Gilgamesh had a dream.
"Hey, hey!"
A familiar voice sounded in his ears, but Gilgamesh was still in a daze and couldn't open his eyes for a while.
"Hey! Hey--! Gil, are you dead!"
Gilgamesh wanted to open his eyes wide, but he still couldn't.
"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 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 in a hurry."
"Let me just say that 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.
"It's not time for you to step down from the throne yet." 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 didn't 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've done 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 keep winning and losing, but after this time, you probably won’t experience this feeling again.”
Gilgamesh pursed his lips.
There's 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.
With every success, Gilgamesh, or those around Gilgamesh, lose.
He fought off Humbaba, and Ananu and Enkidu lost important people.
He fought off 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 man who dwells in the sorrow of loss.
He has long been used to being sad and used 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 smiled.
"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's 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 now, turned into a dilapidated and broken wall in just a few seconds.
Only the throne remained 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, with tears of surprise in the corners of his eyes.
Although he had made some guesses before, Fujimaru Ritsuka was still extremely pleasantly surprised when he saw her.
"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 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 said nothing more, just looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka who was still a little dirty, smiled and nodded.
"Is Lawrence still awake yet?" He pointed at Lawrence, who was still wrapped in Nanshe.
"Ah, Miss Lawrence seems to have accumulated side effects from liberating the Noble Phantasm many times in a row. It shouldn't be a big problem. It will be fine if we return to Chaldea and let Leonardo deal with it himself."
"Speaking of which, what is going on when you are in the underworld? You are like..." Nan She asked curiously.
"I'm just letting myself die temporarily, it's no big deal."
Gilgamesh waved his hand nonchalantly.
"We just need to do it while Ereshkigal isn't looking."
