Atalanta still remembered these words.

So, looking at the flower Jason handed her, then looking at the young man in front of her, after a moment of silent silence, she lowered her head slightly and took the flower...

"Well, it looks like this guy is finally not going to be stubborn with me anymore!"

Seeing this, Jason secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Atalanta's condition suddenly improved in the past two days. Although Jason didn't quite understand why, he believed that it was better to have one more friend than one more enemy. Jason, who was very good at reading the atmosphere, naturally knew what to do.

After taking the flower and playing with it in her hand, Atalanta silently followed Jason and left the place.

Not long after they left, the nymphs who could no longer hold back rushed out and fought for the lilies in this small area.

Even for this, a fight broke out...

If Jason could see this scene with his own eyes, he would probably understand how hard he had exerted himself last night.

Chapter 3: The most difficult and easiest goddess to deal with! (4/)

There is one week left until the appointment with Athena.

Now, there are only two days left.

It also takes a whole day to hunt the Calydonian wild boar...but it's not Jason's fault.

Because during this week, Jason did not slack off.

The monster Chimera that was killed after encountering Hestia left behind the name of the hero Hercules.

He met Antaeus, the son of Poseidon, the god of the sea, by chance. With the help of Hermes, he defeated him, broke his hands and feet, and threw him into the sea.

At the same time, relying on the information given by Hermes, he dedicated "romance" to Artemis, which caused a great commotion.

In just five days, Jason's actions were enough to leave anyone who knew about it dumbfounded.

However, precisely because there are only two days, therefore...

"You said you were going to leave immediately after hunting the Calydonian Boar tonight?"

In the afternoon,

In a room in the palace of the Kingdom of Calydon, Atalanta frowned when she heard Jason explain this to Hercules.

"Yes." Hercules nodded and said to Jason, "Brother Jason, aren't you a little too hasty? Didn't we agree to celebrate together?"

"I want to, too, Brother Hercules." Jason sighed and said, "But I only have two days... I must make sure I see the great craftsman god Hephaestus at sunset tomorrow.

This is the oracle given to me by Athena, the goddess of wisdom."

Hearing this, Hercules knew it was an oracle and could only give up with regret.

"Don't worry, Brother Hercules. Sooner or later, we will meet again. The wise gods will guide us to meet again."

"...Why, you suddenly want to meet us?"

The tall Hercules smiled and said, "You keep saying you don't want to be a hero, but didn't you also say you didn't want to meet us easily?"

"Time has changed... There's no point in trying to avoid something you can't avoid. It's more effective to calm down and think about how to deal with it."

Jason smiled faintly, hesitated for a while, and looked at Atalanta.

Atalanta understood the meaning of Jason's eyes, raised her eyebrows for a moment, and then walked out.

"You and her...seem to have a very good relationship."

Seeing this, Hercules couldn't help but say to Jason.

"No, it's just that Goddess Artemis takes good care of me, so she is a little less repulsive to me."

"Oh? So...what do you think of her?"

"Hmm?" Jason stared at Hercules for a moment. After figuring out what he wanted to ask, Jason was speechless and waved his hands. "No, no, it's impossible for her and me to be together. Besides, she was very upset with me a few days ago!"

"......real?"

"Yes!" Jason answered readily, adding, "And for the time being, I will definitely not consider this matter!"

Even if Jason were to consider love now, he would have to wait until he became immortal.

And even if he became immortal, Jason would still have to think carefully about a woman as beautiful (and dangerous) as Atalanta.

After all, this world is Greece, and the main god is Zeus.

Jason didn't want to have a touch of green on his head one day.

And you have to raise a demigod!

Hercules looked directly at Jason and realized that what Jason said was not a lie. He hesitated for a while, and finally said hesitantly: "Then you also know that Meleager has taken a fancy to her, right?

If you really don't know her, why not...?"

"Stop, Brother!"

Jason stopped and said to Hercules seriously, "Brother, although Brother Meleager has always taken good care of me and I really want to repay him, this is the only exception!

Atalanta is the most devoted follower of the goddess Artemis, so I cannot interfere in this matter!"

Hearing this, Hercules saw that Jason was not serious at all, so he naturally did not mention the matter again.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Hercules, I actually have something to discuss with you. You know I'm quite familiar with some great gods, and my teacher is the goddess Hecate, so I know a little bit about you and the great Queen Hera... I hope you can take this seriously, brother.

And if you pass by Lycia someday and hear some rumors, I hope you won’t be too surprised…”

The Twelve Trials of Hercules were caused by Hera, the Queen of Heaven, and a tragedy occurred before the Twelve Trials.

Hercules, who had originally had a family, went mad and killed his wife and daughter.

The culprit behind all this is also the Queen Hera...

Jason was unable to intervene in this matter directly, so he could only express his opinion to Hercules indirectly.

He also told Hercules to contact Athena, the goddess of wisdom, more often, and Athena would be very happy to help him.

After all, among the many heroes admired by Athena, Hercules is definitely one of the best.

After leaving a slight impression on Hercules, Jason stopped there.

Jason actually didn't want to touch upon such things that would cause him trouble and be affected by cause and effect.

But after all these years, and having received so much care from them, Jason naturally could not be cold-blooded.

......

......

So time passed,

Time passed quickly and it was evening.

As night fell, it was still a full moon night. As the bright moonlight shone on the earth, a grand dinner was held in the Kingdom of Calydon.

After the dinner is over, the warriors who gathered from all around to participate in the dinner will raise their weapons and go to fight the wild boar of Calydon!

However, not all heroes attended the dinner, including Jason and Atalanta.

"Aren't you going?" Jason, who was feeding the Pegasus in the stable, asked Atalanta in confusion.

"I am a follower of Artemis and only eat the prey I have killed myself," Atalanta explained simply.

"Oh..." Upon hearing this, Jason couldn't help but remember that he seemed to have fed her yesterday morning.

It seems that this guy really likes apples.

"Chirp—!"

Pegasus urged Jason on.

"there is none left!"

Jason rolled his eyes and said, "And I'm not saying anything, but you've been eating a lot lately, Brother Ma. If you keep eating, be careful or you won't be able to fly one day!"

"Then what do you want from me?" After complaining about Pegasus, Jason looked at Atalanta in confusion.

"Come to think of it...it seems like you've been following me all day."

Hearing this, Atalanta was stunned for a moment. After thinking for a while, she said, "It's more comfortable to be with you."

"Huh?" Jason blinked.

"They were all so savage... and some of them had eyes I wanted to dig out."

You should have told me earlier. I thought I had conquered you without realizing it. I was scared to death.

"And... Lady Artemis actually told me that my perception of you was wrong and asked me to use my own eyes to see you again."

"Then do you recognize it?" Hearing this, Jason asked with a little curiosity.

"...Before that, I have a question in my mind. I hope you can answer it seriously."

At this point, Atalanta looked at Jason with a sharp gaze and said, "I need an explanation for your attitude towards me when we first met three years ago!"

"You still remember?" Jason seemed a little embarrassed.

Atalanta said nothing.

Nonsense, it was the first time that Atalanta encountered someone who disliked her so much, and the most important thing was that this person had a good relationship with Artemis!

If not, Atalanta would not have remembered Jason for so long.

"If I tell you the reason, then we can be considered... reconciled?"

After saying this tentatively, Jason continued without waiting for Atalanta to turn around: "But the reason is actually very simple. The main reason is that Atalanta, you are really... too beautiful."

"...Huh?" Atalanta was stunned.

"Indeed," Jason replied, "you are very beautiful."

"...I'm too beautiful, so you dislike me?" Atalanta looked at Jason with wide eyes, obviously thinking that this answer was too outrageous.

But what was even more outrageous was that she discovered that Jason didn't seem to be lying!

"Yeah." Jason nodded honestly. "Because it's very troublesome. Atalanta, you just said it yourself. You really want to dig out many people's eyes. Do you understand that beautiful women are the root of trouble? That's the truth!"

Atalanta didn't know how to respond to Jason's words for a long time, and the Pegasus beside her couldn't help but chirp.

And she looked at Jason with a look that said, "As expected of you!"

"Are you serious?" Atalanta asked finally.

"real!"

Looking at Jason nodding to her seriously, Atalanta remained silent.

And how to say it...After finally learning the truth, Atalanta found that she seemed to be a little happy now.

And at this moment...

"Oh yeah."

Hermes, a blond god wearing a feather hat and short sleeves, suddenly stepped out from the shadows, looked at the two of them, and said with a smile, "Isn't it possible that I'm here at the wrong time?"

...Hermes?!

Jason's eyelids twitched.

Why is it you again!

"Master Hermes, what can I do for you?" Jason said cautiously, "As you know, I'm about to participate in the hunt for the Calydonian boar, and I was about to appear before Hephaestus, the god of craftsmen, last night.

I only have the last two days left!"

The subtext of this sentence is obviously: I'm very busy, please go away!

"Yeah, I know, that's why I came."

Hermes held down his hat and said to Jason with a smile, "And don't worry, little Jason. It was Athena who asked me to come to you this time."

"Lady Athena?" Jason breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. "Then may I ask, Lord Hermes, what does Lady Athena want to talk to me about?"

"First of all, Athena congratulates you for offering a nearly perfect tribute to Artemis, the moon goddess who is both the easiest and the most difficult to deal with... Speaking of which, little Jason, your tribute is truly exaggerated.

I'm kind of regretting this now. Can Io's promise be waived?"

Hermes said that if Jason could deal with the Io incident, it would be a tribute to him.
