Jason: I will become a good boy!

[T/N: Well, I was feeling strange for leaving this place empty, so finally just a one-and-a-half-sized chapter.]

The next day, early morning.

Jason woke up, due to Pegasus biting and pulling his hair.

"It seems that from today onwards, I have to start taking a good and proper rest."

After waking up, when Jason confirmed that Hecate had indeed left as expected, he seriously thought about this matter and said to Pegasus: "After all, I should not trouble noble goddess with this matter, you think so too, right Brother Pegasus?"

Because although Jason obviously thinks that being able to sleep on the lap pillow of the beautiful goddess is indeed comfortable, he still feels that going to sleep while fearing that even to goddesses he might do something similar to what he had done to Atalanta in his half-awake state, is not good for his health.

Because Jason is pretty sure that in case really he does something similar, he absolutely won't even get a warning.

But even this is not the main reason for Jason making this decision.

Rather, because last night, while conversing with Hecate, Jason suddenly found out something in that conversation.

Something, that made him instantly decide: 'From today onwards, I must become a good boy who will go to bed early and rise up early!'

'Because, although I really can't say that it is uncomfortable sleeping on the lap pillows of Goddesses such as Athena and Hecate...'

'After all, it is sleeping on the lap pillow goddess with the said goddess coaxing me to fall asleep by softly singing a song.'

'However, the most important reason for me feeling and accepting this is that the ones doing this are goddesses!'

'But the ones I am going to face next are the God of Light Apollo, the God of Smithing Hephaestus, the King of Sea Poseidon, and even the God-King Zeus.'

'And if they also decided to give me ​​a lap pillow, then...'

"Change, I must change my routines, from today onwards, I will definitely become a good boy who goes to bed early and wakes up early!"

After all, although Jason has met a few very decent hom*s*xuals in his last life, he can only feel his skin crawl in front of these few, so has said these words with the greatest determination he can muster.

Pegasus doubtfully looked at determined Jason, then not understanding what Jason is talking about, he neighed twice and began biting Jason's clothes for urging Jason to give him the cakes Jason has promised.

"Hey, alright, alright stop, stop biting, I'll give you cakes, I'll give you right away!"

Jason got away from Pegasus, then hurriedly took out a few cakes made of grass to reward Pegasus.

After all, Jason also knows that Pegasus has helped him a lot yesterday, without any obligations of doing so, and he does need to give something in return.

Therefore, while on the side, Pegasus is happily eating the grass cakes that have formed a small pile on the ground, Jason also picked up one ripe fruit from the many already put beside him before he had woken up.

So after Jason had eaten the breakfast and Pegasus was satisfied, Jason took Pegasus to return the sea of ​​flowers he has created last night.

But as soon as they arrived, looking at the scene in front of them, both Jason and Pegasus were stunned.

Because the sea of ​​flowers Jason has arranged last night is now gone.

And what appeared in front of Jason and Pegasus is a huge crater, as if a meteorite has smashed the land here to form a big crater.

"What, this...what has happened here?"

Just when Jason was looking around in surprise, he suddenly found a girl sleeping not far away in the only place where the bloomed lilies have still survived.

So Jason walked over and saw that the sleeping girl, wearing beautiful emerald green huntress clothes with beautiful long yellow-green hair, is Atalanta.

But when Jason looked at the beautiful girl, who is sleeping peacefully in front of him and possibly even dreaming, after hesitating only for a moment, he still decided to look at the obviously bright sky to find the trace of the Moon, and upon not finding it, a smile appeared on his face that is clearly saying that he isn't thinking of anything good.

So after confirming that Artemis is at least not openly looking here, he squatted down, then plucked up a lily on the ground, and gently tickled Atalanta's face with it.

Because Jason obviously knows that although his actions might actually look gentle or even romantic, being tickled softly while being asleep is one of the most annoying experiences, way worse than even roughly woken up.

"Don't disturb me..."

And as expected by Jason, feeling itchy and ticklish, Atalanta moved her face away and rubbed her cheeks and nose in a way similar to a lazy cat while saying in a similarly lazy voice.

But when Jason heard this, he not only didn't stop but rather his smile widened and he even became a bit more energetic in scratching her face again.

After Atalanta tried to stop a few more times in her half-asleep state, she angrily opened her eyes angrily, then got up and was about to lose her temper when she saw Jason smiling in front of her.

"Good morning, Atalanta, it looks like you had a pretty good dream last night."

"I'm a little sorry, but if you continue sleeping here, you'll catch a cold, and... do you know what has transpired here?"

After casually greeting Atalanta, Jason finally asked the question, mainly due to which he has woken up Atalanta.

Atalanta tilted her head in doubt, but when she looked in the direction Jason is pointing, she was equally shocked to see that the original sea of flowers that Jason had created last night has disappeared, only to be replaced by a big and deep pit.

"This is... what happened to this place?!"

"I do not know either."

Jason shook his head at the wide-eyed and surprised Atalanta, then naturally stretched out his hand to remove the white lily petals still sticking on her face and stood up while continuing: "But... I believe, it should be obviously related to Goddess Artemis."

"It was done following the wish of Goddess Artemis." Just when both were feeling confused, a forest Nymph, who has originally used illusion to transform herself into a tree, walked out of the forest.

Wearing thin clothes that are clearly showing most of her charming body, the forest Nymph looked at Jason in front of her and continued in a soft voice: "Goddess Artemis really likes the tribute you have offered her."

"Therefore, last night, she invited great Goddess Demeter to carry off this stretch of land. "

"Well... did goddess Demeter also come here?"

Jason asked with slightly wide eyes.

"Yes." Forest Nymph continued with a soft smile: "It was her who has told me to wait here for you and let me pass on the great oracle from her... 'I too want it!'."

"..."

After feeling speechless for a short while, at this moment, Jason can even imagine Demeter saying this while puffing up her cheeks and looking eagerly at him.

"I understood."

Jason helplessly replied: "Can I trouble you to pass on to Goddess Demeter that I will carefully prepare the tribute and deliver it to her."

'I, last night... did I really overdid it?'

After initially doubting it last night, Jason has almost accepted this fact now.

After all, in less than a day, three goddesses, Persephone, Hecate, and Demeter, all three goddesses have asked him, even borderline ordered him, to give a similar tribute.

But after thinking for a while, Jason concluded that this isn't necessarily a bad thing.

After all, creating an atmosphere similar to the one last night is not really difficult for Jason, who as a transmigrator already has so many ideas in his mind, because even the one he has created last night was the result of just a rough plan implemented in only a day's time.

Therefore, if all the remaining goddesses really only wish for just a 'romantic' situation as their tribute, Jason will be more than willing to follow through with it.

"Atalanta, it's time for us to go back, the hunting of wild boar of Calydon is organized for tonight."

"Oh, well..."

Atalanta stood up but it did not seem like she is intending to leave immediately, rather she hesitantly glanced, more than once, at the white lily flowers on the ground.

So when Jason noticed this, he blinked and thought for a moment, then crouched down and plucked a lily flower.

While holding it, Jason took out a bottle of potion from the small silver bag, that Athena had given him, and dropped some potion on the flower.

Then, Jason handed it to Atalanta while saying.

"Thank you, Atalanta, if it weren't for you, Goddess Artemis would not have been satisfied with my tribute last night, so... this lily, that will never wither, I hope you can accept it."

'In the language of flowers, lily represents purity and nobility.'

Atlanta obviously remembers what Jason has said to Artemis last night about lily flowers.

'This flower only deserves to be given to a pure and elegant woman, who...'

While thinking like this, looking at the flower that Jason is handing over, then looking at the young man in front of her, only after a few moments of speechless silence, Atalanta slightly lowered her head and accepted the flower...

'Well, it looks like this girl has finally stopped aiming at me! '

On the other side, after seeing this, while thinking this, Jason sighed in relief.

After all, Jason has obviously noticed that Atalanta's attitude towards him has suddenly begun improving two days ago.

Although Jason isn't exactly able to guess the reason behind this, believing that since he has already met Atalanta, having one more friend is naturally better than one more enemy, Jason, who is good enough at reading the atmosphere, naturally made a decision about what he should do to improve the stiff relationship between them from his perspective.

So after taking the flower and appreciatively holding it in her hand, Atalanta silently followed Jason to leave this place.

But immediately after the two left, the forest Nymphs and spirits, who have been waiting for a long time, immediately rushed out to compete for the lilies in this small area.

And this competition almost turned into a big fight...

Because, along with being attracted by Jason's tribute, they have personally seen that Demeter wasn't the only Goddess that Artemis has invited here last night to take away the whole of Jason's tribute along with the land.

And this is the Age of Gods, where every being that isn't exactly a God has learned from their birth to respect and worship Gods, so even if Jason may find this scene incredibly bizarre and unnatural, it isn't really strange for other beings to compete for just a part of something towards which many Goddesses have openly expressed their envy.

Still, if Jason would have really seen this scene with his own eyes, then possibly, even the only remaining doubt in his mind about whether he had really overdone it would have disappeared.
