Medea is not human

[T/N: Finally, a normal-sized chapter again.]

'I finally got to meet Athena again!'

Although, such an encounter is not what Jason had expected at first.

But upon seeing Athena, Jason was still relieved in his heart.

This does not mean that Demeter has recently been bad to Jason, on the contrary, Demeter, who has suddenly changed her personality recently, has been very good to Jason!

And it is nowhere limited to just asking how Jason is doing, she is personally taking care of him in every way possible, even going as far as treating Jason as her own child.

As for what she has said about Jason serving her, it even remotely can't be related to the current situation.

But it is exactly because of this that Jason is feeling uncomfortable and even wishing that Demeter can go back to putting on displeased expression upon seeing him, just like she was doing at first.

'Now, I won't even mind serving her for the next six months!'

It's not that Jason has developed a new fetish, it's just that Jason is aware of the fact that the grace of the Gods can't be enjoyed easily.

'I am personally seeing, just how fickle Gods can be!

'Just a few days ago, she regarded me as an enemy, but over the past two days, for some unknown reason, she has suddenly changed to seemingly turn into a completely different person.'

'Who knows, again for some unknown reason, she might go back to hating me, and who can guarantee that this time her hate won't be deep enough to actually hurt me.'

'Really, getting the grace of Gods is like having untameable wild monsters as pets, and that too without any collar!'

Therefore, Jason is trying to avoid it for the sake of his own life.

"Athena?"

Hearing the announcement, Demeter turned her head to the side and her amethyst eyes looked at the completely frozen Athena, who is staring blankly at Demeter feeding Jason in front of her.

'I, my eyes, are not hallucinating, right? I am a Goddess!'

Well, Athena is currently douting life.

Then, Demeter's voice reached her ears: "Why are you here?"

But as soon as the words fell and before Athena could come back to her senses and answer...

"Brother Jason!"

When Jason heard the voice, he turned his head and looked beside Athena to find Medea, who is wearing a light purple dress with a single ponytail and smiling innocently at him.

The corners of his mouth subconsciously twitched.

'Here is another trouble!'

'Forget it, fortunately, this trouble doesn't seem to be as troublesome as Gods... At least not yet, it's barely within the acceptable range... mainly because Gods haven't yet interfered between us.'

"Hey, this child is...?"

Upon hearing Medea calling Jason her brother, Demeter could not help curiously observing Jason and Medea.

After all, they don't look similar.

"Goddess Demeter, her name is Medea, my sister, and Hecate's apprentice."

Jason immediately explained upon noticing this.

"Your sister...that's also Persephone's sister, right?"

Demeter, who came to this conclusion, waved at Medea with a kind smile on her face, and said, "Child, come here."

Medea, who is a little hesitant, quietly looked at Jason in inquiry.

Jason nodded slightly to Medea, and Medea immediately walked to Demeter with confidence.

She gracefully greeted Demeter and said in a soft voice: "Goddess Demeter, Medea, daughter of King Aeetes of Colchis, is honored to meet you, the incomparably noble Goddess of Harvest."

"So nice."

Demeter stretched out her hand and took Medea into her arms.

The smile on her face only increased, she is obviously very satisfied and fond of Medea.

Simply put, Demeter really loves her children and everything that comes along.

Just as Jason was watching this scene, he suddenly discovered that Athena is still staring at him, and secretly signaling him to walk over.

After Jason obediently walked over, Athena walked around to block Demeter's sight, then reached out and secretly pinched Jason's ear, before slightly lowering her head and whispering softly in Jason's ear while still gritting her teeth: "Tell me, what is going on here?"

"That, Goddess Athena, this is a long story..."

Seeing Athena acting like this, Jason tried to slowly get away from her.

But sensing this, Athena only tightened her hold on Jason's ear and immediately asked again: "Then make the long story short."

"It's inconvenient here, Goddess Athena..."

As soon as Jason's helpless voice fell, Demeter's inquiry reached their ears: "Jason, Athena, what are you two doing?"

Athena, who understood that she could only let him go for now, secretly squeezed Jason's ear hard before letting him go.

Before turning around, an elegant and beautiful smile appeared on Athena's face, then she said to Demeter: "It's okay, Aunt Demeter... Seeing that you are in such a good mood, representing God Father's side, I can rest assured. ."

Demeter didn't think much about this, after all, as long as one notices the pure white garment on Jason's body, all the gods will immediately understand that he is Athena's favorite child.

Then, Athena began talking with Demeter about the important issue.

Although Athena has arrived here mainly because of Hecate and Jason, since she is already here, she decided to analyze the situation of Demeter, something Zeus would naturally ask her to do next.

After all, although the land has recovered its vitality now, if Demeter wishes to do it, the earth will dry up again sooner or later.

Because, Demeter is the Goddess of Harvest and the secondborn daughter of Titans Rhea and Cronus, the previous God-King and a powerful Titan.

And, even Zeus could not stop Demeter from doing so.

While Athena and Demeter were talking, Jason naturally approached Medea.

Under Jason's inquiry, Medea naturally had no reservations and told Jason about all of Hecate's arrangements one by one.

"Well, I knew that the teacher is reliable and loves me!"

After Jason learned about Hecate's arrangement, he became relieved in heart and confidently accepted his position of serving Demeter for the next six months.

He completely ignored the fact that, just a few days ago, it was him who was complaining about Hecate's unreliability as a teacher.

"That, brother Jason." Medea hesitated for a while, but after gathering up courage asked softly: "Goddess Demeter, she didn't mistreat you, did she?"

"No."

Seeing the worry in Medea's eyes as well as hearing her carefully asked question Jason couldn't help but feel a little awkward and even feel a little guilty in his heart.

After all, Jason understands, that unlike him, Medea is a human who is born and growing up in this world... well, not exactly human but still a native of this world.

But because she is born and being raised here, where it is taught from their childhood that Gods are always right and one must never question the actions of a God, this kind of questioning about God is actually an act of treason and heresy.

So, Jason can clearly see that Medea is really worried about him for her to gather enough courage to just ask this question.

But Jason, who has always regarded her as trouble, even if it is because of a reason, looking at the beautiful and innocent eyes of young Medea, who is only ten years old, Jason inevitably feels guilty in his heart.

As for Medea not being human... Not to mention the identity of her parents, one of whom is a demigod and the other an Oceanide, just from her appearance, especially her pair of pointed ears like an elf, one can conclude this.

Therefore, Medea is actually closer to the Nymphs in Greek Mythology.

As a matter of fact, Medea actually has a cousin named Asterios... the monster, Minotaur trapped in the so-called 'absolutely impossible to escape from labyrinth'!
