After Seth got the camera he immediately thought of going to Erica's but he couldn't do that, it was the weekend and it was early in the morning Jake probably... no definitely should have been home, he should have taken a different approach, he was mad at himself again for not getting Erica's number. So he spent about 2 hours studying the camera and figuring out how to make it work the way he wanted it to. Then he went and started to eat his breakfast while looking at the camera and talking to Hades.
-Hades, you told me that thanks to the blessing from Aphrodite I will never be NTR and that you will always smell good, the first one is perfect is there any extra useless feature from you?
-Useless?
"Ahem, I meant secondary feature"
- You know what? If a god had said that a human being would despise a gift from the gods, we would have called him crazy or laughed for hours - there was a mocking tone in his voice
Seth bowed his head a little embarrassed "Sorry, it's just that I'm wearing a trace of Aphrodite and I was wondering if I recognized a trace of you, my faithful friend who brought me here."
-..... *grin* Well played, your eyes
"My eyes?"
-The blessing of most gods affects the eyes, Zeus' are yellow, Poseidon's are blue, mine are dark black, you have the same eyes as me.
"It really explains why these eyes are so dark, huh, is there any other difference?"
-I have seen that in mythical times, when I was involved with people and magic, the saint who received Demeter's blessing could even speak to the plants.
"Mythical ages?"
-Well, it's around the time of King Arthur. It was the golden time of many gods, many different names, many different believers from all over the world, and then people started to develop their technology - Hades started to come out a little harder than normal - and as technology developed, people started to turn their backs on magic and the gods. So magic turned its back on people. The gods stayed for a while, but then they got angry and started raining disasters on people. Ares was the one who went the furthest.
"Then what happened?"
-He incited the Thracians against the Amozons. He committed massacres in Thrace with his helpers and 3 rivers of human blood flowed. Eventually the gods of Olympus declared war against Ares, but unfortunately Olympus lost in the war. But since Ares' goal was not to destroy Olympus, he left Zeus on his throne, there were always wars in the human world at that time, Ares completely held the world in his hands for a while, making people taste all kinds of fear and pain. Finally, he made his last agreement with Zeus and said that no god should interfere in the world anymore.
Seth swallowed hard. "What about you?"
-No need to be afraid. At first it was loosened by people no longer believing in us and a long peace between the gods, and I live underground, I've always been the closest to humans, and after all, this isn't Earth.
"I thought I'd be bored at home, but when you have these stories, I'll make a coffee and listen to them without going to sleep"
-Haha, there are really many stories. I could tell you about the scandalous and funny things that happened in the Olympiad, but if you are bored you should walk around a bit, good things can happen to you.
"It's better than sitting idle at home, but I'm more interested in stories right now.... what do you mean when you say good things can happen"
-You are the Main Character of this world, the odds of something good or bad happening to you are much, much higher than the odds of something good or bad happening to anyone else, and with me by your side protecting you, it's probably going to be good.
Seth couldn't see Hades' face, but he was pretty sure he was grinning broadly right now.
"Good, then we'll listen to the stories later, we have plenty of time, let's go out for today."
Seth dressed in comfortable casual clothes. He put on a baseball cap he found at home and went outside. It was hot and people were down and he wandered around for a while. He had paid his rent and bought his monthly groceries, so he was in a good mood, but after recent events and purchases, his money was starting to run out. So he was reluctant to spend money. Just then he saw a familiar face, it was Nila coming the other way.
"Oh, good morning, Seth."
"Good morning, Nila."
"Honestly, I've been wanting to see you. This must be fate or a gift from God to good girls. Can we sit down somewhere and talk?"
'And are you that good girl?'
"Actually, it's pretty hot and I-"
He grabbed Seth's arm, "Oh come on, don't make me beg, I'm buying."
Seth turned with Nila clinging to his arm and suddenly blurted out his thoughts
"I'd love to make you beg, but this is not the place."
Nila's eyes widened, then she grinned slyly, as if to show she liked it. Meanwhile Seth was sighing.
"I said that out loud, didn't I?"
"Yes~"
"Still buying you"

"So, what did you want to talk about?"
"About Lucy, she seemed a bit embarrassed when she came to my house this morning. No matter how many times I asked her, she wouldn't tell me why - that's the first time that's happened - but every time I asked her, she giggle with a stupid smile on her face and then blush. So, long story short, what did you do with Lucy? Is it what I think it is?
"I did what I promised you, I took your thoughts away from Yome and made her happy. I have to admit that the photo you sent me helped a lot. I asked you to send she a dirty photo to distract she, but I didn't expect this, a photo directly from you and your boyfriend was the icing on the cake!"
"Hah, I'm glad it worked out, we fought and broke up after that photo."
".... if this is because of me-"
"Oh, no, no, no. I was going to break up with him anyway. Don't worry."
"Oh, I see, so what are you going to do now, alone for a while?"
Nila was silent and thought for a while, took a sip of her drink and then turned back to Seth.
"I'm not sure being alone doesn't suit me, but .... I think Jack has liked me for a long time, maybe I'll give him a chance"
Seth surprised "Really?" Seth was about to ask Jake for his girlfriend before the transmigration, would it be Nila? But it was impossible to calculate, so he just smiled.
"Yeah, it was obvious, but I ignored it, but maybe now we can have some fun." He looked at Seth with a penetrating gaze "But I'm not sure what you've got to make Lucy have silly dreams~"
"Who knows, maybe you'll find out~"
"Oh, yeah, when?"
Seth looked at Nila's slyly smiling face and suddenly lightning flashed in his head He grinned like a villain
"Nila, if you enjoyed our first collaboration, maybe you'd like to do another one?"
Seeing the smile on Seth's face, Nila responded similarly
"What do you suggest?~"
