After crossing, I inherited Uruk

When Urningal rushed to the Witch's House, he saw such a scene.

The head priestess and several other young priestesses fell to the ground, their eyes closed and their expressions peaceful, as if they were falling into a sweet sleep.But Urningal, who had already heard about the situation from the maid, knew that these people had lost their breath and heartbeat.

Before the day when the monsters came, they had already died in the unknown threat deeper.

Whether it is the head priestess who is one of the representatives of Uruk's power, or the other priestesses who followed her to learn, in Urningal's memory, they are obviously the ones who showed a gentle smile the day before, why? but now...

"...Since he is dead, it means that it is irretrievable."

Urningal closed his eyes and opened them again, suppressing the surging emotions to the bottom of his heart, and turned his head to look at the maid who accompanied him.

"In short, let's keep the scene first... Well, what I mean is, after the incident at the tower is over, ask the people from the medical hall to come over and check the corpses of the witches, and remember to notify the king as soon as possible. How to arrange it later is of course to see the meaning of the father. But don't bother him now...it will make the people gathered under the tower feel uneasy."

If the attacks of the monsters are still a visible and resistible threat to Uruk, then the situation like this, which is like being unable to resist in sleep, suddenly loses breath and has no solution for a while, is the most terrifying.

Because he didn't even have the means to resist, which meant that he didn't know when he would lose his life unexpectedly like these witches.

...Of course, this is just the worst scenario Urningal imagined.

If it is some strange poisoning incident, it may not be accurate?Well, this kind of thing can only be further judged after the people from the medical center come.Or is it some kind of magic trick?Although Urningal has been learning magic out of interest since he was a child, he really didn't recognize anything at this time.Are you going to ask Merlin to come over and take a look... But, what if some other deeper mystery is causing it... um... um? !

--Ah, wait.

Urningal suddenly remembered that the chief priestess had applied to Gilgamesh for the summoning ceremony of the city god a few days ago and was rejected.

Urningal turned his head, and his eyes fell on the maid who covered her mouth and couldn't help sobbing softly: "I remember what you said on the road before - because the head priestess kindly gave you a holiday yesterday, so I went back early I went home, but the next day I didn’t see her and the other priestesses at the assembly, so I wanted to remind them at the priestess’ house, and I saw this scene?”

After all, it is related to the head priestess, one of the power representatives in Uruk. Urningal's face became serious, and his red pupils were fixed on the maid, making people subconsciously ignore his immature face, only feeling Sudden pressure.

"Ah... yes, yes!" The maid subconsciously nodded in response.

"..."

After getting an affirmative answer, Urningal fell silent again, and spoke slowly after a long time.

"...The gathering should be coming to an end soon. You should go to the tower first, and immediately inform your father after it is over. If there is anyone or anything else standing in your way, take my token."

After the maid took the token and left the witch's house, Urningal sighed softly.

"……trouble."

The boy with blond hair and red eyes lowered his head slightly, muttering softly.

No way?It can't really be... what he thinks.But if this is the case, it seems to be unexpectedly explainable.

What if the head priestess didn't give up after being rejected by Gilgamesh for summoning the city god?

After all, compared to King Gilgamesh, the Priestess House itself values ​​the existence of gods more.So the priestess sent some people away last night to prevent them from discovering that he and other priestesses who supported the summoning had summoned the city god against the king's will, but instead, he ushered in death because of this summoning ceremony.

In that case, did the summoning fail?Or...they summoned something that shouldn't be summoned?

——Ah, so, if you obeyed your father's instructions from the beginning and stopped engaging in such idiots, how could you end up in the current situation?

...However, their original intention is to help Uruk get through this crisis.

Urningal looked at the person in charge of the hospital who came soon after in silence, feeling complicated. Even he couldn't tell whether he was sad or angry, or tired because of powerlessness.

But this is the reality, and I feel like nothing can stop me.

But, no.

Others in Uruk have not given up yet, so what right does he have to give up on himself.

After listening to the head of the medical hall inspecting the corpses of the witches and making a report that "there is no trauma, and the death was not caused by poisoning or disease", Urningal gave a few more words. , left the Witch House, and walked on the way to the tower.

On the surface, the blond boy looked expressionless as usual, but in fact his thoughts had already drifted away.

It's okay to keep doing nothing but meaningless sadness like this.Afterwards, try to apply to your father to go to the north wall... It's too bad that the soldiers must risk their lives under the premise that they have the ability to fight against monsters.

Even if it is really scary...but it is not insurmountable.What's more, who wouldn't be afraid.Even King Gilgamesh embarked on a journey to find the herb of immortality after losing his best friend.How could the current citizens of Uruk not be afraid of this disaster that had been announced by the king.

——It’s just that they are still working hard to survive.

So, I have to overcome my fear and fight with them.

……

…………?

Urningal, who was still secretly making up his mind in his heart, was suddenly taken aback.

The body suddenly issued an alarm to himself. Urningal, who was still wandering in the sky, raised his head following the guidance of instinct, and saw something moving far away in his direction accompanied by a high-decibel sharp sound. Ming is falling at high speed.

"Get out of the way ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Getting closer, getting closer, getting closer... I want, I want to come! !

At such a critical juncture, although the brain was confused because of this sudden change, the instinct of the body still made Urningal act.He leaped back from the spot a second before the mysterious creature hit him, avoiding the fate of being almost used as a mat.

boom! ! ! ! ! !

Urningal's eyes widened, watching helplessly as the mysterious object slammed into the ground from a high altitude, made a loud noise, and made a big hole on the ground, stirring up a cloud of smoke and dust.

...It's very similar to the way he fell from the sky after being beaten by that [Enkidu].

Unexpectedly, Urningal was choked by the dust. While coughing, he stretched out his hand to wave away the smoke and dust in front of him, and finally saw the mysterious creature in front of him clearly.

...No, it would be a bit too rude to call her a mysterious creature.It is undoubtedly a strange woman who caused such a big commotion.Judging by her appearance and age, she is still a young, beautiful and elegantly dressed girl.

Although this strange girl who landed in a strange way was rubbing her head and moaning for pain in a low voice, no matter how she looked at it, she was not very smart, but Urningal did not let down her vigilance.

Leaving aside the fact that she fell from such a high place but had nothing to do, the existence of this girl... made Urningal feel something.

——Aura that belongs to the gods.

Urningal himself has the blood and favor of the gods, and is born with a certain ability to discern the gods.And there is no doubt that although it does not look like a god descending, the person in front of him... is indeed a genuine god.

It's unbelievable, obviously, there has been no trace of gods in this world for a long time.At least Urningal has never seen or heard of gods appearing after remembering.

However, there is no doubt that this girl with a godhead is real.

Combined with the attitude of the head priestess who wanted to summon the city god before, and the unexplained death now... can't it?Is this person...

Urningal made a sound tentatively: "Ishtar...?"

"Tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu what are you doing?!"

The girl with black hair and red pupils raised her head while rubbing her head and complaining impatiently, and then met Urningal who was standing directly in front of her.

The girl with black hair and red eyes: "..."

Urningal: "..."

Their eyes met, and the two fell into silence at the same time.

Because of the short distance, Urningal clearly saw how the girl's expression changed from impatient to stupefied to the current shock and pupil earthquake.

"Jin, Jinjinjinjinjin pickup—?! Wait! When did you get so fast! Can you catch up like this?! Are you so vengeful—?! Careful! I just put your god Is there a hole in the tower! It’s not the first time!...Ah, really! Let me explain first! This is the punishment given by the goddess! You have no right to accuse me of anything! And show me some respect, you This guy!"

The girl with long black hair first said a series of words that Ur couldn't understand, and then she flew into the air at a speed that ordinary people couldn't do, as if she suddenly realized something, and returned to her normal standing posture. , and concealedly put his fist on his lips and coughed lightly, as if the appearance of falling to the ground and smashing a big hole before did not exist.

The girl who regained her noble and elegant appearance looked down at Urningar standing on the ground, and was stunned for a while after the smoke completely dispersed and saw his appearance clearly.

"Eh? How did you become like this? Oh——thinking about it, it's been a long time since I saw you like this. Hmm...wait, something seems wrong. Huh...that's how it is, that's it. "

The girl suspected to be Ishtar, the city god of Uruk, put her finger on her chin, stared at Ur for a few seconds, and showed a thoughtful expression.

It's just that not long after finally showing a serious look, this young girl who didn't know what was going on in her mind stretched out her hand to hold her forehead in frustration, and the sense of nobility that had been hard to come by suddenly disappeared.

Urningal: "..."

How should I put it, if this is really the goddess of Venus guarding Uruk, he always feels that something is broken in his heart.

After becoming King Gilgamesh as a comedian, there appeared a city god who seemed to be unreliable no matter how you look at it. Is this Uruk really all right? !

"Woo——Damn it. How could it be like this... It's not good to land somewhere, but this brat saw it... If he tells that annoying Kim Picka later, I will definitely be ridiculed!! Uh, ah, although I've heard of it a long time ago...but is that golden child already this old?!"

The girl with black hair and red pupils first turned her head and muttered with a distorted expression, and then smiled maliciously after thinking of something.

She turned her head to stare at Urningal again, and at the same time, the over-the-top smile that she deliberately made up after thinking about something restrained a bit. — After she seems to have calmed down, she still looks like a goddess.

...Although, Urningal's intuition told him that the person in front of him had bad intentions.

Sure enough, the girl suddenly approached Urningal: "Hey, brat, you offended me as a goddess just now, this is a capital offense."

"However, this goddess is very magnanimous. Well, for the sake of your face, as long as you are willing to call me 'respected, beautiful and noble Goddess Ishtar, the number one in the world', then think It's not impossible for me to forgive you~"

Urningal: "..."

Urningal: "...?"

Ah? ?
