I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

Siegfried took Kiana, bewildered. "You're not some legendary great magician, are you? Like Merlin, who helped King Arthur ascend the throne?"
Jill's lips twitched. "I can only be considered a magician... well, and Merlin, whom I know... is a complete scoundrel... don't even mention him."
"...A swindler?" Siegfried looked puzzled.
If this guy in front of me knew that Merlin wasn't some kind old man, but a silver-haired, white-haired con artist who was skilled at swindling people and had such thick skin that even a barrage of Ora Ora Ora couldn't break through his defenses...
My worldview is probably going to collapse...
"Alright, alright, I'd better not say anything, lest your worldview collapses after hearing this." Gil glanced at Kiana, then at Siegfried. "I don't understand how someone like you managed to find a wife, and even have a daughter..."
"Hmph, you tyrant with a harem of three thousand women don't seem to have the right to talk to me like that," Siegfried said, looking at Gilles.
Gilles stared at Siegfried with dead fish eyes: "I'm still so young, where would I get a harem...?"
"Um...it seems...that's true..."
……
Otto stared at the data on the crystal screen, and after a moment, the data began to decrease sharply.
"...As expected of you... You buried your own power in the class card beforehand, waiting for Gilgamesh to absorb the power within the class card, while also waiting for the opportunity to completely destroy Anne's consciousness within Gilgamesh..."
Otto muttered to himself, "After all... you've always been so meticulous in your calculations. No matter which Holy Grail War, no matter which battle against the Destruction Factor, you've never made a mistake..."
"The Wise King has done so much for you, you can't possibly lose again... Jill! From now on, whether it's the final trial for humanity or the Destruction Factor... you won't lose... right!"
Chapter Sixty-Seven: Theresa's Question
After Gilles and Siegfried chatted for a while longer, Siegfried picked up Kiana and left because she looked sleepy.
Jill thought for a moment, then realized she'd forgotten something...
Hmm...right, it seems I left something behind at the Tower of Babel...that design drawing I was working on...
“…Never mind, I’ll just draw another one later…” Jill rubbed her head and then walked towards her room.
Anyway, the design blueprints can't be driven without Kamui, so even if Otto got his hands on them, he would have to modify them instead of manufacturing and using them directly.
Anyway, I'll be leaving here in a few days.
Jill didn't intend to stay permanently at the Schicksal headquarters. As long as she could find a place big enough to move all the children from back then... that wouldn't be difficult for Jill.
After all, Gil doesn't have much else, but he certainly has a lot of gold... Gil believes that buying a piece of land large enough to build something like the original "HOMRA" would be more than enough.
Jill used gold to smash away that pure land belonging to the "cursed children," oh, and gems as well.
Although that greedy guy wanted to ask for more money, after Gil saw through his intentions, it almost led to something like Jotaro smashing DIO's head in—don't even think about it, Gil was playing Jotaro.
Jill then used this as a reason to cut the price down to 60% of the original price.
Why not take advantage of any opportunity? Jill isn't really rich and stupid; the best thing is to get more done with less money.
The task at hand this time is no different from before.
It's all about using money to buy the land you want!
With this in mind, Jill had another idea.
He's going to draw up architectural designs!
"Hmm... Before that, we need to get those children to a safe place... Oh right, should we ask Theresa first? But it seems Theresa lives with Otto..."
Jill, caught in a dilemma, felt a slight headache coming on.
"Ugh...this is so troublesome, I haven't bought a new phone yet...let me see which of these works." Jill went back to her room and put all her previous phones on the bed.
Hmm...this seems to be the closest to the present day...By the way, does that short-legged nun Theresa have a phone number...?
Jill picked up the phone she bought in the world of Magical Girl Illya, intending to quickly check if Theresa's phone number was in the script using her Omniscient Star ability, but then she discovered...
Is Theresa coming to ask him something?
Jill decisively waved her hand and put all the phones away.
Anyway, Theresa will probably tell him what it is, right?
Jill took out the prepared paper, and the pencil fell into his hand as well.
There's still plenty of time, so let's take our time drawing up the design sketches first...
As Jill thought about it, she raised the pencil in her hand.
Soon, the rustling sound of pens falling on paper filled the room once again...
……
"Knock knock knock..." The knocking came as expected. Jill stood up and opened the door.
A white-haired girl in a nun's habit stood there.
"You're here... Is there something you want to discuss with me?"
As Jill walked back to the table to continue drawing the design, she asked a question.
"...I have a few questions to ask you."
Theresa closed the door and stared intently at Jill.
"Ask away, but I'll answer as needed, not every question," Jill said as she sharpened the pencil with a pencil sharpener, as it became a little dull.
"...Those children...I mean the children beneath the Tower of Babylon laboratory...what are you going to do with them?" Theresa asked.
Jill paused for a moment.
"Not for myself, but for others to come and ask me... I guess that's how it is..." Jill chuckled, sharpened her pencil, finished drawing the last bit of the design, and put the pencil down.
“I’ve already made plans for this, so you don’t need to worry about it…” Jill said as she took out a second set of drawings and began to draw the second design.
He still needs to find a suitable island... and then there's recruiting people, and so on...
We did something like this once when we first formed HOMRA, but back then we had assistants, so Jill had it relatively easy and was only responsible for spending money and designing...
Now, he may have to take on even more things.
"Ah, those guys may be a little silly at times, but they're reliable when it comes to getting things done..." Jill muttered to herself as she made a few more strokes on the design drawing.
“So… if you also want to settle them, would you like to cooperate with me?” Theresa asked.
“…Cooperation…?” Jill paused, then looked at Theresa. “How do you mean by cooperation?”
"I've already applied to my grandfather... ah, the archbishop, for an artificial island in the Far East to build St. Freya Academy..."
Theresa said, "There I will take in those girls who are being used as test subjects... I will teach them how to control their powers, and one day... they will be able to live like normal people, or like me, a Valkyrie..."
Jill fell silent.
The entire room fell into an atmosphere of deathly silence.
After an unknown amount of time, the sound of pens scratching against paper began to come from Jill's direction, breaking the silence.
Jill seemed to have finally made up her mind, saying, "Then, I can cooperate with you."
Jill handed the completed design drawings to Theresa. "These are the architectural drawings, for the teaching building section—don't worry, I studied design specifically."
Theresa picked up the design drawings in a daze, probably because she was shocked by the fact that an ancient human had studied design.
Jill chuckled nonchalantly, "I've sheltered children far more detestable than these before, so don't worry that I'll hate kids. On the contrary... those children are the treasures of this world, and those who harm them deserve to be punished!"
He did indeed use harsh methods back then.
Thinking of the children, Jill also made up her mind to go back to that world next time to see if those idiots had developed HOMRA properly.
“Then… let’s start our collaboration like this.” Theresa looked at the design drawings in her hand. Although she couldn’t understand them completely, the ingenuity of the designs was still quite evident.
Jill simply nodded, then said, "Didn't you say you still had questions? Go ahead and ask, and I'll answer your questions as needed."
Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Interlude
"..." Theresa fell silent after hearing Jill's words.
“Can you tell me about those children?” Theresa asked.
Jill's pen seemed to pause for a moment, then began to make a "rustling" sound again. "Those children? You mean the children I adopted? I'm sorry... but I can't tell you... After all, before they met me, those children's lives were hell... though not entirely."
Theresa looked a little flustered, and Jill continued, "If there are no problems, you can go back."
After hearing Jill's words, Theresa sighed and composed herself before asking, "...One last question, how about we move to a bigger house?"
Jill paused, her pen still, and looked at Theresa.
……
Sitting in the car, Jill played on her phone out of sheer boredom while looking at the scenery outside the window.
Aside from the sounds of the engine and air conditioning, no one was speaking inside the car.
Theresa looked at the boy in front of her with some unease.
To be honest, the opponent's strength was too great. He could even take down a Herrscher single-handedly. There was also the attack that stretched for hundreds of kilometers across the Siberian snowfield, completely annihilating everything. The boy next to him was simply as terrifying as a human walking bomb.
“Don’t be so anxious. I’m not the kind of person who will explode at the slightest provocation.” Jill broke the silence first, yawning as she spoke. “And don’t worry about me having a bad temper. As long as you don’t cross my bottom line, I won’t do anything.”
Doesn't this mean that if you cross your bottom line, you'll explode on the spot?
Theresa silently thought to herself, "Oh right, where's that kid who calls you 'brother'?"
Jill paused for a moment before realizing that Theresa was referring to Esther.
This girl... she's probably running around like this because she hasn't had any proper exercise in a long time...
Gil couldn't help but feel a little apologetic towards Esther.
It seems like it's been a long time since I've spent much time with Esther.
From the moment the miniature garden began, things kept happening one after another, leaving Gil in a state of utter chaos.
“Estelle? Here she is.” Jill drew her silver dagger. “But she’s still sleeping, so let’s not disturb her.”
Theresa stared blankly at the small silver sword in Jill's hand.
this……
This is too fantastical...
