King of Underworld - Chapter 69

The Story of Persephone – (4)

“Huh?”

Only then does Persephone notice the golden arrow stuck in her chest and pull it out.

At the touch of the goddess’ hand, the golden arrow, having fulfilled its purpose, melted into the air and disappeared.

“This is… the golden arrow of Eros?”

Eros, the god of love, is depicted as a child holding a bow and arrow.

He had golden arrows of love and lead arrows of hate.

The golden arrow causes the person who is hit to fall madly in love with another person when he or she first sees that person.

Lead arrows have the effect of causing the person hit to hate another person madly upon seeing them for the first time.

Because it was a secretive and quick arrow, which was the characteristic of love,

Exhausted and exhausted from the prolonged battle, Persephone could not escape…

“The golden arrow… is that right?”

“ha…”

But then Persephone, who had just been shot by the golden arrow, saw me.

Now I have my nephew’s love.

…what should I do with this?

As I was looking in the direction where Eros’ arrow had come from with a dejected face, Persephone spoke.

“But I’m fine. Did I shoot the wrong person? Hehe.”

“…even Zeus would fall in love if he was hit by that arrow.”

The goddess who is looking at me now and laughing must be overflowing with emotions blooming inside her heart even if she pretends not to know.

I can’t pretend not to know since I clearly saw that I was hit by Eros’ arrow. How on earth do I fix this?

His father was Zeus, the king of gods, and his mother was Demeter, the goddess of the earth…

If something goes wrong, a war could really break out.

“But… I’m really fine. By the way, are you planning on going back to the afterlife now?”

“I’m just going to clean up this area for a bit and then go back.”

The aftermath of the fight with the Gigas left the surrounding area in complete ruins.

As if Zeus’ thunderbolt or Poseidon’s trident had struck him,

Everywhere you looked, the ground was turned upside down and the cracks were countless.

The peak of Mount Etna, where Typhon was sealed, was blown away by the aftermath of my attack,

The forests, fields, and streams of the beautiful plains were left in a hideous state, destroyed.

Most of those nymphs were either dead or had run away, so they weren’t even visible…

As he was looking around at the traces of destruction that would make even the god of nature, Pan, terrified, his nephew reached out his hand.

A warm and gentle divine power felt with him.

“Uncle Hades! I’ll do the same. I’m the goddess of spring and seeds, so I can do this too.”

Saaaah-

Green waves spread from Persephone’s hands, gently caressing the earth.

Grass grows beside fallen trees, and the barren plain regains its color.

Well, it would be better for the goddess of spring to take care of it rather than me, who rules over the underworld.

It would have been a lot easier if Pan or Demeter were here…

“How was it? Did I do well? I usually only use it when playing with nymphs, but this is just as expected…”

“…Okay. Good job.”

My nephew was really cute as he looked at me and chattered as if he was asking for my compliments.

An outstanding beauty that stands out even among the beautiful goddesses of Olympus.

Her father, Zeus, has golden pupils and hair. Her body is shaped like a circle, with where it should come out and where it should go in.

Any lustful male god would welcome with open arms the fact that such a goddess has fallen in love with him.

“What are you thinking about just standing there? Tell me too!”

But he’s my nephew…

* * *

“Whew… I’m done. I’ve cleaned everything up.”

While I was searching the surroundings, looking for and tracking traces of Gigas,

Persephone restored the ruined earth to some extent.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“Hehehe… Are you really going to go to the afterlife now? I want to go too!”

I was frozen by the words that came out of Persephone’s mouth, smiling like a flower in full bloom.

Yeah, that’s exactly the problem…

Anyone struck by Eros’ golden arrow falls in absolute love.

The power of emotion that not even Zeus, me, or Poseidon can refuse.

Among the dead who have come to the afterlife, there are many who were hit by Eros’ arrows while alive, so we know its power well.

If they confirm their love for each other and one side accepts, it will end in a happy ending, but

If one side refuses to the end or if it doesn’t work out due to differences in status, etc…

Take up arms and cut down those who stand in the way of your love, or cry sadly and commit suicide,

There were also those who went mad, clutching their hearts that felt like they were going to burst and blaming God.

It is truly an appropriate expression to use, ‘blinded by love’.

Just imagine what would happen if I rejected my nephew outright…

“You may think I look good because of Eros’ arrow, but that is a false feeling. I cannot take you to the underworld…”

“Yes… Yes, yes…? Heuk… Huh… Huhhhhh!!!”

“Even if you cry like that, I can’t take you to the afterlife…”

“If I die… If I die, I can go to the afterlife! Even if I die…”

Yeah, there’s going to be a suicide commotion by the goddess right now.

If even the goddess of spring and seeds, daughter of Zeus and Demeter, were to commit suicide at the entrance to the underworld…

“Your Majesty! This is a serious matter! It was snowing yesterday, but today the sun is hot…”

“The season of spring has disappeared! The gods must be angry!”

“The strange phenomenon of seeds not growing has occurred… Has something happened to the Olympus gods?”

The whole world will be in chaos because of the goddess of spring and seeds who has abandoned her work.

Then of course her mother, Demeter…

“What?! My daughter tried to commit suicide because she wanted to go to the afterlife… What? She was hit by a golden arrow and fell in love with Hades, but he rejected her, so that’s why?”

“The land has completely dried up!”

“I consulted the oracle at Delphi and it said that it was because the goddess Demeter was very angry…”

“O Zeus, crops no longer grow on the earth…”

Demeter will surely do something too.

Rather than being a goddess like Hestia, she is more similar to Artemis.

If her emotions fluctuate, the earth will dry up and the number of people coming to the afterlife will only increase.

It doesn’t end here.

Her father is Zeus, the king of the gods.

“Brother Hades… rejected Persephone, and because of that, he tried to commit suicide and go to the underworld…”

“Yes, father. I asked Demeter…”

“Is that why Demeter abandoned her work?”

“yes…”

“…Even if you are Hades, this is a bit too much. I guess we need to talk for a bit.”

All kinds of protest documents rain down on the afterlife, and souls that starved to death flock in.

Both mortals and immortals will condemn the underworld.

All this disaster that had just happened in my head…

This is what could happen if you don’t take your beautiful niece, who is laughing in front of you right now, to the afterlife.

“Uncle Hades? So can I go too? Hehe… I’ve always wondered what the underworld would be like.”

Even though he is looking at my face and smiling happily now…

If you provoke her too much by mistake, chaos will come to the world.

“It’s a little embarrassing when you stare at me like that. Hehe…”

Oh my god, Zeus.

I would rather fight my father Cronus one more time.

* * *

There’s nothing I can do.

First, we need to take him to the afterlife and then gently appease him.

“…Okay. I can show you around. Follow me.”

“Wow! Thank you, Uncle!”

Persephone opens her arms and hugs me.

Should I accept this? If I don’t accept it, I might cry and say that I don’t like it…

Prison.

The volume felt on my chest and the fresh scent of spring tickles my nose…

“Ehehe…”

I’m going crazy.

No, is that right? I’m taking my nephew, who was hit by Eros’ arrow, to the underworld.

“Now stop sticking around and get on the train…”

“Hey… Your chest is really wide… Can’t we continue like this?”

“…Then it’s uncomfortable, so sit next to me.”

“yes!”

I carried Persephone, who was smiling brightly, and headed to the entrance of the underworld.

“Wow! These words are cute!”

Phew… Phew?!

Don’t stroke the mane of a running ghost horse…

They are flustered when a goddess with the exact opposite energy to them suddenly strokes them from behind…

How did you get her to the afterlife?

Persephone looks around the dark landscape of the underworld as if she is amazed, without being frightened at all.

“Wow, there’s a cute puppy here too?”

“Cerberus, the child of Typhon. I brought him here and made him the god of the underworld.”

Ugh… Grumble?! Growl?

Persephone caressed the three-headed dog, which was flustered when the goddess, whom she was seeing for the first time, showed interest in her.

Cerberus is unable to come to his senses due to the sudden onslaught of affection.

The fearsome gatekeeper of the underworld seemed to be trying to gauge my relationship with Persephone.

He moved his eyes busily and eventually collapsed, showing his stomach.

Heh heh! Heek!

“Uncle Hades! Look at this. It’s really soft. Hehe!”

No, even though it looks like that, it is a powerful monster in its own way.

Maybe I can bite off a Gigas or two?

“I’m busy with work, so please stay in this room for a while and let the attendant know if you need anything.”

“Yes! …Oh. You know how to do this too?”

Kerrung?! Heh heh!

I must discuss the matter of Gigas with the other gods, so I will leave it to the attendant for a moment and return later.

When I was in this world, I had to check on the pending trials and the current situation in the afterlife…

“Lord Hades! You came at a good time. I have a matter to settle in person…”

“Morpheus. Is this the problem of the dead again?”

“Oh, if you look this way…”

“We need to discuss this issue with other gods…”

I had a brief chat about work with Morpheus, who had found me, and signed off on the documents.

He hurriedly turned back, saying that it was time to go and tell the humans his dream.

Now he moved to pick up Persephone who was in the room.

Ododok. Yum yum.

And then I found my cute nephew eating a pomegranate from a small bowl.

Who put the pomegranate in this room? Was this originally a resting place for other gods?

Wait… According to the laws of the underworld, anyone who eats food from the underworld…

“Hehehe… Uncle Hades! Uncle, you should try this too! Even in the underworld, the fruit is fresh.”

I looked at my nephew, who had red pomegranate juice flowing from the corner of his mouth, and then put my hand on his head.

…What the hell.
