Although the two of them are more accustomed to acting together, like many things, it is more realistic to see them by yourself.
Ananu came to the city edge of Uruk alone. It was close to the city wall, and there was a sign on it that no one should enter.
where is this place?
Ananu was a little confused.
He didn't have any consciousness that he was an "idler" and walked straight over there.
"Who!?" The guard standing there stopped Ananu and asked seriously.
"Can't we enter here?" Ananu asked strangely, pointing behind him.
"What nonsense are you talking about? This is where the soldiers practice. Go somewhere else!"
"Oh, okay." Ananu said nothing more, turned around and left.
but......
He circled around the city wall and jumped off.
He was full of curiosity and wanted to take a look inside.
Very confident.
"Hey!" fell to the ground, and Ananu's clothes, which Gilgamesh described as "big white pieces," were not stained with any dust.
While wandering around like this, Ananu saw something strange.
At least in his perception, it's a bit strange.
A group of soldiers wearing leather armor, holding metal sticks tied to them, were poking at a row of dummies made of hay.
What are they doing?
"Hey! Who are you!"
Ananu did not hide his whereabouts, so he was discovered easily.
Moreover, everyone here is wearing leather armor, and he is the only one wearing "Dabai Fianzi", so it is impossible not to stand out.
"Capture him!" The soldiers who were practicing swarmed up and wanted to push Ananu to the ground.
Ananu blinked and flew up.
He still wouldn't be pushed to the ground by a group of ordinary people.
"Wait a minute, this person is-"
Among the soldiers, a sturdy man who seemed to have a lot of status shrank his pupils.
He recognized it. Isn't this person--
"Oh? Do you know me?"
Ananu pointed at herself a little strangely.
...
"So, this is probably the king's guest..." Under the explanation of the high-status soldier, the misunderstanding was finally solved.
...It seems that in a sense, it is not a misunderstanding.
"So what are you doing?" Ananu still didn't understand the question.
Why do a group of people line up to poke a straw man with sticks?
"... Regarding this question, please follow me first. They are still training." The little leader was silent for a moment, and his tone was a bit difficult.
"Oh, okay."
The two people walked to the military camp, and the little leader bowed to Ananu: "I would like to apologize to these young people first. They are just young men who have just joined the army and have not been on the battlefield. Please forgive me if I offend you."
Can the adults forgive them..."
"...Wait a minute." Ananu stretched out a hand with a confused look on his face, "What have I done? When you say this, I feel like I am some kind of evil person."
"Huh? Didn't the king ask you to come and inspect?" The little leader also looked confused.
The two looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what to say.
"...Wait a minute, I'll take care of it first..." The little leader looked like his brain was trembling, holding his forehead.
"What the hell, I'm just curious about what's inside, so I wanted to go in and have a look." Ananu blinked, "So what's going on inside?"
"Well... let me tell you the truth, sir. This is the place where Uruk trains new recruits."
The little leader sighed and bowed slightly to Ananu: "I am one of the officials in charge here. My name is Adkart."
"Oh, hello." Ananu nodded expressionlessly.
...Why does it feel like the reaction is not right?
Ignoring some strange points, Adkart continued: "What you just saw are the recruits who have just been recruited and are about to be sent to the battlefield in training. This is more or less like this."
"Is King Gilgamesh still continuing the war?" Ananu showed his expression for the first time after arriving at the military camp.
His eyebrows furrowed, and the uneasy aura coming from him made Adkart take a step back involuntarily.
Adkart felt that the aura emanating from the thin and fair-looking young man in front of him made it difficult for him to breathe, and goosebumps appeared on his arms.
"Yes." He did not choose to hide it, and nodded with some difficulty.
Ananu seemed to have noticed that the man in front of him was a little uncomfortable. He slapped his mouth, turned around, and flew away without saying anything.
"Well--"
After Ananu left, Adkart felt the pressure disappear instantly and almost fell to the ground.
He smiled bitterly: "As expected of the monster that can cause natural disasters, even if he becomes a human, he is still like this..."
Adkart shook his head, with a hint of fear in his voice.
He was the guard on the city wall two days ago. He witnessed the entire battle between King Gilgamesh and Enkidu, and then saw the terrible natural disaster coming from the horizon.
That disaster was Ananu.
"Is it really okay for the king to let such a monster live in the city of Uruk...?"
...
Ananu has flown to the king's palace, where many officials gathered to report to Gilgamesh.
As if she could see that Ananu was a little unhappy, Siduli hurriedly walked out of the hall and tugged on Ananu's sleeve.
"What's wrong with Siduli?" Ananu was a little surprised why Siduli stopped her.
"Wang is still working. Do you have anything to do with Wang?" Siduli pulled Ananu aside and asked in a low voice.
"Yes." Ananu nodded, "I want to ask him about the war."
"Well..." Siduli looked embarrassed, "I will arrange for you to meet with Wang after work is over. Now, can you please wait a moment?"
Ananu looked into Siduli's eyes with great seriousness.
Siduli was a little panicked when Ananu looked at her.
After watching for a while, Ananu finally shook his head, sighed, and floated up.
"Then let's wait until he finishes working. I'll go find Enkidu first."
After saying these words, Ananu flew away, leaving Siduli standing there with a thin layer of cold sweat on her head, feeling a little stiff.
The pressure Ananu put on her was still too great, or perhaps Ananu herself didn't know that just showing a hint of emotion would make people uneasy.
He is the embodiment of the anger of nature. Although he is not easily angry, if he is angry, terrible things will happen.
...Go and talk to the king about this first, at least let the king be prepared.
