Hades.
Ereshkigal huddled in his seat, hugging his legs and resting his chin on his knees, looking at a loss.
Ananu left anyway.
He left so decisively and quickly.
There is nothing I can do about it. After all, unlike me, he still has his own brothers and close friends. It is only natural for him to leave me.
Ereshkigal moved his chin down and hid it together with his nose behind his knees, leaving only a pair of tearful red eyes.
There is a lonely look in her beautiful eyes.
Although he knew that Ananu had no reason to stay here, but had countless reasons to go back, Ereshkigal was still very sad.
She wanted Ananu to stay, even to talk to her, to listen to him talk about the world on earth, to hear him tell stories that she had never heard before, but——
Ereshkigal pursed his lips.
"Uh-huh--!"
Snapped--!
She put her hands together and patted her face, trying her best to make herself feel better.
Forget it, I have endured it for so many years, is it possible that the world on the ground will be shaken just because Ananu told me about it?
Cheer up, Ereshkigal, you are the mistress of the underworld, and the underworld is your home!
After calming down his emotions, Ereshkigal felt much better.
"Um?"
The touch of divine power got closer and closer, and Ereshkigal opened his eyes again, revealing clarity.
Her hound of the underworld is back.
"Well, let me see who that guy Ananu has replaced himself."
She was still a little confused and looking forward to this matter.
After all, if Ananu really lets someone close to him replace him, it means that Ananu is actually just a man with a good reputation but a bad one, and he can ignore what he once said with peace of mind. Those words, continue to live a stable life in the underworld, even if you have longed for it, but if it is a false desire, the best result after being exposed is to laugh it off.
Ereshkigal, whose desire for companionship and life was awakened by Ananu, was already unconsciously pursuing this kind of ridicule.
but--
What she saw.
The underworld hound came to her with a bright yellow, extremely beautiful flower in its mouth.
She had a guess.
She stretched out her hand tremblingly, and the hound of the underworld placed the yellow flower in her hand. Together with the flower, it was received by Ereshkigal, and Ananu asked the hound of the underworld to bring it to Ereshkigal. Galle's words.
Listening to Ananu's words ringing in his ears, Ereshkigal was completely stunned.
Her body trembled slightly, and she hugged the yellow flower of Ananu to her heart. The expression on her face was complicated, but full of serious touches.
"Thank you, Ananu, really. Thank you."
She didn't notice that there were tears of happiness in the corners of her eyes, and her spirit was still stuck in that real moment of joy.
"This is the most precious gift I have ever received."
"Don't worry, Ananu, I will definitely cherish this flower, and I will let the flower that represents you——"
"Fill my underworld."
Uruk.
It's already the second day.
Gilgamesh did not go to the front hall to meet his ministers, because his current image might be a bit inappropriate.
Ananu gave him a severe beating yesterday. With Gilgamesh's physique, it would probably take him several days to recover.
Of course, the misunderstanding has now been cleared up.
"Who, who made you take such misleading actions at that time, and didn't explain it to me in time? So it must be your fault for being beaten." Ananu looked narrow-minded and tried his best to put the blame on Gilgame. Shi's body was pushed.
Gilgamesh was lying on the bed with no expression, his body was covered with cloth, and he seemed to have a very uncomfortable temperament.
You sister, please give me a chance to explain.
When I came up, I used the Key of Heaven to limit my divine power, and then I was beaten and kicked. If Enkidu hadn't been awakened by the sound of him being beaten and explained the misunderstanding, he might have been beaten to this day. Morning.
Hahaha.
Siduli looked helpless and didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she still controlled her emotions and was feeding Gilgamesh carefully.
Enkidu is very innocent and smiles happily.
"Haha, Jill, you could have woken me up by tapping me on the shoulder, why did you want to pull my clothes?"
"Because I just want to wake you up?" Gilgamesh was about to burst into tears. "Who would have thought that this idiot Ananu would just open the door and walk in?"
Ananu stared when Gilgamesh described him as "idiot", and then stopped after realizing that Gilgamesh had been beaten by him.
Forget it, considering that you have been seriously injured for no reason, I will forgive you.
"but."
Exhaling a breath, Gilgamesh didn't lie down and pretended to be dead. He sat up with his hands on his back, looked at Ananu, and said happily and seriously: "I didn't expect that you can really come back from the underworld."
Enkidu grabbed Ananu's hand and placed it on his chest.
"It's really great to have you back."
"good."
Ananu patted Enkidu on the back, with a little proud expression on his face, and wiped his nose.
"I said before that I would definitely return from the underworld, but you still don't believe it."
"Hmph." Gilgamesh snorted in displeasure, "Do you know that Enkidu was in a coma for seven days because of you?"
He seemed a little hesitant, but he glanced at Siduri, then at Ananu and Enkidu, gritted his teeth, and said it anyway.
"This is my king."
"I'm worried about you!"
This was a first for Gilgamesh.
Gilgamesh has never seen such a clear expression of his feelings, at least in terms of language.
After saying this, Gilgamesh turned his head and met Siduri's astonished eyes, subconsciously embarrassed.
".You can still say such things?"
Ananu's voice behind him was both surprised and funny, with a touch of true emotion.
He could feel Ananu standing up and sitting next to him.
Then something happened that Gilgamesh didn't expect.
Ananu hugged herself and pressed her head on his shoulder.
"Don't worry, I'm back."
Ananu's voice was still very gentle.
