[Comprehensive] King's Best Friend

After flying continuously for nearly an hour, the familiar city of Uruk finally appeared in everyone's field of vision.

"finally reached……"

Fujimaru Lixiang breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this journey was sparked with lightning, and she would not be able to hold it any further.

"Welcome everyone back—King Gilgamesh, Lord Enkidu, Lord Ishtar, Your Excellency Fujimaru Tachika."

With a gentle voice, the chief priest Siduri greeted him from a distance.

"Huh, Siduri?"

Fujimaru Tachika scratched her head in embarrassment: "We were delayed for a while on the road, have you been waiting here?"

"It's not me who has been waiting."

Siduli covered her lips and smiled lightly, blinking her eyes lightly to indicate something: "My lords, please follow me back to the palace, that king has been anxious and worried for a long time."

"Ah."

Mayne took the lead to catch up with Siduri, turned back after a few steps, and reminded the lagging Wang: "Jill, you've already arrived in the king's city, and it's time to end all the messing around."

Gilgamesh took out Wang Cai's hand, and the dissuasion from his best friend was obviously very effective. The golden king put out the flames of war, and sneered at Ishtar: "...Hmph, spare your life for now, bastard .”

"Who asked you to release the water?"

Ishtar stroked his messy hair, and the etiquette goddess took a deep breath, rubbed her teeth secretly, and said, "Forget it this time, wait for me next time, Kim Pika."

When everyone officially entered the city, the soldiers who were arranging the ballista immediately noticed them.

The soldier hastily put down the ballista that was being loaded and unloaded, ran over and saluted solemnly. Amid the crisp sound of armor colliding, his face flushed with excitement, and he didn't hold back a word for a long time.

Fujimaru Tatsuka didn't quite understand the other party's meaning, so he hurriedly imitated the other party's appearance and returned a salute, but the soldier seemed to be stimulated by seeing this, and knelt down with a puff.

Fujimaru Tachika: "...Huh, huh?!"

"He was paying respects to you just now, Master."

Mayne explained to the bewildered girl: "This is the custom of Uruk for a hero. If you respond with equal behavior, it will disturb him."

The soldier nodded abruptly, unable to speak nervously and awkwardly, completely flattered.

"Well, that's it, but heroes or something..."

"There is nothing wrong with that. You are indeed the heroes who saved Uruk from the original mother."

Siduri smiled slightly: "The mighty power of God Tiamat can be felt even by us here far away, and it is you all who stopped her before the final front and opened up the last pure land of mankind. oh."

The chief priest clasped his hands together and prayed like a pilgrimage: "In short, it's great that everyone can come back safely. This glory belongs to you, and this joy pervades Uruk."

"Look, it's the young king!"

"Master Enkidu and the others are back!"

"Goddess Ishtar, please protect our country!"

"Long live Uruk!"

"Celebrate the victory!!!"

"..."

On the avenue from the city gate to the palace, more and more people noticed the return of the crowd.

People gathered spontaneously—girls carrying flower baskets, young women leading children, and old men on crutches stretching their folds.

Like a grand parade, barefoot dancers presented garlands, young men in headscarves brought fresh fruits and vegetables, and the whole city became a sea of ​​laughter and laughter.

In the end, even Gilgamesh was sprinkled with flower petals by some warrior who is not afraid of death.

But what is surprising is that the arrogant king did not lose his temper, but seemed to be in a good mood.

"Can't you see that Kim Pika's temper has changed?"

Ishtar, with a garland hanging around his neck, muttered in surprise, then turned his head, and picked up a sweet fruit from the arms of Fujimaru Tachika, who was given a lot of food beside him.

Compared to Ishtar's confusion about the king, Mayne obviously felt the same way: "It seems that you also remembered that time, Jill."

Gilgamesh crossed his arms and raised the corners of his lips: "Ah."

That was the best time for the king and his best friends. Every time they came back from hunting, people would greet them like this. What was hidden in that smile was nothing but the precious thing called hope.

Always believe that tomorrow will come, and this is what they guarded for, until now.

Surrounded by the crowd, I walked to the end of the avenue.It is still the huge palace of extraordinary style that is located on the high platform.

The crowd around them consciously stopped in front of the stairs, cheering like fanatical fans, admiring the heroes, and shouting their names loudly.

Mayne was obviously used to the enthusiasm of the people of Uruk, so he waved goodbye calmly: "Let's go, Master."

"Okay, okay."

Received all the way in such a big battle, with gifts and special effects, Fujimaru Tateka calmed down the flattered mood, turned her head to look at the stairs she had climbed exhaustingly last time, and silently clenched her fists.

"..." Ishtar glanced at the girl pretending to be arrogant, "If you beg me, I can help you by the way."

Fujimaru Tachika: "Please take me with you!"

When everyone walked through the long steps and finally walked into the spacious and bright throne room, they immediately saw the king who was resting with his eyes closed.

"It's too slow to make me wait so long."

On the throne, the virtuous king opened his half-closed eyes, the ruby-like pupils were astonishingly beautiful.

"King Gilgamesh has been waiting here for more than three hours. He moved from the back garden to the gate of the city. He returned to the palace angrily when he didn't see everyone coming back."

"Siduri, these words are superfluous!"

The Xian King put down the hand that was supporting his cheek and stood up, lightly reprimanded: "This king is just driving around, he is not waiting for someone."

"Hi, hi." Siduri responded with a good temper.

However, it's not clear whether this look of connivance or perfunctory made King Xian's complexion worse.

"..."

After a moment of silence, King Xian waved his hand directly, and a group of attendants walked in.

"Follow them to freshen up. My king's court doesn't entertain shabby-looking guys."

Fujimaru Tachika: ...to be sent away as soon as we met, Mr. Xian Wang, weren't you still anxious to see us just now?

"Shabby? What are you saying to the most beautiful goddess in Uruk!"

Ishtar brushed his hair and retorted unhappily.

But halfway through the hair, Ishtar accidentally caught a glimpse of the hair tip that was suspected to be scorched or cut off by a sharp weapon. Ishtar immediately "ah" and was very distressed: "When did it become like this?!"

So I compromised.

In fact, not only Ishtar, everyone who experienced the end of the battle was more or less embarrassed, and the broken costumes also needed to be repaired carefully.

However, just as everyone left with his attendants without any objection, the Xian King suddenly spoke and called to Mayne at the end of the line: "Enkidu, come with me."

"..."

The sound of da da footsteps stopped suddenly, followed by a subtle silence.

Fujimaru Tachika in the team looked at Gilgamesh reflexively... Hey, why did she look at Gilgamesh?

——Probably because he has a keen sense of the smell of the Shura field.

Under the trembling gaze of the girl, the golden king had already stopped and looked back at the virtuous king who had spoken.

Those iconic scarlet snake pupils narrowed slightly, looking at the other self with an unusually sharp gaze, with a penetrating sense like a sharp blade.

Xian Wang seemed to be aware of it, and calmly cast a glimmer of light, and the two pairs of similar but different red eyes looked at each other.

"...? Hey, what are you still dawdling over there?"

Feeling wrong, Ishtar turned around and found that Fujimaru Tachika and the others had fallen a long way from her, and a group of people did not follow for some reason.

"Master, Jill, you go first."

Before the Oldest King took any action, Mayne said lightly: "I'll look for you later."

"Okay, I'm fine..."

Fujimaru Tachika looked hesitantly at Gilgamesh who didn't express anything, but the other party didn't even look this way with a blank expression.

——Damn, why does she feel so intrusive?

"Jill."

The silver-haired heroic spirit took his time and was familiar with the road.According to past experience and tacit understanding, it is often only necessary to call out at such times, and friends can understand his thoughts.

But this time, the moment the stagnant atmosphere was broken, the two kings turned their heads and looked over at the same time.

Gilgamesh:"……"

King Xian: "..."

Gilgamesh: My friend asked me why you join in the fun?

Xian Wang: Don't pretend to be sentimental, it's obviously my king.

Fujimaru Tachika: "..." Life is precious, I think I should go first.

Mayne looked left and right, and made a mistake... So why does Jill have to make trouble with "myself", is this an irreversible setting?

"……Humph."

After a stalemate for about half a minute, Gilgamesh was the first to break the silence, with the corners of his mouth raised arrogantly: "What should be over, let's end as soon as possible, I don't have the patience to wait too long."

Gilgamesh hadn't forgotten that this was the singularity. Unlike him who had become a heroic spirit, it was obviously impossible for the virtuous king who was still alive to leave Uruk and return to Chaldea with them.

Thinking of this, Wang, who was suddenly in a good mood, walked out happily.When passing by the silver-haired heroic spirit, the Oldest King said: "My dear friend, I leave this here for you. If you need anything from that guy, feel free to ask. You're welcome."

The subtext is to quickly ask for the Holy Grail, and leave after recycling.

The virtuous king naturally understood what Gilgamesh said, and his face darkened, but for some reason he didn't turn back.

Mayne shook his head helplessly, and after watching the crowd leave, he looked at King Xian: "So, Jill, what's the matter with you?"

The virtuous king of Uruk lowered his eyes silently. Unlike his other self, his golden hair was very softly resting on the side of his neck. When he calmed down, his whole person was almost lonely.

"You're going back soon, follow the master of Chaldea."

"……Um."

"It's a pity, this king can't let go of Uruk yet, otherwise it would be good to see that interesting human institution."

"Jill..."

"Let's go, my friend." The Xian King interrupted his brief sigh and smiled: "At least before leaving, let this king show you a good look-the ideal country that has inherited our vision, our Uruk."

My dearest friend, I hope you can see that there are thousands of miles of rivers and endless stars there.

Even if I am destined not to continue walking with you, even if the Fifth Dynasty of Uruk ends, our friendship will last forever and never change.
