A familiar voice sounded in his ears, but Gilgamesh was still in a daze and could not open his eyes for a while.
"Hey! Hey—! Gil, are you dead?"
Gilgamesh wanted to open his eyes wide, but he still couldn't find the strength.
"Jill? Wake up, Jill?"
"Get up Enkidu, this bitch can't get up, look at me -"
Snapped!
"Ouch————!"
Gil jumped up from his throne and looked at the man who slapped him awake with an angry look.
"Ananu, fuck you!"
Ananu, on the other hand, was cheerful and didn't care at all. He turned to look at Enkidu and pointed his thumb at Gilgamesh in the opposite direction.
"Haha, I'm so anxious."
"I would say this method is more effective than simply calling him up!"
Enkidu stood next to Ananu, looking helpless, but it was obvious that he was suppressing a smile.
"You—" Gilgamesh's nose was so angry that he immediately jumped down from his throne and beat Ananu.
Don't mention the question of whether you can beat him or not - even if you can't beat him, you have to fight!
"Jill!"
However, two overlapping voices made him stop.
"Sit on the throne." Ananu said sternly.
"You are not yet ready to step down from the throne." Enkidu's expression was also more severe than ever.
Facing the serious brothers, Gilgamesh couldn't help but be stunned, and then looked at Ananu with gritted teeth.
"Since I can't leave my throne now, why don't you slap me? Are you a fool?"
Having said this, Gilgamesh sat back on his throne, grinning and rubbing his noble face.
Ananu did not respond, just stood with Enkidu and looked at Gilgamesh with a smile.
Gilgamesh stopped talking and looked down at them quietly and sadly.
"Congratulations, Jill, you did it again."
"Even in the face of the Mother Goddess's tide of chaos, you have won again."
"This is the victory that should have been achieved." Gilgamesh's eyes were steady and he said extremely calmly, "Uruk will last forever, you know."
"Well, sometimes you don't have to be so tough." Ananu smiled, shook his head helplessly, walked next to Gilgamesh, sat on the armrest on his right, and leaned on the back of the throne.
"I understand that you are reserved as a king, but there is no one else here right now, so why not show your softness and sadness?"
"Sorry, we can't go with you anymore." Enkidu sat on the ground to the left of Gilgamesh, put his chin on Gilgamesh's lap, and sighed as he said, "
You have been winning and losing, but after this time, you probably won’t experience this feeling again..."
Gilgamesh pursed his lips.
There is nothing to lose.
Yes, Gilgamesh is a powerful king, leading the most powerful city-state and country in this land, and has defeated disasters several times.
but......
Every time he succeeds, Gilgamesh, or the people around Gilgamesh, lose.
He defeated Humbaba, and Ananu and Enkidu lost important people.
He defeated the Bull of Heaven, and he lost Ananu and Enkidu.
This time, he repelled the tide of chaos and the Mother of Creation who turned into Beast. This time, he lost...
own city-state.
Ah.
Although he was still sitting on his throne, Gilgamesh felt... that his so-called "King of Heroes" was a bit ridiculous.
However, it’s just a feeling.
Gilgamesh is not a person who dwells in the grief of loss.
He has long been accustomed to being sad and accustomed not to express it. He will still look forward as a king with his head held high.
"You should calm down for a while, I know what I should do."
He showed a smile.
"Isn't this the kind of person I am? No matter how much I lose, I will still move forward."
Neither Ananu nor Enkidu spoke.
"Well, that's it. If you look like this, I can feel relieved." Ananu smiled and hit Gilgamesh on the head with his hand.
"Haha, don't hold on." Enkidu poked Gilgamesh's face from below with his finger.
"Hey, you two-"
Gilgamesh stopped mid-sentence.
Ananu and Enkidu disappeared.
Suddenly it disappeared.
The scenery in front of me changed rapidly. The front hall of the palace, which was solemn and magnificent just a moment ago, turned into a dilapidated and broken wall in just a few seconds.
Only the throne is still intact.
Gilgamesh was sitting on the throne, looking down at the ruins, with some confusion and confusion in his eyes.
But in his perception, it seemed that someone was approaching the throne.
As expected, it was Fujimaru Ritsuka and his party.
"Ah, King...!"
The moment Fujimaru Ritsuka saw Gilgamesh, his eyes lit up, and there were faint tears of surprise in the corners of his eyes.
Although she had made some guesses before, Fujimaru Ritsuka was still pleasantly surprised when she actually saw him.
"It's too slow. As a minister, I made the king wait for such a long time."
Gilgamesh said this with a hint of relief on his face.
"Let me tell you, can't you wake up early and go there by yourself?" Ishtar looked at Gilgamesh speechlessly, "If Fujimaru Ritsuka doesn't come over, you won't have the chance to say goodbye to her.
Already?"
"She is a minister, and I am the king. It is natural for ministers to come to see the king." Gilgamesh stood up from the throne with a nonchalant look on his face, "So it is impossible for them not to come."
Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu didn't mean to be offended at all. They puffed up their chests and responded to Gilgamesh with excitement and seriousness: "Yes, King!"
Gilgamesh didn't say anything else, he just looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka who was still a little dirty and nodded with a smile.
"Is Lawrence still awake yet?" He pointed at Lawrence, who was still wrapped in Nanshe.
"Ah, Miss Lawrence... It seems that the side effects accumulated due to the continuous release of the Noble Phantasm many times. It shouldn't be a big problem. If we return to Chaldea and let Da Vinci handle it himself, there will be no problem.
."
"Speaking of which, what is going on when you are in the underworld? You are just like..." Nan She asked curiously.
"I'm just letting myself die temporarily, it's no big deal."
Gilgamesh waved his hand indifferently.
"You just need to do it while Ereshkigal is not paying attention."
