I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

"Looks like everyone's here." Jill looked at everyone inside. "Great."

"Little Black? Bajiet? You're here too, that's great~" So Ilya hugged Little Black, her face full of happiness.

"I...Illya!" Kuro quickly pushed Illya away. "Don't do this, everyone's watching..."

"Stop fooling around, now... um? He is..." Gil saw someone he recognized, "Emiya Shirou?"

"Does Brother Jill know Brother?"

Ilya, Kuro, and Miyu asked in unison.

“I know you. We met during the Holy Grail War, or maybe we were allies.” Gilles stepped forward and extended his hand. “But… judging from your appearance… you seem to have been seriously injured and tortured.”

"Torture...?" Miyu's expression became very flustered.

“…No…torture isn’t right, the condition of his magic circuits is terrible…” Gilles smiled helplessly, “He overused some kind of powerful magic, like, Reality Marble—”

“The Class Card he used should be the same Class Card inside Xiao Hei.” Jill pointed at Xiao Hei, whose eyes widened. “Then…”

“However, that’s no ordinary Heroic Spirit.” Gilles smiled wryly. “That’s someone who can fight me to a standstill when I’m not serious, and can even cut off one of my arms.”

"But let's put that aside for now. The real trouble is with Eindsworth..."

"Ah...it is indeed very troublesome..." A somewhat weak voice sounded, and Shirou Emiya, who was lying down, had already opened his eyes.

“Brother…” Miyu suddenly threw herself into Shirou Emiya’s arms.

"I'm sorry, Miyu, I made you worry," Shirou Emiya said with an apologetic smile.

A tuft of his hair had turned white, and part of his skin had turned black.

“You’ve overused the power of your Class Cards,” Gil said.

“Ah… I’ve been found out… But your appearance and tone… I feel like I’ve seen you before…” Shirou Emiya said, looking at Gilgamesh.

(Of course, when you were unconscious, you seemed to have taken some of the aftereffects of both my and Angelica's EA attacks... It's a miracle you didn't die.)

Jill sighed, "That Angelica uses my power, how could you not be familiar with it?"

"!" Shirou Emiya stared at Gilles, "A Heroic Spirit...?"

"Enough with the chit-chat, your sister has something to say to you..." Gil looked at Shirou Emiya, "Talk to your sister, I'm going out now. Miyu is worried about you... Also, drink this later, it'll at least ease the pain a bit."

Gilles tossed the bottle into Shirou Emiya's arms, then turned and walked out the door.

"What exactly is the Eindsworth family's purpose?" Gil took out his phone. "Hello, Kirei Kotomine? Yes, I want to order takeout. Send over a few bowls of ramen, soy sauce ramen will do. Don't worry, I'll make up the difference if I don't have enough money. Also, please make sure it's not spicy, thank you."

"Should I ask Emiya? Maybe he doesn't know either? Oh well, it's that time of year again..."

So Gilles closed his eyes, freeing the all-knowing and all-powerful star to go and see the Einzworth family and the purpose of the Holy Grail War.

……

"So that's how it is... the so-called salvation of the world... is that it?"

Jill picked up the chalk and started doodling on the classroom blackboard.

The so-called salvation of the world... the "Great Source" of this world has begun to decline, and in many places, unobservable substances have appeared, replacing the "Great Source"...

The so-called magic that living organisms can generate themselves is the "small source," while the magic that fills this planet is the so-called "large source."

Magicians possess nerves that can convert life force into magic power, known as magic circuits. Magic power is generated by transforming life force using magic circuits.

However, a magician can only generate a very limited amount of magic power with his own life force. Therefore, the magic power in the air is extracted, which is the principle behind how magicians use magic.

However, as the Great Source begins to decline, magicians will be unable to use magic, and their magical power will gradually dissipate over time—

Magicians, or rather the magic world, will cease to exist.

Chapter 222 Eindsworth – The Attack!

Gilles figured out Eindsworth's purpose, which was to replenish the Great Source.

The Great Source is something like the life force in nature; if this force is constantly declining...

"Ha, this is a tricky situation. Even with my collection, it's difficult to replenish the Great Source..." Jill put down the chalk, and several clues were already written on the blackboard.

"Great Source", "Redemption", "Holy Grail"

"Einzworth will never be content without Miyu, who is the Holy Grail... So, it's time to begin some important work..."

Golden light shimmered, and Jill's clothes transformed into white robes and a white hat. He carried the slab of mud and stone and stepped outside—

Although the project is quite large, he can turn several floors of this school into his own magic workshop!

only……

"I don't know if there's enough time... I'll just turn this whole floor into my workshop first..."

So Jill started her work.

Thanks to the sheer size of her collection, Jill's setup for her magic workshop was quite simple.

Time just slowly slipped by.

……

After Jill finished setting up the magic workshop, the owner carrying the ramen box also appeared.

"Soy sauce ramen, with a little bit of Mapo Tofu, please enjoy." He brought out bowls of ramen one by one and then said.

"...I remember I ordered a bowl of ramen without chili, right?"

"Excuse me..." Kirei Kotomine slowly removed his headscarf and slapped it on the table. "The ramen is just a garnish!"

"Father Mapo really doesn't try to hide it at all!"

"Of course!"

"Holy crap, he actually admitted it!"

"This is my personal hobby!"

“…Well, never mind, I’ll lose if I take it seriously.” Jill took out a gold coin and flicked it over. “Here, that’s for this meal.”

"Thank you for your patronage."

……

That night.

Jill sat alone on the iron railing of the rooftop, gazing into the distance.

"What's wrong, Jill?"

Enkidu's voice came from behind, and Gil asked, "How are they?"

“Rin Tohsaka and Luvia are taking care of Shirou Emiya, while Miyu, Illya, Kuro, and Bazett are still holding a strategy meeting,” Enkidu said.

They had already finished dinner, and Jill, having nothing else to do, went up to the roof to check on things.

“Hmm.” Jill nodded.

"I feel like... Jill, you're acting a little different today?"

“Oh? It’s different?” Jill smiled. “No… I’m just calming down, otherwise I would easily lose control of myself.”

A wide smile played on his lips. "He couldn't control himself and did things against his will..."

The minor side effects of using my own "future" class card have become apparent.

For normal Servants, this situation is less likely to occur after using their own "future" Class Card.

However, Gilgamesh himself was of extremely high rank.

The oldest hero-king, a hero who is half-human and half-god, at the heart of an epic...

In addition, the period depicted by that class card was Gilgamesh's most powerful era.

Gilgamesh of Archer, the era when he possessed countless treasures.

Of course, they're also the type who won't care about their back when they're fighting.

It advocates pursuing pleasure, but—

Jill thought that was wrong.

Pleasure should also adhere to "humanity".

It's true that people are born to be happy. After all, no matter what you do at work or how hard you try, it's all for your own enjoyment.

Pleasure exists in the human soul; it's not a matter of "having" or "not having," but rather "whether one is aware of" it.

Jill was not resistant to the so-called "pleasure".

But...

Well, let's not talk about it anymore.

Jill is still trying to control her emotions.

You can't just keep messing with other people because you feel pleasure from seeing their miserable state.

The biggest difference between Gilgamesh and Gilgamesh is only that—

That is values, and one's view of life.

Their views are both similar and different.

Enkidu saw Gilles's expression and sighed helplessly, "So... Gilles, are you troubled?"

“You could say that,” Jill said, gazing into the distance. “They—are here!”

In the distance, a huge black cube slowly floated into the air and then remained fixed there.

Immediately afterwards, huge stones destroyed the building and fell to the ground.

The rock was located directly beneath the huge black cube, from which countless streams of black mud continuously gushed forth.

On that rock, there was a black-haired boy with dark circles under his eyes.

Jill grinned, "Oh no..."

"I'm a little too happy." Jill drew the silver dagger from her waist with one hand. "Est... are you awake?"

“Yes, Brother Jill… is always awake.”
