Gilgamesh

　　Next, Ryota brought Misaki and the others, and started the tedious process of clearing the Demon Beasts.

　　Domain is really a very useful skill.

　　When he opened the time domain it slowed down.

　　No matter if it was the Demon Beasts on the ground or the Demon Beasts in the air, without exception, they could no longer harm him and those around him.

　　When the Demon Beasts approached, they would slowly stagnate. So the killing process is very simple.

　　It was so simple that Ryota felt that if killing Demon Beasts was his quest, then he would apply another aggressive domain, and then fly around the plains of Mesopotamia like a "hoop", from outside to inside. With his speed, the Demon Beasts would become extinct in less than an hour.

　　Too bad this quest wasn't his, and he couldn't steal from his teammates.

　　He could only take Misaki and the others and hand them over one by one.

　　Fortunately, most of the Demon Beasts were concentrated around human cities, rather than scattered across the plains of Mesopotamia.

　　Although permit work is impractical to apply for, it is not a test of patience to the hellish level.

　　Of course, not everything went smoothly.

　　The goddess who made Demon Beasts was a Gorgon.

　　Behind the scenes is Kingu.

　　Gorgons can't go out at will, but Kingu has no limits.

　　This person immediately noticed that the number of Demon Beasts was decreasing, and hurriedly went to Uruk to detect the situation of the battle.

　　After learning that the reason was not in Uruk, he took advantage of his ability to fly, and went back and forth across the plains of Mesopotamia to find out who messed up the situation.

　　It was a pity that he didn't know that among the enemies he was facing, there were two existences with excellent perception abilities.

　　Whenever Kingu approached the 10 kilometer distance, Ryota and Misaki would immediately ask everyone to change position.

　　The former rely on emotional sensing to lock in intense hatred and anger.

　　The last is telepathy.

　　The two joined forces and played with Kingu, which made the other party anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

　　When Ryota and the others hide in the dark and observe silently, they can often see Kingu, who is in a desperate state, constantly attacking the ground, making holes and venting his sorrows.

　　...

　　"This person is too annoying!"

　　After evading Kingu's search again, Ishtar's rage rose.

　　"It's just a doll, why do we keep dodging it? So what if everything is revealed? After all, the Gorgons can't beat us."

　　"You can't beat me," Ryota corrected, "It's okay to beat you."

　　"Go out!" shouted Ishtar.

　　"Oh, to be honest, people are getting targeted these days. Really... Don't look at me like that, I won't mention this matter."

　　After coughing a little, Ryota said seriously: "Gorgon really can't beat us, but she will definitely interfere with our quest, and instead of attacking her, we have to protect her, and we can't let her die now."

　　Ryota felt that if he really was reduced to the point where he had to take the initiative to protect the Gorgons...

　　That would be kind of messed up.

　　"We can imprison the Gorgons right away!" Ishtar suggested.

　　"You are sure?" Ryota reminded: "Isn't your goddess' pride very high? If you are seen by ordinary people a few more times, you will be furious and immediately imprisoned… What if the Gorgon couldn't stand this humiliation and committed suicide?"

　　"..."

　　Ishtar gritted her teeth: "We can at least get rid of Kingu first, so he won't bother us all the time."

　　"Kingu was killed, and the Gorgon herself will be out to find it."

Ryota waved his hand to comfort Ishtar and said:

　　"Angry wishful thinking, don't you think it's quite interesting to play hide-and-seek with each other?"

　　"Where's the fun in that?" Ishtar pouted: "I just find it annoying."

　　"I think it bothers you to return to the shrine first. Besides, it's not your turn yet. What are you rushing for?"

　　"No, I have to follow you first."

　　"Why?"

　　"Don't worry about it, it's my personal business."

　　Ishtar furiously refused to answer.

　　She should follow Ryota, find a chance to be alone, and then let this man fulfill his promise to lick her feet – Of course it's not comfortable talking about this kind of thing.

　　Seeing this, Ryota hesitantly used a provocative method.

　　"Ishtar, you don't have an extreme opinion of Kingu due to personal grievances, do you? I remember in the myth, you were beaten by Enkidu and Gilgamesh together, and Kingu's body just happened to be Enkidu's... Aren't you being too stingy? As a goddess, if you pretend to be pushy, you take the initiative for revenge instead?"

　　Ishtar: "..."

　　"Look at me, Inaho, Misaki, Hayasaka..." After pointing around, Ryota said, "We don't mind, you're the only one causing trouble... You can't really be such a troublemaker?"

　　"Who's a troublemaker!" Ishtar replied, "I only complained a little, nothing else."

　　"Let's go," She gestured to everyone, "Another Demon Beast is near Uruk, let's continue hunting."

　　After speaking, she took off first.

　　Ryota looked at Ishtar's back, feeling a little complicated.

　　He didn't expect it to work. It seems that the essence of this person is really like this.

　　What a bad goddess.

　　"Shiro, what is the Demon Beast production mechanism? Do you know?" Inaho suddenly asked Ryota.

　　"You want to produce yourself?" Ryota asked back.

　　"That's right. Previously, I thought that we wouldn't be able to exterminate all the Demon Beasts in this plains within seven days, but it turns out that it's only the fourth day, and my quest is about to be completed. The remaining Demon Beasts must be exterminated in one day."

　　Inaho estimated: "By then, we will have two days left to survive. If we don't do anything, I don't think it's appropriate. After all, our goal is to score points."

　　"In those two days… We can go to Uruk, combine work and rest, and put our minds at ease."

　　Ryota makes a suggestion that surprises everyone.

　　"Relax? Uh… I don't think that's necessary at all." Mine replied: "There are only seven days, and every minute and every second is used to score points. Isn't the right way to do it on an adventure?"

　　"Combination of work and rest, just listen to me." Ryota has a perfunctory attitude.

　　"Shiro-chan, is there any information we don't know about?" Misaki asked suddenly.

　　"No." Ryota shook his head.

　　"Suspicious." Hayasaka half closed her eyes and joined in the conversation: "The more you do this, the more curious we will be."

　　"You two obey." Ryota could only order: "Just listen to me about this matter, don't ask for such details. Okay, let's go to Uruk, don't keep Ishtar waiting too long."

　　"Wait!" Mine stopped him "There's nothing to hide, we killed Demon Beasts, not humans, so what can't you say?"

　　Ryota: "..."

　　"Uh… what are you doing with that expression?"

　　Seeing Ryota suddenly showing a subtle expression, Mine's heart fluttered slightly:

　　"Don't tell me, we actually killed humans…"

　　"Don't worry, it's a Demon Beast, not a human."

　　Ryota reassured her, and then sighed: "Mine, why do you say that you have such a thirst for knowledge?"

　　"They also asked."

　　Mine pointed at Misaki and Hayasaka.

　　"They can ask whatever they want, you have to pay attention," said Ryota.

　　"Why?"

　　"…Forget it, there's no harm in telling you this idiot."

　　Ignoring Mine's disgruntled eyes, Ryota said: "Demon beasts created by the Gorgons with humans as their nutrition."

　　Mine: "..."

　　The others were also dumbfounded, subconsciously feeling an indescribable refusal.

　　Although it is not as powerful as the words "the bread you eat is actually filled with human flesh", it will disgust people to a greater or lesser extent.

　　"That's why I said don't ask... Now, don't forget what you came here for."

　　Ryota raised his voice to alert everyone.

　　"Demon beasts are Demon Beasts, humans are humans, you must separate the relationship between the two. With kills Demon Beasts, you help humans in this era, and you can also earn points. This is a good thing, don't get the position question wrong."

　　"I see," Mine said a little unsure: "Don't be so vulnerable! At first I didn't think there was anything wrong, but now that you remind me very seriously, it makes people feel uncomfortable."

　　"It doesn't matter to me, let's continue the quest."

　　Inaho's voice came from the mecha.

　　Even though he said it was fine, he didn't mention mass production of Demon Beasts to score points. It seems that he still rejects things that violate human ethics and morality.

　　Of course, it was also possible that he was worried about his teammates' rejection, so he didn't mention it.

　　It's just that Ryota considers this possibility very small.

　　The other side.

　　Kiritsugu had no expression on his face, Shinobu frowned, but soon returned to normal.

　　Misaki admits that she doesn't mind, and jokes about Hayasaka, saying that she is the most unacceptable and unpromising person.

　　The two girls soon had another verbal confrontation.

　　The slightly serious atmosphere died down a lot because of this.

　　Ryota led the crowd to follow Ishtar.

　　Soon, arrived at the destination.

　　...

　　In the city of Uruk.

　　At the temple.

　　Sitting on the throne, Gilgamesh rested his chin on one hand and asked his assistant below:

　　"Siduri, have you found the reason for the weakening of the Demon Beast's attacks?"

　　"Just checked." Siduri replied: "According to eyewitnesses, it was the goddess Ishtar who led a group of underlings to fight the Demon Beasts on the plains."

　　Under the cover of the veil, the corners of Siduri's mouth curved slightly.

　　As Ishtar's priestess, knowing that the goddess she trusted could give up her prejudice against the king and participate in the wave of resistance against the Demon Beasts, she couldn't help but be happy.

　　"It turns out she is...!?"

　　Gilgamesh sat up straight: "It only took five days to completely weaken the Demon Beast attack, that idiot goddess… Does she have the ability?"

　　He slightly wondered if Ishtar had released the Bull of Heaven.

　　But not true.

　　If Bull of Heaven appeared, it would be completely unreasonable.

　　"King! Please be careful with your words!"

　　Siduri's attitude suddenly became sharper: "Goddess Ishtar is the patron saint of the city of Uruk. Even if you are the king, you cannot speak inappropriately about the goddess."

　　"Hmph, what a serious woman."

　　Gilgamesh waved his hand: "This king's doubts are not false. I didn't mean to attack that person. Siduri, you should know that person's strength best, or did you see the bull appear?"

　　"No." Siduli shook her head: "This is what I want to report. Goddess Ishtar has recruited a group of underlings. Those guys are pretty strong, but I don't have any impression of them."

　　"Hah? You said quite a capable underling…"

　　Gilgamesh frowned slightly.

　　Even though there was no way to use Clairvoyance to see things related to Ishtar, if there was a group of powerful people active in this war, it would be impossible for him to ignore it.

　　"Report-!"

　　At this time, someone walked into the hall:

　　"My king, the goddess Ishtar is here, and the Demon Beasts outside are… so..."

　　Explosion!

　　Above the elevated temple, a huge hole suddenly exploded.

　　Ishtar landed from the hole and appeared in front of everyone.

　　An extremely proud expression on her face.

　　"Oh, isn't this the useless King Uruk? You can't even win against an ordinary Demon Beast, and you need a goddess to help you clean up this mess… Hehe, you still have the face to sit there? Not afraid to make the Uruks laugh at you."

　　"Oh? After a bit of hard work, you dare to criticize me?"

　　Gilgamesh narrowed his eyes.

　　"A little hard work?" Ishtar said disdainfully: "Are you blind? This goddess has dealt with all the Demon Beasts. Compared to someone like you who can just sit here and be a losing dog, that's a hundred times better okay!"

　　"Snort..."

　　Gilgamesh was about to turn around.

　　Suddenly, a girl's voice sounded from outside the hall:

　　"Wait for me! Don't take all our credit without perquest! Son of a bitch."

　　Everyone looked around, and a pink-haired girl with a gun ran in and gave Ishtar a disgruntled look.

　　It's Mine.

　　Following Mine, Ryota and the others also entered.

　　Misaki and Hayasaka followed behind Ryota. After they entered the main hall, they subconsciously looked forward.

When they saw the figure sitting on the throne, they suddenly froze in place.

　　Even Kiritsugu showed a surprised expression.

　　It's too similar... No, wasn't it the Servant with a full body of gold that appeared in Fuyuki City?

　　No way, people are always impressed by people who think they're stupid... people with problem brains.
