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

Atalanta frowned, shook Jason off, and said, "No matter what, this is a blessing for you. After all, being watched by the great ones is something everyone, except you, sincerely hopes for!"

"Does this include you?"

Of course! ...If it were in the past, Atalanta would definitely answer like this.

But as Atalanta's friendship with Jason deepened and she learned more and more...

"I am the most loyal believer of Lady Artemis. All I need is Lady Artemis' love."

Seeing Atalanta's confident answer, Jason couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "I am still Teacher Hecate's beloved disciple. I just want to be loved by Teacher Hecate!"

The moment he finished speaking, Jason regretted it and wanted to slap himself.

Athena is on the top of the mountain at this moment. She dares to say this even though she knows the situation. She is really not afraid of death!

But fortunately, the sound of the piano coming from the top of the mountain remained unchanged.

Jason breathed a sigh of relief and came to the side of Phoebusis without hesitation.

"I didn't expect that I would have to do it myself. I wanted Senior Brother Hercules to do it... Um, Hercules... Is this retribution?"

When Jason came to Phoebusis's side, the boulder began to move slowly towards the top of the mountain under the push of the two of them. Not long after, this incident spread in the small town where this sport was held.

Soon, everyone put down what they were doing and gathered here.

Just as Jason said, every time the boulder was pushed, it obviously attracted the attention of the townspeople.

After all, that's why they gathered here.

No one has tried it for half a month, and now someone finally has the courage to do it. For them now... it's probably like a holiday.

"Who is that guy?"

"I don't know him, but he looks quite handsome..."

Facts have proved that no matter where you are, appearance is everything.

"Tsk, so what if he's handsome? With his tiny arms and legs, I reckon he'll be down in less than half a day!"

"That may not be the case... Didn't you notice the female hunter standing nearby?

Don't you think she looks familiar... That female hunter was the one who almost pushed the boulder to the highest point!"

The atmosphere below was getting more and more lively, with loud discussions, but this did not affect Jason in the slightest.

As he dragged the boulder, it rolled towards the top of the mountain little by little...

Chapter 3.5: The Eternal Name of a Hero (k)

It is actually not difficult to push the boulder to the top of the mountain.

Many people can do it, after all, there are many demigods.

The real difficulty is that when pushing the boulder to a certain height, you will encounter help from the power of gods.

After all, this was the punishment given to Phofsis by the gods.

It was only because of the bet between Jason and the second-generation queen of heaven Rhea that the nature of the punishment changed and it evolved into a sport to gain glory.

Even after Jason changed all this, the gods were not angry about it, but found it very interesting and regarded Sisyphus as a burden.

So even if Jason had not come, he would actually be liberated soon...these Greek gods no longer had any interest in him.

Jason knew this, so he did not ask Phoebus for help, but pushed the boulder to the top of the mountain alone.

Jason was not pushing very fast. To be precise, even Atalanta was much faster than him when she tried not long ago.

Therefore, many people believed that this young man would soon be exhausted.

But after several hours, when Jason reached the middle of the mountain, the discussions below could not help but increase again.

And at this time, Jason, looking down, could see that the boulder he pushed was surpassing the names engraved on the steep hillside one after another.

At the same time, he could also feel the gazes of the people below who were looking up at him.

"Crush your opponents one after another, and achieve supreme honor amid the cheers of the people."

Suddenly, Phoebus, who was beside Jason, spoke. He said to Jason with a hint of emotion: "Even though my punishment has ended today, this behavior will definitely be passed down.

The name engraved in this mountain will surely live on forever."

"Well... probably."

Jason replied calmly, without any awareness of being the main messenger.

“So far, I’ve met a lot of people since you left.

Joy, regret, reluctance, fear... Even the beautiful hunter beside you, unwillingly challenged for days, but only you... only you remain so special, just like you were back then."

Phophis watched Jason calmly walk up the mountain, step by step, and said with emotion, "Hercules, the hero in white, can you tell me why you have come this far and why you came to help me?"

"Until now, I have heard many stories about you. Your deeds have spread throughout the Greek mainland. You have accomplished one great feat after another that shocked the world. Your name has long been a household name.

But you don’t seem to care about these honors…”

"Well, I really don't mind at all."

Jason took over what Phoebus said and smiled at Phoebus, who was stunned by this: “Because I am not a hero, the hero in white, Hercules.

Fufusi, let me tell you something...and I hope you can keep this secret for me as a reward for saving you.

The name that will be engraved on the mountaintop... or perhaps it won't be engraved on the mountaintop is not Heracles in white, but Jason...

An unknown name called Jason.

And that is my real name."

The boulder was pushed higher and higher, and as time passed, the sun gradually set, amid the exclamations of the people below.

The nameless young man who was pushing the boulder not only showed no signs of stopping, but his speed... was getting faster and faster!

And when that boulder surpasses one name after another.

Even as they gradually approached the heroes that people talked about, the crowd below was finally moved and became noisy.

"who is he!"

"Does anyone, does anyone know him?!"

More and more people gathered and saw that the boulder had been pushed to two-thirds of its height. The barrier set up by the gods seemed to be useless in front of him.

When the names of heroes one after another were surpassed by Jason.

Who is he... Such doubts arose in the minds of everyone present!

No matter how they asked or how they searched, no one could get the answer.

Because no one knew him.

When he took off the white clothes and put down the honor of Hercules in white, the young man named Jason became an unknown existence.

"Oh right, hunter... where's that hunter named Atalanta? It seems that the hunter brought that person here. Where's she?!"

"Yes, I saw it too. She must know. Let's go ask her!"

Soon, someone reported it.

They began to look for the beautiful hunter lady in green clothes.

But at some point, Atalanta disappeared and left.

She walked out of the small town, and in the distance, her holy blue eyes watched Jason pushing the boulder to the top of the mountain.

a long time......

"Goodbye."

Atalanta turned around and did not continue to look into the distance, because she had already known the answer from the beginning.

No one can stop him; he will definitely reach the highest point.

"Chirp—!"

At this moment, Pegasus whinnied and brought a little girl with black hair and red eyes, Cerberus, to Atalanta.

"He's worried about you leaving alone."

Cerberus came to Atalanta and said to the slightly stunned Atalanta: "That's why you asked Pegasus and me to send you off, and also..."

Cerberus said nothing, and from her body, a beautiful dark butterfly flew out, danced around Atalanta, and landed in her white hand.

"...He knew I was going to leave?"

Atalanta stared at Cerberus.

Before Cerberus could answer, Atalanta smiled softly and said, "That's right, how could he not know?"

Atalanta said this and accepted the dark butterfly.

The dark butterfly turned into a faint blue light and sprinkled on Atalanta's beloved bow called the Bow of the Sky.

"Atalanta, why are you leaving?"

Cerberus' beautiful red eyes stared at Atalanta in confusion and said, "Jason doesn't seem to want you to leave?"

"He's gone this time...but I should go."

Atalanta's answer made Cerberus tilt his head in confusion.

Atalanta looked at her like this, then turned her head and looked at Jason in the distance. After a long while, she said, "No one can accompany him, at least not me, because I can't do anything by his side."

A fateful relationship made them meet and then separate.

At first, Atalanta couldn't understand it, but as they met more and more times, she witnessed more and more things about Jason.

Atalanta finally began to understand that she could not stay with him.

And she thought that there was probably no one in this world who could follow him, the hero in white.

Like dazzling stars falling from the sky...that's probably the distance between them.

"Really?" Cerberus obviously couldn't understand Atalanta's words. She said, "But Jason definitely doesn't think so, because he trusts you very much. When he is with you, he gives me the same feeling as when he is with the goddess Hecate.

He will definitely be very happy that you can stay by his side."

"That is not necessary, Lord Cerberus."

Atalanta shook her head and said to Cerberus, "And I don't want to be a burden to him... And most importantly, I know we will meet again. But next time... I hope that when I meet him, he will no longer be the hero in white."

Atalanta paused for a moment before continuing to say to Cerberus, "If there's ever a time when I can be by his side and go on adventures with him, it must be when he's not so tired anymore.

Let go, or complete everything you should do, this is no longer the time to be the hero in white.

And before that, no one can accompany him... All I can do is wait for him at his next stop."

...Ah, great goddess of the moon, Artemis, this should be the answer you asked me to find, right?

Atalanta said softly in her heart.

You actually don't know him at all. If you want to know the real him, get to know him more...Atalanta recalled the words from the moon goddess Artemis.

It was also because of this that she was able to see through Jason.

Even more insightful than Artemis.

Cerberus obviously couldn't understand Atalanta's answer.

But that's okay.

Atalanta mounted Pegasus and left under the escort of Cerberus.

Not long after they left, the sun began to set little by little, and soon it was sunset and dusk, and night was about to fall.

When the sky is filled with stars and the chariot of the sun god returns to the temple of the sun god Helios, it means that the time has come.

The boulder will fall directly from the highest point with unmatched force, and no hero will be able to stop it, for this is a punishment from the gods.

The same was true for Jason, so before that, he had to push the boulder up.

So by this time...

"Goodbye, Fufuxi."

Jason smiled at Phoebus, then pushed the boulder in his hand and began to run up the mountain.
