"Nothing." Chiron smiled but said nothing.

It's funny that you always claim that you don't get along with Athena, but you still help her secretly.

"I didn't help her... I was just teaching the students."

Chiron said nothing, but Hecate knew what he was laughing at.

"I see... When I saw you meet Hera and tell her about Jason's child's fate, I actually guessed a little bit... But, isn't this a bit too hasty?"

"Since you are his teacher, you should understand that as a teacher you can't just blindly protect him. Sometimes you should let him learn to shoulder the burden on his own."

Chiron couldn't help but laugh again when he heard this, and said, "That being said, you must have left a lot of things on the Argo..."

After saying this, Chiron saw that Hecate was silent, but he also noticed that the air here had become a little colder. He felt that he had said something wrong, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Well... But then again, this time is actually very dangerous.

And you decided not to go out anymore, leaving everything to him to handle on his own, and you don’t know if he can succeed…”

Chiron said, a look of deep worry in his eyes.

"It's because there are too many people like you and you are too doting on him that I made this decision this time!" Hecate glared at Chiron.

Chiron's mouth twitched, as if he wanted to say something, but finally gave up.

When it comes to pampering, you have no right to criticize others...

"And don't worry. As one of his teachers, you should know exactly what kind of person he is... In fact, from the beginning to the end, he didn't need our protection. Our excessive care would only be a constraint for him."

"only......"

As she spoke, Hecate's mouth corners suddenly turned up, and she said, "I'm very curious, when that kid tells Athena that he actually hates her, what kind of expression will that guy show!"

......

......

Although Jason's reluctance to become a hero was not known to everyone, it was generally known to those who had been in contact with him for a period of time.

Hercules's brothers, Atalanta, and the goddess Hestia in front of him.

Jason never concealed anything about this.

"Goddess Hestia, please allow me to correct my previous statement..."

Therefore, with Hestia's arrival, Jason gradually regained his composure after a brief period of confusion and said to Hestia: "I don't hate Athena, and I'm not angry with her, but at the same time I am angry... I'm just angry with myself."

"Are you mad at yourself? ....Why?"

This was the truth, so Hestia looked at Jason even more puzzled.

Jason didn't answer. After a brief silence, he slowly exhaled and sincerely thanked Hestia, "Thank you, Goddess Hestia. I now know what I should do."

???

Hestia looked at Jason blankly.

Is this topic jumping around a bit too quickly?

But before Hestia could continue asking.

"Goddess Hestia, please can you do me a favor?"

Jason looked at Hestia seriously and whispered to her, "Could you please tell the great goddess Athena that I can...see her?"

In response to Jason's request, although Hestia didn't know what was going on, after staring into Jason's eyes quietly for a while, Hestia finally... nodded.

Although she didn't quite understand, Hestia chose to believe Jason at this moment.

After all, under her gaze, Jason's eyes were still so clear and flawless.

Then, after the goddess Hestia and Pegasus left, Atalanta followed Jason silently, and the two walked in the forest for a while.

"Actually, I've noticed something's wrong a long time ago."

Atalanta suddenly said, "There's something wrong with your situation... but you didn't seem to want to talk about it, so I never asked."

"...Is it that obvious?"

"The road ahead of you is not lost, but you...haven't taken any action yet." Atalanta said to Jason calmly, "That's not like you at all.

Just like that rainstorm a few days ago, if it were you in the past, you would never have stopped the Argo, letting the storm carry us in an unknown direction...even if you knew it was the work of the gods!

Jason was silent for a while after hearing this, and then he said, "I was just thinking about things... I have to say, it was not until now that I deeply understood that I had always been so lucky.

I have always been under the protection of Teacher Hecate."

"You are Hecate's child. Isn't it normal for her to protect you?" Atalanta looked at Jason in confusion.

Jason shook his head slightly, then said, "This time it's a tribute to the goddess Athena. I know she hopes that I can take this opportunity to become a true hero. I also understand the true meaning of her asking the goddess Hera to pay attention to me.

She was asking me to reveal myself to the goddess Hera, so that she would fall in love with me once again... as Jason."

"Since you know everything, why haven't you taken any action?"

Atalanta frowned at Jason.

This is so strange and so un-Jason.

No matter what happens, he will never sit and wait for death. That is the real Jason!

"Because I'm not a hero... A hero is fearless and moves forward courageously, but I'm not."

Jason chuckled and said, "I've been thinking, what if I make a mistake? How can I ensure that Goddess Hera will fall in love with me again? How can I offer tribute to Goddess Athena...?"

For this reason, I haven't slept once since I got on the ship.

Even when the storm came, I was actually a little happy and let the Argo drift in the sea.

Because this time, my teacher, the goddess Hecate, told me that she would not accompany me, and the goddess Athena did not give me the oracle because of the tribute. "

"......coward!"

Atalanta understood at this point and spoke to Jason bluntly.

Jason shrugged and smiled at Atalanta, "Why, are you disillusioned with me?"

"No... because I never had any illusions about you." Atalanta rolled her eyes at Jason and said, "I've always known you were a coward. After all, you didn't even have the courage to approach me back then!"

"but......"

"You may be a complete coward, but you are indeed a hero. The most handsome and powerful hero I know!"

Atalanta tucked up a strand of black hair by her ear, and with a slightly sideways glance at Jason, who was slightly stunned, she said, “It doesn’t matter whether you are Jason or the white-robed Hercules, you have to understand that you have already been a hero.

Because it was you who killed the wild boar of Calydon, it was you who killed the monster Chimera that desolated the earth, it was you who killed the Sphinx with a lion's body and a human face, and it was you who killed the giant Argus with a hundred eyes!

This is just what I know. In areas that I don’t know, I understand you must have done much more.

therefore......"

As she spoke, Atalanta came to Jason's side and patted him hard on the back.

"What are you doing? I've been waiting for a long time!"

"...Atalanta."

"what."

"Thank you for coming."

......

......

Silent night,

It's a good time for a tryst.

Athena, a beautiful goddess dressed in white, quietly came to the Argo.

She had a beautiful smile on her face and seemed to be in a very good mood.

After all, this is a rare and proactive invitation from Jason!

Although I don't know why Hestia came to find me...but it doesn't matter anymore!

She came to Jason's room.

Looking at Jason, who was sitting at the table with a pen in his hand, frowning and wondering what he was thinking, he quietly came up behind him, covered his eyes, and said with a smile: "Little Jason, guess who I am."

Jason froze for a moment, then reluctantly replied, "I think it must be the great, beautiful, and wise goddess Athena!"

After he finished speaking, Jason could still hear the sound of silver bells' laughter.

At the same time, Athena's hands were released and she gently pinched her face.

"Little Jason is so sweet, and still so sweet... What's the matter with calling me here? Do you want to sleep with me tonight?"

Athena teased Jason as usual.

Upon hearing this, Jason turned sideways and looked at Athena who was sitting on the bed with a smile on her face, his expression showing helplessness.

Instead of answering her question, he said to Athena, "Goddess Athena, may I borrow something from you? ...Excuse me, may I borrow the harp that I once gave you?"

Hearing this, Athena looked at Jason in surprise for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course!"

Athena said, taking out the silver harp.

"Hey, Goddess Athena, this harp..."

Jason took the harp and looked at the cracks all over it, and couldn't help but be stunned.

The next second, Athena quickly surpassed the harp, injected divine power into it, and then pretended nothing had happened and returned it to Jason.

And continued to show Jason an extremely bright smile.

Jason blinked and shut his mouth obediently and sensibly, as he was about to ask.

"Goddess Athena, can we get out?"

"Of course... Don't worry, Hera won't know. I asked Hestia to help!... But why is Hestia so easy to talk to today?"

Athena said, unable to help but mutter a few words.

So Jason and Athena came onto the deck.

The night sea breeze blew on the two of them.

At this moment, there is only one person, one god and a boat full of spirits on the boat.

Atalanta and Hephaestus had already left.

On the white Argo, Jason, who had been dressed in white from the beginning, held a silver harp and played sweet music to Athena.

The meaning of the sound of the piano is gratitude.

Thank you Athena for everything you have done for me so far.

This made Athena's eyes soften after a brief moment of daze as she listened to the music.

The song doesn’t last long.

Jason stopped playing, looked at Athena, and bowed deeply, saying, "Thank you, great goddess Athena... Until now, I have never properly thanked you, but in my heart, I have always been grateful for your help and will always remember it!"

"Ah."

Athena, who heard Jason's gratitude from the sound of the piano, responded, and when she was about to go forward and hug Jason and love him tenderly, she smiled.

"...Therefore, this time I will do my best to offer my tribute to you, Goddess Athena."

"I will be like a hero, a fearless hero, completing every challenge I encounter on this journey. I will not shy away from it, but will face it head-on. I will become the hero that best fits your heart, Goddess Athena!"

"Uh-huh......"

Athena stopped and looked at Jason with some confusion.

"I will no longer avoid or hesitate regarding the matter of Queen Hera. I will face it head-on and do my best to resolve it!"

"So is the matter of my sister Medea."

"So is my own destiny."

......Huh?

Athena looked at Jason, who was making a promise to her with an extremely serious expression.

"Goddess Athena, I will do all of this, so please rest assured... I will offer you tribute and do my best!"

...Something's wrong, something's wrong!
