The Emiya residence.

Half a minute later, Rea-chan noticed the guests, placed cups of tea and snacks in front of them, and then stood behind me. At the same time, Grandpa, who was currently in ghost form, returned home, announced his presence to me, and prepared to intervene if necessary. I...

- "Let's begin, Mr. Archaman," Hermes said politely and raised his right hand, where a sealed envelope appeared, which he then handed to me. "This is an official invitation to Mount Olympus for an audience with my father. Please take a look."

I pulled the envelope toward me and, opening it, quickly scanned its contents, which contained nothing unexpected. However, besides me, Hercules and Medusa were also invited.

Heh. Zeus can't wait to claim his rights to my servants, even if they don't particularly want that themselves. However, I was planning to visit there anyway, if only for Hercules, so everything was fine.

- "You have a beautiful home, Mr. Archaman," Hermes complimented him.

- "I can feel the love that reigns in this house," Aphrodite added, "It's so pure and soft that I even feel envious when I sense it all. Won't you share your secret?"

- "And the mana in this house... Hecate would drown in her own saliva if she were here," Hermes said again and took a sip of tea. "I see you've read the invitation. Our father is not known for his patience, and I would advise you to arrive as soon as possible."

- "Oh?" I smiled and put the invitation back in the envelope. "Is that a threat?"

- "Friendly advice," Hermes corrected me.

- "Same thing," I shrugged. "And it's rather strange that Olympus sent not one god here, but two. Are you and a couple of Servants really worth it?"

- "You must understand, Mr. Archaman, that the opportunity to see his long-dead son, one of the most beloved and distinguished figures in all of Greek history, means a great deal to my father. As for the second Servant, Poseidon and Athena took an interest in her for obvious reasons," replied Hermes.

- "And he sent Aphrodite to seduce me, huh?" I rolled my eyes, the goddess of love smiled charmingly, and Hermes nodded, without hiding anything or feeling embarrassed.

- "If you wish, she can keep you company in any form. And, as you can see, she is not at all opposed to the idea."

I rolled my eyes again.

Zeus wants to bribe me with Aphrodite? Interesting, interesting. Apparently, a very obvious thought flashed through his paranoid mind: since I was able to summon Hercules and Medusa, I could summon other Greek servants as well. And since most of them respect and revere the gods of Olympus, Zeus would instantly gain a significant increase in power.

And what better way to bind me to himself than with Aphrodite or someone else from Zeus's entourage? Besides, I'm sure he'd be willing to offer someone else just to get what he wants. Even Hestia, who took a vow of virginity and celibacy.

In any case, I could start annoying them right now, but then the Greeks would become my problem, not mine. And Hercules would definitely be against it. Besides, the conversation was quite calm and decent. However, I can still scare them, can't I?

- "Alright, we'll arrive at Olympus the day after tomorrow. I sensed a teleportation circle on the invitation, so I won't ask how or what."

- "Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Archaman," said Hermes, rising from the sofa.

- "One moment," I smiled, attracting their attention.

- "Yes?"

- "I would like you to convey a message to Zeus and the others."
