Zeus: How would you like to be... the new king of war?
(Chapter Eight: Decision Making)
Nagahito: What...you said?
Athena: Hey!!
Apollo: Isn't that a hasty decision?
Hades: Zeus
Do you want this person to be in the same position with us?
Zeus: Why not? I think it will be beneficial for us and for all mankind so --
Nagahito: Actually, I...I refuse the offer
Athena: What?
Hormuz: Oh~
Aphrodite: Why would you refuse such an offer?
We will be closer like this
Athena: Aphrodite!
Zeus: You will have servants, money and prestige
And so is strength
Why would you refuse something like that?
Nagahito: As for me... I want to be free from heavy responsibilities
be a king No, this will not happen
Artemis: What is wrong with the kings? What made you not want to be like them?
Nagahito: I don't want to feel like I'm above other people
This makes me uncomfortable, so I decline this offer
Zeus: Hmmm, okay, okay
We will not force you to do anything
But your loyalty must be directed to kings only
Did you understand ?
Nagahito: Alright
Zeus: Well then...now this meeting ends
Nagahito: It's over?
Athena: Come on, boy, let's go
Nagahito: Where? Don't you have another business more important than picking me up?
Athena: Don't worry about it
NAGAHITO (mentally): What's wrong with her? She is acting differently now
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
Nagahito, accompanied by Athena, left Olympus Palace
They are now heading towards the edge of Olympus to take Pegasus to go somewhere
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
Nagahito: What's wrong, Athena?
Athena: What do you mean?
Nagahito: Ever since the meeting ended, you've been acting weird
Athena: I don't understand what you mean
Let's hurry, boy
Nagahito: Huh?
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
The two of them reached Pegasus and launched into the sky
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
Nagahito: Athena!
Athena: You want to know why I acted like this?
Nagahito: You finally decided to tell me?
Athena: I will tell you something important about kings
Nagahito: Something important? Is it a secret?
Athena: Yes, it's a secret
Nagahito: Are you okay with that? I mean, a secret about royalty for an ordinary person like me?
Athena: That's okay, boy
Nagahito: Hmm, that's okay then
I will keep this secret in a deep well
Athena: Alright

Athena: Actually...it's the way to live on Olympus
NAGAHITO (mentally): What?! Didn't you change the subject?
Athena: What's wrong?
NAGAHITO (mentally): Now you decided to tell me?
Athena: (sigh)
Nagahito: So...how is it?
Athens: only three ways
The first is to be king
NAGAHITO: So my first chance is gone
Athena: Yes, right
The second way is to be a servant of one of the kings
But this will come at the cost of your personal freedom
Nagahito: Hmmm, that doesn't suit me
Athena: Yes, I know that
Nagahito: So what is the third method?
Athens: The third method is for males only
As for the previous two methods, it can be for both males and females
Nagahito: The third method is for males only?
What is it ?
Athena: To marry one of the queens of Olympus
Nagahito: ma ...ma...marriage?!
Athena: Yes
Nagahito: (give her a look, are you kidding me or what?)
Athena: So...
Nagahito: Hmmm, I don't know
Athena: Not all males are held in this regard
As many males have proposed to Hesita and Aphrodite and to me as well
Rejection was the word we mentioned the most in that period
Nagahito: That means I don't...
Athena: For you, you have the opportunity
And if you ever decide to ask for marriage from his king
I...I will give you acceptance
Nagahito: .....
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
After this shocking speech
Nagahito enrolls in the Heroes Academy
And Athena went to her own city
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
Nagahito: , Athena!
Do you want to marry me ?! Are you Ok ?
I don't understand women at all
Anyway...I will never consider marriage until I have completed all my personal goals
I'm sorry, Athena, but you won't see me on Olympus so I can marry you
Mira: Huh? Nagahito?
Nagahito: Oh! Mira
Mira: Welcome back, Nagahito
Nagahito: Yes, I'm back
Where have you been ?
Mira: I'm walking in the park
Nagahito: So...can I join you?
Mira: A.. Absolutely!
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
After Nagahito met Mira
The two of them started walking in the park of the academy
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
Nagahito: Do you usually walk here?
Mira: Yes... it helps me clear my head
Nagahito: Nice
Mira: Umm..excuse me, but can you tell me what happened with you on Olympus?
Nagahito: Now prepare to hear a lot
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
And yes, Nagahito told Mira of everything that happened with him, except for Zeus's request that he become king and Athena's saying about marriage.
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
Mira: I can't believe it! You managed to confront Poseidon's killer!
You are so strong!
Nagahito: I'm not strong
The thing is, I was lucky
In the end... I was the one who suffered the most at the time
(Meaning his fight against the black ghost)
Mira: It's okay, Nagahito
You did your best
Nagahito: Thank you for consoling me
Mira: Don't worry, Nagahito
I will support you in your fight against him next time!!
Nagahito: Do you support me? how ?
Mira: I'm a healer, so I can support you on the battlefield
As soon as you get hurt, I will heal you
Nagahito: Thank you, girl
This means that we will both support each other
Mira: Of course!
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
The two continued their walk in the garden
Until one of the administrators came to the academy
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
Mira: I'm still bad at long-term healing magic, but this won't stay like this for long
Nagahito: Nice
"You two!!"
Mira: Huh? He is one of the teachers
Nagahito: What's up?
"It's an important meeting for all the members of the academy. Now go to the big hall."
Nagahito : The big hall?
Mira: I know where she is but... I don't know what they want from us
Nagahito : hmmm ... alright
let's go
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
In the city of Athens in Greece
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
(Palace of Athens)
Athena: Hmmm
"What is there, my lord?"
Athena: I completely forgot about it
"Huh?"
Athena: It's time for that event
