Chapter 162 – Because of You, Take Responsibility (8)
Time is limited.
Dionysus at first thought nothing of it.
Time flows anyway, and it means nothing to the titans who live forever.
Two hours would be a very short time.
No, it would be a rather long time.
Just ask and leave.
Mother Semele is a dead soul anyway, and she doesn’t even reincarnate right away, so two hours is enough.
You ask a question, get an answer, and you’re done.
Two hours is way too much time for that.
After meeting with mother?
A meeting with your birth mother?
Questions about various things?
What is the use of all that?
The reason Dionysus came to see her mother was to find her self.
Anything else is not necessary.
‘, Thought Dionysus.
“Mother…?”
“…You are my child.”
Semele, a woman wearing a black veil and a transparent dress, greeted Dionysus somewhat.
“I know as soon as I see you. You are my child.”
Perhaps because of Hades’ consideration, the two sat across a table in a small room, and Dionysus sat across from Semele.
“Zeus came to the underworld later and told me. She had to name the child, but after looking at my notebook, she decided to name it Dionysus.”
There was an invisible, transparent wall between the two.
It was because Dionysus reached out his hand that he knew there was a wall.
“Ah…”
Dionysus was surprised by the outstretched hand of her, and Semele smiled bitterly at Dionysus.
“She looks very much like him.”
“Am I…?”
“He secretly had a lot of curiosity around him. If you had any questions, you had to check them out yourself.”
“My father…”
Tick tock, tick tock.
The hourglass on the table still has a long way to go.
“Okay, what’s going on?”
“Uh, I…”
Dionysus looked Semele up and down her, and as she descended to her underworld, she let her words out of her mouth her.
“Uh, uh…”
But.
Her mouth her didn’t come off easily.
“Well, that’s it. Now I’m an adult and I have to find my power…”
I didn’t know what to say, and with Semele in front of me, I didn’t know what to say.
“Uh, huh…?”
Juruk.
Tears flowed from Semele’s eyes her.
“This… Why?”
She did n’t know why she was crying, she could n’t understand why she could n’t get her words her right.
“Throat…”
I have a sore throat.
Dionysus was genuinely taken aback by the state he had never felt before, the emotions he had never felt before, and his heart pounding and his stomach aching for the first time in his life.
“Oh my, why am I doing this…?”
“I’m sorry.”
Semele was the first to apologize.
“I want to hug you and comfort you, but I am the dead and you are the living.
“That…”
“Cry when you want to cry. That’s how you feel better.”
“…”
Dionysus looked closely into Semele’s eyes her.
“I’m sorry. I couldn’t hug you once, so I can only comfort you with words.”
Semele’s tears seemed to be welling up in her eyes as well, and Dionysus hurriedly wiped his eyes with his sleeve her.
“…Can I call you Mother?”
“I’ve been your mother from the beginning, baby.”
“…”
Baby.
It was a phrase she had heard many times from her other mothers, but the feeling of hearing it from Semele was distinctly different.
Her sensation of something rising in her chest was certainly not in vain.
“Mother…”
Dionysus was now concentrating on Semele’s voice, gestures, actions, tone of voice, everything about Semele.
“I-I-I came down because I had a question.”
“What is it, baby?”
“…Why did my mother give birth to me?”
“…”
It wasn’t the original question.
But even a titan could not contain the words that sprang out without her knowledge of her.
“…Why did you give birth to me?”
As if questioning, Dionysus was surprised to realize that his own voice was standing on me.
“That.”
Semele closed her eyes for a moment.
“…What kind of person am I?”
“I know. Time is running out, so hurry up. I know you’re the princess of Thebes, and I know you’re related to her grandfather her, Cadmus. So.”
Secret of birth.
No one told Dionysus how he was born or why he was born of a human being.
“Why did you want to give birth to me? Please tell me.”
But Dionysus did not live like an idiot.
Semele was a princess of Thebes.
Zeus decided to hold Semele, who was not married due to her promise her to her hero her Cadmus.
She also knew that she could not stand the power of the great god Zeus and died giving birth to her child.
Because I researched it.
Before embarking on a journey to find his roots, Dionysus obtained and combined information from his surroundings his as much as possible.
Conclusion thus obtained.
“Was I just a child born out of a promise?”
“It is not so.”
“Sure?”
“…I’m saying this because I’m dead. No, if you commit blasphemy here, you’ll fall into hell, but I have to make this clear to you.”
Semele’s voice began to grow determined.
“It is certain that my father, King Cadmus, asked the god Zeus to take me. But I did not conceive you because of that promise.”
“Sure?”
“God Zeus asked me first. The god Zeus asked me, a mere human being, if he could take you.”
“…”
A father certainly can.
Because it’s Zeus.
However, it was hard to believe that he asked permission from a human and sowed his seeds.
Because it’s Zeus.
A being called Zeus is a being who can do whatever he wants if he wants, and a human being should open his legs obediently if Zeus wishes.
Dionysus learned that from his mother and his half-sisters his, who raised him.
He learned as a titan and grew up as a titan.
But among those titans, Zeus, who is at the top, asked permission from humans?
“You might be having a hard time. This is an adult story.”
“Adult…”
“Zeus treated me as a woman. He treated me as a woman, regardless of whether I was a titan, a nymph or a human.”
“That… The authority of the Lord…”
“It could have been an act of dropping it. But Zeus-sama was considerate of me.”
Semele reached out his hand toward the transparent wall.
“He gave me love, and I responded to his love. In a relationship with him, I fell in love.”
“Love…”
It’s an empty sound.
“I can’t believe it. You’re trying to use your father Zeus, aren’t you?”
“…”
“A titan god, and also a human who gave birth to a child of the main god of Olympus, to bring prosperity to the kingdom? Isn’t that because of a purpose?”
“I don’t know if I’m qualified to say this, but…”
Semele raised her hand and continued her words.
“I swear to the River Styx, I did not intend to give birth to you for any personal purpose.”
“…”
It is the power of the titans to swear by the river Styx.
A man who dares to mention the River Styx is disrespectful, but there are times when he wants to say that his heart his is true.
“I fell in love with Zeus-sama, and Zeus-sama treated me with love even as a human being. You are a child born of love between me and Zeus-sama.”
“Love…”
“I don’t have much time, but…”
Semele stroked her hourglass and quietly opened her mouth to Dionysus.
“Mama, how was her dad her and… Will you listen?”
* * *
“Write.”
The two hours are now nearing an end.
Persephone stood alone in the hallway, waiting for the door to open.
Dionysus.
Although he is a half-brother, he grew up under the care of the gods and is still an immature being.
“The bees are weak…”
Hades limited the time to two hours.
If she had been in a position to punish him, he would have experienced hell instead of just giving her two hours to meet.
If you go around and claim to be a child of Zeus, it is an insult to all of Zeus’ children and an insult to Zeus.
The children of Zeus are now approaching triple digits, but I haven’t heard of any of them having a major accident.
Perhaps Dionysus was the first to have such an accident.
Persephone was genuinely worried.
“If you can’t come to your senses…”
“Are you worried about Dionysus?”
“…Hades-sama. It’s not like that.”
“You seem to worry a lot for something like that.”
“Ha, who…”
“Looking at this, you’re the same as your brother.”
“… I will listen as a compliment.”
I don’t know in what way they are similar, but Hades’ words didn’t make Persephone feel too bad.
But.
“If Dionysus is out of his mind, then he won’t stay still. I told my father…”
Profit.
The door is open.
Dionysus, his eyes reddened, came out with a complicated face.
“…Is it over?”
“Yes. I’m sorry, Master of the Underworld.”
Persephone was taken aback by Dionysus’ upright appearance of his.
“Two hours, wasn’t it too short?”
“It is my responsibility as punishment for my rudeness.”
Even though he said that he met his mother her, Persephone was even scared to see that the person changed in an instant.
“Okay, have you decided on a road?”
“…I’m not sure. But, I think I can see it to some extent.”
Pop.
Tears flowed from Dionysus’ eyes.
“I think I need something that can make me forget this sadness, something that can wash this sadness away even for a moment. Because I think I will never see my mother again… ”
Dionysus is.
“…I want to make something that even the titans can forget about everything and be immersed in joy, forget about ringing here.”
She found the way she wanted to.
