Humans in Type-Moon, Path of the Heroic Spirit

Chapter 106 Kamiya Yu: Something's not right with your Greece!

"Girls' emotions are as fickle as the terrible weather in London; you can never figure out what they're thinking..."

Walking along the forest path leading to the mountaintop, Kamiya Yu suddenly remembered a friend saying something to him when he was studying at the Clock Tower.

He didn't quite understand the meaning at the time, but now he feels it deeply in Sasha's case.

She had just refused my offer to take her back to Athens, but not long after, she suddenly changed her tune—demanding that I promise to go back to Athens to see her after I've done what I want to do.

What, if I don't agree, do you, Sasha, want to beat me to my knees and then drag me back to Athens to be a star slave?
Ha, woman, do you think I'm the kind of person who gets confessions through torture?

Upon seeing Sasha's gentle smile, Kamiya Yu felt a chill run down his spine and immediately agreed to her request.

Of course, this is definitely not because I'm a coward; it's just that Athens has beautiful scenery, and I want to go back and see it!

Thinking this, Kamiya Yu, who was originally a bit depressed, suddenly felt refreshed, and the unchanging scenery around him became pleasing to the eye.

On the other side, Sasha, who had received the promise from him, was humming an unknown tune, her beautiful eyebrows curved like crescent moons, and she looked to be in a good mood.

'Hmph~ Once I've settled things in Olympus, I'll have plenty of time. Then I'll definitely sneak him back to Athens, and then…'

As if recalling some pleasant images, Sasha's lips curled up slightly, and a hint of anticipation flashed in her pale golden eyes.

Although she would be separated from Kamiya Yu for a while starting today, she could still bear the loneliness.

However, Artemis, whom Sasha had encountered earlier, gave her a warning: there were quite a few gods who would be eyeing Kratos, and she had to keep a close eye on him.

Otherwise, you wouldn't even know if a cat steals your fish one day.

"—?!"

Just as Athena was dreaming about the future, Kamiya Yu suddenly shivered. He first silently looked around and breathed a sigh of relief after finding no strange creatures or anything unusual nearby.

"I guess I was just too nervous."

Thinking this, Kamiya Yu raised his head and looked ahead, where a magnificent palace cast in bronze came into view.

"We've finally arrived at the temple of Hephaestus, the god of fire..."

Gazing at the bronze palace in the distance, from which came the crisp sound of knocking, Kamiya Yu clenched his fists, a look of excitement appearing on his handsome face. After all this journey, he had finally arrived at his destination.

"Kratos, wait a minute—"

However, Sasha, who was beside him, seemed to have seen something that shouldn't be there and anxiously tried to make Kamiya Yu stop.

Unfortunately, it was too late. A bright red figure suddenly appeared before them. It was a tall girl with red hair and blue eyes, wearing bright red armor and a battle skirt.

"Humans? What are you doing here?"

After casually glancing at Kamiya Yu and Sasha a few times, the Crimson Girl snorted coldly and then impatiently questioned them.

Who are you?
Upon seeing the strange girl who had suddenly appeared, Kamiya Yu was taken aback for a moment, then frowned slightly. He could feel the terrifying divinity and pressure emanating from the girl.

Without a doubt, the red-haired girl standing before him was a powerful deity, but he had no recollection of her. Wait… red hair, crimson armor, and a rude personality—where have I seen this combination before?

'Why is Ares at Hephaestus's temple?!'

On the other side, Sasha... no, Athena recognized her identity the moment she saw the red-haired girl—Ares, the god of war who fought but never won, who was repeatedly defeated and humiliated by Hai Shu's rotten milk.

Although Sasha had never met Ares, based on the memories of her other self, she still had a strong impression of this violent woman who only liked fighting.

After all, who can forget a defeated opponent who went to great lengths to provoke them in order to satisfy their fighting spirit, only to be soundly beaten up by her?
"Hey! Human, answer my question!"

After a few seconds, seeing that Kamiya Yu did not respond, the Crimson Girl, feeling offended, glared at him unhappily, and her fierce divine power instantly spread outwards.

"Well--"

Feeling the overwhelming pressure, Sasha frowned slightly in displeasure. If she hadn't not yet fully mastered her powers and abilities, she would have already taught this impolite and violent woman a lesson.

'But Ares, just you wait, I'll teach you a lesson one day...'

Looking at the silver-haired boy who immediately shielded her from the divine power, Sasha felt a pang of heartache, while secretly thinking with some resentment.

"Lord Ares, please stop!"

Sensing that Kamiya Yu's aura was gradually weakening, Sasha, worried about his safety, quickly explained, "We are followers of Athena. We are visiting the temple of the God of Fire on Athena's orders to ask her to help forge a divine artifact."

"Athena? You think bringing up that woman will make me stop?"

Upon hearing her words, Ares's handsome face, full of heroic spirit, immediately turned cold. She pouted and said with a displeased expression, but in the end, she withdrew her surging divine power.

"Whoosh-"

After the powerful pressure receded like a tide, Kamiya Yu's chest heaved violently, and fine beads of sweat covered his pale face.

"Is this the power of a high-ranking god? Just his divine might alone forced me to defend with all my might..."

Staring intently at the red-haired girl before him, Kamiya Yu clenched his fists in frustration. Although he knew he was far inferior to a high-ranking god, he hadn't expected that the mere pressure emanating from her would render him immobile.

This seemingly insurmountable gap caused him to feel a strong sense of frustration.

In fact, Kamiya Yu had a vague idea of ​​the power of the higher gods, but due to the negative influence of the evil of this world, coupled with his easy defeat of Atalanta, he became a little arrogant.

Today's experience has undoubtedly taught him a profound lesson.

"I will never be arrogant or complacent until I am strong enough."

As Kamiya Yu adjusted his mindset, he gritted his teeth and silently made a vow.

To be honest, given his age and background, he already possesses power comparable to a lower-level god—a condition that would make anyone else even more arrogant and conceited than Kamiya Yu.
