I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

He still has things to do.

For example...

The unusual item that Jill detected last night.

……

night.

tread--

Jill landed on the ground.

He had sensed something strange about the place where the magic runes were destroyed.

Jill picked up Hades' invisibility helmet, put it on, and evaded the patrolling guards, heading towards the direction of the barrier she had previously set up.

Because of the recent attack, the area was still cordoned off, and Jill arrived at the location where the barrier had been set up.

It was clearly the mark of a bomb explosion. Jill crouched down, holding a broken stone in his palm.

“…What is this thing?” Jill muttered. “A very unfamiliar magical aura…”

Jill was certain that there was another person present at the time, who was neither a member of the Itogami Island SWAT team nor one of the terrorists.

The terrorists are orcs, and the SWAT team is human, is that right? (Magic flow...)

“…Heroic spirits…?” Gilles said, crushing the stone in his hand.

Chapter 286 Trouble?

morning.

"Ding-dong—" The crisp doorbell rang, and Enkidu opened the door to find a gray-haired boy with a worried expression on his face.

"Xiao-kun?" Enkidu asked curiously, "Is there something you need?"

“Ah, yes, I’m looking for Professor Gil.” Kojou nodded and said.

Vatora had actually sent an invitation to Kojou Akatsuki, and Kojou Akatsuki accepted the invitation. Last night, she and Yukina Himeragi attended the banquet that Vatora hosted on the cruise ship.

Afterwards, Akatsuki learned some truly terrible news.

After thinking it over, he decided to talk to Jill first, and then ask Nangong Nayue about the rest.

Getting up so early... is torture for him, who stayed up until the middle of the night last night.

"Then come in first, I'll go call Gil." Enkidu nodded, and then let Akatsuki go in.

Jill quickly came out of the room, and he immediately saw Akatsuki.

"Did someone tell you something bad?" Gilles brewed tea; it was ordinary black tea, the highest grade, but definitely not the Noble Phantasm from the Gate of Babylon.

“Ah…indeed, Teacher Jill…last night, I attended a banquet, the host of which…”

“Dmitriye Vatola, right?” Gil poured two cups of tea, handing one to Enkidu beside him and placing the other in front of Akatsuki Kojou. “Oh dear, that bastard really knows how to keep things to himself.”

“Ms. Gil, you know…”

“I just met him yesterday…” Jill poured herself a cup of tea, picked up the cup, took a sip, and continued, “He also sent me an invitation, but I burned that thing.”

"Ha... Professor Jill is really... unpredictable."

“That’s normal.” Jill sipped her tea, a smile she couldn’t hide. “But I’m curious how you ended up being called to that guy’s party.”

“This…” Xiaogucheng’s expression stiffened.

As far as he knows, only he himself, Yukina Himeragi, and Natsuki Nanami know that he is the Fourth Progenitor.

The person in front of him was known to be a magic user, but when he first saw him that day, he was fighting with Nangong Nayue... Although he wanted to help, he seemed to have been thrown over the shoulder.

Although he threw me over his shoulder again during our second meeting, his tutoring was still very effective, just like a truly experienced old teacher.

"Is it because you are the Fourth Progenitor?" Jill said with a smile.

"Ah, um... um?" Kojou Akatsuki was asked this question while he was deep in thought, so he answered subconsciously.

"..." Then Akatsuki fell silent, his expression turning surprised.

Gil leisurely sipped his tea, ignoring Akatsuki's surprised expression. "That's what Yue-chan told me. Don't worry, I have no feelings for you, at least I won't marry the Lion King... The Lion King is like an organization, monitoring you."

The Lion King Agency is a special operations agency within the National Public Safety Commission of the Japanese government. It is responsible for handling large-scale man-made magical disasters and intelligence gathering. It also represents the Japanese government in receiving important international figures, providing them with security and surveillance.

Headquartered in Japan, the organization is led by the Three Saints. It has a shadow agency, the Magic Disaster Management Bureau, and an educational institution, the Forest of High Gods.

Himeragi Yukina was ordered by the Three Saints to monitor Akatsuki Kojou, the so-called Fourth Progenitor.

In Gil's opinion, this is more like handing a girl over to someone else... Didn't you see that Himeragi Yukina is already half-devoted to him? This is probably just another humanoid walk-in romance guide!

Wait, why did I bring up another one...?

Ah, of course it's because my foolish apprentice (Len Ashbell) has successfully turned countless girls gay by disguising himself as a man. Without a doubt, he's a true harem king!

It seems I've forgotten about a certain cross-dressing master... Oh well, never mind.

Xiao Gucheng paused for a moment, then said, "Teacher, may I tell you what happens next?"

"Ah, go ahead and say it, you'd better hurry, after all, your watcher seems a little impatient." Enkidu, standing next to Gil, waved his hand, and the silver chain pulled the door open.

With a thud, a girl fell in.

"Hime?" Akatsuki Kojou's voice was filled with surprise.

"Sigh... such a watcher... never mind, come and sit down." Gil said to Himeragi Yukina.

“…Hmm…” So Himeragi Yukina decisively sat down next to Akatsuki Kojou.

“Alright, tell me what you heard from that bastard Vatora last night,” Jill said.

Enkidu, who was standing next to Gil, handed a cup of black tea to Yukina Himeragi, who thanked him.

Xiao Gucheng nodded, and then continued to recount the beginning and end of the story.

……

“That’s it.” Xiao Gucheng took a sip of tea and then said.

“The Black Death faction…” Jill nodded. “Alright, I understand. Would you like to stay for breakfast?”

"No... Nagisa has already prepared breakfast, hasn't she?" Akatsuki Kojou shook his head.

Akatsuki Nagisa – Akatsuki Kojou's younger sister. With their parents often away from home, Akatsuki Nagisa does almost all the housework in the Akatsuki family.

Jill naturally knew something about this, so he nodded and said, "Alright, you can go back now."

……

After watching Kojou Akatsuki and Yukina Himeragi leave, Enkidu frowned slightly. "Gil... that Black Death faction..."

“Yes, I know.” Jill nodded. “This time, it was a little unexpected.”

Gilles thought for a moment, "Enkidu, go wake Nero up. Let her go to school by herself today. I have something to take care of."

“Alright, then be careful.” Enkidu nodded.

Jill changed her clothes, put on her shoes, and went outside.

……

On the street, an elderly man who looked out of place sat to one side.

Strangely, no one seemed to notice the old man; everyone acted as if they hadn't seen him at all, continuing to come and go as usual.

Jill saw the old man and walked up to him, stopping in front of him.

"You've come, King of Heroes."

“I just didn’t expect you to come. If you hadn’t used your magic to attract my attention, I wouldn’t have come.” Jill took out bread and milk. “Would you like to have breakfast together?”

The old man silently raised his head, looked at Jill for a while, and then reached out to take the bread.

P.S.: Emmm... Thank you to reader "情丿绪" for the 30-blade reward...

It seems that staying up all night to write is really not good. My life is at stake, my life is at stake. I'll try to post during the day from now on.

Chapter 287 Three Pieces of Advice

"...You're still the same as before, able to see right through people," the old man said after finishing his bread.

Jill just smiled. "After all, we're from the same hometown, aren't we?"

"You seem much more approachable now than before," the old man said. "Let me give you three pieces of advice..."

Never endorse those who attempt to start a war.

Never endorse someone who claims to bestow happiness upon their family.

Never agree with someone who harbors resentment.

The next moment, the old man vanished right in front of Jill.

"Is that so..." Gil sighed softly.

"Anyway, if I can't handle it, you'll definitely step in, right?" Jill said this before walking towards the tram station.

After all, that's your mission—

……

The staff quarters building of Saikai Gakuen High School —

Nangong Nayue's office, which is even above the principal's office, is decorated in a much more luxurious manner.

Thick plush carpets and velvet curtains. Historic antique furniture. A bed with a canopy. A room overflowing with elegance.

"Natsuki-chan. Excuse me, but I have something I'd like to ask you—"

Pushing open the heavy wooden door, Gu Cheng rashly entered the room.

Just then, a whooshing sound rang out, and another hand reached out and grabbed the fan that was about to hit Kojou Akatsuki's head.

"Calm down..." the blond youth said helplessly.

"Mind your own business!" the voice cursed.
