39 – The Mystery of Hermes
Damn it.
We literally gave and received verbally.
With just one jab lightly, I’m going to reduce the number of direct punches.
This time, when I was silent, the swindler Shin put a smile on his eyes again and began to babble.
“Kihihihi…Why? Is your face white?”
“You don’t know when or where an orbital bombardment will come. If you’re like me, won’t your head hurt?”
I shot him in the eye with such a deep heart, but Hermes swayed in the air wearing winged shoes.
He was holding his stomach and giggling.
“Originally, Apollo and Artemis have a special friendship because their childhood was not easy, right? Yes, your worries right now are not in vain.”
“It’s been a while…”
To be honest, the information Hermes gave me was quite, no, very helpful.
Where in the world will you hear the news of the kingdom of the distant gods?
That face that comes and goes in front of me. That hateful T-bagging that says this is what the so-called face looks like is the problem.
“Aww… If you really tease me, I’ll explode. Are you that worried?”
“It was just a few days ago when I went for a walk in the woods and almost got my head blown off by the light years of the moonlight.”
“The light years of the moonlight… Puff! Ha ha ha ha ha!! Oh my god!”
Hermes laughed heartily at the nickname I gave him, but isn’t this really the work of a light year or a child?
Oh my gosh, I’m not ashamed that I got a headshot without saying anything first and then got a reverse tour. He hit me!’?
‘The reason Atalanta was so brazen was that she resembled my mother…’
Young master! Mencius!
You are right!
A person can be taught and rehabilitated, but an animal that bites a person can only be beaten!
‘It’s a cover-up, it’s a nabal, and I had to take out one eye?’
Still, he won’t die because he’s a god, but isn’t it just a mad b*tch going crazy for nothing?
If you were going to touch it anyway, you should have been stuck in the corner of the room and screwed up properly…
‘In that case, it would have been lightning instead of sunlight’
Thinking back, that was the best I could do at the time, but I couldn’t help but think that I would screw it up when I had the chance.
“Uhhh… That’s not what I’m thinking right now, is it?”
“What?”
“…Did you say you had to end up with the real Artemis in the forest at that time?”
As expected, is he a rookie who took the place of the Twelve in Olympus with one tool of notice?
I saw right through the inside.
However, I couldn’t express my desire to defeat a god of the same rank, so I smiled and shook my head.
“No way, I wanted to hit the face of some pretty young man who was flying frantically in front of me and giggling.”
“Eh.. Huh?! I’m so cute?!”
…Should I kill Dianes?
Be patient, the heavenly demon within me.
Even though she is handsome, her life soared due to the quality of her black boyfriend’s aegyo, but she was able to endure it with all her patience in her three lives.
Honestly, if I had regained my previous life’s innocence now, that shiny forehead would have been blown away. Really.
“No, what should I do?”
It’s just a fly, no, but I’m a rookie, so the evaluation is poor?
Assuming it was just an immature kid running around the room, I began to think of a solution.
‘Do I have to start training right away? If you get poison from Asclepius and Asclepius and replace it with poison… But you have to suck it up like that so you’ll have a hard time raising the level later…
But I have to be alive…’
“Kuhm!”
“…What is it?”
“So. What are you worried about? Right now, in front of my eyes, there is a god of resourcefulness and wisdom that defeated Apollo without saying a word!
Even OMG! That god is so merciful that he never forgets the one chance he declared!”
He is a god of resourcefulness and cunning, a god of fraud and deceit.
However, there was a point in what the blonde curly said.
In a myth in my memory, it is Hermes who steals all of Apollo’s cattle, buys Apollo’s favor and gives him a lyre as a gift.
“Well, as Hermes said, should I write poetry or prose?”
“Ah, you are weak. No matter how much Apollon hyung praised your poetry and promised to meet you later, it’s not as big as your brother’s love for your sister.”
Judging from Hermes who is shaking his head as if he is getting tired just thinking about it, this is a pass.
In the first place, Master Neung Seo-hwa also told me about the mindset when composing poems and prose.
A poem written in a hurry is worse than the noise on the roadside, so when inspiration strikes, don’t let go of the brush, and if your heart doesn’t move, don’t even grind the ink.
The poems that were originally uploaded to the temples of Ares and Zeus also came out by thinking about the old days. Even if you forcefully use it, the bard’s guardian spirit won’t understand it.
“And if you are going to ask me for an answer, formally use the opportunity I gave you. Where else are you sneakily trying to get an oracle for free?”
“Che”
Did you notice?
The teachers still open their mouths nicely when asked while gently scratching the itchy spot.
As expected, it was not an easy opponent.
“Then I formally ask Hermes for an answer. How can I escape the wrath of the god Apollo?”
Seeking an answer from God can be said to be asking for an oracle in its own way, so he knelt down on the floor and showed his respect.
Then Hermes, smiling in satisfaction, crossed his arms and spoke in a dignified tone.
[Okay, traveler from far away. I bless you on your new journey, and I will teach you how to avoid the wrath of the sun.]
Hermes, who exudes a powerful deity that I couldn’t think of as a light god earlier.
As expected, no matter how friendly and light that figure was, it was, after all, the main seat of the mighty myth of Olympus.
[A child born without the help of a midwife, follow the anecdote in which he gained a career and get an answer.
If you show the answer to the sons of Hephaestus, who are located deep in the forest where heroes grow, the path will open.]
“…What?”
I knew this would happen.
When I heard the word oracle, I wondered.
Hermes, who radiated divine power from his whole body after saying something that was barely understandable, was smiling with satisfaction.
[The oracle is over! My karma given by the Queen is over. Please stay safe until we meet again! A new friend I met after a hundred years!]
“No, wait! Give me some hints…!”
-Woe!
Che Hermes, who playfully left a wink before I could catch him, disappeared with the bright light.
* * *
After Hermes disappeared.
I was able to follow the regular curriculum in the Forest of Heroes in three days.
It is said that students who enter the Forest of Heroes for the first time learn about the structure of the forest by following the guidance of guides selected by Chiron or voluntarily volunteered.
“Let’s see, Healing Center, I saw the Central Altar, and the Colosseum… Was blown away…”
There were several incidents in the middle, but still Atalanta was my guide pointed out by Chiron.
Even though she’s calmed down a bit, she’s still active. As soon as Hermes disappeared, she led me out of the treatment center.
“Come on! I’ve got it all planned out!”
Atalanta fluttered open the map and pointed out the places drawn on it one by one.
“First of all, since I left the treatment center, I will stop by the nearest forest of nymphs, observe a literary class, and then greet my mother with Cariclo. And if you walk a little further, you can see the centaur field training grounds and…”
Atalanta chirping excitedly, chirping like a little sparrow.
I was glad to hear that chatter after a long time, so I just listened silently, and Atalanta, who was even more excited, explained her technique guide course.
“Finally…. Coastal canter course! Originally, it was a place where you had to run every morning, but because of that Hercules wild boar, it’s a course that no one has run in the past few months!”
Instead, Atalanta ended her guide with her flushed face, boasting that there would be a really pretty twilight at sunset, when we arrived at the island.

“I don’t think today is enough?”
I said it like a joke, but it was true.
If you look at her map that Atalante showed you, or her guidance course that she was excited about, even if she is busy, a day will pass.
“So we have to move fast! When you get a headache from Hermes-sama’s riddle, it’s normal for everyone to go around the forest and ask for advice!”
“The riddle of Hermes?”
“Yes, Hermes is very fond of pranks, so it is a daily routine for us to hide our things and ask them to find them through riddles. But Dianes’s face was the same as the faces of the guys who heard that riddle.”
When she came in, Hermes disappeared and only her head was rotting, so she forcibly pulled me out.
Even in the midst of gently refusing that she wasn’t in the mood, she dragged me out to the rug and started guiding her.
Well, the more you get stuck, the more you have to go back.
“Then, beautiful hunter. May I ask for guidance?”
At my joke, Atalanta smiled and nodded her head approvingly.
“Of course! Today is going to be so much fun!”
Seeing Atalante laughing as if she was having fun, I naturally thought of Neri, who couldn’t even say hello a while ago.
‘…How are you doing?’
Well, nymphs are so quick to change their interests, so they must be having fun with my older sisters by now.
“Then let’s go!”
I smiled as I thought of Neri, who was chatting happily with her older sisters in the sea as I moved along with Atalante’s lively voice.
