"It's a pity this isn't an open area," Enkidu brought up out of nowhere.
Everyone was a bit confused. But Gilgash understood as a smile appearing on his lips.
"Though it's a pity, this place can serve as an area to catch our breath." The King of Heroes spoke with a smile, lacking his previous unrestrained arrogance.
The corners of Enkidu's mouth also curled up.
...
Gilgash changed his mind about going back.
He sat down once again.
Enkidu naturally sat on Gilgash's right side. There was an indescribable tacit understanding between the two.
Even just sitting down together, their movents subconsciously left room for each other.
Yuto looked surprised.
At the sa ti, he felt moved inwardly. He roughly knew Gilgash and Enkidu were friends, but this level of subconscious understanding... perhaps only the closest of people would have it.
Moreover, one of them was the proud King of Heroes.
Ever since he entered the restaurant, this was his first ti showing such proactive yielding.
"Do you want to eat anything?" Yuto asked.
Both shook their heads at the sa ti, like twins.
"Hmph!" Gilgash scoffed lightly.
Listening to his tone, there wasn't any annoyance in it, instead, it carried clear joy.
Enkidu smiled softly at Gilgash, shaking his head in the exact sa way.
"Alright, if you need anything, just call ." Yuto figured the current ti should be given to these two. Enkidu nodded at him with a smile.
Yuto walked over to Iskandar and Ainz's side.
These guys were also observing Gilgash and Enkidu. Each had their own different feelings.
But the surprise was mutual.
"It's hard to imagine the King of Heroes would have such a normal side. His attitude is so different from before!"
Though Iskandar sighed quietly, his voice was naturally rough.
Even what he considered a whisper was actually the volu of a normal person speaking.
Gilgash naturally heard it. He turned his head and glanced at him.
He didn't say anything, just gave Iskandar a warning look. Then he moved his gaze back to Enkidu.
Iskandar looked awkward. "Was I loud just now?" He smiled sheepishly at Yuto, Ainz, and the others.
Everyone nodded in unison.
Iskandar scratched his head awkwardly.
Enkidu looked at Gilgash with a gentle smile on his lips. "Gil, it seems ti has finally made you a bit more mature."
Hearing Enkidu's words, a clear look of pride appeared on Gilgash's face.
Enkidu's words pleased him!
He always enjoyed the admiring and reverent gazes of others. Among them, the one that brought him joy and satisfaction was solely Enkidu's praise.
If the praise of others brought him joy at 1, 1, 1.
Then Enkidu's praise gave him 10, 20, 30...
"Hmph! That's natural." Gilgash looked like a child who wanted to show off after being praised.
Enkidu smiled and shook his head lightly.
"It seems after becoming a Heroic Spirit, you've gained so self-awareness different from usual too, Enkidu." Gilgash looked at Enkidu pointedly.
Enkidu didn't say anything, just smiled calmly.
He reminded people of pure nature. The tranquil and beautiful nature was just like the posture he displayed.
Siduri standing behind them also wore a joyful smile.
Countless mories flashed through her eyes.
Those pasts that shouldn't be seen again had finally shed their illusionary nature and turned into reality.
"Kamisaka, I'm taking Enkidu to Uruk." Gilgash turned to look at Yuto, who was talking with Lucoa and the other dragons.
His words carried firm certainty. He didn't give Yuto any room to refuse.
Beside him, Enkidu smiled helplessly at Yuto.
"Of course, I'm not an unreasonable person. Consider this a gift for my request, and as an apology for my earlier behavior." Gilgash waved his hand, and a precious treasure chest was placed in front of Yuto.
Made entirely of gold, an inlaid clear ruby sat on top.
The box alone held imasurable value!
Yuto opened the box.
It was full of gems.
This was much more than the treasure the King of Heroes had given just now. Even the others couldn't help but marvel at this chest of gems.
"Please be sure to accept this, Kamisaka, and please forgive Gil's rudeness." Enkidu bowed to Yuto.
His words drew dissatisfaction from the King of Heroes beside him, but the glare didn't affect him.
Yuto understood.
The King of Heroes before him couldn't just be described as "not lacking money."
Casually handing over a chest of gems... it wasn't sothing a re rich person could compare to!
Yuto agreed to the King of Heroes' request.
Then the two left together as Siduri followed them. Before leaving, Siduri bowed to Yuto.
Yuto looked at this chest of gems, experiencing the worries of the rich for the first ti.
'Where... should I put this?'
...
Outside the city of Uruk.
Gilgash and Enkidu stood together under the starry sky.
Their expressions were much more relaxed now than in the restaurant.
"As expected, a simple conversation can't express my joyful mood right now!" Gilgash opened his arms as if embracing the world.
Standing opposite him, the corners of Enkidu's mouth curled into a smile.
The person who was usually as gentle as nature now radiated a dangerous and violent aura.
"Hahahaha!!! That's it!!! Enkidu!!! Co and entertain to your heart's content!!!!"
Hum, hum, hum—
In the sky, countless golden ripples appeared.
Countless magic staves protruded from them, all gathering dangerous magic blasts!
"I'm thinking the sa thing! Gil!"
Accompanied by a loud shout, countless explosions erupted!
At this mont, the King of Heroes and his best friend were engaged in a life-and-death battle!
...
After Gilgash and Enkidu left the restaurant, Iskandar put down his wine glass and left.
Since Lord El-lloi II and Gilgash left, the people Iskandar could chat with had all dispersed.
So it was better for him to leave as well.
After Iskandar left, Ainz and Rimuru went back to gaming mode.
The skeleton and the sli pulled out their handheld consoles and started tapping away at the rhythm ga.
Watching Ainz nimbly tap the buttons with his bones and Rimuru split off sli to press the console... Yuto felt a bit weird.
This scene felt discordant!
Especially with Saitama, a normal human, watching from the side.
That sense of discordance only grew stronger.
"By the way, there's a new ga recently. It similar to the ga you played before, Ainz."
Watching them play made Yuto think of the ga Asuna ntioned.
He figured since the trio liked gaming, he'd bring it up. The ga he referred to was the one Ainz played before transmigrating.
Now Ainz had transmigrated as his ga avatar.
Hearing Yuto's words, the trio got excited.
Ainz put down his console as he raised his skull head to look at Yuto.
"Kamisaka, please be sure to buy it! I'm begging you!" Ainz clapped his hand bones together.
His whole skeletal body bowed to Yuto!
Yuto sighed helplessly.
He hadn't even said what the ga was yet.
'Is it really okay to be this decisive...?'
"Boss! Please!!!" Rimuru had never played a Vrmmo ga.
He'd only heard of them before transmigrating. Now that Yuto ntioned it, the sli was excited!
"If possible, please buy one for too." Saitama smiled at Yuto.
Even though he wasn't interested in manga or light novels.
When it ca to gas, he had his own pursuits!
"I say, you guys don't even know what ga it is. Is it really okay to be so decisive?" Yuto said to the three.
"No, Kamisaka, you don't understand. Exploring and unlocking a brand new ga is an interesting thing in itself! It's because it's unknown that we're full of anticipation! It's because it's unknown that we yearn for it! That's the passion a true gar should have!" Ainz's passionate speech left Yuto stunned.
'Is this a veteran gaming otaku taking over?!'
"That's right, that's right! Exactly!!!" Rimuru felt moved.
Maybe Ainz's words hit a sweet spot for Rimuru, who was also an otaku.
Only Saitama remained calm, but he still looked at Yuto full of expectation.
"However, we still need to hear about the core ga genre." Ainz changed his tune.
He dropped the impassioned tone and switched to a serious one.
If a passerby heard him, they'd think Ainz was about to conduct important research.
Yuto couldn't help but chuckle.
Ainz's serious deanor was funny. In contrast, this terrifying skeletal body beca the biggest punchline.
Yuto composed himself and told the three the info about SAO.
He didn't know much either. Most of what he knew ca from Utaha.
After the trio finished listening, Ainz was silent, while Rimuru and Saitama were just excited.
After all, neither of them had played such a high-end ga, it was normal to be excited.
Ainz was a veteran, so he wouldn't get that worked up.
"A ga without magic... I wonder if that won't suit ." Ainz rubbed his jawbone with his hand bones.
He was thinking about this question seriously.
"It's fine! Let's just play it first and see." Rimuru said to Ainz.
Ainz nodded in realization. "You're right! Why think so much? Let's just play it first!"
This was a standard gaming otaku!
"Do we need to buy that VR equipnt?" Saitama was the first to focus on a practical issue.
Although he liked playing gas, he still had his reason.
Funds were a big problem bothering him.
"Yes." Yuto nodded.
"How much?"
"300,000 yen."
Hearing this number, Saitama's face fell.
300,000 yen.
Saitama had to think for a long ti even for 3,000 yen!
Yuto rembered that Saitama was there when Asuna talked about SAO.
But looking at his reaction now, it was safe to say he hadn't paid any attention to what Asuna said at the ti.
