A World Where Only the Dog Gets Hurt

Meanwhile, aboard the Argo.

Achoo!

A sudden chill ran through him, and Samael on the deck sneezed loudly. As if sensing something, he rubbed his itchy nose, looked up at the two petite purple-haired girls behind him who had spread out a tablecloth and occupied a large space, rolled his eyes, and snorted irritably.

"You two are a menace! Why didn't you move to the Elysium with the Serpent Mother? Why are you still causing trouble outside?"

"The Elysium is nowhere near as fun as the earth. Those heroes are all wary of us, as if we're going to do something bad. It's so boring."

Euryale, kneeling on the tablecloth, glanced at Samael and waved her hand in complaint.

The moment the Purple Haired Girl let go and turned around, a figure forced to lie on the ground rolled his eyes, his eyes filled with wild joy, and quietly moved his limbs, sticking out his buttocks, and secretly slipped around the corner.

"Um?"

But as one of the doors opened, sensing the movement, a purplish-red snake-like creature with vertical pupils peered down from the shadows, giving a casual glance and emitting a soft, nasal sound.

"Awoo..."

The three enormous dog heads, staring at the nightmarish figure at the door, all shuddered in unison, whimpering and tucking their tails between their legs as they retreated in fear to lie down beside Euryale.

"I told you not to move, be a good boy and listen to me!"

Seeing that Cerberus was trying to sneak away while he wasn't looking, Euryale slapped the three menacing dog heads in annoyance, and then continued to trim its hair and do its makeup.

Then, clusters of small braids, tied with rubber bands, took shape one after another from Euryale's slender white fingers, even the tails of which had an extra, rather girlish bow.

Seeing Cerberus, Stheno nodded in satisfaction, leaned against the doorway, turned to look into the dark interior, and waved with delight.

"Medusa, come here. Don't make me say it twice, Medusa."

The goddess's seemingly gentle smile and whispers carried an undeniable sense of destiny.

Immediately following, amidst a series of rustling and stumbling sounds, little Medusa, her face flushed, hesitated, crossed her arms over her chest, and moved her body step by step with a rather shy air.

"What kind of person hides in their den all the time?"

However, before Medusa could fully prepare herself for her appearance, Stheno grabbed her sister's wrist and forcefully pulled her from the shadows to her side.

"Little Medusa, don't be afraid. No one is blaming you. Hmm, you are absolutely beautiful. Don't move your hands. Let me take a good look at your face."

As she spoke, Stheno pried open and pressed down Medusa's two arms, which were tangled up with the hem of her clothes and had nowhere to go. She looked at the exquisitely crafted miniature toy in front of her with great interest, from top to bottom, and exclaimed with satisfaction.

Similarly, Samael, standing to the side, was also amazed by Anna's appearance after being forced to change her clothes.

Wearing a white and purple Greek-style long dress that flowed down her back, Anna's gloomy temperament, which was afraid of seeing people, was softened, and she appeared more elegant and holy as a goddess. The intricate black lace lining revealed her fair and delicate collarbone, and her smooth purple hair was tied up with a woven crown, which gave her a gentle and natural charm, thus revealing her youthful and lovely charm.

It must be said that Stheno's aesthetic sense and fashion sense are truly excellent. The dress she prepared for little Medusa, modeled after her own and Euryale's attire, perfectly matched Medusa's introverted and repressed temperament.

"Look, I told you this outfit was perfect! Our teacher was completely mesmerized. As goddesses, we are born to capture the hearts of all brave men, so dressing up nicely is our duty."

Stheno glanced teasingly at Samael, who was standing behind her in a daze, and then chuckled as she pinched Medusa's cheeks, her eyes filled with narcissism and satisfaction.

"I'm telling you, even if you two don't want to go to Elysium, why don't you just stay on the Isle of No Return and enjoy your lives instead of coming to the Argo to join the fun?"

Having been teased a little, Samael snapped out of his daze and pressed for an answer, sounding annoyed.

"You said it's lively here, so of course we can't miss something this interesting."

Stheno casually answered while making minor adjustments to Medusa's clothing.

As beings possessing the core of a goddess and endowed with immortality by nature, finding ways to pass the time and have fun during their long lives is undoubtedly their way of life, reflecting their interest in the world.

"Teacher Samael, we came here to help, after all. Such a beautiful and lovely goddess has personally descended upon us. Shouldn't we feel happy and touched?"

After Euryale stuffed a piece of pastry into her mouth and chewed it, she waved her little fist with one hand and angrily protested against Samael's constant questioning.

"If you'd like to help, could I make a request?"

The ancient serpent was quite intrigued and moved closer, staring intently at Euryale, its eyes gleaming.

The burning gaze upon her skin gave Euryale a sense of being the center of attention, and she proudly raised her chin.

If you take a point before you grab Medusa, you'll definitely be able to bully her until she cries.

Euryale gave her sister, who was being manipulated by Stheno like a puppet, a malicious glance. Then, she moved her eyes to Samael, raised her hand to her lips, and her eyes shone with a bright light.

"Hmm, go ahead and say it. This goddess has already agreed, dear teacher. If you admit that you've been captivated by our charm, don't be shy, just say it out loud. Anything is fine with you."

"If you're satisfied, then things will be much easier."

Samael, looking completely captivated, gripped Euryale's hand tightly and spoke with deep affection.

"I only have one request, can I... return it?"

"..."

Euryale's playful smile froze instantly. Realizing she had been tricked, her teeth chattered.

"That's outrageous! We came here to help! Not only are you ungrateful, but you're also heartlessly trying to kick us out!"

"You guys? You're trash with a combat power of less than 5! Every time we met, you've caused more trouble than you've helped! You might as well just jump ship and go to bed early tonight!"

Samael's expression shifted, revealing a cold smile, before he, as an elder, belittled and listed the two men's numerous misdeeds.

Euryale, enraged and embarrassed, unconsciously threw a punch...

Clench it tightly, and it will harden!

"If you try to get rid of me, I'll..."

"Heh, what can you do about it?"

"I will!"

"Say it, you've already done this kind of thing back in school, do you think I'm afraid of yours..."

"Awoo!"

With a flick of the fingers, a handful of dog meat appeared in the goddess's small hand.

"I may not be able to beat you, but I can still bully it!"

Euryale confidently shifted the target of her hatred, Cerberus, who was innocently caught in the crossfire, was first dumbfounded, then grimaced and screamed, looking at Samael with teary eyes.

"Alright, alright, if you want it to stay, then stay. The dog has had enough bad luck, so you'd better stop bothering it."

Samael's lips twitched, he raised his hand to his forehead, and reluctantly gave in.

Only after receiving a satisfactory answer did Euryale change her expression and let go. The dog, who had been ravaged by the abuse, felt as if it had been granted a pardon and ran to Samael's feet in a panic, sticking out its tongue obsequiously.

"You've had your fun, let Anna come with me."

Samael comforted Cerberus, then pointed at Medusa and raised an eyebrow with a soft snort.

"We still have a lot to say to Medusa. If you want her, come and get her tonight."

However, Stheno remained enthusiastic about changing his sister's clothes and casually brushed it off with a smile.

"Samael, it's alright, you go ahead and do your work. I'm happy to be with my sisters and I want to spend more time with them."

Anna hesitated for a moment, and the ancient snake gently shook its head.

Samael nodded helplessly upon hearing this, and had no choice but to leave with the dog to reconnect with his old friends on the Argo and discuss strategies for breaking through the Persian naval defenses.

"Hmm, not bad, we haven't spoiled you for nothing. Now, get ready, we're going to do something even more fun."

As the only teacher who could keep them in check walked further and further away, Stheno stroked little Medusa's head, a pleased smile playing on her lips, and gave Euryale a wink.

"Yes, sir, it's a very interesting thing."

Euryale immediately understood, threw away the dog in her hand, clapped her hands, and came forward with a smile. She picked up the little Medusa on both sides, dragged the bewildered little lamb into the house, and furtively closed the door.
