The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

"Did I hear something wrong?"

"..."

"That's not true." Ian shook his head. "Just before you said that, I did say 'thank you,' Siduri. You don't have to say you thought you heard it wrong."

"And I am saying thank you for your words that resonated with me today."

“Really—~”

Siduri looked very playful, then took off her veil, leaned against Ian, and her tone became gentler.

"But I don't think that's something I need to thank you for. It's just what I should do."

"Gilgamesh, have you forgotten? I made a promise, not only to you, but also to me—"

Siduri raised her head and looked at her king.

"I have decided to serve you well for the rest of my life."

"..."

Ian did not reject Siduri's extremely explicit words, but allowed her to get closer to him.

certainly--

This didn't really mean that he was interested in her, but perhaps it was just a "reward" - a reward for her loyalty today.

However, having said that, Ian still said something that he shouldn't have said at this time.

"Siduri."

"I know you understand what you are doing now - I will not stop you from doing what you want to do, even if the person you do it to is me."

"But I hope you can understand that everything has its corresponding consequences and an end that must be borne."

"I can't possibly marry..."

Before Ian could finish his words, Siduri covered his lips.

At this moment, she was already slowly falling in love with the young king in front of her.

"I used to think that I might not be able to give everything for someone, nor would I care so little about what I deserve."

"But now I realize I was wrong - this kind of thing can indeed happen."

As she said this, Siduri's feet slowly left the ground and came to the bed.

Under Ian's gaze, she began to show the charm that matched her beauty.

"so--"

Siduri placed her hands on Ian's shoulders and exhaled slightly.

"I also hope that Gilgamesh, no, I should call you king now."

"King, I also hope you can remember what I said - I hope to dedicate my whole life to you, without any need for any status."

"The king gave all he had to Uruk, so I will give all I have to the king."

"This……"

Siduri has become more outspoken—in every sense of the word.

Her eyes were staring straight at the man in front of her.

"That's my loyalty."

This is a day you are destined to remember.

【You have not only become a king in the true sense, but also a human being in the true sense.】

[However, neither you nor Siduri ever mentioned this matter again.]

[It's as if you never experienced each other's first time that night.]

[In the days when you no longer offer sacrifices to the gods, you have worked hard to govern the country and put more energy into Uruk.]

[And because they no longer needed to continue to offer sacrifices to the gods, Uruk had more available labor, and the people's lives gradually improved.]

【Yes. 】

[The so-called gods are merely the existence that restrains Uruk from moving forward.]

【If you put aside their words, you can have a better tomorrow. 】

[Just when you and Uruk were immersed in this beauty. ]

Little did they know that the wrath of the god named Enkidu was quietly approaching.

910. Enkidu's Appearance/The King of Uruk's Absolute Confidence (4k)

In a forest somewhere outside the city-state of Uruk.

A hunter is hunting——

only……

While riding a horse, he soon noticed that something was wrong with his surroundings.

A lot of dirt—

It is several times more soil than before——

Just by looking at it this way, the hunter wondered if there was some earthquake in the nearby mountains, which caused so much mud to appear.

but……

Mud is not something the hunter himself wants.

All he cared about was the prey that had just escaped from here.

Never mind all that.

The hunter thought so, and then began to follow the bloodstains belonging to the prey nearby.

The hunter's archery skills were very accurate. He was sure that he had just hit the prey and saw it running towards him.

only……

Why can’t I find it?

I was clearly running towards this side, but I couldn't see anything.

Just when the hunter was feeling discouraged, he heard a ticking sound.

That was the sound made when some kind of liquid dripped onto the ground - but at this moment, in addition to that sound, there was also a fishy smell.

correct.

is blood!

Only blood can make this sound like flowing water drops.

Only blood can give off this smell that instantly makes people feel refreshed.

Haha.

found it.

The hunter was ecstatic and rushed directly in the direction of the sound and smell, hoping to find his prey.

only--

The moment he arrived, the scene before him almost frightened him to death, even though he was originally very brave.

The prey that was still alive and kicking not long ago (or perhaps it was before it was hit by the arrow) was now torn into pieces and scattered on the ground.

And that dripping sound is the sound made by water dripping to the ground when its head is hanging high on the tree.

But if this is the case, hunters will not be surprised or afraid - after all, hunting will inevitably involve some bloody scenes.

What really frightened him and made him uneasy was

It was next to the corpse, like a clod of earth, with only a human-like shape.

The blood on its hands was like some kind of silent proof.

Yes.

If I am not mistaken, considering everything, the "clod of earth" in front of me tore my prey apart in some unimaginable way, and for some reason, hung it on the tree next to me, leaving it to bleed.

"..."

Silence, then shock, and finally heart-wrenching madness.

"ah--!!!!!!"

The hunter screamed, then threw down everything that might affect his escape, and ran towards the end of the forest as fast as he could.

His screams echoed through the forest, attracting countless birds.

At that moment, the entire forest was plunged into some unspeakable fear.

only……

What the hunter didn't know was that the "clod of earth" that had just "torn" the prey apart did not catch up with him, but instead looked in the direction of the hunter's escape with a rather complicated look.

It seemed to have something to say, but it said nothing.

It seems that all this is just a rare comedy for it.

The hunter had no idea how the clod looked at him, nor did he know if it had caught up with him.

He only knew that if he didn't leave like this, he would most likely be torn in half, left and right, like the prey.

[This may be the fastest he has ever run in his life, or it may be the last time.]

[The hunter returned to Uruk and died in his home soon after due to excessive fear and panic.]

[However, before he died, he told everyone who came to visit him everything he had seen in the forest in the form of gibberish.]

[Of course, most people wouldn't understand what he meant—what it meant that a rock attacked him and tore his prey into pieces.]

Is this kind of thing really possible?

[However, this kind of talk is naturally what people like to discuss most after work. It spread from one person to ten, from ten to a hundred, and finally reached Siduri's ears.]

[After hearing about this, she thought about it again and again and decided to report it to you.]

Inside the Uruk Palace.

Siduri came to Ian's residence.

However, looking at the closed door in front of her, she became hesitant again.

The reason was simple: she also couldn't believe that such an outrageous thing would happen that a "clod of earth" would kill people and prey.

but--

Such things were spread too widely in Uruk.

If nothing is done, I'm afraid it will cause another big storm in the future.

However, if I say this out loud, he might think I am a person without any insight.

What should I do... ?

Just as Siduri was making her final hesitation, Ian's voice was heard from inside the room.

He seemed to know who was outside the door, and he quickly spoke:

"Siduri, the king commands you to come in."

"Right away, immediately, now."

After urging three times in a row, Siduri knew that she had been discovered.

But she didn't care how the other party discovered her - after all, a wise king didn't need to explain such things.

"I understand."

After answering Ian in this way, Siduri walked into his room.

What she didn't expect was that after opening the door, what she saw was Ian playing with wheat ears.

His expression seemed quite relaxed, in stark contrast to Siduri's own.
