I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

"Alright, alright... I'll tell you then..."

……

Today is the last day of summer vacation.

Jill watched as her nominal younger sister struggled with all sorts of homework, a look of undisguised pleasure on her face.

"Oh dear, if I had known this would happen, why didn't I do my homework earlier?" Jill asked, taking a sip of her green tea and letting out a soft breath.

"Brother... can you help me?" the girl asked, looking at Jill with pitiful eyes.

“The proposal was rejected.” Jill sipped her tea contentedly. “There are still two reports to complete. Good luck with them. I can help you with the world history report, but I won’t help you with the other one, the math assignment.”

Because I hate math, I hate calculus, I hate it in every sense of the word!

Jill muttered to herself, then took another sip of tea.

Just then, a sound came from outside the door.

Jill glanced at Nero, who was itching to make a move, and casually said, "If you still want the report on world history, then stay put."

“…Yes.” Nero then sat down.

Jill pushed open the door and stepped out of the entryway.

"Huh? Akatsuki Kojo? And that girl who caused trouble the other day?" Gil saw one of his students and the girl who caused trouble that day. "How did you two end up together?"

"Teacher Jill? It's not about getting together, no, I'm currently in..."

“In a terrible state.” Gil stared at the girl next to Akatsuki Kojou. “Yo, we meet again. I’m Gil—you can just call me that. This is our second meeting, but I look forward to working with you in the future.”

“I am Himeragi Yukina…” the girl nodded, “Nice to meet you.”

Chapter 274 Having been entrusted with a task, one must be loyal to it.

"Himehime... be careful... this teacher threw me over her shoulder twice." Akatsuki Kojo pulled Himehime Yukina aside and whispered this.

Jill: "..."

With his hearing, how could he not have heard what Xiao Gucheng was saying?

"Bang!" In the next moment, the scene in Xiaogucheng's eyes spun around, and the view in front of him turned into the ceiling.

Jill then delivered another over-the-shoulder throw to him.

“You started it the first two times, didn’t you?” Gil looked down at Xiaogucheng. “Alright, I can’t control what you do from now on—I’m going to find Nangong Nayue. You’re on your own.”

After saying that, Jill casually tossed her hand and left.

He did indeed have something to discuss with Nangong Nayue.

Just ...

“…It’s so hot.” ​​Jill frowned.

Jill struggled to adapt to the tropical temperatures, no matter how many times she tried; it was pure torture. The heat felt like it was baking her alive.

Jill could only endure it and then boarded the tram.

Then, he arrived at Saikai Academy.

Saikai Academy is a combined junior high and high school school on Itogami Island. The total student population is approximately 1,200. Given the nature of the city and the large young population of Itogami City, this type of school is quite common.

However, chronic land scarcity is the fate of Itogami City, which is an artificial island, while the academy has a surprisingly large and spacious grounds.

Ayakami Academy has facilities such as a gymnasium, swimming pool, and restaurant. Although these facilities are shared by the junior high and high school students, they are still quite good for Itogami Island.

As Nanami Nagatsuki had told him, Jill went to Ayakami Academy to complete the necessary procedures.

“Teaching students… um… world history and stuff like that.” Jill looked at the handbook in her hand, a helpless smile on her face.

After all, it seems like he just stepped out of his role as a sword-teaching master...

"...Oh well, it's just world history..." Jill flipped through the book in her hand, and then went home.

……

It was a very boring day, as usual. In the evening, Jill stared blankly at the back of her hand.

"Estella is still not awake." Gil sighed slightly. He hadn't seen his sword spirit for over a month and was starting to miss the little girl.

After all, in my spare time I used to play pranks, tease, bully, and...emmm...play games with Nero to have some fun.

After all, Nero had spent most of the week locked in his room because of his homework.

Homework is horrible, it's such a wicked thing.

Jill knows how terrible homework is, but that doesn't mean she won't assign it.

This thing isn't without its advantages.

Jill yawned, letting her spirits slowly sink.

Soon, Jill looked as if she had fallen into a deep sleep.

……

"You've arrived?" The wise king, casually glancing at the contents of the stone tablet, waved to Gil.

“Are the stories of those worlds interesting?” Jill asked.

Without even looking, Jill could tell that the Wise King was watching his memories of other worlds (crossed out).

“You know this much better than I do, don’t you?” the wise king laughed. “It’s really interesting.”

"Okay, okay, it is actually quite interesting."

“However, there are a few things about your memory that are a bit hazy…” the wise king said.

"If it's been too long, I won't remember the exact details—so please don't make things difficult for me."

Jill shrugged helplessly.

“By the way, there’s something I must remind you of—do you remember when someone asked you to do something?” the wise king said.

"Hmm—this is it." Gil waved his hand, golden ripples flashed, and then a large katana, 130cm in length, with a blade about 108cm long and a handle about 22cm long, fell into Gil's hand.

“Niteononoshana—” Gil said, uttering the name of the katana.

The name of this weapon, Niteononoshana, means "Sword of Heavenly Calamity Fire".

“Yes, in the next world, go to the world that this sword belongs to. You have been entrusted with a task, and you must be loyal to it. The king’s promise must be kept.” The wise king glanced at the great sword and then looked away before speaking.

"...How am I supposed to go? Have you thought this through? That bastard template might just be trying to screw me over?" Gil put away the Zhe Na and said.

"..." The wise king pondered for a moment, "How about this, you go and exchange for a treasure."

“…Shouldn’t all the Noble Phantasms be in the Gate of Babylon?” Gilles asked.

"No... the current Gate of Babylon merely contains all the Noble Phantasms of our world, but the term 'Noble Phantasm' isn't unique to our world," the Wise King said. "You should know, I'm referring to Noble Phantasms..."

That's absolutely true. In the world of Shakugan no Shana, Noble Phantasms are tools that cause all sorts of miraculous phenomena. The vast majority of Noble Phantasms are driven by the power of existence and the power of self-existence.

In the Type-Moon universe, Noble Phantasms serve as the ultimate weaponry of Heroic Spirits. They are materialized miracles, the heroic credentials wielded by Heroic Spirits. The crystallization of humanity's yearning for miracles, they are known as the strongest weapons of Noble Phantasm, similar to magic. They are weapons created using human imagination as their framework. They are the weapons, symbols, and special moves wielded by Servants, and are also excellent weapons, or perhaps even some kind of skill.

"You mean the world of Shakugan no Shana?" Gil walked over and sat down. "So, what do we need to do?"

“Exchange for the Lost Child of Zero Hour.” The wise king’s words startled Gil.

"The Lost Child of Zero Hour?" Jill frowned. "That thing isn't very useful to me."

"No, who told you to use it?" The Wise King tapped the stone slab in front of him. "And that it's not very effective? That's not right either. I can tell you, if you use this thing at the right time, its effect on you will be extraordinary—for example, after you use the three-layered sealed Ea sword, the time will just reach midnight, at which point your own magic power will be restored once again—"

“I do know that, but it’s not that easy…” Gilles sighed. “After all, the triggering conditions for this Noble Phantasm are so demanding.”

Zero Hour Lost Child is a Noble Phantasm created by a couple in the world of Shakugan no Shana. It means "to make time lose its way at zero hour," which means that the holder can regain all of their existence power at zero hour.

If you exchange for the Zero Hour Child here, then it must be perfectly compatible with the user's abilities. The original Zero Hour Child restored the power of existence, so in Jill's hands, it will restore magic power.

P.S.: I'm so sorry! I fell asleep while writing last night... I wrote over 1500 words last night, but this morning I only have 500 left...

I'll try to update as much as possible today, at least three chapters.

Chapter 275 A Guy You Can't Trust

After discussing these matters with the Wise King, Gil also withdrew from the golden space.

The wise king watched Gil leave as always, and the golden light that kept emanating from him merged into Gil's body.

“In that case, I’ve taken care of another matter concerning you…” The wise king took out a notebook with a thick cover and quietly looked at the names on it.

He thought for a moment, and finally used magic to cross out a name on it—

That name is——

Yuji Sakai.

……

As Jill exited the golden space, she glanced at the clock on the wall.

It's past midnight...

“I’ve been waking up too early lately…” Jill muttered.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred.

Boom! A deep tremor followed, shaking the entire artificial island. A beat too late, and an explosion rang out.

"What's going on—!" A golden light shone beneath Jill's feet, preventing her from feeling any shaking.

The explosions continued unabated. This could not be explained by accidents or natural phenomena alone; it was deliberate sabotage. Furthermore, intense magical fluctuations were emanating from it, perceptible even to ordinary people.

Jill opened the window and looked into the distance.

That direction leads to Warehouse Street, and as its name suggests, many buildings in that area are warehouses.

The explosion happened there—

Jill infused her eyes with magic, using her clairvoyance.

The fire was huge, and there was thick smoke, making it difficult even for Jill to see what was happening there.

Another huge explosion rang out.
