Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today.

"King, we are back!"

"We have successfully completed the mission, not disappointing you."

After several days, Gudafu and his companions returned safely and successfully brought back the goddess Ishtar as planned.

At this moment, Gilgamesh, sitting on the throne, looked at Ishtar who turned her head away from him, and the corners of his mouth rose wildly. Finally, he couldn't help laughing wantonly:

“Hoohahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!”

"Welcome back, you outstanding warriors!"

"And the goddess who shamelessly ran away from home and came back, please explain in detail how you feel about joining my army!"

"Who said I want to join your army?"

Being called out by name, Ishtar could no longer pretend to be a bystander and responded without giving in:

"I signed a contract with Fujimaru Ritsuka as a business partner, the foresighted goddess Ishtar!"

"Just wait and see. Before he becomes a powerful master, whether he dies or is blown to pieces, I will revive him!"

"And then you'll say this -

"Oh, Ishtar is really the goddess of victory. I can't accept this. Fine, I will die now." - Such words! "

"I'm not going to die, stupid goddess!"

"I even opened your dorm to you (Ianna), and you don't even seem to be doing the slightest bit of remorse!"

"Who would reflect on this? Ianna is mine in the first place!"

"You two, please stop here."

Seeing that the quarrel between the two was getting more and more intense, Siduri sighed helplessly and stopped them:

"No matter what the reason is, the city god can descend here. As the person in charge of the sacrifice, there is no higher honor than this."

"[The ranch manager's report on damages] Let's forget about this matter and celebrate the return of the goddess Ishtar."

"... Hum." x2

The two looked at each other, snorted in disgust at each other, and finally stopped arguing tacitly.

Seeing this, Mashu smiled and said:

"Not only King Gilgamesh, but even Miss Ishtar can't stand up to Miss Siduri."

Ishtar explained awkwardly:

"After all, Siduri is the most pious and exemplary priestess in Uruk. So I can't complain..."

"Hey, Fujimaru, Mashu, you're back!"

Just then, a familiar and happy voice was heard from outside the hall. Gudafu and Mashu turned around in surprise, only to see Fujimaru Ritsuka walking towards them with a smile.

"Miss Gudazi!"

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Fujimaru Ritsuka responded with a smile, then looked at Ishtar beside him and greeted her with a smile:

"Lord Ishtar, since we have become a companion, please give me your guidance from now on."

"Your name is Gudako, right? Please give me your guidance."

Ishtar still remembered her, and responded subconsciously, then seemed to remember something, and couldn't help but frowned and said:

"I say, it seems like it was the same when we first met. After all, I am a respected goddess. Aren't you being too casual with me?"

"Have it?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka was a little surprised, then smiled a little embarrassedly:

"I'm sorry, maybe because I saw that you were too friendly, I subconsciously treated you as a friend?"

"Hey, is that so?"

Ishtar was stunned for a moment, then became a little embarrassed and said:

"Well... if that's the case, then there's no problem... just forget what I said before."

"After all, I am Ishtar, the goddess of victory!"

Seeing Ishtar becoming somewhat dizzy, everyone thought to themselves:

I've been completely controlled, goddess.

After easily dealing with Ishtar, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Anna and Merlin and nodded to them.

Except for the night when the monsters launched the general attack, she and Merlin remained in contact at other times. She also kept abreast of the situation of the Chaldean group through Merlin, so she was able to know that they had returned today.

She had already made an appointment with Merlin in her dream about improving the magic on the cloak, and they could start after returning to the Chaldea Embassy.

And today she came here specially, not only to welcome Gudafu and others, but also for another important matter -

Fujimaru Ritsuka came to Gudafu and asked in a low voice:

"How about it?"

Gudafu also replied in a low voice:

"Twenty percent."

"Ah."

Hearing this number, Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded with satisfaction and secretly gave him a thumbs up.

Gilgamesh agreed to give 30% of the minerals in the King's Treasure as a bargaining chip to win over Ishtar.

And this time in the negotiation, based on the advice she gave in advance, Gudafu started the price from 10% and successfully lowered it to 20%!

In other words, the remaining 10% is theirs!

After the two of them divided it equally, only 0.5% was left for her. But even so, 0.5% of the minerals in the [King's Treasure] was an astronomical figure!

Now the small treasury is much more abundant, which is great.

"?"

Mashu on the side looked at the two of them with some confusion, always feeling that the senior and Miss Gudako seemed to be doing something unspeakable.

Come to think of it, when she saw her seniors having intimate contact with other women before, she always felt a little awkward, or uncomfortable.

But when she saw her senior and Miss Gudako together, she felt that there was an inexplicable harmony between them.

——Is it because they are all modern people?

Back to the point.

In addition to recruiting Ishtar, Gudafu and others also successfully brought back the Tablet of Destiny that Gilgamesh was looking for.

In the process, Gudafu accidentally fell into the underworld and unexpectedly met an old man named Jusurad.

Jusurad, in Sumerian legend, is the name of the only human to survive the great flood that wiped out humanity, equivalent to Noah in the Old Testament and Utnapishtim in the Epic of Gilgamesh.

He is a person who witnesses the end of the world and becomes the guardian of the abyss. He can be said to be [the person who sounds the warning of the end of the world], or [the person who witnesses the death of all things].

Whether the other party is really the real person or is using this name impersonatorly is a question worth further investigation.

It's just that they have too few clues and it takes too much effort to guess. Compared to thinking about this problem, they have more important things to deal with right now.

"Now that we have successfully subdued Ishtar, the next step is to officially challenge the [Three Goddesses Alliance]!"

Ignoring Ishtar's cries of "I'm not trying to tame you" and "You bastard Gilgamesh", Gilgamesh said to everyone:

"Although they claim to be the [Three Goddesses Alliance], from what I have observed so far, they do not seem to have any intention of uniting, otherwise Uruk would have been destroyed long ago."

The main force attacking Uruk now is the goddess of warcraft, Medusa, and her army of warcraft;

After occupying the forest area near the city of Ur, Quetzalcoatl, the goddess of the jungle, became quiet and has not expanded again since then, and they know nothing about it;

As for the goddess of the underworld, Ereshkigal, there has been no apparent movement so far.

"In that case, it gives us the opportunity to defeat them one by one. As for the first target——"

Gilgamesh made a decisive statement without any hesitation:

"Ereshkigal!"
