After Nanshe heard everything, he grabbed Ananu's hand without hesitation.
Ananu looked at Nanshe's hand grabbing his own and pursed his lips.
"Huh? Ah...yes..." Nanshe also realized that Ananu didn't seem to like others holding his hand, except for Enkidu, who quickly let go.
Ananu didn't say anything, but looked into Nan She's eyes, which looked a little complicated.
"What, what's wrong?" Nan She felt a little confused when Ananu looked at her.
"...It's nothing." Ananu clenched his fists slightly, his face looked a little red, but he sighed, "Nanshe, actually, I shouldn't have come to you for help."
"Your position will be greatly shaken."
"But I..."
Ananu pursed his lips and bit his upper lip.
"So, if you want, I-"
"Stop talking now." When Ananu was about to say something, he was interrupted by Nanshe.
Ananu raised his head, and what he saw was Nanshe's serious, even angry eyes.
"Are you trying to say that because my position has wavered, you are willing to be with me or something like that?" Nanshe stretched out her hand, pinched Ananu's face from both sides, and said seriously.
Ananu made no move, but his eyes became a little evasive.
"Do you think I'm the one who needs this so-called 'compensation'?" Nan She laughed as if she was angry. She pinched Ananu's cheek harder and started to pull it to both sides.
"Don't, don't pull, it hurts." Ananu was hurt by the pull and quickly tried to stop Nanshe's movements.
"You were really bad in the past. You used various methods to punish me, and you didn't accept my confession. You even came over to correct my mistakes to ridicule me." Nanshe not only didn't stop, but intensified the intensity.
.
"But what can we do?" Nanshe said with a smile while pulling her, "I'm not the kind of goddess who gets angry over such trivial things. Of course punishment is still necessary."
"But - you want to choose to be with me just because I take the initiative to help you. What's going on?"
"As I said before, do you think I am the one who needs this kind of 'compensation'?"
Nanshe pulled Ananu's cheek until it was long, and then let go suddenly.
Snapped!
"Ouch!"
Ananu's elastic cheeks bounced back instantly.
"I want you to be with me because I want you to be impressed by my charm and willingly be with me, not like this, because I chose to help you, so you want to do it this way.
'Repay' me." Nanshe stretched out a finger and said seriously, "Is it 'repay' that I want?"
Her face turned red and she coughed slightly.
"What I want is 'love', do you understand?"
Ananu: I don't understand.
"Thank you, Nanshe."
Ananu stood up in relief, rubbed his face, and smiled a little reluctantly.
"Thank you."
"Let's go to King Gilgamesh's palace."
Nanshe did not accept Ananu's thanks, but took the lead in flying towards Uruk.
...
"You're actually here?"
Gilgamesh looked a little surprised as he looked at the pair of clay figurine brothers standing in his front hall.
Not Ananu and Enkidu, but Kurgalu and Galatulu.
"What do you want to do?" Enkidu leaned into Gilgamesh's ear and asked softly.
"Let's wait until Ananu comes back."
Gilgamesh glanced at the others.
Siduli, Luslan, Adkat, and Shamhat have all arrived.
Siduli and Luslan stood together, both of them looking calm, but also a little strange, as if they didn't know what Gilgamesh wanted to do when he called them back.
Adkart looked serious. King Gilgamesh summoned him personally. There must be some war going on.
Shamhat had some vague guesses, looked worried, and was a little afraid to look at Gilgamesh.
Enki stopped talking and quietly stood beside Gilgamesh in his white robe. The entire front hall fell into silence.
Except for Gilgamesh, Enkidu, and Kurgalugaratulu, everyone looked like they wanted to say something.
After a while, Ananu finally came back and landed on the high platform of the front hall with the blue-haired goddess beside him.
"Gil." Ananu called to Gilgamesh.
Gil nodded, stood up from his throne, walked down, and came to Nanshe.
"God Nanshe, thank you for coming to Uruk at this time." Gilgamesh nodded to Nanshe.
"I have heard everything from Ananu, what should I do?" Nanshe asked directly without being polite to Gilgamesh.
"I hope you can recommend God Enki to us." He was a little surprised at Nanshe's attitude, but Gilgamesh did not hesitate and said his choice happily, "That is, your father God."
"Father God? Yes." Nanshe nodded and frowned slightly, "But Father God probably won't leave Eridu, so you have to go there in person."
"The king has been prepared for this from the beginning. I will go to Eridu to meet the god Enki with Ananu, Enkidu, auxiliary officer Siduri and army adjutant Luslan."
Gamesh was not surprised and just nodded slightly, "But before that, there are some other things I want to ask God Nanshe."
"Well, tell me." Nan She said with an indifferent expression.
Gilgamesh turned to look at Kurgalu and Galatulu.
Kurgalu and Galatulu:?
"Enkidu, tie them both up, Ananu, tie them up harder."
Gilgamesh waved his hand.
Crash--
The sound of interlocking chains rang out instantly, and golden chains and golden keys poured out from the ripples, drowning the confused Kurgalu and Galatulu in an instant.
"These two clay figures are the creations of your father God. See if you can transform them."
Gilgamesh's thoughts are pure.
Anyway, now that he has broken up with Ishtar, there is no need for him to save face for Ishtar. These two dependents happen to have great potential, so he simply lets Nanshe see if they can be reformed.
He will leave Uruk for a while and see if the transformed product can help him guard his home.
The army can defend ordinary monsters, but other enemies...
"Adkart, here you go."
Gilgamesh put his hand into the ripples, took out a weapon, and threw it in the direction of Adkart.
