After waiting for a long time, it would take several days at the end. Kurgalu and Galatulu were still on the way, but they should be arriving soon. Ereshkigal was sitting on his throne, waiting for their arrival.
While waiting, he made the gun sill and chatted with Ananu.
For the past few days, Ereshkigal and Ananu had been alone.
During this time, Ananu discovered a new characteristic of Ereshkigal.
That's talkative.
She really likes to ask questions, asking here and there, asking about everything. She even practices what Ananu eats every morning. Does eating really need to consume magic power, and does it need to be excreted? All kinds of questions were asked.
Although Ananu was a little impatient, he still answered most of Ereshkigal's questions. There were a small number of things that Ananu had not seen before, but he did not dare to say anything.
However, Ananu had a feeling inexplicably, and it was also a relatively profound experience.
Ereshkigal, probably, is really lonely.
If not, she wouldn't have so many problems.
Because she has never seen all kinds of strange things on the earth. She has been in the underworld since she was born, holding the power of this bitter and cold place and unable to leave.
Can never leave.
This is her home, where she creates prisons for the dead so that they can rest in peace. And the underworld, isn't it her prison?
Even if she cherishes this place and loves it sincerely, she can't change this fact.
Of course, Ananu just thought about it this way. After all, he was not Ereshkigal, so he could not truly experience this loneliness and this love. After all, his description could only stay at the level of description. There was no way Let Ereshkigal really feel the beauty of the earth.
etc.
Ananu touched his chin.
Although I don't have to prove anything,...
"Ereshkigal."
Ananu suddenly turned his head and looked at the beautiful God of Hades, the mistress of the underworld.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
After chatting with Ananu for several days, Ereshkigal's attitude was no longer as unapproachable and stiff as it was at the beginning, and perhaps it was because of Ananu's remarks that "she is still alive." , Ereshkigal is always a little absent-minded, so Ananu always feels that she is a little confused.
"This is the so-called 'flower'."
Ananu opened his palm and showed Ereshkigal what was in his palm.
Those are two flowers, illusory, untouchable, flowers that only exist in records and memories, one is white and the other is red.
Two flowers floated in Ananu's palm and appeared in front of Ereshkigal.
"Huh? This, flower?"
Ereshkigal was stunned for a moment, and then became incredulous.
"You said, this is a flower? But, how is this possible?" She murmured, "Obviously except for beings like God, or you, Enkidu, Kurgalu and Galatulu , no life can enter the underworld alive, you are——"
"This is just a shape." Ananu shook his head, looking at the two flowers with a nostalgic sigh in his eyes, "But they are indeed flowers."
"The flower that lives in my soul."
"Flowers in the soul."
Ereshkigal looked at the two flowers in Ananu's hands and was completely stunned.
She stopped making the gun threshold and stretched forward, as if she wanted to touch the two flowers, but——
Ananu took a step back.
"Oh? Why?" Ereshkigal's eyes still stayed on the two flowers, but he realized that Ananu had left, and he stood up involuntarily.
That is.Flower. She had never, ever seen anything like that.
More beautiful than the flickering flames trapped in the gun threshold, more beautiful than the rows of rocks, more beautiful than—
Ereshkigal was more beautiful than anything he had ever seen.
Ereshkigal wanted to covet this beauty.
"You should have other things to do." Ananu would not allow Ereshkigal to touch the flower in his heart, even if the flower had no entity at all.
He took a step back to make room for Ereshkigal, and Ereshkigal finally understood what Ananu meant.
Kurgalu and Galatulu arrive.
Ereshkigal, who became a little dull because of the flowers, became cold and gloomy in just a moment, with extremely obvious disgust in his eyes.
"Creation of the god Enki, Kurgalu, Galatulu."
She held her head high, looking down at the two quiet losers.
"After you became Ishtar's dependents, I made it clear, right? Don't come to my underworld again, even if God Enki did give you such an ability."
Ananu stood below Ereshkigal, looking at the brothers with a hint of speechlessness and helplessness.
He is not stupid, and he can tell just by thinking about it that these two people must have been sent here by Ishtar.
Sure enough, as the elder brother, Kurgalu took a step forward.
"Dear mistress of the underworld, Lord Ereshkigal, please allow me to bring my master, your sister."
"She is not my sister." Ereshkigal interrupted Kurgalu rudely, "From the moment she tried to take away the only thing I had, the Amyrlin beneath me, we were not in common. It’s all about Dai Tian.”
Kurgalu was interrupted by Ereshkigal. His face showed no fear or anger, and was extremely calm. He just stopped talking and stood quietly.
"So? What did the woman ask you to bring?"
"She asked me to bring greetings."
When Kurgalu spoke, his eyes kept looking in the direction of Ananu.
Ananu smiled and shifted his gaze.
He thought it was quite funny, Ishtar. He had lowered Ishtar's IQ in his mind several times, but it seemed that he still overestimated it.
Unlike Ananu, Ereshkigal was more stunned.
"Then what? No more?"
"No more." Kurgalu said this confidently because he had no emotions.
Ereshkigal's aura suddenly rose, and the underworld was shaken.
Red thunder began to fill the entire underworld, and Ereshkigal had already stood up.
"Get out of my underworld!"
She almost roared, and the huge divine wind pressure almost blew Ananu away.
The angry God of Hades used his divine power to catch Kurgalu and Galatulu and threw them away into the distance.
"Tell Ishtar not to provoke me again - otherwise, I will do whatever it takes -"
"Drag her into the underworld again!"
