I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

Enkidu, seeing Gil's expression, understood what Gil was thinking.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that after signing the "Spirit Contract" in the world of Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance, their hearts became even more connected.

Sometimes, Gilles only needs to give Enkidu a glance to understand what Gilles is thinking.

Jill is in the same situation.

Furthermore, Jill discovered that the binding power of the Enkidu, in addition to the binding object, also increases as the magic power Jill injects into it grows stronger.

Far away.

Anyway, Gilles stood up and walked toward Nero's room.

"Brother!?" Nero then stepped in front of Gilgamesh. "What are you doing?"

“…” Gilles stared at Nero.

After losing her memory, she can't even hide her thoughts anymore.

“Sigh…” Jill rubbed her temples and then reached out.

The silver chains, enveloped in golden light, ripped a cardboard box out.

Inside the cardboard box was a small white kitten. It wasn't very big, and it was a chubby little thing that looked incredibly cute. It had big, bright eyes, and Jill could easily see her own reflection in them.

"Where did this kitten come from?" Jill reached out, picked up the kitten, and held it up to her face.

"Meow?" The kitten looked at Jill, its clear cat eyes filled with curiosity.

“Ah… this…” Nero knew she couldn’t hide it anymore when she saw the box being pulled out by the Enkidu. She stammered, “It was… left here with me by a friend.”

“…” Jill glanced at Nero, whose face was covered in cold sweat.

"Hmph... Never mind, it's fine. We're not short of food anyway, so let's keep it. If you like it, you can ask your friend for it." Jill put the kitten down. "There's no need to hide this. I'm not an unreasonable parent."

It's just raising cats and dogs. Jill raised those kids in Homra (Black Bullet) too. It's not like she can't have these kinds of things.

It was quite amusing to watch Chu Xingliu and his friends deal with the kittens, puppies, and children.

A faint smile flashed across Jill's face. "Alright, let's eat quickly, we have to go out."

"Ah, okay." Nero relaxed after hearing Gil's words.

Gilles's absolute authority had already taken root in Nero's mind.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that many people in their class have experienced this hardship...

For example, if the amount of homework suddenly doubles... If Jill says that she won't see twice the amount of homework she finished the day before the next day, the consequences will probably be even worse...

Gil tidied up the dishes she had used and then waited for Nero.

Nero quickly tidied up his tableware, picked up his schoolbag, and headed towards the door.

……

On the tram, Nero asked Gilles, "Brother Gilles, why..."

"I don't object to you having a cat?" Jill scoffed. "Why would I object?"

"But...you're not..."

“I’m not some old-fashioned parent,” Jill shrugged. “It’s just a cat, no big deal.”

He wasn't unreasonable; it was just as he said, raising a kitten was nothing.

"Speaking of which, Nero, your friend—"

"Ah, it's alright, it's alright. Xia Yin is a kind child, and this little cat will be fine too..." Nero quickly said, as if afraid that Gil would change his mind.

Jill smiled helplessly, "I said I would raise her, so I will, don't panic—so, what kind of child is Xia Yin?"

“Hmm… Natsune-chan… is a very kind and gentle child…” Nero’s eyes held a look that was… well, a look of doting affection. “I like her very much.”

“Is that so…” Jill nodded slightly. “You have a good opinion of her—and I believe you.”

Jill kept the rest of her sentence to herself.

However, we'll have to wait for my evaluation to see the specifics.

He is not the kind of person who easily believes others based on just one side of the story.

You can only know the truth after you see it with your own eyes, right?

Although what you see may not always be true, but—

It's better than seeing nothing, isn't it?

Chapter 296 Just how many spells were laid out...?

The tram arrived at the station soon.

Jill and the others got off the bus with the flow of people.

Jill walked toward her office as usual.

At that moment, an irresistible force pulled Jill into a corner.

“…What’s wrong with you, Nangong Nayue?” Jill asked, looking at Nangong Nayue.

“…I have a favor to ask you,” Nangong Nayue said.

Jill raised an eyebrow. "About your true form?"

Nangong Nayue paused for a moment, then sighed helplessly, "With your perception... it's normal that you can sense it."

“…Let’s talk about something,” Jill said, changing the subject.

Nangong Nayue dragged Jill into an empty classroom, which looked like a laboratory.

The laboratory was still empty, and it looked like no one had been there.

“But it’s not about my body—it’s about something else,” Nangong Nayue said.

"...Why are you asking me for help?" Jill asked. "With your abilities, handling some things shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

Although after retrieving the Gate of Babylon, Jill only had a few True Ancestors left to fear in this world, Jill felt that Nagisa could still fight him for a few rounds with her most proficient spatial control magic.

There are definitely no more than twenty people who could receive such high praise from Jill in a certain area.

Now, this kind of person is actually asking him for help?

“We’ll talk about this later,” Nangong Nayue said. “But this time, remember to control your strength. We need to capture him alive.”

"Heh heh... arresting someone." Jill tossed her hair up. "Got it."

“I’ve arranged for someone to cover your class today—now, come with me.” Nangong Nayue grabbed Gil’s arm and then activated a spatial control magic.

……

"The Foundation Gate? Why did you bring me here?"

Standing inside the elevator, Jill glanced at Nagatsuki to the side and asked.

"I don't know either, but I had a bad feeling, so I called you along."

The elevator, which had been descending continuously, finally came to a silent stop.

The floor plan shows the sixteenth basement level. This is the central hub of the Itogami Island artificial island, the security department of the artificial island management company within the Foundation Gate.

"Hey, Natsuki-chan, over here!"

I don't know who called Natsuki's name in such an affectionate tone.

"Whether it's Xiaogucheng or you... haven't I told you several times not to add 'chan' after your homeroom teacher's name?"

As she spoke, she stared at a boy with short, spiky hair.

He was wearing a black jacket, which was the uniform of the investigation department of the artificial island management company. His headphones were casually draped around his neck, and he grinned shamelessly.

"I thought it was something serious when the company called me out personally, so I even pulled him over... Oh, it's you, Yase."

"I'm sorry. The council (us) is also short-staffed."

Yase Motoki said without any apology, then led the way, taking Gil and the other into the room.

This room resembled a hospital operating room. Surrounded by expensive medical equipment, a teenage girl lay asleep on the bed. She appeared to have suffered a serious injury, as her entire body was wrapped in bandages.

Moreover, the girl's hands and feet, which were covered in injuries, were inexplicably held firmly in place by heavy metal instruments.

That month looked down at her mercilessly and snorted.

"—Is this the fifth one? Last night, he seemed to have caused quite a stir."

"Yes. Two buildings are half destroyed. Seven buildings are on fire. Reports of damage such as power and water outages, and broken glass are still being compiled... This time the situation is relatively good. After all, the area is a commercial area with few residential buildings."

"Gil-sensei, you're here too?" Yase Motoki looked at Gil and grinned.

“Yeah, I was suddenly pulled over by Nangong Nayue.” Gil looked at the girl. “The explosion and the destruction of the spell last night were all caused by this girl.”

“You bastard… just how many spells did you set up…” Nangong Nayue stared at Gil and asked.

"Don't worry, it's just for monitoring magical reactions," Jill replied. "After all, I don't like spying or anything like that."

Jill adheres to the principle of honesty and integrity—however, if someone plots against him, he doesn't mind using even more horrific schemes to torment them and make them wish they were dead.

Jill looked at Nagatsuki, "What exactly happened?"

“Let me tell you about this, Giles-sensei,” Yase Motoki took the initiative to start the conversation and then explained the cause and course of events.

Late the night before last, an incident occurred in the island west ward of Itogamijima.

Two unregistered demons, each possessing exceptional combat skills, engaged in a prolonged battle in the skies above the city. The surrounding buildings caught in the fight suffered heavy damage.

This girl, captured after being severely injured, was one of the two unregistered demons.

"...And there's someone else fighting her?" Jill asked.

"His true identity is still unclear. And the investigation has run into difficulties."

Hearing Yase Motoki's somewhat dejected words, Natsuki raised her eyebrows with amusement, "So even you couldn't track me down?"

"Ah—no, no. The opponent is too bad," Yase Motoki said, scratching his head.

Motoki Yase is an overadapted individual—not a demon, but a superhuman born as a human. His superpower is the ability to amplify his hearing through telekinesis, allowing him to monitor situations within a kilometer radius like a sophisticated radar.

Incidentally, when Akatsuki Kojo went berserk last time, Yase Motoki suffered because of this ability.
