Jason: I'm really witty!

"So cute."

Due to Jason decisively calling Persephone as sister while making his voice as sweet as possible, she couldn't help pulling Jason into her arms and then rubbing his head and cheeks!

After all, no matter what Jason is thinking in his heart, his current appearance is that of a young and cute boy who is only about twelve years old.

Jason has gotten along well with Chiron and his students, who were complete strangers, let also Persephone is someone who has a favorable impression of him, although, also a goddess!

With an appearance that will originally be compared to God Apollo in the future, and currently looking like a cute and sensible child, along with knowing the fact that most Greek Gods are standard Face control, it isn't difficult for Jason to make Persephone feel happy.

"That, that... Goddess Persephone Sister?" Medea, after seeing that Jason has already used sister while calling Goddess Persephone, followed to do the same in a soft voice.

On the other side, Hecate looked at Persephone, who is now happily hugging her two students and patting them with joy, then couldn't help but shake her head.

Naturally, Hecate would not be deceived by Jason, after all, knowing him for more than half a year, she has naturally discovered Jason's thinking isn't like a twelve-year-old mortal child at all.

"So cute, little Jason, little Medea!"

Persephone hugged the two of them and happily said: "I'm sorry, your sister was in a hurry this time, so I didn't prepare any gifts for you two, but next time, I will definitely bring you something good next time!"

"Stop making trouble." Seeing that this isn't showing any sign of stopping, Hecate couldn't help but say: "Persephone, you too, don't spoil them too much, and...they are my students!"

Unfortunately or fortunately, no one noticed the slight jealousy hidden in Hecate's words, so after saying this, Hecate glared at Jason.

'Now she is your sister? ... Then you...!'

'Then, when you meet Hades, will you call him brother?'

Jason didn't notice Hecate's gaze, because he is now admiring his wits!

'Sure enough, blindly dodging is useless after all. I just have to learn to be flexible, and even the survival principles must be updated according to the situation.'

'Indeed, this is the standard script followed by Greek Gods, make them happy, like calling her sister, and get a reward in return.'

'I am really witty!'

"What does it matter, these two are your believers, isn't it just like my believers?" Persephone let go of Jason and Medea, then walked to Hecate with a smile and asked: "Or... did you get jealous?"

"I did not!... Okay, let's not talk about this. Since preparations here are done, let's just get it over with."

Hecate swiftly changed the subject and although she definitely won't admit that she was getting jealous, looking at the scene of Jason and Medea getting close to Persephone...

"Okay." Persephone looked at Hecate then turned her head away, looking visibly depressed, by obviously snickering in her heart.

After all, Hecate really had never been so close with either of them, because both Jason and Medea respect her as a teacher... at least for now.

"But wait, Jason just seemed to have something to ask me."

"Yes, Sister Persephone."

Jason nodded, then looked at Persephone and asked tentatively: "What I want to ask is actually... Sister Persephone, do you hate Goddess Demeter?"

As soon as the words fell, Hecate could not help but wrinkle her brows.

Obviously, she did not expect Jason to ask about such a sensitive topic!

But, just when Hecate opened her mouth to say something, she hesitated and thought again, then she suddenly realized that this seems like a good opportunity!

'Since this matter has to be resolved sooner or later, and now that Jason has just gotten permission to call her sister, along with him being a child, he can indeed ask this directly.'

'The situation is perfect and the location is good with no one around, not even Hades.'

Thinking like this, Hecate couldn't help but look at Jason in surprise.

'This time... he really caught a good opportunity!'

But for Jason, this is one of the early rules in Jason's Law of Survival: 'If I encounter someone or something that cannot be escaped, then I should solve it as quickly as possible!'

'If I can't solve it, then break the big thing, into smaller things, then to nothing; I absolutely can't procrastinate.'

'Because the longer I drag, the more probable it will be to have accidents!'

"This... I hate her, of course!"

"Really, Sister Persephone?... Sister Persephone, do you really want your relationship with Goddess Demeter to become this stiff, and never see her again?"

Jason's questioning obviously made Persephone feel unexpected, so she subconsciously looked at Hecate, but only to find that Hecate is also looking at her and waiting for an answer.

"Persephone, sooner or later, this matter will be settled."

Hecate continued persuading Persephone: "This just happens to be the case that no one else is here, and you don't have to hide it from me, also this child seems to have some ideas, you can listen to it."

"Moreover...you don't want to see something happen between your mother and Jason, right? "

Hearing this, Persephone obviously wavered to a certain extent, and looking at Jason in front of her, she remembered Demeter's doting on her...

Then Persephone sighed.

"You're right, Hecate, I can't harm this child...and I do hate my mother, but...she's still my mother after all."

"This means, Sister Persephone, it is not that you don't want to meet your mother, do you?"

Persephone nodded.

"Sister Persephone, I have heard from Teacher Hecate that the reason why your mother had been reluctant to let you come to the underworld is that she was worried that she would never see you again, right?"

Hecate looked at Jason in puzzlement.

'Strange, did I say something like this? ...How come I don't remember?'

"My mother, she... she can live without everyone and everything else, only, my mother, she seems to be unable to live without me!"

Only mentioning Demeter's behavior gave Persephone a little headache.

"Then, actually, if that's the case...I have a suggestion."

Jason said to Persephone: "Now the land is withering little by little because of the powers of the goddess Demeter."

"So, I think, since Goddess Demeter is afraid of not being able to see Sister Persephone and may think you will be very resistant to it, why not just let her know that you will still meet her again?!"

"For example, let her be able to enter and exit the underworld, or sister, you promise to go back every once in a while!"

Jason has an impression of this famous mythological tale.

When Persephone became the queen of the underworld, Demeter was very sad after losing her daughter, and all things on the earth stopped growing and even began withering.

Finally, Zeus had to act, and Hades asked Persephone to eat six pomegranate seeds before leaving, representing that she will be spending six months every year in Underworld.

But what surprised Jason is that when he proposed this idea, Hecate and Persephone looked at each other, then sighed at the same time.

"Don't you know Jason?" Flame Spirit on the side couldn't help but say: "Not everyone can enter and leave the underworld as they wish... Even the great God-King Zeus is the same!"

"Ah?" Jason was surprised upon hearing this: "Is that so?"

"You probably didn't notice it because you've been following Hecate." Persephone helplessly replied: "Hecate is rather special and she lives in the underworld only because she hates troubles and doesn't want to be disturbed.

"It is because of her that the three-headed hell-dog guarding the gate of Underworld and so many Underworld Gods pretend not to notice your entry and exit."

"If my mother or I were free to go in and out of Underworld, she wouldn't have kept me locked up and not let me go out."

'Ah, this...'

Jason looked around, he really didn't know this!

After all, since becoming Hecate's student, Jason has been going in and out of Underworld without facing any problem even once...

"It's not completely impossible." Hecate thought for a while, and said thoughtfully: "But that requires..."

"However, that requires the consent of me and Zeus at the same time."

A voice full of certain majesty suddenly sounded in everyone's ears, and a man dressed in black with black hair and black eyes walked over from the side.

"God Hades!" Seeing him, Flame Spirit hurriedly saluted him.

Even Hecate greeted him, although, she has already sensed him arriving soon after Persephone admitted her feelings.

"How did you come?"

"I saw you were gone, so I looked for you."

Even with the dignified expression on his face, the moment his vision fell on Persephone, Hades revealed a faint smile.

Regardless of the description of their relationship in the mythology, Jason found that the both of them in front of him probably... really like each other.

"What this child has said about Persephone and sister... Demeter's matter must be resolved after all."

"So, you have heard it all...you agree?"

"This is the best solution so far." Hades nodded, "And I think Zeus would agree... Persephone, talk to Demeter."

"However, if I appear again in front of Mother, I would definitely be grasped and imprisoned immediately!" Persephone replied helplessly.

"Then... might as well let me go for this?"

At this moment, Jason, who has lowered his head while being thinking about his plans, suddenly asked cautiously.

"You?"

Persephone and Hades, who are slightly stunned, looked at Jason at the same time.

Even Hecate gave Jason a surprised look.

'It's usually normal for him to hurriedly hide upon hearing the name of Gods, but today, did I rub his face too hard, or did Persephone pat his head too hard?'

But Jason is thinking about a completely different thing: 'This might be a good chance for me to possibly alter my relationship with Demeter and at least not let her hold a grudge against me; after all, if it is a task given by Hades and Persephone, then at least I won't directly be killed upon meeting Demeter and have some room for manipulation.

However, soon, Hecate noticed something else, then looked at Hades again and shook her head in her heart.

Now, Hecate has understood... understood that Zeus's plan wasn't just pacifying Hades by allowing him to have Persephone, rather he wanted to weaken Hades's powers in return for giving Persephone his consent to enter and exit Underworld.

Therefore, even if Jason didn't propose these things today, the final outcome will still be the same as what Jason has said.

Because this was Zeus's plan to... weaken Hades' power and authority!

"Well... it indeed seems like a good proposal."

Hades thought about it for a while, then nodded and said: "And since you have brought Persephone, then you indeed should be responsible for solving this."
