The Story of Eros and Psyche – (3)

The sun god, who came running after receiving a call from Morpheus, had an expression of resentment on his face for some reason.

Oh yeah, looking at that face, you must have been involved.

“Apollo, tell me the truth. Why did you give me this oracle?”

“Uncle. That’s…”

“As far as I know, there is no human woman in this age who is destined to marry a monster. You, the God of Prophecy, should know better.”

“……”

“Do you know what rumors are going around among the people living in various cities right now? It is said that the gods, jealous of Psyche’s beauty, are planning to marry her to a monster, and there is a great deal of sympathy for Psyche, a human being. Doesn’t this amount to an act that belittles the dignity of the gods?”

Apollo, who had been silent for a moment, opened his mouth.

“That’s… This time, it’s Eros’ fault.”

“…? Why Eros.”

I thought you would work in the afterlife and return home to be respectful?

“This happened because Eros coveted that human woman, Psyche.”

“Explain it in detail.”

“As you know, uncle, I am a god of prophecy and know a lot. But from this human named Psyche’s mouth comes a bitter fragrance, and from her hair a sweet fragrance. Are these not the bitter and sweet waters of Aphrodite’s fountain? Aphrodite has not moved from Olympus… It was that cruel Eros who lusted after Psyche that caused this to happen. That is why he gave this oracle.”

First, the reason why Apollo gave such an oracle has been revealed.

Apollo, who was hit by a golden arrow and loved the nymph Daphne, would not have been pleased with Eros.

So she would have interfered with Eros’ love by saying that she would marry an evil monster or something.

But Eros is a male god with the appearance of a boy who is not interested in goddesses… so why does he desire Psyche?

Eros’ mother was Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty… Did she order Eros?

But why would you bother to torment a single human being… Wait a minute.

“I heard that she is an incredibly beautiful daughter…”

The goddess Lethe said that Psyche was rumored to be incredibly beautiful.

As it happens, the goddess of beauty is Aphrodite. Hmm.

“This is a matter that I can’t discuss with just you. I’ll have to call Eros and Aphrodite too.”

“yes…”

* * *

Three people, no, three gods gathered in the afterlife.

When I called everyone together, it seemed like everyone knew the whole story about this, and they started arguing.

I tried to stop him, but…

“Eros. Isn’t this what happened again because of your ugly golden arrows?”

“What?! Why don’t you just tell Psyche that she’s destined to marry me!”

“Huh… Who would I want to be like that? How does it feel to receive back the karma you inflicted on me for shooting the golden arrow at me?”

It was such a sight that I just sat there and watched. Let’s see how far he goes.

“Eros, what did I say…? Why didn’t you just quietly aim your lead arrow at that annoying human?! Because of you, I’m going to come to the underworld again and ugh…”

“No. Mother, you haven’t done anything good! How can you be jealous of a person who can’t even live for 100 years at most?”

“Even though his body has grown, his immature personality remains the same. He manipulates other people’s emotions at will…”

“Apollo, do you want to be hit by my golden arrows again? Are you so reluctant to just give me a good oracle?”

“Shoot me once. I’ll show you what it’s like to shoot my sun arrow.”

Look at these guys… there’s not a single one that did very well.

Aphrodite, who was jealous of humans and tried to punish them by sending Eros, and Eros, who was in love with the human’s beauty and sprinkled bitter magic water on it to get it for himself,

Even Apollo, who has not forgotten his past grudge and is preventing Eros from becoming a human he has fallen in love with.

“It’s noisy. Everyone, shut your mouths.”

“But Hades!”

“Aphrodite. Do I have to tell you twice?”

It’s just a total mess. Why are everyone’s personalities like this?

It’s gotten a little quieter though. Now how do we handle this?

If the whole story of this incident spreads, people’s faith will fall to the ground, so if we want to resolve it amicably…

“Eros. You love that human named Psyche?”

“Yes… I can never give up.”

“If that person likes you too, then take responsibility for it. But make sure you give them enough time to get to know each other.”

“Ah…! Yes! Thank you!”

“Still, it wasn’t a good thing to pour bitter water on a perfectly healthy human being. Let’s talk about that later…”

A young god with a decaying face, as if recalling the happy days in the afterlife.

No, the god of love, who had realized love and now took the form of a young man, slowly nodded his head.

“Aphrodite, I will not stop you from punishing that human. I may become angry if his faith declines to the point where dust gathers in his temple.”

“Uh… Okay.”

“But do it in moderation. You know what I mean? Don’t push your son’s wife too hard to test her.”

“But… because of that damn bitch…”

“Aphrodite. Was your beauty, the greatest on Olympus, something so shallow that it changed depending on the perception of humans? In my opinion, no matter how beautiful Psyche is, she can never compare to you. As the goddess of beauty and love, show a little tolerance.”

“That… that’s right… right?! Hades thinks I’m better than that kind of girl…!”

I managed to convince Aphrodite, but… why am I blushing?

You’re so embarrassed, you’re the goddess of beauty, so it’s only natural that you’d be the most beautiful.

Finally… I turned my head towards Apollo.

“Do not continue to use the oracle for your personal feelings. Humans know that your oracle is law, and is nothing less than an absolute command…”

“I understand, Grandfather. But that Eros is firing too many golden arrows…”

“I shot an arrow at Apollo because he provoked me first!”

I have certainly heard what happened at Olympus.

When Apollo played with Eros’s small bow and arrows,

Was it the incident where Eros got angry and shot Apollo with a golden arrow… and then shot a lead arrow at the nymph Daphne whom Apollo had seen?

Eventually, Apollo’s love was ruined, and Daphne was transformed into a laurel tree to escape from Apollo.

“Eros. If you have a complaint with Apollo, couldn’t the two of you resolve it? Why are you dragging a poor nymph into it…”

“Huh… It’s just as Grandfather said. Playing with people’s hearts, with your golden arrow…”

“Apollo. You didn’t do very well either.”

[You are so narrow-minded. Are you sure Orion’s death last time was your doing?]

[Hmm. Grandfather, that’s…]

This incident is the result of all sorts of events, bad relationships, and the pride of the gods becoming entangled.

Unless the three gods, Nana, Poseidon, and Zeus, solve it in one stroke… the problem could continue to get bigger.

It may not be just this incident, but a vicious cycle of resentment breeding resentment may have continued.

Should I make them all work in the afterlife? If they get scolded once, they’ll probably change a little.

No. How long should I keep scolding him? I can’t do this every time in the afterlife, so I’ll leave it to Zeus.

“How long will I have to deal with your thoughts in the afterlife? I will tell Zeus about this first.”

“yes…”

“Okay, Hades…”

“…I’m sorry, Grandfather.”

“I will tell Zeus to give all three of you a severe punishment, so everyone prepare yourself.”

He looked at the three gods who seemed to be dead, then nodded to signal for them to move.

Should I continue to think about it in the nearby office rather than the audience room?

There is nothing we can do about what has already happened, but even now, the king and queen who are praying, and even the human named Psyche…

I guess I’ll have to think about what the best solution would be.

Apollo is the god of reason… Tsk. I guess we should punish him properly.

“Lord Hades, a messenger has arrived from Olympus.”

“What brings you here?”

“Poseidon of Olympus is looking for Apollo… What should we do?”

“…Tell them that once I’m done with the underworld, I’ll send them back to Olympus.”

Poseidon has found out that his son Orion has died.

As soon as I heard the news, I clicked my tongue at Apollo’s face turning pale. So why did you do that…

* * *

The next day, Psyche’s parents, who had been prostrating themselves before Pluto’s temple and begging, were delighted, as if they had met their savior.

Because the high priest of Pluto himself approached them and invited them into the temple, saying that he had an oracle for them.

“Lord Pluto said that in order to avoid a future marriage with a monster, Psyche must spend 100 days on a mountain without ever seeing her husband’s face.”

“If I do that… will my daughter be able to have a normal married life with a husband who is not a monster?”

“Of course. Then tell him that he will live a happier life than anyone else.”

Psyche’s parents were initially greatly relieved and prayed to all the gods in the temple…

He ran to the kingdom in one stride, grateful that his daughter had been given a way to avoid the fate of marrying a monster.

“If I stay in the mountains, my husband will come… for 100 days?”

“Yes, Psyche. Since the god Pluto himself has given you the oracle, you must do so… huff.”

“…Don’t cry, Mother. I’ll be fine wherever I am.”

Psyche left the palace and climbed to the top of a nearby mountain.

But I can’t see anything when I look around. Is my husband around here?

Whee-

“…?! Gyaaak!”

Psyche loses her balance when the wind blows.

But instead of falling down the mountain, she was blown away by the strong wind and flew somewhere.

It’s not just that she’s caught in the wind, it’s like some mysterious force is enveloping her and pushing her far away…

“I don’t know why Hades asked Eurus instead of another wind god…”

“Uh-huh… So all I have to do is bring the new bride to the new groom. This is something I’m an expert at, Eros.”

“Lord Euros? You mean you’re a specialist…”

“Kuuuuuu… Don’t worry, just wait at the mansion.”

…let’s put aside the gods’ business for a moment.

Psyche closed her eyes tightly at the rapidly changing scenery.

A moment later, her feet touched the ground. Was she finally coming down to earth?

Psyche, relieved, had no time to think about the mysterious affair that had just happened to her.

“wow…”

Because now, right before her eyes was an incredibly luxurious mansion where she would spend the next 100 days with her husband.
