章節 15: Chapter 15: Jason and Thetis Part 1.
Anyway, the matter of the "beast" should end. Without delay, I took her on my shoulders and started walking back to the village. I "unintentionally" slapped her where her back lost its name to check if she was unconscious… Yeah, it is just because of that... It is not like I felt anything more than curiosity, ahem. Anyway, who am I explaining to...
To confirm that she was not faking it, I gave her one more blow. A cautious man is worth two.
As I walked towards the village, I heard a sound coming from the forest… I unconsciously threw one of the daggers towards a bush. Moments later, I could hear a screech of agony produced by a wild boar. To end the boar's suffering, I summoned a shadow clone to take care of it and bring it to the village.
After a few minutes, the shadow clone was carrying a boar on his shoulders. What I did not know was that this boar was the cause of the havoc in the village; without realizing it, I completed the village chief's task. At first, I could sense that it was running away from me. But due to the previous fight with the "beast," it was affected and fell unconscious after one of my attacks.
"Anyway, it's time to go back."
After this unexpected event, continue the journey back to the village.
….
On Mount Olympus, the goddesses Athena, Hera, and Hestia watched as Jason led Thetis away as if she were a simple hunting animal. They were also shocked to see another Jason following behind him, leading a boar.
After a long silence, Hestia interrupted this state with the following words.
"It seems that the matter of Thetis resolved itself."
Both Athena and Hera did not know what to say. But from this day on, Jason's name will be present in the memories of these goddesses.

Getting back with Jason
Upon reaching the village, my shadow clone headed towards the village to have the boar skinned and gutted. As for the other beast, I had initially planned to hand it over along with the boar, but I personally took it to Chiron's house, as I had some doubts about the identity of this beast.
And my suspicions were correct. When I arrived at Chiron's house, I saw a beautiful goddess chatting happily with my clone. As for Chiron, I saw that he was treating Peleus' wounds in another room. I did not want to interrupt Chiron, so I went to my clone, who, upon seeing me, dissipated in a cloud of smoke, an action that surprised the goddess, Iris.
I, after receiving the clone's memories, began to have a bad feeling. If I am not mistaken, the "beast" is the runaway bride.
And to confirm my thoughts, I approached the goddess Iris and spoke.
"Hello again, Goddess Iris."
Goddess Iris: "??"
"Goddess Iris, I have a question. This best... I mean, this person, isn't it Thetis by any chance?"
After hearing my words, she noticed the tied person on my back. Seeing Tetis's current strange appearance, she was shocked, but once she regained her composure, she nodded. She initially wanted to ask about why her body disappeared in a puff of smoke. But those thoughts were forgotten upon seeing Tetis in this strange situation.
Finally, after a while, she could only say:
"Congratulations, Thetis"... You are now engaged to Mr. Jason, she said with a forced smile on her lips.
Thetis had already regained consciousness when I dispelled the clone.
Finally, the three of us stared at each other in absolute silence, which made the atmosphere of the place uncomfortable. Finally, a voice full of anger and frustration broke the silence.
"Would you be so kind as to... untie me already?"
To which I replied.
"By no means."
I did not know why, but I felt that if I did that, the only one who would suffer would be me. And my assumption was correct after hearing Thetis' vicious words.
"Untie me once and for all, because if you don't, I swear I'll rip out your eyes when I get loose!"
Thetis began to throw more insults until I got tired and said:
"That's it," I said, letting my voice become tinged with menace.
I then took one end of the rope and pulled it tighter to prevent it from escaping. This operation caused her to make some strange sounds due to the friction of the ropes.
"Ah, Hahn…"
"What are you doing? Let me go, stop squeezing."
"Ah, Hahn…"
"I'll untie you when you calm down... Okay."
After about ten minutes of fighting, she calmed down. In the end, she ended up all sweaty, with her cheeks flushed from said fight. As for Iris, I did not know when she had run away. Including Chiron, along with the injured Peleus, they disappeared. This gave me a bad premonition.
I finally untied it, but the moment I untied it, it launched an attack in my direction. But I did not expect that when I encountered the attack, my body turned into a puddle of water.
As some might have imagined, the one unleashing Tetis was a water clone (skill learned thanks to Tetis and the memories of the anime); instead, my body was hidden, ready to launch an attack.
Just when she was distracted by the appearance of my clone, I took advantage of this instant when she had her defense down to launch a series of strikes at her meridians.
This caused her energy flow to be disrupted, causing her to be unable to activate her abilities.
I was able to create this ability thanks to the memories in my memory and the medical knowledge of Asclepius and the Sharingan.
Thetis, however, seeing herself deprived of her strength again, sat down on the ground and began to cry…
"Why does this have to happen to me? I do not want to marry this perverted mortal.
"Sniff sniff."
"Because misfortunes pursue me... because"
I, hearing these complaints and slander, did not want to remain silent either, and I spoke.
"I don't want to marry someone like you either. Besides, I'm not obligated to accept you as my wife." I said this in an indifferent tone.
She was taken aback when she heard my words. She did not expect this to be my reaction. I, on the other hand, continued talking.
"To tell you the truth, it was an accident that I caught you, and I have no intention of continuing with this farce of a marriage arrangement. After all, I don't know you, and if I want to marry someone, I hope that person isn't as troublesome as you."
"Troublesome me?" Tetis said, wiping away her tears.
"Yes, problematic… Women like you always cause problems in any era."
Truth be told, an extremely beautiful woman in ancient Greek mythology is a magnet for trouble no matter how you look at it, and by trouble, I mean for the gods (especially Zeus and Poseidon). They do not care if she is a mortal woman or a deity. They do not care if she is married or not, and they do not even care if they are related by blood.
A clear example that illustrates my point of view is the Trojan War, which was unleashed by the kidnapping of a certain Helen, but this is a story that will take place in the future. Returning to Thetis.
My words made her angry, but for distinct reasons, but anyway, this is not my problem. Now my main goal is to trick Tetis into showing me her skills. But now it may be more problematic.
I finally had to end this talk.
"Anyway, I'm starving. How about we talk more calmly after dinner?"
After hearing my words, she nodded tacitly and then walked me home.
Author's notes:
Hello everyone, dear readers, I had a mishap. I accidentally injured my shoulder, but nothing serious. So, I could not update.
Also, I was distracted reading a novel based on the Knights of the Zodiac, and the protagonist was Gemini's twin brother. Particularly good. I recommend it, but the ending is a bit rushed.
As for updates, I am going to update 2 or 3 chapters per week. I cannot update every day since I do not make money from this (that would be nice XD). I am writing this as a distraction and as inspiration. My greatest wish with this story is to try to encourage other users of this platform to create stories of this type.
Finally, thank you for still being here.
