Chapter 3: The Troubles of the Wild Goose Night
Those who are familiar with the heroic king Gilgamesh know that such an attitude is already a great gift. Even the former lord Tosaka Tokitomi had to be cautious in his words and deeds in front of him, and if he was not satisfied, he would reprimand him sharply, how could he let Rin mock him in front of him like he was now, and he didn't look angry at all.
But Rin didn't appreciate this, as if looking at him with the eyes of a fool.
"Shine for you? I can't stand it, you narcissist. β
"There's no way around it. β
Gilgamesh is not ashamed of Rin's taunts, but is proud.
"Everything in the world will be bleak before this king. β
"Oh, is that really the case? I remember the legend says that you had a best friend who would look dim in front of you?"
"Enki is the king's best friend, the same as the king himself, and in Uruk even children know the truth. However, for the current mongrel, it doesn't seem to be worth the high expectations. β
"Yes, yes, you are reasonable, always reasonable, now reasonable, will be reasonable, always reasonable!"
Rin said this quote from a foreign movie in the 70s, and the original words are "Mussolini, always justified, justified now, justified in the future, justified forever!" to satirize Italian Prime Minister Benito Mussolini, one of the leaders of the Axis powers, who did anything to wage war.
Gilgamesh didn't know the allusion, and although he saw that Rin's attitude was wrong, he still listened to it as a compliment.
"It's good that you know. Paying homage to the majesty of the king is the highest entertainment in the world. You can keep an eye on this king, and this king will be imprinted in your heart until the moment of the destruction of the planet. β
"No, this guy is hopeless. Rin almost collapsed.
"Alright, that's all for the idle gossip, it's up to you to summon this king instead of Shi Chenβis he no longer there?"
"Yes. Speaking of his father, Rin's face showed obvious loneliness.
"When, how?"
"Five years ago, sick. Since the end of the last Holy Grail War, his health has been poor, and he has become weaker and weaker...... My mother and I tried everything we could to cure him, and we couldn't find the cause......"
"That's right. Although he is a courtier who is not very successful, he will first allow this king to mourn. Gilgamesh's eyelids drooped and he was silent for almost a minute, "The last Holy Grail War King didn't stand until the end, so I don't know the reason for his illness. However, since his cause is related to the Holy Grail War, this king is also responsible as a king - the woman standing there is your mother, and Shi Chen has her picture on his desk. β
"The surviving Aoi Tosaka. Aoi performed a very standard Japanese etiquette.
"Very good, Shi Chen's wife should have such a bearing. Gilgamesh nodded in satisfaction, "From now on, you and your daughter will be protected by this king, and in the name of the hero king Gilgamesh, no one will harm you." β
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Aoi saluted again.
Rin pouted unhappily: "What king, this is what a servant should do." β
"No courtesy. β
Gilgamesh didn't pay attention to Rin's words, and turned his gaze to Aoi's back, the man who had retreated into the corner.
"Isn't this the master of the rabid dog? β
The cold killing intent invaded Yan Ye's body, making him feel tingling all over his body. But this pain did not give him a succumb, and he stood stubbornly, looking directly at Gilgamesh.
"Long time no see, Babylonian hero king. β
At this moment he remembered the pinnacle and most exciting battle of his life, and he remembered the knight who was sick with him.
"Where's that mad dog? isn't it? So you're not standing here as a master? So who gave you the courage to look at this king with such eyes?
The moment the word "mongrel" came out, Yan Ye's body seemed to have been violently impacted, and blood oozed from the nostrils and corners of his mouth, but just like that, he still straightened his waist. Now he represents not only one of them, but also the knight who fought for him, Lancelot.
"Goose Night!"
"Uncle Yanye!"
Aoi and Rin exclaimed at the same time, and the undisguised anxiety caused Gilgamesh's eyes to narrow.
"Your reaction...... Interesting, interesting - this man was one of the masters of the last Holy Grail War and an enemy of the Shichen. This king died at the hands of his servants, and knowing this, do you still want to protect him?"
"We've known these things for a long time. β
Rin moved a few steps sideways, stopping between Gilgamesh and Yanye, "Father and Uncle Yanya didn't hide it from us, and my father entrusted me and my mother to Uncle Yanya's care when he was dying. β
"Oh, that Shi Chen would make such a decision, it seems that his pedantic brain has finally become a little more flexible. Gilgamesh was a little surprised, and quickly turned into a smile, "Forget it, Shi Chen himself doesn't care, and there is no need for this king to meddle in things, just let you go." You just do your duty to take care of them and don't do anything superfluous - that mad dog's tactics against this king are not something you can decorate, and the mad dog's own chaotic brain can't think so complicatedly, there must be someone behind you. β
Yanye's mouth moved, and before he could speak, Gilgamesh continued.
"There is no need to answer, this king already knows the answer. Is that guy still here? Will it show up this time?"
Yan Ye didn't even move his mouth this time, as if he was wearing a mask, but this mask did not hinder Gilgamesh.
"Very well, it seems that this Holy Grail War will not be boring. Tell the clown who is hiding - if there is any means for him to use it, no matter what means he uses, this king will defeat him and win the final victory. β
The words of the Hero King were so unquestionable, and his attitude was so proud, that pride, that dazzling brilliance almost made Yan Ye think that the victory ten years ago seemed to be a dream.
Can his own nephew really defeat such an existence?
Ten years ago, he and Shi Chen didn't take themselves and Lancelot seriously, so they had a chance to win, and even this was just a lose-lose and doomed ending.
Now, he is ready, if Shinji still deals with it according to the old way, I'm afraid he won't have any chance of winning.
No, Shinji must be told the news immediately. Butβcould this be Gilgamesh's ploy, he's waiting for me to do it.
And Aoi and Rin, what will they think of me if I do this?
Damn, what the hell am I going to do?
At this moment, Yan Ye realized the meaning of the phrase "strongest", which was a sense of oppression that he had never experienced ten years ago.
The subtle changes in the face of the once enemy did not escape Gilgamesh's gaze, and he seemed to be very interested in the distress on the man's face, and the bright red eyes of the hero king shone with pleasure.
