Chapter 469: The Fate of the Loser
"Lord Ishtar, we want to ask about the Trinity Alliance."
Hearing Fujimaru Rika's inquiry, Ishtar showed that it was indeed so.
"I knew it was going to be like this, so what do you want to know?"
"It's very simple what we want to know."
Walking forward, Matthew asked seriously, "Why did the goddess attack Uruk?" What are the real names of other goddesses? And who summoned you? β
"Can you please answer those questions?"
Hearing Matthew's inquiry, Ishtar did not immediately answer her question, but instead asked Matthew, "What's your name?" β
"My name is Matthew Gileadlet!"
Matthew replied earnestly.
"Matthew Gileadlet? What about you? β
Seeing Ishtar looking at him, Emiya Shirou said gently, "In the lower Emiya Shirou." β
"The other three are Rikka Fujimaru, Merlin, and Anna."
Pointing to the three people on the side, Emiya Shirou introduced Ishtar in turn.
"Emiya Shirou? Well, for your foolish sake of telling me your name, I will answer your doubts as far as I am allowed. β
Ishtar, who was bound by chains, curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and said arrogantly: "First of all, the reason why our Three Goddesses Alliance attacked Uruk is naturally to dominate this land in the future. β
"However, I am planning to dominate the human race, and the goddess of the north wants to dominate the earth, and we still have differences in these details."
"As for the other goddess of the south, what do you say? Because of the cultural differences, I can't see through that guy at all. β
"Either way, we're competing by our own rules. Whoever destroys Uruk first and gets the Holy Grail from Gilgamesh's collection will be the winner. β
"When the other two are either out of here, or they will become the gods of the victors, how about it, it's very simple!"
"Is it really related to the Holy Grail?"
Gently stroking his chin, Merlin pondered his newfound information.
"The Holy Grail?"
"Didn't Dr. Roman say that the chalice in King Gilgamesh's hand was not the grail from Solomon, the king of magic?"
Matthew looked at Merlin suspiciously.
Before heading out into the jungle to explore the situation in the city of your, Dr. Roman shared his analysis with the crowd.
That is, the chalice that Gilgamesh was holding was not the same as the one they had recovered earlier.
As a result, they suspected that the real chalice sent by Solomon, the king of magic, was in the hands of the goddesses.
But now, it seems that a new problem has arisen.
After a moment of silence, Fujimaru Rika, who didn't understand, asked again, "What about the real names of the other goddesses?" β
"There is no comment on this, in the Three Goddesses Alliance, there is a prohibition against attacking each other. We must not violate each other, nor can we get in the way of each other, and it is against the prohibition to say the real names of the other two goddesses. β
Speaking of this, Ishtar's expression suddenly became strange.
I saw her look at Emiya Shirou and said, "Just like Emiya Shirou, you won't spread the secrets of your close friends everywhere, right?" β
"Speaking ill of her behind someone's back is a shameful act for a rules-conscious goddess."
"Even if I were killed, I wouldn't have given the other two goddesses their real names, you know?"
"I see!"
Emiya Shirou nodded slightly.
Since the other party has said so, it means that this information will never be asked.
And the other party is still his future teammate, so there is no need to offend the other party to death now.
Moreover, he knows the information of the other two goddesses.
"If it's against your creed, forget it."
"Shirou-senpai?"
Looking at Emiya Shirou, who erased this matter with an understatement, although Matthew wanted to say something, he was immediately stopped by Emiya Shirou's palm.
Looking at Emiya Shirou's shaking palms, Matthew stopped talking.
She believed that Emiya Shirou must have his own reasons for doing this.
"Very well, I like noble humans."
A satisfied smile tugged at the corners of Ishtar's mouth.
"Then all that's left is 'who summoned us?'"
Ishtar paused and said with a serious expression: "I was summoned by the shrine maiden by means of a sΓ©ance. β
"But the other two goddesses were indeed attracted by the Holy Grail, and I don't know if this is a conspiracy of Solomon, the king of magic."
"These can be regarded as our expectations, the reason why the attack of the goddess Ishtar is not as fierce as the other two goddesses should also be because of the way of summoning."
After listening to all the information, Merlin said confidently.
"Goddess Ishtar, why did you join the Alliance of the Three Goddesses?"
Fujimaru Rika, who had only been an observer before, asked puzzled.
"Ha, of course it's because I'm not happy with you humans! Anyway, they are going to be killed by other goddesses, so it is better to die at my hands. β
"I've answered all your questions, so I'll ask you a question."
After expressing his opinion, Ishtar looked at Emiya Shirou and asked seriously: "You, like these guys from Chaldea, are not from this era. β
"And what is your purpose?"
"Me?"
Seeing that Ereshkigal, disguised as Ishtar, was actually asking himself, Emiya Shirou was stunned and replied seriously: "Of course, it is to defeat all the goddesses and save this world!" β
"How dare you say it!"
Ereshkigal couldn't help but laugh angrily: "And what is the reason? Since you are born with such arrogant thoughts, there must be a reason, right? β
"Why?"
Seeing that Ereshkigal cared so much about herself, Emiya Shirou suddenly wanted to tease her.
"If it's the reason, does the destiny of the brave count? The goddesses who want to destroy Uruk are undoubtedly the villains at this time, and I should not fight them as a brave man? β
"Huh? What a stupid reason for this. β
Ereshkigal's brow furrowed.
Obviously, she was not interested in Emiya Shirou's reason at all, and even found it very boring.
After all, destiny or something, it's unpleasant to think about.
"Huh, stupid?"
The corners of Emiya Shirou's mouth twitched.
"In the story biography, isn't it standard for a brave man to defeat the demon king and marry a princess?"
"It's a pity that there are no beautiful princesses in this world, only scantily dressed kings, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable."
With that, Emiya Shirou walked up to Ereshkigale, picked her chin with his fingers, and said with a smile.
"In that case, then after defeating the goddess, take her for yourself and become my battle weapon!"
"Well, this shouldn't be boring anymore!"
