In terms of appearance, Athena is the type that is soft-spoken, gentle, and easy to...
Clearly a powerful goddess, but the form she manifests is that of a completely petite little girl.
She has short white hair, light pink eyes with a hint of red. Although she always maintains an expressionless, emotionless face, upon closer inspection, you can still see a faint smile.
As for other aspects, her skin is very fair, fairer than anyone else's, like porcelain.
It's just that she's wearing a student uniform of unknown origin and a woven hat vaguely shaped like cat ears. I have to say, aside from the color not being right, it's quite cute in appearance.
Unfortunately!
The knee-high socks she wears are blue, which isn't interesting at all.
So Kaito reached out and took out a pair of white stockings.
"Ahem, put these on first."
"???"
Athena tilted her head, revealing a cute, bewildered expression.
'Wait a minute!?'
'Didn't you just say you wanted my mother to come out?'
'Why are you suddenly taking out a pair of white knee-high socks and asking me to wear them?'
'Is there something seriously wrong with this Kaito???'
"Campione Kaito, I do not understand why you are doing this."
"Don't ask, the reason is that you're very cute, but I want to make you even cuter."
Saying this, Kaito took out another uniform from the Gate of Babylon.
Unfortunately, due to size issues, Kaito had to put it back helplessly.
'Ah, it seems Athena can't wear the clothes I bought for Ai in Fuyuki City.'
'After all, Athena is a bit taller than Ai.'
'Too bad!'
"...Let's get down to business. Can you return the [Gorgoneion] to me?"
"Give it to you..."
Athena's somewhat cute, pleading expression made Kaito's heart flutter a little.
But if he gave her the [Gorgoneion], this cute Athena would disappear.
Speaking of which, the cutest Athena is the one who, for fun, deliberately seals her memories and abilities!
After all, when Athena retrieves the Gorgoneion, she returns to her true nature.
She will grow from her current form into a seventeen or eighteen-year-old maiden, her clothes changing to the robes favored by the ancient Greeks, and wearing a laurel wreath on her head.
She would become a peerlessly beautiful woman, exuding a queenly aura.
In the setting of Campione, Athena is the goddess of snakes, the goddess of death ruling the underworld. Her weapon is the scythe of death, which gathers the words of death, or a bow and arrow. The attack she unleashes is death itself.
Also, there's a private setting where Athena and Medusa were originally the same goddess. Tracing back to the source, Athena is the goddess of snakes, and moreover, Athena's mother, Metis, was originally Athena.
This is the trinity goddess. When needed, she can utilize all three divine personalities simultaneously.
For example, while maintaining the combat goddess Athena, she can use the nature of Medusa to defend with Medusa's power, or use the Medusa's Eye to turn everything within sight to stone.
Or wield the scythe of death in combat.
"Alright, I'll give it to you then."
After thinking it over, Kaito finally handed the [Gorgoneion] to Athena.
After Athena obediently reached out and took the [Gorgoneion] from Kaito's hand, she stepped back a few paces.
Then...
She began to grow.
From a loli form, she transformed into a mature woman's form. A glow enveloped her body, and when it dissipated, she was dressed in a distinctive Greek robe.
"Campione Kaito, you are truly interesting. I truly cannot fathom why you would do this. Is it to fight me after I reclaim the [Gorgoneion] and take my superior authorities?"
After Kaito looked at Athena, who had transformed into the Metis form, he also took off his hat and sunglasses, revealing his handsome face, and observed Athena with an interested expression.
He must say, really beautiful!
Unfortunately, she seems a bit 'crazy', smiling with a somewhat yandere, dark expression?
"Hello, Metis, nice to meet you!"
"Oh? I don't think so. You should just state your purpose! If you wish to battle me, because you voluntarily returned the [Gorgoneion] to me, I might just spare your life."
Metis (Athena) smiled as she replied, simultaneously drawing her signature scythe of death.
"I have no intention of fighting you. Even though you possess authorities I greatly covet, it seems I can't bear to attack you."
"...Hahaha! Have you been captivated by me?"
"Ah, yes, yes, yes, yes!"
"???"
Metis was dumbfounded.
'I just said that casually, why are you so quick to nod your head frantically in agreement!'
'You shouldn't be like this!'
'How can you be such a lecher!!!'
'Shouldn't you be a majestic, awe-inspiring demon king, drawing your blade and attacking me!?'
'You're a Campione and I'm a Heretic Goddess, we are naturally opposing camps! How can you be captivated by me!!'
"Can I take that as you joking with me?"
"It's not a joke. Rather, would you consider leaving this planet with me and going out to have some fun? Like fighting lifeforms from other planets in other universes or galaxies?"
"Other universes and galaxies? Fighting lifeforms from other planets?"
Metis's beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly, but she quickly guessed what Kaito meant.
'So, he wants to take me in as a subordinate, even a hired thug, is that it!!'
"Ha! You want me to follow you, to become your subordinate, is that it?"
"I wouldn't mind other identities as well."
"..."
She understood instantly.
She couldn't not understand; Kaito's gaze was simply too intense.
When facing her as Athena, Kaito was just interested in her, finding her cute. But the moment she transformed into Metis, regaining the divine personality of Athena's mother, his entire demeanor changed drastically, like a wild beast!
'This is bad. Athena (daughter), save me!'
'This man is dangerous!'
Swoosh—!
The queen-type Metis disappeared, transforming back into the loli-type Athena.
"I... well, I concede defeat. If I insist on fighting you, I probably won't fare well either, right?"
"Hahaha! So you're not going to struggle?"
"I wouldn't mind struggling a bit, but I also don't want to get hurt."
Fighting is possible, she might even win, but what comes after the fight?
She would inevitably be severely wounded!
Since doing so would yield no results, she might as well choose to temporarily join Kaito.
Because she is also very interested in this Kaito, this person from the outside world. What does he want to do?
That planet-destroying starship, capable of annihilating a planet, she had also heard about it from some people...
