only……

Looking at the man made of mud in front of him, Ian took a breath.

At this moment, he could finally confirm something that he had suspected when they first met.

That is...

"Hey--"

"Enkidu, you don't understand what you are doing, do you?"

"..."

This is not groundless speculation.

[In fact, you have already had this thought since you heard the message left by the hunter before his death.]

The reason is very simple.

If that hunter really encountered a being capable of brutally killing prey, given that kind of muscle-tearing strength, there would be no chance of him escaping.

【certainly. 】

[You don't think he would tell any lies after dying from panic.]

Then there is only one possibility - the scene of "torturing prey" he witnessed was completely incomprehensible to Enkidu.

This "clod" may not even understand what it is doing.

[This feeling is solidified the moment you see the other person.]

【after all--】

Although Enkidu keeps saying he wants to kill you, what he actually does is not such a clear-cut method.

[And the way he dodged just now, and the way he didn't react at all after being punched by you, is a powerful proof of this.]

【Yes. 】

[Enkidu, perhaps you have no idea what you are doing.]

"..."

"What am I doing?"

Enkidu repeated Ian's words, turned back into human form, looked at Ian who was pressing him down, and talked to himself.

"I'm killing you."

“Isn’t that what I’m doing?”

"Then why did you want to kill me——"

"Who asked you to kill this king—"

"Enkidu, you don't even know these things, do you?"

"..."

Enkidu remained silent.

Obviously, although there was no direct answer or any strong evidence, just from this reaction, Ian knew that his guess was almost right.

Enkidu really didn't know what he was doing, but he just had the thought of "killing" in his mind.

However, Enqi didn't know it, but Ian knew it very well in his heart.

"Those gods, right?"

"Did those gods ask you to assassinate me?"

"God...?"

Enkidu, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke again.

However, it only exists in human form and has no good way to express its emotions. Even its speech seems to be somewhat emotionless.

"what is that……?"

"Just a group of people who want to get something for nothing—"

Ian said this, then slowly stood up, returned to the place where he threw the sword, picked it up, and pointed it at the sky above his head.

"But this king will never let them get what they want."

"..."

Enkidu also got up.

Just as Ian had guessed before, he really didn't have a sufficient understanding of many things in this world - even pain was no exception.

Enkidu just looked at the man in front of him and then asked back.

"That……"

"What is this behavior called?"

"I don't understand."

"..."

"Resistance." Ian did not refuse to answer Enkidu's question. Instead, he explained in a much gentler tone than before.

He could feel that Enkidu in front of him might not be his enemy.

“Resistance…?”

Enkidu stood up little by little.

"what does that mean?"

"It means refusing to do something you don't want to do, just like I'm unwilling to offer food or something else as a sacrifice to the gods."

"..."

"Refuse to do something I don't want to do...?" Enkidu repeated Ian's words, looking like he was learning.

"What is something I don't want to do?"

"I do not know."

"..."

Realizing that Enkidu's cognition might be stranger than he had imagined - or rather, Enkidu had no cognition at all.

Ian was about to explain, but at this moment some unexpected changes occurred.

Boom——

There were three thunderclaps in succession.

It started raining in the forest where Enkidu was.

Tick tock.

The rain gathered at Ian's feet, forming a small stream.

But the man didn't care about these things at the moment.

Because he saw an unexpected scene——

Enkidu, who had just been asking himself many questions and hoping to get answers, actually started to act again.

He looked towards the place where the thunder was the loudest, and then, as if sensing something, he began to walk towards that direction step by step.

The rain fell on Enkidu's shoulders, slid down, and finally flowed back to the ground with some mud.

In the white lightning, Ian saw the existence that might be the one Enkidu wanted to meet.

That's another "beast".

It looks a bit like a lion, but it has several more tails than an ordinary lion.

Like Enkidu, it appears to be composed of stone and mud.

"..."

Looking at Enkidu walking towards that direction step by step, Ian hesitated for a moment.

"Hello--!"

"Enkidu, if you have the chance, please come to my Uruk once."

"I want to see your true strength, not this ignorant look."

"..."

Enkidu stopped.

Then he turned around and said nothing, just nodded at Ian.

And then--

Then it disappeared in the thunder and rain.

912. Siduri's Bathing Service/Observation and Reflection on Enkidu (4k)

[You don't know whether Enkidu's reaction is considered as a promise to you.]

【But now that things have come to this, you know that there is no point in considering it any further.】

You returned to Uruk in the pouring rain.

People who see you on the street look a little surprised—after all, this is the first time they see you with your adverb.

Only Siduri thought of something else.

【she--】

【We have prepared hot water for you to use for bathing. 】

Inside the Uruk Palace.

Ian sat in the magnificent bathtub and began to sigh.

"Sure enough, compared to the cold rain, something warm like this is more likely to move people."

"In that case, what are you doing out there?"

Siduri's voice came from not far away.

I saw that she had changed into a more light-weight set of clothes without knowing when, and it was obvious that she was planning to come and serve Ian.

“Obviously——”

"There can't be hot rain outside, can there?"

"king--"

"Can you tell me what you did?"

"..."

Faced with Siduri's question, Ian's reaction showed obvious hesitation.

This also made the assistant officer understand his attitude, and she quickly changed her words:

"I understand."

"If that's the case... then please pretend I never said that."

"I am going to meet the legendary 'clod'."

Just when Siduri was about to stop talking, she suddenly heard these words.

"'Club'...?"
