Then, Ereshkigal softened his tone for once.

"Well, Ishtar, leave the underworld."

I originally wanted to be the bad guy and forcefully keep Lugalbanda in the underworld.

A smile appeared on Ereshkigal's face.

Now, you don’t have to be the bad guy yourself.

Lugalbanda certainly cannot disobey the orders of the gods, right?

Then, she would take advantage of his loss and distraction and take advantage of the opportunity.

Make Lugalbanda a character that cannot be separated from her…

Thinking of this future, the smile on Ereshkigal's face grew even brighter, and he couldn't help but hum softly.

"Humph, now you know how to smile at me and give in to me?"

Looking at the smile on Ereshkigal's face, Ishtar felt a little lost, not knowing what she was thinking.

But the loss was only for a moment, and she raised her head again and spoke condescendingly.

"Well, since you've given in like this, I, the goddess, will be magnanimous and won't deprive you of your future happiness. As for you..."

Ishtar summoned Tianzhou and glanced at Russell again with a hint of admiration in her eyes.

"This guy's appearance is not bad. There should be other goddesses in the God Realm who like him. Don't worry! Also, if you are willing to call me sister again and return the artifact to me, even if the gods want you to marry this guy, I will help you refuse!"

"..."

Russell and Ishtar looked at each other, and suddenly he spoke in confusion.

"Ishtar, you are not born with good luck but have failed to fulfill the Holy Body, right?"

"What do you mean?"

Ishtar looked confused, and Tianzhou had returned to her side at this time.

Just as she was about to go up, she was stopped by a familiar gun rail.

"I've thought about it, you should stay."

Ereshkigal wore a genial smile, raised his gun, and brought it down.

“It hurts—it hurts—”

Ishtar was hit on the head repeatedly, and she kept wailing.

"What's going on here?! I get it, I get it! No need... no need to call me sister... You don't have to return the artifact, the artifact!"

At first, Ishtar was submissive and acquiescent.

But then, the beating inflamed her again, and she cursed and swore, "You're so ungrateful! Ereshkigal, just wait! Even if you kneel down and beg me this time, I'll make you marry Lugalbanda!"

"You can go now."

Ereshkigal stopped and looked at the goddess sister with disdain.

Is it cheap?

He has to be beaten before he obeys.

However, for some reason, after giving Ishtar a real lesson, he suddenly felt much better.

Ereshkigal felt that her divine power was no longer so dark, and the cheerful feeling in her heart made her look sunny for the first time in a long time.

Cool!

Russell, who was watching from the sidelines, could also understand this feeling.

After all, only those who try it know what it feels like to be a female ghost in gauze.

Ishtar stood up tentatively, and when Ereshkigal stopped moving, she said cautiously, "Can I really leave?"

"Don't wait for me to change my mind."

Ereshkigal said coldly.

Her hands are still a little itchy now and she wants to do it a few more times.

This feeling really made her happy.

Upon hearing this, Ishtar steered the sky boat Maana with the fastest movement in her life and rushed towards the sky of the underworld.

He didn't even dare to say anything harsh. His divine power was burning at its maximum limit, controlled at a consumption that could not be sustained for a long time, causing Tianzhou Ma Anna to wail.

There was only one thought in her mind -

Ereshkigal, just wait for me!

......

"I'm truly sorry for getting you involved between me and Ishtar."

At this moment, Ereshkigal looked at Russell, no longer with a gloomy look, and behaved more like a caring older sister, apologetically.

"First, you were cast into the underworld by Ishtar, then misunderstood by me, and now you are threatened by Ishtar again. I'm afraid you still have to endure the orders of the gods."

hallucinations.

Russell knew that the gentle Ereshkigal before him was just an illusion.

This was because he knew that the gods would certainly force him at Ishtar's request.

So, I wanted to take advantage of the situation and...

Hmm? You ask why Russell is so clear about this and so proficient in it?

Mainly this kind of operation, he plays it...well, he's seen it a lot!

But Russell didn't mind performing with Ereshkigal. After all, he didn't dislike Ereshkigal that much.

He cooperated very well, a look of sadness appeared on his face at the right time, and he said worriedly.

"If that's the case, I wonder if the people of Uruk will be implicated. No, I have to go back and take a look!"

"and many more!"

Ereshkigal took Russell's hand.

"Listen to me, you're actually safe in the underworld. I won't harm you! You have a special identity, and once you get out there, you don't know how the gods will persecute you!"

Aren't you going to force me here?

Russell remained calm, his tone growing heavier, his expression growing more worried.

"That's why I need to return. Ishtar's words aren't entirely clear, but I can guess that I'm involved in some important plan of the gods."

"If I stay in the underworld, then the gods might take some action against Uruk, the underworld, or even you."

Russell's words made sense, and Ereshkigal also fell into thought.

Among them, she also realized the determination of the young man in front of her.

If I insist on keeping the boy in the underworld, then I will inevitably become a bad person.

There was already an image of the gods acting as villains, and this approach might lose Russell's heart, so Ereshkigal felt a surge of resistance.

So, she was silent for a moment and hesitated.

"Then, you can go up there for a few days? But, come back as soon as possible."

Ereshkigal was still worried and warned him seriously.

"As soon as possible! You're safe in the underworld, and I'm the only one who won't harm you. The gods' plans are unclear, and the only one you can trust is me."

What a classic and simple way of speaking.

Russell was momentarily distracted.

33. You are finished. The Queen is the most petty.

It's really a classic line of speech that makes people feel dazed.

Has this kind of rhetoric been used in ancient Sumer?

The corners of Russell's mouth twitched and he sighed in his heart.

Ereshkigal, however, did not notice Russell's mood. He just took Russell's hand and prepared to walk out of the palace.

"There are many evil spirits in the underworld. Although you are born under the protection of the underworld, and... and I protect you, there might be someone so foolish as to hurt you."

"Let me stay with you. You'll be safe with me."

Again!

Russell, whose hand was being held, felt a little helpless.

Although, he knew in advance that Ereshkigal had such a personality.

——Dark and loveless.

With this kind of personality, it's easy to increase favorability by just playing it straight.

However, after the favorability reaches a certain level, the "Heavy Girl" plot will be automatically unlocked.

Heavy emotions can be unbearable.

I want to keep my loved one by my side forever and be with him/her all the time. I will go crazy if they are separated for just a moment.

They want to pry into the privacy of their loved ones and will be nervous about any movement.

When she needs to interact with others, she will overthink things if she is not brought along, but she has a dark personality and does not want to interact with others.

So, I thought about preventing my beloved from having any contact with anyone other than her.

Russell would not develop negative feelings towards Ereshkigal because of these possibilities.

He was able to make such rapid progress because of his "intelligence advantage".

If, after building up enough favorability, one is unwilling to maintain the relationship and even develops resentment towards Ereshkigal, then he is truly a scum among scum.

You have to take responsibility.

Russell looked thoughtfully at Ereshkigal clasping his hands.

He looked outside the palace again, and suddenly seemed to have thought of a topic, and asked curiously.

"Come to think of it, are those two Garula spirits carrying us again this time?"

"Yes."

Ereshkigal felt a little embarrassed after talking about this.

Last time, the Garula spirit that Russell was riding wanted to convey some information that was unfavorable to her on the road.

Afterwards, Ereshkigal canceled the Galula spirit's vacation for the next hundred years and sent it to do the hardest work - making gun sills on an assembly line without interruption or rest.

In this case......

Ereshkigal thought with a guilty conscience.

Wouldn't this make Lugalbanda think that he is petty?

It seems possible.

Or, how about finding a random excuse to pardon them later?

Ereshkigal pondered this.

Russell could already see the two Garula spirits in the distance working together to create a spear trap.

However, the familiar yet unfamiliar scene before him made him look a little strange.

This is......

The oldest assembly line?

There is also a Garula Spirit that is even bigger than the one he rides, constantly patrolling. Could it be the most ancient assembly line supervisor?

Russell couldn't help but sigh as he watched the Garula spirits numbly repeat the movements of making the gun rails.

Ereshkigal also seemed to find this scene unpleasant.

"This is all the result of the great flood caused by the god Enlil. The Garula spirit and I have been working hard since then, but to this day we still haven't been able to complete this task. Ordinary souls, for example, are incapable of crafting a spear trap. Only Garula spirits, who grew up in the underworld, have the ability to do so."
