"Dear?"
Hearing Pandora's response, Hiro blinked a few times and immediately understood why she had said that.
The Dark Offering on his body directly identified him as Epimetheus-her mythical husband, and the other god who should be aware of the [Circle of Usurpation].
Prometheus was the son of a Titan god.
Epimetheus-the "After-Thinker," the foolish younger brother of Prometheus the "Fore-Thinker"-was naturally not human.
So my earlier "as beautiful as ever" comment was taken by Pandora as proof that I am Epimetheus?
Realizing the nature of this beautiful misunderstanding, Hiro glanced at the perplexed Grayfia beside him and gave her a look that said: listen quietly.
Next came the Oscar-worthy performance.
"Honestly, I didn't expect that after staying in the mortal world for so many years, your impoverished appearance hasn't improved at all."
He looked her over without restraint, clicked his tongue, shook his head, and spoke with genuine regret.
Only then did Pandora seem to notice her current state.
"What!"
Looking down, Pandora half-yelled in surprise. She quickly grabbed the white dress with her right hand to cover herself, while at the same time curling up slightly and pulling her thick mass of purple hair forward.
"Epimetheus! You entered my room without my permission! Have you forgotten our three laws?"
Her face flushed red as she glared at him, desperately widening her eyes to appear more menacing and express her anger.
However, in Hiro's eyes-
Hmm. Good. That's the right vibe.
"As for the three laws," Hiro said calmly, "those were Epimetheus's laws with you. What do they have to do with me, a human named Nanamiya Hiro?"
Under Pandora's furious and supposedly "menacing" gaze, he shrugged indifferently.
"Don't think you can fool your way out just because you changed bodies! Epimetheus! I'm not done with you over this! Now-now get out!"
Pandora glared at him and hurled the two red earrings and the gloves clutched in her left hand straight at him.
Whoosh.
Accompanied by a faint cutting sound, Hiro easily caught the gloves and earrings.
Thud.
"Since you insist, I'll leave first."
Clank.
He tossed the earrings and gloves a few centimeters in front of Pandora's feet, shrugged, and turned to leave her private room.
Under his Observation Haki, a mere wall might as well not exist.
Before leaving, he stopped Grayfia and gave her a look that clearly said: handle it.
Bang.
The wooden door closed in front of her.
Grayfia sighed inwardly.
How am I supposed to handle this?
She didn't know much about the relationship between Epimetheus and Pandora, let alone the fact that this was mythology from another world, with who knew how many differences.
As for Hiro's actions just now, she didn't find them difficult to understand.
He was simply attracted to the girl in front of him-judging purely by appearance.
It just happened that the other party mistook him for her husband from Greek mythology, Epimetheus, so he went along with the misunderstanding and used the false as the real.
While Grayfia was thinking, Pandora quickly finished dressing herself, making her already overwhelming charm even more seductive.
"Grayfia-chan, how did you and Epimetheus meet? And when did he descend from myth and reincarnate as a human? Do you know? Have you met Goddess Athena?"
I've only known Lord Hiro for less than half a month.
How would I know all that?
Grayfia complained inwardly.
Saying nothing would be safest, but recalling her master's look before leaving, she knew she had to be careful and say something.
"This... I don't know about the rest. But as for Goddess Athena, we've had contact recently, though we haven't met face-to-face yet."
"Sure enough, the ritual was also performed for him by Goddess Athena?"
Relying on her enhanced demon hearing, Grayfia caught Pandora's almost inaudible muttering.
Her heart stirred slightly.
A ritual?
Is that another one of Lord Hiro's abilities?
As expected of Lord Hiro.
Pandora finished dressing quickly. Her clothes had been simple to begin with.
And as a goddess born beautiful, she didn't need powder or whitening cream. She was always in her most beautiful state.
Even when undressed.
"Honestly, Grayfia-chan, even if you weren't clear on Epimetheus's identity, you should've let me see first before bringing him over! How could you casually enter a girl's private room! And that Epimetheus guy-don't think that just because you reincarnated as a human and aren't sloppy anymore, you can climb into my bed! You're still just Epimetheus!"
At Pandora's last words, Grayfia frowned slightly.
"Miss Pandora, without Lord Hiro, I wouldn't even be able to enter the Hidden World. It's naturally impossible for me to leave him waiting outside. Please mind your words."
"Oh-oh, sorry. Sorry."
Realizing her slip, Pandora quickly apologized.
My acting... it shouldn't be too bad, right?
After waiting a few minutes in the white fog outside, Hiro heard movement behind him.
Creak.
Turning around, the purple-haired goddess Pandora entered his sight, her face slightly red and her expression faintly dissatisfied.
"So, Epimetheus. What is your purpose in coming to me?"
"Purpose?" Hiro shrugged, looking at her with mild amusement. "Grayfia said you were looking for me, so I came. Seems like I arrived at just the right time."
"Just in time, my foot!!"
Keeping her distance, Pandora stomped the ground fiercely.
After venting, she looked at him with a pout.
"Epimetheus, let me say this first. In the myth, you couldn't touch me even once. Even now that you've reincarnated as a human, you still won't be able to touch me once. Understand? Don't harbor unrealistic fantasies."
Once I've taken all the Luck I need and leave this world, I'll definitely make you meow and bark.
Hiro pursed his lips, completely unconcerned with her tone.
He summoned the Ama-no-Murakumo no Tsurugi and opened the passage back to Mariya Shrine.
"Grayfia, let's go."
"Yes, Lord Hiro."
Grayfia stepped lightly to follow him, then even bowed slightly to Pandora before leaving.
"Miss Pandora, I wish you a pleasant life."
Pandora:
Watching the black hole disappear in front of her, Pandora tilted her head slightly.
Her face was filled with a giant question mark.
Pandora: ...I'll definitely like him later.
