[This novel goes premium on September 26, 2023, with a 10,000-character update that day. I hope all you lovely ladies will support me lots, ehe~]

Hermes is the child of Maia and Zeus. Born sharp-witted and sly, on the very first day of life she stole fifty of Apollo's cattle, making him so furious that he chased her into a cave, grabbed her, and dragged her to Olympus to answer for her crime.

But to everyone's surprise, Hermes used her silver tongue to sweet-talk everyone present into taking her side. Not only that, she grinningly gifted Apollo a seven-string lyre she had made herself, and even called him "big brother" with sweet words and affectionate familiarity.

Hermes: As the most handsome man on Olympus, Big Brother Apollo will surely forgive my little mistake, right? [Cuddles up and nuzzles]

Apollo: Damn, this little brat's pretty good at this.

After he softened and helped Hermes return to Olympus, he discovered that his belongings were disappearing more and more often.

Yesterday it was his raven attendant, today it was the tripod at the Oracle of Delphi. What would it be tomorrow?

At a banquet one night, a drunk Hermes was telling her good friend Hebe all about her goal of stealing everything Apollo owned, so delighted she was practically floating.

Then Apollo happened to pass by, caught her by the cloak, and dragged her into a corner.

Apollo: I hear you're going to steal everything I own?

Hermes: ...Um, I was drunk, okay? I was only joking, Big Brother Apollo...

She thought she was going to die right there, but instead he released her cloak and approached with a kindly, scratch that, a terrifying smile.

Apollo: Here. Go ahead and steal something.

Hermes: ???

Did getting robbed make him stupid?!

Anyway, this is a delightful everyday story about Hermes and Apollo~

Note:

In this novel, Hermes is gender-swapped, and the pairing is with Apollo.

The story includes the heroine's growth, so it is not entirely a romance.

Some elements differ from the original myths and may be uncomfortable to read, so please be understanding OTZ
