45 Medea's joint proposal
"Ahem...... Yicheng-kun, you already know the general situation, and then I have a proposal-
How about you join forces with Soichiro-sama? ”
After recovering from the heavy and painful memories, Medea, the "witch of betrayal", pretended to cough with some embarrassment, and then naturally asked Yanagito Kazunari to form an alliance.
Although her MASTER, Soichiro Katsukidi, is a strange person who is indifferent and robotic, but before she arrived, the Yanagito family had already become friends with such a strange person, and even regarded him as a member of the family, so there is no reason why Yanagito Issei, who was just driven to the shelves, should not join forces with his "Soichiro brother"!
"Humph! I don't want to join forces with a woman who hides her head and tail!
Since you claim to be a contemporary of ours, it is all the more time before you show your true colors, after all, Orion and I both have enemies. If you are Apollo, Aphrodite, Hera, Sister Pullaeades, Meroper...... Or someone who has a relationship with them, you yourself know how I will treat you, right? ”
Artemis, who had been holding Orion, who had turned into a bear cub and not letting him go too far, suddenly pouted and said his opinion before Yanagito Kazunari, who seemed to have some intention to agree to Caster's proposal.
Although the seemingly brainless goddess Artemis did at times...... It's a little weird, but she's still very awake when her brain isn't out of line. Even if her words and deeds seem to be nothing more than spontaneous, she also happened to choose the most correct path because of the intuition of the goddess of hunting.
"Huh...... Again, this is something I don't think about. But rest assured, I have nothing to do with your enemies, and in some ways I have a relationship with you.
Anyway, after we join forces, you may be able to guess my identity through my magic and treasures, so I might as well show you sincerity. Take the initiative to explain where you came from now. ”
Under Artemis' slightly hostile candid gaze, Caster, wrapped in a hooded cloak, chuckled indifferently twice before finally lifting his hat.
Maybe it's because she hasn't revealed her true face in front of others for a long time, her eyes are a little lowered, but not as shy as a girl.
"Huh...... Your ears ......"
When Yanagito Kazunari saw the true face of Soichiro's brother's "new wife" for the first time, he was a little surprised by her long, pointed ears that looked like the elves of Western legends. But other than that, he felt that his "sister-in-law" looked clear-eyed, mature, and gentle...... It felt really unexpectedly good, and even he felt that it was a pity for such a good woman to marry Soichiro's brother, who was not much stronger than a robot.
"I am Medea, the former princess of Colchis, and my magic comes mainly from the Stygian Moon and Hecate, the goddess of magic.
And you, the goddess Artemis, when depicted in a gesture of holding the sacred fire. is considered to be the goddess Hekathe. ”
As a mature princess who should have passed the age of dreaming, Medea seems to be very good at socializing, and she actually got into a relationship with the goddess Artemis through the goddess Hecate. But even if she gave her name and origin, Yanagito Kazunari, who didn't know much about Greek mythology, didn't know who she really was, Colchis? Hecate? Medea? It's all words I've never heard of!
"Hecate...... Colchis ...... Medea? ”
Not only Yanagito Issei, although Caster has clarified his roots, but the noble goddess Artemis is still at a loss. However, she had heard of the country of Colchis before, but as a god, she had always been high, and it was only natural that she had no impression of a mere princess Colchis.
"Ahh Coe, Princess Medea of Colchis, that, that's not ......"
After a long silence. The first person to think of who Medea was was Orion, who had turned into a cub. However, this handsome and brave young hunter who seemed to hide the attributes of a big carrot and was handsome and brave to fascinate women involuntarily trembled when he mentioned Medea, and the face of the embarrassed bear showed indescribable fear, as if Medea was some extremely terrible monster. This made Yanagito Kazunari feel very confused.
"Yes, I am the 'witch of betrayal' Medea.
I once betrayed my father and used my magic to secretly help Iason accomplish the impossible and obtain the Golden Fleece he wanted. Then they eloped together.
My father sent my brother after us, so I killed him, dismembered him, and dumped him all over the mountain. Just to keep his father busy with the corpse and delay his pursuit.
After returning home with Iason, I used a trick to kill his uncle who had usurped the throne, but in exchange for his jealousy. When he had a new love, I killed the two sons born to him, killed his new love with poisoned clothes, and fled from him, causing him to die of depression! ”
"Sizzle......"
Before Orion could tell the "glorious deeds" of the "Witch of Betrayal" that he knew, Medea simply exposed her dark history herself. Her tone was rather indignant, but it was impossible for Yanato Kazunari to praise her loudly for a good job, but only gasped for her ruthlessness and viciousness.
There is Apollo in the front, and Medea in the back, there are too many vicious characters in Greek mythology! And Orion doesn't seem to be a single-minded infatuated man......
After listening to Medea's story, Yanagito Issei's impression of Greek mythology became worse and worse, and he even involuntarily drooped the corners of his mouth. Fortunately, he did not know that Artemis, who was extremely innocent and beautiful, had also mercilessly shot many of Niopa's children because of his mother's orders, and because the Calydonian king Onius had forgotten her share of the sacrifice when he sacrificed to the gods, he had sent the murderous Calydonian boar to trample his land, and because of his conflict with Aphrodite, he had instructed the boar to kill his favorite lover Adonis, otherwise he would have completely despaired of Greek mythology.
"Hah...... It turns out that you are that Medea, and I seem to have some impression of you.
Well...... Your plight is really sympathetic, but whether or not to join forces with you depends on the decision of Orion's master. ”
It wasn't until Medea revealed her ugliness that Artemis finally remembered who she really was. However, unlike the men's shuddering, she has an understanding and sympathetic attitude towards Medea's evil deeds such as killing her brother for love and treason, and madly taking revenge on her husband who changed her mind, and even does not exclude joining forces with her, which makes Yanagito Issei can't help but sigh in her heart that she is too kind.
