Ananu returns to Uruk, which seems to be a pretty good ending.
He went deep into the underworld and finally returned without being killed by the queen of the underworld and without paying any price.
Of course, he may have paid a price, but no one knows it.
For example, Ishtar was already in panic.
A few days ago, Kurgalu and Galatulu, who were sent out by her, returned to her temple with scars all over their bodies. They brought threats and ridicules from her bastard sister, which made her almost angry to death.
And now, Ishtar, who has actually received the news of Ananu's return from the underworld...
She gritted her teeth and looked a little uncertain.
Ananu, what exactly did he experience in the underworld...
Ishtar couldn't figure out why her sister, who had a gloomy and gloomy personality, let Ananu back so easily?
Why?
The one who was in a different mood from Ishtar was the goddess Nanshe.
He heard the news of Ananu's return from the stream, and immediately flew towards the city of Uruk regardless of the goddess's reserve.
It was getting dark here. Ananu had just moved Xiao En's stone bed back from that bastard Gilgamesh's room, and was chatting hand in hand with Enkidu when he suddenly felt a familiar divine power.
fluctuation.
I saw him pressing the floor with lightning speed, and the Key of Heaven blasted out from the golden ripples and stood in front of Ananu.
"Annu——————"
The call came closer and closer, Nanshe she——
I can’t stop the car anymore!
bong!
Nan She bumped into the Key of Heaven and lay on the ground unconscious.
Ananu looked calm and calm, and Enkidu sat beside him, dumbfounded.
"Is this okay?" Enkidu moved closer to Ananu and said worriedly.
The water spring goddess named Nanshe has a swollen head. The Key of Heaven can invalidate her divine constitution, so now Nanshe - has really fainted.
"It's okay, let her have a good sleep." Ananu showed a "considerate" smile, "Although I probably know her feelings, I still don't want to accept it."
"Is that so? Then, let's wait for a while." Enkidu put Nanshe on his bed, and he sat next to Ananu and continued to whisper with Ananu.
"By the way, Enkidu, let's do this..." Ananu rolled his eyes and came up with an idea. He smiled, leaned into Enkidu's ear, and whispered.
After Enkidu heard Ananu's idea, he burst into laughter and tears.
He looked into his brother's eyes, shook his head and said, "I don't know why, but I always have a feeling that Ananu doesn't seem to hate Nanshe."
"Yeah." Ananu admitted Enkidu's words generously, "Not only do I not hate her, I even like her."
"Is that so?" Enkidu smiled and did not continue talking.
Ananu and Enkidu looked at each other, holding their four hands together, looking at each other, and suddenly they both showed a sly smile.
Then, a thin layer of white substance enveloped both of them at the same time.
...
About two or three hours have passed. The night is still very deep. Although Gilgamesh knows that a god has come to his palace, he still can't get out of bed. In addition, there are Ananu and En in the palace now.
With Qidu's presence, he slept soundly.
Nanshe's eyes trembled slightly, as if she was finally waking up.
"Hey, look, she seems to be waking up."
In a daze, Nan She seemed to hear some strange noise.
"Huh? Ananu's voice...?"
While mumbling, Nan She slowly opened her eyes, and the first thing she felt when she opened her eyes was——
"Uh-my head-"
She covered her head, feeling a burst of pain and dizziness.
"Hey, when I come back, will you greet me like this?"
Ananu's voice reached Nanshe's ears, making Nanshe startled.
Huh? Ananu?
She didn't care about the swollen forehead, and quickly opened her eyes, looking to the opposite side, and what she saw was--
Ananu and Enkidu were sitting hand in hand, but—
Why are the lines on your face so soft?
There is also a figure. Although it is not as big as before, it is definitely exquisite and beautiful. Whenever a man comes over, his eyes will widen.
"This, this, this -"
The child was so frightened that he stuttered.
"Yes, is it the goddess Ereshkigal who turned you into this...?"
Nanshe asked cautiously in disbelief.
"Hmm... almost?" Ananu had a happy smile on his face, "But I haven't seen you in this year, do you feel like you have changed a bit?"
"Change, change?" Nanshe had not yet recovered from the shock of Ananu's appearance, and was confused when faced with Ananu's question, "What change?"
Ananu and Enkidu looked at each other and suddenly laughed together.
Nan She was even more confused.
Why are they both laughing?
Ananu didn't know when he had changed back to his original appearance and sat next to Nanshe.
"Nothing has changed about you, you just miss me too much."
"Although I know it's useless for me to say this, you don't have to miss me."
"but......"
"If I don't miss Ananu, I'm afraid Nanshe won't be Nanshe anymore."
Enkidu also changed back and sat on the other side.
Huh? Hey, hey, hey?
"You-you're teasing me?"
She stared at Ananu with her eyes widened and a little angry.
During the nearly a year since you left, I missed you almost every moment. Now that you are back, the first thing I do is -
"Okay, okay, I'm sorry." Ananu smiled and apologized without sincerity, "However, I still feel that it is more comfortable to get along with you this way."
"In this year of absence, I occasionally think that if we get along in this way, I will still be happy to be friends with you."
"After all, you are different from the Anunnaki, aren't you?"
Nan She opened her mouth and saw the serious expression in Ananu's smile, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
She understood that Ananu was rejecting her kindness in this way, and he could also comfort her in this way.
Nanshe figured it all out and took a deep breath.
She felt like a complete idiot.
Ananu glanced at Enkidu, a little puzzled by Nanshe's current reaction.
Enkidu understood something, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he turned his head away so that Ananu could not see his expression.
Just as Ananu was about to ask, he found a fist hitting his head.
Then, he heard something...something that had a very strong meaning and was very familiar.
