"Shiro-chan, do you think that person is the golden man you killed before?"
Behind Ryota, Hayasaka slightly tugged at the clothes on his back and asked in a low voice.
After asking, she added: "That psychopath is always calling other people mutts."
"Oh? Rarely do we agree, Hayasaka."
Misaki also interrupted, and asked Ryota: "This person is a bit like... No, this is the person we met in Fuyuki City, right? He is the king of this city? Shiro-chan is here to kill him again?"
"I think it's better to act now, lest he scold us later." Hayasaka suggested.
Ryota was speechless.
"Your way of thinking can't be too harsh, okay? This journey is not to find fault. That's right, he is indeed the Servant we met in Fuyuki City, Gilgamesh, King of ancient Babylon, you should know more or less after studying history. Now is the era where he is still around, and what you see is him at the time he was still alive. "
"Won't there be any trouble?" Kiritsugu also joined the conversation.
"Something must be wrong!" Hayasaka said, "This fellow's mouth is very rough."
"That's right." Misaki suggested: "I agree to the proposal to kill him before he speaks?"
"...Don't worry, there's no need." Ryota said: "As I said before, in one's life, there will definitely be periods of stupidity. The Gilgamesh we met in Fuyuki City was summoned almost at his stupidest period, so it's hard to get along with. As for now… there should be no problem in this."
"Does this mean he doesn't know how to curse people now?" Hayasaka asked.
Ryouta: "..."
He didn't know how to answer this question.
Cursing... Gilgamesh still knows how to scold.
"Let's not talk about it for now," Ryota shook his head and said, "We don't have much contact with him. I came to him because he had something to do with my quest. As for you, stay free in Uruk for two days and don't disturb him."
"Is that so… I know." Misaki nodded.
Hayasaka and Kiritsugu didn't care about this anymore.
Currently, Mine and Ishtar had just finished their round of confrontation.
Ishtar felt that Mine, as a teammate, really didn't give face, even doing something to expose her in front of her enemy, which made her furious!
Mine felt that Ishtar was a bit evil, this kind of person was actually a goddess… Dunno what her followers were up to.
"Ha ha ha..."
Suddenly, Gilgamesh's laughter resounded throughout the hall.
Everyone looked at him.
Gilgamesh said: "Siduri, it looks like your information is wrong. These people are not the subordinates of that stupid goddess."
"Who are you calling stupid! A trash king who can't even beat a Demon Beast!"
Ishtar immediately responded, and was ready to teach Gilgamesh a lesson.
Too bad Ryota stopped her: "Okay, hold your temper."
"Snort..."
Ishtar opened her hand, seemingly ignoring him. However, judging by the fact that she stopped, Ryota, as the captain, was still very effective.
"Oh? It seems you are the leader."
Gilgamesh looked at Ryota, as if checking: "To make that fellow obey... This king is a bit curious about you. What is the purpose of coming here?"
"Cooperation." Ryota said: "My partner wants to spend two days in this town."
"Hmph, you sure are an arrogant visitor… But, this king agrees."
Gilgamesh said: "You have dealt with the Demon Beast calamity. This achievement is enough to repay you. It doesn't matter if you want to come to Uruk to play. This king will let all of Uruk throw a celebratory banquet for you. You can stay as long as you want."
"Just two days, I won't stay much longer." Ryota said with a smile: "During this period of time, food, clothing, housing, and transportation will be borne by you, king."
"Haha... Is this king still stingy?"
Gilgamesh's tone was mingled with pride: "This king will personally treat you to a high standard, so there's no need to worry. As for cooperation... What cooperation do you mean? "
"Of course it's about Tiamat," Ryota replied.
"Tiamat...? You want to attack the Beast Goddess?"
"The Beast Goddess and Tiamat are two different things."
"Oh? It seems you know a lot…"
After pondering for a moment, Gilgamesh said: "Since you are allies in the crusade against the Demon Beasts, cooperation is of course not a problem, but this king also has conditions."
After a pause, he said directly: "Information— This king needs to know the information you have."
"Sure, no problem." Ryota nodded "I will tell you in two days."
"Hah? Why was it postponed two days?" asked Gilgamesh.
"That's because of me," Ryota replied, "Don't worry, there won't be any delays."
"Okay. This king will wait for you for two days."
Gilgamesh rose from his throne and walked down the stairs: "Let's go, allies, this king's banquet will satisfy you."
...
Gilgamesh did as he was told.
At his behest, all of Uruk came alive and had a feast.
Misaki and the others are considered heroes and receive a very warm welcome.
There was no longer any shadow of the Demon Beasts outside the city.
Carnival in people's hearts is very united with the atmosphere of the banquet.
Perhaps everyone had been depressed for too long, the banquet didn't end until late at night.
Naturally, Ryota wouldn't pour cold water at this time, saying that they were happy too quickly.
Despite that, the banquet made him have some empathy for the humans living in this era, and he felt very little empathy for their emotions.
Ryota didn't know if it was because of the Military Command System that made him overly sensitive to emotions.
Of course, this is not a bad thing. At least from what it's worth, this isn't a bad thing. Due to him experience of empathy, his determination to face the events of Tiamat increases.
Not only to protect Ishtar's safety, but also to save humanity in this era.
Some things like this, he can ignore it when he doesn't know about it.
But as soon as he saw it, he would feel pity.
...
During the banquet, Misaki finds Ryota and drags him to a corner where no one is.
"What do you want to do?" Ryota couldn't help reminding: "If that... there are too many people, this place is not suitable, be patient, I will satisfy you when I come back."
Misaki: "..."
"What a greedy little girl…"
Ryota sighed and said: "Misaki, at your age you really have to hold back. I can help you recover your weak body, but if you become too lustful psychologically, I can't help you recover. "
"What are you thinking about! Pervert!" Misaki, who had a somewhat serious expression, suddenly blushed.
"Not that kind of thing?" Ryota asked.
"Of course not!" Misaki pinched Ryota's waist forcefully, and said angrily, "Are you a pervert? Why do you always think about that! I have a question to ask you."
"Actually..." Ryota countered: "You can't blame me, you came every night during the previous period… Cough cough, let's get down to business."
Under Misaki's glare, Ryota wisely chose to avoid her, and changed the subject.
"What are you going to ask me?"
"Why wait two days?"
After Misaki stared at Ryota for a while, she asked: "When we were talking with the king of Uruk in the afternoon, why did you say wait two days before giving him information? After two days, except for you and Ishtar, we will all return to the safe house. Are you trying to hide something?"
"You think too much."
Ryota explained: "Because if I tell Gilgamesh the information about Lahmu's attack now, he will definitely not be in the mood to have a banquet, and then the whole of Uruk will become tense, and everyone will be unable to play anymore. "
"Now that this is an adventure, play or something, it shouldn't be like this," Misaki reminded: "Shouldn't you hurry up and complete your quest? You don't need to wait for two days."
"My quest is rather special. It can only be opened when a Demon Beast like Lahmu descends, and Lahmu's descent must meet one condition— Death of the Gorgon."
Ryota continued to explain: "I have nothing to do until Ishtar kills the Gorgon, so I'm in no rush. As for Ishtar… she had a month to complete the quest, let alone these two days. "
"So there is a connection like that between the Gorgon and Lahmu… Alright."
Misaki accepted this statement. However, she still felt something was wrong. There is no logical error in Ryota's explanation.
But why did it feel like he was purposely finding excuses to explain it to her?
A woman's intuition is nonsense.
"Is Shiro-chan really not hiding anything from us?" Misaki asked again.
Hearing this, Ryota rolled his eyes: "How sensitive are you? What can I hide from you?"
"Hmph, weren't you keeping the matter between you and Hayasaka a secret from me?"
Misaki's eyes were half closed, her expression was a little jealous, and her eyes were a little dangerous.
Ryota: "..."
Ryota pretends to be a dead person.
"I'll clean you up after the adventure is over." Misaki kicked Ryota's knee, "Prepare your mind!"
"How to clean?" Ryota becomes curious.
"Hehe..." Misaki smiled mysteriously: "I hope your body can survive when the time comes."
"..." Ryota's curiosity grew stronger: "Why do I feel you are playing around? You believe we both did that sort of thing, and it's not that you couldn't hold it in first?"
"Pervert." Misaki blushed slightly: "Just you wait! Even if you beg for mercy, I will not let you go!"
After speaking, she turned and left.
Ryota was not given the opportunity to ask further questions.
At first, he didn't really care, Ryota was sure of winning, feeling a little unsure in his heart.
What does Misaki really mean?
If it really was something unsuitable for children... Where did Misaki have the confidence to say something like that?
Was she not afraid of being framed?
...
To Ryota's surprise, not long after Misaki left, Ishtar found him surreptitiously, then pulled her to a farther corner.
"Okay, let's get started." Ishtar reminded.
Ryota wonders "What started?"
"Want to play dumb?" Ishtar's mouth was slightly disdainful: "I came to you during the banquet, and now everyone is enjoying the banquet, so I won't come to you at this time, how about it? This goddess has saved quite a lot of face for you."
Her body floated, and beckoned: "Let's fulfill our agreement. Remember to be respectful when you kiss my back, and don't think dirty thoughts."
After she finished speaking, she stretched out her calf. The toes, which were as clear as pearl crystals, faced Ryota's line of sight.
"Hurry and complete the obedience ceremony. This goddess will not let you kneel."
Ishtar showed a provocative smile: "How? I considered your face, didn't I?"
"Next time, now doesn't fit" Ryota said, "Next time."
"What's inappropriate?"
"Because..."
"I don't want to listen! I don't want to listen!"
Ishtar made a motion to cover her ears.
Ryota: "..."
"Stop making excuses!"
Ishtar curled her lips and said: "The group of people will return to the safe house after the seven day survival period ends. And the 'door' that connected the base on my side couldn't be opened during my adventure, and they wouldn't be able to return once they returned. Want to hide. Hmph, is that what you think? This goddess will tell you tonight—no way! Fulfill the agreement with me, otherwise... Hehehe, they will find out all the information tomorrow! "
"Ishtar, you misunderstood me, I'm not like that..."
"You!"
"..."
Ryota half closed his eyes, and his eyes became very dangerous: "No one dares to threaten me!"
"Stop airing, do you think the goddess is scared!"
Ishtar had an indifferent attitude: "Hurry up and lick it… Ah no, it kisses the instep."
"You are the patron saint of Uruk," Ryota started talking about the principle of persuasion: "The people here are all your adherents. As their goddess, you want me to blaspheme their goddess under their noses?"
"That's right, so hurry up." Ishtar said casually.
After she finished speaking, she thought about the scene carefully.
How does it feel a little interesting?
"It seems you don't talk about affection at all..."
Ryota's mood suddenly changed.
"That's my business, you don't care, just fulfill your agreement quickly."
Ishtar floated in the air, with her hands resting on her head, her white and slender right leg stretched out in front of Ryota, and the corner of her mouth turned up and said:
"Don't linger, I'm really looking forward to your appearance when you surrender to the goddess..."
After she finished speaking, she suddenly yawned.
How does she feel a little sleepy?
snap!
Ryota suddenly grabbed Ishtar's ankles.
"Uh... Take it easy, and show your respect." Ishtar reminded.
"I'm very respectful now, goddess."
Ryota suddenly touched Ishtar's calf, and there was a soft and smooth touch from his hand.
"Wait... what are you doing?"
Ishtar realized something was wrong.
"Of course this is a lesson for a certain goddess who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth!"
Ryota's hands began to rise irregularly over Ishtar's calves above the knees.
He also said: "Ishtar, it seems you didn't take my earlier warning seriously. Anyway, I will teach you a lesson tonight!"
"Stop..."
Ishtar struggled, but she always felt a little weak. Consciousness seems to be slowly becoming hazy.
Ryota quickly pulled Ishtar out of the air and pressed her to the ground.
He played with those slender legs a few times.
But it was precisely when he wanted to do something even more extreme to this arrogant goddess.
Suddenly there was a scream.
"What do you want to do to me!?"
Ryota was stunned for a moment, and looked down.
He saw that Ishtar who was pressed to the ground had turned red.
