Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki.

The owls aggregated and directly solidified into the form of a human.

A silver-haired elementary school student wearing a blue knitted hat directly appeared in Haramura Makoto's field of vision.

"——enmmm!"

"Instead of saying I'm playing some kind of play, it's more like you're the one playing some kind of play right now."

Haramura Makoto's eyelids twitched as he looked at Athena with a rather strange expression.

No choice.

The contrast Athena presented him was just too great. Just a few days ago, she was a noble and aloof mature woman, and now she's an elementary school student with a lollipop.

"I merely chose an attire that I believe is closest to a human's aura."

"Today, I don't need to take action, so naturally, I don't need to reveal my combat form."

Standing in front of Haramura Makoto, Athena, who was a full half-head shorter, raised her head and said expressionlessly.

She probably didn't even realize that this version of her presented a different kind of charm.

"Don't need to take action, huh."

Haramura Makoto tilted his head, a faint smile hanging on his lips.

"It seems that's indeed the case."

"Shall we start now?"

"I personally prefer to deal with those who stir things up last."

With his hands in his pockets, Haramura Makoto raised his eyebrows at Athena.

"So eager?"

"I think that before dealing with the matter I promised you, you should first engage in the transaction we agreed upon."

Athena's willow eyebrows arched, and her orange pupils took on a vertical shape similar to snake eyes, exuding a dangerous aura all over.

"Oh."

"I almost forgot about that matter."

Haramura Makoto smiled without apology and then directly took out the jade tablet from his pocket.

——The 『Gorgon Stone』 engraved with Medusa's pattern.

"This is the 'Snake' you've been searching for, right, Athena?"

Athena's gaze instantly focused on the Gorgon Stone, and words of emotion naturally escaped her lips.

"Indeed, it is the 'Snake.' It actually fell into your hands."

How should she describe it?

Lost and found?

A dream come true?

Even Athena found it difficult to describe her complex state of mind right now.

This thing she had been pursuing for so long had finally appeared before her.

However, a goddess is still a goddess.

Even if she lost her composure, it was only for a moment.

Her expression immediately returned to normal.

"Let's talk now, outsider."

"What conditions do you need to return the 'Snake' to me?"

"You're really direct."

Haramura Makoto also said with emotion, then his clear gaze swept over Athena's body.

"Actually, I've already thought of the condition."

"How about working for me, Athena?"

"Bang——!"

Explosive divine power erupted directly, and where Athena stood, shattered tiles and wood chips scattered like bullets.

"You've gone too far!"

Anger surfaced on Athena's exquisite face.

Now, no matter how much the Gorgon Stone attracted her, it couldn't make her take her eyes off Haramura Makoto's hateful face.

In her opinion, Haramura Makoto's condition for the transaction was simply proof that he didn't want to trade and was playing with her.

Work for him?

In other words, wouldn't that be becoming his subordinate, at his beck and call!

She is Athena.

The most ancient earth mother goddess.

The powerful trinity goddess.

The famous goddess of wisdom and war in Greek mythology.

Become someone else's subordinate?

This was undoubtedly slamming her self-esteem on the ground and repeatedly crushing it.

"Is it too much?"

Haramura Makoto smiled, slightly moving his steps to shield Liliana from Athena's divine power baptism.

He fiddled with the snake pattern on the jade tablet, then flicked his finger.

"Pa——!"

The jade tablet flipped a few times in the sky and landed accurately in Athena's palm.

"If you think it's too much, then forget it."

"Next, you just need to protect this girl properly."

"How about it? This condition isn't too much now, right?"

It's the aura of the 'Snake.'

It indeed contains the part of her divinity that she was missing.

This was undoubtedly the real thing.

Athena held the jade tablet with both hands, her expression slightly bewildered.

"You… what exactly do you mean?"

She is the goddess of wisdom.

It can be said that in this world, it is absolutely impossible to find someone smarter than her.

But, even though she is so smart, she still can't figure out what Haramura Makoto's actions mean.

He was clearly acting like he had her all figured out just now, but now he easily handed over the only thing that could threaten her.

What is this operation?

"Nothing special."

Haramura Makoto shrugged indifferently.

"Whether you can get this thing or not, for me, the ending where you work for me will not change."

"In that case, there's nothing wrong with giving it to you first, is there?"

"…"

So that's how it is, Athena looked at Haramura Makoto with complicated eyes.

She didn't know what Haramura Makoto was planning, but the meaning in his words was already very clear.

It was obvious that he had already figured her out.

Meaning no matter what, she would be subdued by him.

"It's really a kind of confidence that makes it impossible to feel disgusted, my impression of you has begun to change."

She didn't know why, but in this state, Athena felt that she should be angry.

It was just that she seemed to have been infected by this man.

Even now, she felt that if there really was such a day, this man might really make her sincerely submit.

"Then let me look forward to it."

"If there is such a day, and you really make me sincerely submit, it's not impossible to submit to you."

After saying this, even Athena herself couldn't help but laugh.

The obsidian badge floated up in her hand and finally stayed on top of her petite body's head.

Immediately afterward, the goddess chanted loudly towards the sky.

"I sing praises, a song for the goddess who is a trinity."

"Connecting the sky, the earth, and the darkness, is for reincarnation and wisdom."

"I chant, chanting the song of the goddess who has been degraded. Being a queen but regarded as a forbidden snake, is the queen's sigh."

"I chant, chanting the poems of the goddess whose body and mind are torn apart. Being violated by her noble father, is the humiliation of the merciful mother."

"My name is Athena, daughter of Zeus, guardian of Athens, and eternal virgin."

"In the past, the earth mother who conceived all things! In the past, the master of the underworld who controlled darkness! In the past, the queen of wisdom who understood the wisdom scattered in the heavens! I swear, Athena is about to return to the original Athena!"

The clear voice intricately weaves the words of power like a song, like a prayer, also like praise.

As the chanting progressed, Athena's figure was also changing, starting to stretch from her back, her hands and feet gradually lengthened, and the cute girl directly turned into a budding, beautiful, and first-appearing maiden.

Just looking at the appearance, she looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, and her clothes also changed from elementary school clothes to Greek ancient robes.

——The complete version of the disobedient Athena, has descended!

"Is this your complete form?"

"I understand why you have such a strong obsession with returning to your original form."

If the previous Athena only made people think of 'cute' because of her childish appearance, now that she had completely regained her age and honor, and restored the trinity divinity, Athena was truly beautiful.

A beauty that attracted the attention of the gods.

A beauty that was not at all inferior to the beauty goddess Venus.

Don't get me wrong.

When Athena and Haramura Makoto first met, she was indeed an adult, but that was probably the extent of a middle school student.

It could be considered pretty, but definitely not stunning.

Even if not calculated from the appearance, just from the divine power contained in Athena now, the momentum released, is actually a world of difference.

"Even if I have returned to my original appearance, it still can't make you feel jealous."

Athena stretched out her slender, jade-like little hand, seriously took a look, then her beautiful eyes glanced at Haramura Makoto.

Honestly, Athena's appearance just now really had a kind of charm that could make a hundred beauties smile.

"No difference."

"I've already said it, right, if I really entered your so-called god realm, your gods might still make me cheer up."

"It's just that the descent of the disobedient form, the strength is always limited."

He still remembered that there were things in this world that could threaten his existence.

There are strong people who can explode stars, not appearing now does not mean they don't exist, does not mean they don't have.

The so-called godslayers in this world, in his opinion, are impossible to reach this strength.
