This. Is. Impossible!

[T/N: This one is even larger than a double chapter.]

In the temple of the Goddess of Harvest, Goddess Demeter.

Jason became the valet serving by her side.

Although this is a huge gift for most people in Greece, especially for those who believe in Demeter.

But for Jason, it is naturally a headache-inducing matter.

Soon three days passed.

Late morning, Jason came to Pegasus with the fresh grass from near the temple.

And by this time, Jason has already found out that Pegasus has decent enough intelligence to understand human speech and emotions.

"Brother Pegasus, what do you think Goddess Demeter keeping me for?"

While feeding fresh grass, Jason touched its soft hair and spoke like talking to himself: "I don't think Goddess Demeter is very angry at me..."

Although Pegasus understood that Jason is talking to him, he decided to concentrate on eating the grass and ignore Jason.

Because Pegasus is intelligent enough to understand that it can't 'speak' on either side, irrespective of the fact that the human talking to him can understand him or not.

After all, on one side is Goddess Demeter, who can talk to both plants and animals, and on the other side is Jason, who is made his current master by Goddess Hestia, who is respected by even his original master, God Poseidon.

So it only neighed twice, indicating in his own language: 'I am just a horse, how would I know?'

"It's okay, I'm just complaining, you eat your grass..."

Jason is also helpless, what else can he do except for complaining to this intelligent Pegasus, who Jason has found out by now is intelligent enough to not speak on either side.

"Jason, you are here."

One of the Olympians, the firstborn of Titans Cronus and Rhea, Hestia arrived here with a smile on her face.

"Goddess Hestia..."

"Okay, haven't I already said you don't need to exercise formalities with me?"

Hestia, who has walked over, stopped Jason's movements, took his hand and sat down, then began squeezing Jason's still young face and said with a smile: "This is your punishment for not listening to me... Oh, the more I look at you, the more I am liking you."

"Why don't you just leave Hecate's side and become my child, my believer? "

Hestia is actually the second goddess to express that she wants Jason, although, he doesn't know about the first goddess, who is Athena.

"That, Goddess Hestia, please, don't make fun of me..."

"I'm not joking with you, I really like you, little Jason... Forget it, let it be like this for now but if you want, little Jason, you can come to me at any time."

After speaking this, Hestia hugged Jason in her arms and began patting his head.

Hestia is also the Goddess of Family and one of few Gods who seriously follow the divinity owned by them.

So she really likes children, not to mention that she believes that Jason is a kind, courageous, and responsible child with very beautiful and pure eyes.

Moreover, as someone who will be later on compared to God Apollo in appearance, currently, he is indeed quite lovable for a motherly Goddess like Hestia.

"Little Jason, I'm leaving... But rest assured, Demeter is not actually a bad person, you don't have to worry too much."

"I will never, Goddess Demeter is the mother of Sister Persephone and I took sister Persephone away without authorization so it is indeed my fault."

Jason immediately gave a pleasing-to-hear reply that would immediately be declared as nonsense by those familiar with his true nature, even Pegasus.

But because Jason is in front of a god, so his words are very cleverly arranged to make it a part truth; like Jason didn't mention anything about what he was referring to by the words 'I will never'.

"So cute!"

Hestia rubbed Jason's head and said with a smile: "Come on then, Demeter is calling for you... little Jason, will see you next time."

"Well, goodbye Goddess Hestia."

While walking back to the temple after saying goodbye to Hestia, surprised to notice Pegasus still in the stables, Jason walked to the stables and asked in doubt: "Brother Pegasus, Goddess Hestia is leaving, won't you follow her?"

Pegasus neighed twice in reply but Jason couldn't understand what he is saying.

So, seeing that Pegasus still isn't moving, he decided to not care about it for now and walked into the temple.

Under the leadership of a Nymph, Jason quickly walked to Demeter, who is sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window looking at the scenery outside the temple.

With the sunlight shining on her long golden hair, the expression on this beautiful and dignifiedly dressed Goddess is no longer looking as cold as it was a few days ago.

"Come here, sit down, I have something to ask you."

Hearing this, Jason was not surprised and sat in front of Demeter.

Demeter waved her hand, and Nymphs around here left this place.

After only two of them were left, two spent a short while of speechless silence.

"Persephone... how was she in the underworld?"

"I haven't been in the underworld for long."

Jason thought for a while and replied truthfully: "So I'm not sure, but... when sister was laughing, she seemed very happy."

"Laughing?" Demeter sighed: "I haven't seen that child smile at me in a long time."

"Don't worry, Goddess Demeter, sister will be back in half a year at most."

"... Tell me about what has happened that day." Demeter looked at Jason and said: "I know that if it isn't for a reason, the child... probably, would have not chosen to come back."

After saying this, Demeter obviously felt a little lonely; after all, of course, she knew this, if she didn't know, she wouldn't have locked up Persephone before.

So after thinking just for a moment, Jason told Demeter exactly what has happened near the river of Blazing Flames in Underworld on that day.

"I really didn't expect it." After listening to Jason, the beautiful Goddess Demeter couldn't help but smile at Jason and said: "It was you who took my daughter away and also proposed to bring my daughter back... Child, tell me, I should hate you, or should I thank you?"

After speaking this, Demeter paused for a few moments before continuing: "But you can rest assured that I won't do anything to you, I won't make you stay here just out of spite, after half a year, you can go back by yourself."

Hearing this, Jason couldn't stop himself from looking at Demeter in surprise.

And Demeter, upon noticing his surprise, spoke.

"I am the Goddess of Harvest, and I am the secondborn child after Sister Hestia. I am not so willful."

'Well... letting the earth wither and many beings dying under your wrath is not being willful... this is probably the thinking of a god.'

Jason thought like this, but he obviously won't say this to Demeter.

And it isn't just because Jason thinks that Demeter is a mean-spirited Greek Goddess, he just doesn't think he is someone worthy enough to say this.

Jason knows he is not a paragon, his hands have already been stained with the blood of both humans and monsters.

Moreover, Jason also knows that if it wasn't necessary to come here for his own well-being, most likely, he would have chosen to ignore this matter and many more beings would have died in the next six months.

Because he knows that sooner or later other gods would have not stood by and stepped forward to restrain Demeter.

Jason remembers that in mythological stories, it was Zeus who finally took action, but it was half a year later.

And, even after knowing this or exactly because of knowing this, Jason is here, mainly because he has to do this for his own survival.

After Demeter finishing speaking, she again looked out the window, apparently, telling Jason to leave her here alone.

Jason, who can obviously read this atmosphere, upon seeing this had already planned to leave, but when he got up and again looked at Demeter looking out of the window, who is looking so lonely, he couldn't help but think of his mother.

Not Jason's mother in this world, but the one in his previous world, his mother, who he could never meet again...

Jason in his previous life wasn't an orphan or someone with a traumatic past, he had an average life, with his both parents alive and living with him, he had a stable job, a house, and two cars.

And being the only child of his parents, he couldn't help but think if his mother is also looking through the window like this, possibly even after knowing that he isn't in that world anymore.

So, possibly hoping that his father will say something like this to his mother or possibly not willing to see a mother looking like this, Jason said to Demeter with visible guilt in his voice: "That, Goddess Demeter, I don't think Sister Persephone hates you, on the contrary, she must be very happy in her heart for being able to meet you again."

Hearing Jason's words, Demeter turned her eyes towards him, while feeling a little surprised.

Naturally, she is not surprised by the content of Jason's words because how could she not know the thinking of her own daughter, who she has been taking care of since her birth.

Rather, she is surprised at the fact that this human child actually dared to reassure and console a Goddess like her.

She has been living in this world for a long while, and just by her mere presence, whether humans or monsters believe in her or not, almost everyone bows down to show respect towards her, and most do not even dare to look at her more than once!... Let alone even thinking of consoling her.

Then Demeter noticed that just like his voice... Jason has a deep sense of guilt and regrets in his eyes along with an expression that says he is not able to continue watching her in this state.

'Guilt?'

And upon noticing this, Demeter is really surprised.

'Is it towards me?'

'Ah... really, Hestia is right, he is truly a wonderful child!'

Unaware of fact that Demeter has taken his guilt and regret of not being able to meet his parents from his previous world as his guilt and regret towards her, Jason continued.

"Goddess Demeter, I have asked Sister Persephone and she has admitted that she likes you, and at the same time she also wants to come back and meet you again!"

And since he has already spoken to this point, Jason decided to continue: "Goddess Demeter, Sister Persephone is already a very beautiful and excellent goddess. She has grown up and has decided on her own path to walk onwards, so she chose to leave your side, but this definitely does not mean she doesn't love you!"

"I believe sister Persephone also discovered this soon after leaving you and actually misses you and is even worried about your situation, that is why she decided on living with you for half a year every year!"

"So, so..."

Jason, who has been talking for a while due to seeing a mother possibly in grief similar to his own mother, whom he would never be able to hug again, feel her care for him, listen to her previously annoying nagging, or... even meet again only once...

So, Jason has been speaking so much for a while...

But when he finally calmed down, his body immediately stiffened, and couldn't help but shout in his heart: 'I'm done for, I am definitely done for this time!'

And even his face turned pale.

'I actually dared to teach a goddess, I am afraid that before tomorrow's sunrise, I will definitely be thrown into the sea and fed to Poseidon, no, I mean his kids, no, I mean monsters under him!

So Jason, who was almost anxious enough to cry, slowly and carefully raised his head, then looked at Demeter, but he didn't see Demeter's angry or gloomy face as he has imagined.

On the contrary, she has a gentle smile with eyes full of love and kindness...

******

Two more days passed.

Finally, Medea successfully met Athena and was immediately taken to the temple of Demeter by an impatient Athena.

Athena, who has just arrived at the temple, remembered how all her planning had been turned useless and that too twice, couldn't help but lightly grit her teeth.

'Humph, this kid actually dared to ignore me and run away, twice, even if it was because of Artemis and Hestia, it's unforgivable!'

'But this is just the right opportunity for me, now this kid must be terrified and apprehensive due to accompanying Demeter and after I rescue him this time, he will certainly become extremely grateful to me'.

'And with this relationship, he will no longer be able to reject me in the future, and can only be at my mercy!

With these thoughts in mind, Athena, whose vexation has only increased but at the same time, a smile appeared on her face in anticipation, walked into the temple with Medea under the leadership of a Nymph.

Then, they walked into the hall and saw...

"Goddess Demeter, I really can't eat anymore..."

"Come on, child, these are the grapes just picked from next to the spring, they're very sweet. And, little Jason, be obedient, haven't we already agreed, honorifics are not needed?"

Athena walked in, and what caught her golden eyes is Jason, who is sitting beside Demeter and is getting spoiled and fed by her while looking a little embarrassed...

"Goddess Demeter, Goddess of Wisdom, Goddess Athena, is here."

Immediately after entering, Nymph informed Demeter in a soft voice.

When Jason heard that Athena has arrived, he slightly turned his head and looked at Athena, then immediately cast a desperate look at Athena for seeking help.

'Goddess Athena, save me!'

Under such a scene, the smile on Athena's face disappeared little by little, then returned to calm and finally became expressionless.

As for her heart...

'It. Is. Absolutely. Impossible!'
