Chapter 30. Farewell to The Argo

I Will Eventually Embark On The Path Of No Return Called A Hero - 30. Farewell to The Argo

---

The heroes come back and bringing back the victory.

But in Cyd's eyes, what they brought back was a disaster.

"Cheers heroes! We've defeated the giants and saved the people here!" Jason held his glass in front of the bonfire.

Cyd and Atalanta looked at each other and came to the other side of the boat.

"I'll be off the boat soon, probably on the next island," Cyd said casually.

Atalanta froze for a moment, subconsciously clenching her fists.

"En."

"I want you to leave with me."

"Is this an order?" Atalanta tilted her head, greenish-blue hair fluttering slowly in the sea breeze.

"Would you listen if it was an order?" Cyd held out his hand to Atalanta as if joking.

Atalanta took a deep look at Cyd, then grabbed Cyd's hand.

"Ah~ I'm so touched, but unfortunately I won't order you," Cyd let go of Atalanta's hand and faced the sea, "I'm going to Calydon. There's a wild boar Artemis-sama had thrown there, and I'm going to deal with it."

"That's not really what you would say," Atalanta rested her hands on the railing, half-squinted enjoying the sea breeze.

"It really doesn't look like what I said, but~ occasionally I also want to be in the limelight," Cyd stretched, "I figured out something."

No matter what. He'd go to Calydon if he wanted to, and rather than being forced to go, he'd rather go there with his chest up.

"Are you finally thinking about being a hero?" Atalanta's eyes lit up slightly.

"Well~ even if I really want to be a hero... you definitely won't be like them," Cyd curled his lips.

"I'll shoot you in the head with my bow if you become a hero like them," Atalanta raised her hand and poked Cyd in the head.

"Really reliable."

Second day.

"That's it, the journey was so hard that I, as an ordinary person, couldn't keep up with you, so I decided to quit the journey on the next island," Cyd patted Hercules' shoulders.

"I'm the captain," Jason said as the corner of his mouth was twitching.

"Huh? You'd be able to get here without Hercules as your fuel bottle?" Unusually, Cyd showed his disdain for Jason unceremoniously.

Although Cyd from the very beginning thought so, because Jason is the favored person of the gods, and Athena values him very much, so I never put it on the surface to say it, but I watched Athena last time. It sounds like the gods... They don't care about Jason so much when they found someone more interesting.

"You..." Jason stared at him wide-eyed. It is unimaginable for him except that it was a bit surprising at first, and after that, Cyd, who has always been ordinary, will refute him, although what he said is the truth, but if he does not stand up He couldn't continue to lead the group of heroes, "In the name of the gods, I'm going to fight you..."

And then Jason was stopped by Hercules before he could finish his sentence.

"Enough Jason, you can't beat him," Hercules pressed Jason's shoulders.

"What are you talking about? He's just a little smart ordinary person, I'm..." Jason stared wide-eyed, "Hero!"

"Sorry, Jason. Cyd too is Chiron-sensei's dísciple," Hercules bitterly laughed, "Right? Sensei taught senior and junior brothers who never appeared."

"Discovered?" Cyd tilted his head.

"Well, vaguely aware of that," Hercules scratched the back of his head.

He couldn't say that Chiron once said when he set off that if he met a young man with snow-white hair and skin, he must get along well with him or something.

"So what? I'm also an excellent dísciple from Chiron-sensei," Jason clenched his fists reluctantly.

"Big hero, you were chased out of the island by a group of women before you even put on your pants," Cyd said quietly.

"Cough, Cyd, please say a little less," Hercules coughed a few times, "Would you like me to escort you when you reach the next island?"

"No, don't you have more important things to do?" Cyd gave a thumbs up, "If you can't stand it, just leave, even a close friend is enough to do this step."

Countless tic-tac-toe exploded on Jason's head, and the nerve in his head called rationality was already in a state of exploding at any time, especially after noticing the way the heroes around him were talking.

"Cyd get off my boat immediately!"

Hercules was stunned, and the other heroes stopped talking and looked at Jason blankly.

"This is my ship, since you don't want to stay here, get off this ship immediately," Jason looked at Cyd coldly.

"It's at sea..." Hercules clenched his fists.

"Ah~ it doesn't matter," Cyd patted Hercules' shoulder, "I can't sink."

"Huh?"

"Well~ I have the blessing of the sea god on my body, I can walk on the sea," Cyd raised his left wrist, the crystals of cyan seemed to be urging Cyd to keep flashing rays of light.

"You're an amazing person," Hercules smiled heartily.

"So~ I'm going one step ahead," Cyd waved and winked at Atalanta, signaling her goodbye in Calydon.

"I'll go with you," but Atalanta walked over to him as if she couldn't see Cyd's eyes.

"Sister, can you walk on the sea?" Cyd patted his forehead.

"No." Atalanta denied it quite simply.

"Then how do you want me to take you with you?"

"It's decided," Atalanta nods.

"Huh?"

"Carry me."

"Hmmm, great," Hercules patted Cyd's shoulder.

"I... Come," Cyd sighed crouched down with his back to Atalanta.

Atalanta hesitated for a moment before pressing on Cyd's back, pinching Cyd's collar with both hands, and crossing her slender legs in front of Cyd's body.

Atalanta whispered in Cyd's ear the moment Cyd got up.

"If you dare to touch me, I'll bite your neck."

Atalanta's voice was soft like a whisper between lovers, but to Cyd the voice was different. The feeling of cold air falling up.

"If we are fated we will meet again later," Hercules moved towards Cyd and waved.

"Hercules, I've always believed that you're going to be a great hero," Cyd smiled and jumped off The Argo.

"I also believe," Hercules put down his hand, "You will be a better hero than me."
