"I'm going to take a look, Gilgamesh, Lawrence, you two wait for me."
Nan She felt a little tired, but decided to go and have a look.
Because, she had a bad feeling inexplicably...
This feeling forced her to chase after Ananu, who was chasing Yinshtar.
"Hey, wait for me, Ananu!"
In the front hall, only Gilgamesh and Lawrence were left.
Lawrence and Gilgamesh looked at each other and smiled awkwardly but politely.
"King of Heroes, then, I will retreat first."
"...Well, I'm going to have a rest too." Gilgamesh felt so tired. The three of them were enjoying themselves.
Now he just wants to go back to his bedroom and have a good sleep.
As for Lawrence.
She still had unfinished work and couldn't sleep yet.
.......
Yinshtar drove Ma Anna and ran away with all his strength. Thunder flashed around Ananu's body, and he chased with all his strength. Behind Ananu, there was Nanshe who was riding the water.
[In view of the general environment,
This reminded Inshtar of that time with the Bull of Heaven.
Then he ran away faster.
"Don't run away! I won't do anything to you!"
Ananu's eyes flashed, and he shouted loudly as he chased.
"I don't want it! I told you that you are definitely hiding somewhere and want to give me a try! That's what you really think!"
There was a cry in Yinshtar's voice, which was very loud.
"Tsk, this is forcing me to do something dirty." Ananu's expression turned cold, and the corner of his mouth raised a sinister arc.
"Xiao En, help me catch her!"
In an instant, the person was replaced, and golden chains poured out of Enkidu's hands and wrapped around Yinshtar.
The suppressive power of the Heavenly Lock on divinity was instantly apparent, and Ma Anna's speed slowed down in less than a second.
Enkidu transformed back into Ananu. He held the chain with one hand and took out his Key to Heaven with the other hand.
Yinshtar had stopped, because there was no way to continue flying, and he fell straight to the ground.
She fell onto the edge of a sparkling lake and was bound by the Heavenly Locks, unable to move.
Ananu had already walked over with a smile on his face. Nanshe, who was a little slower, was left behind by the two of them. It would probably take a while to catch up.
"You, what on earth are you going to do! I obviously didn't do anything!" Yinshtar looked at Ananu in horror, tears coming out, "I am the builder of Uruk, you, you can't-"
"You said this as if I planned to do something to you." Rolling his eyes speechlessly, Ananu lifted Yinshtar up and turned over, "It's okay, An Xin, it's just a small thing, it's very important." relaxing."
"Huh? What, then you——"
"Bear with it, it might hurt a little—"
"Huh? No, you--ah!
! "
winter!
!
Ananu hit Yinshtar on the head with a key.
Yinshtar lost consciousness on the spot.
After taking back all the chains and keys, and straightening the unconscious Yinshtar, Ananu hugged her chest and stood by the lakeside reflecting the scattered moonlight, waiting quietly, with a trace of emotion on her face. An expectant smile.
Under the moonlight, Yinshtar's body quietly underwent some changes.
Mainly a change in hair color.
The shiny black twin ponytails turned golden, but the color of the eyes remained the same, still red.
Ananu showed a happy smile.
He knew he had succeeded.
With the convenience of becoming a servant, the mistress of the underworld finally escaped from the shackles of the underworld for a short time through this method that can be called cheating.
Slowly opening his eyes, Ereshkigal's first reaction when he appeared on the ground was——
"Hey! My head!"
Ananu's mouth twitched violently.
"No, it's okay." He stretched out one of his hands to Ereshkigal with some embarrassment.
"It's okay... By the way, what did you do to Yinshtar?" After rubbing the painful area, Ereshkigal glanced at Ananu with a sharp look.
Ananu's eyes shifted...
"Haha, hahaha, Ananu, do you also have such an expression?"
Ereshkigal looked at Ananu's slightly funny expression and laughed out loud.
"Now that you're on the ground, don't set your eyes on me alone." Ananu shook her head helplessly, grabbed Ereshkigal's shoulders with both hands, and twisted her whole body. Come over.
"Hmm...ah. This, this..."
What appeared in front of Ereshkigal was the lake.
On the lake at night, there was a gentle breeze, slowly and gently stroking the low reeds on the water, making them sway at the same frequency as Ananu's hair, quiet and beautiful.
The bright and cold moonlight in the sky shines on the lake, broken by the water and blown by the wind. The scattered pieces reflect the sparkling waves of the lake, just like the stars decorating the girl's veil, dazzling , but people dare not look directly at it. They want to remember it, but they dare not covet too much beauty.
"This is the world above ground."
Standing side by side with Ereshkigal, Ananu said softly with a smile on his face.
Ereshkigal was silent for a moment.
There was shock in her eyes.
"...This is the first time I saw my father's light..." She raised her head and looked at the moon in the sky.
On her face, two marks appeared at some point.
Just like Ananu said, after becoming a servant, Ereshkigal got a lot of information, very, very much information. She also knew what kind of world was above the ground and what was there. What kind of things, what kind of scenery, what kind of creatures, but—
Even if she knew it, she had never seen it.
But now, she saw it.
I saw it with my own eyes.
Although not much, it was enough for Ereshkigal.
"Thank you, Ananu..."
"Thank you......"
This is not the first time Ereshkigal has said such words.
When Ananu and she were both still alive, Ananu gave her a flower, and she once said this.
She could no longer control her emotions, turned around, and ran into Ananu's arms hard, her tears bursting out like a flood.
Ananu looked at the Lord of the Underworld whose temperament had completely changed after becoming a servant, and smiled helplessly.
"Okay, don't cry."
He gently stroked Ereshkigal's head with a gentle voice.
only......
Ananu and Ereshkigal seemed to have overlooked something.
Or rather...someone.
Snap.
Nanshe, who came from the forest, dropped the fishing rod in his hand.
