Chapter 296
"He's quite a beautiful boy, isn't he? Is this boy interested in me?"
"It's still in the stage of arranged marriage, and besides, Hera, I plan to talk to other goddesses as well."
Hera is the goddess of motherhood.
The other party is a 12-year-old boy with the blood of a god and a dragon.
He should be a perfect match.
"So, Hades, who are the other goddesses you plan to talk to? Why did you come to me?"
"Because this boy prefers older women, I talked to you first! But, sorry, in their world, polygamy is allowed, so you won't be the only wife! I plan to approach Aphrodite, Athena, and Artemis as well."
"Oh, in that case, there's no need to approach them! I should be enough on my own."
"But, it can't be that simple, can it? If I choose only you, there will be conflicts among the goddesses like during the golden apple incident, and it will cause trouble for the other party. The other party is a powerful being, a god from a different dimension."
"That's not a problem! It's a bigger problem to introduce other goddesses!"
"Why would that be?"
"Should I explain? Athena and Artemis are virgin goddesses. Would they allow him to be violated by other women? Especially Athena, she is a germaphobe who would kill a boy who accidentally spilled his sp*rm in her temple. Polygamy is impossible. Artemis has similar traits, so it's impossible. When you think about it, there are only two choices from the beginning, me and Aphrodite, right?"
Indeed, it's difficult to marry a virgin goddess.
It's natural that it comes down to those two choices.
"In that case, if I talk to Aphrodite and introduce you two..."
"Haa~ Hades, as the king of the underworld, haven't you forgotten Aphrodite's true nature? That goddess has the ability to make even gods fall in love with her if they are men! Many men, including gods, are in love with her, captivated by her intense love and desire. If you send Aphrodite to another world, the boy will definitely be resented by the male gods! Are you sure about that? Besides, she is strong-willed and proud, and she never compromises when it comes to her beauty. If you put her in a polygamous relationship, it will definitely be distasteful, won't it?"
Now that she mentions it, that's true.
And when I think about it, as Bauer said, there's no choice but Hera.
But there is one thing that worries me.
Hera is the wife of my brother Zeus.
"Is it not a problem? Because you are the wife of my brother Zeus?"
"Zeus' infidelity is well-known in Olympus! Naturally, you know that too, right? And you also know that I punish his mistresses every time."
"Oh..."
"If I'm not in Olympus, Zeus will have free rein with young women, so he should agree to a divorce. There shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"Indeed... but this discussion is still in the stage of arranged marriage..."
"Do you think there is any being who would reject the love of the goddess Hera on the condition that he likes older women?"
"...Okay, let's continue the discussion."
Huff, she's already determined to get married, huh?
If it were to be called off from here, the underworld would be in big trouble.
"I'm counting on you."
There's no choice but to move forward.

"Little brother Zeus, I have a story like this..."
"Brother, I want you to summarize that story! If you can summarize it, I, under the name of Zeus, will give you anything you want from the mortal world."
"But isn't Hera your wife?"
"Indeed, I'm also at fault, but because of that, many women have tasted more suffering than hell from her. Even if I and other gods protected them, it was in vain. Even now, many goddesses fear her. To be honest, it's a relief."
"But..."
"This debt is significant. I will be grateful to my brother for the rest of my life! That's right, if my brother chooses to bring someone to the underworld, you can choose Persephone! How about that condition? And, if you ask Eros, he can shoot an arrow at Persephone to make her fall in love with you! Will you accept this condition?"
"Is that true? It's not a lie, is it?"
Persephone, whom I loved.
I kidnapped her and made her my wife, but we can only be together for four months out of the year, the time she ate four pomegranate seeds.
(*There is a rule that those who consume food from the underworld must reside in the underworld. Therefore, Persephone, who ate four out of the twelve pomegranate seeds, must spend four months of the year in the underworld.)
I have no choice but to abide by the rule, that's all.
There is no love for me there.
Not only am I not loved, but I am also resented, and I understand it well.
But if Persephone truly loves me, there is no way I won't act with this reward.
"Little brother Zeus, leave it to me!"
"I have entrusted it to you, big brother Hades."
To think that proud brother Zeus is calling me big brother...
This marriage proposal must be settled without fail.
If I fail, the two main gods may become my enemies.

The next day, Zeus and Hera officially divorced, and Hades felt a pain in his stomach.
Hello, we have a new project about someone who has returned from an isekai. The main character is a hero who has defeated the Demon Lord. However, for some reason, the human-demon war has resumed and will take place in the MC's original world. The MC, unaware of this, meets a Saint from that world and asks them to join the war. But what does the MC say? They refuse. Is it because their love was rejected by the princess when they adventured together in the past or are they simply fed up? And are the MC will join later?
