Jason coughed lightly, unable to refute for a moment.

"What happened?...If you want to say it." Atalanta stared at Jason.

"...I say, is it really that obvious?"

Jason was helpless.

"Well, it's obvious." Atalanta said lightly.

You can't say it's not obvious, after all, even she noticed it.

Jason was silent for a while: "Actually... it's nothing."

"But since you asked, I'll tell you... After all, I'm just a little tired."

"Tired?" Atalanta looked at Jason in confusion.

"Hmm... I'm tired and want to rest for a while... Although I know the schedule is tight and if I continue to slack off, something big might happen, but... I don't know why."

Jason smiled bitterly and said, "The more it is now, the more I want to rest. I even feel...

Well, even if we get discovered, it doesn’t seem like a big deal.”

Atalanta looked at Jason who was speaking softly, her brows furrowed deeply.

Although Jason's expression was very calm and there was no sign of anything unusual, she didn't know what Jason was referring to.

But his condition was obviously not right, and Atalanta knew it very well.

Then Atalanta fell silent.

Then continue asking questions?

Jason's words were vague, so Atalanta knew that even if she continued to ask, Jason would not tell him.

Then pretend that you didn't notice anything and continue to remain silent?

If that were possible, Atalanta would not have asked.

So...if the goddess Artemis were here at this time, what would she do?

Atalanta had this thought and soon got an answer.

Then Atalanta's body couldn't help but stiffen slightly.

"It's okay, don't worry." Jason saw that Atalanta was silent, so he comforted her: "I'm really fine. I accept your concern, but you don't need to care..."

"You want to rest, right?"

Atalanta suddenly interrupted Jason, gritted her teeth slightly, as if she had made some decision, and looked at Jason and said.

"Uh-huh......"

Looking at Atalanta who seemed to have made a great decision, Jason was shocked by her aura and nodded in response subconsciously.

"Then... come on."

Atalanta sat up and motioned Jason to lie down...

"......Eh?"

"Aren't you tired? This is how you usually rest, right?"

Atalanta raised her voice and said to Jason, "Then why are you still hesitating... Although I am not the great goddess Artemis, you should stop being picky and just accept it!"

Hearing Atalanta's menacing words, Jason looked at her, her face barely flushed in the light of the fire nearby...

"Then I will respectfully obey your orders?"

Jason came to his senses and finally couldn't help laughing.

Chapter 3: Atalanta's Tenderness (k)

"...Hey, I can see you."

Jason, lying on his soft legs, looked up at Atalanta and said something rude.

This made Atalanta subconsciously reach out and pinch his cheek hard.

"Why are you pinching me?"

"I feel like you're saying bad things about me."

"No, I really didn't." Jason grinned evilly, which made Atalanta frown and pinch his face a little harder.

If Cerberus were here, he would definitely add that this is a lie!

Yes, it is a lie.

After all, as goddesses, each of them has a perfect figure, so when Jason lies down, you can't see his face, only his heart.

In the ancient forest under the silent night sky, the breeze blows gently.

By the fire, Atalanta reached out and lifted up a strand of her drooping light yellow hair. The faint fragrance made Jason's nose move subconsciously.

Just like that, after a period of silent silence...

"strangeness."

"Hmm?" Atalanta looked at Jason who was muttering, and said, "What's wrong again?"

For some reason, Atalanta's voice was very soft at this time.

"It's not that..." Jason originally wanted to say a few words to change the subject, but under the gaze of Atalanta's holy blue eyes.

Jason lowered his head slightly and finally said, "It just feels like... I really seem to have become strange."

"Hmm?" Atalanta tilted her head slightly.

"I've actually calmed down now..."

Atalanta was stunned for a moment, and then looking at Jason, whose gaze became evasive and seemed embarrassed, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly.

"Then do you want me to pat your head and lull you to sleep?"

"No, no, that would be too embarrassing!"

"You have slept with so many great goddesses, what is there to be ashamed of?" Atalanta curled her lips.

Jason opened his mouth to retort, but after rolling his eyes, he closed them again.

Because he realized that no matter how he discussed this topic, he would definitely be in the wrong, so he simply stopped talking about it.

After some time...

"Atalanta, remember I told you I didn't want to be a hero at all."

"Well, you've mentioned it many times... But congratulations, you are now the most famous hero in the entire world."

"No, that's Hercules, not me!"

Atalanta looked Jason over and said, "You are dressed in white, with a face as handsome as Apollo, the god of light, and you ride a Pegasus like a hero descended from the stars... Anyone who sees you will know that the so-called Hercules is you, right?"

"But actually, no, because apart from my fellow apprentices, very few people know me. Atalanta, you are special... By the way, what you just said, can I understand that you are praising my handsomeness?"

Atalanta rolled her eyes but didn't protest.

After all, apart from anything else, Jason is indeed quite handsome.

"How does it feel to be the most famous hero?"

"It's terrible... and that's not the most important thing. As you said, I'm very busy. I'm so busy that I don't even have time to rest. To be more precise, many times I don't even dare to rest.

I can only keep myself busy and stop thinking about all those messy things, so that I can feel at ease.

So this time...I was really sleepy, so I just lay down and slept without caring about anything."

Hearing Jason's pointed and disastrous remarks, Atalanta's expression gradually grew serious. "What... happened?"

"...Atalanta, as you can see, I'm just an ordinary human, right? I don't want to be a hero that everyone admires, nor do I want to do anything earth-shattering. I just want to live a little easier.

But recently I found that I was getting further and further away from a relaxed life. I was unknowingly involved in all kinds of troubles, and when I found out, I couldn’t get out of it anymore…”

"In short, you want to escape, right?"

Jason was silent for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "Well, I want to escape."

"Then run away."

"......Huh?" Jason, who had never expected Atalanta to answer like that, looked at her in amazement.

"I've known for a long time that you're a coward... Remember four years ago? You looked at me and ran away."

When Jason met Atalanta for the first time, he tried to escape after knowing that she was Atalanta, but he failed and was caught up by Atalanta.

The ill-fated relationship between the two of them was also formed at that time.

"So, I never believed you would become the hero in white, because you've always been a coward... But because of this, I knew you would never run away."

"I won't run away?" Jason blinked.

"If you could have escaped, you would have already escaped. If you haven't escaped now, it means you won't escape. After all, you're not the type to procrastinate or hesitate!"

"...It turns out that you know me so well, Atalanta." Jason was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing.

"Well, because I've been watching you."

After she finished speaking, Atalanta suddenly felt that something was wrong with what she said. She subconsciously looked at Jason. Looking at his handsome face and emerald eyes, she felt a sudden panic in her heart. Then she hurriedly said, "This is mainly a task assigned to me by the moon goddess Artemis. It was she... yes, it was she who asked me to pay attention to you and let me understand what kind of person you are!"

"If Cerberus were here, she would say you're lying."

"Shut up, you babbler!"

Seeing that Atalanta's expression was becoming increasingly hostile, Jason shut up as he thought she might resort to physical violence if he continued teasing her.

Then Jason closed his eyes.

"...Atalanta."

"what!"

Like a wild cat about to explode, Atalanta was now very alert.

"Thank you."

Jason's voice at this moment had a sense of relief.

When Atalanta reacted and was about to answer, she found that Jason, who was lying on her legs, had fallen asleep...

Yes, just as Atalanta said, Jason has always been a coward. He hates trouble, so he always avoids it.

But when he determines that the trouble cannot be avoided, he will become very courageous. He will make a decision as quickly as possible and solve it as quickly as possible.

So he wouldn't hide...nor did he think about hiding.

But he was indeed a little tired, and he needed to talk.

And his teachers and goddesses were not good people to confide in... In the past, Jason always looked for the centaur Chiron.

Whenever he encountered problems, he would go to Chiron and complain to him.

However, in recent times, he obviously has no time to look for Chiron.

At this time, he met Atalanta. He had never thought of showing his weak side to Atalanta, but he did not expect that Atalanta could see it...

Atalanta now obviously knows Jason very well.

She knew more about what kind of person Jason was than any other god who had been watching him, and even better than the moon goddess Artemis.

In fact, it was thanks to me that I confided in her. Otherwise, when something is kept in my heart for too long, it will inevitably have a negative impact.

It may even influence the final outcome...

......

......

A few days later, on the morning of the day we were about to arrive at our destination.

"Wake up... wake up quickly, do you understand?"

Atalanta squeezed Jason, who was sleeping soundly on her lap.

At this moment, the bright sunshine shone on both of them. The night had long since retreated, and Cerberus had even hunted prey and prepared breakfast.

As for Jason, he opened his eyes, looked at Atalanta dazedly, yawned, and lay down again...
