◈ Chapter 61 - List of Fun and Exciting Troubles

[List of fun and exciting troubles]

[1. Artemis, goddess of the moon, Apollo, god of the sun - premonition of orbital bombing.

2. Hermes' Riddle - How a child born without a midwife gained divine karma.

3. Eris and Nemesis - I said I would see you later, but would it be okay?

4. Tips from Goddess Hera and Atalanta-Hermes: Be sure to offer a proper burnt offering to the goddess: A cow or fragrant oil is good as an offering, but please note that poetry is popular in Olympus for some reason.

5. Orion - Resolution: The gang left no bodies behind, and thanks to Eris's barrier, there were no witnesses, the person involved disappeared as punishment, and even inside the forest, there seemed to be a rumor that they were beaten and kicked out by me.

6. Atalanta and Nesneria-...]

"Is it roughly like this?"

It had barely been a week since I left the island, and all the quests that had accumulated were just things that were blinding to my eyes.

The good news is that most of them have been resolved or are not that dangerous.

However, the problem is that only one unresolved problem is quite dangerous.

Apollo and Artemis.

Sun and moon.

Reason and madness.

Day and night.

Twin brother and sister gods who are opposites but are one with each other.

Even Apollo, a love story that most of the related myths call a tragedy and a mess.

Among the related myths, Artemis is a majestic character that is often used as a punishment and as a character trait.

The situation where these two were giving me coordinates and growling at me was a situation that made me cringe.

"Wow, I want a cigarette."

I wanted to at least have a drink, but unfortunately, I didn't have anything because I hadn't yet moved in any household items to the house.

Lee Dong's even didn't have cigarettes. Even if there is something like marijuana.

Anyway, what was important now was not my actual smoking, but the preparation for orbital bombing.

"What are roughly three or four preparation measures that can be implemented now?"

First, a demonstration of force.

They say the last time I saw Artemis' blood was half a fluke, but I had experienced a lot in a short period of time.

He awakened a special power called Shinmagi, and was able to regain a great deal of his martial arts skills after experiencing a fierce battle with Hercules.

In addition, the Forest of Heroes here is Chiron's sanctuary protected in the name of Zeus.

No matter what god he is, he cannot exercise his divine power as he pleases without the approval of Chiron, so it can be said that there is even a geographical advantage.

However, the problem is that Apollo, Artemis, and other characters are the original ranged dealers.

They were sharpshooters who flew through the sky and shot sunlight and moonlight with arrows. My older brother fired solar beam and plague beam, and my younger brother fired moonlight beam and curse beam.

Even though this was Chiron's sanctuary, if someone tried to hit my head with an arrow while thinking, "Oh my gosh, my hand slipped" In the sky, I had very limited ways to deal with it.

"First of all, if only we could bring the battlefield down to the ground, to the forest..."

There is something that the Twelve God Demons said to me in one voice.

This means that there are no absolutes in a fight.

A first-class warrior dies due to a thoughtless throw from a third-rate warrior.

It was said that Murim was the place where a superman who collapsed a mountain and jumped over a river alone fell to the poison of an assassin.

No matter how incredibly powerful the opponent may be.

The essence and enlightenment of martial arts that I still possess. If there was a divine magic machine that could perfectly reproduce the martial arts, I would gladly welcome it, be it the sun or the moon.

However, if I were to fire a sniper shot from a very long distance, I would also face many difficulties.

Of course, apart from divine magic, the basis for continuing to practice martial arts and magic was gradually being prepared.

When I reached the age where I was physically perfect, my goal was to be able to handle at least the martial arts of the Twelve Divine Demons on my own without the help of the Divine Demons before leaving the Forest of Heroes.

Among the martial arts of the Twelve Divine Demons, there is a divine magic machine that can reproduce even the most difficult Guyu Sword and Sword Gang, so there is no need to practice martial arts, right? I thought about it too.

Not only did I have a nosebleed due to an internal injury the other day, but I also said that in order to deal with magical energy, you need to not only control your bets, but also support your body.

While it is assumed that the energy called Shinmagi is not entirely mine, but rather a divine power belonging to the primordial night mother called Nyx, it was concluded that in order to fully digest that powerful energy, the physical body must also be transcended accordingly.

However, this is not really a problem either.

This is because the Shinmagi, which had become even stronger and easier to use after the fierce battle with Hercules, not only reproduced martial arts but also showed martial arts training was more than three times more efficient.

If you look at the size of the Danjeon, it is almost similar to the Jeomjeommuin.

If you add the divine magic energy that is distributed evenly throughout the entire body, not just the Danjeon, you will be able to easily deal with even an extreme expert.

Looking at the current operation of the divine magic energy, there will be almost no restrictions on the use of the divine magic energy even if it is only at the peak level.

In addition, if I could reach the Hwagyeong, this divine demonic energy would also belong entirely to me, further spurring my achievement.

And, as expected, if you only listen to it at the peak, it will be possible to deal with curses or acts of force to some extent unless the gods play a game.

"Going straight to Hwagyeong... Might be a bit difficult."

No matter how much I peered into the world of heaven and earth, the world of flowers was a fairly high wall.

The beginning of superhumanity and the first step toward reaching the realm of godhood.

Because that was Hwagyeong.

Even if my enlightenment is complete and I have the power of divine magic, it will probably take quite a bit of effort and time to reach the realm of peace again.

If you can just go beyond the peak and reach the Hwagyeong, you won't have any headaches like this.

"Anyway, that's how the force part is summed up."

Second, let's cry out to the gods.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, God for a god.

It's hard to say it with my own mouth, but I have contributed quite a bit to the gods.

That's right, I still remembered the gods in the colorful comic books that were colorfully displayed in the orphanage library when I was a child.

Those myths that had all kinds of interesting stories paired with elegant drawings, but I can't remember until the end because the artist changed near the end and I can't see them anymore.

Anyway, the Greek gods were a longing for me from an innocent time in my long memories.

But I am living my third life in a world where such gods actually exist.

Without pride as a warrior or dignity as a ruler, they were my old admiration and memories, long-lost friends, and protagonists who made me cry and laugh in the wilds of my imagination.

At the orphanage, I was a fairly devout believer, and I used to enjoy the joy and longing alone by devoting my faith to the gods of my old memories.

As a result, although it was unintentional, Hermes says that Ares and Poseidon are very attracted to me.

However, they calculated that the young believer, who had been so devoted to sending them pocket money and personally picking up the offerings, would not turn a blind eye when he was threatened by another god.

In addition, a poem that was suddenly picked up and posted at the temple of Zeus reached the ears of Hera.

In the aftermath of the butterfly effect, even the goddess Hera took a liking to me, and Atalanta took care of me with her precious elixir.

I don't know if this will be harmful or beneficial in the future, but it was quite reassuring to know that the mythical gods that I often visited in my past life as a precaution against twins are holding on.

If I ask my self-proclaimed older sister Eris and my real older sister Nemesis, who were quite friendly to me, they will provide me with some cover.

"It hurts my pride to have to fight against an assassin who is trying to snipe at me, but..."

Looking at it calmly, we are still at a point where we cannot compete head-on with God, so we should have mobilized all realistic means to deal with it.

"In that sense, this riddle that Hermes gave us..."

[Follow the journey of a child born without a midwife who attained divine vocation. If you give the answer to the children of Hephaestus, the way will open.]

The mystery, which was roughly this nuance, continued to tickle my intuition.

"I really think that if I just solve this, I'll find the answer..."

I felt like I knew something, but strangely I couldn't remember it, as if the answers had been blurred and whitened out on the answer sheet I had glanced at.

"Offuuuuu..."

A child born without a midwife, the process of getting a new job...

"You said you got a new job, so it must be a story from God..."

Who wouldn't say he's the god of one tool? He had a knack for twisting a story.

I was cautious about asking other people for fear that the twins' cleverness would be caught by a person later, so I had to deal with it on my own.

Hey, I'm just asking about a riddle, but how many idiots would want to kill me?

It's not that I didn't think about it.

But something came to mind when I saw Asclepius sitting across from me last night.

My current opponent, the idiot named Apollo, was the one who hit the headshots at the uncles and Cyclops who could not stand against their father and made iron thunder arrows just because their son died at the hands of their father.

"Yeah, I guess he's a jerk for no reason..."

And yet Apollo is the most popular god in Greece.

After all, people are good-looking and something to see.

"Huh, first of all, I'll have to go around the temples tomorrow and make some offerings, and think about the viewing distance."

After roughly rolling up the list of my problems and throwing them away, I lay down on my bed again and covered myself with the blanket.

Let's solve tomorrow's problems tomorrow. Don't feel tired now.

"The first class tomorrow is... Pottery class?"

What class is this again?

I grinned that I was doing all I could, and roughly blew away the earth with my magical energy, turned off the lights, and went to bed.

...I never dreamed that I would make an unexpected discovery in that very ceramics class.

◈ Chapter 62 - Morning Sun and Morning Canter

In the end, even while lying in bed, she worked hard to think about the baby and her new job.

While I was sleeping, I had random dreams and woke up and fell asleep several times.

The dream is that a toddling baby would collaborate with a giant blacksmith to start a large-scale baby bottle business, then shoot the sun and moon in the sky with a baby bottle beam, then advance into space and establish a galactic empire.

Even after I woke up, I sat there blankly wondering what kind of dream this was and whether I was in a good state of mind, and I almost ended up being late for my morning canter.

-Ssssshh...

As I was looking at the sea with cool waves under the still dark morning sky, I slowly wondered why on earth I was putting myself through all this trouble.

They say that life is ultimately a cycle of overcoming and striking, but now I was just ignoring it, thinking it was my business.

"Heckle."

"For my personal request, I would like to ask you to call me by my name correctly, but what is it?"

Hercules, who was tying his sandal laces next to me, muttered something and jumped up.

'Looking again, he's a big guy.'

Although I was quite tall for my age group, I was like a budding hero or Hercules with a stature that reminded me of an adult bodybuilder.

"Aren't you tired?"

"What?"

"Life."

To be honest, the trouble I'm currently having because of Twin Light Years was nothing compared to this mess.

It's a shame because he was born as Hercules, but isn't this guy living a journey in life that should be considered a thousand years old when viewed from the perspective of human philosophy?

"It makes all kinds of noise."

Hercules smiled and looked down at me as if my question was no big deal.

"How can you live your life in a good way? If a lion attacks, kill the lion, and if the goddess is angry,

"I just have to live with what I can afford."

I was looking at him quietly, as if I was surprised by his surprisingly insightful reaction.

Hercules lightly shrugged his shoulders and continued.

"I wasn't born into my father's lineage because I liked it, but how can I have any other choice than the life of Hercules?"

"Um... Isn't that right?"

Hercules was the representative name for the so-called hero.

From his mighty power to lift mountains to his fate of being hated by God and suffering hardships, he was probably the type of person who would live alone in Simsamyu Valley, but a sealed monster would come out of that place and catch him and establish a dynasty.

"Therefore. "I have no choice but to just keep trying to draw. Well, if I keep asking questions like you do, I won't be able to solve anything and I'll just get tired, right?"

"...That's wise."

When I first saw him, I had a strong impression that he was a guy whose brain was made of muscle.

When we talk about him like this, he was a guy with very philosophical and coherent thoughts.

Well, that means he would have remained in myth as a great hero, not just a strong fighter.

"From what I've seen, I don't think you're the kind of person who doesn't know that, so why are you asking that?"

"Well, I don't know when an orbital bombardment will come from the sky, so I'm assigned to solve the riddle. "It looks like a wise man has arrived."

"I told you to stop using that Hyperborean dialect. I don't know what you're talking about. And the discussion of our short lives is not important."

"What?"

"Look over there."

Where Hercules pointed, instead of the collapsed Colosseum, there were students from the Forest of Heroes gathered in groups of twos and threes preparing on the shore of Poseidon.

Each person was sharpening their weapons, checking their armor, and preparing to race towards the upcoming breakfast.

"Sheesh, we were so excited that we went wild."

Hercules seemed very displeased as he watched the little heroes swell with hope for breakfast on the wide shore.

"Why is that?"

"No, why? "Are you asking because you really don't know?"

Did he hear correctly? It was Hercules in serious agony, but there was an evilness that could not be hidden on his face.

"With the front line so open, I can't catch them all if they run away from me!"

"Do you have to hold it?"

"Oh no, Dianes, listen to me."

When I asked a dumbfounded question, Hercules cleared his throat and began speaking with a very determined expression.

"As a result of all my hard work, no one but me has been able to eat breakfast after the morning canter."

"Yes?"

"As a result, while everyone was watching me eat a delicious breakfast, some people started helping out with tasks in the forest to supplement their meals in some way, or went to the kitchen and stole meals to avoid the surveillance of nymphs and centaurs."

"Yes?"

"In other words, our dear alumni faced enormous hardships and craved the delicacy of breakfast, so they honed their abilities or used their wisdom to win breakfast."

"Is that so?"

"But if it's an open coast like this, even if I am the son of Zeus and the next great hero, there will definitely be someone who goes out and eats breakfast."

"Yes?"

"If that happens, will the number of people eating breakfast gradually increase?"

"Yes?"

"If that happens, breakfast will no longer be a reward after a great ordeal, but just an ordinary meal."

"Yes?"

"Then no one will know the importance of breakfast anymore and it will just be a daily meal. How cruel this is to Demeter! "You will also miss the opportunity to hone yourself by filling your stomach with a generous amount of bread and wine!"

How scary this is!

Watching Hercules repeat a speech that seemed to have no persuasiveness in a passionate tone, I was able to express my opinion in just one word.

...What kind of bullshit is this?

"Hey, heckler. Haven't we been having an in-depth discussion about life and hardships just five minutes ago? But then you suddenly sat down and gave a hard-earned lecture about the importance of breakfast?"

But out of nowhere, Hercules was spewing out sophistry to me as if he was filming a variety show.

"Uh huh, that's how important breakfast is."

As if he didn't know anything, Hercules pointed his finger at me and swaggered.

Looking at that face, I was dumbfounded and just asked this out loud.

"So what are your true intentions?"

"It's scary to see other people eating breakfast. "I'm the only one who will eat it."

...

Yes, that's right.

Even if Amman's size was reminiscent of a bodybuilder, these guys were old enough to still have a lot of jammin moss by modern standards.

"So, Dianes. Why not join me in giving them the hardships of the morning?

"We will be able to eat a hearty breakfast that everyone will envy, safely experience intense battles that they cannot pay for, and also hone our capabilities in the morning cravings."

"But why are you offering me this?"

"If you mess with those guys, I don't think I'll be able to eat breakfast."

"Oh? That's surprising. "I never thought he would admit it so openly."

Aren't they originally Greek heroes who cared for their honor and pride like their lives?

But surprisingly, Hercules was talking about himself as being on the same level without much resistance.

"Athena said that the most important thing in Athena's teachings is the owl's vision of looking at all directions objectively. And if you and I fight, only the other guys will see the good side."

This guy had much more cool-headed judgment than I thought.

Judging by the fact that he even knows how to acknowledge others, it is clear that the seedlings that will do great things in the future are already green.

Or maybe it's just that my brain is racing because I'm tired of seeing other guys making a fuss in droves.

"Oh, by the way, breakfast is a dividend system? "You eat on a first-come, first-served basis."

In other words, the more people eat breakfast, the less pie I get back.

"Ha..."

So, to sum it up in one word, this guy really passionately expressed something heroically.

The idea was to join hands with him, not with them, to prevent those guys from eating breakfast and to monopolize a delicious breakfast for ourselves.

In short, it was a fucking stupid idea.

"Then we should do it right away."

"Of course, I thought you would understand my feelings!"

Eating breakfast alone while talking to other shameless guys?

I can't stand fun like this.

Hehe."

"Kuhehehe."

I had a hard time dreaming last night, and it was the perfect way to warm up a little in preparation for the combat class that would follow.

"Then I'll take charge of the front of the canter course, and you turn around and block those who try to escape."

It seems that Hercules was planning to engage in standard hand-to-hand combat like he had done up until now.

I didn't think it was a good idea to hunt in such an open area.

"I have an idea. Listen."

At my gesture, Hercules bent down his large body and put his ear to me.

When I told him the strategy I had in mind, he clapped and nodded as if he was satisfied.

"As expected, it was a good idea to suggest it to you."

"For your information, what is on the menu for breakfast today?"

"Kikeon and lamb salad made by Kariklo's mother. Even one pot of mother's kikeon is not enough. "How delicious it is."

If so, I feel even more motivated.

As Hercules and I stood up with deep smiles, the sun was slowly burning over the coastline.

"...Huh?"

But in the middle of the bright sun, something caught my eye.

For a moment I thought it was a bird, but for some reason I had a feeling that it was not a bird but something else.

Because it's towards the sun, it's hard to stimulate my eyesight, so I can't look at it properly...

-Whoop!

"Oh? "Is there a function like this?"

As soon as I placed the bet to boost my eye strength, the magic magic strengthened my eye strength along with the bet, as if I was wearing sunglasses.

Thanks to this, despite the strong sunlight, I was able to observe the strange flying object flying towards me with its back to the sun.

"...Holy shit."

Despite the new ways to use Shinmagi, I couldn't stand Chimeumseong.

This was because I caught sight of a handsome man running towards me, leading a carriage shining brightly like the sun.

◈ Chapter 63 - There Is No Law That Tells You to Just Die.

Unlike his appearance after leaving the temple, Apollo was not a foolish god.

No matter how much Artemis has a fierce temper, she doesn't see anything once she looks away, and is basically an immature younger sister who has a strong tendency to look down on others (even men).

Still, God is God.

If you saw the blood of the moon goddess who spent her eternal years hunting, you would have guessed that an unusual secret was hidden.

Being a hunter means observing the type of prey before going hunting.

Knowing that the young believer that Poseidon and Ares had been so proud of was his opponent made him act even more cautiously.

He thought about asking Hermes, but he said that not only Queen Hera but also her father Zeus were moved by the child's poetry and expressed interest in him.

If he reported this to Hermes, he might be in trouble.

'First of all, we need information.'

First of all, he visited the temple in Delphi.

The Temple of Delphi, where numerous oracles and prophecies were made, was in charge of oracles by Dionysus and his priests from the cold winter to early spring, and he was in charge from the rest of the year from spring to late fall.

From what I heard, it was only a few days ago that a guy named Dianes hurt his sister, so if he had such extraordinary power, he must have had an oracle, big or small, related to it.

However, from his recollection, he had never given an oracle regarding a child named Dianes, so he wanted to check if there was a related oracle among Dionysus's oracles.

"...What? Dionysus!?"

"Yes! "He left on his way a few days ago, saying that you need to prepare for the banquet as soon as possible!"

However, the temple of Delphi was empty when we arrived by bus before dawn.

As expected, the temple of Delphi, overflowing with wine bottles and grape vines, was thought to be a god who made prophecies while intoxicated.

His believers who were cleaning up were startled by the sudden appearance of their god and bowed down to worship.

All Apollo could do was hold his head in a situation that had gone astray from the start.

"Like this..."

I can't believe the unexpected behavior of a drunken traveler happens again this time.

He even emptied the Delphi temple by taking away all of his believers and the personnel responsible for managing the temple.

"It's a really good product as long as you don't drink alcohol."

What can I do? It is said that the god of alcohol and intoxication performed his divine work.

Apollo shook his head and had to hastily leave the temple countless times.

"Tsk, things are going wrong."

Even if he is a sun god with the glory of the sun.

It was impossible to invade Chiron's sanctuary, which was recognized by the oath of Olympus.

In addition, Chiron was the teacher who taught the siblings bowing and hunting, and was the child of Cronus, like his father Zeus.

But that rude guy named Dianes became his disciple.

Isn't this a guy who looks like the goddess of fate is protecting him?

"Let's at least take a look at your face first."

It's time for dawn soon.

Raising the brilliance of the sun chariot to its maximum, he slowly rushed to the top of the sky and began to gradually illuminate the land of Greece.

"Let me see, it's over there."

The small forest of Messenia visible below.

Whenever his carriage started to accelerate, he could see the little heroes running around in a hurry.

But among them, there was a child standing alone and staring at the sun.

"Hoo...! "There was such a beautiful child!?"

Shiny black hair, jet-black eyes like jade.

His body was full of vitality, and his face as he looked up proudly at the sun was so beautiful, as if he were looking at the sons of Aphrodite.

"You are Dianes!"

I should have even looked into my sister Artemis when she said she was pretty.

Look at those longing eyes that proudly look up at the sun.

"Ah... What a pity!"

For such a minor hero, she was the enemy who opposed his sister and even gave her her scars.

Apollo could not help but sigh at the fate of the little hero, who could easily be said to be another work of art in this world.

"But fortunately, death will not befall you today. But I will pay the price for harming my sister, the Moon Goddess, the Huntress of Purity...

"The prophet who defeated Python, the master of Delphi, prophesy."

Until then, enjoy your short life to the fullest.

Apollo spoke to the young cow hero on the ground, and he began driving the sun again.

After all, there is no being in this world who can avoid the sun.

* * *

What.

Why did you just go?

Even after finishing breakfast and heading to class, I still couldn't understand it.

The handsome man running through the sky with the sun on his back was clearly Apollo.

As for the sun god, he is definitely the top tier in Greek mythology.

'You definitely saw me...?'

I thought that once you turn your eyes, the Greek gods are bound to make oaths, are foolish, and cannot see anything, so I thought they would attack Chiron's forest and say that their sister was hurt.

He glared at me for a moment, muttered something, then got back into his carriage, gained altitude, and disappeared.

"Wow... It's easier to fool yourself if you attack me."

Judging from his reaction, it is clear that he knows who I am when he sees me.

As Hermes said, it was clear that Lightnyeon was strict and whined at her brother.

"But you just left..."

I don't know if this is good news or bad news.

One thing is certain: the sun god in the sky clearly saw me.

In other words, I am in a dangerous situation where I don't know if an orbital bomb may come at any time.

'First of all, even though I could shoot an arrow at any time, I just took a look and went. First of all, Apollo has no intention of violating Chiron's sanctuary, which means there is still time.'

However, that is still just a hypothesis.

If Moonlight Lightyeon whines and gets a medal from her brother, then the Sunshine Road Roller might actually fall on her head.

We had to solve Hermes' riddle as quickly as possible.

"Let's at least pray to God and Goddess."

There's something I've been feeding(?) For a while.

Still, wouldn't it help prevent people from unknowingly dying from sunlight?

"Well, I'm so dirty, I need to get my martial arts skills back quickly."

I'm always covered with divine magic and have a strong spirit, so if it's a sudden sniper, it definitely won't hurt me.

However, if such a sniper shot fell like an artillery barrage in an instant, I had no choice but to be pushed back.

'If only it somehow falls to the ground...'

"Hey Dianes!"

"Huh?"

As I was immersed in contemplation, a loud voice suddenly called out to me, as if it had boiled down to a train firebox.

"Why are you so dazed? "Are you feeling sleepy because you ate so much?"

After eating my fill of barley porridge and salad made by Chariklo in private with Hercules, I was on my way to my first class.

Atalanta, with a determined expression on her face, came out to visit her hunting party even before her morning canter.

Neri, who was trying to cling to me at this opportunity, was caught by Chariklo, who exuded an irresistible force, and went to class.

Naturally, only Hercules and I, whose class schedules overlapped, were on our way to take a strange class called jar science.

"I guess so. "I had a really weird dream last night and had a bad night's sleep."

"Dream?"

"Well, that's right."

Well, I can't say that the sun in the sky is always trying to attack me.

This ordeal is one that only I can endure.

Even so, my years of life and my pride as a spiritual elder were too high for me to whine to a brat with a bad life story.

Even so, after going from a human to a god, I had under my command a martial arts army in the central plains that was several times larger than the landmass of Greece, and even the emperor was arrogant.

If you can't overcome the sun's toughness, the years will end in tears.

"Looking like this, his strategy and tactics and study skills were at a high level."

Hercules and I entered the ceramics classroom, monologuing that we wanted to solve the mystery of Hermes as soon as possible and lead a peaceful life at the academy.

To be honest, I just wanted to go to a place like a library and look through myths instead of going to class.

Still, as a student who felt like I had to attend class, I walked away with a heavy sense of duty.

"But what on earth are you learning in ceramics class?"

"Haha. You'll know once you hear it. "You can look forward to it."

"Expectation?"

A guy who seems to have no interest in art would say something like looking forward to it.

Is this a special class?

Without saying anything more, Hercules sat down in his seat and motioned to me.

"First of all, there is a lot to see."

"Right? "All of this was made by the ceramics teacher here."

"This much?"

The pottery decorated with all kinds of mythological stories and love stories, and the storage jars called amphoras were of such great quality that even to my discerning eye, they were quite high-quality items.

But all these items were made by one person?

"Uuuuu... Wow, it's heavy..."

"Ah! "The teacher has arrived."

A large amphora was floating right in front of where we were sitting.

I wondered if this was some kind of magic, but when I looked closely, I saw that a small girl was carrying an amphora the size of her body, hugging it from car to car.

"Is not it cute? "I'm Teterir, a teacher of jar science."

"Master Teterir! At least Teterir! Please call me! And not pots, but pottery!"

The pot, or rather the pottery teacher, gets angry behind the pottery at the title of Hercules.

Even with their friendly jokes, I couldn't say anything.

It was because of the picture on the pottery that Teterir brought with him.

"Hey, teacher?"

"Why are you crying? Freshman?"

"Well, what is the story about the picture on the pottery?"

"Ah~ For this~"

The picture on the pottery was simple.

A picture of a small baby sitting on a large herd of cows playing a lyre, and in front of him a handsome, familiar man appreciating the sound of the lyre.

Normally, I would have passed it over as it was just a common mythological story.

The Latin words engraved on the top of the picture caught my eye.

"Born alone, become a god alone?"

"Oh! "This is a new work. Do you like it?"

Teterir carefully placed the ceramics on the desk and said loudly with his mouth.

"Today's new work, a witty man who gets a new job, is the latest in the Hermes series!"

"Haha..."

Wow... There's no way to just die.

I couldn't help but laugh bitterly in admiration and bewilderment at the answer to the riddle that appeared in such an unexpected place.

◈ Chapter 64 - About 10 Years in Short
