[Comprehensive] Why am I not dead yet?

Today is the fifth day since King Gilgamesh left Uruk. There is no hard-working virtuous king on the throne, but his trusted ministers continue to be busy.

"Let me tell you, Susu..." Merlin didn't go with Chaldea and the others, but has been following Lian Su for the past few days to see her busy without touching the ground, and how she didn't even care to drink her saliva. , Merlin was really distressed: "Stop and rest for a while, more or less?"

"Not yet." She always used this phrase to prevaricate him.

Her way of acting is much gentler than Gilgamesh's. Whether soldiers, priests or ordinary people are used to listening to the king's reprimand, they are naturally more willing to listen to her.

Coupled with Lian Su's own appearance and the rumors of being like a queen spread by Siduri, some things that can be explained clearly in a few words will always take more time to resolve, which undoubtedly formed a bad situation. On the fourth day, even Merlin couldn't stand it and reached out to help.

It's just that the reputation of Magician of Flowers is really not good, and everyone will deliberately bypass Merlin to find Lian Su when reporting-it's not that his bad reputation of being a playful person has also been carried forward here, it's purely It's because the half-succubus sticks too much beside Lian Su.

But this time, even Siduri began to agree with Merlin's words.

"...you've done too much."

Standing in front of Lian Su, Siduli's expression was rare and serious.

——Not only did she command and lead the work of her subjects and subjects like Gilgamesh, she even made various arrangements for various situations that may occur in the future. She has no clairvoyance or similar ability, These arrangements are purely based on her own speculation about what will happen in the future... Even without the talent for magic, Siduri can see that she is burning her little life force at a terrifying speed.

"You need rest more than Wang now, my lord... No, Wang should be sent out to play by you, but you haven't rested at all, have you?" Si Duli said to Lian Su with her arms crossed, then The worry in his eyes had grown to the point of irritation. "The king will find entertainment for himself, but it seems to me that you don't even know what the most basic rest is."

"Don't say that, Siduri, I just need to finish my busy days."

"No." The priest categorically rejected her words, and shook his head vigorously at Lian Su: "You have even arranged the plan for half a month, so what you need now is not work but rest. What if you use it again?" If you use the excuse of not being able to sleep to prevaricate me, then I can only ask the master magician over there to help."

...The very tough head priest, and the priests and scholars who stood on the same front as the head priest "sent" Lian Su to the vicinity of the temple of Ishtar - where Merlin was waiting for her.

"Good afternoon, Vivian."

Merlin is still used to calling her by this name when there is no one else around, and only he still calls him Vivienne when everyone calls her Lian Su, which gives Merlin a subtle sense of satisfaction and possessiveness, and slightly comforts her. The anxiety and fear deep in his heart.

He will deliberately call her current name in an intimate and natural tone in front of Gilgamesh, but Merlin still likes the specialness that the name Vivienne brings to him: this name exists in his legends, exists in In his life, Lian Su, who represents that, is an existence that has nothing to do with Gilgamesh—

but his.

The temple of Ishtar was full of flowers and the sun was shining brightly. Merlin stood overlooking the entire city of Uruk. He spread a blanket and knelt down and patted his thigh, smiling brightly: "West Miss Du Li asked you to rest, right? So come here quickly, Brother Merlin offered to provide a knee pillow~ Ah, but please rest assured, I promise I won’t move around.”

"...a knee pillow is fine."

Lian Su stood there for a while, and finally walked over and sat down beside Mei Lin.

The curvature of the Dream Demon's mouth became a little more sincere, and he simply changed from kneeling to cross-legged, showing his usual leisurely and casual appearance in front of her.

"But Vivienne, you really like this place... If I hadn't prevented you from being Artoria's instructor for practicing the Holy Lance, would you have worked so hard like now to the point where I would even be worried ?”

"You've been talking about Artoria to me, Merlin." Maybe because of finally relaxing his nerves, Lian Su's voice seemed light and ethereal, as if he was about to fall asleep.

"Hahahaha..." Merlin chuckled a few times, his tone full of loneliness and self-mockery: "Probably because I can only have the courage to chat with you now through Artoria as the entry point for my opening. "

"Arturia... let's talk later..." She tilted her head and suddenly fell on Merlin's shoulder. The magician trembled and was very flattered. Lian Su, who was leaning on her shoulder, tensed up in her usual brisk and hearty voice: "Vivienne?"

The scene in front of Lian Su's eyes was gradually blurring. She shook her head and rubbed against Merlin's neck unconsciously, as if she was acting coquettishly. , and then he heard the woman mumbling something in a daze.

"A little...a little tired, let me sleep for a while..."

"...Eh? Is it okay to fall asleep here?"

He tentatively opened his mouth, carefully dragged his palms under her head, and moved her head to his lap, seeing that the blond woman did not refuse his movement, but obediently turned her body to her pillow With her legs closed and her eyes closed, she curled up her thin and cold body and fell into sleep. The long white dress was spread out on the ground like a blooming flower.

"It's rare to have a good dream, Vivienne..." Merlin looked down at her sleeping side face for a long time, and then stretched out his fingers to brush the broken hair on Lian Su's forehead as if remembering, "By the way, by the way, help you weave it." A pleasant dream... Let me think about it, what kind of dream do you like? How about letting you dream of Gilgamesh when you were young?"

The Dream Demon's finger rested on her forehead, but the smile on the corner of her mouth suddenly froze.

"...Vivian?"

No one can wake up Lian Su anymore.

——This time, she fell into an eternal sleep.

****

On the morning of the seventh day, Wang, Fujimaru Tachibana, and Mash appeared at the gate of Uruk.

Ishtar, who was bound with chains, murmured and never heard of it all the way. Gilgamesh handed her over to Fujimaru Tachibana after a few words, and she has been trained to a considerable extent by relying on a bunch of heroes in Chaldea. With the smooth hair ability, it can be regarded as not letting these two old enemies continue to make any trouble along the way.

When they returned to Uruk, the guards near the city gate rarely lost their usual bright and gentle smiles when they welcomed the people back to the city.

Fujimaru Tachibana keenly felt something was wrong and stood there.

Standing there, Leonidas I bowed abruptly to King Gilgamesh.

The overly deserted and serious atmosphere made the cheerful smile on Gilgamesh's face gradually disappear, and his face sank, seeing that the heroic spirit he summoned by himself was rarely busy with frontline affairs, but ran to him in person and bowed, " what happened."

"...King Gilgamesh, please calm down."

The one who came out of the city to greet him was not Lian Su as he had expected, but the chief priest, Si Duli.

The eyes of this gentle woman were red: "...Master Lian Su fell into eternal sleep...and Mr. Magician disappeared together with Mr. Lian Su's body yesterday morning."

Gilgamesh:"……"

The king fell into a silence, and the quiet silence was chilling.

"—You should know the consequences of lying to this king." Gilgamesh said with a pause: "Even Su's spirit foundation has not left Uruk, and her breath has not dissipated. How can she die? and leave?"

"My lord!" Siduri shouted anxiously, her voice already choked with sobs: "Why should I lie to you about this kind of thing!? During the time you are away, Master Lian Su prepares for everyone She has planned all the arrangements for the next seven days to half a month, everything that might happen and the way to deal with it! I advised her to go to rest before, and she followed the magician's advice to sleep for a while...then...then..."

In the silence, Ishtar suddenly chuckled very abruptly.

"...It's just dead, it's useless."

This goddess of Venus reappeared in the form of a human girl. Even though she was affected by the other party and lost her former cruelty and cruelty, her essence is still that willful goddess. She sat on the bow of the sky and looked down at her with a smile. Gilgamesh, sinking like water: "Didn't you understand? Or are you blind with your eyes? If you don't understand, go to your city of Uruk and take a look."

"Don't stare at me, Gilgamesh, didn't you see clearly where I was before, and I didn't do this thing."

Lady Goddess smiled maliciously, "Don't look at me with such an expression that a tyrant only had many years ago, tsk tsk, what a terrible face... What should I do if I scare people? Don't deceive you because of them Just spit your anger on me with your eyes."

Gilgamesh stopped looking at her and walked into the city of Uruk. When his feet stepped on this extremely familiar land, he stopped.

Siduli, who was behind him, looked at his back timidly. Wang's back no longer gave people peace of mind and peace of mind, and they began to feel fear and panic.

——That was the back of the original Gilgamesh.

But this feeling was fleeting, as if it was only a blink of an eye, and Gilgamesh returned to the calm and calm posture of a virtuous king.

"……king?"

"To be precise, after I used Lian Su's body as a container to summon her spirit foundation to restore her lost blood, I couldn't see her future."

Gilgamesh stood there with his back to them, speaking in a deep voice.

... No, this statement is slightly wrong.

At the beginning, some vague shadows could still be vaguely seen.

The white-haired woman standing on the empty city wall of Uruk, standing alone in front of the god Tiamat, and then splitting the picture of the chaotic tide that surrounds Uruk's city wall as black as ink with a sword, Gilga Mesh did see—

Then, her future was covered by the "future" in history, and even Su's future could not be seen by Gilgamesh, and all she could feel was the unique contract between the spirit foundation of the heroic spirit and the master The link will let him know if she continues to exist here.

...and ended up being lied to by her.

Thoroughly and mercilessly played a lot.

Gilgamesh stood there and closed his eyes. He could feel the message that this land gave back to him. Those things made him raise the corners of his mouth, and even wanted to laugh out loud.

Ah... But the desire that drove him to laugh out loud was not anger but overly high joy. On the contrary, he was a little too happy, it was too happy but some annoyance was mixed into it.

...Let him, as a king, have tasted such a degree of sweetness and pleasure. This kind of high-concentration love can be easily addictive, and he has shown a disaster-level pollution ability in a completely unexpected place. This is not love but more than love. The repercussions of what she's been chasing are even more terrifying...

Since he could guess his next move, including every step, why didn't he consider how angry he would be if he lost such an existence in the future!

But it's okay, it's okay!

The so-called king should learn to indulge the waywardness of his courtiers occasionally, right?

"—Can you feel it, little girl from Chaldea?" Wang turned his head with a smile, and looked at the little girl from Chaldea. The smile on the corner of his mouth made even Ishtar feel creepy.

"Why didn't the king notice Lian Su's departure before? Why did the king feel that the contract between her and me has not been terminated?"

The arc of the corner of his mouth is gradually widening, that smile is extremely complicated, full of incomparable joy and bloody violence.

"—That's because of this land! This city! The little girl of Chaldea!!!"

"... She took advantage of this king's clairvoyance to only see the ending in her 'history', so that this king summoned her as a crown-level spiritual base, cut off the demon offerings, and deliberately left with the excuse of making a sword. She understands me, she understands me so well, although this level of understanding makes me happy, but now I am a little angry... I know that as long as she helps, even if this king has no intention of accepting Chaldea's help Let you stay, so that you can be assistants in the final step of the plan-"

Fujimaru Tachibana's fingertips felt cold and her throat felt astringent: "...I don't understand what you said."

"Why, don't you understand?" Gilgamesh laughed happily,

"My lord told you—"

"She peeled off her spirit base from that body, and imprinted it on every inch of land in Uruk—do you know the meaning of this act, little girl? That means she decided to fight for the king and 'That person' is an enemy... This kind of loyalty and thoughtfulness is worthy of praise, but it's completely unforgivable to run away and even throw the king aside!"

After Gilgamesh finished speaking, the smile on the corner of his mouth disappeared instantly, leaving only the awe-inspiring look in those scarlet snake eyes.

"...So." This time, the smile on Ishtar's face disappeared.

"What are you going to do, Gilgamesh—everything she should do in history has been done for you, and where she belongs next has nothing to do with you."

"Wrong, bastard."

King Gilgamesh sneered and retorted:

"Since she has the courage to do this for this king, she must be prepared to belong to this king forever! She has already offered such loyalty, so of course her future is also my king's property!

——Blood, bone, body, future, heart, soul... If even the spirit base is engraved on the land of Uruk, it means that even if she appears in the Heroic Spirit Then everything about her as a Heroic Spirit is also mine!No matter how many stupid lunatics who covet this king's treasure, they must be smashed to pieces in order to apologize! "

He is the supreme king who deserves to enjoy all the pleasures and pleasures in the world.

Then there is absolutely no reason for a woman who can brew such a supreme, unique and rare wine to be handed over to others.

Her blood dripped on her body, her bones became her own sword, her life ended for the king of Uruk, and even the last spirit base was imprinted on this land by her, becoming Uruk The last line of defense against Tiamat.

What was meant to be prevented no longer matters.

Because that woman chose herself without hesitation——

He met another guy who completely rejected his own reason for existence and even the representative meaning of the spirit base for himself.

The first to dissipate Gilgamesh's loneliness.

The second ruin is the loneliness of King Gilgamesh.

There will be nothing left in Gilgamesh's hands - there is nothing wrong with that statement.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

— Uruk still exists here.

At this moment, the eyes of Goddess Venus changed color.

"Ah...don't be kidding," Ishtar broke free from the chain, and flew into the sky with the Sky Bow!

"Bastard... bastard! Why do you think I was bound by such a ridiculous chain until now I have been coming back here with you..."

The bow of the sky was fully drawn, and the angry roar of the goddess sounded with it:

"That is the child born of God Tiamat... a child who was destined to die after birth... But even if it is death, she is undoubtedly the existence at the top-so say! So say! !!"

"——It's different from other treasures given to Ishtar... only she was destined to be mine from the beginning to the end, from the moment she was born!!!

By the way, why are you, a thief who robbed others, so confident! ! ! "

Corresponding to the roar of the goddess is the sound of the earth.

——To be precise, it was the sound of the opening of Hades from the depths of the earth.

"I see, it's not Ishtar, but Ereshkigal, the hostess of Hades..."

Gilgamesh snorted coldly, a bone-white long sword was held in his hands at some point, Ma Xiushi shield took a step forward, and said in a voiceless voice: "King! May I ask if you need help!"

"No need, back down."

Gilgamesh said coldly.

"If you are still standing here with this sword in your hand, there is no reason for me to lose anyway."
