Ananu looked at Gilgamesh who was already half lying on his bed with a serious face.
I didn't feel it before, I just thought Gilgamesh was weakening due to general fatigue, but now...
Because he was seriously injured, Ananu could feel that Gilgamesh's state was not due to physical weakness, but because of... other reasons.
Gilgamesh now, and Gilgamesh when Ananuenchi was alive, are simply...
He was so weak that he looked like he was about to die.
"Don't worry, it's just some sacrifices made in order to imitate the magician." Gilgamesh looked at Ananu with a smile, not caring at all, "Why, you still want to be with me?"
Would you like to compare the performance? Sorry, I don’t have any extra energy now."
Although he said he was sorry, there was still a trace of amusement in his eyes as he looked at Ananu sitting beside his bed.
"You guy... just imitating a magician will prevent you from becoming what you are now." Ananu gritted his teeth, with a trace of worry on his expression.
"I told you not to worry about it." Gilgamesh sat up and raised his eyebrows, "I know my body well. No matter how weak I am, I still have a lot of time to live."
"It's you, why are you so sentimental after dying once?"
"...You know, we care about you." Ananu put one of his hands on Gilgamesh's shoulder and looked into his eyes seriously, "Your state...
....Not for yourself, Jill."
"I understand what you said."
Gilgamesh's expression became slightly more complicated.
He took Ananu's hand off his shoulder and placed it in his own.
"Since your death, I have realized this."
"...Although, the cost of realizing this is somewhat high."
"...Perhaps this city needs a wise king like you." Ananu smiled gently, "It's just that the method of making you realize some things may be a bit rough."
Is it rough...?
Gilgamesh let go of Ananu's hand and lay down.
"Don't worry, I know my situation well."
"Tomorrow is the final battle, and you also need to have a good rest."
"If you're not tired, maybe you can replace Enkidu and let him take a rest."
"...Okay." Ananu still wanted to say something, but seeing that Gilgamesh had closed his eyes, he finally said nothing and turned around and walked out of Gilgamesh's palace.
But before leaving, he still looked back at his best friend.
This guy Jill...
Ananu left.
Gilgamesh, who was lying on his bed, immediately opened his eyes. There was clearly no sleepiness or fatigue in his eyes, and they were extremely bright, as if they were the only light in this dark singularity.
He touched his belly and pressed his chest.
"Is the muscle deterioration that obvious..." Gilgamesh muttered, closed his eyes again, turned over, and fell asleep in almost a second or two.
...
"Ritsuka, are you nervous?"
Lawrence sat on the ground holding one of his legs and looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka sitting opposite him.
The bustle, which was so huge that it was in the way, was thrown away by Lawrence.
"I'm not too nervous...probably." Fujimaru Ritsuka's current focus was obviously not on Tiamat, but on Lawrence's bustle.
She was not surprised that Lawrence had thrown away the panniers, but she was surprised that Lawrence had thrown away the panniers now.
During the previous singularities, Lawrence basically wore this huge bustle all the time except when sleeping, and even wore it when fighting. That thing obviously affected the fighting...
Um......
Buzz…
Under the ground, there was a slight vibration.
"This vibration should be from the god named Abzu?" Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Lawrence.
"Probably." Lawrence nodded, clapped his hand on the ground and touched it, "The Father God of Mesopotamia is right below this city now."
"...I always feel that from this perspective, Abzu is more terrifying than Tiamat."
Mashu hugged Fufu who was already asleep, snuggled next to Fujimaru Ritsuka, and shivered involuntarily.
"After all, you have recovered from the underworld, so it does feel scarier." Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and slapped her face, "But compared to fear, nervousness, etc... I am more scared now
, or a kind of..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka gestured with her hand in the air, her expression a little strange.
It was as if she couldn't explain exactly how she was feeling right now.
"Sad?" Mashu said, tilting his head.
"Hmm...probably? But there should be some differences..." Fujimaru Ritsuka thought for a moment and nodded reluctantly.
"There should be a feeling that 'everything is about to settle.'" Lawrence smiled.
"Ah, yes! It's almost like this!" Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes lit up and he nodded quickly.
She looked at the two command spells on the back of her hand and said in a daze: "After all, this journey takes a long time..."
From Fuyuki, all the way to the current Mesopotamia... This is the last singular point.
And what is about to happen is the last singularity, the final battle.
This means that after this battle, no matter what, everything will enter the final stage and everything will be settled.
That's what's called - "It's about to end."
Regardless of victory or defeat, it will end.
"We will win...I'm sure." Fujimaru Ritsuka clenched the hand with the command spell and spoke firmly.
The battle before her was to test the meaning of all the battles she had fought along the way... No matter what, she had to win.
Even if the opponent is a monster like a beast, which can destroy human history, it will be the same.
"Well, this kind of momentum is what we want!"
Lawrence breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that Fujimaru Ritsuka had been in a daze, she thought that Fujimaru Ritsuka was a little nervous. Now it seemed that Lawrence himself was thinking too much.
The things this child has witnessed along the way and the transformations he has undergone are more than he imagined.
The original Fujimaru Ritsuka was just an ordinary girl, but now, she will face a monster that can destroy the world.
But she will still fight without hesitation.
Even if there is fear and self-abasement in my heart, I will still fight.
This is Fujimaru Ritsuka, a girl who wants to save the world.
