I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

"Hmm...right, that's it. Hijikata is a disgrace. You and Kushina will be tested...go away, I didn't tell him to embarrass us Homra people, I told him to throw out the unqualified guys and find a few more helpers, that's it."

After assigning the tasks, Jill put her phone aside.

Xia Shi rushed in at that moment, "Brother Jill, here are the documents..."

"Ah, I understand, I'll handle it." Jill immediately stood up.

Tsk... Oh well, I guess I'll just have to bear with it a little longer.

Jill laid out the documents in front of her and began frantically processing them.

These are all resumes of guys who want to join Homra.

Jill quickly flipped through the documents in her hands, selecting only a few pages from the first stack.

The second stack was also handed over, but the situation was similar.

Jill set the stack of documents aside and then instructed someone to send them to Chu Xingliu, so that the people who received them would conduct another round of screening.

Jill worked quickly, finishing reading through the two thick stacks of documents in no time.

Just then, the phone rang.

Jill picked up the phone, and the name on the screen caught his attention.

“The Holy Emperor…” Gil muttered helplessly as he answered the phone.

“Gil-kun…”

"Your Majesty, you wouldn't still want to persuade me to use the Holy Sword to save the D-Kyoto region, would you?"

Jill casually stuck the pen in her hand, and the seemingly unremarkable pen pierced a hole in the solid wood desk, the pen still vibrating.

“Yes… the Holy Sword is so powerful… it can definitely save this world…” the Holy Emperor pleaded. “Gil, you must believe that there is still hope for this world.”

"Hey, there's still hope," Jill replied casually, but then added, "Unfortunately, I'm not a saint, not the kind of guy who wouldn't get angry even if someone stepped on him—"

"My Holy Sword was bestowed upon me by a noble knight who recognized my worth. Even someone as noble as her would never wield the Holy Sword for those scumbags in the D-Kyo region! I killed Scorpio simply because Hiruko Kagetane displeased me!"

“So, Holy Emperor—” Gil said coldly, “I will not wield the Holy Sword for those scumbags in the D-Kyoto region! Give up!”

On the other end of the phone, the Holy Emperor fell silent, unable to speak for a long time.

……

A day later, the megalith collapsed.

Due to the wind, the megalith, which was originally expected to collapse in two days, collapsed ahead of schedule.

The Self-Defense Forces in the D-Kyoto area repel the invading Gastrea—

But the result...

All the people of Homra were watching the television.

The television broadcast showed a fierce battle, with the Self-Defense Forces and Gastrea locked in combat.

I don't know how much time passed after that.

The sounds of gunfire gradually subsided, and the gastrulation of the gastrula also decreased.

What burst forth were Gastrea.

“If the Self-Defense Forces fail, and the auxiliary police force is sent to the battlefield, the losses will be at least more than half,” Gil said.

Jill is absolutely right.

No one would doubt it.

"No need to look anymore. Everyone stand by. All those with combat capability, gather at the entrance and bring out all the weapons provided by Sima Heavy Industries. Everyone prepare for defensive operations!" Jill ordered directly.

"Yes!"

Everyone quickly got to prepare.

“Children, go back now,” Jill said to the remaining Cursed Children.

“Brother Gil…” a child stepped forward, “Will Brother Gil save the D-Kyoto region?”

“…Brother doesn’t know.” Jill crouched down. “Those guys want everyone to die… So you still think they need to be saved?”

“Brother Gil…you said that everyone makes mistakes and can repent, so can you give them a chance?” The little girl looked at Gil with pure and innocent eyes.

"Children... do you know what the power of the King of Homra is for?" Gil laughed. "It is for protection."

Jill placed her hand on the little girl's head. "Your brother's strength is for protecting you, not for protecting those bad people. You're still young, don't worry about these things, leave them all to your brother."

"Brother Jill, do you want to protect the ordinary children in the D-Kyoto area?"

"If their parents die, they'll become orphans... How pitiful..."

These two sentences stunned Jill.

Jill fell into a deep silence.

After a moment, he exhaled and said, "You guys go back first. I'll try my best."

"Yes, brother is definitely the best!"

The children dispersed, and Jill's expression was somewhat complicated.

Orphan...?

The reason I adopted these cursed children is probably because I was an orphan in my previous life... Seeing these children, I couldn't help but feel compassion.

“...Really.” Jill sighed, her expression turning cold. “Parents who abandon their children so easily, how can they be saved!”

Some of the children here in HOMRA were rescued from the river by Gil, who risked his life to save them.

Chu Xingliu, Kushina Yoru, and Hijikata Makoto—all four of them had done this kind of thing.

Some of the children were rescued, while others, whose names were never even given, were buried in a cemetery that Gil had set up far behind Homra.

“…It’s not that I don’t want to…but those people really aren’t worth saving.” Jill’s face was cold as she took a step forward.

He was going to the gates of Homra to command his men.

This area is likely to be attacked by Gastrea, so I need to be more active on the front lines.

My World Coins have somehow reached 270,000... Hmm, just a little short.

Jill picked up her cloth bag and slung it over her shoulder.

Rentaro walked over at that moment.

"Hey, Rentaro, what's wrong?" Gil asked.

"No...it's just..."

"What do you want?"

"Want... eh?"

"Your little worries are written all over your slightly troubled face..." Jill teased.

"Okay, okay, I'm really sorry about writing it on my face," Rentaro said, looking troubled. "I need that special biological solvent."

"Don't worry, I've already sent some of the new police officers to get the medicine from the doctor. What's there to worry about?" Jill sighed.

"Is that so... That's good."

Rentaro breathed a sigh of relief, and then, as if a floodgate had opened, he poured out his heart, "Actually... ever since you said those things to me the day before yesterday... I feel ashamed of being part of the plundered generation. Those guys laugh and trample on the cursed children, yet they expect us to defeat Aldebaran... How despicable!"

“Good that you understand. That’s why I didn’t want to take action.” Gil patted Rentaro on the shoulder. “Don’t worry, everyone in Homra here will be safe and sound.”

"Prepare for defense... This place might also be attacked." Jill drew her spirit sword from the bag on her back. "By the way, if any police auxiliary forces come, tell them to leave. Also, go outside and have everyone put on raincoats; it's going to rain."

"Okay!" Rentaro nodded.

……

Screams echoed throughout the D-Kyoto area.

Gastrea have invaded en masse, slaughtering civilians in the D-Kyoto region.

The civilians in the D-Kyoto region finally experienced the fear of facing Gastrea directly.

Jill's prediction was slightly wrong—

According to the original plan, Rentaro would lead his men to the rear to block some of the Gastrea, and the police auxiliary force would have more people to avoid being wiped out.

However, Rentaro abandoned the defense of the D-Kyo area, and the police auxiliary force was completely wiped out.

So now, the Gastrea are launching a massive invasion—

At this moment, Jill also looked at the outer perimeter of Homra's walls with a serious expression.

The red color spread across his eyes...

"Assault team, follow me! Support team, provide cover fire! Other positions, pay attention. Hijikata, if you lag behind now and cause someone to die, I'll chop you up. Seiryu, your assault team, pay attention too. If anyone gets seriously wounded, come back. Kushina, I trust you the most, so report any unusual activity on your end immediately! Everyone inject with the special biological solvent. Assault team, charge!"

Everyone took out a special biological solvent and injected it into a syringe, then the assault team followed Jill and charged out.

Jill was the first to face the fourth stage, the largest of the Gastrea—

"You worthless scum, die!" Gil drew both swords simultaneously, unleashing "Soul Flash: Six Flowers!"

As if space itself had shattered, a flower bloomed directly in the space, and the Stage 4 Gastrea was instantly crushed!

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!"

The assault team charged forward, unleashing a dense hail of bullets that killed many Gastrea.

"No Blood, No Bone, No Ash!" Jill shouted the Homra's slogan.

"No Blood, No Bone, No Ash!" Jill's stormtroopers chanted along with her.

Homra, like a raging fire, incinerates all the invading Gastrea!

P.S.: Shipped! Tamamo-no-Mae! Yes~ So happy~
