[comprehensive] dear king

The scolding battle in the morning was too exciting, and this is the first time for Kaori to know how poisonous Gilgamesh's mouth can be. Although she just scolded the wayward goddess, Gilgamesh didn't take this to heart at all. On the contrary, he began to think about something again, "How do you put on such an expression?"

"I—" Kaori was a little dejected, "Did I cause trouble for you and Uruk again?" Ishtar couldn't spray Gilgamesh in the scolding battle, and was severely reprimanded by him. After that, she dropped the cruel words of "you will regret it" and ran away without looking back, and the turning point that made the scolding war from mutual damage to unrestrained mutual spraying was precisely her denigration of Kaori as "a lowly maid" This sentence begins.

Gilgamesh looked away from the clay board, stared at Kaori's face for a while, and burst into a burst of laughter, "Hahahahahaha, there are such fools in this world who think they can do it anytime, anywhere. Have you caused any trouble, don’t make me laugh hahahahaha——” He calmed down and said, “Don’t take yourself too seriously, if there is any trouble this time, it will be because of my scolding Because of that useless goddess, you don’t even have the effect of a small weight in it.” He dropped the clay tablet in his hand, stretched out his hand and flicked Kaori’s forehead, “Don’t think about so many stupid things, today Ulu There is a competition with new dishes in the west of Kewai Ring City, so go and see it with me."

"Eh? Do you want to go out?" Kaori rubbed his blushing forehead, and looked at the mountains of documents he hadn't processed yet, "But the documents haven't been... woo..." Before he could finish speaking, he was gagged.

"You foolish fool! Stupid!" Gilgamesh scolded her loudly without hesitation, "My king left his busy work and invited you to watch the scene where the people of Uruk laughed together. Dare to mention the documents to the king!" His face was extremely serious, as if he was very disappointed with Kaori's incomprehensible style, and felt that this was a problem that needed to be corrected immediately.

"Listen well, if Ben Wang asks 'Going with Yu', you should answer 'Yes' loudly! Documents, which have no romantic atmosphere and joyful spirit, should be thrown aside until Ben Wang The king is merciful and I will deal with it when I think about it!" Gilgamesh overwhelmed him with a powerful king's power at this time, "Then, I ask again, 'The new food contest in the west of the outer ring city of Uruk, do you want to compete with me? Do you want me to take a trip together?'"

"Yes—yes!" Xiangori, who was so frightened by Wang Wei that she almost collapsed to the ground, had to close her eyes and answer this guy loudly, but she still couldn't help complaining in her heart: this person is actually just trying to avoid work.

——Even if he just ran away from work, it would be fine, wouldn't someone grab him by the corner of his clothes and force him to finish the job?

"Hmph, this is the correct way to answer." Gilgamesh folded his arms and nodded, "So, hurry up and prepare the chariot for the king to travel!"

"Wow! Yes!" Kaori, who was left with a lot of chores, ran out with her head in her arms.

When the two of them rushed from the palace to the west of the city, the competition had just entered the tasting stage of the finalists, and the arrival of Gilgamesh further encouraged the chefs, whether they were coming to have a meal or the people who came to watch the fun They all boiled up, "It's really an honor, the king is here."

As for why "also" is used——

Well, the answer is obvious, who is it but Enkidu who is stuffed with a lot of food in the crowd and is enjoying the enthusiasm from the simple people?

"My friend, you're here too?" He squeezed out of the crowd with a pottery bowl and walked to Gilgamesh's side, "Do you want to try this? This cheese is very soft." The pottery bowl in his hand The bowl was given to Gilgamesh, and then two figs to Kaori, "This fig is also very sweet, they told me that it tastes better when mixed with cheese."

This guy was already in harmony with the people before Gilgamesh.

Looking at the jam still on the corner of his mouth, Kaori couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Jam is on the corner of his mouth." She took out a handkerchief from her bosom and handed it to Enkidu, who wiped it. face, "Well, thank you."

"But then again, did you eat those...?" Kaori looked at the mountains of pottery bowls and plates behind him, a little surprised that Enkidu, who looked so slender, had such a Bon Appetit.

"Well, because I don't need to eat food, but I don't know why they smiled and stuffed me with something, so I couldn't refuse." Enkidu put his hand on his chin and thought for a while, "This is probably The power of the 'smile' you mentioned, Kaori." Enkidu smiled when he said that.

——Like the spring breeze blowing across the fields, it is gentle and comfortable.

"..." No, it's too cute, this person is too cute, much cuter than Gilgamesh!Kaori covered her mouth and took a step back. The other party was so beautiful beyond her gender that she could confuse everything. This smile was so lethal that it made people feel a little tight in their chests.

"Xiaori?" Enkidu waved his hand in front of her, and the girl came back to her senses, "Ah, by the way, do you have any good stalls to recommend?"

Uruk is a city full of prosperity and laughter, especially after Enkidu came. Gilgamesh always has all kinds of magical ideas that can make people happy, which is also the same as he doesn't like boring things. Personality has a strong relationship, Kaori thought so, this time the competition was his idea.

A land was specially set aside in the west of the city for skilled people, especially chefs with specialty dishes, to compete with each other, and the winner could be rewarded, which also aroused the emotions of the residents of Uruk.

Gilgamesh is a man with extraordinary leadership. No matter what he does, he will become the center of a group of people and people will follow him willingly. This is beyond doubt.

"Master Kaori, do you want to try this?" A resident came up, holding a pottery bowl filled with pastries dotted with dried fruits, which looked like it had just been baked, exuding a sweet aroma.

"Thank you, I'm not an 'adult', you can just call me Kaori." Kaori took a bite of the cake, "It's so sweet." The taste is also very soft, I don't know what is added in it, probably honey Bar?

"How is this possible? Master Xiangori is the king's concubine."

"—No, no, I'm not. I didn't..." Kaori's face turned red because of the word "beloved concubine", and even her ears became hot, "I'm not some beloved concubine, I'm just a maid That's all." She was in a hurry and almost dropped the pottery bowl on the ground, that - what kind of concubine, what kind of misunderstanding is this!

"This idiot." On the other side, Gilgamesh, who accepted everyone's offerings with peace of mind, sighed, "how can there be such a stupid guy."

"But this is also very cute. Jill, you really like her very much." Enkidu walked to Gilgamesh with a fried milk chip in his mouth. He just went shopping around the stalls and got a lot of spoils. "This salted fish is really good, and it's not so salty that it's hard to eat—"

"Don't eat salted fish raw! My friend, what did you eat at the stall!" Gilgamesh frowned.

"Hahaha, it's just a taste, don't be too nervous." Enkidu put the salted fish aside with a smile, "It's really prosperous." The wind blew his clothes, and the lock of the sky Staring at the land and the people on it with both eyes, "Whenever I see this, there will always be something unusual in my heart, so that I don't regret standing with you at all."

"Hmph, isn't this a matter of course?" Wang crossed his arms, and his eyes looked farther away, enough to have a panoramic view of everything.

Of course, the match scene was very lively, especially in the finals, Kaori couldn't help but be impressed by their enthusiasm.

If a country can be full of laughter, and everyone's face is full of longing and ambition for the future, maybe such a country can be called a "land of happiness", right?

"Miss Kaioli! Let's dance together!" When the night fell and the bonfire was lit, children who ran out from nowhere grabbed Kaori's hand from left to right, and danced her to the bonfire. Pulling towards the crowd, the children called Kaori "Kioli-sama" with substandard pronunciation. Although she repeatedly said that she should not be called "Master", she couldn't stop the children's enthusiasm at all.

Gilgamesh sat on the chariot and drank the freshly brewed date palm wine, watched Kaori learn the Uruk dance with clumsy movements surrounded by women, and walked around with them hand in hand. The bonfire circles.

The puppet picked up by him has become more and more human-like—no, maybe he was wrong, she can no longer be said to be like a "human", but she is already a part of human beings.

Laugh, be jealous, envy, get angry, cry like a human being—

"Then," he put down his glass and stood up, "under such a warm atmosphere, let me take the opportunity to make a decision."

The people singing and dancing around the bonfire stopped, and the music also stopped. Enkidu gave Kaori a thumbs up with a spoon in his mouth, as if he knew what this "decision made on the spur of the moment" was.

Gilgamesh raised his finger and pointed at Kaori, who was sweating from being dragged to dance in the crowd, and said, "This king exempts you from being a slave. From now on, you can freely enter and leave this country. Even if you leave and walk somewhere else, it’s okay.”

Kaori's eyes widened in surprise, Gilgamesh stood tall, he looked down at the girl, and Kaori looked up at him, with an incredulous expression on his face.

She is free, no longer a "slave of Gilgamesh", but a free person, who can freely choose where she wants to go, where she wants to stay, who she wants to serve, and whose country she wants to survive in.

There was a confident and unruly smile on Wang's face that belonged to him alone.

He was expecting an answer.

"Then," Kaori put her hand over her heart, "please allow me to stay by your side."

This is a choice she made herself.

Just out of my heart.
