"Hey, Apollo over there, aren't you awake yet?"
After the atmosphere on the boat fell into a brief silence, Jason looked at Chaldea who had closed their eyes to recuperate and shook his head helplessly. Then he turned his attention to the boy + kobold behind him who had already rested. The combination.
But no matter what the reason behind it, this pairing seemed too weird in Jason's eyes.
Even if the name of the god of light and music is added, it is the same.
Under normal circumstances, in those special events that are difficult to understand from a normal perspective, everything can be understood logically by naming one or more gods.
Jason himself had a profound experience.
A more famous example is the Trojan War, which was extremely absurd from the beginning.
A group of stupid people started a stupid war. What did they gain and lose in the end?
reputation? wealth? Beauty? that power?
No, the only revelation that that war brought was how insignificant man really is before the gods.
Speaking of which————————————
Jason studied the blond boy's face carefully, and then clicked his tongue with some indescribable emotion.
If he was really Apollo, wasn't it this guy who finally guided Paris to shoot Achilles during the Trojan War?
But Jason still doesn't think that the boy who claims to be Apollo is really Apollo.
Because even the gods could not explain how this young man became familiar with the kobold who looked like he came from a foreign country rather than the Mediterranean world, let alone the small boat under his feet.
Jason looked carefully at the boat under his feet again.
The small boat that radiated metallic light like silver obviously did not come from the Mediterranean world he was familiar with, but just by standing on the small boat, Jason noticed——————
Even if it is the remaining wreckage after being plundered by Hercules, the remaining power of this small boat is definitely not less than the Argonauts that once carried him to complete his great deeds.
Jason's Argonaut was built under the oracle of Athena and carried many heroes before it reached its current state.
From this point of view, it seems that only gods can explain the small boat that he, Chaldea and others are riding in at this moment.
But........
There was always a trace of doubt in Jason's heart.
No matter how many great deeds are accomplished and how many enemies are defeated————————————————
Can Hercules defeat Apollo?
"Uh-huh--"
Apollo, who vaguely heard Jason's question, did not reply. Instead, after hesitating for a few times, he turned his head and buried his face in the kobold's arms and fell asleep.
"Is it really a child...?"
Seeing Apollo who didn't reply to him at all and just expressed his dissatisfaction, Jason felt helpless.
"Really, is this guy really a heroic spirit?"
And as if after hearing Jason's quiet complaint, the kobold opened his eyes silently, stared at Jason, and then merged again.
"........."
For a moment, Jason felt as if he was being targeted by some raptor and took two steps back with an ugly look on his face.
These guys are indeed heroic spirits.
In terms of combat power alone, Jason himself is indeed not a powerful servant.
Therefore, he still chose to avoid the edge for the time being.
"Hey...you have a name, right? It's not good to always shout 'hello'."
Jason decided to communicate with him in a more friendly, normal and harmonious way.
"...Well, you can call Wang Jiang 'No. 2', that's what he said."
The sleepy Apollo rubbed his eyes and slowly sat up from the arms of No. 2, who was lying next to him like a canine.
"No. 2? Well, who gave it the number?"
Animusphia, who had been resting with her eyes closed, was also attracted by the conversation between Jason and Apollo, opened her eyes and asked.
"ha----"
After a difficult yawn, Apollo said:
"I don't know the details... Maybe I knew it before, but I have forgotten everything now. Wang Jiang just said that you can call him that."
"Well...that's it."
Animusfia nodded in understanding.
"Speaking of which, aren't you going to rest anymore? As a mortal, it's more important to recharge your batteries, right?
Jason asked looking at Animusfia who was already awake.
"I'm almost used to it. I haven't had a good night's sleep since the first singularity was repaired. I'll sleep after everything is settled."
"After everything is settled——————? You are really confident, but won't sleeping all day and all night waste your rare rest time? Sure enough, it would be better to rest more regularly."
"You don't think that when there's a chance you won't wake up."
One of Jason's final endings that has been passed down to later generations was that he was killed by a broken mast while taking a nap on the Argonaut.
"Really, do you think so?...But, I am an expert in escape. I won't die if I don't want to."
"That's really enviable."
"In that case, why do you want to rest now?"
"You really don't have back pain when you stand and talk."
Animusfia raised her eyes to look at Jason, and then used magic power to gently lift the girl sleeping on his lap to Matthew's side.
After nodding to Mash, Animusfia stood up and then came to Jason.
"My back hurts when I stand and talk? What are you talking about?"
Jason did not understand Animusfia's words very well.
"The Golden Fleece is still with you, right?"
"...No, it's with Medea, but she has returned to her seat. If there is one, she should be in the hands of Hercules."
"Well, maybe it's the relationship between your spiritual base and that treasure. Just like a passive talisman, that Aries protection prevents you from understanding what happened until now."
"What exactly do you want to say?"
“If Ritsuka and I want to take a rest, that’s it——————”
Animusfia said while pointing to the surrounding servants.
Even though they were awake, everyone, including Artoria and Mash, closed their eyes again to rest.
"But all the servants except you have fallen into some kind of depressed state, can't you notice it?"
Animusfia looked at Mash again.
"Indeed... I also feel a little tired..."
"Why do the conditions of other people get worse the closer you get to this sea area? Why are there fewer creatures in the ocean the closer you get to this sea area? And why are you, who is related to the Golden Fleece, so alive and kicking?"
“Could it be that you want to say——————?”
"That's right, Hydra, the nine-headed poisonous snake, is probably here..."
As if confirming Animusfia's words, the sea that was as silent as a mirror a second ago suddenly seemed to be boiling.
And a huge shadow also appeared under the bottom of the ship where Animusfia and others were riding.
