Hundred Nights in the Light [Main Fate]

"...Oh? So, you are dissatisfied with the fact that this king gave Saber favor?"

--Why?No, no, King of Heroes, you seem to have misunderstood something...

I rubbed my forehead with a headache, sat down again in a comfortable position, sorted out my thoughts and said, "No, I'm just giving an example, not..."

"Still denying it? Hmph, Baiye..."

Gilgamesh read my name playfully, then suddenly approached me, put one hand on the armrest of the sofa in a playful manner, and looked down at me: "You have always cleverly attracted the king's attention. A means of strength."

"No, I didn't do anything on purpose...and it's an exaggeration to say it was a means or something?" I suddenly felt that this conversation was a bit bad. Why did it become the current situation?

"What about those flattering words at the beginning, what about your rhetoric? Now that you have aroused my interest, you have started to play other tricks, hehe..." Gilgamesh raised the corners of his mouth evilly, scarlet Sei's eyes seemed to shrink slightly because of excitement, "Did my attention to Saber make you unwilling to be left alone? Do you want to compete for favor?"

"..."

Ah, the King of Heroes' thinking went beyond my thinking for a moment. What kind of words should I use...to refute his impeccable self-centered thinking?

...Well, no, even I don't want to try to make this king give up the proposition of narcissism.

I had a terrible headache. Facing Gilgamesh, who was so close, I could feel the breath blown by this guy... But this should be an illusion, he is just a heroic spirit, and I am just a heroic spirit.

As a Heroic Spirit, let's do what Heroic Spirits do...

I stretched out my spiritual tentacles, climbed up behind me, and carefully wrapped around Gilgamesh's wrist.

This time it wasn't a surprise attack, Gilgamesh also observed it carefully with great interest, and even grabbed the tip of the tentacle with a naive and cruel expression.

"Well……"

Should I tell him that the mental tentacles are theoretically the reproductive organs of us and other Suzaku people?Although these tentacles are beautiful, they are as pure and flawless as flowers, but flowers are also the genitals of plants in theory...you humans...it's really hard to describe.

well!After being human for a long time, my shame and morality have been subtly skewed, so I gradually feel very weird about sticking out the tentacles, and of course I don’t want people to stare at it all the time.

And Gilgamesh not only stared at it, but also arrogantly announced: "Oh, isn't this interesting? Then continue to please me. If this king is satisfied, maybe he will give you this honor and include you in this book. The king's treasury..."

I……

... King of Heroes, do you know what you said!Why do you want to stuff other people's genitals into your treasure house? It's enough!

Alas, the mood is complicated, so don't tell him the truth.

I pulled Gilgamesh into the world of mental imagery again, this time he seemed to be prepared, and stood in front of me with an expression of "miscellaneous repair please please me".

"Last time, where did it go..." I thought about it for a while. The last time we started the duel of will from the Tower of Babel, and then proceeded to the duel between countries and armies, and finally...

"That's right, Gilgamesh, let me take a look at your weaknesses... What kind of person is in that fleeting scene of your nostalgia?"

"That is the only one in heaven and earth, my only 'friend' of Gilgamesh..." Gilgamesh said to me in an unbelievably peaceful tone, "Do you really want to see him that much?"

——Ah, I want to see him very much. What I see from him are your fears and weaknesses, which are completely different from the strength and arrogance on the outside...weakness and helplessness.

"Hmph, okay, let me show you." Gilgamesh folded his arms around his chest, his eyes seemed to penetrate my soul, sharp and scrutinizing—that is the king who absolutely controls everything His scrutiny seems to judge all values.

In a duel of willpower with this man, even if I am observing his weakness, he will also knock on my soul at the same time.

"If I discover your weakness, I will crush you without hesitation..." Gilgamesh had a happy smile on his lips, and the pleasure of destruction in his eyes, "Then submit to me Let me lick your pain and your despair, that taste must be worthy of this king's favorite bar—hahahaha!!"

So, I was able to meet the young king.

The so-called youth does not refer to the immaturity of the flesh | body, but refers to the fact that the mind, knowledge and stamina have not reached the standards of his adulthood... That was Gilgamesh when he was still ruling Uruk.

His mother is a goddess, with two-thirds of the divine blood flowing through his body. He is the "wedge of heaven" used by the gods in the sky to break into the human beings on the earth. Since birth, he has been the absolute ruler of human beings, bearing all the burden The important task of the king.

He was once violent, greedy, ignorant of the sufferings of the people, monopolized the power of all nations, and extorted violently with this, even took all the treasures in the world as his own, and built an unprecedented treasure house.

But he changed because of a man, a beast specially created by the gods in the sky to fight with him, and also the "sky lock" that restrained and corrected the "wedge of heaven" Gilgamesh—his name It's called Enkidu.

"En", in ancient Babylon, means "king"; Enkidu, the name means "half of the king".

The king and Enkidu were comparable in strength, and spent a happy time as equal opponents and friends; under the influence of Enkidu, Gilgamesh became a wise king, no longer arrogant and arrogant, but instead Uruk was ruled into a kingdom of gods on the earth, and it attracted all the people in the world.

Even the goddess Ishtar was overwhelmed by his beauty and wooed him, but was rejected by Gilgamesh...

Unwillingly, the goddess released the bull of heaven, which filled the world with disasters, but was defeated by Gilgamesh and his friend Enkidu; Enkidu, made with his own hands, could not defy them.

Unable to defy the destiny, Enkidu gradually weakened and died.

Gilgamesh cried for seven days and seven nights for his friend's death, and did not allow anyone to bury him. Finally, it was difficult to accept the fact that "mortals are doomed to perish", and embarked on the road of seeking immortality.

"Because it is my 'half body', which is equal to my own strength, and even has a chance to be superior, so Enkidu's death...has dealt a considerable blow to you, Gilgamesh." I stood not far away and looked at him—the king who suddenly realized that he, too, must die as sadly as his friend.

Gilgamesh knelt on the ground holding Enkidu's body in his arms.

At the same time, his voice replied next to my ear: "Ah, that's it. Your ability is really good. It reminds me...these past events that I haven't dreamed of for a long time."

I walked slowly in front of Gilgamesh and knelt down to look at him.

I saw that his blond hair was dull and messy covering his lowered face, his always so arrogant and hideous dark red snake eyes lost their luster, and there was a surge of precious liquid out of them...

"It's really embarrassing, Jill." At this moment, I actually felt a lot of pity for him.

"...What's your expression?" Gilgamesh suddenly raised his head and looked at me with empty eyes that were dripping with tears, "Pity? Sympathy? You want to use the insignificant emotions of the weak To insult this king? I, Gilgamesh, do not need anyone's understanding!"

...Hmm, what a beautiful expression.

I stretched out my hand to gently brush his side face, and the cold tears of the King of Heroes seemed to make my fingertips feel the chill. It was the grief, humiliation, and anger that this glorious king expressed at his weakest moment And... fear.

"'All human suffering is essentially anger at one's own incompetence.'—I once heard a friend say this," I told him softly, "Gilgamesh, you are angry at yourself Are you incompetent? Although you are a king, you cannot give orders to bring your dead friends back to life, but you cannot formulate rules to free yourself from the fate of death..."

"...This is the so-called 'poison of death', and this king also tasted it at this moment." Gilgamesh said coldly, "On the seventh day after Enkidu's death, I have been from him for a long time. In the process of dying, I also experienced a 'death'."

Enkidu... Heh, that's an interesting name indeed.

"My lord, what you see is your own death, and what you fear is only your own death—Enkidu, it's a trick played by the gods with a mirror. He is essentially your other Half of life..." I stared deeply into Gilgamesh's dim red eyes, "You are the life of a god, full of flames, without sorrow or fear, ruling and playing|playing like gods Human beings; but two-thirds of your human life is missing, and when Enkidu came to you, the human king was finally complete..."

It was only when he finally fulfilled his responsibility as the king of "human beings" that he could truly respond to the desires of human beings, know the future that the human kingdom wants, and become a "smart king" in the concept of human beings.

If you want to be a human king, you must first be a thorough human being with human emotions and six desires—because people are afraid, they have good and evil; because people are greedy, they have the motivation to change; the progress of all human civilizations is There is no lack of desire|desire in human nature...

It is precisely because of the arrival of Enkidu that Gilgamesh made up for the missing part of his humanity.

But it was also this humanity that taught him the fear of death, which lingered like a gangrene.

——And the fear of death is precisely the hurdle that we and the Suzaku people will be able to break through once we reach adulthood.

At this moment, I am standing in front of him, looking down at this Gilgamesh who has not yet fully experienced his life: "While asking angrily, while crying helplessly, you are like this... I really feel sorry for you .”
