the labyrinth.

According to the legend, Theseus was able to solve the maze by leaving one end of a rope outside before entering, thus finding his way back.

Jason did not do so, but this was certainly not because he had become arrogant because of his recent strength, but simply because he felt that doing so was too inefficient.

Not long after Jason entered the maze, he lightly tapped the entrance of the maze illuminated by a torch, and a dancing butterfly flew out.

Pluto is Hecate's familiar. It has always protected Jason, and it is even thanks to it that Jason can move freely in the underworld.

And because it was Hecate's familiar, Jason would not have been able to control or use it unless Hecate gave him the right.

But recently, Jason received a great gift from Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, which is the ability to listen to the sounds of all things...

So everything fell into place.

Naturally, the Hades butterflies would not reject Jason. After all, over the years, they had become familiar with Jason's smell and knew that Jason was an absolutely important person to their mistress, Hecate.

Not long after entering the maze, it gradually became dark inside, so Jason had to take out a glass lamp to illuminate.

The light illuminated the dark maze, but also revealed the location of Jason and Cerberus.

"Cerberus, can you walk in the dark?"

"Okay...but why don't you use the lamp?" Cerberus looked puzzled as he saw Jason extinguishing the lamp after hearing his words.

"Of course, that's to avoid being discovered by the monster in here?" Jason replied as a matter of course.

"Discovered? ...So what if I'm discovered? I can just eat it, right? Don't you think I can't defeat it?"

"That's not the case. It's just that we don't need to fight it... and sometimes, even if you can defeat the enemy, you can't fight, you know?"

Jason spoke to Cerberus earnestly.

"Why?"

"Because the other party might have a very powerful backer. Take me for example, do you dare to hit me?"

"I dare!" Cerberus replied immediately.

"...Aren't you afraid that Teacher Hecate will cause trouble for you later?" Jason's forehead was filled with a few black lines.

"Don't be afraid, because Goddess Hecate definitely won't care... As long as I don't eat you, Goddess Hecate will probably encourage me to beat you up more!"

...If you say that, we can't continue the conversation today.

"Well, in short, that's the truth." Jason stiffly rounded up the words. After all, the most infuriating thing was that he couldn't refute it.

"Of course I believe you can defeat him, Cerberus. But think about it, what if he's the child of Poseidon, the Sea God? What if you eat him and he blames you?"

Jason hinted at something...almost pointed it out.

Before he came, as was his usual character, he naturally asked Theseus a series of questions about the maze and the monsters in the maze.

Although Theseus's words were vague, as he was only hearing it from hearsay after all, he still provided some useful information.

Jason deduced from the information that this matter was related to Poseidon, the god of the sea, so he naturally had no intention of killing Asterios.

It was okay for Theseus to kill him, probably because he was also Poseidon's son.

Therefore, as long as Asterios does not come to seek death, Jason naturally has no intention of getting rid of Asterios.

To be precise, even if Jason didn't know Asterios' background, Jason, who normally didn't want to get involved, wouldn't think of killing him.

After all, he never considered himself a hero.

Just as Cerberus heard Jason's words and felt that they made some sense, he nodded.
