28 – Sweet as hell, painful as heaven.
On the other side of the ruined Colosseum.
Atalanta, who couldn’t bear to let go of her anxious heart, was chilled by the aftermath of the huge explosion Hercules saw at the end.
The moment you lament that you are dying like this without thinking about anything else.
For some reason, what passed before his eyes was Dianes, a boy with black hair who had been guarding him until this morning.
She asked. Why does she care so much about herself?
Then he smiled and asked.
Why did you try to kill me?
Atalanta couldn’t say anything to that question, which seemed to be scolding.
She said that, shrugging her shoulders as if she didn’t really want an answer.
‘Just as there is no need for a reason why you just wanted to kill me or inflict a fatal wound on me. I don’t need much of a reason to save you’
I just do what I feel like.
You don’t have much to worry about, either.
For some reason, his head was throbbing with a headache, so Atalanta couldn’t argue anymore and went back to bed.
Even when my memory is hazy, there is one thing I can be sure of.
Her nightmares that haunted her for a long time had landed in her place, and this hot emotion pointed to that black-haired, beautiful little hero.
Feelings for the first time in my life.
A desire for the first time in my life.
When I followed her from afar, her heart pounded as if she were facing a vast unexplored landscape, and when I met her obsidian-like eyes, I felt a thrill running through her whole body.
What kind of emotion is this?
Feeling so unfamiliar with her, she ran to her adoptive mother, Kari Claw, and she smiled kindly, took her in her arms, and whispered softly.
The golden arrow of Eros he brought was lodged deep in your chest.
Sweet as hell, painful as heaven, ugly and ugly, and the most beautiful emotion in the world is love.
I couldn’t believe it at first.
She is the daughter of Artemis, she will soon join the endless hunt on the night of the new moon as an eternal virgin once she leaves the Jarai Forest.
That she fell in love with a man, and with the opponent she fought against yesterday.
“Oh, Tally. Love is like that It is more sudden than any event and more fatal than any accident. But that’s why love is beautiful and strange.”
With her kiss on her confused forehead, Cari Claw held her proudly in her arms.
“Dianes, the child told me. The things I tried to protect you, and the things I did for you, rather trapped you in the past. However, we are proud of you for breaking the yoke and standing up like this.”
Atalanta, who set up blades on all sides of her with hatred and rejection that seemed to last forever.
Kari Claw was delighted that her eyes were shining with warm affection, not cold cynicism. She was at a loss.
Like a butterfly that breaks its cold shell and opens its beautiful wings.
Atalanta, who came out of her past and regained her true colors, was a treasure more beautiful than anything else in the world.
It may be unfamiliar to you with the colorful emotions that you have met naked for the first time in a long time.
Soon she will find out too.
The joy of being with the one you love.
The sweetness of love that warms her heart.
With such encouragement, Cari Claw talked all night with her confused daughter for the first time in a while.
About her beautiful performance before the tragedy came.
And about the courtship of the little heroes who knew the fever from her smile and the young men of the nearby village.
About how cute she was when she first came to the forest.
It was really embarrassing and embarrassing.
Was this kind of time such a comfortable and warm time?
Atalanta fell asleep on her mother’s arm in her first cozy mood.
And the next day.
When I met him laughing and getting along as if it was annoying among the so-called golden trio of Theseus, Jason, and Hercules.
When your heart is shaking as if it’s about to explode and nothing else catches your eye.
When she saw herself being moved by the warmth of Dianes, she stretched out and grabbed her.
She had to admit it too.
That she fell in love with her.
I didn’t see anything after that.
Even when everyone ran away screaming at Hercules’ madness, I couldn’t move my feet when I saw him endangering Hercules alone.
Wouldn’t someone throw up blood on that fist and collapse?
Wouldn’t it be broken somewhere from those kicks?
For the worries biting her tail drew ominous imaginations, which, like heavy shackles, bound her feet.
And then, when the thunderbolt struck Hercules’ fist, who lost his reason.
Her sense of crisis ran toward the peak.
Dianes is unable to move as if he has been bound by Hercules’ aura.
The fist of Hercules falling aiming for his head.
No matter how much she thought about it, she couldn’t even think of avoiding it as she faced the explosion that came like a tidal wave.
The moment she closed her eyes, thinking only of Dia Ness, who vaguely disappeared beyond her dust.
Her whole body suddenly floated up and her graceful voice called out to her.
“Oops! Hey, be careful!”
“Eh… Eh?”
There was no pain that struck her whole body, nor the loud sound of her pounding on her ear. Only the quiet sound of the wind and the blue sky greeted her.
Could she have a vision of herself before dying in the aftermath of the explosion?
As she was thinking such silly thoughts, her voice tickled her ears again.
“Huhuhu, fortunately, all of your expectations were wrong. Wake up.”
The owner of her sweet voice lifted her up as she gently brushed her hair.
Since when was she bedridden?
From noble mtl dot com
She looked up with a strange feeling that something similar had happened recently.
A beautiful lady was examining her body with a noble smile.
“Ugh, Kari Claw is also true, my dear, she is a nymph, her hair is smooth even without taking special care of it, but to leave a little girl’s hair so stiff…
Oh my God? What is this forehead scar! Her swelling hasn’t gone down either, but I can’t do cold compresses! My whole body is screaming in the dust…
Please don’t say that this mat was distributed by Chiron as clothes. Zeus, my God!”
Even though she endlessly lamented and complained like Master Chiron’s barrage, her elegance and nobility were not damaged in the slightest.
There is no doubt that this pure white thing touches her limbs softly ….
“Clouds?”
Atalanta, who suddenly came back to her senses, looked around her in surprise.
For some reason, in the middle of the high sky, there are only white clouds and distant horizons in all directions, and no explosions that threatened until just now.
She was floating on a cloud with some noble lady.
“Me, me, there…”
“I guess I have to clean my body first. Relax your body”
-f*ck!
Before Atalanta could ask anything, her dame snapped her fingers lightly, and her pure white light enveloped her, and in the blink of an eye, Atalanta’s whole body was clean. Done
She was completely healed, from the goose on her little finger to the dust, small wounds, and even the small scars on her body.
“Huh? Uh huh?”
“A little tanned skin will come back after a while, and it is rather nice to see her health and vitality.”
What kind of situation is this? She was an Atalante that her head couldn’t keep up with, but her lady’s performance continued.
“I don’t know about accessories… because she used to call herself the daughter of Artemis, who is like that slob.”
“Yes? H-how did you know that!?”
“That is not important right now. Hmm… I’d rather not have her necklace or bracelet. About as light as a belt? The clothes… Like this?”
As the lady beckoned her face, shoulders, arms, and hands busily, her words were her clothes, and her attire, which was more like just a cloth wrapped around her, changed in an instant.
The first was a purple robe trimmed with gold thread.
It was a dress embroidered with apple trees in gold and silver on a fabric that was smooth and soft to the touch, as if stroking petals in full bloom. She looked like a noble princess wearing this.
“It is the purple silk that the king of Thebes presented the other day. However, it is so gorgeous that it rather hides your charm.”
This isn’t it.
At the goddess’s finger that was bounced off again, once again her clothes changed completely.
This time, it was a vivid green outfit reminiscent of a meadow in the new spring, with Dukes embroidered in detail with lapis lazuli. It matched her light brown skin, making her look like a forest nymph.
“Well, not even this. I don’t know if it’s a banquet. I’m going to take care of my fallen lover, and it’s so gorgeous.”
-f*ck!
-f*ck! f*ck! f*ck!
After that, the lady’s fingers bounced countless times, and after repeating this ten or so times.
“Yes! This is it!”
She cheered with a bright smile befitting her noble beauty.
