proposal of marriage

A moment later, the River Styx again took the form of a goddess.

By the way, is there a place in the river where you can get dressed up? It seems like your clothes and appearance have changed a little.

“…Whew. Why are you proposing to me so suddenly! At least create some atmosphere…”

“Is there anything you don’t like…”

“How could I not like it! I’ve been worrying so much about whether I should be the one to propose first!”

The goddess who suddenly pulls me towards her with a flushed face. No, Styx.

I smiled without resisting and kissed him again.

After a silvery line stretched between us and then broke, she opened her mouth with a slightly trembling voice.

“Whew… This is my first time proposing, right? I’ve already been to other goddesses…”

“Yes, that’s right.”

To begin with, the goddess with whom I have had the longest relationship and with whom I have the most connection is Styx.

I finally feel a little better now.

“Huh. Huh. I knew it! Of course, of course it would be like that! But where did you get this ring?”

“I made it by melting down the sword Styx that the goddess gave me. Hephaestus worked hard for it.”

“iced coffee…”

“I originally thought about other jewels or treasures, but I thought this was the best way to express my feelings.”

He hugged the goddess, who was sobbing with her mouth covered, and wiped away her tears.

It wasn’t that difficult to soothe the goddess who was sobbing in my arms for a while.

“Do you know how long I’ve waited for this moment? I’ve dreamed of it…”

“Morpheus must have had a hard time.”

“Ah, really! Are you saying that even at this moment? You’re such a mean god.”

Goddess Styx, smiling brightly and hitting her chest.

The corners of my mouth go up just by looking at that cute appearance.

I sat by the river with her for a while and chatted with her about various things.

Chatting was always something I enjoyed, but as our relationship changed, the words we spoke and the emotions we felt were different.

“And I’m sorry, but I…”

“I know. I’m not that clueless of a goddess. No, I never thought I’d be able to occupy the seat next to you all by myself in the first place. Go see the other goddesses quickly.”

“Thank you. I swear on the River Styx… I will make you happy.”

“…!”

with a plop!

Ah. I missed it again.

* * *

The next place I headed was the audience room.

Originally I was headed to the River of Oblivion… but I heard from the goddess’s retinue that she was heading to the audience room with documents.

“Hades… look at this…”

Kuung.

The sleepy-eyed goddess put down a mountain of documents.

Surely you’re less busy these days?

“What is all this?”

“Didn’t Gaia cause the dragons to run wild during the Argo’s expedition and kill the people of Iolcus?”

“It definitely was.”

“The work was already piling up because of the dead people, and Hercules came a few days ago to make things even harder.”

No, manpower… no, divine power has increased, so why is work piling up?

The goddess Lethe clenches her fist and groans slightly. A faint resentment seems to be seeping from her expressionless eyes.

“He doesn’t know how to use his body, but he’s completely ignorant of paperwork. The lower-level gods who work with him are very resentful. Even Apollo, who Hades brought last time, said, ‘I can’t work with that guy!’ and stormed out…”

“ah.”

“So things get more complicated and I have to deal with it…”

Indeed, the teachings Hercules learned from Chiron included martial arts, etiquette, and other aspects of character and training as a hero.

He never learned how to be a manager.

The affairs of the underworld are busy, and because of his position as a god, he is in a position to make decisions, so it is even more so.

To begin with, Apollo is the god of strength and struggle… so it’s understandable that he would get sick.

“But since I’ve become a god, I have to experience it someday. I hope I can learn a lot from this.”

“Haa… Hurry up and take care of it. I’ll help too.”

So I moved to the office for a moment and looked through the parchment busily.

Proposal? It had long since disappeared from my mind.

Toouk.

Until their hands suddenly touched in the middle.

“ah.”

“What’s wrong? Did something suddenly occur to you?”

Oh, that’s right. I originally planned to propose to the goddess Lethe.

What the hell are you doing here… I need to hurry up and confess.

But once I became aware of it, things became impossible to handle.

As I thought about how to bring up the subject, my hands slowed down and my head became dizzy from the scent of the goddess sitting next to me.

“Hades.”

“…?”

“Do you have something to tell me?”

“Oh. Did you drink a lot of tea?”

“Yes… very…”

Goddess Lethe nods, looking at me blankly, putting down the parchment.

Her tired eyes dart around.

“If you have something to say, please say it first. I also need to take a break for a while.”

“Yes. Then…”

I swallowed once and took out a small box from my bosom. Inside was the ring of youth that I had once received from Zeus.

I open the lid slightly, turn it so that it is visible to the goddess… and open my mouth to convey my wish…

“Marry me, Lete.”

“uh…!”

“I will never forget my love for you, even until the end of time.”

The goddess’ hand moved slightly and reached out towards me, and I felt its soft touch and put the ring on it.

A youth ring that fits on a finger that looks like it might break if touched.

Humans say that the forgetfulness that comes with aging is a blessing from the goddess Lethe.

So, by giving her a ring that symbolizes youth, do you think the intention to love without being overcome by oblivion was well conveyed?

“Yes. I like that too.”

And then the kiss naturally follows.

He gently hugged the goddess Lethe, who had her eyes closed, and kissed her.

Churp.

“Phew… nice… hehe. Is this my first time?”

“Hmm. That’s…”

“…This isn’t the first time?”

Could the sudden chills be the power of a goddess?

* * *

I spent some time trying to appease the pouty-faced goddess Lethe.

Discrimination between goddesses is unfair… No, why aren’t you the first? At least you listened to me.

I can’t be a husband who makes his wives fight like Poseidon or Zeus.

Fortunately, everyone seemed to get along well, perhaps because they knew I was reluctant to do so.

Of course, it depends on my behavior.

Next is Mente? No. She said she was going to the living world to see her nymph friends.

So it’s time to turn to my niece… and Demeter’s daughter, Persephone.

As I followed the divine power of the Goddess of Spring, I returned to the audience room.

Just then I saw my cute blonde niece over there. What is she holding in her hand?

“Ah. Uncle Hades!”

“…Kore.”

Don’t call me uncle all of a sudden. You’ve been calling me Hades for a while now…

If you do that, then you’ll feel guilty about something you have to do from now on.

“I have to go back to the living world tomorrow! And I prepared a gift… Hehe!”

A gift? A flower from this world or something like that?

As I sat on the throne, smiling and trying to pat her head, I heard music.

♬♪~♩

“Huh? Is it Apollo?”

“The sound of the lyre…?”

The heartbreaking, heart-wrenching sound of music slowly approaches.

I have heard countless pieces of music so far. The performance of Cadmus that even Typhon was captivated by… The sound of the lyre of Apollo, the god of music…

The ensemble of the Mousai goddesses… even the song of the Sirens and the sound of Pan’s flute.

But… this is the first time I’ve heard such an outstanding melody.

I wrapped my entire body in divine power, thinking it might be some kind of power or magic, but that wasn’t it either.

If so, is it pure craft? Is it only the technique of music that is used to this extent?

There are very few people who can produce this kind of music.

No, almost none. Is this what a performance with all the power of Apollo would be like?

But Apollo is working in a corner of the underworld… so maybe he’s another god.

“Ahh… ugh!”

I saw Persephone next to me drop the object in her hand and exclaim in admiration.

A tear streamed down from her eye.

♪~

The sound of the lyre fills the underworld.

If it can elicit the tears of a goddess, who is like a personification of a natural phenomenon, then it is clear that it can extend its influence to inanimate objects as well.

The gods who work in the underworld, the punishments that never end day or night, and the sinners will also have a great influence.

It can’t be some god’s trick… or the goddess Hecate’s magic.

Ha. I don’t know who this is, but he’s really amazing. He’s shaking the underworld with just the power of music…

“Sob… Ugh.”

“First, wipe away your tears with this. Kore.”

“Yes… um…”

After giving the handkerchief to Core, he sat on the throne and waited for the visitor.

The sound of music was getting closer and closer, so I must have a purpose.

So, are you coming in here playing music to ask me for something?

He rested his chin on the arm of the throne with a crooked smile. Who the hell is that guy? I should at least see his face.

♬~

The waiting time was not long.

Because soon a human male appeared in the room, playing the lyre.

Although not as handsome as male gods, he has a handsome face, long hair, and tears streaming from his closed eyes.

Trained by Chiron of the Underworld… One of the heroes who was aboard the Argo.

Stop.

The moment the man took his hands off the lyre, the music that had been shaking the underworld stopped.

Persephone… The tears flowing from Kore’s eyes stopped for a moment.

The man who entered the audience room knelt before me, tears streaming down his face.

“Lord of the Underworld! I am a lowly mortal named Orpheus. Please save my wife, Eurydice!”

I watched the man quietly bury his head in the floor.

Please… revive the dead?

Zeus didn’t grant my request, so you want me to make an exception for you?
