"She is the one I called. Is there a problem?"
Just as the gods happily ate lons on the side, and the grabbed Hers anxiously broke out in cold sweat.
Hephaestus's statent was undoubtedly heavenly music to Hers's ears.
Then, sitting in her wheelchair, Hephaestus turned around, gazed coldly at Hera, and said, "I am currently building a ship for that child Jason, so is there a problem with calling Goddess Hecate to help?
Or should I call you instead, Hera... However, if I rember correctly, Jason is not your child, but Hecate's, right?"
After Hephaestus spoke, the gods could not help but look at the stiffened Hera with extrely interested gazes.
At the sa ti, each inwardly spat in disdain.
As expected of Hephaestus, truly rciless toward Hera.
And facing Hephaestus's direct verbal assault, although Hera was so angry her chest heaved up and down, she had no way to deal with Hephaestus at all.
If it were Hecate, Hera would probably have already started cursing.
But Hephaestus was her own daughter.
Moreover, her own daughter who had left her with considerable psychological trauma...
"Hephaestus, must you do this?"
After a long while, the gradually calming Hera said with an extrely ugly expression.
"I have already guaranteed to that child, and also sworn my oath to the River Styx, that I will do my utmost to craft the world's finest ship for him."
At this point, Hephaestus paused slightly, then continued, "The one and only in the world, the Argo that not even the gods possess!"
"You, you must oppose , must you anger to death?!"
Hera truly could not endure hearing this and glared angrily at Hephaestus.
Because the gods all knew that Hera wanted to deal with Jason.
In response, Hephaestus naturally took her angry glare calmly.
And revealed... a slightly mocking smile, saying, "No, how would I dare? How would I dare oppose the noble Queen Hera?
You are the exalted queen above all. You are overthinking it."
With that said, Hephaestus ignored Hera no longer.
She turned back and continued her own work.
Hera looked at Hephaestus before her, who gave her no face at all, her own flesh-and-blood daughter.
Then at Hecate, who had been ignoring her all along, and the surrounding gods who were watching the show.
"You... you... all of you!" Anger, frustration, bitterness, and various negative emotions filled Hera's heart.
In the end, crystalline tears flowed from this queen's eyes under the shocked gazes of the gods.
Seeing this, even Hephaestus and Hecate could not help but be stunned.
And then Hera did not, as usual, leave any harsh words.
She turned, wiped her eyes, and left this place.
After she left, the scene fell silent for a long ti...
Hecate looked toward Hephaestus.
Hephaestus unhappily t Hecate's gaze and said, "What!"
Hecate said nothing and shrugged.
After all, this was their family matter, and Hecate naturally would not interfere, so she said nothing.
Then the gods looked at each other.
In the end, everyone's gazes unanimously fell on Athena, who had quietly hidden herself at so point.
"What are you all looking at for!"
Athena was very depressed and said, "Ares, why do you not go comfort her? Is she not your mother goddess?!"
"No way!" Ares replied exceptionally straightforwardly.
"I am not going either!" Athena rolled her eyes.
In this situation, going would clearly be asking for trouble!
"Athena, you have to go. Co on, be good."
The eldest Hestia stepped forward and said to Athena.
"Yes yes, Athena, go quickly."
Apollo also said to Athena.
"Go on, go on!"
Ares waved his hand, urging Athena to hurry.
Seeing their attitude of having decided to shove this hot potato onto her, Athena simply wanted to slap each of them in the face!
And just at this mont...
"Huh, was it not said that Hera returned?... Where is she?"
Artemis rode back on her golden-horned deer, looked at the slightly strange atmosphere before her, scanned the surroundings, and upon finding no sign of Hera, could not help but ask doubtfully.
"She already left... driven away by soone."
As Athena replied, her eyes were rolling, preparing to deceive Artemis when...
"Goddess Hera left?... Jason, did you hear? Take off the invisibility helt. She left!"
Artemis imdiately said to the air beside her.
This made Jason, who had originally planned to observe the situation a bit longer, reveal a helpless expression as he removed Hades's invisibility helt and appeared before the gods.
And regarding Jason's appearance, Athena was stunned for a mont before...
Hey, she suddenly smiled.
As if she had thought of sothing delightful.
At the sa ti, Hers beside her smiled upon seeing Jason appear.
And that smile clearly carried a bit of schadenfreude.
Evidently, at this mont, Hers and Athena were thinking along the sa lines again.
And seeing the smiles of these two, Jason's reaction was very honest. He suddenly shivered.
And imdiately cast pleading gazes toward Hecate and Hephaestus.
But unfortunately, Hephaestus's mood was not very stable now, so she did not notice.
As for Hecate, who did notice...
Hm? What are you saying? Hecate did not notice anything. No, no such thing.
...
So ti later,
Clad in white robes and wearing a mask, Jason, guided by the light.
With a deanor of wind whistling cold over the River, the hero departs never to return, arrived at the forest where Hera had hidden.
And beside a clear forest stream, he saw Hera sitting on a bluestone, covering her face and silently shedding tears.
Seeing this, Jason's ntality instantly shattered.
He was dumbfounded!
At the sa ti, he understood why the gods had delayed so much and ultimately unanimously and happily shoved the responsibility onto him, even Hestia and the others who usually doted on him endlessly.
To actually, actually make Queen Hera cry!
Heavens, who did it!
Teacher Hephaestus?... So fierce?!
Jason swallowed hard with difficulty.
In this instant, he truly had the urge to turn and flee.
To be reasonable, was this a scene a re mortal like him supposed to witness?
Were they really not afraid that once Hera's emotions recovered, to cover up this embarrassing mory, she would erase him completely from this world?!
This was not Jason being overly afraid; it was truly because of the face-saving nature of these Greek gods that such a possibility was too great.
Lightly, erase mories or gouge out eyes.
Severely, directly turn into another animal and erase existence from the world!
And just as Jason's heart drumd retreat and he itched to imdiately turn back to "amicably" greet Athena, Hers, and these unscrupulous gods...
"Who!" The Hera who sensed the gaze suddenly turned her head, casting a stern gaze toward the stiffened Jason.
And when she saw clearly who the cor was...
"Heracles?" Hera was stunned, then asked very puzzledly, "Why are you here?!"
"This... it is like this, respected Queen Hera. The goddess of wisdom, Athena, suddenly sent a divine oracle, informing that you are here."
With matters having co to this, Jason could only steel himself and proceed.
He dared not look at Hera, kept his head lowered, and said cautiously, "I heard Goddess Athena say that Teacher Hephaestus quarreled with you again.
She asked to co check on you..."
"Quarreled..." Hearing this, a bitter smile appeared on Hera's face.
Was that called quarreling?
Recalling Hephaestus's indifferent gaze toward her, those words devoid of any emotion.
Hera could not help but rember the warm scenes she had seen not long ago on Jason, in Jason's family.
No comparison, no harm.
This made Hera's expression even more dejected.
Hera was not stupid.
After experiencing this, Hera already knew quite well just how much her daughter Hephaestus hated her.
And before today, she had actually still delusionally thought of repairing their relationship and believed it would be an easy matter...
As Hera thought of these, her expression becoming increasingly forlorn.
"Um, great Goddess Hera, may I ask... did my teacher Hephaestus say sothing very excessive to you?"
With his head lowered, not looking at Hera, Jason said cautiously to her, "If so, please allow to apologize to you on behalf of my teacher."
"... You apologize to on her behalf?"
Hera smiled bitterly and said, "If you truly apologize to on her behalf, she will surely lose her temper at you... Forget it, child."
Hearing this, Jason's heart could not help but feel sowhat surprised.
He truly had not expected Hera to say such words.
Then, after the surprise, Jason continued, "But even so, I want to apologize to you on behalf of my teacher Hephaestus... After all, no matter what, you are her mother, the great Goddess Hera."
"... Even if it ans receiving punishnt from your teacher, angering her, you still want to apologize to on her behalf?"
"Yes, Goddess Hera." Jason nodded.
"Do you know what I once did to her?"
Jason hesitated for a while, then finally nodded and said, "I heard teacher ntion it."
"... You are a good child."
Finally, a faint smile appeared on Hera's face.
"Child, can you co over?"
Jason hesitated, then with his head lowered, without looking at Hera, ca before her.
Just as he arrived, Hera hugged Jason, burying herself in his embrace.
"Just for a while... child, just for a while."
"... O-okay." Jason replied stiffly, "Great Queen Hera..."
At the sa ti, he could not help but cry out in his heart.
Athena, Hers!!!
You have screwed over badly this ti!
