Did the witch get her wish today?

"When I stopped Lily, I noticed that you are different from Humbaba."

With her eyes closed, she listened to Enkidu slowly explain the situation at that time.

In the face of the Goddess's mana attack without releasing water, Lilium's frail body was indeed destroyed at that moment.

But then, from the shattered body, a huge, ominous energy emerged.

Ishtar, who was frightened and angry, fought with the corner of the unknown god, but it didn't take long for the two people present to realize that it was only a part of the power that escaped, and the power had surpassed it. Ishtar as the main god.

And the unknown murmur that came out with the energy drove the priests far away at the entrance of the main hall into madness, and the goddess who was directly hit by the head was also injured.

Then she blamed the two people who had quarreled with her just now for preventing the spread of the influence, and went to rescue the soldiers by herself on the boat of the sky.

"It's more like running away in embarrassment than moving rescuers. After all, your body has already begun to recover at that time."

And this is also what he noticed, the difference between the girl and Humbaba.

"Your soul is still there, I feel it."

Lilium opened her eyes, tears streaming down the corners of her eyes.

"It's better to say that your soul and body are suppressing that power, it's just...too weak."

It's like a dilapidated gate, completely unable to withstand the violent snowstorm outside.

That's why Gilgamesh and Enkidu moved their hands, immobilized that power, and at the same time, "reinforced" her body as a seal.

Enkidu's statement did not stop the girl's tears, she had countless things to say, ask, and even shout angrily.But seeing those beautiful green eyes, those words turned into overwhelming emotions, flooding towards her.

Lilium suddenly laughed, shedding tears while laughing, and pressed her forehead tightly with her hands on her knees, as if she wanted to crush the hard skull.

She didn't know whether she was crying or laughing.The chapped lips were wet with tears, and the girl opened her mouth to pant, asking questions like mosquitoes.

"Why... why me?"

She scratched her long hair, stood up abruptly, and looked at the sky lock that had been saving her all along.

"I...I'm just...! Just a normal person...what...nothing!"

Without outstanding physical ability, without alien blood, without the ability of devil fruit, she is just a very ordinary little nun yearning for the sea and the world.

Lilium's vision was already blurred. She knew that she must be ugly now, but she was still crying out of breath while pouring out all the things accumulated in her heart.

"Everyone...everyone...dead!! Why...?"

Why is it me?

"Hate... Hate!!"

She shouted loudly, waving her hands wildly in the void, as if trying to drive something away, and then, because of her unstable center of gravity, she fell to the ground.

The girl clenched her hands into fists and beat the ground in front of her weakly.

"I don't want...don't do this...it's scary! So...so scary...!!"

The smiling faces of her parents and adoptive father, her brother, everyone in town flashed through Lilium's mind, and she cried even harder, pulling her hair in vain.

"help me……"

If only this was just a nightmare, if only this was a fantasy she had before she died.

But the pain in his fingers, the loose white hair, and the solid ground all told himself that this was real.

Lilium had no choice but to sit on the ground, shivering into a ball, hugging her knees, and crying helplessly.

From the beginning to the end, Enkidu didn't stop her, he just stood quietly by the side, listening to the girl's finally outburst emotions until she gradually calmed down by herself.

The girl was still sobbing softly, her blurry eyes saw the white robe in front of her.

Enkidu came to her side.

"...Sorry, I can't help you right now."

He stretched out his hand and wiped the tears from the girl's face, with a faint, somewhat sad expression.

Realizing that she was crying too embarrassingly, Lily sniffed hard, wiped her face with her sleeve randomly, and shook her head.

She wanted to tell Enkidu that it wasn't his fault, so there was no need to apologize.But she cried too much before, and she is still hiccupping, and she can't speak a complete sentence smoothly.

The girl tried hard to control her facial expression, but the effect was not very good, her facial features were all wrinkled together.

I feel so ashamed...

Unexpectedly, Enkidu suddenly laughed.

"However, now Lily finally looks alive again."

His white fingers caressed the furrowed lines between the girl's eyebrows.

"The you before were like a dead leaf floating on the water, but in the end even your feelings became thin."

"It's still cuter like this."

... This person, who has already cried to the point of losing all manner of appearance, must look ugly!

"You...you...! You are so strange...!"

But she was also reluctant to scold him, so she could only gasp for breath, and spit out a pale and feeble complaint for a long time.

"Is that so? Sorry, I don't know how to compliment people."

You can't praise this time either!It's comforting, comforting!

The other party didn't notice the thoughts in her heart, and continued: "After all, I'm just a weapon, maybe it's because the function hasn't been fully perfected yet."

"……do not talk like that."

The modest sense of embarrassment disappeared, and Lilium grabbed the man in front of him by the corner of his clothes, trying to explain to him in a low voice.

"You've always been helping me...and you haven't left me behind."

"Don't call yourself a weapon, I don't like to say that about my own Enkidu." She blinked her eyes that were a little swollen from crying, "You just haven't... not enough time to come to the city."

He is not a weapon, even if he is a clay figurine made by the gods, he should have bound Gilgamesh's chains, but now, living in Uruk, he has found the meaning of existence and an important friend.

This meaning is definitely not something that can be interpreted by a "weapon".

Enkidu has a soul.

"If your friend cries, you... what you have to do is to comfort him, not to praise him."

She threw those terrible conjectures to the back of her mind, wiped away her tears, and chattered.

"You mean... what people do when they cry is 'comfort'?"

Enkidu looked puzzled.

So Lilium added in a low voice: "Or...just like you did just now, it's okay to say nothing."

"Well... so that's the case, I will record it. Speaking of which, I have seen crying children in the city before, um..."

He suddenly stretched out his hand and hugged the girl sitting beside him into his arms.

Lilium felt something soft and cool touch her forehead.

"Is this considered 'consolation'?"

He... what did he just do? !

The girl held her breath, staring blankly at the white and beautifully shaped chin in front of her.

"Uh... um...?"

Oops, I feel like crying again.

A thought like this flashed through her mind, and Lilium suddenly felt that the strength of the arms around her became a little stronger.

When he came back to his senses, there was a similar touch on his lips as on his forehead just now.

She saw Enkidu's eyes with a strange look, and it was the first time they looked at each other so closely, she could even see his slender eyelashes clearly, and feel the grass-scented breath.

It wasn't until the soft and slightly dry lips left, and the girl saw the beautiful green man smiling like a flower blooming, that she realized what happened just now——

He kisses himself.

"……you……!"

"What's wrong?" The person who snatched her first kiss innocently tilted his head, "Your face turned red again, are you shy?"

The girl could feel that the other party was gently stroking her cheek, which was a little itchy.

She subconsciously covered her face with her hands. "...Why did you do such a thing?" Lilium lowered her head as she spoke, trying to break free from the other party's embrace.

"Because I wanted to."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pressed down the hand of the girl standing between them.

"Does Lily hate this?"

No, that's not what it means!

The boy's eyes were so pure that there was no trace of impurities, as if he could see through everything.

Lilium had seen the couple happily kissing each other under the blessing of the priest at church weddings countless times.I also once saw a young couple playing in the crowd and kissing their lover at a lively celebration.

"Pick up, kissing is—" the brain made a strange roar, and she felt that her tongue was useless. "It's something that only people who like... will do..."

"I like Lily very much too." Enkidu showed an expression like an abandoned puppy as he said. "Or does Lily hate me because she doesn't like me?"

"No, I don't hate... ah!"

Before she could finish her sentence, the world was spinning for a while, the girl only let out a small scream, and she fell down on her back.

Enkidu's long green hair fell down and fell on her neck, with a hint of coolness.

"Since you like me, isn't that all right?" There was a sly smile in the young man's green eyes, "Lily's expression is also very cute now..."

The eyes were suddenly covered, the girl only felt her breath blowing on her face, and her lips were pecked lightly.

"Ah... Speaking of which, your clothes are torn."

A finger lightly brushed across her collarbone, the palm went all the way down, and finally stopped at the chest that had been pierced.

"Enkidu..."

The temperature of his palm was so high, the moment it touched the skin, the feeling of trembling gradually spread.

"But fortunately, the wound seems to have fully healed..."

She felt something warm and moist across her chest, and a small, trembling sob came out of her throat.

"No...no way!"

The air inhaled into the lungs seemed to become scorching hot, and the brain was in chaos... Are I dreaming now?

"It's okay, don't be afraid—"

The man's voice rang in his ears, and for some reason, it sounded slightly hoarse.

"Lily..."
