I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

……

"Ugh... For a king like me to have to worry about grading homework!" Jill looked at the history homework on the table. Although it was only a thin stack, Jill still couldn't help but feel overwhelmed.

“Who told you to run out on your own…” Enkidu rubbed his forehead.

“But this time, I saw him.” Jill picked up a red pen and began grading homework. “You know, he actually got in. His infiltration is really convenient.”

"Oh? You mean the old man?"

"Yeah, that bastard, he could have sneaked in every time, but he always made it look like that." Jill finished grading the homework in just a few minutes, and he casually tossed the red pen aside. "Phew, finally done."

"...! So fast! I thought..."

Seeing Enkidu's expression, Gil laughed heartily.

“I don’t think it’s any more difficult than dealing with documents,” Jill said with a forced smile.

After all, think about it, in the dark world of bullets, Jill had to deal with documents every day.

He handled it all by himself at first, and then others came to help him.

Otherwise, if one person were handling the documents, Jill would have been lying in the underworld long ago, after more than a year.

“That’s true…” Enkidu nodded.

"Brother!" A cheerful voice came from behind. Gilgamesh was hugged from behind by Nero, who rubbed his face against hers.

"What? Can't do your homework again?" Jill smiled helplessly, picked up the stack of homework in front of her, took out two sheets, and said, "Here you go."

"Hehe... Thanks, brother! I'll finish my homework later..."

"Go wherever you want, just remember to come home on time," Jill said, ruffling Nero's hair.

Enkidu watched this scene and felt that Gilgamesh was stroking the big cat's fur...

Well... it's probably just my imagination.

Enkidu simply watched Nero run out, and smiled helplessly, "The tyrant of Rome has actually become like this."

"It's all that bastard Merlin's fault..." Jill clicked her tongue, looking annoyed. "I really want to punch him in the face, he's so annoying."

"Is Jill angry?"

“I’m just annoyed.” Jill put her hands behind her head and leaned back in her chair. “But for now, we can only watch things unfold.”

“Yes…we can only…go with the flow.” Enkidu nodded slightly and placed his hand on Gil’s shoulder.

“Then, in the next world, I’ll go and repay that person for the information they gave me,” Gilles said, reaching out to grasp Enkidu’s hand.

“Then I’ll stay with you.” Enkidu also took Gil’s hand and said, “Even to the ends of the earth, even in the most dangerous places, I will stay with you.”

Gil looked at Enkidu, his eyes revealing a gentle smile that would surprise anyone who knew him.

Enkidu looked at Gil, his face filled with undisguised tenderness.

That's a smile that would never appear on the face of a so-called "doll".

That tenderness is reserved for only one person.

Yes, isn't that how they are?

They'll always be friends.

They are each other's one and only best friends.

Both...

No matter where you go.

……

The silver-haired, white-robed youth standing in the distance watched this scene and smiled gently.

Yes, you are only strong when you are together.

The fighting on the front lines has subsided... There's still time... There's still time...

The young man's lips curved into a smile, and then, like a flower in a mirror or the moon's reflection in water, his entire body dissolved away.

It was as if this person didn't exist there.

……

"You still dare to come... Aren't you afraid of being caught and beaten up?" The old man shook his head helplessly, looking in the direction where the young man had disappeared.

"Summoner...when will we meet again?"

……

At that moment, an unpleasant, jarring telephone rang in the room.

Jill's expression instantly turned very displeased.

Jill picked up the phone, but the caller ID wasn't displayed; there was only a string of unfamiliar numbers.

Jill answered the phone, "Who is this?"

"It is I, Your Majesty the Hero King, I am Demitoriye Vatora."

An elegant yet dignified voice, and one that was also incredibly irritating, rang out.

"..." Damn it, I really want to punch him through the phone and smash his head in.

As Jill pondered this serious question, the person on the other end of the phone spoke again.

"Haha... Actually, the reason I called this time was to tell you, Hero King, that we should have a friendly spar—beep—beep—beep—"

Jill wore a cold expression.

I'd like to go to your mother's house.

Who the hell wants to fight a fight with a battle maniac like you? I'm not a masochist.

"Host, please don't pity the template, please abuse it to make yourself happy..."

boom!

Jill slammed the screen next to her away.

Helplessly rubbing her head, Jill felt very sad at that moment.

Why is this so?

I've perfectly resolved everything that happened today, and I've even set a more ambitious goal with my best friend. Two joys combined should make for an even greater happiness, so why, why is this happening?

Jill's expression turned sorrowful.

"Gil, don't be so upset. We'll just go beat up that Vatora later," Enkidu said earnestly, patting Gil's head.

“Yeah, sure… but Enkidu.” Gil turned his head slightly. “Could you please stop touching my head? It feels like you’re petting a sad dog.”

"Eh? Have you been discovered?"

"Awooo! The majesty of this king! Today, I will show you my power once again! Come on, Enkidu!"

"Okay~"

Today, peace remains as it always has.

Chapter 295 Nero's Friend

Today was just another ordinary morning for Jill.

He rolled his sword-wielding loli into a caterpillar shape with a blanket and brought her to the living room for half an hour of magic practice. After that, Enkidu should get up, and he would have to make breakfast.

After breakfast is prepared, Nero will automatically get up upon smelling the aroma. Then Jill can return to her bedroom, admire her sword spirit moving around like a caterpillar for half a minute, and untie her before she explodes.

Then it's breakfast time.

However, after a brief exchange with Enkidu that day, Gil still lost.

Enkidu easily defeated him with the Chains of Heaven.

Gil covered his face, realizing that with the Chains of Heaven (Enkidu), he probably wouldn't be able to defeat Enkidu in close combat at all.

That's really upsetting.

But Jill didn't care about any of that.

After all, he was his best friend.

My only true friend.

Seeing his best friend become successful doesn't make him unhappy; he's just slightly resentful.

Hmm... if I can avoid the Enkidu, I probably won't be able to defeat him in melee combat either.

However, this only applies if Jill doesn't use the Gate of Babylon at close range.

If they really go all out, even in close combat, Gilles wouldn't be weaker than Enkidu.

Jill slightly raised her head and looked at the people at the table.

Enkidu just smiled and continued drinking his designated beverage as usual. In fact, milk tea or coffee is a really good breakfast choice for early in the morning.

Jill slowly finished her milk tea when a strange noise reached her ears.

"Meow……"

The voice was very soft, but everyone present had a perception far beyond that of ordinary people.

Jill's hand stopped moving.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that everyone except Esther froze in their tracks.

Esther wasn't interested in any of that; she was much more interested in the egg and tofu rolls in front of her.

Enkidu just looked at Gil with a strange expression, his eyes filled with doubt and question.

Jill shook her head slightly at him.

Enkidu and Gilles looked at Nero in perfect unison.

Nero's movements were a little stiff. She picked up the cup, took a sip of milk tea, and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

A hint of helplessness appeared in Jill's eyes.
