"No, little Atalanta."

Looking at the smiling Artemis, For the first time, Atalanta's unshakable faith in herself was shaken.

"Atalanta, do you know why Athena and Hestia coax this child to sleep? ... Because this child has not slept in three years."

"...Three years?" Atalanta was stunned.

"Well." Artemis nodded, "Atalanta, you think you've worked hard, don't you?... But you know, your efforts are actually far less than little Ia. One-tenth of Song's."

...this guy, will try hard?

Atalanta looked at Artemis suspiciously, then looked at Jason lying on his lap, frowning.

Isn't he just a lucky guy who only relies on himself to be favored by the gods?

"I know, you have always had a wrong understanding of him, but... this child, we have been watching."

Artemis said, and touched Atalanta's head again.

Although Artemis is lively and cute, she often seems very natural and dull, but it does not mean that she does not know how to take care of people.

"So if you want to know the truth, what kind of person he is, and why we care so much... Atalanta, try and find out for yourself."

Chapter 65 I have no interest in heroes at all (3k)

Jason's first meeting with Atalanta three years ago was not pleasant.

And don't forget that Atalanta was with Jason for nearly a week or so.

The ancient forest was led out by Atalanta, and Atalanta also dutifully protected Jason along the way.

At that time, Jason really knew nothing, and he walked all the way because the gods were guiding him.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that Atalanta left the impression that "this is a lucky one who is favored by the gods".

But in the end, Atalanta was so impressed with Jason because of the gods.

The sword given by Apollo, the direction given by Athena, the golden horned deer given by Artemis, and the teacher of the goddess... Atalanta is hard to remember him.

After Artemis left, Atalanta looked at Jason lying on her lap, sleeping soundly, with a complicated expression on her face.

After all, a lot of things happened tonight.

"My perception of him is all wrong, do I not know him at all?"

Recalling the two orders Jason gave him in front of Artemis, Atalanta couldn't help falling into silence.

Emerald eyes stared at Jason silently, no one knew what she was thinking right now.

Silent all night.

The next day, when the early morning sun shone on Jason's face, Jason rolled over subconsciously.

...Well, what is it, soft and fragrant?

Jason stretched out his hand suspiciously and touched it.

Then pinch.

"Don't you want your hand?"

The sound of killing intent immediately woke Jason up.

Opening his eyes, what appeared in front of Jason was Atalanta's icy gaze, as well as the belly he was grabbing and pinching...

Fortunately, it wasn't a chest, otherwise Atalanta would have shot directly.

"......cough."

Jason let go of his hand with a light cough, and got up quickly with a blank face.

After getting up, I felt very comfortable stretching... Obviously last night, he slept very well.

Then Jason originally thought that Atalanta would have to trouble himself, but found that Atalanta did not follow.

and soon,

Grumpy Grumpy...

So the atmosphere between the two became a little embarrassing now.

"Then wait a moment, I'll find something to eat."

Looking at Atalante who had no intention of getting up even though her stomach was screaming with hunger, Jason knew that her legs were numb.

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

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

After throwing it on the ground, a golden ear of wheat was taken out.

Then he took the golden ear of wheat and sprinkled it on the seeds, and the seeds on the ground immediately began to germinate.

In the end, in less than a minute, it grew into a large and small apple tree, and quickly blossomed and produced bright red apples.

...Atalanta's mouth opened slowly.

Jason picked a few apples and threw them to Atalanta.

Atalanta caught it subconsciously, and then looked at what Jason wanted to say, but saw that he took out the grass cake to find Tianma again.

After hesitating for a while, he finally nibbled silently.

"What about Artemis-sama?"

After feeding the Pegasus and watching Atalanta finish eating, Jason walked back and asked.

"left already."

"That's it." Jason nodded, and the two did not have any conversations.

Ten minutes later, Atalanta naturally returned to normal.

When she was about to leave, Atalanta watched Jason take out the golden ear of wheat, and patted the apple tree. The apple tree turned into a seed and was collected by Jason. ....

This ability was also discovered by Jason later. His favorite plants only need to be tapped lightly with the golden ears of wheat given to him by Demeter and Persephone, and they will turn into seeds and be easily recovered. .

"Um...is that Pegasus interested in trying to sit down?"

Riding on the Pegasus, when Jason was about to leave, he looked at the quiet this morning that was a bit too much, and even made Jason wonder if it was Atalante who had been dropped, Jason asked subconsciously.

But he didn't think Atalanta would come with him, because he hated him...or maybe Jason knew about it.

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

One is naturally because of Jason's bad attitude towards her back then.

The second is because of the gods.

Most people in this world believe in gods, not to mention Atalanta, she is the most loyal believer of Artemis.

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

And among the gods, there is Artemis.

Then Atalanta subconsciously compares with it, trying to figure out the reason, and wanting to prove that she is better in front of Artemis, it seems very normal.

So Atalante looked at Pegasus, and Jason, who invited her, thought for a while.

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

"......Eh?"

Jason was startled.

"What's wrong?"

Atalanta, who was sitting sideways on the Pegasus, asked lightly.

"Ah, it's not..." Jason looked at Atalanta sideways in confusion, thought for a while, and finally patted Tianma.

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

Then Pegasus didn't move. Under Jason's suspicious gaze, Pegasus chirped softly twice.

After more than three years of getting along, how could Jason still not know what Tianma means, and there are a few black lines on his forehead.

Immediately after taking out two pieces of grass cakes from the silver bag and stuffing them into its mouth, Tenma happily stretched out his wings and flew up.

After Ma Fei was in the sky that day, Atalanta immediately grabbed Jason's clothes, and in the corner of Jason's 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 is, Atalanta is only sixteen now... the same age as he is now.

"Hey, Atalanta, why are you fighting me?"

Atalanta was silent for a while, "Because I think I am stronger than you and deserve the favor of Lord Artemis."

Sure enough.

Jason pouted, "Then you lost last night, are you convinced?"

"I'm not convinced...but I won't challenge you, even if I know you deliberately beat me in that way last night."

Hearing this, Jason couldn't help but glanced at Atalante in surprise.

Seeing that Atalante was holding her hair down with her hand at the moment, Jason thought for a while, and suddenly said: "If I say now, the second order to you last night is invalid, you how to think?"

Atalanta glanced at Jason: "Go and talk to Lord Artemis."

"Forget it." Jason replied in seconds.

"...I heard Lord Artemis say, you haven't rested for more than three years?"

"Well, almost." Jason nodded.

"Is it to be a great hero?"

"No, I'm not interested in heroes, and I don't want to be a hero at all."

"......Ok?"

Atalanta was stunned.

Turning his head to look at Jason, he frowned and said, "Is it interesting to tell such a lie?"

"I didn't lie... Besides, what's the point of lying."

What a joke!

Atalanta's first reaction is of course not to believe it, after all... you are already a hero, according to rumors, the person who is loved by the gods!

Although it was the result of her leaking words for a while.

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

"In no mood."

"Then you're coming to Kalydon?"

"Athena, the goddess of wisdom, guided me, so here I am."

Atalanta stared straight at Jason, and then gradually realized that this person was not lying, after all, this is not something worth lying.

So 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 the result of your leaking out... But every time you meet me, you seem to have been at a disadvantage, so let's go."

Hearing what Jason said, Atalanta thought it was extremely absurd, but in the end she held it back and didn't say anything, instead she frowned and asked, "Then...you have been sleepless for three years for the sake of what?"

"You want to know?"

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

...what is this guy talking about?

Are you the one favored by so many great gods?

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