I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes

"Well..." Gil bit into the popsicle, "Xiao Hei, let me ask you a question."

"Brother Gil, what do you want to know~" Xiao Hei seemed to be in a good mood and asked.

"Have you ever resented your parents?" Jill's question made Xiao Hei fall into silence.

The air fell into silence, leaving only the sound of the wind.

"Well..." After a long time, Xiao Hei's voice sounded, "I did hate my mother who sealed me."

"Do you mean Irisviel von Einzbern?" Gil asked.

"Yeah... Brother Gil knows about mother?"

"Well, compared to other worlds, Irisviel in this world is considered happy." Gil bit off a piece of popsicle, "Do you want to know your mother's story in other worlds?"

"One of the cyborgs created by Irisviel von Einzbern based on Rizlech Justeisa von Einzbern.

Although the purpose of Einzbern's artificial human has been determined at the design stage, her body and spirit will be produced in the best condition according to the purpose... because her identity is - everyone is fighting for it in the Holy Grail War. The Little Holy Grail. "Gill said expressionlessly, ignoring Xiao Hei who hadn't said whether he would listen or not.

"...Little Holy Grail..." Xiao Hei was in a daze.

The so-called Little Holy Grail is something like the "universal wishing machine".The Great Holy Grail is the foundation that maintains the entire Holy Grail War, and also bears the ultimate goal of the Holy Grail War.

"Well, the Little Holy Grail." Gil nodded, "In that world, Irisviel is already dead."

"Then there was another Holy Grail War, and two me appeared. One was Archer who was left behind ten years ago. By the way, he was an older chuunibyou with a terrible personality..." Gil said this while pausing for a moment. , "Xiao Hei, don't look at me with that look. I'm not talking about myself... No, it seems like I am talking about myself... Well, forget it, anyway, who was the Little Holy Grail in that war? "

Jill looked at Xiao Hei, "Do you want to know?"

Xiao Hei opened his mouth, "Could it be..."

"Well, it's Illya." Gil's words made Xiao Hei's pupils shrink.

"If Emiya Kiritsugu and Irisviel had chosen to participate in the Holy Grail War, then Irisviel would have died, Emiya Kiritsugu would have died... or even..." Gil stared with red eyes. Looking at Xiao Hei, "You will die too."

"Sometimes, parents' bad treatment of their children is not necessarily a bad treatment of their children. It may also be a kind of protection..." Jill said, stopping in her tracks.

They had arrived in front of the park at this moment.

"Now, it's right there," Gil said. "Would you like to go take a look?"

Xiao Hei followed Jill's gaze and his amber pupils shrank.

In the direction of Jill's gaze, there was a silver-haired figure standing there.

The moonlight fell, adding a bit of dreamlike beauty to the silver-haired figure.

She has a face that is too beautiful and neat, like a doll, ruby-red eyes, long silver hair that shines like snow, and is wearing a purple dress and a white skirt that are not often seen in Fuyuki City.

At this moment, she was looking at Xiao Hei next to Jill.

"Oh, it's Illya-chan... No, it should be Chloe-chan..." Irisviel looked at Xiao Hei and smiled.

"How could it be...Brother Gil..." Xiao Hei looked at Gil, "You..."

"It's okay, I just want you to meet me... I'm not a tyrant. My priority over things like interests is the emotions of the people around me."

Gil touched Xiao Hei's little head and said, "If you don't want to go back, that's okay, I'll always welcome you here."

"And you've always wanted to meet your mother, haven't you?"

"No... no!" Xiao Hei retorted loudly, "I'm just an abandoned, abandoned, and unwanted person!"

After Xiao Hei said these words, his clothes suddenly changed and turned into the red and black somewhat revealing outfit.

She picked up two knives and threw them at Irisviel.

"Fire!" Another voice rang, and a magical light shot down the black and white swords.

"What are you doing!" The voice belonged to a girl with a cute face like a doll.

If you look carefully, the girl and Xiao Hei look exactly the same. The only slight differences are skin color, hair color and eye color.

"Illya?" Gil was a little surprised. Shouldn't Irisviel be the only one appearing here tonight?

"Why do you want to attack mom?" Illya asked as she stood in front of Irisviel.

"Yes, Mom...the good mother who sealed me away ten years ago!" Xiao Hei said with anger, "The mother who sealed me away, abandoned me, and completely denied me ten years ago!"

After Xiao Hei said this, he turned around and quickly fled the scene.

"..." Jill was silent for a long time, and then he sighed, "As for Xiao Hei, I'll go over there and give you some advice. It seems like she won't accept you so quickly."

After saying that, Gil turned around, and then looked back as if he remembered something, "Speaking of this... Illya, if you don't understand or understand anything, then ask your mother - —That’s all.”

After Gil said this, he turned around.

As he expected, Xiao Hei would not accept Irisviel immediately...

After all it is quite normal.

At this time, the voice of the phone rang.

"...Who could it be? Tohsaka Rin or Luvia?" Gil muttered and took out his phone.

……

When Gil returned home, he found that there were no Xiao Hei's shoes in the entrance hall, and he frowned.

"Enkidu, hasn't Xiao Hei come back?" Gil asked.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Enkidu asked.

"...No, it's okay." Jill said, "I'll go out for a while."

Isn't Xiao Hei here?

Gil frowned, and the Omniscient Star turned on, so he sighed.

"What a kid..." Jill sighed.

If other people saw this scene, they would definitely complain, "You are a kid too, right?"

After all, Jill's current physical age is only ten years old, and she looks about the same age as Illya and the others.

Knowing the target he wanted to find, Gil didn't stop, opened the door and left again.

2 Persuasion

Gil released the Hermes Boots and flew into the air.

He is very fast because the Hermes Boots have the property that "the higher the user's agility, the faster they fly". (ps1)

Jill came to the place where Xiao Hei was caught by them that day——

That's the forest.

Jill landed and took steps.Shoes make a rustling sound when stepping on the ground, and occasionally there is a "click" sound of breaking branches.

Such sounds in the forest at night are unavoidably creepy.

But Jill remained unmoved by this and kept walking forward.

"Xiao Hei - I know, you are angry with me, right?" Gil paused and then said.

Jill's eyes were facing the big tree.

There was also a rope on the branch, which seemed to be the tree that Illya was tied to that day.

The air was very quiet, and Jill could hear besides his own breathing, the faint and rapid breathing.

"…Then, listen to me."

Jill exhaled.

Xiao Hei has a very naughty temperament. Just now, Jill could sense that Xiao Hei had expressed aggrieved and unhappy atmosphere.

Xiaohei now based on Jill's hearing, was behind the big tree.

"Xiao Hei, for a person, the people who know him (her) best in the world, apart from friends and lovers, must be his (her) family.

Irisviel sealed the past you just to let you live a better life. Not only did she not mean to abandon you, but it was precisely to express her love for you, whether it is Xiao Hei or Illya. , she is deeply in love. "

After a long silence, Xiao Hei's aggrieved voice rang out, "Then why... I can't do it? Why do I have to be sealed?"

"I also hope to have a peaceful life. I also hope to live like a normal person. I also know that my mother is doing it for my own good. Why...why do I, who only have the memory of the Holy Grail War, have to be sealed? Could it be that I have to be sealed? With this memory, can't I live like an ordinary girl?"

"..." Gil was silent for a long time and sighed, "Magicians are a group of lunatics who do whatever it takes to reach the source. The magic world is a bloody and crazy world. You are the huge victim created by this world. !”

"Do you know what Illya said to me in that parallel world? I just said, 'Einzbern protected you so well,' but what she said to me was--

'What everyone is protecting is just Einzbern's work, and they are just protecting the Little Holy Grail! '-What a joke! "

There was unconcealable anger in Jill's voice, "Having a personality, being able to laugh, and cry, this is not what a human being is! If you are a parent, would you be willing to let your child bear the burden of 'I am just a tool created' 'Is this idea going to last a lifetime!?"

"But...don't I also exist in that memory? I have gained a personality in this memory, so am I not the one who was abandoned?"

"Then aren't you also Ilia?" Gil said, "Didn't you say that you are also Ilia?"

"But..." Xiao Hei was about to say something, but was interrupted by Jill.

"It's nothing, right? If you are Illya, Irisviel is also your family, and you should also have that happiness. You are denying yourself now! Denying that you can have that happiness!"

"If you regard yourself as a fake who just carries that painful memory, that sadness..." Jill's tone became a little softer, "then, Xiao Hei, you are really too pathetic..."

"And think about it, Rin and Luvia's mission is to recover the Class card. After they knew that Archer's Class card was in your body, they helped you hide it. They are also doing it for you. For your sake! Your current idea makes everyone feel so embarrassed!"

"not like this……"

"Xiao Hei, if fate allows your memory to have a personality and also allows you to appear, then fate will naturally tell you that you have the meaning of living and the right to live!

If you deny the meaning of your existence... then Xiao Hei, you, the original Illya, aren't you too pitiful? "

"I know that you are originally Illya, but if you really become like that in the parallel world..." Gil opened his mouth, was silent for a moment and then spoke again, "If that Illya didn't meet me, then That Illya will die - no one will remember her anymore... I also know that it is very hard for you, and it is very hard for you to replenish your magic power if you want to exist in this world..."

"But now your real family, the real happiness within your reach is right in front of you -" Jill sighed, "Are you going to really use your hands to hold this happiness, or are you What if you want to give up the happiness that is within your reach and give it up?”

"..." After a long silence, Xiao Hei spoke up again, this time with a cry in his voice, "Am I really worthy of this happiness... I'm just... a fake... …”

"You're not... you have a personality, an independent body, and a sense of self - in this case, aren't you a human being? Of course Xiao Hei is a human being. Aren't all human beings able to pursue their own happiness?"

After Gil finished speaking, he quietly waited for Xiao Hei's reaction.

Xiao Hei sobbed. She stood up and walked out from behind the tree. Her amber eyes were still tearful and her eyes were still red and swollen.

Jill breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, Xiao Hei, you are finally willing to come out."
