Ananu wandered around the city, found a tavern, and walked in.
He doesn't dislike beer, but he can't say he likes it that much, but he still likes the atmosphere here.
But today...
A hunter who looked very old was sitting at the bar, drinking beer and eating bread in silence. The others were just like him, looking unhappy.
"Isn't this the old hunter Kadelji from the cedar forest? Why are you sitting here drinking alone?" Ananu, who was dressed in white and was incompatible with this environment, had a casual smile on his face and sat down with the old hunter Kadelji. Ji's side.
"Are you... eh? You are, the adult during the day..." Kadelji was still a little confused about who the visitor was, but after a few glances, he recalled it——
Isn't this the man who sat next to him and swayed his legs when he met King Gilgamesh this morning?
The identical appearance and distinctive attire of Ananu and Enkidu left a deep impression on him.
But, how could such a noble man appear here?
He was a little trembling immediately and stood up subconsciously.
"There is no need to salute me, powerful hunter." Ananu's smile was so peaceful that Kadelji was a little stunned.
"Are you sent by the king to inquire about the formation of my hunter team?" Kadelji asked cautiously.
He was a little scared. If his answer was incorrect, he would probably be killed directly by the king.
"Huh? Asking?" Ananu was stunned at first, but didn't hold back after understanding Kadelji's words.
He smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, I'm not here to be that guy Gil's subordinate. I just want to ask you some questions from the perspective of me and Enkidu, our two brothers. It’s just a problem.”
"Huh? Huh?" Kadelji was completely confused.
What did he just call King?
What did he just call King Gilgamesh?
Bang!
Kadelji was so frightened that he sat on the ground, his body already shaking a little.
Not only Kadelji, but everyone else in the tavern also looked at Ananu with frightened eyes.
Ananu was frightened by this atmosphere and stood there for a while without daring to move.
"What, what's wrong?" Ananu was a little confused.
Wow——
In fear, a man quickly got up and ran away through the door as fast as he could in his life.
The first person to escape appeared, followed immediately by the second, and the third, Kadelki also took advantage of the chaos and ran away together, and even the tavern owner and bartender jumped out of the window.
Ananu:...?
The tavern was empty, and only Ananu was left standing in the middle of the tavern.
...
"Enkidu, I'm hated."
Ananu returned to the hall, hugged his knees and sat next to Enkidu, speaking autistically.
"Huh? What happened?" Enkidu was stunned.
He wandered around Uruk alone in the afternoon and didn't see anything happen.
"Come, let me show you."
Ananu held out one of his hands.
Enkidu nodded helplessly, and also stretched out one of his hands, interlocking his fingers with Ananu's hand, and the two closed their eyes together.
After a while, both of them opened their eyes at the same time, Enkidu's eyes filled with a trace of both laughter and tears.
The two people exchanged information. What Ananu had seen, Enkidu could naturally see.
"You are not hated, probably because you said the word 'Jill'."
"Is it because of Gil?" Ananu frowned.
He and Enkidu used to call Gilgamesh or Gilgamesh King because it was too long, and they were familiar with each other, so the two of them started calling Gilgamesh "Gil".
But now it looks like...
"Is it so scary to be in a hurry to break up with me just after hearing some affectionate names? Gil...is that scary?" Ananu sighed, a little doubtful.
"Although he did have a slight change, in the eyes of the people of Uruk, he is still the tyrant who does whatever he wants." Enkidu shook his head.
】
The two people looked into each other's eyes and were silent for a moment.
"Ananu, you went to the tavern to find Kadelki. You probably want to ask about the cedar forest." Enkidu asked proactively.
Ananu nodded: "Well, mainly because we came to that place at the beginning, so we are a little concerned..."
"...Then, should we go and have a look?" Enkidu also had a bit of solemnity on his face. It was obvious that he was in the same situation as Ananu, but he did not take the direct approach like Ananu. It’s just a matter of understanding.
"...Let's wait until we fight Gil." Ananu thought for a moment and shook his head. "Didn't Gil send out the hunter team? There should be no problem."
"About this... hold your hands back." Enkidu's expression was a little funny, "At least, don't use that repressive power on divinity."
"I understand." Ananu nodded, covered himself with a quilt, and continued to be autistic.
"Good night then."
"OK, good night."
...
night.
It was late at night now, the moon hung high in the sky, and the gentle light of Nanna illuminated the clear sky.
But in the palace, some people were not sleeping peacefully.
Gilgamesh opened his eyes.
Not only Gilgamesh, but Ananu and Enkidu also opened their eyes at the same time.
This feeling...is divine.
Gods appeared around Uruk.
"This divine power is somewhat familiar."
Ananu and Enkidu had already flown out of the palace and rushed towards the direction where they felt the divine power. On the way, Ananu said to Enkidu.
"Have you ever experienced it during the exchange of information? It's the water spring goddess Nanshe?" Enkidu was a little curious. "By the way, how did you meet this goddess?"
"She seemed to be...fishing when I saw her?" Ananu tried his best to remember, and said with some uncertainty.
"Does Nanshe, the goddess of water springs, like fishing..." Enkidu had a smile on his lips, as if he found it interesting.
"It seems that Gil guy has also come out. Why don't we wait for him?" Ananu slowed down a little.
"I don't think it's necessary." Enkidu shook his head, "If Nanshe has evil intentions, the two of us, no, one of us is enough."
"Same." Ananu shrugged and increased his speed again.
In the distance, the sneaky water spring goddess Nan She didn't realize that she had been targeted by two weapons against the gods.
She was still cautiously approaching the city wall of Uruk, as if she was about to enter Uruk.
