The two of them walked toward the lively barbecue party ahead, and then happily spent the day—that's how it should have been.
A familiar presence came from behind him. The wise king stopped in his tracks, his expression shifting several times before he finally turned around with a resigned look on his face. Behind the chair where he had been sitting, a slender figure in a pure white robe was smiling at him.
"No, Jill, we've already accumulated too much official business. It's time to go back."
Her long green hair danced in the wind, and her beautiful face, with a gentle tone, softly recited to the wise king.

Section 134, Chapter 15: The Temptation of Overtime
Enkidu.
Gilgamesh is one of the two transcendent beings of the Kingdom of Uruk, and also one of the most powerful transcendent beings in the world who have survived from the distant age of gods to the present day.
Legend has it that she was not human, but a doll created by the gods to punish the human king who dared to defy the will of the gods. However, she was eventually impressed by the king's magnanimity and strength, and the two became true friends.
Legend has it that she had no gender, merely mimicking the appearance of a human, and ultimately chose the female gender for an unknown purpose. This led to numerous tales about Enkidu and Gilgamesh, which the wise king who protected the human world greatly tolerated, resulting in many legendary stories about the two, some true and some false.
Legend has it that Enkidu was forged from the power of the earth, existing in harmony with nature. Therefore, she deeply loves all living beings, is kind, pure, and untainted by worldly concerns, and possesses a strong thirst for knowledge—a personality perfectly suited to be a friend. Due to her beautiful appearance and gentle nature, she has many admirers and supporters, and she always treats them with sincerity, showing equal affection as a friend.
In conclusion, thanks to numerous legends and later stories, Enkidu, a rare gentle and kind person among the Transcendent, enjoys unparalleled popularity in the world. He is loved, worshipped, and even regarded as a faith in the lives of many ordinary people and powerful individuals.
And now, at this very moment, before everyone's eyes, this legendary figure appears with a gentle and beautiful smile.
Her beautiful, water-like blue-green eyes gazed intently at him, and her lips, seemingly sparkling, moved slightly. With a smile, she spoke to the king before her with utmost tenderness:
"No, Jill, we've already accumulated too much official business. It's time to go back."
The aloof, golden king, dressed in leopard-print beach shorts, stood silently in place.
"...I never imagined that I, the King, would have a moment where I cannot describe my feelings."
Raising his head, Gilgamesh sighed, his face showing a helpless expression as if he had been betrayed.
“There’s nothing we can do about it,” Enkidu said with a smile. “Hiddeni and her ministers are completely overwhelmed. ‘Please, bring the king back, no matter what.’ They pleaded with me so earnestly, with tears in their eyes. I’m in a difficult position, Gilles.”
"Is this your reason for disturbing my vacation?" The king responded coldly to Enkidu's statement. "Such a reason will not convince me to return. I have no intention of dealing with the problems of the other two idiots. Rather, if it were just a matter concerning Uruk, I wouldn't have given myself a vacation."
"Oh, so that means Jill isn't going to surrender easily."
"Isn't this a matter of course? To expect the king to obey someone else's orders is simply wishful thinking."
An unsettling atmosphere began to build between the two of them.
Are these two planning to fight here?
The members of Group Six, located outside the clash zone between the two, were quite uneasy.
With their top-tier Transcendent-level power, if these two were to unleash their full strength, this beach would have no chance of survival. Emiya Kiritsugu frowned as he looked at the two standing opposite each other, already subconsciously considering how to safely evacuate from the area of destruction that would ensue if their conflict erupted.
"Speaking of which, why would King Gilgamesh say things like 'the other two idiots' or 'if it were just Uruk'?"
Rin, who was standing not far away watching the commotion, nudged Wuming's chest with her elbow and asked curiously.
"It's because of the 'Alliance of the Three Kings' that this guy has to handle the political affairs of three kings all by himself."
Wu Ming stared at the two people standing opposite each other and said in a calm tone.
The Kingdom of Uruk, which has existed since the age of gods, possesses many long-lost divine technologies and powers, and has grown increasingly powerful through its development, is undoubtedly a coveted prize for many forces. While Uruk boasts two of the world's most powerful Transcendent beings, its limited number of Transcendent beings has resulted in shortcomings in its ability to handle many situations.
In this context, Uruk formed an alliance with Egypt, known as the "Land of the Sun," and the Kingdom of Israel, and established the Three Kings Alliance with the King of the Sun and the King of Magic, in order to counter the Free Alliance and the Chinese Alliance, thus becoming the third largest power in the world today.
The three nations, each possessing a powerful transcendent being, unite to compensate for their numerical inferiority, leverage the strength of their individual power, engage in in-depth cooperation, and develop together, thus entering a virtuous cycle.
That's how it should have been...
However, not long after the Three Kings Alliance was formed, the Sun King suddenly disappeared, leaving behind the words, "Golden, I acknowledge your strength, so I'm temporarily entrusting these to you. I'm going out to enjoy myself, hahahahahaha," before vanishing without a trace.
Then, the Magic King, who had always been quite trustworthy, disappeared without a trace while browsing the web during a day of rest. He didn't even put on his clothes, leaving the Demon God Pillar Council looking at each other in bewilderment.
For a long time afterward, Gilgamesh was the only one carrying out the administrative work that should have been done by the three of them.
Of course, even if the three kings didn't interfere, their established systems, developed over a very long period, were sufficient for normal life. However, when it came to international issues, the highest level of transcendent beings had to handle them. Under these circumstances, Gilgamesh, who was taking on the workload of three people, had to endure working non-stop for half a month or even longer, with only a couple of hours or even just a few minutes of rest – a truly miserable situation. Although transcendent beings' physical abilities far surpass those of humans, such a lifestyle was unbearable for anyone in the long run. After enduring this for several years, Gilgamesh, hailed as a wise king, finally reached the breaking point.
The king's resistance was to subdue Sesshouin and then use that as an excuse to stay and sightsee in the local city. Clearly understanding the king's hardships, Uruk finally sent men to capture Gilgamesh after several months, and Enkidu, who was said to possess strength equal to Gilgamesh's, was the one sent.
"Is it really that scary? Aren't the other two kings being far too irresponsible?"
Rin said, somewhat incredulously.
"Who knows?"
Wuming shrugged and didn't continue, but his mind was already pondering the issues at hand.
For such a proud king to willingly work at an intensity that could be described as morbidly exhausting for years, finally snapping when he could no longer endure it, the whereabouts of those two kings must have some hidden story. However, that level of power struggle is beyond Wuming's current capabilities. Besides, he has no intention of getting involved in such matters. Now that he has lost all constraints, he only wants to live the life he desires.
whoosh-
At that moment, the two people who had been standing still vanished in an instant.
Hands-on!
The thought had barely crossed their minds when a loud explosion rang out in the air, followed by the faint echoes of countless violent collisions. Then, a sudden gust of wind swept up countless grains of sand, obscuring everyone's vision.
The realm of concealment and perspective —
Using the unique power derived from tide, Li Cheng's eyes glowed with purple light, piercing through the sandstorm and revealing the two Transcendent beings locked in combat.
He stared wide-eyed and saw it clearly.
The endless golden chains bound a large number of weapons that emitted heart-palpitating energy, and the king, wearing leopard-print beach shorts, was tightly bound by those golden chains, wrapped up like a giant dumpling, struggling helplessly inside.
Enkidu sat on the king's body, which was bound by chains, with a slightly mischievous smile on his face.
Then, she paused slightly, turned her head to look in Li Cheng's direction, and found that Li Cheng was looking at her.
"I'm sorry to take Jill away this way, ruining your barbecue party."
Enkidu apologized to Li Cheng earnestly, his voice piercing through the storm and appearing directly in Li Cheng's mind.
"But we really need Jill to go back now, the sooner the better, so we have no other choice but to resort to this. Please forgive us, we are truly sorry."
With an apologetic expression, Enkidu took Gilgamesh into the air and vanished without a trace in an instant.

Section 135, Chapter Sixteen: A Little Incident in the Bathroom
Warm water sprayed from the showerhead and landed on the girls' delicate skin.
"Hoo—ah—"
Ilya let out a comfortable cry and couldn't help but bury her head completely under the showerhead, letting the hot water wash over her entire body.
"After swimming all day, a hot shower is definitely the only way to feel comfortable!"
She murmured a sigh, but then a hint of regret appeared on her face.
"But without a bathtub, I can't take a bath, so it still feels a little incomplete."
"Well, it's not a big hotel after all, so it's quite rare to have such a large shower room."
Rin rinsed the foam off her long, black hair, wiped the water droplets around her eyes, and spoke slowly.
"Speaking of which, why does Rin-nee have so many purplish-red marks on her body? Could she have accidentally injured herself while 'exercising'?"
Chloe, standing to the side, stared intently at the patches of purplish-red marks on Rin's body, a very eerie smile on her face.
"Oh my, really, it looks so scary," the innocent Ilya immediately noticed the marks on Rin's body and said with some fear, "Rin-nee, when were you injured?"
Children's voices are naturally high-pitched, and when Ilya spoke, the others in the bathroom immediately noticed what was going on.
"Yes, that's true. It looks pretty bad. Does Rin need some treatment?"
Irisviel approached with great concern. In the steamy shower, her already outstanding figure, covered by the wet droplets, was quite eye-catching. Even Rin, who was not much less stunning, couldn't help but squint at Irisviel's waist, which showed no signs of having given birth to two children.
She's clearly a mother, but why does she look like she's only in her early twenties? And... she's so... old...
Looking at her chest, which, while not small, was just of normal size, Rin felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
"Miss Rin, are you really alright?"
Sera, equally concerned, walked over.
"Ah, ah, this? No problem, no problem, don't worry!"
Realizing she was being stared at with curiosity and concern by many people, Rin quickly waved her hand and said something, her face turning slightly red.
"It's not a wound, it's a hickey."
Just then, on the outside of the crowd, Lyselite, with an expressionless face, carefully observed the purplish-red marks on Rin's body and said with great certainty.
"You're living a good life, Ms. Rin."
Then, she gave a thumbs-up to Rin, who was blushing, and said in an admiring tone.
"Huh? Huh!?"
"Wow, so this is a hickey? I really thought it was a wound."
