Gilgamesh looked at Kurgalu and Galatulu who seemed to be sleeping on the bed, glanced at Ananu helplessly, and said in a vicious tone.
"You said that even if you plan to complete the two of them, you can't choose a good time. It has to be at this time."
Gilgamesh chose revenge on Ananu.
He tied Ananu's yellow hair into a knot around Ananu's face.
"Well... I actually know that our current manpower in Uruk is not enough, but..."
With an aggrieved expression, Ananu untied the hair that was knotted by Gilgamesh, and looked at Kurgalu and Galatulu: "Gil, this time, we don't know if we can survive."
"Whether it's me and Enkidu as servants, or you who are still alive."
"No one can stay out of this disaster, living or dead. So..."
Ananu's eyes met Gilgamesh's.
"This may be the last chance to make up for them."
If they die in this battle against Tiamat, then the life forms of Kurgalu and Galatulu will be completely fixed. Even if they become servants after death, they will still be unable to find answers. Instead,
Accumulate more confusion.
Forever.
"...Then, at least tell me in advance next time." Gilgamesh crossed his chest and sighed, not knowing what to say.
"Um?"
Suddenly, both of them felt something at the same time and looked in a certain direction.
Then, they all showed a smile.
"Look, new labor is coming, isn't it? This is called foresight."
"Pull you down, you will only bring chaos to this king."
Although he said this, there was a smile on Gilgamesh's lips.
Ishtar... I have more bad memories than good ones, but overall, I am still a familiar god.
After all, she is also the patron saint of this city-state. Even if all the gods were exiled by Gilgamesh himself, he has never denied it.
After all, Uruk was built by Ishtar herself. She is equivalent to the mother of this city, so even if Gilgamesh does not like this goddess, he will let Uruk open its doors to her.
What's more, Gilgamesh doesn't hate Ishtar very much now.
"She might be a little scared when I'm here, so I'll leave first." Ananu shrugged, "It's up to you to leave this fighting power for Uruk, Gil."
After saying that, the yellow hair turned into green during the transformation, the extroverted weapon disappeared, and the introverted and reserved weapon stood beside Gilgamesh with a smile.
...
In the front hall late at night, the king of Uruk met the god of Uruk again.
Ishtar's first words when seeing Gilgamesh were -
“Where are your abs?”
Gilgamesh:?
"......are you crazy."
After thinking deeply, Gilgamesh looked at Ishtar seriously.
He was considering whether to throw Ishtar out of Uruk if she really had a mental problem.
"I'm not sick, but your physical strength seems to have dropped a lot." Ishtar was not annoyed, but just frowned, "How many years have passed now, are you already so wasted?"
"...You are the only one who can say this, Ishtar." You can clearly see the blood vessels hopping on Gilgamesh's forehead, "For the sake of my king's city, I will give everything I have."
Under the circumstances, isn’t it natural that this should happen?”
"By the way, where are the Ananu people?"
Shrinking his neck, Ishtar became alert and looked around cautiously.
Couldn't that scary guy be hiding, waiting for her to lose her guard, and then suddenly jump out from a corner to give her a try?
"Ananu is not here for the time being." Enkidu answered Ishtar's doubts, "I am the one who is here now."
"...What do you mean?" Ishtar looked confused.
...
"Speaking of which, Ereshkigal, there should be some kind of connection between you and Ishtar, right?"
In the underworld, Ananu was sitting in the flower field, suddenly thought of something, and asked Ereshkigal.
"Huh? You mean...like you and Enkidu?"
Ereshkigal pointed to Ananu's body.
Scratching his head, Ananu said: "Absolutely?"
Both Ananu and Enki can switch anytime and anywhere because of their almost complete commonality. Although the similarities between Ereshkigal and Ishtar are not as absolute as Ananu and Enkidu, they can switch between them anytime and anywhere.
There should also be the possibility of utilizing this kind of property exchange.
"Actually, there is."
Nodding, Ereshkigal confirmed Ananu's guess.
"It's just that if you want to achieve such a condition, it will be quite harsh." She rubbed her hands awkwardly, "It's good to stay in the underworld like this. At least you are in the underworld, right?"
"Well... how do you activate the connection between you and Ishtar?" After pondering for a moment, Ananu raised his head and asked.
"As long as Ishtar falls asleep." Although he didn't know what Ananu planned to do by asking this, Ereshkigal answered Ananu's question honestly.
"Is it okay to fall asleep? In other words, the condition for activation is that one party loses consciousness?" Ananu guessed while touching his chin.
There was a trace of malicious intent in his eyes.
"Probably, what do you want to do?" Looking at Ananu's eyes, Ereshkigal shuddered involuntarily.
It always feels like Ananu wants to do something...and it doesn't seem to be an illusion.
"Hey, haven't you always planned to go to the ground to see it? Although your knowledge has been corrected after becoming a servant, there are some things that are better to see with your own eyes!"
"Xiao En, let's exchange!"
call out--
"well?"
Before Ereshkigal could react, Ananu had already completed the switch with Enkidu.
Ananu arrived at the front hall of Uruk with such murderous intent that everyone present was stunned.
"Huh? Huh!?" Ishtar looked at Ananu, whose hair was floating due to the release of magic power, and subconsciously felt an extremely unpleasant aura, "You-what do you want to do?"
"Nothing." The smile on Ananu's face was very kind, and he took out a golden key from the ripples, "I'm just sending you to the underworld for a while."
"Don't come over!!!"
Ishtar's psychological defense collapsed and she ran away screaming.
"Don't run! Let me give you a try! Just a moment!" Ananu chased after him.
Gilgamesh, Lawrence, and Nanshe who are still in the front hall:...?
