Humans in Type-Moon, Path of the Heroic Spirit

Chapter 97 This goddess, you don't even want your followers...

"Oh my gosh~ I never expected Athena to have such a cute smile~ You always seemed so cold before..."

Under a star-studded night sky, a delicate pavilion stands on the lakeside.

Artemis left the golden-horned stag and looked around at Athena, seemingly marveling at her transformation.

To be honest, she was quite startled when she recognized the silver-haired goddess in front of her as the Athena from her memories.

Not only did the other person's appearance and hair color change, but their personality and emotions also underwent a complete transformation.

Just looking at Athena's smiling face, Artemis felt a strange sense of unreality.

It's important to know that for thousands of years, her "sister" had remained as indifferent and silent as a machine.

And now she was showing rare human emotions, which instantly piqued Artemis's interest.

"So, can you tell me what exactly happened to you, Athena?"

Like an innocent child, Artemis affectionately took Athena's slender arm and, speaking in a curious voice, led her to sit down on a bench in the pavilion.

Athena's face showed a hint of discomfort at this intimate gesture, but considering the purpose of her visit to Artemis, she silently endured it.

Although Sasha inherited all her past memories from "Athena" after the fusion, she still felt uneasy when she actually faced these "brothers and sisters".

After all, before returning to her original form, she was just an ordinary priestess in Athens.

"Wait a moment... Artemis, I've come to see you today because I have something to ask of you..."

After hesitating for a moment, Athena gently raised her head, looked at the white-haired goddess sitting beside her, and spoke earnestly.

"Eh~ You want to ask me for a favor?" Artemis tilted her head, gave her a strange look, and then said nonchalantly, "What is it, Athena? Just tell me what it is, and I'll help you!"

As she spoke, she reached out and patted her not-so-big heart, looking adorable as if to say, "I'm very reliable, don't worry about me."

Even so, Athena didn't dare look the other person in the eye, and only nervously stated her request, "Um, actually, I wanted to ask you to forgive the sin committed by one of my followers..."

"Huh? You want me to forgive the sins committed by your followers? Why?"

Seemingly confused by Athena's words, Artemis subconsciously repeated the sentence, a look of doubt appearing on her lovely face.

According to the rules of Zeus, the king of the gods, the gods are not allowed to attack the followers of others without authorization. Even if punishment is to be carried out, it must be done by the chief god of the other party.

Unless the believer has committed an unforgivable sin such as blasphemy, everything must be done according to the rules.

But lately, it seems like no one has done anything disrespectful to me.

Wait, could the believer Athena was referring to be the human who saw my naked body today?!
As if suddenly remembering something, Artemis's expression changed slightly, and her gaze towards Athena became strange. "Hey, Athena, you didn't come here for that... child, did you?"

"..."

Sensing Artemis's change in attitude, Athena remained silent for a moment, then lowered her eyes and nodded gently. She knew that her request was somewhat unreasonable to Artemis, but in any case, she had already agreed to Kratos's request.

So now, all I can do is shamelessly speak up.

However, compared to Athena, who was filled with shame, Artemis looked distressed, feeling that her original plans might fall through.

'What a pity, that child is actually a follower of Athena. I thought he didn't have a god to worship...'

Looking at Athena with her head bowed before her, Artemis thought to herself with some regret.

If she could, she actually wanted to make Kamiya Yu her follower and then slowly "love" him.

Now that his sisters are pleading for him, there's no point in doing anything to him.

Thinking this, Artemis sighed softly, "I understand, Athena."

“I can forgive his disrespect, but in exchange, I want to know why you have become the way you are now.”

"Furthermore, that child must also hold a sacrifice, offering me a token of repentance..."

…………

The next day.

"Although Athena has already pleaded with Artemis on your behalf, Kratos, you still need to hold a ceremony to show the moon goddess the sincerity of your apology..."

Recalling Sasha's instructions to him this morning, Kamiya Yu walked along the overgrown path, looking around for prey to be used as a sacrifice.

According to the priestess, if one truly wishes to gain the gods' forgiveness, offering them their preferred sacrifices is an essential step.

As the goddess of the hunt, the best offering to Artemis is undoubtedly the prey one has captured with one's own hands.

This is why Kamiya Yu and Sasha didn't continue their journey, but instead searched for prey in the forest.

"But why haven't I found any suitable prey yet? Can my luck really be that bad?"

Looking around at the quiet environment, Kamiya Yu muttered to himself that he hadn't encountered anything pleasant since setting foot on Greek soil.

Even during the months they traveled with Sasha, they frequently encountered robbers who would try to rob them on the road.

It's worth mentioning that, compared to the charming Sasha, these bandits were actually more interested in the white-haired, handsome young man, Kamiya Yu.

This alone made Kamiya Yu almost lose his composure; he thought it would be better if Greece were to collapse sooner rather than later.

However, after eliminating many bandits, their deeds were spread by the merchants and "bards" they had helped.

In short, on this continent of Europe, Kamiya Yu and Sasha can already be considered rising heroes.
