After escorting the leopard-man back to Uruk, Gilgamesh was quite satisfied and gave some gifts to the returning group.
Chapter Twenty: The King's Day of Slacking Off
After returning to their accommodation, the three of them had a big meal.
Even Shirou, who has tasted many delicacies, found the mutton in Uruk to be incredibly delicious.
"It's a pity that if there were a better way to cook it, it would definitely be even more delicious."
Shirou pondered whether he should change his reward and squeeze some mutton from Gilgamesh instead.
He has no shortage of gold and silver treasures, so it's better to bring some high-quality ingredients.
The next morning, the group was having breakfast at their accommodation.
"This is so delicious!" Gudako exclaimed as she ate the mutton.
Suddenly, approaching footsteps came from the doorway.
"Huh? Who is it—" Gudako turned her head and was so shocked by the person who appeared in the doorway that she couldn't close her mouth. "King Gilgamesh!?"
"Hey, keep your voice down! What if you attract Siduri's attention?" Gilgamesh quickly gestured for her to stop.
"I...I'm sorry..." Gudako scratched her head and said.
"Excuse me, why did you suddenly come here?" Mash asked.
"Could something have happened?" Gudako suddenly realized something, and recalling how she had resolved the situation in Ur yesterday, she concluded that the god named Kukul had come knocking on her door, and her expression immediately turned panicked.
“It’s nothing, I just like to try something different every now and then,” Gilgamesh replied with a smile.
"What does that mean?" Gudako asked, puzzled.
"This time, I'm personally assigning the work, so accept it with all your might, you bastards," Gilgamesh said, raising his head triumphantly.
“…”Everyone was stunned.
The group followed Gilgamesh in a donkey cart to a city near Uruk.
Although the population here is not as large as that of Uruk, the town is still a peaceful and bustling place.
"In Uruk, the main mode of transportation is the donkey. The donkey pulls the wagon, and then the water bottles are loaded onto the wagon. This is a task specially arranged by me."
Gilgamesh, walking ahead, said confidently, "This shows how efficient I am and how meticulous my plans are! They actually made me personally handle everything; they're such a headache."
"Um... thank you...?" Mashu said somewhat uncertainly.
"Hmph~ You're welcome!" Gilgamesh replied, tilting his head slightly.
At this moment, Gilgamesh, who was walking ahead, suddenly saw several children squatting together and walked over with some curiosity.
"What are you doing?"
"Ah, it's the king!" a few children exclaimed excitedly.
“Never mind me, what are you all playing?” Gilgamesh asked, waving his hand.
"It's a game that's recently become popular."
"Oh? That looks interesting." Gilgamesh pondered for a moment, then held out his hand. "Switch these two places, then move the upper one, and that should do it, right?"
"Wow, Wang is amazing!"
Several children who looked promising immediately began to praise them.
"Hahahaha!!!" Gilgamesh immediately put his hands on his hips and laughed heartily, "As an introduction to everything, this design is excellent. Let's continue to play and work hard, for this will become the property of this country, and the property of this country is also my property!"
Several children immediately responded.
"it is good!"
"Hmph, alright you lot, hurry up and keep up with me, don't fall behind." Gilgamesh waved to Shirou and the others.
Soon, the four men boarded a donkey cart loaded with goods and began their journey back to Uruk.
“Speaking of which, King Gilgamesh, shouldn’t you explain to us why you suddenly came to travel with us?” Gudako asked.
"Well, I occasionally like to go see the sea, that's all," Gilgamesh replied, looking at the scenery outside.
"To see the sea?" Mashu was taken aback. "So you're taking a day off today?"
“No, the King did not take a vacation, otherwise I wouldn’t need to sneak out in this way,” Gilgamesh replied.
Upon hearing this answer, Gudako and Mashu tilted their heads.
"So that means... Miss Siduri is now..."
"Hmph~ It's no easy feat to slip away right under Siduri's nose," said the Wise King Shan with a hint of pride.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Siduri arrived at the top of the tower as usual, but did not see Gilgamesh on the throne as usual.
The veiled woman walked to the throne, looked at the mountain of clay slabs, and sighed helplessly.
"Really..."
……
"Just move this down and we'll be done." Gudako wiped the sweat from her face, noticing that strands of hair had somehow gotten stuck there.
"Orihara-senpai, could you help me tie my hair up?" The girl handed a hair tie to Shirou.
"it is good."
Shirou nodded, took the hair tie from the girl's hand, and skillfully tied it into a single braid.
Ponytail.
Shirou had done hair for both Saber and Sakura before, so he was quite skilled at it.
Seeing this, Gilgamesh suddenly asked a question out of curiosity.
Are you her husband?
"Huh?" Shirou was taken aback by his sudden question.
Gudako blushed instantly, "Husband...that's not how it is!"
"Oh? Is that so? It seems I guessed wrong, I'm sorry." Gilgamesh had an "I see" expression on his face. "But you two really do look alike. If I hadn't asked about your relationship, I would have really thought you were siblings."
After finishing their work here, the group went to the beach.
As the sun sets, the sky appears to be painted with a layer of orange-red dye, half of the sky is orange-red, like a beautiful and soft ribbon.
Vast expanses of fiery clouds floated in the sky, transitioning from deep orange to light orange, and then from light orange to purple, creating a dreamlike scene.
Shirou stood on the beach, watching the sun sink below the horizon, turning the sea orange-red, a scene as beautiful as a painting, and was immediately filled with emotion.
"As expected of the Age of Gods, even the scenery is so beautiful."
“Yes, it’s always a relaxing time like this.” Mashu squinted her eyes and quietly enjoyed the sea breeze.
The sea breeze blowing by stirred her pink hair, making it sway.
"I have some juice here, would you like some?" Gudako said, holding up a cup.
Just then, Fou, with her short limbs, started calling out to Mashu.
Mashu's body tensed up as well.
"Doctor, quickly check the nine o'clock direction! Something is flying straight this way!"
Chapter Twenty-One: The Tablet of Destiny
Roman's voice immediately came through the communicator.
"Okay, I've confirmed that right away. Wait... in the Age of Gods, the speed can still reach 500 kilometers per hour!?"
Roman looked at the screen in front of him, his expression turning to surprise.
Leonardo da Vinci quickly spoke up for Roman.
"3, 2... Mashu, you're the targets, watch out!"
Upon hearing Da Vinci's warning over the communicator, Mash's expression immediately changed, and she quickly conjured a shield, preparing to defend herself.
Just then, a long sword swept past her and shot into the air.
In that instant, dozens of golden circular ripples appeared behind the green-haired figure who was already close to the beach, and chains with golden wedges shot out from the rippling ripples.
The chains wrapped around the longsword that had shot into the sky, tons of chains binding it into a ball, completely encircling it.
Then, a dull thud of a Noble Phantasm exploding rang out from within.
"Did it succeed...?" Jin Gu squinted.
The divinely created chains of heaven barely managed to withstand the immense magical power that spilled out after the Noble Phantasm collapsed.
"Does this stray dog dare to come back because it feels humiliated by my letting it go, so it wants to come back specifically to die?"
As Shirou spoke, he walked up to Mash. At the same time, blue ripples appeared continuously, displaying numerous different forms, including dozens of EX-level Noble Phantasms.
Using too many EX Noble Phantasms would cause a large area of destruction, so Shirou restrained himself a bit.
"Tsk... It's you again, why do you have to stand in my way...!" Jingu frowned, about to say something, when he suddenly raised his hand to cover his head, his body swaying in pain.
At that moment, Gilgamesh's voice came from another direction.
"When I devised this new tactic, I was criticized as 'extremely wasteful,' but in the end, you are using it."
“No, that’s because of you—” Jin Gu, who had spoken subconsciously, suddenly froze, not understanding why he had said that.
"King Gilgamesh! Watch out, that's not Enkidu!" Gudako, who was standing next to Mash, shouted immediately.
Upon hearing this, Jin Gu opened his eyes wide and looked at the man in front of him.
"You are... Gilgamesh!?"
"Who else do you think it is, you idiot?"
Gilgamesh replied, "Where has your efficient style gone, you weapon of calm and composure?"
Gilgamesh approached Kingu, who was covering his head with one hand, step by step.
“To actually enjoy fighting, that’s not like you at all… Enkidu.” A hint of nostalgia flashed in Gilgamesh’s eyes.
Although he knew the person in front of him was not Enkidu, that familiar face still made him miss him terribly.
"What...did you say!" Jin Gu raised his hand in a fit of rage and fired a beam of light.
