Anime: Blue-Eyes Baby Dragon, picked up by the Knight King

But Shirataki doesn't see it that way.

"Practice slowly?"

"Do you really think that King Gilgamesh would treat us to a meal for no reason?"

Having recovered a bit of his strength, Shirataki sat up from the grass, looked at the orange-red clouds in the distance, and said with great confidence:

"He's a stingy man who appears to be rich, but is actually so stingy that he'll even count a grain of rice with you!"

"At the same time, he is a man who will not do anything unless it is beneficial to him."

"He doesn't even bother to talk to those who are worthless. He even thinks their existence is a waste of food—let alone offering to buy us a drink."

A very fair assessment.

Recalling the contact over the past few days, Artoria nodded, with an expression of conviction on her face.

"So? You mean he invited us to dinner because he had something to ask of us?"

"But that shouldn't be the case. He's already a Heroic Spirit... His life is frozen in time. What else could he possibly need our help with?"

Altria was a little confused.

But Bai Taki just shook his head silently and said nothing.

——Even if she told him, she would never understand what level of enemy the so-called [Mother Goddess of Creation] was.

They might even develop a contempt for the Fourth Beast because they once defeated it.

"can only say."

“There are differences between beasts.”

……

Night falls.

Fuyuki City, old town.

It was still the familiar Edelfelt family villa - but this time the venue for the banquet was changed from the restaurant to the garden.

Moreover, the food for the banquet was not prepared by professional chefs. Instead, semi-finished ingredients were bought in advance and a relatively primitive barbecue banquet was prepared in the yard.

"We are experts at barbecue!"

Jeanne Lily looks like a little kid who is capable outside.

Not only did she become the head chef, but she also had a lot of fun with a group of children.

Even Rin Tohsaka and Illya, who are born to be incompatible, seem to be able to temporarily put aside their prejudices against each other and get along with each other under her leadership.

——Should I say, she is worthy of being the big sister from Dongremi Village?

"Hey, if you're a man, drink this wine!"

King Iskandar of Conquerors brought a barrel of wine from somewhere - it was actually a very high-end wine, but in Gilgamesh's mouth it became "garbage".

He poured a full glass of wine and handed it to Webber Velvet, looking at the "child" who already knew the whole truth with an unquestionable tone.

"I……"

The young magician hesitated and subconsciously looked at the ster next to him.

But Caster never looked at him. He just held a cup of divine wine that he had begged from Gilgamesh and sipped it slowly.

"All right--"

Weber suddenly accepted his fate.

He suddenly felt that it would not be bad if he could become like this in the future?

I just don't know if he can find a wife?

"He smokes and drinks, doesn't like talking to people, and his favorite thing besides magic is playing games alone in the teacher's apartment... There's no way a guy like that could find a wife, right?"

"No, you can't think like that. He's my future self... I hope there's a blind person who'll fall in love with him!"

As Weber thought about this, he picked up the large wine glass in his hand, closed his eyes and drank the liquid in it.

"Cough-cough-"

Maybe he choked because he drank too quickly, or maybe it was the taste of alcohol that stimulated him - for some reason, after drinking this big glass of wine, he suddenly wanted to cry.

Then he really started crying.

But this time, even the King of Conquerors, who was used to talking about "manliness", did not scold him.

Because he knew that those were not tears of cowardice, nor were they tears shed because of fear of impending separation.

It was just the tenderness of an ordinary boy who grew into a real man after experiencing the trials of blood and fire.

"Goodbye."

"Webber Velvet."

"I will be your subject two thousand years from now."

……

It's time to say goodbye again.

The courtyard, originally filled with the aroma of roasted meat, was suddenly filled with a shower of rose blossoms.

——That was the Roman emperor saying goodbye to them.

"Well, I hope we can decide the true champion next time, huh!"

"Besides, my friend. What's so good about Santa Claus? If you want to be an emperor, be an emperor—an emperor like me!"

"But being an emperor is also very hard... Alas, you should just be a cute little child and sing praises of my empire to your heart's content!"

Nero's voice dissipated along with the fragrance of the flowers.

At the same time, the figure of the green man also disappeared.

Now, there are only three servants left in this courtyard: Shirataki, Gilgamesh, and Altria.

They seemed to be competing with each other to see who could stay here longer.

"I guess it's you guys."

Gilgamesh sat across from Shirataki and pointed at his eyes.

Shirataki was about to accuse him of cheating—but suddenly, he felt his palms suddenly feel warm.

It's a dragon scale.

To be precise, it is a dragon scale transformed from a five-yen coin.

At the same time, a vigorous yet anxious cry for help rang out in his mind.

"Lord White Dragon God!!!"

"Save me——".

Chapter 143: Tiga: This is what we, the incarnation of light, are like!

2655 BC.

Ancient Mesopotamia, Kingdom of Uruk.

Led by the court magician Merlin, the savior from Chaldea came to this last refuge of mankind and successfully met King Gilgamesh of this era in the temple.

"The grain convoy was attacked by monsters? I see. Send a 20-man army to escort it along the way!"

"Send Tru back from the front. He hasn't been home in three months."

"Wenlina's daughter is about to be born. Siduri, send a witch with some food to take care of her."

"Also, order the kitchen to prepare enough food. There must be meat—even if it's monster meat."

That was a King Gilgamesh that was completely different from the rumors and people's stereotypes.

He sat on a throne made of gold and began to work tirelessly. During this period, let alone taking a short break, he didn't even have a chance to breathe.

——At every moment, the latest information is gathered here from all directions and presented to the king through the guards in the palace.

The tense atmosphere of having to deal with government affairs continuously without a moment's respite was something that Fujimaru Ritsuka had never felt before, even though he had traveled to six singularities.

And that kind of efficient way of handling government affairs was something Fujimaru Ritsuka had never seen before.

"King Gilgamesh, we..."

At the introduction of the court magician named Merlin, the savior had originally planned to introduce himself first and then explain the situation to the king who was busy with official duties.

But——the king who was high above them didn't even give them a chance to introduce themselves.

"Um……"

"Okay, I already know your situation."

"I won't verify your identity. I'm very busy and don't have time to play childish games with you."

"Alright, summon it. Summon the god you carry with you—then you can do whatever you want!"

Gilgamesh spoke quickly, his skilled gestures as if he was handling government affairs.

But the orange-haired girl was stunned for a moment.

"God?"

She turned her head and looked at Mashu, and they saw strong doubts in each other's eyes.

A god you carry with you?

What strange things is this King Gilgamesh talking about? She is just an ordinary Chaldean Master, how could she possibly be carrying something like that...

"Wait a moment!"

As if she suddenly remembered something, Fujimaru Ritsuka quickly took out the wallet that she would not be willing to throw away even if the world was ending.

The wallet was empty, with only two or three Yukichi notes and a few coins.

And a piece of scale the size of a girl's palm, emitting a white luster like jade.

"Is this what you mean, King Gilgamesh?"

The orange-haired girl was a little confused, but also a little expectant.

To be honest, when she asked Shirataki for this dragon scale, she didn't actually expect to be able to summon Shirataki when she encountered danger.

——She only regarded this scale as a talisman that could bless her with smooth journey ahead.

It turns out that this scale really does have the effect of a "talisman".

Since parting ways with Shirataki, she had already traveled to five singularities. It was undoubtedly a difficult journey, and she would inevitably encounter various monsters—certainly including the likes of [Wyverns].

But those wyverns didn't dare to attack her because she had this scale - this saved her a lot of trouble!

But, now.

"Cut the nonsense."

"I'm already building a good relationship with him over there!"

"Uruk must now mobilize all the forces it can to prevent the impending catastrophe!"

Gilgamesh explained the situation to the two saviors from the future in a very serious tone.

However, because he spoke so quickly and with such a firm tone, he gave the two girls a sense of security: "Although it may be difficult, as long as you do what I say, you can successfully survive this disaster."

This is also the "kingly way" that belongs exclusively to this heroic king.

If the king named Altria Pendragon was awarded the title of "Knight King" because his figure was worthy of being followed by all the knights in the world; then the style displayed by Gilgamesh was "able to make unruly heroes willing to serve him."

"So, how do I summon that god?"

"Is that all?"

The orange-haired girl sent a distress signal to the scale in a tone that sounded very anxious.

——But the flower magician standing next to her held her chin with her hand, pretending to be deep in thought:

"In fact, I think if you yell to him, 'Dinner is ready! There's tons of barbecue and treasures here,' he might come faster."
