Chapter 23: The Odyssey

For Rika Fujimaru, the world-famous Greek mythology, she is, of course, - not very well understood.

Not to mention the famous Olympus XII, Odysseus doesn't know much about him.

So, Yagi introduced her to Odysseus in a different way.

"Let's put it this way, Odysseus's deeds are written in the Odyssey."

"Ahh Assassin's Creed and Ragnarok?! ”

"Can we not think of the Odyssey and think of the game first!"

Odysseus himself watched the two of them skillfully play with meme, and stood inexplicably.

So, Yagi simply explained the story of the Odyssey to him.

This is the story that revolves around the famous Trojan War.

Achilles, Ajax, Hector, these heroes came out at this time.

And Alexander in later years was an avid fan of theirs.

There is a famous work in history called Homer's epic poem, which is divided into two chapters, the Iliad and the Odyssey.

Hearing this, Fujimaru Tachimi thought to himself: How good it would be if you were from the Iliad! I've read the Iliad well! Yes...... Speaking of which...... It seems that there is indeed a name similar to Odysseus in it? Not...... It's all because you Greeks have strange names! I don't have an illustration yet, so how can I remember it!

Rikka is mentally making a very unreasonable critique of Odysseus.

After silently listening to Yagi's description, Odysseus nodded: "I see, am I such a man." Just as I remembered. So, the woman I'm looking for is Penelope. I will definitely come back to her. ”

"Well, I'm sure you'll be fine. Until then, though. ”

Yagi Yukisai said, his face sank, and with the holy sword in his hand, he aimed at Odysseus's ribs and poked it. Strangely, Odysseus didn't dodge, and let the blade of his sword pierce through the armor, through the skin, and stab out from behind.

This sword stabbed very partially, and it didn't hurt the vital position, but it hurt badly. Odysseus snorted and took two deep breaths to ease the pain. Yagi drew his sword and shook off the blood from it.

"This sword was stabbed for Kerke."

"Is that so. You are such a gentle person. Same as I judged. ”

Odysseus was obviously stabbed, but he still gave such an evaluation to Yagi.

"Uhhhh

Yagi had goosebumps all over his body and shook his head to avoid him.

Why did Odysseus pick him up at the main gate? He noticed that after Yagi heard that his name was Odysseus, his demeanor changed visibly, with a certain anger.

Odysseus had seen many angry people, but Yagi's anger fluctuated differently than theirs, to the point that it was more akin to Achilles during the Trojan War. His anger is not for himself, but for others.

After listening to his description of the story of the Odyssey, Odysseus was even more certain of this feeling. When he describes himself, his words become sharp, which is an expression of his attitude.

Therefore, in order to calm his anger and keep the team from falling apart, Odysseus judged that it would be best for him to take the initiative to withstand the other party's blow. He is not the kind of person who does not care about the overall situation, and will definitely choose an attack that hurts, but will not hurt his vital points.

And...... A man who would be angry enough to wield a sword for the sake of others, Odysseus didn't hate it.

After that, he said the name Circe. Although Odysseus had no impression of the name at all, after listening to the description, he also spent a whole year with her on a desert island...... Odysseus just wondered why he would do this, unless Circe said that he would not give himself advice to sail, otherwise he would never be on a desert island for her.

However, the point is not the facts, nor what you think, but what Yagi thinks. Probably, in his eyes, he is a man who obviously has a loving wife but is still inappropriate with other women. And...... From his mention of Circe's demeanor fluctuated...... Is this person Circe's husband or lover?

Odysseus quickly sorted out this vein in his mind. The wound had healed, and as he remembered his true name, even the Noble Phantasm was freed.

"Guys, I remember. My job manager is a rider, so if you don't mind, I'll use my mount to get on the road. Fly over the sea. ”

Speaking of Odysseus's famous deeds, he was probably favored by Athena, or was it a Trojan horse, right?

Considering the rider, he himself mentions the mount, that is...... Horses? Or a chariot?

It's a pity that Yagi watched the Odyssey because he wanted to understand the Circe in it, and didn't pay much attention to the content of Odysseus.

In fact, this is a typical preconceived notion. Because he became friends with whoever he was with first, he regarded the person who was hostile to him as a bad person.

For example, Medea. Because she came to Chaldea very early, everyone more or less knows what kind of person this great witch is, and they will feel that Iason, who made Medea so miserable at that time, was a villain. However, in fact, Yi Asong is indeed not a good person, but at least he has the shining point of a hero, and he can be regarded as a hero of ordinary people, right?

And then there's ...... Circe. Because Yagi has a good impression of Circe, although he is not prepared to treat her as his wife - as he himself said, after all, the Heroic Spirits will return to Valhalla, and the deeper the bond now, the more uncomfortable it will be when they parte - but he still puts Circe in a very important place in his heart. Naturally, Odysseus, who had hurt her deeply, was not very optimistic.

Because Yagi hadn't read Odysseus's biography carefully, he wouldn't have known......

Odysseus's treasure is the Great Trojan Horse of Troy.

So, now let's sort out the Trojan horses.

It was a very famous deed, in short, there were many soldiers hidden in the belly of a huge horse. In other words, think of the Trojan Horse as a mount, rather as a vehicle.

Well, what follows is well understood.

"Aegis Connection - Treasure Hangar Connection - Trojan Horse! Launch! ”

Odysseus, with a face as steel, raised his right hand and looked at the blue sky, where a dazzling blue light pierced through the sky like a sharp blade and landed on the island in front of everyone.

With the violent sound of trees and turf being crushed, accompanied by a heavy impact, a steel horse with a whole body of silver and white appeared in front of everyone! The belly space alone can accommodate at least thirty or forty warriors.

It's conceivable, not to mention the Trojans, whoever sees this thing will think about getting it back!!

It's like a beast-shaped robot that appears in the anime!

"What! It's not wood at all! ”

Fujimaru Rika complained sharply. Odysseus shook his head apologetically: "Sorry to disappoint you." This is a special case, so let's let you ride together. ”

As Odysseus spoke, a helmet was draped over his head, blocking his rock-like resolute face, and a wonderful magic power emanated from his armor, and everyone felt that the space around them changed, and the ground under their feet suddenly disappeared, and his body instantly became weightless, and he fell into the darkness.
