I Will Eventually Embark On The Path Of No Return Called A Hero - 29. Ask Your Heart

---

Artemis, the white-haired cow, is Zeus' favorite daughter.

Cyd vaguely remembered the first time he met her, and his intuition told him not to have a relationship with her, even if he did, it should be enough as just acquaintances.

So, Cyd refused almost without hesitation when Hermes mentioned the name Artemis, but his pleas worked to no avail.

"The angry Artemis threw a wild boar to punish them because they forgot to offer their sacrifices," Cyd curled his lips, "Isn't it a wild boar?"

He always thought that Artemis was just joking about this matter. How big can a wild boar be? A country can't handle a wild boar?

"Indeed, that wild boar is underage," Hermes gestured.

"So please don't look for me? There are a lot of people willing to do this kind of showy thing," Cyd put his hands together.

"But Artemis asked you to go by name~" Hermes patted Cyd's shoulder with a face he didn't expect, "I'm also very heartbroken that you are going to be involved, but unfortunately I'm just an errand runner."

"Why do I need to solve this for someone when the punishment given can be lowered?" Cyd said with his twitching mouth.

"After all, life has to live, and it wouldn't be fun if that country was toppled, and letting her take back the boar would make her talkative, so... trouble, hero," Hermes said with a shining smile and thumbs up, "Trust me, this is a sure-fire deal..."

"No," Cyd hugged the boat pole on one side.

"Really, the blessing of not lying to you will also work for me," Hermes touched his chin, "As expected of me!"

"If you want to find someone you can find Ata, she'll be happy," Cyd shook his head defiantly.

"Don't you understand? You've already stood at the gods' bet," Hermes shook his head helplessly, "Immortal body, Prometheus' guidance, half-centaur's martial arts, The trial you have achieved is impossible! You are already a destined hero for the gods, and what kind of hero can you become? The gods have been looking forward to it."

Cyd looked towards his left wrist, the crystallization of dark green exuding faint rays of light. This time Hermes did not lie, and there is no need to lie, maybe he, a soul that does not belong to this world, can't live an ordinary life from the very beginning.

"Do you understand now?" Hermes tilted his head.

"This blessing..." Cyd pointed to the crystal representing Hermes' blessing on his left wrist, "Even I can't lie to myself, right?"

"Yeah ~ why don't you just ask yourself, what do you want to do," Hermes pointed to Cyd's heart, "the gods won't interfere with your choices, but we're looking forward to what you'll end up being like. "

"I... as expected..." Cyd opened his mouth, but he couldn't say the ordinary life he had been thinking about all the time.

Hermes looked at Cyd calmly.

"Sure enough, I still want to be a happy person," Cyd raised his hands in resignation.

Why on earth would he avoid those heroes and goddesses?

Because most of the heroes have unfortunate endings, and almost all of the people involved with Hercules died, it is difficult to have a relationship with Goddess, because It would probably be unfortunate to get involved with them.

"Well~ it's an ordinary answer beyond what the gods expected," Hermes patted his forehead, "That's fine, you just need to be yourself, people who are tied up are definitely not happy. It doesn't matter if you avoid the crisis, because people who face the crisis often die quickly, so..."

Hermes reached out to Cyd.

"Come and beat the Calydonian Boar!"

"So you'll hit me in the face right away!"

"You said it yourself, Piggy can do it with his fingertips," Hermes curled his lips.

"I've never said these words!"

"Almost, but it's hard, to tell the truth, is it really okay to just give up?"

"I will never be happy to beat that Calydonian Boar," Cyd said as the corner of his mouth was twitching.

"You will be unfortunate if you don't go," Hermes whispered into Cyd's ear, "Don't forget, my elder sister has a strong sense of revenge if you reject her... ...Maybe you will be remembered."

"It feels like...my future is bleak..."

"Well, the harder the road to the dream, the sweeter the fruit of success, and this is the only one I can assure you, when you [really] complete this bracer you will get the fruit called a miracle," Hermes skimmed.

With no more choice, Cyd jumped off the boat, "I'm looking forward to what kind of miracle this is."

"Do the gods like to talk in circles like this?" Cyd curled his lips and sat on the ground.

"That's right! Poseidon asked me to tell you something," Hermes stuck his head out, "Don't stay on this wreck!"

"Don't worry, I'd love to get off the boat sooner. But wait... What?," Cyd covered his face.

It looks like Poseidon is among those in the game who don't think Jason can make the journey, at least not on Jason and the others' side after they beat his son.

"You talk too much."

"What does it matter~" Hermes hummed with his hands behind his head and avoided the attack from his back.

"It's a big deal," the figure lightly snorted and withdrew the fist after finding that the attack had been dodged, "Goddess of Fate once predicted that Pure Son of Man would become a great beloved by the gods' hero, and now you're hinting at his bracer... Forget it, I hope you remember that the gods won't interfere with his choices."

"So~ I just let him throw himself away. It's just the confusion, instead of letting him go to the Calydonian Boar with confusion, it is better to let him firm up his beliefs, although he still has to go to the Calydonian Boar~" Hermes grinned and looked towards the tall red-haired Onee-san who was wearing armor behind him.

"But it's really weird~ Why do you care so much about a human being who is not so warlike~ After all, that prophecy doesn't affect the gods at all, we just observe it as usual, even if it comes out, For example, he suddenly realizes that he can have a normal life by doing nothing, but it doesn't really matter, my elder sister Ares."

"I'm just curious," Ares put her arms around her chest, "How on earth is he going to get blessings from me? Before that, I won't allow him to give up this matter with a few words from you."

"A woman's curiosity... eh eh! It's dangerous! Yes!"

Hermes dodged Ares' annoyed punch with a roll.

"Don't worry, if it's the only thing to back him down..." Hermes flicked his helmet, "It's something he won't do it."
