Chapter 426 The days of working as a cow and horse in Uruk
The next morning.
Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka coming down from upstairs, Mashu, who was preparing breakfast, smiled and greeted:
"Good morning, Miss Gudako."
"Morning. Ha——"
Fujimaru Ritsuka responded weakly, sat down at the dining table, and couldn't help but let out a long yawn.
Seeing this, Gudafu said with concern:
"Miss Gudazi, did you not sleep well last night?"
"yes."
Fujimaru Ritsuka was a little listless, but it wasn't entirely a matter of not sleeping well.
Mainly that guy Merlin.
Due to force majeure, her true identity was seen by the other party, and she inevitably ended up at a disadvantage in the confrontation. This was what made her most depressed.
After all, who could have expected that she would suddenly have a dream, appear in front of Tiamat, and be caught by Merlin?
Damn it, if I had known she would just sleep in a cloak!
Although revealing her identity in front of Merlin actually didn't have much impact, she was a little unwilling to lose her horse in this way.
"Hey, good morning everyone~!"
At this moment, with a slightly frivolous tone, Merlin's youthful figure appeared in front of everyone and greeted everyone energetically.
"Good morning."
Gudafu responded with a smile, and then said with some novelty:
"By the way, Merlin got up very early today!"
"Because I decided to change my image starting from today and truly become a reliable big brother recognized by everyone!"
Merlin smiled positively and said:
"In other words, I have to prepare to work a little harder."
"effort?"
Anna said unceremoniously: "This word has nothing to do with Merlin, right?"
"is that so?"
Merlin scratched his head sheepishly and smiled:
"Actually, I think so myself, haha!"
"I'm not complimenting you..."
Anna looked irritated, unable to do anything about Merlin's shameless behavior.
While talking, Merlin came to the dining table and naturally sat down next to Fujimaru Ritsuka. He winked at her and said with a smile:
"Good morning, Miss Gudazi~!"
"Tsk...good morning."
Seeing the opponent's smile like a winner, Fujimaru Ritsuka reluctantly responded, with a bit of disgust in his tone.
"?"
Sensing the subtle atmosphere between the two, Gudafu and Matthew couldn't help but be a little confused, wondering what happened between them.
Seeing this, Anna asked directly:
"Miss Gudazi, did Merlin bully you?"
"Forehead……"
Fujimaru Ritsuka was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then hesitantly said:
"Although it's not bullying...how should I put it, I'm just a little unhappy..."
"I see."
Before she could finish speaking, Anna nodded solemnly. The next moment, she summoned the sickle in her hand and slashed at Merlin——
"Death, Merlin!"
"Hey, wait!"
"...I said, wasn't it said that I didn't bully her? Why do I have to do it like this!?"
"It's useless to talk!"
"Fu~!!"
Seeing this, Fufu let out an imposing cry, jumped off Mashu's shoulder, and joined the battle.
"Whoa-!"
Merlin said angrily:
"Kathy Palug, you damn beast of disaster, do you actually choose this time to add insult to injury!?"
"Fuwu——!!!"
………
Let’s get back to the point.
For the next period of time, Fujimaru Ritsuka, Gudav and his team conducted firearms training for the soldiers during the day, and at night, with the help of Merlin, they went to the Sea of Imaginary Numbers to appease Tiamat.
However, when she discovered that she could sleep even in the sea of imaginary numbers, the situation immediately improved a lot.
——It doesn’t matter. Where can I sleep?
However, in addition to training soldiers during the day, she would occasionally be called by Gilgamesh, who would unceremoniously ask her to deal with some miscellaneous things, which made her think a little bit.
"I was not treated like this before... Because I am not the protagonist in this world, are you squeezing me like this?"
"Damn it...!"
As for the protagonists, Gudav and others, after more and more soldiers learn to use firearms, their help in training is gradually no longer needed.
As a result, they began to accept various odd jobs again under the arrangement of Siduli, and gradually gained the recognition of many Uruk residents.
Perhaps due to this situation, King Gilgamesh's attitude towards them seemed to have gradually softened a lot.
Fujimaru Ritsuka briefly inquired about their work with Gudav, and learned that there seemed to be only some resentful spirits in the Uruk underground in this world, and there were no Kiyohime people, which made her a little regretful.
——Why is the situation in this world so normal!
At the same time, since that morning, although he didn’t know what the other party was doing specifically, Merlin had indeed become busier to the naked eye and began to enter and leave the tower frequently.
Seeing such a scene, not only Chaldea's group, but also Siduri and the followers were a little surprised.
Anna murmured in surprise:
"Is that Merlin really good at working hard?"
Dr. Roman couldn't help but sigh:
"Is this what is called a person's appearance? I have slightly changed my opinion of him."
Merlin smiled happily and said:
"Yes, that's right, this is the evaluation I should have. It doesn't matter if you admire me more!"
"...It's a pity that his character is still so sad."
On the other side, the first batch of soldiers who learned to use firearms have returned to the front line and began to try to use firearms in combat.
Most of the monsters currently attacking the city are Uridim, the monsters Gudav and Matthew encountered when they first arrived at the singularity.
Although it is said to be a monster, strictly speaking, the opponent still belongs to the category of living things, a category that even well-trained soldiers can barely deal with.
However, Uridim's flesh and blood body is extremely fragile in the face of modern thermal weapons.
Therefore, as soon as the firearm was put into use, it immediately achieved extremely amazing results!
After learning such news, not only Fujimaru Ritsuka, but also Gudav and his team who participated in the training received rare praise from Gilgamesh.
"Then, King, we will take our leave first."
So, Gudav and Mash finished reporting today's work to Gilgamesh again, and when they were about to leave, Gilgamesh finally stopped them——
"...No. Wait a minute, Fujimaru Ritsuka."
"Eh?"
Gudafu was stunned for a moment, and looked back at Gilgamesh in surprise. Mashu on the side said in surprise:
"The king just called the senior's name!"
"yes……!"
"So what if I scream?"
Looking at Gudafu and Mash under the throne, Gilgamesh raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "If there is value in shouting, you will naturally shout. This is common sense."
Then, he raised his lips and said:
"Your performance is quite good, right? Many Uruk citizens have praised your work, and they have all reached this king."
"Although in my opinion these are boring contents, we must also consider the world's evaluation."
"But you must be tired of doing those tedious chores, right?"
"So--!"
Although to be honest, they were quite happy, but when he heard Gilgamesh's words, Gudafu's eyes lit up and he vaguely understood what the other party meant.
Finally, Gilgamesh waved his hand and said with a bold smile: "Get ready to show off your skills, Chaldea!"
