I Will Be the Son of Man

If it is said, the only remaining emotion that may be called regret may be the moment when his best friend died in his arms on that day.

And, from that memory, the "I" at that time, as a king and as a father, needed Hill to hold the last rope to save mankind... .

Artoria was silent for a long time, she did not refute Hill's statement, but she did not agree either.

In the final analysis, this is just a difference in the standpoint and understanding of individuals.

So after all, it seems that the path she wants to take is still different from the other two kings present.

"My wish is to save Britain."

"For the country and the people, this is my kingly way."

There was firmness and unwavering in the holy blue eyes. Even if the other two kings with great reputation in history disagreed with her, Arturia still decided to do that.

If you want to ask the reason, it is because she is the King of Knights.

He was born to save Britain.

"Have you been bound by your own country for the rest of your life? How pathetic, King of Knights..."

Looking at this petite girl in bright silver armor, although I don't know the details, Iskandar is able to imagine the suffering that the other party suffered when he became king.

This point can be seen from the history that King Arthur was not a woman, and that even though the other party turned into a follower, he was still obsessed with his country.

Iskandar sighed, but in the face of Artoria's unshakable and holy appearance, he couldn't deny the kingly way that the other party insisted on following, which was completely different from his own.

"The obsession is so deep...Saber, the current you are more or less worthy of your self-proclaimed title."

"However, I still want to say that everything you pursue is nothing more than your own obsession, King of Knights..."

Gilgamesh chuckled, but it wasn't a mockery, but a sigh of pity.

However, he would not have the slightest sympathy.

Because the road is chosen by each of them, he will not interfere with the kingly road that Artoria wants to walk.

Even if he didn't need to guess, he knew that the end of the road the other party walked would be an empty wish after all.

The atmosphere fell into silence again, and the three kings with different paths began to drink silently.

The air was suddenly so oppressive that it made people feel heavy to breathe.

Only Hill seemed to be lost in memory, and did not raise the glass of milk again.

After another period of silence, finally, Iskandar the Conqueror couldn't help but speak.

"By the way, it seems that Hill's wish hasn't been said yet, right?"

Although he already knew the other party's wish, Iskandar asked again.

"Oh, I forgot to ask, what exactly are you going to do to get that cup, Hill."

Gilgamesh's original stern expression softened slightly, and he looked at Hill.

And Arturia cast her gaze over curiously, wanting to know what kind of wish she, a "junior brother" who inherited Gilgamesh's part of will but maintained clarity, wanted to realize.

Seeing everyone's eyes on him, Hill came back to his senses, and then said.

"I need to go back to Chaldea because there is something very important, there."

"Chaldea?"

Iskandar and Artoria showed puzzled looks at the same time, while Gilgamesh raised his eyebrows.

"Have you made up your mind, Hill?"

Regarding [Chaldea], Gilgamesh also knew something based on his "own" memory.

——[Phoenix Chaldea, the human existence guarantee organization].

However, such an organization does not mention the character of the people inside. Just based on its nature, it can be seen that it is not an organization that can be stabilized.

"Well, because I have to go back."

Not only to get back the golden apple that I lost there, but also because the voice I heard at the beginning, the golden apple tree promised to me has not been fulfilled.

Hill felt that if he went back, he might be able to find the answer in Chaldea.

"Since you have already made up your mind, then this king will not stop you. However, did you forget something in that place?"

Gilgamesh continued to ask.

But at this time, Hill was silent for a while, as if caught in some kind of thinking and entanglement.

"In the future, can I still meet Jill?"

Suddenly, Hill asked a strange question.

"When it's time to meet, we will naturally meet."

Neither affirming nor denying, Gilgamesh just smiled at Hill's seemingly childish behavior.

However, this shocked Iskandar and Artoria, no, it should be said that everyone else present was shocked.

——This person, can he still show such a smile......

This is the common sigh of everyone in their hearts.

"I see."

Hill nodded, and then opened his silver ripples, causing Gilgamesh to raise his eyebrows, with a little relief on his face for some reason.

"In that case, give this to Jill first."

Taking out a golden apple that had been placed in the depths of the space behind the ripples, Hill handed the golden apple to Gilgamesh.

"This is......."

Gilgamesh was a little surprised. He looked at the golden apple full of magic and vitality. Although he knew its true identity, he was more confused.

Why does Hill have this?

"【Golden Apple】. A kind-hearted person gave it to me after losing a race with me."

Hill explained that even though he hadn't tasted the golden apple yet, after thinking about it, he decided to share one of them with Gilgamesh.

Because, after this Holy Grail War, the opponent may disappear.And I can also use the Holy Grail to go back to Chaldea and try to get the golden apple fruit tree that the voice promised, so Hill is not so reluctant.

But I think so...... But Gilgamesh still felt the inseparable meaning from the opponent.

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he reached out to take the golden apple handed over by Hill, and then called out his own golden ripples, and took out a well-protected small one inlaid with colorful gemstones and engraved with complex patterns. Put the golden apple into the treasure chest, and then slowly lock it.

"If that's the case, let this golden apple be placed here first."

Gilgamesh paused, and he looked up at Hill, the emotion in his eyes showed that he seemed to have made some kind of decision.

"And, actually, this king also has something to give you."

"But, before that...."

Gilgamesh calmed down a little, and his expression became serious.

"Hill, this king will not prevent you from obtaining the Holy Grail, but he will not help you obtain the Holy Grail in this Holy Grail War."

"If you want to rely on the Holy Grail to return to the place you want to return to, then rely on your own strength and will to achieve it!"

"Since you are involved with that place, no matter what your wishes are, with your existence, the path you will take in the future must be different from the ordinary."

"This king can't stay by your side all the time, until the moment you grow up. So, in the future, you have to learn to walk alone."

If the impure soul and incomparably clear essence are related to the organization that saves humanity and the world, it will definitely have an impact on it.

Worries...maybe, but Gilgamesh is more confident.

He believes that his child can finally grow up, and he also believes in the anchor set by "self" in the heart of the other party.

"However, before the gift is sent out, go to win first, and then come to this king, Hill!"

"At that time, this king will officially recognize your status as the heir, and entrust you with the right to open this king's treasure."

Gilgamesh's crimson pupils reflected Hill's figure, and the gift to be given to Hill had already been decided.

Hill blinked, and he didn't really care about the gift that was given to him. What he wanted to know was another thing.

"So, am I going to fight Jill?"

"Heh, who knows, maybe this king will stop you from going to that place because he thinks you can't bear the pain of the journey to save humanity..."

"So, pass this test, Hill."

Gilgamesh said jokingly, but Hill obviously didn't understand the lack of seriousness in the other party's words, and instead nodded after hesitating for a long time.

"I see, the Holy Grail, I will definitely get it."

Gilgamesh smiled, this slightly over-serious Hill made him laugh a little.

Iskandar and Artoria did not interfere too much with the small theater between father and son here.

In fact, they are now plagued by another problem.

That is, the [Golden Apple] that Hill took out earlier.

"Golden apples...and they were won in a race against others..."

"I said Hill, haven't you been to ancient Greece before?"

Iskandar asked with some uncertainty, because the things Hill took out, as well as his words, had to make people have some associations.

As for the other party lying, it is even more impossible.

Because, looking at those clear eyes, you will only feel ashamed.If an existence like the other party can lie on such an occasion, then the world is probably doomed.

"Greece? Well, I've been."

"However, I will go to Chaldea after that."

Hill didn't hide anything, and his senses towards Iskandar were rather peculiar.

Although the two have different positions because of the Holy Grail War, Hill has never felt any malice from Iskandar, but often feels kindness.

However, after what Iskandar said, Gilgamesh suddenly remembered something.

Previously, he was always surprised why Hill could get the golden apple, but he forgot to continue thinking about why Hill held the golden apple.

Moreover, as for what Hill said about "winning a race with a good-hearted man", he couldn't help but think of a certain existence that was instilled in his modern knowledge and recorded in Greek mythology.

As for Hill, he said just now that he had indeed been to Greece.
