I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

“I’m still quite sensitive to auras,” Enkidu said with a slight smile.

Enkidu's aura perception is A+, the highest level of aura perception. At such close range, unless it's the highest level of aura concealment like the Mountain Elder, other Assassins' aura concealment won't even work on Enkidu.

Under such a powerful aura, it's incredibly difficult to conceal one's presence.

"No...please don't! Being stared at like that, like a terrifying wolf, will kill me! Yes, yes, loneliness and wolves have always been the natural enemies of rabbits. If you could spare me some consideration for my fragile heart..."

At this moment, a girl who looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old emerged from behind the tree. She had long, light blue hair that reached her waist, wore a miniskirt and stockings, and was dressed in a very eye-catching and beautiful manner.

The girl also had a pair of ears that were the same light blue color on her head.

Those were rabbit ears.

However, just as the girl emerged from behind the big tree, Enkidu spoke again.

"Ah, if you're not coming out, don't blame me for using some force." Enkidu said, stretching out his hand.

The next moment, countless silver chains flew and suddenly shot towards the big tree.

"Eee ...

The chains slammed into the ground, sending up clouds of smoke and dust.

"Wow, that's a quick reaction!"

Enkidu narrowed his eyes. Although the girl seemed flustered, she moved with great ease when dodging the Chains of Heaven (Enkidu).

When Kudo Asuka saw the girl, she asked in surprise, "What is that?"

Kasukabe You blinked, then asked, "Cosplay?"

"No way! Black Rabbit isn't cosplaying!"

At this moment, Kasukabe Yō, looking incredulous, walked to the side of the black rabbit, grabbed the bottom of the rabbit's ears, and pulled upwards forcefully.

"Hey!"

"Oh my god—please...please wait a minute! If you just wanted to touch me, I could accept it silently, but you're trying to pluck my beautiful ears right after we met! What are you thinking?!"

"It was an action driven by curiosity."

"Even spontaneity should have its limits!"

"Oh? Are these rabbit ears real?" This time, it was Izayoi's turn to grab the ear from the right and tug it.

“…Then I’ll give it a try.” Asuka grabbed the girl’s left ear.

"Please...please wait a moment—!"

The black rabbit, whose ears were being pulled with all its might from both sides, let out a scream that was impossible to understand, which echoed around the area.

Enkidu watched this scene, a hesitant expression on his face.

Why do I have this feeling that if I were to appear here in my true form, I might end up like those two rabbit ears?

“…Gil, it’s really dangerous here. We should retreat first…” Enkidu said to himself, holding Gil in his arms.

"Don't go yet! Aaaaaaaahh ...

Enkidu paused, turned around, and said, "Wait, I'm not listening. Farewell."

"Please, at least help me out..." Black Rabbit said, her face almost tearful.

"……don't want."

"I can help you save your friend!!!"

……

"Thank you so much." Enkidu freed the rabbit's ears from the hands of those problem children twenty minutes later.

“…No…I just feel that helping you was a mistake.” Enkidu’s expression became very complicated.

Because the number one problem child of the day was looking at her with extremely, extremely, extremely interested eyes.

Eyes are on other people's bodies, Enkidu can't just snap their heads back, can he?

Hmm... Gil would go after anyone. Last time, that magical criminal who looked at Enkidu with malicious eyes was chopped up by Gil.

"Whatever, just hurry up and continue." Izayoi said, sounding slightly impatient.

Black Rabbit almost wanted to cry.

Why are they all a bunch of problem children...?

“Hmm…where is this…” A slightly deep voice rang out, and Black Rabbit’s gaze was drawn to the owner of the voice.

The person lying quietly in Enkidu's arms opened their crimson eyes.

Jill awoke from her deep sleep to find the world transformed.

Moreover, the person in front of me... is a girl with rabbit ears.

So, driven by curiosity, and before Enkidu could even react, Gil's hand had already grabbed the rabbit's ear.

"Eee-ya ahh ...

Screams echoed through the forest once again.

Chapter 417 Isn't it a generally accepted fact that rabbits are submissive?

This time, Enkidu once again helped the rabbit rescue its ears from a problem child who was seeing the rabbit-eared girl for the first time.

However, the timing was different. It only took two minutes and a sentence that made the rabbit furious: "We can play with these ears next time. Now let's listen to the important matter."

Obviously, the black rabbit bristled, "The black rabbit is not your toy!"

"..." Gil paused for a moment, then looked at Enkidu, "What happened to the rule that rabbits are always the bottom?"

"Black Rabbit is not a bottom!" Black Rabbit continued to bristle.

"Ha, that's not convincing at all. Even those guys over there wouldn't agree with your point that you're not a bottom!" Gil pointed to Izayoi and the others on the side.

The three of them nodded at the same time.

Black Rabbit then realized that this seemingly adorable guy was actually a top-notch problem child!

"Alright, Jill, let her tell you about the world she's in front of you."

However, there are still men who can keep Jill in check.

As soon as Enkidu spoke, Gil nodded, "Okay."

He sat there obediently...

Black Rabbit looked at Enkidu with some surprise.

"Stop fooling around, Black Rabbit, continue," Enkidu said, looking at Black Rabbit.

"Well then, shall I begin? First of all, welcome to the [Miniature Garden]! We have sent out invitations to everyone, and we invite those who possess a gift to participate in the Gift Game!"

"Gifted Game?" Enkidu murmured softly.

"Yes! You all know that you are not ordinary humans without me having to explain. This special power is a blessing bestowed upon you by all kinds of Asuras, gods, demons, elves, and stars."

The "Gift Game" is a game where players compete against each other using this gift. This miniature world was created to provide a fun and enjoyable experience for those who possess powerful gifts!

"Hmm...it sounds more like a top-tier server in a game inviting top players from other servers," Jill remarked after hearing this.

Indeed, the sheer power level of the Little Garden world is undeniable...

Look at that Izayoi Sakamaki over there. Even if the three pillars were tied together, they wouldn't be enough to defeat him alone.

"Can we start with the basics? Who are you referring to as 'we'?" Kudo Asuka raised her hand, asking like a good student.

"YES! When a gift holder summoned from another world wants to start a life in the Little Garden, they must belong to one of the many communities."

“Hey, let’s talk about communities, you cute bunny,” Jill suddenly said. “For example, first tell me what a community is, and then tell me—your community.”

It seemed that Jill had mentioned something Black Rabbit was trying to hide, because Black Rabbit's expression changed, and her hands behind her back clenched together nervously.

Jill realized that she had asked the crucial question.

“You’ve brought up the concept of a community, which clearly means you want us to join your community, right?” Jill raised an eyebrow and said, “In that case, let’s be frank. At least let us know what kind of organization your community is.”

After Jill finished speaking, she continued to quietly watch the Black Rabbit.

"The so-called community refers to the various forces in this world." Black Rabbit could only continue speaking along with Jill's words.

"Whether you are the organizer or the participant, you must carry out the Gift Game in the name of the community. Therefore, it is essential for anyone who comes to this world to join a community first."

"The organizer?" Kasukabe Yō, standing next to Kuon Asuka, repeated the word with some confusion. "Does it refer to the person who organizes the game?"

“Yes, sometimes. Some idle Asura gods and Buddhas will hold games under the guise of testing humanity, and some forces will hold games for various purposes,” Black Rabbit continued.

"The former can generally be participated in by anyone who possesses a gift, but the difficulty is very high, and it may even be life-threatening. In contrast, the prizes for winning are very generous, and there is a great chance to receive a new gift. The latter generally requires participants to prepare their own chips, and once a participant becomes a loser in the game, they must give the prepared chips to the organizer."

"A bargaining chip?" Kasukabe Yō's expression became somewhat troubled.

"But we didn't bring anything valuable with us."

“Whether it’s valuable items, land, rights, reputation, or even humanity itself, or even one’s own gifts, everything can be used as a bargaining chip. Although losing means losing the power and wealth one originally possessed, winning means gaining new power and wealth from others. This is a world where everything revolves around this game, so participating in the Game of Gifts is an essential and the most important part.”

"A world where everything revolves around games?" Kudo Asuka narrowed her eyes.

"In other words, the so-called Gift Game is equivalent to the law of this world, right?"

"That's why I hate gods. They're high above, with nothing better to do than make people risk everything to play some kind of game..." Jill muttered to herself.

Joining a community is no small matter, but joining such a force also means facing "opposition".

In the world of K, Homra and the dark world of ** were both established. Jill naturally knew that clashes between these forces were inevitable.

You should know that in the dark world of **, Jill was repeatedly harassed. If Jill hadn't been strong enough and hadn't been concerned about those innocent children, she would have already turned on them and stormed into the D-Kyoto region to smash the giant stone monument.

Finally, when he could no longer tolerate those scumbags, Jill gave up on the D-Kyoto region.

Even with blood and fire right before your eyes.

That couldn't make Jill feel even the slightest bit of sympathy for those scumbags.

Even as he watched those scum die before his eyes, Jill felt no pity, only pleasure.

If the World Fragment weren't inside Aldebaran, Jill wouldn't even bother with it. With his abilities, he could easily create a barrier around the Homra that Gastrea couldn't approach.

But Jill must retrieve the world fragments.
