Gollum—

A few bubbles emerged from the sea of life.

Ian began to sense something.

That was Enkidu in front of him, becoming heavier and heavier.

This heaviness is not only a psychological condition, but also a physical one.

Soon, the man's idea was recognized.

Instead of swimming towards the surface of the Sea of Life, the two began to fall in the opposite direction, as if they were about to reach the bottom of the sea.

finally--

With a dull crash, another cluster of bubbles emerged.

Ian held Enkidu in his arms and fell to the bottom of the Sea of Life together.

of course.

In other words, this is actually the plain of Mesopotamia and the territory of the capital of Uruk.

"My dear friend, you are not afraid at all."

Enkidu looked at the man beneath him who did not resist at all and fell into the depths of the sea with him, his eyes full of tenderness.

"It seems... as if you're not worried at all that I'm doing anything bad."

"Could anything be worse than the current situation?"

Ian reached out and stroked Enkidu's cheek.

The earth seems to never age, and Enkidu's skin remains as beautiful as it was in his youth.

The sense of touch transmitted from your fingertips is exactly the same no matter when and where.

"Besides -"

"I believe you. It was like this before, and it is still like this now—"

"..."

Enkidu's expression completely froze at that moment.

"Is that so?"

"Then it seems that I really can't let this trust down."

Having said this, the girl lay on Ian and began to listen to his heartbeat.

And as if he had already anticipated what the man would say next, Enkidu quickly began to "explain" again.

"Listen to the voice of the earth, just like me."

"..."

It is true that this is the sea of life.

But it is also the land of Uruk.

Listening to the voice of the earth, it sounds so incredible——

but.

If it was Enkidu.

Maybe.

No.

It should be said that it is absolutely possible.

She is a creation of God and the core of wisdom.

Ian felt his breathing slow down, and everything around him began to become clear.

pat-

A sound like electric sparks reached Ian's head.

He heard it.

He really heard it.

That cry from the land of Uruk.

"I don't want to be changed—"

"I don't want to change back to my original appearance—"

"I've seen so many sunrises and sunsets, I don't want my memories to be washed away just like that—"

"..."

Hearing this, Ian suddenly realized something.

"Enkidu, this... is your cry, right?"

"..."

Enkidu was stunned at first, then he laughed.

"I can't really hide it from you—"

"Yes."

"This is my voice. I originally belong to the land of Uruk. Therefore, everything I know and understand should belong to the consciousness of this land."

"But……"

"Is my voice really the only one in there?"

"..."

Enkidu's guidance allowed Ian to listen to the voice from the earth again.

And this time, he actually heard a voice other than Enkidu's.

To be precise, it should be the picture.

“Hold on—!”

"Don't let those strange things come into our territory like this!"

"King, I'll be back soon!"

This was the cry of the Uruk soldiers.

"Don't retreat!"

"The King will come back!"

"People at the back, hurry up and bring up the wood!"

"Protect Miss Abigail and Miss Okita Souji!"

This is Siduri's voice.

At this moment, she was standing at the forefront, commanding the few Uruk people with the momentum of a leader.

But neither the soldiers, nor the civilians, nor Siduri herself showed any sign of retreating.

Yes.

There is only one thought in their minds.

That is the firm belief that Ian will come back.

Even if the flood is devastating, nothing will change.

"Enkidu, they need me—"

"You heard it."

"I can rest assured that."

Enkidu smiled faintly, and it was obvious that he was quite satisfied with Ian's answer.

"My dear friend—"

"This land will always choose you, and only you."

"Take it all back... You need to do this."

"..."

Ian was silent, then laughed.

"really."

"If I can't do it, then no one in this world can do it, right?"

"Enkidu, tell me—"

The man's gaze was completely focused on the girl.

he knows--

If she said that, there must be some way to do it.

Believe in her!

However, just as Ian had never truly guessed his thoughts, Enkidu's answer in this situation was still unexpected.

"Then tell me—"

The girl leaned close to the man's ear.

"What kind of feeling is it to enjoy each other in the water?"

"..."

"Enkidu, what are you doing..."

"I'm not kidding." Before Ian could finish his words, Enkidu put his finger on his lips, stopping him from saying anything else.

"Tell me the answer."

"Ian Pendragon."

Just like before, Enkidu seemed to have known long ago that the king he recognized was not Gilgamesh.

So--

For someone like her, there is only one answer she can get.

That is……

An experience right on the sea.

At that moment, two tumbling dolphins appeared in the sea of life.

The dark sea water gradually began to change into the place where the light was.

"Enkidu—"

"I've wanted to ask you a question for a long time."

"What's the problem?"

The girl's face flushed slightly.

That may be the joy that comes from the heart, or it may be the emotion gained after truly becoming a human being.

Looking directly into such eyes, Ian felt that the time around him had become extremely slow.

"Enkidu, did you discover my secret from the beginning?"

"Maybe, maybe not..."

"Maybe it's right, maybe it's not..."

Enkidu tilted his head slightly, which actually made him look a little cute.

"Is that kind of thing really that meaningful to you and me?"

"but--"
