I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

So he left a copy of the plan on his desk as a backup plan.

It's just that it's been a while since I've been back.

I wonder how things are there now.

Jill looked at Black Rabbit, "Now that we've covered all the issues, let's talk about your community—"

"For example, what exactly happened in your community?"

A sharp glint flashed in Gil's crimson eyes.

Chapter 418 I Want to Protect This Home for My Friends

"First of all, our community lacks a self-identified name, so when others mention us, we are treated as some other nameless entity—referred to with the contemptuous term 'No Name.'" Having seen through everything, there was no other option but to lay it all out.

“Oh… being mistaken for something else, huh? Anything else?” Izayoi spoke up this time, which was unusual for her.

"Secondly, we also do not have a banner that represents the honor of the community, and this thing called a banner bears the important task of displaying the community's sphere of influence."

"And then?" Jill narrowed her eyes, sensing something...

"Besides the [title] and [flag], the most fatal thing is... that even the companions who formed the core of the community were all gone. To put it more bluntly, out of the 122 people, only I and Young Master Ren have the gift to participate in the game; the other members are all children under ten years old!"

"So you've reached a dead end?" Enkidu added.

"Yes."

Black Rabbit looked at the five people in front of her with despair.

It would have been better to wait until they agreed to join the community before finding out...

"What's going on... is it another time to take care of children?" Jill looked like she had a headache, rubbing her temples. "Did something happen to your community?"

Enkidu first showed a subtle expression, then said, "Gil, you yourself are still a child."

Yes, Jill looks only ten years old now!

It feels quite jarring that a child who looks only ten years old would say something like "it's about taking care of little kids again."

At least, Kudo Asuka looked at Gil with a strange expression in her eyes.

"Tch, wait a minute." Jill stretched out her hand, and a golden ripple opened beside her.

“A friendly reminder from the template: I have confiscated all your growth-growth pills, host—stay as a child (laughs).”

Jill looked at the little note on the bottle, and her expression became quite interesting.

"Come on, host, don't pity me just because I'm a template..."

"Boom!" The heavy punch blasted the blue light screen away, sending it flying a great distance.

But even from a great distance, Jill could still hear the template say "kimoji"...

...Damn, although it's not the first time, the template's awful personality is really hard to describe.

“Well, that’s all, let’s continue.” Jill tossed the bottle and the note into the Gate of Babylon and said.

"Ah...oh." Black Rabbit had a feeling that something extraordinary had just happened.

But her intuition also told her that she absolutely must not ask.

Otherwise, the young man in front of me would probably have an extra rabbit stew on the table today.

"...Why are you looking at me like that? Do I look like I'm going to eat people?"

You may not eat people, but you might eat rabbits.

Black Rabbit silently complained to himself.

"Then why has your community become like this? Is your community a community that only adopts children?" Jill asked.

Black Rabbit shook her head sadly. "No, their parents were also taken away. They were taken away by the greatest natural disaster that attacked the Little Garden—the Demon King."

"Demon King"

Upon hearing this term, Izayoi jumped up immediately.

"Demon... Demon King?" Izayoi's eyes sparkled like a child seeing a new toy in a shop window.

His previous carefree demeanor was gone, replaced by a slightly excited smile.

"Demon King! What's that? Demon King sounds so cool! Are there any creatures in the Little Garden with such a wonderful name as Demon King?"

"Uh...yes, but I think it's a little different from the Demon King that Mr. Izayoi imagined..."

"Is that so? But since you call yourself the Demon King, you must be a powerful and ferocious guy who wouldn't be blamed by anyone even if I used all my strength to crush them. You must be a despicable guy who is both powerful and audacious."

"Well...that's true...If we can defeat the Demon King, we might indeed receive gratitude from many sides. And if we defeat the Demon King, depending on the conditions, we might even be able to make him/her join our ranks," Black Rabbit continued to explain.

"Oh?"

"The Demon King refers to the Asura gods and Buddhas who possess a special privilege called 'Host Authority' in the miniature world. If they were to initiate a game of grace, no one could refuse. It was because we were forced to participate in the game hosted by the Demon King who possessed 'Host Authority' that our community... lost everything necessary for our activities as a 'community' unit."

This is not a metaphor. Black Rabbit and his community were stripped of their original status, reputation, and companions, leaving only ruins and empty spaces and children.

Jill looked thoughtful this time, leaning against a big tree with a serious expression.

Enkidu was slightly surprised.

Before facing the Three Pillars, Gil had never shown such an expression in his plans.

Is Gil placing the Demon King in a higher position than the Three Pillars?

But come to think of it.

Enkidu looked at Black Rabbit, "Then why did you summon someone from another world? It's really inconvenient to have no name or banner, especially since not being able to claim spheres of influence is a huge loss. Can't you come up with a new name?"

"Well... this..." Black Rabbit stammered, placing her hands on her chest.

“Yes… that’s certainly possible, but changing the name would mean the complete dissolution of the community. That won’t do! Because our greatest hope… is to protect the home where our comrades can return…!”

Wanting to protect the place where his friends can return—Black Rabbit spoke these unvarnished truths for the first time.

To protect their community and ensure the safety of their comrades who disappeared while playing games with the Demon King, they vowed to do so even if it meant being looked down upon by those around them.

"This is a thorny road, but we want to protect the place where our companions can return, while also striving to rebuild our community... One day, we will reclaim the name and banner of our community and make it shine again!"

"So, please... lend your power to our community!" Black Rabbit bowed deeply and said.

Izayoi wore a thoughtful expression.

Kudo Asuka and Kasukabe Yo were discussing something in hushed tones.

Jill gently lifted her hair with one hand, a helpless smile appearing on her lips.

Enki didn't say anything, he just looked at Gil.

The atmosphere at the entire scene became incredibly heavy.

Chapter 419 If this is what you're striving for, I don't mind lending you my power.

“Very good awareness, Black Rabbit.” Jill looked at Black Rabbit. “Well, coming to this world means facing all sorts of opponents, so setting a goal first is not a bad idea.”

“Besides, wouldn’t it be too boring if everything were perfect?” Jill snapped her fingers. “So, I agree to join your community, but there’s one thing I must say.”

Black Rabbit's face lit up with delight. "Really?"

“Yes, that’s right. After all, I never go back on my word.” Gilles said with a faint smile. “If you are doing this to protect the home where your companions can return, then for that noble spirit, I would never mind lending you my power.”

“If Gil joins, then I’ll join too,” Enkidu said.

The two of them were close friends, unique friends to each other. There was no reason for Enkidu to join another community just because Gil joined one.

On the other side, Izayoi thought for a moment, then raised an eyebrow. "Alright, if the little guy joins, I'll join too. I don't know why, but I always have a feeling that all sorts of interesting things will happen around this kid."

Izayoi's words made Gil's lips twitch.

How could Jill possibly remember that this person was a real troublemaker compared to herself?

And it's extremely easy to get into trouble.

"That sounds interesting, so count me in too?" It seemed that Kuon Asuka and Kasukabe Yo had already discussed it, so Kuon Asuka took the initiative to say this.

Kasukabe Yo also raised his hand, "Same here."

And so, the problem children agreed to join the community.

Jill had long been prepared to face all sorts of troubles, and it was certain that if the goal was to revitalize the community, it would have to confront a considerable number of enemies.

But he didn't expect...

I never imagined that my first outburst of anger would come so quickly.

……

"oh oh……"

At this moment, the outer gate of the small garden is 2105380.

Jill looked up at the massive rock wall and said with a sigh, "They say we fell from the sky. I was unconscious at the time, so it's a little regrettable that I didn't get to see such a spectacular scene."

indeed……

Gilles was severely injured by the Three Pillars and forcibly activated the Ea sword, which depleted his mental and magical energy. If it weren't for Gilles's extremely special soul, he would probably still be in a coma.

“I glanced at it before, and now it seems the miniature garden is much bigger than I imagined,” Enkidu remarked.

"Yes! Because the Little Garden can be said to be the most important city in this world!" Black Rabbit explained to everyone in a cheerful and lively tone.

"In the miniature garden, there is a huge curtain that can cover the entire city. That huge curtain was set up to protect races from direct sunlight. In addition, various Asuras and gods mainly live in the upper part of the miniature garden, so it is even said that this place is the center of the world!"

"Hmm... blocking direct sunlight, which means there might be a race like vampires, right? And the upper levels? Does this city even have different levels?"

"Yes!" Black Rabbit explained in a lively manner.

"The entire miniature city is actually divided into four regions: east, south, west, and north. In addition to being divided into four regions, the miniature city is also divided into seven levels by seven outer walls, which we call boundary walls. The seven boundary walls serve as the intervals for this classification."

In other words, in addition to being divided into four parts—east, south, west, and north—the entire miniature city is also divided into seven levels by seven barriers called boundary walls.

"We differentiate the seven tiers by the number of digits; the closer to the city center, the smaller the number of digits in that tier."

"This is the outer gate of 2105380, which is also the location of our community's base."

Black Rabbit's words made Jill nod. "So it really is the lowest level? After all, even the main members have been stripped away, and they've lost almost everything. The only place they can go is this outer gate."
