I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

So now the ground is completely bare, there's nothing left.

"Master, are you alright?" Lian came to Jill's side and asked.

"Your master... is fine." Jill looked at the ground and sighed. "We need to set up the tent again."

After all, the original tents were spiraled into the sky by that explosion.

……

Soon, Jill and the others had re-set up the tent.

All the girls went to rest.

So, that night, only Lian and Jill took turns keeping watch.

Jill will keep watch during the first half of the night, since some guys might have ulterior motives during that time, so it's better for him to keep watch personally.

No matter how many come, I can easily handle them.

The campfire crackled as the branches burned, and the wind rustled through the surrounding plants.

"Phew...it's so quiet..." Jill tossed two pieces of firewood in, watched them burn, and sighed.

After all, the current situation is extremely bad.

Destructive factors are not supposed to be able to corrupt the world's will, such as beings like the Elf King.

When faced with a heavily defended world, the Destruction Factor can at most infiltrate the world and then destroy it from the surface.

The world before us.

Jill flipped through another notebook in her hand and discovered that the traveler's diary wasn't just one book, but many.

It's just that some of the names have been crossed out.

“…Kaslana?” Jill flipped through the pages and saw a surname, a hint of surprise in her eyes.

This surname is so rare that Gil only knows of it in one other world.

That world is called "Honkai".

No, or rather, Jill is currently carrying a weapon that has close ties to the Kaslana family—

The oath of Judah.

Both owners of this weapon had connections to the Kaslana family.

Even the weapon Jill drew, the Heavenly Judgment, also known as the Heavenly Fire Self-Destruction Gun (crossed out), is a weapon of the Kaslana family.

The Kaslana family is a member of Schicksal, an organization from that world that fights against the "Honkai".

Is the Kaslana that Jill saw the same Kaslana?

Jill didn't doubt this too much, after all, the notebook in her hand also mentioned "Honkai energy."

"It seems... this senior has some connection with that world?" Jill picked up the teacup that was placed to the side, took a sip of tea, and frowned.

"Fine—I'll go check it out when I have the chance." Jill flipped through her notebook, secretly making up her mind.

After all, the weapons that accompanied him on his journey were also weapons from that world...

The second half of the night arrived quickly. Still half asleep, Lian washed her face twice before taking over Jill's night watch.

Jill stood up, stretched, and then went into the tent to rest.

……

When Gilles sleeps, his body enters a state of sleep while his mind enters the golden space of the wise king.

The wise king liked to drag Gil into his room whenever he had a chance to talk to him (physics), and Gil agreed, so the two of them would have a friendly conversation (physics).

But this time, something seems different...

Jill opened her eyes.

“…A sea of ​​flowers…” Jill was somewhat surprised.

Yes, the space before me is no longer golden.

Instead, it was a boundless sea of ​​flowers.

Every flower is in bloom, and they come in a variety of colors, making them look beautiful and romantic.

If a young girl were to enter this place, she would surely be captivated by it.

Unfortunately, Jill is not a young girl.

He simply expressed surprise at the presence of this place.

This happens because only one person arrives.

That person's words—shouldn't have appeared here in the first place.

"Does the King of Heroes like it here?" A gentle voice rang out.

"I should say I'm surprised, surprised that you'd be here..."

Jill turned around and looked at the handsome white-haired man wearing a long robe with intricate decorations.

"Merlin."

The handsome man smiled slightly, revealing a smile that would make infatuated girls scream.

"Because of me, there are a few things I need to discuss with Jill."

P.S.: Thanks to reader "Heart's Wounds" for the two generous donations of salted fish spikes and spicy strips!

Chapter 243 Negotiation, Artoria

"Looking for me?" Gil looked at Merlin. "If it's not important, then please leave."

“Of course it’s a very important matter,” Merlin said with a grin.

But with that grinning face, Gil really wanted to give Merlin a good thrashing.

“Speak,” Jill said, suppressing the urge to punch that thick-skinned man a few times.

Although he didn't know why, he really wanted to beat up Merlin.

Maybe it's instinct, instinct.

“Let’s get serious then…” Merlin sat down. “How confident are you about an A-level destructive factor?”

"do not know."

"Is it true..."

“I need to break the seal on EA, at least three times,” Jill said after a moment’s thought.

"A seal, huh..." Merlin nodded. "Well then, that's enough chit-chat. Goodbye..."

“There’s something else I want to do before that,” Jill suddenly said.

"Take care, and don't bother seeing me off." Merlin slipped away in an instant.

Jill shook her head.

He just wanted to know, just how many visitors from other worlds have come here?!

But even if I ask, I doubt that notorious online scammer would tell me.

Forget it, I should have just punched him right then and there.

Jill put all the trivialities out of her mind, and then...

He found himself in the golden space of the Wise King.

The wise king's expression was not very good today.

"What's wrong? Why that expression?"

Jill was somewhat exasperated; she had just left Merlin's place and had already run back to this godforsaken place.

"...It's nothing, Merlin just told you, right..."

"..." Jill's expression turned somewhat horrified after hearing this. "Holy crap, you were peeking into my dream!?"

“No, I just realized you were pulled into a dream—in other words, you’re actually a very special person, you don’t dream.” The wise king tapped the table. “You… didn’t even dream when you were a child, did you?”

Jill paused for a moment.

Before my reincarnation, I had never dreamed.

Not once.

"And then what? This only proves that my sleep quality is poor, okay?"

Jill found it strange and retorted.

"You'll know when the time comes," the wise king said, then waved his hand. "Go back now. I was originally planning to let you rest today."

"Tch... Alright, I'm off then." Jill turned around and disappeared from the spot.

"...Still haven't you noticed?" The wise king looked at the spot where Gil had disappeared. "Hurry up."

……

"Ugh..." Jill barely opened her eyes.

There was a vague sense of heaviness in my body.

Jill glanced over and saw Esther lying on top of her, her head resting on Jill's chest, looking like she hadn't woken up yet.

Jill had become accustomed to this sight over this period of time.

So he just sighed, then raised his right hand and looked at the emblem on the back of his hand.

That was a crest with two crossed swords.

"...Is there a world that can help Esther break free from the curse?" Jill muttered.

He also hoped to help Esther break the curse.

Otherwise, you'd want him to be carrying a wine dish, wielding a sword, and fighting enemies...

Hmm... Jill isn't some kind of drunken swordsman, and Jill wouldn't do anything that would distract him during a battle.
