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

"......cough."

Jason coughed lightly, released his hand, and quickly stood up with an expressionless face.

After getting up, he stretched out feeling very comfortable... Apparently, he slept very comfortably last night.

Jason thought that Atalanta would cause trouble for him, but he found that Atalanta did not respond.

And soon,

Gulu gulu...

So the atmosphere between the two of them became a little awkward.

"Wait a moment, I'll go find something to eat."

Seeing Atalanta showing no intention of getting up even though her stomach was growling with hunger, Jason naturally knew that her legs were numb.

"No need, I'll find it myself later..."

Before Atalanta could finish her words, she saw Jason take out a few seeds from a small silver bag.

After throwing it on the ground, he took out a golden ear of wheat.

Then he took the golden ears of wheat and sprinkled them on the seeds, and the seeds on the ground immediately began to sprout.

Finally, in less than a minute, it grew into a medium-sized apple tree, which quickly blossomed and bore bright red apples.

...Atalanta's mouth slowly opened.

Jason picked a few apples and threw them to Atalanta.

Atalanta took it subconsciously, then looked at Jason and wanted to say something, but saw that he took out the grass cake and went to look for Pegasus again.

After hesitating for a while, he finally started to eat it silently.

"Where's Lady Artemis?"

After feeding the Pegasus and seeing that Atalanta had finished eating, Jason came back and asked.

"left already."

"I see." Jason nodded, and the two of them did not have any further conversation.

Ten minutes later, Atalanta naturally returned to normal.

As Atalanta was about to leave, she saw Jason take out the golden wheat ear and pat the apple tree. The apple tree turned into seeds and was collected by Jason...

This ability was later discovered by Jason. If he liked a plant, he only needed to gently tap it with the golden ears of wheat given to him by Demeter and Persephone, and it would turn into seeds that could be easily recovered.

"Um...would that Pegasus be interested in trying to sit on it?"

Riding on Pegasus, Jason was about to leave when he looked at Atalanta, who was so quiet this morning that he even suspected she was the one who had been swapped. Jason subconsciously asked.

However, he didn't think Atalanta would follow him because he hated her...or rather, Jason knew this.

As for why he was targeted, the reason was actually very simple, and Jason naturally knew it.

One reason was naturally Jason's bad attitude towards her at the beginning.

The second reason is because of the gods.

The vast majority of people in this world believe in gods, not to mention Atalanta, who is Artemis's most loyal follower.

At that time, she could be said to be the first to know how much Jason was favored by the gods.

And among those gods, there was Artemis.

It is quite normal for Atalanta to subconsciously compare herself with Artemis, trying to understand the reason and prove herself to be better than him.

So Atalanta looked at the Pegasus and Jason who had invited her, and thought for a while.

Then he stepped forward, leaped lightly, jumped up, and sat behind Jason.

"......Eh?"

Jason was shocked.

"What's wrong?"

Atalanta, sitting sideways on Pegasus, asked calmly.

"Ah, no..." Jason looked at Atalanta's profile in confusion, thought for a while, and finally patted Pegasus.

"Forget it, it's okay, Brother Ma, let's go."

Then the Pegasus did not move. Under Jason's puzzled gaze, the Pegasus cried softly twice.

After more than three years of getting along, how could Jason still not know what Tianma meant? A few black lines appeared on his forehead.

Then he took out two pieces of grass cake from the silver bag and stuffed them into its mouth. Then Pegasus happily spread its wings and flew away.

When Pegasus flew into the sky, Atalanta immediately grabbed Jason's clothes, and in Jason's peripheral vision, she was looking down at the earth with a very surprised and happy expression.

Looking at him like this, Jason suddenly realized something.

That means Atalanta is only sixteen years old now...the same age as him now.

"Hey, Atalanta, why are you dueling with me?"

Atalanta was silent for a moment, "Because I feel I am stronger than you and more deserving of Lady Artemis's favor."

Sure enough?

Jason curled his lips, "So, are you willing to accept your defeat last night?"

"I'm not convinced... But I won't challenge you again, even though I know you deliberately defeated me that way last night."

Upon hearing this, Jason couldn't help but look at Atalanta in surprise.

Seeing Atalanta holding down her hair with her hands, Jason thought for a moment and suddenly said, "What would you think if I told you that my second order to you last night was invalid?"

Atalanta glanced at Jason and said, "Go and tell Lady Artemis."

"Forget it then." Jason replied immediately.

"...I heard from Lady Artemis that you haven't had a break for over three years?"

"Well, that's about right." Jason nodded.

"Is it to become a great hero?"

"No, I have no interest in heroes and have no desire to be one at all."

"......Um?"

Atalanta was stunned.

He turned his head to look at Jason, then frowned and said, "Is it fun to tell such a lie?"

"I didn't lie... Besides, there's nothing to lie about."

What a joke!

Atalanta's first reaction was of course disbelief. After all... you are already a hero, the one whom the gods love according to legend!

Although it was the result of her accidentally letting the cat out of the bag.

"You don't want to be a hero?"

"Do not want to."

"Then why are you coming to Calydon?"

"The goddess of wisdom, Athena, guided me, so I came."

Atalanta stared at Jason, and then gradually realized that this man was not lying. After all, this was not something worth lying about.

So just when Atalanta was inevitably surprised by this.

"So I'm actually quite angry to see you again."

"Because I heard that the rumors in Arcadia were caused by you letting the cat out of the bag...but every time we meet, you always seem to suffer losses, so let's just let it go."

Hearing Jason's words, Atalanta felt it was extremely absurd, but she finally held back and didn't say anything more. Instead, she frowned and asked, "In that case...why have you been sleepless for three years?"

"You want to know?"

Jason looked at Atalanta, then smiled faintly and said, "Actually, there's no big reason. I just want to live happily and peacefully... in this era."

...What is this person talking about?

You are someone favored by so many great gods, right?

Yet you actually said you worked so hard, just... just to survive?!

Jason could naturally sense Atalanta's shock, and he had no intention of explaining further.

After all, you can't tell Atalanta, who believes in Artemis, that in this era, the more attention you get from the gods, the harder it will be to live happily.

Because most people pay attention to the glorious moments of those who are favored by God, and rarely pay attention to the tragic ending of most people.

Jason didn't know whether it was the malice of the gods or something else.

But among the many Greek heroes, few had a good ending.

Therefore, being a hero in Greece is definitely the most dangerous job.

Whoever wants to be the boss can be the boss, but Jason said he has no interest at all.

Just when Atalanta felt that her cognition collapsed because of Jason's words, they had already arrived outside the Kingdom of Calydon.

After letting Pegasus fall, Jason looked at Atalanta, who was still looking at him with an extremely strange look, thought for a while, and then said to her: "Atalanta, are you interested in doing me a favor?

It's about paying tribute to Lady Artemis..."

Chapter 4: The Summons of Typhon, the Ancestor of All Demons (k)

"Remember Jason, Artemis is the easiest and most difficult god to deal with among all the gods you offer tribute to!"

Let's move time forward a little bit at this moment.

These were the exact words that Hermes, the messenger of the gods, said to Jason that day after Jason agreed to Io's request.

Artemis is the daughter of Zeus and the Titan goddess Leto, the sister of Apollo, the god of light, and one of the twelve Olympian gods.
