I Will Be the Son of Man

Anna looked at the weapon thrown into her hand by Poseidon in surprise, a little puzzled.

Although in the dream, she was indeed holding the sickle.

But the "she" at that time was connected with the weapon that killed her as a "monster" because she came in a form called a servant.

"Why, give this to me?"

I don't quite understand the other party's thinking, but this weapon has a characteristic that makes [immortality] invalid.

"When that 'monster' died, didn't it deprive most of your [Petrified Demon Eye] ability?"

"Because he took away the 'head' with the petrification ability, [Perseus] felt that the original deal was unfair, so he asked the gods to reserve this weapon with me for a while. here you are."

"However, [Perseus] is really strange as a human hero. He always likes to insist on something in this regard."

What remains unsaid is that if it were not because [Perseus] was an important part of their plan, the gods would not agree to his "willful" request.

After all, the weapon [Hippal], if used properly, can become quite terrifying.

"[Perseus]..."

Thinking of the strange hero back then, Anna was silent for a while, and did not choose to refuse.

Because at the moment when she lost most of her petrification ability, she could only rely on this weapon if she wanted to ensure her safety in the outside world.

"Thank you very much, Lord Poseidon."

"It's nothing, I'm just following the trend. Besides, I'm actually quite interested in the relationship between you and that boy."

A playful arc was drawn at the corner of his mouth. Poseidon was still a little curious about Hill's relationship with the local "native" gods.

"It's nothing special..."

Ignoring the somewhat annoying teasing gaze of the other party, Anna pulled the hood on her head, and then sat down on Tenma's back in a nimble manner.

With a sound of the horse, Tianma stretched out its pure white wings, flapped them, and carried Anna towards the sky.

******

This is Athens, the city-state under the rule of the present king Aegeus.

A few years after King Aegeus regained the throne from the [usurper] Poteus, he was invaded by King Minos of Crete a few years ago and signed certain agreements, which led to this The city-states that were supposed to be connected with the goddess of wisdom have been a little bit sluggish in recent years.

Of course, the so-called recession is only aimed at the lower class people.

However, life is enough for those people as long as they remain citizens and are not reduced to slavery.

Inside a residential building.

Because of the power that was running around in his body that didn't belong to him, Hill temporarily lost the ability to move.

He also tried to expel this force, but every time he gained freedom of movement for a short time, Keto's crazy figure would appear in his mind again, and then his body became uncontrollable again.

It's almost like being entangled by a resentful spirit.

Leaning against the edge of the bed, Hill sipped the water Sasha handed over to him.

Although this state has no other effects other than making it difficult to move, the feeling of stiffness still makes him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Ah, it leaked again..."

Seeing water slowly leaking from the corner of Hill's mouth again, Sasha quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped Hill's face naturally.

In the past few days, even though the other party has woken up, they don't know why they can't move, so Sasha can only take care of Hill like this first.

"Do you want to lie down and rest for a while?"

Seeing that Hill's body didn't seem to be improving, Sasha suggested.

"No need, after a while, you should be able to move."

Feeling that the opponent is getting weaker every time the power is expelled, Hill has such a premonition in his heart.

"Yes, is it..."

Unable to understand where the teenager's confidence came from, Sasha only thought that the other party might suffer from some "strange disease" just like herself.

It's just that I forgot what happened before, while the other party couldn't move his body.

"Then, I'm going out first. If there's anything else, remember to ask Regulus and the others to call me!"

A bit worried, Sasha was a little worried about this dull-looking young man named Hill.

Looking at the back of the purple-haired girl leaving, there is actually one thing that Hill has never understood.

That is, there is obviously nothing to do with it, why do you want to help yourself like this?

Frowning and thinking, at this time, an old woman with a cane and rather plain clothes walked into the room.

The old man's name was Agatha, and this hut, which adopted orphans from all over the country, was built by the old man on the basis of his own home.

"How do you feel physically, son?"

Grandma Agatha took a slow step and sat down on the chair beside the bed, looking kindly at the boy who was picked up from the coast by Sasha on the bed.

"There is no problem with the body, it will take some time to move."

After explaining it again, Hill wasn't impatient, but his heart was already filled with curiosity.

"Why, help me?"

"Why? Hehe, I don't know that, kid."

Grandma Agatha was taken aback by Hill's strange question, and then said with a smile.

"If you hate someone, you may need a reason. But if you help someone, you don't need a reason, my child."

"Besides, it's not me who brought you back and has been taking care of you, but that child Sasha."

Through the window, Grandma Agatha looked at Sasha who was pretending to be angry because of the children's pranks outside the window, and couldn't help smiling.

"That child actually came here not long ago because of an accident..."

Thinking of that rainy night, on the way back, he found the purple-haired girl lying at the door.

"However, as you can see, Sasha's child may have suffered from some kind of disease in his head, so he has almost forgotten all the previous things."

"When she first came here, she couldn't even speak properly, and she didn't have any expression on her face. It's thanks to those little guys who always love to talk to her that she can become what she is now!"

"But after that child came here, I felt a lot more relaxed. After all, I am getting older, and maybe I will go to see Lord Hades without knowing what..."

"Hahaha... Sure enough, when I'm old, I always like to say things that don't make sense."

Grandma Agatha stood up, looked at Hill and said.

"In short, if you really want to know why you want to help you, you should just ask that child Sasha!"

"As for here, you can stay as long as you want. After all, in my opinion, you are just a child."

Leaning on crutches and walking out of the room with a hunched back, Hill lowered his head and thought for a while, then turned his head to look at Sasha who was drying the children's clothes outside, and blinked.

......

Evening, supper time.

(③42967465)

After a simple meal, Sasha came to Hill's bedside with some food.

From the perspective of quantity alone, you may not realize that so many things are only prepared for one person.

But Sasha, who took care of Hill for several days, knew that for the boy whose stomach was like a bottomless pit, these might just be enough to fill his stomach.

"Can I ask a question? Why, you want to help me?"

"Eh?"

Instead of opening her mouth to catch the spoon filled with vegetable soup after handing her over as usual, Sasha couldn't help but be taken aback by Hill's sudden question.

"why?"

"I don't know...I saw you lying on the beach at the time, and I brought you back when I realized it."

"...I see, I'll help you too."

Without getting a specific answer from the other party, Hill decided to remember the other party's kindness first, and then repay the other party when the body recovered.

"Help me? If you can get well soon, you are already helping me!"

Without taking Hill's words to heart, Sasha smiled and continued to hand the spoon to Hill's mouth.

Although he didn't know what the other party was laughing at, Hill nodded, then opened his mouth, drank the soup in the spoon, and licked it.

Seeing the food on the plate decrease little by little, and all fell into the belly of the boy opposite, Sasha always felt a small sense of satisfaction for some reason.

Like feeding something cute...

Startled by her sudden thought, Sasha hurriedly lowered her head slightly, worried that Hill would see the expression on her face.

After a while, she managed to control her emotions and slowly raised her head.

At the same time, after quickly feeding Hill the food, he took the plate and left.

It's just that his pace is much faster than usual.

Hill looked at the departing girl in some puzzlement. Just for a moment, the scent on the other party changed.

It made him vaguely smell the scent of a female snake.

But because the smell was fleeting and immediately changed back to a normal human smell, Hill felt that he must have made a mistake.

However, even so, the girl's behavior just now was quite different from usual.

"Sasha, that's weird..."

......

I don't know what day it was when I came to Athens. In short, compared to before, Hill can at least get out of bed and walk around easily.

Although he still needs help, he can already do things like eating by himself.

"Regurus, why are you taking other people's things casually again! Have you paid properly?"

From outside the room, Sasha's slightly angry voice came.

"Of course I paid for the silver coins, but I just paid the amount I thought it should be. That vendor always likes to yell at random prices, and sometimes deceives people from other places. I just taught him a lesson. .”

"In that case, isn't it stealing? No, Regulus, you have to send the things back..."
