161 Ch. 161 Medea

( Yuto Pov )

* Bam! *

Jason kicked the door open.

" King Aeetes!!" Jason yelled as he walked into the throne room.

We all followed behind the idiot as he gallantly walked through the door.

The soldiers unsheathed their swords and spears when they noticed the gaurds lying on the ground behind us.

The Argonauts did as well as I unsheathed Mahiru-no-yo.

As much as it is amusing to see Jason die from his stupidity, I already gave him my word to help him.

Unless he does something stupid, like betray me, of course I wouldn't mind ruining the smirk of his.

" If it isn't Jason and the famous Argonauts." The King spoke as he gestured for his soldiers to stay.

Atalanta and I scanned the room.

It wasn't until I lanes on the prince and princess.

The prince held his hand over his sword as the princess looked calm.

I noticed the large amount of mana that came from her, so I solely focused on her.

I felt Atalantas glare on me as I turned my attention towards her.

She gave me a glare before I looked at the princess and back at her.

With my eyes, I told him it wasn't like that.

Bullshit was what I read from her eyes.

I just stared at her with a ' really?' face.

She shook her head as she ignored me and focused back on scanning the room.

I just sighed and kept my guard up around the princess.

' Never know what magic she will use agasint us.' I thought I tightened my grip.

"Hoh? How fun, look at these people. You could easily kill them, funny how they think they have a chance, come on! spill some blood!" Mahiru spoke excitedly into my ear behind me.

I ignore her remarks.

" Boo!~~"

My fingers twitched before reminding myself I couldn't cut her.

' Iris, turn on Gamers mind.' I spoke to Iris.

< Yes, Sir.> She replied.

[ Gamers mind activated ]

" Noo!~ My fun time!~" Mahiru shouted before disappearing from my head.

As I kept my focus on the princess, she also focused on me as well without giving a glance towards Jason.

We both locked eyes for a moment before our attention was focused on the king.

* Bam! *

" Fine!" The King shouted angrily.

" If you really want the fleece so badly, you will earn it!!" He shouted as he stood up.

Seeing the smirk on Jason's face, I knew he used his mouth to make the king angry on purpose for this chance.

" But you! only you alone must earn it!!" The King declared as pointed down at Jason.

" Eh!?" Jason made a stupid face as I heard his world shatter.

I snickered.

" This is going to be fun." I leaned and whispered to Atalanta.

Atalanta smirked and nodded.

/// Bringing you a chibi Jason going through a life crisis.///

An hour later, Jason was grabbing my cloak as he begged.

" Yuto! Can you do that transformation!! I don't want to die!!" Jason begged.

" Sigh, for the last time you brought this upon yourself, now you have to face the consequences." I spoke.

" But we have a deal!" Jason replied.

" That deal was to keep you alive, yes. But if you fail to get the fleece, I won't either, which means the deal is off once you die." I responded as I pushed Jasom from me.

" Don't you want the golden fleece?" Jason asked.

" After everything we have been through, the lost of people, friends, and comrades was the only thing I wished for back. I have never cared for the golden fleece." I coldly looked down at Jason.

" Wait, you are giving the golden fleece to Yuto? After everything we have done for you, you are going to give it to someone else?" Orpheus stepped forward.

Jason paused as he looked at the argonaughts.

" So all this was but a waste of time?" Castor spoke.

Pollux nodded with her brother.

Jason was pushed to the corner as the Argonauts demanded an answer.

It was then I noticed his arua change as he stood up proudly.

I leaned against the wall with my arms crossed as Atalanta looked at me.

" You planned that, didn't you?" She questioned.

" Don't know what you are talking about?" I shrugged as I watched the possibility manipulation play out.

I noticed the golden ribbon surrounding Jason fading to calm the Argonaughts down as he used his luck.

' Jason has the gods as his backing, especially Aphrodite. I'm sure she'll interfere in this bet between the king and Jason. But who will she manipulate? the king? the prince? the Argonauts? or the princess?' The last one seemed more plausible the more I think about it.

With parallel thought, I came to the conclusion that Aphrodite will use her charm on the princess to side with Jason.

" I'm going out." I said to Atalanta.

" You can't. They have the gaurds keeping an eye on this room." Atalanta spoke.

" Do you honestly think they could keep me here?" I asked.

" Can't they?" Atalanta tilted her head.

" Wanna find out?"

Before she could react, I teleported out of the room, leaving a charismatic Jason convince the argonaughts to his side agasin.

Atalanta sighed before narrowing her eyes at Jason with suspicion.

I was outside on top of the castle, watching the scene in the room before exploring.

* Swoosh *

Landing close by a shrine, I noticed it being guarded by flame bulls and a dragon.

' Dragon mana, not powerful like the others, so this one must still be young.' I thought as I scanned the huge doors.

' Don't know what lies beyond that door except the dragon. Especially a shrine of some god or goddess.' I concluded as I calmly walked towards the bulls.

* Snort! *

The flaming bulls snorted once I got close.

[ Animal whisperer activated ]

The bulls calmed down as I scanned them.

As I reached my hand towards their noses, I was stopped by a voice.

" They are dangerous. They could bite your hand off." I looked at the princess who cautiously approached toward my direction.

" Bulls are reckless. that is a given, but in the end, are mother nature's creations." I said as I petted them.

' Shiro.' I it was then I missed my cat back at home.

The Princess chuckled as she slowly approached.

" Maybe you are right. When I was little, my brother save me from them from biting my hand off." She smiled.

" Yuto." I said as I stopped petting the bulls.

" Medea. Daughter of King Aeetes." She elegantly bowed, and I returned one with a hand to my heart.

" Qre you perhaps of noble birth?" She questioned as she noticed my graceful movement.

I sometimes forget I have this passive skill.

" You could say I'm a descended of a clan." I replied.

" And the mask?" She continued as the distance closed between us.

" A gift from a brother of mine."

" I see." She smiled as we locked eyes.

" I could see the sorrow in your eyes when you mention your brother. I'm sorry I brought it up." She apologized.

" No, it's alright, though I must ask? why the interrogation?" I replied.

Medea had a surprised face before chuckling.

" I'm curious about you outsiders, and I want to hear the stories of your travels." She explained.

" Too bad I don't feel like sharing." I spoke before walking off."

" Sigh. too bad I wasn't going to tell my father one of you snuck out of the room without his knowledge." I looked back to her as she smiled mischievously.

" Sigh, fine."

/// Bringing you a chibi Medea enjoying Chibi Yutos stories. ///

A couple of hours later, I landed on top of the balcony and scouted the room to see the Argonauts sleeping on the floor and Jason on the bed.

" Had fun?" Atalanta spoke as she leaned over the railing.

I shrugged.

" Eh, I saw some cool animals." I said before walking into the room and sleeping on the floor using Pelues as a pillow.

* Plop*

" Ugh, no, I'm too full." Pelues muttered.

I made myself comfortable as I was getting ready to sleep.

A few seconds later, I looked at Atalanta.

" Can't sleep?" I ask.

" Sigh, I wonder if... if this is all worth it." She replied.

" If you ask me it isn't, making a Jason as a king has its bad ending I could feel it. But that's the end of the journey. But now, just enjoy the ride." I said.

" Maybe you are right. But...." She didn't finish.

" But what?" I asked.

" My home."

" The forest or your birthplace?"

" My birthplace. Maybe after all this, I want to go back." She spoke.

I looked at her like she was crazy.

Atalanta rolled her eyes.

" Feeling homesick or just want to visit because it was where your mother lived?"

" My mother." She replied.

" I see. Amd your Father? I bet he won't miss this chance to give you a way to make an heir."

"I know. Do you think you will come back with me?"

" Sure, but I don't want no responsibility as a king." I replied.

"Sigh, not that way beside I can't marry anyone with my loyalty to the Goddess."

I closed my eyes and nodded.

" I know, I know. We should get some sleep, here use Pelues, his stomach is quite comfy." I chuckled.

Atalanta deadpanned at me.
