Chapter 456 Rest, conversation, banquet...death?
"That being said, it is true..."
The same goes for Gudav and Mashu. After hearing Fujimaru Ritsuka's words, they instantly felt strong hunger, so they happily nodded in agreement.
Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and said:
"Then let's go eat together."
"Fu~!"
Seeing this, Anna on the side did not speak, but followed silently.
The four of them came to a restaurant. Gudafu and others had completed a commission from the owner of this restaurant and were very familiar with the place. So as soon as the four of them entered the door, they were warmly received by the owner.
"It's Fujimaru, please come in! I'll give you a 10% discount, haha!"
Hearing this, Gudafu also responded happily:
"Thank you, boss!"
And this kind of warm reception finally gave them a real sense of temporarily returning to peace.
The food was quickly put on the table, and the hungry people ignored the small talk and devoured their food like a wind and a cloud.
Finally filling his stomach, Fujimaru Ritsuka put his hands on the table, squinted his eyes slightly, and sighed with satisfaction:
"I'm alive——!"
Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka's appearance, Gudav and Mashu couldn't help but smile at each other.
Then, Matthew seemed to have thought of something, and asked curiously:
"Speaking of which, it was Miss Gudazi who helped everyone and allowed everyone to retreat safely, right?"
"Of course, what's the situation?"
"This..."
Hearing Mashu's words, Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and briefly described the situation at that time.
As expected, Guddav and Matthew became curious about the secret weapon she used against the Gorgons.
"Secret weapon..."
However, seeing that she had no intention of actively explaining, Gudafu and Matthew did not continue to delve deeper, but just hid their curiosity deep in their hearts.
After all, Miss Gudazi has enough unsolved mysteries, including this one.
After finishing their meal, the four of them left the restaurant and prepared to return to the Chaldean Embassy. However, at this moment, Anna, who had been silent next to her, suddenly spoke to Fujimaru Ritsuka:
"Um...Miss Gudazi, can I talk to you?"
"Eh?"
Hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka was a little surprised, but quickly reacted, nodded and smiled: "Of course."
So Anna nodded slightly to Gudav and Mashu, and took Fujimaru Ritsuka in another direction.
"That, senior,"
Looking at the two people leaving, Matthew asked Gudafu:
"Has Miss Anna behaved a little strangely since she came back? She seems to care about Miss Gudazi?"
This is already quite a euphemism.
In fact, during the time they were acting together, Anna's glances at Fujimaru Ritsuka could only be described as 'frequent', and the emotions in her eyes were also very complex.
This made Matthew a little curious, wondering what happened between the two during this period?
“Perhaps it’s because Miss Gudazi saved the other party?”
Guddav tried to make a guess, not knowing much about it.
But rather than being curious, he still felt a little pity.
Because, he actually wanted to talk to Fujimaru Ritsuka, but he didn't expect that Anna got there first.
"In that case, let's go back first."
"Yeah."
——
Anna and Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't go far, but stopped when they came to a slightly remote alley.
Then, Anna looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka, and after a moment of silence, she slowly said:
"...Miss Gudazi, do you also recognize my real name?"
"Of course."
"...Then, aren't you afraid of me?"
Unlike inhuman beings like Merlin and Ishtar, Fujimaru Ritsuka is a human who lived in the same era as Gudafu and others. One of the reasons why she does not want to reveal her real name in front of Gudafu and others is that she is worried The other party will be afraid of her as a monster.
"Hey, is this the question you want to ask?" However, after hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka was a little surprised, and then said with a smile: "Of course not, after all, we are companions!"
"Companion...is this like this..."
Looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka's smiling face, Anna finally breathed a sigh of relief and then became thoughtful.
"Is this okay?"
At this time, Fujimaru Ritsuka asked with a smile: "I thought you wanted to ask about what happened just now."
"!"
When mentioning this matter, Anna reacted instantly, and then whispered a little shyly:
"...I also want to ask that question, that is--"
"Why does Miss Gudazi have a sister's voice?"
This is right!
Fujimaru Ritsuka laughed and explained in a familiar manner: "Actually, just like Gilgamesh and I, Stheno and Euryale and I also have some connections, and we can be considered friends."
"Do you know the sisters...?"
However, after hearing her say this, Anna's tone became a little suspicious.
Because she knew all too well how much her two sisters hated treating them as monsters, persecuting them, and wanting to tear them apart as humans.
Not to mention making friends with humans...
Sensing Anna's suspicion, Fujimaru Ritsuka quickly reacted, holding her chin in embarrassment and said: "Speaking of which, this is indeed not easy to prove. Let me think about it..."
"Well, how about this."
As if thinking of something, Fujimaru Ritsuka snapped his fingers and smiled at Anna:
"Do you want to meet them?"
"...?!!!"
——
Night.
As expected, the Chaldean Embassy was brightly lit, and everyone gathered together, raising their glasses high.
"Cheers——!" And Miss Siduri, even Ishtar came.
No, to be precise, it was Ereshkigal who borrowed Ishtar's body and was able to operate on the surface.
According to the other party, Ishtar started sleeping in broad daylight anyway and her body didn’t need it, so she borrowed it temporarily.
but--
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."
Because the movement of raising the cup was too big, Ereshkigal's expression twisted together due to the sudden pain.
"Damn it...what is going on with this body? Why is it so sore all over and my chest is a little tight...!"
"I remember the injury wasn't very serious?!"
Siduli smiled and explained:
"After all, what you and Lord Ishtar are possessing right now is just the body of a human girl. The strength of the body is naturally very different from that of a god, so please be careful when moving around."
"hateful……!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the scene in front of him with a smile, then glanced around the room and sighed:
"It's a pity that King Gilgamesh is the only one left, but he is very busy now, right?"
"indeed,"
Siduli replied:
"Because the time for the decisive battle has been confirmed ten days later, Wang is now urgently allocating resources and adjusting various combat plans, so he is busier than usual."
Gudafu on the side couldn't help but sigh:
"The king is really busy."
It is hard to believe that King Gilgamesh, who appears to be so wise today, would have been a famous cruel tyrant when he was young.
"But is this really okay?"
After hearing their conversation, Ereshkigal said:
"After all, that guy was just exhausted yesterday, right?"
"...Eh!?"×n
