From time to time, you would chat with them about the events of Uruk. Whenever you heard about Gilgamesh's outrageous policies and then debated with him, Ningsun and Lugalbanda would only smile helplessly.

They are not worried about your conflict with Gilgamesh.

[As your parents, you two have watched you grow up and know clearly that this is how you brothers communicate.]

So, they are not worried at all.

[It's just that when you came home this time, Ning Sun's attitude was a little different from usual. Her face was sometimes sad, sometimes happy.]

[Noticing this, you proactively ask Ning Sun]

[And Ning Sun also explained the reason]

"Actually, the reason why I'm like this is because of the two dreams I had. Both dreams are related to you, Moran, and Jill..."

Ning Sun spoke in a gentle tone.

Her eyes were full of love.

[The first dream was that a meteorite that looked like Venus fell from the sky and landed in the forest.]

You were not afraid, but walked into the crater and caressed the meteorite as if it were your wife. Even though your body was burning in flames and you were enduring all kinds of pain, you still caressed it fearlessly.

The second dream was that a huge axe appeared in the square of Uruk. When people saw this axe, no one dared to approach it.

Gilgamesh was furious when he saw this thing destroy his capital. You, on the other hand, approached and caressed it nonchalantly, as if it were a rare treasure.

"Huh... a meteorite and an axe...?

Mom, your dream is too abstract."

Moran couldn't help but complain.

Although he had some understanding of Sumerian mythology, the mythology had now been disrupted by himself.

He was not sure whether the predicted outcome would be the same.

"Hmph, it's good to have one. I, your mom, usually don't have the mood to care about others. Even your dad doesn't have this kind of treatment. If it weren't for my concern for you and Jill, I wouldn't have had such a dream."

"Mom, you should be able to interpret dreams, right?"

"Haha, of course. Who is your mother? Just give me some time. It's just that these two dreams are a bit troublesome. I need some time.

However, if you are going out to Uruk on business, it is best to bring a priestess from the Temple of Ishtar with you.

This should be of some help to you.”

Ning Sun warned with great concern.

Although he didn't know what this meant, Moran knew it was useless to ask.

Ning Sun's precognitive dreams are mainly abstract.

Even Ning Sun's own dream interpretation is like putting together a puzzle, so these current suggestions are the greatest help she can give.

After all, they are all our own mothers.

Moran also felt that this was not a big deal.

As the prime minister of Uruk, he only needed to speak to the high priest Siduri to summon the priests.

Returning to Uruk from Ninsun's Garden

[In a few years, the Babylonian Treasury will be completed and the collected treasures will soon be stored there.]

[This will be a treasure house for all technologies and treasure prototypes]

You and Gilgamesh look forward to the completion of the treasury.

I don’t know if I’m infected.

You also have a collecting habit similar to Gilgamesh, wanting to collect interesting things when you see them.

[Since Uruk, the whole country has been collecting treasures from all over the world]

You saw so many interesting things.

[Therefore, it is not surprising to develop such a habit. When people see good things, they want to collect them.]

[On the other hand, you haven't reduced your attention to the underworld]

[The construction of the underworld is getting better and better]

[It has gradually expanded from a small village, initially only the size of a square, to a small urban area now]

It is much larger than the village.

Ereshkigal also began moving souls into the underworld, beginning the plan to bring in the first group of new residents.

【This project is dedicated to all souls】

[Everyone can live in this pure land]

[Not only Uruk, but the Underworld is also thriving. As the overall leader of these two major projects, you feel a great sense of accomplishment.]

[The same is true for Ereshkigal]

[At the same time, you also noticed something strange: Ereshkigal wasn't as excited as you'd imagined.]

[Although the joy in his eyes could not be concealed]

[However, she appeared to be indifferent. In the past, she would have been so moved that she would have cried.]

You noticed such a tiny detail.

[However, Ereshkigal seems to be deliberately avoiding this point, and you just find it a little strange.]

【Because of the fickle nature of women】

You didn't think too much about it.

"...~Huh...Isn't it a bit too forced...?"

Ereshkigal exhaled.

She frowned, took off her disguise, and looked quite tired.

Her slender legs were also trembling slightly.

"But it's going much better than I expected. The passage to Uruk will be completed soon. If it's just this little problem, I can definitely handle it... I'm the mistress of the underworld... I won't...!"

Suddenly, Ereshkigal stumbled forward.

She leaned against the stone pillar and almost lost her balance.

A drop of crystal sweat slowly flowed down from her forehead, but a smile appeared on her face.

Thinking about Moran's caring words before he left.

Sure enough, he has always cared about me so much.

Her acting skills were almost exposed.

Chapter 459: A Pledge from the Self [Subscribe! Flowers!]

"Really...if I do this...you will definitely scold me...but...I still want to stay with you longer...it's been so long...I also want to be willful occasionally..."

The goddess of the underworld feels tired and uncomfortable.

This situation is becoming increasingly serious.

[At first I was just a little weak, then I felt dizzy, and now I feel weak all over.]

[However, it’s not unacceptable.]

If this were just a minor cold-like symptom, it wouldn't be a big deal to her.

[When the main passage to Uruk is completed]

【Can meet you anytime and anywhere】

[We will spend our days at a closer distance than now, and even more embarrassing and heart-warming things will happen]

[Just thinking about it makes her excited]

[In my chest, I felt an unprecedented sense of happiness, and my legs couldn't help but close together.]

[Because of the persistence and love in my heart]

[She has also honed her acting skills to perfection, concealing her feelings from those she loves. This spirit can't be described as unwavering perseverance, but rather as a foolish goddess who has fallen in love and is intoxicated.]

[Although, it is just as painful as when I was 290 alone before]

【But she felt that this was not only pain, but also happiness】

[After many days, I come to the underworld again]

[Because you are still thinking about Ereshkigal's strange behavior last time, you are uneasy and your intuition keeps coming back.]

So, you adjusted your time this time and arrived in the underworld much earlier than originally expected.

[In the past, if it was within the scheduled time]

Ereshkigal would have been waiting for you on the stone bridge early, but this time you arrived early. Naturally, you didn't see that familiar figure on the stone bridge.

Ereshkigal is not the only one missing her.

You're thinking about her too.

Whenever I deal with the affairs of Uruk, I can’t help but think of the last time I was with Ereshkigal. She seemed to be holding on to something, with a hint of reluctance.

Of course, you can’t confirm this.

[She concealed this little detail so well that you can't be sure it was her acting]

【Go down along the stone bridge】

[Thanks to the authority granted by Ereshkigal, you can reach the palace unimpeded.]

[Arrived at the palace, where you see——]

The palace remained cold and deserted.

Even though Moran brought warmth and flowers to the underworld, Ereshkigal still did not build his own palace first.

In her eyes, other people are more important.

You can put your own things aside.

"Mo, Moran...?! Why...are you here...?"

Ereshkigal obviously hadn't expected this.

There was a panic look on his face.

She lay weakly on the smooth stone bed made of stone pillars, her round face having a paler color than before.

I don’t know if it’s panic or anxiety.

She forced herself to sit up from the stone bed.

However, I don't even have the strength to do this.

Her arms, as thin as willow branches, kept shaking, and before she could sit up, she could no longer support herself.

She was about to fall onto the stone bed.

At the moment when Ereshkigal was about to fall, those familiar and warm arms embraced her.

".....Your body temperature...is so cold!"

Moran's eyes suddenly widened.

A few days ago, he simply felt that Ereshkigal's divinity came with a chill, and didn't think too much about it.

It is normal for the goddess of the underworld to emit cold air.

But, even the skin is so cold.

She was not like this half a month ago.

Just look at Ereshkigal's exhausted appearance, and there is no trace of blood on his face.

Just like a sick patient.

"Ereshkigal...what's going on!?"
