Crown Dead

Bayuqian brought the only dish left on the table to Xianyu, but the latter just waved his hand.

"Although I can't see it, I actually belong to the kind of person who eats very little. I feel full after eating a little."

"Or, you can't eat these things at all?"

"..."

Xian Yu froze for a moment, then shook his head.

"Compared to those, what about Mash and the others? Have they rested yet?"

"—It seems that you really don't have an upset stomach."

Ba Yuqian sighed, and faced Xianyu with a very serious expression.

"It's been two quarters of an hour since you left the dinner table, but you don't seem to have the feeling that this time—"

"No, no, no! I just like to read while going to the toilet! It's that kind of thing, time flies by doing what you like, that's right."

Xian Yu didn't know that he was still in a coma, and explained a lot in order to lie, but it seemed that the other party didn't believe him.

"Master—please allow me to call you that, even if you are not the real Master."

"Master, it may be strange to say that, but you... to some extent, you are the same existence as me."

Seeing that Xian Yu didn't seem to want to sleep, Ba Yuqian opened the porch and walked outside the room.

"The same existence—meaning they all lost their memory, right?"

Xian Yu still tried to divert the topic, but Bayuqian didn't pay any attention to his words.

"Although it is not clear, but if it is true, it seems that we have more in common."

Bayuqian smiled, and then walked on the deserted streets of Uruk.

The hustle and bustle of the daytime seems to be non-existent.Night is a time for rest, and people are doing their best to relax their bodies so that they can face the next day's survival.

"I love the stillness because it makes me feel like I don't exist in this world."

"..."

Xianyu followed Ba Yuqian silently, the whole of Uruk fell into a deep sleep, and the only light was in the center of the hall in the distance. Presumably Gilgamesh was still desperately trying to keep Uruk alive.

"Although I thought I should disappear into this world, but meeting you again, Master, gave me a new idea. If I survived until now because of some kind of miracle, then—— don't use this miracle to be good. Wouldn't it be too wasteful to observe this world?"

Ba Yuqian stopped, turned around and looked at Xianyu.

"Master, like me, you firmly believe that it doesn't matter even if you disappear. Anyway, from the very beginning, you have never been needed by anyone, right?"

——…

Xian Yu didn't respond, because a sentence that he had heard countless times since he was a child resounded in his mind, a sentence composed of voices of different ages and genders: [It would be great if you disappeared]

Chapter 32. Beef—meat—balls!

A good day starts without being woken up by an alarm clock.

Of course, there is no alarm clock in Uruk in the age of mythology, but instead it is "Master, are you up yet? Although I also want you to rest for a while, this is already the limit that can be allowed. "

Ba Yuqian's voice came from outside the door, announcing the end of Xian Yu's not-so-sufficient dormancy.

"Hey woo woo eh emmm hum Lulu—"

While making an unknown sound, Xianyu got up from the bed.

Although Xian Yu is not particularly excited about being able to sleep on a serious bed, his body still honestly wants to lie on the bed for a second longer.

"The bed is indeed one of the great inventions of mankind. I don't know if there is a prototype of the oldest human bed in the glittering Wangcai."

While thinking about messy things in his mind, Xianyu washed himself with plants and tools unique to this era.

"It doesn't matter if you disappear—"

The words Bayuqian said to himself last night came to mind again.

Although I don't want to admit it, I don't know how to refute it.

In the not-so-long life, basically 80% of the time is spent alone.And 80% of these 80% can be said to exist in isolation.

"Forget it, forget it, and think about those useless things again. This is Uruk. If you want to think about the past, it's too confusing, not to mention there are more important things to do."

Xian Yu patted himself on the cheek, adjusted his state and pushed open the door.

"Morning - wow."

After pushing open the door, what Xian Yu saw was similar to last night, but subtly different.

Except for Merlin, the others were sitting in front of the living room just like yesterday. Although they were not noisy, they were eating breakfast lively.

"Good morning, Senior Xianyu."

Mash was the first to say hello, and the address seemed to have changed subtly.

"senior……?"

"Well, Xianyu is already an adult, so it's okay to be called senior... I just hope that senior won't work so hard next time."
