I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

In the teacup placed before the Holy Emperor, the tea stalks floated up, swaying helplessly.

Chu Xingliu stared at the Holy Emperor in shock.

"Your Majesty, let me confirm something. In six days, the megalith will collapse, and Gastrea will invade in large numbers. Will the Tokyo area be infected, break out, and be destroyed?"

"If no countermeasures are taken, that will be the case."

Jill stared blankly at the bleached photograph of the megalith spread out on the glass table, and the horrifying Gastrea head photograph that made it hard to look away.

"Yesterday's news said that the Gastrea near the monolith was quickly driven away. I guess the media already knew the truth and were willing to help. It's really amazing freedom of the press."

"after all……"

"Don't use the Tokyo area as an excuse to talk to me. You know, if it weren't for the children, I would have destroyed the Tokyo area long ago." Jill sneered, and golden ripples appeared around her.

"..." Kikunojo Tendo, standing behind the Holy Emperor, opened his eyes. "Can you really watch all the innocent people in this region die?!"

“Can’t I?” Jill sneered. “As the hero who defeated Scorpio, I know that I am just seen as a lucky kid who wields the Holy Sword.”

"Idiot!" Jill roared. "The Holy Sword isn't something just anyone can use!!"

Kikunojo Tendo closed his eyes again.

"In any case, in a few days we will be able to see the bleaching of the megalith from a distance. Now, under Aldebaran's command, a large number of Gastrea have gathered outside the megalith. It is predicted that there will eventually be two thousand."

"Two thousand?" Jill paused for a moment, then laughed dismissively. "That's all there is to it."

"But their leader is—"

“Aldebaran is nothing.” Gil smirked. “My Holy Sword can wipe out that entire Gastrea horde.”

"Then..." The Holy Emperor revealed a look of surprise.

"Why would I do this? A bunch of idiots who won't even protect their own children. What did those children do wrong? Did they get to choose to be born into this world?! The problem isn't the children, nor the world, but the twisted hearts of people in this world!"

“Holy Emperor, I told you before—believe it or not, if this place ever faces peril, in order to survive, those people will transform into the fiercest beasts, attacking us, the Homra! If survival requires the sacrifice of some, they will surely abandon us, the Homra, forgetting the fact that the Homra police and children once protected them, and abandoning us!” Jill coldly uttered these words. “You came here this time simply to ask for our Homra’s help?”

“This time, Your Majesty, please don’t include the Cursed Children in your list of refugees.” Gil picked up a document and threw it in front of the Holy Emperor. “Does Your Majesty know that we at Homra are not simply an organization that shelters the Cursed Children? We have all kinds of talents here.”

“Of course, our police officers here are very strong. Take this list. As long as you repeat what you just said, those officers who are willing to go with you can be taken away as combat troops,” Jill said.

"Huh?!" Both the Holy Emperor and Kikunojo Tendou showed expressions of surprise.

“Hmph, while I’m unwilling to provide support, as the Red King of Homra, I still care about my subordinates. As long as they’re willing to go with you, I naturally have no objection to their role as a so-called auxiliary police force.” Gilles sat back on the sofa. “However, if my subordinates suffer any unfair treatment, any injustice…”

Gil's eyes flashed with murderous intent. "I wouldn't mind destroying all the megaliths protecting the D-Kyoto region. You know, anything is possible in front of the Holy Sword."

Gil's words made the Holy Emperor frown. "Is it really worth doing this just for your subordinates?! To let innocent people be sacrificed as your men's casualties?"

“Your Majesty, I don’t mind telling you—our Homra tradition is to protect our own!” Gil stood up and slammed his hand on the table. “I don’t mind telling you that in my eyes, those so-called innocent people of the D-Kyoto region are not as important as my subordinates!”

“In the king’s eyes, only the king’s country and his subjects are worthy of the king’s protection!” Gil said.

"...I cannot agree," the Holy Emperor said, closing his eyes.

"Coincidentally, I can't agree with some of your ideas either." Jill curled her lip. "My power is not for protecting a bunch of people who are not worth protecting."

“Those scumbags in the D-Kyoto region? Sorry, I’m really curious if I didn’t just chop them to pieces with my sword several times because I’m too good-natured.” Jill took Excalibur from the golden ripples beside her and stuck it into the floor.

“This Holy Sword…” Jill looked at the sword before her, “was not created to protect those who are unworthy of its protection.”

"Do you only see people who deserve protection and those who don't?!" the Holy Emperor questioned.

“Isn’t that right?” Jill snorted and stood up. “That’s enough for today. Xingliu, take the Holy Emperor and that old bastard from the Tiantong family to find those people. I’m going back.”

Gil turned around and said, "I'm not like Rentaro Satomi. I won't sacrifice myself for some so-called righteous cause..."

"The only person who can make the king sacrifice himself is the king's closest friend."

P.S.: Friendly trade between friends

I, the Magician, the King of Slacking Off!

It's about the daily life of the "King of Slacking Off," and it's quite interesting to read. It's also short, and the author is new, so you might want to check it out.

Chapter 118 The Fury Was Successfully Ignited

Jill didn't linger and went straight to the hospital in Homra.

When Jill recruited doctors and nurses, she promised high pay and met high requirements.

After all, this really requires some effort, of course...

"Hmm? Hmm... Okay." Gil nodded after listening to the doctor's explanation. "Let's transfer the money to Rentaro's account..."

Since his doctor didn't know how to perform this kind of surgery, he helped Rentaro take Kisara to a hospital in the city.

Of course, Jill calculated the time for her anesthesia (physical)... well, enough to finish the surgery.

Jill stopped thinking about those random things and simply silently used the omniscient and omnipotent star to foresee the fragments of the world.

“…” Jill opened her eyes after a moment.

“…There?” Jill clicked her tongue. “What a nuisance.”

Jill looked at the cloth bag she was carrying.

The bag contained the Spirit Blade Cherry Blossom and the Imitation Spirit Blade Ice Bloom.

“…” Jill fell silent.

This world is far too dark.

I wonder how many people will go with Homra this time?

How many of them will come back alive?

Gil sighed. If Rentaro were here, he would definitely go, even knowing he would die... he would still go.

But what do the police officers gain by protecting this area?

The surviving police officers will at most see an increase in their IP ranking and a decent reward.

But all of this was earned at the cost of their lives.

Jill arrived at her training ground, opened her bag, and inside lay two knives, lying there quietly.

"..." Jill silently gripped the knife and began training herself.

But the unease in my heart... grew more and more intense.

……

Over the next day, white spots were discovered on the megalith.

The news that the megalith would collapse was announced.

The Holy Emperor announced that 30 percent of the population should be evacuated into large bunkers.

However, this 30% quota includes the cursed children within Homra.

And so, the people of the D-Kyoto region erupted.

"Get out, you cursed child!"

"Monsters should all die!"

Such calls continue to resound in the D-Kyoto area.

……

Jill looked at the list of personnel to be deployed in her office.

"More than 60%? It doesn't matter, as long as they're willing to fight." Jill sighed. "Honestly... I hope you guys come back soon..."

At this moment, Jill's Omniscient Star showed Jill a picture.

Jill's face darkened.

"Starflow, increase patrols. All the remaining police officers, don't rest. Arrest anyone who gets close to Homra," Jill ordered directly.

"Troublemakers? Arrest as many as you can, arrest them all!" Jill gave the order directly.

……

There are two days and sixteen hours left until the predicted time of the monolith's collapse.

……

It was already morning.

Jill led by example, taking the lead in patrolling.

Jill has captured several guys from the D-Kyo area near Homra today and found bombs on them!

Many others were also apprehended in other places.

However, there are likely still some who slipped through the net.

Jill ordered his men to tie all the men up.

They were tied tightly together.

In the open area of ​​Homra, other police officers also arrested quite a few people.

At this moment, no one was sleepy.

"Boss, there are still fifteen left!"

"I understand." Tina and Xia Shi, who were with Jill, as well as Chu Xingliu and Hijikata Makoto behind her, all had ugly expressions.

"This must be a lie..." Tina looked at the large pile of wrapped things in front of her.

“…What a joke…” Xia Shiye said in a low voice.

“Boss…” Tu Fangcheng and Chu Xingliu frowned deeply.

Kushina Yoru was not present, so he voluntarily joined the so-called "police auxiliary force".

Homra never starts trouble, but she is also never afraid to start trouble.

It was eight o'clock in the morning.

Jill glanced at her watch. "Tufang, how many bombs are there?"

"...Boss, it is..." Hijikata Makoto frowned and said in an incredulous tone, "Eight hundred and twenty-six."
