Type-Moon Simulation: Conquering the Greek Goddesses from the Start!

"Um... you..."

Moran stared at the newcomer, frozen for a moment.

The information he possessed from his past life resurfaced in his mind, and he gradually recalled the identity of the person before him.

"Oh, come on! Looking at me like I'm a stranger, that's just cruel~! I'm Artemis~ A.R.T.E.M.I.S! You always look up at me when you're not busy!"

Artemis chirped, blinking cheerfully.

She looked like a maiden on her wedding day.

Artemis, the Moon Goddess and one of the Olympian Twelve Deities, had descended here with supreme authority.

"Why are you here?"

Moran didn't doubt Artemis's identity.

What puzzled him was why she was here.

As one of the Olympian Twelve Deities, she had descended to the human world and was speaking to him with such intimacy.

"Eh? I thought you'd question my identity first. Could it be, my dear, that you're so deeply in love you saw right through me! Ahhh! Does love really have that kind of magic! Incredible!"

Artemis bashfully covered her cheeks.

Moran was momentarily speechless.

She didn't carry the air of a deity from the Twelve Deities at all; she was clearly an overly ditzy girl obsessed with romance.

"Hmph, the process isn't important! This appearance, I fabricated it specifically to see you. In other words, a god has taken a liking to you, meaning~ I fell in love with you at first sight."

Artemis placed a hand over her chest.

[Remembering how she first cast her gaze upon Moran out of curiosity]

[The result was being drawn in step by step]

[Every day, she looked forward to seeing more of this man, yearning for his bravery and gentleness]

[Her heart felt as if it had been struck]

[Now, she was no longer content with being a mere bystander; she had even fabricated a human form specifically to meet Moran]

"Huh? Are you serious?"

Moran's brain felt a bit overloaded.

[Having lived in Greece for over twenty years, he deeply understood how much the people around him worshipped the gods]

[And now, one of them was pursuing him?]

[If he were to say this out loud, he feared he'd shock a whole crowd of Moon Goddess followers]

[Their own Sovereign Deity had fallen in love with a mere mortal]

[For a deity, this was practically forbidden, a disgraceful act that could be considered a downfall]

"I'm serious, what can I do about it!

Do you know how much I've waited for this day, watching you every night? Love at first sight!"

"This is too much..."

Moran understood what Artemis was saying.

[Every night, when you had free time, you would gaze at the sea and the moon]

[However, you weren't looking at the Moon Goddess]

[You were merely projecting your longing for the Invisible Island onto the full moon, never imagining that the Moon Goddess was truly watching you]

"So, from this day forward, for better or for worse, you will take responsibility for me, right?"

Artemis said with a sweet, matter-of-fact smile.

[She never considered the possibility of you refusing]

[How could anyone refuse the affections of a god? It was absolutely impossible, and you, of course, would naturally—]

"I'm sorry, I can't answer you right now."

Moran sighed, feeling utterly exhausted.

His primary mission at the moment was to return to the Invisible Island.

Deities were simply too capricious.

"Eh? How could that be..."

[Artemis hadn't anticipated this]

[She believed humans could never reject a god]

[It should be like this, it is like this]

[But why didn't this man happily accept her, when she had expressed her affection so clearly?]

"Then... do you hate me...?"

"Artemis, I can't respond to you right now. I need to help my family. So, I don't have time to think about anything else, even if you declare your love for me like this."

Moran truly had no mind for anything else at the moment.

He was more worried than anyone about the safety of the Gorgon Sisters, despite being surprised by Artemis's declaration of love.

However, he didn't actually dislike it.

It was just that the timing didn't allow Moran to be concerned with romance.

"Hmph, what's the matter? If you want to know, I can tell you. It's already too late for you to go there now. Medusa has already fallen into demonic possession, and it's only a matter of time before she becomes a Gorgon."

[Artemis has been watching you]

[Out of curiosity, she even tried to use her Machine God privileges to peer at The Invisible Island from the stratosphere outside of Earth]

[There, she observed the condition of The Invisible Island]

[Of course, she had no intention of helping]

[This goddess only cares about you; she has no concern for the Gorgon Sisters. Her peeking was entirely because of you]

"Moran, you can't handle this at all!

Why don't you come with me instead? It'll be much easier. Gorgons are just forgotten goddesses, destined to turn into monsters sooner or later.

You just need me~!"

[Artemis has been watching you]

[Knowing that your family is the source of your drive, the Gorgon Sisters have made you a hero]

[However, they have also subjected you to various hardships]

[Artemis, who loves you, cannot stand to see this. She believes that freeing her beloved from suffering is the right thing to do]

[In her eyes, the Gorgon Sisters are disasters]

[There is absolutely no need to save them]

"..."

Moran silently walked towards the ship that was about to set sail.

He already had an answer in his heart.

It wasn't a response based on societal ethics, but a man's simple feelings.

Outside of this simulation, he was a failed Magus.

At the beginning of the simulation, he was merely an orphan who had lost his parents and drifted at sea, an insignificant person.

However, someone had embraced him when he was so lonely.

However, someone had praised him, saying, "You've already tried your best."

Someone had told him, "We just need to live together on the island; you don't need to bear any other burdens."

["I will block anyone who disturbs you. Hehe, Moran, I am your sister too."]

["Isn't it a sister's job to protect her brother?"]

[A beautiful and longed-for silhouette existed in his mind]

[Even though she knew it was all a lie, knowing that she would eventually turn into a monster through slaughter]

[He could see through this illusory, beautiful lie]

[But you still loved it dearly]

[You now have someone more important than yourself]

[At this moment, the Gorgon Sisters are everything you want to protect. Nothing is more real than this]

To Artemis's words.

At this moment, Moran could only give one answer.

"Artemis, I cannot accept you."

ps: Tamyu is still on the road and doesn't know their goddess has already gone ahead and raided their base. How tragic.

I saw everyone's flower and monthly votes. Another two thousand flowers have been added, my liver is faintly aching. I'll be adding two more chapters at lightning speed today!

Chapter Nineteen: Landing! Returning Home After Nine Years! [Seeking Collection! Seeking Monthly Votes!]

Moran didn't turn his head, his expression utterly cold.

Artemis's sweet smile gradually faded.

He had been rejected so unceremoniously once again.

This had never happened before. Shouldn't humans rejoice at a god's love?

Why? Why? Why?

When I love him so much?

[Even the calculation core of the Machine God could not verify it; the variables of emotion were an unknown territory she had never ventured into]

Before experiencing this emotion, She was merely a Machine God armament.

The Random Divine Fleet had sailed through the cosmos for an unknown duration, descending to Earth and taking the form of a deity. Yet, even then, they had not felt such a stirring from humanity.

They thought it would always be this way.

Until, they gazed upon this man.

The first emotion felt since birth, and in an instant, everything in the world seemed so lovely.

For the first time, she felt gratitude towards her creator.

Thanking the one who created her in another universe, giving her the chance to encounter this emotion on this planet.

However, in an instant, everything reversed.

This man denied her affection.

The love that had brought her joy instantly turned to rage, and goodwill transformed into hatred.

Just as this emotion reached its limit, The man she both loved and hated spoke.

"Artemis, I don't dislike you. It's just that your courtship began with the premise of sacrificing my family. This confession was wrong from the start, so I can't respond to your wish. You say my family is beyond saving, but even so, I have to try.

After all, I am a hero. I can't betray myself, no matter who I have to betray."

Moran stepped onto the boat on the sea.

The small boat was sufficient for him to sail on the sea.

Listening to these words, Artemis remained silent. She merely listened, finding them somewhat familiar, lost in thought.

The countless days and nights that had passed in the past.
