Crown Dead

"Well, although the way of coming here is a bit inexplicable, my purpose is the same as yours. It is also to save humanity, restore the singularity, and fight for the continuation of human history! Even Anna signed a contract with me for this goal, Isn't it?"

"Please stay away from me. I was deceived. Not only is it completely useless in battle, this guy's ability to deceive is simply the collection of everyone in the world."

"...Well, that's it anyway, because of the impersonation of Enkidu, it took a lot of time, but don't worry! Next, under my leadership, you will be able to reach Uruk soon!"

"To be able to skip the embarrassing place in such a calm and breezy way is worthy of being a magician among magicians."

"Ah, presumably this superb technique must have been learned from being rejected by women time and time again."

An enemy's enemy is a companion, and for the same reason of "displeased to see Merlin", Xianyu and Roman inexplicably developed a comrade-in-arms friendship.

"... Humans are all stupid."

Anna tugged the hood down, ignored the group of idiots and started walking forward on her own.

three days later

"I'm finally back... I kind of miss the days when I could use magic to run around."

Xianyu and his party finally arrived at the gate of Uruk after a three-day march.

During the three days of walking, there was nothing worth mentioning, and the only thing worth mentioning was that Xian Yu's physique of "often hiccupping and farting for no reason" was exposed in front of everyone.

In Merlin's words: "If I can observe this guy in advance, I may have a very happy life in Avalon."

And if it was Mash, it would probably be: "Obviously he could stop the wave of monsters with his own strength, but he would suffocate because he choked his throat while eating bread. In a sense, it is simply an EX-level ability."

Although his wonderful physique was exposed, fortunately, everyone did not reject Xianyu because of it. The only one who felt uncomfortable with Xianyu's physique was Anna.

"Although we have arrived in Uruk—but how do we get in?"

"How about entering directly from the gate? Although there are guards guarding it, there seem to be quite a few pedestrians passing by."

"This time, I agree with Roman's opinion, and for the time being, I still carry the permit from the sacrificial ground."

Merlin took out a seal and walked straight to the city gate, followed by everyone.

"It's Lord Siduri's seal, so there's no problem. Are the other people refugees? If so, the market on the west side is worth a visit. You must have gone through a lot of hardships to come here. This is Uruk, A wall that will not fall until the end. Rest in peace and fight for your survival."

"...The reception is out of specification."

Mash was surprised by the enthusiasm of the guarding soldiers.

"—That being said, I'm also the gatekeeper, the guy with the cloak at the end."

The gatekeeper's tone suddenly became serious, pointing to the last row of the line, and Anna, who was wearing a hood, tensed her arms.

"Xianyu, Miss Anna's blade...!"

Matthew wants to stop Anna's behavior, but then

"No, it's not you, little girl, although there are gifts for you."

The gatekeeper took out some candies from his pocket and handed them to Anna, who looked at the candies in his palm with some doubts.

"Because it's too sweet, it's not very suitable for me. If you can eliminate it, it will be a great help."

The gatekeeper uncle smiled happily, and walked to Xian Yu's side.

"For beggars, there is a temporary refugee camp to the south of the market. Anyway, go there to have a full meal and take a bath."

The gatekeeper heartily patted Xianyu on the back.

"—I'm not a beggar!"

"Not a beggar—why dress like that?"

The gatekeeper asked in surprise, but Xian Yu turned his head away and said in a low voice: "...I think this is more handsome."

After being ridiculed by Roman and Merlin for half an hour, even Anna came to the king's room because of the raised corners of her mouth.

——The next thing is C flashing. To be honest, I feel very nervous. It is different from the conversation with Mash and the others. It is another kind of nervousness.

In the main hall, a group of people stood on the edge and watched Gilgamesh who assigned tasks almost continuously.

After an unknown amount of time, a group of people finally had the opportunity to talk to him.

"I'm back, Wang~ Although I didn't find the clay tablet, I met human rescue experts from Chaldea!"

While Xian Yu was still thinking about how to face Jin Shining, Merlin had already walked up and greeted him with a relaxed tone.

"I don't need to report this kind of thing, I understand—"

Jin Xing glanced at everyone, and at the same time nodded Matthew and Anna.

"You two, get out of here."

"but……"

Before Mash could say the words of refusal, she was invited out with a tough attitude.

"As for you—"

Although Xian Yu didn't know what he saw in the red eyes of the other party, but instinct told him: It seems that something happened to him.

"What are you!"

"It's a machine!"
