Crossover Anime: I, Shirou Kotomine, King of Uruk

Chapter 169 First Encounter with Chaldea

In a cedar forest, Kingu was leading the two Chaldea members forward.

But at this moment, the two ladies from Chaldea had already realized the danger they were in.

Master Fujimaru Ritsuka and her Servant Mash.

These two beautiful young women are the protagonists of Chaldea, and they are also the ones who have come to save the world.

It all started with that first big explosion.

Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was originally ranked last in the existing Master sequence, or forty-eighth, became the final Master.

The other forty-seven Masters were all severely injured by the enemies lurking in Chaldea.

Only Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was disliked by the director at the time and expelled from key operations, escaped unscathed.

Ultimately, she signed a contract with Mash, who was also severely injured in the explosion.

Since then, as representatives of Chaldea and the last Masters of humanity, they have overcome one obstacle after another and finally arrived here.

For you, protecting the bad Master is still the most important thing, not Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Therefore, you can only experience it for yourself.

"So, who exactly is he!?"

Upon hearing Enkidu's question, Mash immediately felt embarrassed.

Moreover, the fact that Kotomine was able to hold out for half a year against the Eight Gods' retreat even after all my cities were destroyed shows that our strength is definitely very weak.

You have to do what the other person says.

Looking around at her surroundings, Mash, as a Servant, muttered to herself.

But the Uruklang of this time is no longer the same person I once was.

Or perhaps you were simply talking to yourself.

You don't really know how to answer either.

After all, you are facing a minor crisis that could destroy the world, as well as various beings who have been famous but not known in history.

"But!" Master Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had been silent until now, interjected, "That direction seems to be far away from Kotomine!"

And the purpose of this king, Anna-Gamish, whom we have never met.

You didn't feel the same way.

Urukron and Gil had never met, nor had they ever fought.

"Your name is Mash Kyrielight. That's Mr. Enkidu."

Or rather, if the other party hadn't been Enkidu, they would have expressed their doubts long ago.

"Is he/she lost? How lucky."

Because that allows me to realize how much I've actually grown during that period.

"That's a cedar forest! Legend has it that it's the place guarded by the monster Humbaba. It's probably east of Kotomine, across the Tigrais River, in the Zagros Mountains."

That made the two of them believe in my purpose.

Upon hearing Jill's response, Mash's expression immediately became rather strange.

That's not my plan.

Before catching up with the two from Chaldea, we retreated into disguise and then appeared there.

"You are victims, lost on an unfamiliar road as they see. Just when you were lamenting that your head would only be a meal for monsters, you encountered them. You are indeed very lucky."

I didn't care at all that my lie was flawless.

All eight of them wore hoods, concealing parts of their faces.

After all, the two from Chaldea hadn't saved eight such worlds yet, and in the last world they even faced off against a god-like being.

"Although you can imagine how tiring it might be for them, just keep going, it starts once they get through that forest."

"Oh, well..."

The only ones I care about are these two from Chaldea.

Rather than purely human.

Realizing the other person was complex, you cooperated with their actions.

Therefore, Uruklang's hood had to be made small.

Even though Uruklang had concealed himself perfectly, my fighting spirit was not growing stronger at this moment.

We have ways to hinder these two people.

"There are two versions of that legend, and those two versions are not the Sumerian version and the Akkadian version; there are significant differences between them."

This shows that the changes that Dragon Slayer Magic brought to me were not insignificant.

What power could possibly counter the male god?

When dealing with those kinds of people, in addition to the necessary goodwill, vigilance is also essential.

But I haven't transformed into a dragon yet; I'm still purely human.

At this point, however, my plan was still far from being realized.

Hearing Merlin's words, He Yuan gave a brilliant response.

He Yuan estimated that if she made a move now, the chances of the other party escaping would become even smaller.

Mashu found the lie utterly unbelievable.

So you were able to look at Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"If we're really going to start exploring, Enkidu shouldn't be dead yet! It's impossible for him to be a Servant, but it's entirely possible he'd appear as a local!"

Although my explanation also sounds full of flaws.

Fujimaru Ritsuka, as the Master, readily gave her name without any hesitation.

"What?!"

This will allow them to win over the other side and thus enhance their own combat strength.

"If we consider this era to be before Anna and Gilgamesh's exploration of the past and her death, then this makes sense!"

Merlin explained with a smile.

Through Enkidu's explanation, you learned that almost none of the other cities in that small underground area have been destroyed by the monsters.

It is precisely because my goal is about to be achieved that I can allow myself to win.

Therefore, before I could hear the conversation between the two men, I took the opportunity to interrupt and back off.

Jill asked.

You guys don't understand the current situation at all.

Therefore, it is clear that the main force we need to win over in that world should be among Kotomine Shi.

Jill, who knew that information, was very casual.

"Well, if he really is Enkidu, then you'd better believe that there's something wrong with your memory."

This can only be a Heroic Spirit.

That is also one of the ways Chaldea supports the two of you.

"Because Queen Anna, who is currently commanding the battle lines under Kotomine's command, is the same king who returned after searching for the Old Dead Grass!"

Although they were besieged by monsters when they first arrived, they trusted Kingu after he rescued them.

"Oh, really? That's really bad news! You know there isn't even a dock yet!"

In an instant, the originally gloomy situation gradually became chaotic.

"Why? Aren't you surprised?"

"According to ancient records, there was no cedar forest to the west of Kotomine, so it would be quite surprising if there were no cedar forest there, but..."

So, still not entirely sure, Jill continued her role, asking, "You're going to He Yuanxiang next; will they be traveling with you?"

Jill extended an invitation.

As for communicating with someone like that, both Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka are still too young.

Only Kotomine Shiki, led by Anna and Camille, continues to resist.

But just as Fujimaru Ritsuka made her decision, a cheerful voice suddenly rang out and interrupted our conversation.

That's how you've always done things.

"Oh dear, you little devils, I mean, did you scare them? Please forgive us, but you are some kind of suspicious people, please let us know your explanation."

Mash, who shared the same thoughts as her Master, quickly gave her name, and even mentioned the fake name Gil had given her.

Before encountering Enkidu, we also witnessed this awe-inspiring Absolute Monster Front on the road.

If these eight male gods were your enemies...

After all, Enkidu said that the eight male gods wanted to wipe out all of humanity.

For Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu, the entire Chaldea is your brain trust.

I want to see what decision you make.

I'm quite vague. Rather than letting those two speculate, it's better to reassure you by giving you guidance myself.

But all you get in return is the other person's increasingly loud laughter.

Mash quickly shielded Fujimaru Ritsuka with her shield and then questioned Enkidu behind her.

But regardless, Mash, feeling safe, hadn't yet become wary.

Mashu, who interacts more with others, doesn't know how to answer some of them.

Jill lied without the slightest change in expression.

Merlin immediately accepted the invitation.

I also sensed something was amiss from beneath Merlin and Jingu, but those are things I'm concerned about now.

You have no excuse whatsoever for He Yuan to conceal her name.

"That person, you seem to have seen him somewhere before."

But Enkidu is, after all, one of the strongest figures of the current era, and he also helped them out of a predicament. No matter the circumstances, they wanted to give each other some trust.

However, out of fear of Chaldea's nickname, I did not make a direct move.

After all, neither Merlin nor Jingu has met He Yuan yet.

The person speaking at this moment was Dr. Roman, who was acting as the director before the director was killed in the explosion.

After all, if Enkidu is fine, it would be very awkward for you to take the initiative to act as his partner.

With that, Merlin bypassed Gilles and went directly to Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash, asking, "Do you know the names of these two young ladies?"

But Uruklang cared a lot.

Even He Yuan thinks I am a hybrid of human and dragon.

After all, there's no such thing as a bad word; the enemy of my enemy is not my friend.

I'm worried that taking action now might cause complications, giving the opponent a chance to escape.

But by then, the two had already realized that something was wrong.

"Although you can no longer give your own names over there for certain reasons."

The voice echoing from the void responded to Mash's soliloquy.

And what we need to do to fight the enemy is not the assistance we need to win over.

Roman, who had been secretly observing the situation as the acting director, couldn't help but shout it out in a low voice.

It enveloped my face completely.

After all, both Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu were newcomers to that world.

After all, the eight people behind me are all complicated in my eyes.

After all, those who can become heroes are mostly meticulous individuals.

Therefore, I plan to lure the two Chaldea members to the lair of the Beast God, and then have the Beast God and I attack together, giving the two Chaldea members no chance of escaping.

Merlin, having gotten the excuse he wanted, immediately wore a shocked expression. I exclaimed in surprise, "It's Enkidu? This is really giving me a headache!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was being stared at by Mashu, was immediately taken aback.

Of course, the main person in disguise was Uruklang.

Gil, who was leading the way, stopped and turned to ask Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash.

"Your name is Fujimaru Ritsuka."

You know how you should respond.

"Of course, even if you were to do it, you would still chase after them. But, do you know if you'd be so lucky as to know your nickname?"

At this point, these guys from Kotomine weren't weaker than I imagined. If the Chaldea people were to join them, I'm worried that my mother's plan would be in trouble.

Therefore, I will give the two Chaldea members any chance to escape.

After being modified by Dragon Slayer Magic, Urukro's aura changed very little.

Then, your lives will begin.

"There are boats moored outside the dock, so once you get here, you can go upstream to your destination."

"Oh, what's wrong? Is there something you're worried about?"

The lair where the Warcraft god resides is not very, very close to the outside world.

"Why did Gamash keep dying during his explorations? It wasn't because of the death of his close friend Enkidu!"

The voice came from Chaldea. We cannot communicate through the void through the connection between Chaldea and the two of them.

Once you cross the forest and reach the dock, you'll first encounter the lair of the Warcraft god.

But compared to Jill, the two are about the same.

"What should we do, juniors! Should we point out that you're drifting away from Kotomine Shi?"

All I need to do is be patient and keep deceiving the two of them for a long time, and then I'll be completely done with it.

The final singularity: Mesopotamia in the Age of Gods.

Although I heard everything.

Before Merlin appeared, Mash, who had gathered together on her own initiative, spoke loudly to Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Therefore, in the hearts of Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu, going to Kotomine was the most correct course of action.

Although that battle may have been only a very brief one.

But at this moment, Enkidu, as Anna-Gamish's close friend and the King of Words in mythology, leads you backward in the opposite direction.

Knowing your task, you've always been very familiar with the basics.

This made it impossible for the eight people opposite me to see my face.

Therefore, Mash, feeling wary, immediately looked at her Master, Fujimaru Ritsuka.

I understand that my battle with Jill will eventually end.

That's when we'll need the help of those reliable little people from Chaldea.

Warriors and wise men are both heroes.

But now, the Enkidu behind your eyes is becoming increasingly suspicious in your hearts.

Realizing that my identity might be in question, I continued to play my part.

As for the breathing issue?

You may be unfamiliar with that terrain.

With Merlin's guidance, the Chaldea members immediately realized the problem.

"Sigh, you're talking about Enkidu!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded.

Seeing this, Jill pretended to see through their thoughts, and I chuckled and pointed behind us, saying, "Oh, so they're worried about directions? Actually, there's no dock on the riverbank behind here!"

Gil, who inherited Enkidu's abilities, is indeed very sensitive to auras.

Even though we were so close to He Yuanxiang's Absolute Monster Battlefront, we had to walk half a day in the opposite direction to find a boat.

"Since we're traveling together, we always have to do the worse things, right?"

Even if the other party is the famous Enkidu from mythology.

"There's a mistake!"

With a hearty laugh, eight figures emerged from the cedar forest.

Those eight were none other than Merlin, Uruklang, and He Yuan, who had come from afar.

And you intend to continue doing that in that world.
