I don't like the gods, I want to be a hero

But before he could take the first step, there was a sudden sound of breaking wind behind him...

Enter Seleus and Atalanta

"Miss Atalanta, Miss Atalanta..."

Chaldea, outside Atalanta's room, Matthew, who was carrying a special strawberry cake, knocked on the door nervously.

Due to various reasons, she would always be treated wildly by the huntress. Matthew, who doesn't know how to refuse, usually tries her best to avoid being in private space with this deeply-connected elder (mother? Fog) met alone.

But today...

"Miss Atalanta, I'm coming in."

There was no response from the room for a long time, so Matthew, who had a busy schedule, had no choice but to open the door with anxiety, while secretly praying that a certain huntress would not use this as an excuse to pounce on him in the form of a lion.

"Miss Atalanta, thanks to you helping to take care of Tong Yao and the others, Miss Boudica can breathe a sigh of relief. This is a thank you gift she asked me to send...Huh?!"

Matthew, who poked her head out cautiously, was relieved that she didn't feel the wild aura, but when she just walked into the room, the green-haired beauty who was sleeping in front of her made her eyes widen in surprise.

"Miss Atalanta..."

Matthew, whose little face was inexplicably stained with a blush, quietly came to the bedside, and casually placed the strawberry cake on the bedside cabinet, staring at the lazy big cat-like girl with her shining eyes without blinking. A huntress curled up in a ball.

'It's Miss Atalanta who is completely different from usual. Matthew's heart was filled with novelty, and she seemed to have grown a lot more courageous, and she sat directly beside the bed.

'Miss Atalanta, who doesn't look like a predator, unexpectedly makes people want to get close. '

I don't know if it's the girl's nature to like cute things, or because of the influence of part of the spirit base of Serius, the purple pupils that Mash showed almost subconsciously aimed at the cat ears that were shaking from time to time (lion ears: ???) above.

'Do you want to take this opportunity...'

Matthew swallowed, no girl can refuse a pair of furry cat ears, and her usual respectful distance is just for Atalanta's extraordinary enthusiasm, it doesn't mean that she doesn't want to take care of the pair The cat's ears are rubbed comfortably.

And the current situation where Atalanta is sleeping soundly is undoubtedly a rare opportunity for the girl.

'She treats you like that normally, and she can take this rare opportunity to fight back. '

'Mash is a well-behaved child, and a good child should not do such a disrespectful thing to an elder (?). '

His thoughts were split into two in an instant, and they were fighting fiercely in his mind. Mash's eyes gradually became blurred due to the anxiety of the battle.

And just when the girl's consciousness reached its limit, a dazzling crimson light suddenly bloomed in her mind, directly dispelling all distracting thoughts.

'Mash Sauce. '

'Mr. Seleus! '

'Do you like Matthew sauce? '

'Mr. Seleus! ! '

'Since you like it, don't be bound by those meaningless rules and regulations, just follow your heart, I will support you no matter what, Mashu-chan. '

'Mr. Seleus! ! ! '

The crimson light disappeared without a trace in an instant, and Matthew, who had returned to reality, clenched her fists and cheered herself up firmly, then stretched out her trembling hands, and approached those furry ears little by little. .....

"Mash, what are you doing here?"

The sudden voice from behind made Matthew scream involuntarily, but the consciousness from the hero made her immediately gag her mouth.

But even so, the panic and apprehension of being caught on the spot for doing something bad still made the girl's body tremble uncontrollably.

"No wonder Matthew has been here for so long. It turns out that Atalanta is sleeping here."

A girl with short orange-red hair tied into a ponytail poked her head out from behind Matthew, and nodded knowingly when she saw Atalanta on the bed.

"Senior, it's not you who saw..."

The little blushing was hot, and Mash, who was almost turning into a steam girl, danced and wanted to explain something, but Tachibana beside him patted the girl's shoulder indifferently.

"Okay, okay, after all, we are facing Atalanta, so it is understandable for Mash to behave like this."

"senior!"

"But it's rare for Ata to sleep so soundly..."

Looking at the sleeping huntress, Tachibana, who was clearly a beautiful girl but showed an idiot face without disobedience, rubbed her chin ambiguously.

"Senior, pranks are not allowed!"

"Oh, it's Mash himself who obviously wanted to play a prank just now."

"But......"

"Don't worry, don't worry." Tachibana waved her hand indifferently.

"It's not that I'm trying to play a prank, it's just that I think it would be a waste to not call someone over to appreciate this rare beauty."

"Senior, you mean Mr. Serius?" Matthew nodded his lips in doubt. "But don't the two of them hug each other and fall asleep from time to time?"

"Hey, you don't understand this." Lihua stretched out a finger seriously. "The tacit understanding between the two sides is nothing compared to a sudden surprise."

"Senior?" Matthew tilted her head in confusion.

"To put it simply, there is no scent of wild flowers in house flowers, and what others give you is not as good as what you steal from yourself..."

"Senior!" Matthew seemed to realize something, and her voice was raised a lot involuntarily.

"In short, it's right to call that guy Serius over while Ata is still asleep."

Realizing that he accidentally said something wrong, Tachibana left Atalanta's room in a hurry, followed by little Mash who kept asking her to explain clearly.

............

"Ata, Tachibana and the others said that you are in a hurry...huh?!"

Serius, who opened the door and entered without knocking on the door as usual, looked at the sleeping Atalanta in surprise.

"Really...does even Mash-chan fail?"

Seleus, who instantly realized that he had been deceived, scratched the back of his head with some nerve-wracking, and his crimson eyes naturally fell on the sleeping Atalanta.

"I just walked over and didn't intend to wake up at all. This is not in line with her status as a huntress."

Serius, who felt strange, came to the bed, but accidentally found a notebook with densely written words on the head of Atalanta's bed, and beside the notebook, lay a laptop without a breather. smart phone.

"Did you fall asleep unknowingly because you were too tired?"

Serius thought so, and then closed the notebook according to the principle that even a couple respects each other's privacy, and planned to put the phone back in a safe place after turning off the screen.

But out of his irrepressible curiosity, Seleus subconsciously glanced at the lit screen of the phone.

"This is......"

Seleus and Atalanta

"This is?"

On the lit screen was a photo that was taken at an unknown time, and the content of the photo was the figure of Seleus drawing a bow and nocking an arrow.

"Is it the photo from the last time I went to the singularity to collect ingredients? I didn't expect Atta to take it."

Due to its own nature and function, Chaldea was established in the isolated area of ​​Antarctica.

Supplies of food and other daily necessities were already difficult, especially after the burning of humanity, everyone in Chaldea completely cut off this only thought.

Coupled with the disorderly proliferation of Artoria servants, obtaining ingredients from the singularity has become the responsibility and obligation of every servant.

And the photo on Ata's mobile phone came from a team hunt with Berserker Seleus and her.

"I remember Ishtar was the one who partnered with Atta at the time, but for some reason Atta insisted on me replacing that guy, and also had to bring a magic bow that was 'worthy of me' .”

Seleus recalled the scene at that time, God knows how much pressure he endured from "myself" when the "Seleus" heard the news.

Moreover, in order to satisfy Atati's request, he paid a considerable price to borrow Iyos from the reluctant Archer Seleus.

'The so-called 'strict self-discipline and lenient treatment' probably refers to my situation, although I was forced to do so. 'Selius shook his head helplessly.

"When I reached the singularity, I found out that Atta was planning to take this opportunity to have a hunting competition with me, and invited La Erna as a notary."

When hunting prey, it is natural to store it. Therefore, servants like Blackbeard and Jason who have treasures with the storage function have become necessary players for every hunting activity.

However, Serius himself has never met a storage partner other than Gilgamesh, Jason, and Ozymandias.

"As soon as I mentioned the game, I immediately understood Atta's intention."

There are seven 'Seleus' in total, and among the seven, Atta only chose him who maintained the posture of a 'human brave'.

In other words, the victorious Atalanta must be worried about the fact that Serleus deliberately lost to her in the running race, so she intends to prove that she is the strongest female hunter in Greece in the field she is best at. Strength.

Seleus thought he understood everything.

'Since Atta wants to win so much, what if I let her win again? '

Having already deliberately lost once, Seleus would not mind losing to Atalanta again.

But considering that the purpose of this time was to supplement the ingredients of Chaldea, in order to avoid the situation where he accidentally won the victory, Seleus also greeted La Er in advance.

Indicates that he will judge Atalanta to win no matter what the result.

After hearing Serius' request, Ozymandias had an indescribably weird expression on his face for some reason.

But it's no wonder that this King of Kings, who has practiced the pharaoh's majesty all his life, must not be able to understand Seleus' actions no matter what.

Seleus thought so.

Therefore, in order to ensure that Ozymandias would agree to his request, he sold Caster himself for a 'good price' without hesitation.

And this time, Ozymandias had an indescribable smile on his already weird face.

"La Er kept his promise and declared Atta's victory, but she, who won the victory, suddenly shot me an arrow for some reason, and then returned to Chaldea in anger."

Seleus until now could not understand the reason for Atalanta's anger.

And although Ozymandias saw the reason, he just patted the shoulder of Serius, who had been shot in the forehead a few times, and took back the palace he summoned to store Serius' prey.

Then, he returned to Chaldea with that weird expression and his characteristic devilish laugh.

"Thinking about it now, that boy La Er only summoned one temple from the beginning to the end, and as a judge who has been bribed, wouldn't it be safer to place the prey of the two contestants separately?"

Seleus didn't understand La Er's thoughts, but as the legendary king of kings, Seleus believed that there must be reasons he did not know.

"But having said that, a traditional hunter like Atta has come into contact with mobile phones so quickly. Is it because he is very young in body and mentality?"

Withdrawing his divergent thinking, Serius once again set his sights on his photo, but this time, he found several words that were added later around the photo.

"Idiots, ignorant elm heads, iron towers that don't understand people's hearts, big pig's hooves, soul-wrenching monsters... What kind of evaluations are these?"

Seleus sighed helplessly.

'Ata seems to be mad at me, but why is she mad at me? '

Serius couldn't figure it out, but he felt that he needed to figure it out. With this intention in mind, his crimson eyes subconsciously glanced at the notepad he put aside.

"It's not good to do this, Atta, who was already angry, would definitely lose her temper with me if she found out that I was flipping through her notepad..."

Seleus dragged his chin in confusion. As a very decisive hero, he couldn't make up his mind on this trivial matter.

"Big man..."

The hesitant Seleus was quite frightened by the sudden voice, he quickly turned his head to look at Atalanta next to him, and subconsciously wanted to explain.

But the huntress' eyes were always closed, and her natural sleeping face and steady breathing didn't look like a product of pretending.

"Unconscious sleep talk?"

Seleus heaved a sigh of relief, and after realizing something from his lover's dream, he showed a very brisk smile, and then gently lay down on the side of Atalanta's bed.

"How lovely, my Atalanta."

As if hearing Serius' soft words, Atalanta, who was sleeping soundly, frowned her brows full of heroism, and then murmured a few words of unknown meaning.

"Did you dream about something?"

Serius' smile became even more gentle, and at the same time, he stretched out his fingers and lightly touched his lover's lovely sleeping face.

"Hmm~~~" Atalanta uttered a few displeased sleepy whispers, and her two little hands jumped straight at Serius' big hand that was disturbed like a disturbed cat.

"Ha ha."

With the laughter of a successful prank, Seleus easily dodged Atalanta's pounce.

Then, he stood up, intending to put the phone back on the bedside table and leave, when he suddenly found a line of small text in the lower left corner of the photo from the corner of his eye.
