Claire hesitated to speak, looking a little disappointed.

When I read the book before, I couldn't help substituting myself into the protagonist Gilgamesh...

And Enkidu was imagined by her to be Rhine.

If it was Rhine who died in her arms, she would definitely go crazy - right!

"Friends..." People's hearts became a little heavy, and they all murmured.

The little princess who is naturally sentimental began to cry again.

She can't accept any sad things, but she especially likes to read Hans Christian Andersen's epics.

So this time, he was willing to enter the set again.

Even if her eyes were swollen from crying and the pain was unbearable, she would admit it, and now she must cry!

She is not happy, she wants to vent her emotions!

On the other side, Hermetos in the bookstore didn't say a word, and finally sighed.

He took off the hat on his head, as if paying his last respects for the end of the hero.

Even if it's not human...

Enkidu, who was made of clay by gods and man made by gods, still adores and admires him.

He likes heroes, not only human heroes, but also those like Enkidu.

It is precisely because of love that I feel extremely sorry for the ending of a hero.

If Enkidu hadn't died, with his god-created blood, he should be able to live longer...

Then he might have a chance to meet this sky lock!However--

……

'How, how sinful I am.Knowing weakness, but never introspecting this weakness.

Knowing the strength, but never admitting that strength.He should not have any understanding.

For him, only by maintaining his own aloofness is the greatest sincerity he can show.

But I smeared his reservedness with stains and flaws that could never be removed.

The rain gradually subsided.I also slowly returned to the original posture - soil clods and gravel in the wilderness.

In the end, the only thing that remained in my ears was the king's mournful cry that resounded through the heaven and earth like a thunderstorm.

My memory ends here.I am the regret that has vanished from the world.

After this, your future.It is the story of you, a human being, who is different from me. '

With the consciousness of Enkidu, he finally disappeared completely.

There are also no fragments in the epic about Enkidu's perspective.

At this time, many people recalled that the conversation between Enkidu and Gilgamesh not long after the crusade against Humbaba seemed to be the last communication from the perspective of Enkidu that appeared in the story.

And at this moment, before Enkidu died, they knew what Gilgamesh's last words were——

——The words that touched Enkidu, as if they illuminated the world, the night sky, and the stars——it was [friend]!

Simple two words, but seem to weigh a thousand weights!People will always remember that existence.

The last fragment of this page of the epic, that writes, describes 'him'.

【—Once upon a time, there was a man.

He was a foolish guy who wanted to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Son of God even though his body was made of clay.

His ignorant arrogance naturally offended the gods in the sky, and the man was punished by the gods and lost his life.

The way he died with tears streaming down his face, the King of Heroes still can't forget it.

Why are you crying, the King of Heroes asked at the time.Have you regretted standing on my side until now?

not like this--

So he answered.

"After I die, who else will understand you? Who else will accompany you on your journey? My friend... I can't help but cry at the thought that you will live alone in the future..."

In this way, when he saw the man take his last breath, the king realized that the way of life of this man who was human but wanted to surpass human beings was more precious and more dazzling than all the treasures he had collected. 】

From Enkidu's own point of view, and God's point of view——

The epic completely restored the image of the hero to people.

It was clearly mentioned twice that he was jealous and wanted to be on par with his brother Gilgamesh, but this insignificant shortcoming—has long been suppressed by his more shining personality charm.

People have long been attracted by him, but Enkidu, who is the protagonist of the story, doesn't know it at all.

'Why do you have to belittle yourself at the end of death? !Why envy Gilgamesh!Enkidu—you have become a true hero! ’ Hermetos groaned for it.

What you expected has already been achieved, and you have already stood shoulder to shoulder with Gilgamesh!

Aren't you the one who brought down Humbaba with Gilgamesh?
