Hearing Lord El-Melloi II's words, everyone fell into thought.
With Sakura being extracted as a historical individual, all of history underwent a reasonable deviation, and the cognition of others was corrected.
The only one who remembered the original timeline was Lord El-Melloi II.
This situation made Lord El-Melloi II curious about what was going on.
When he asked Yuto, Yuto just smiled.
He didn't know what was going on either!
After not getting an answer, Lord El-Melloi II said his goodbyes to Iskandar and left.
However, the words he left behind plunged the remaining people into a discussion.
"This actually reminds me of a classic movie plot," Ainz said, rubbing his jawbone with his skeletal fingers.
"Nani?" Rimuru wobbled his body, looking at Ainz with curiosity.
"Don't a lot of movies have plots where someone goes back to the past to kill an enemy before they've grown up?" Ainz was inexplicably excited when he said this.
This made Yuto a bit confused as to whether the guy was excited because he remembered a movie plot or because of some other twisted hobby.
Anyway, ever since Ainz became a skeleton, he'd been straying further and further down the non-human path.
"I've seen movies like that too," Saitama scratched his head.
"Speaking of which, King of Heroes, didn't you say you were omniscient and omnipotent? What do you think of this?" Iskandar looked at Gilgamesh.
Gilgamesh frowned slightly, his deep red pupils showing a hint of confusion.
He possessed Sha Naqba Imuru, logically, he should be able to see everything.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so familiar with Iskandar.
But when he tried to look into the Matou family, he couldn't see through the truth behind it.
He had some guesses in his heart, and for a moment he thought of this little restaurant and Yuto, which he also couldn't see through.
"Oh? It seems you don't know. So you aren't truly omniscient and omnipotent after all." Iskandar had been mocked by Gilgamesh many times tonight.
Now he finally caught an opportunity to mock him back!
This made the King of Heroes look displeased.
"Shut up, mongrel!" Gilgamesh cursed at Iskandar.
Iskandar laughed, "Ahahaha. I thought you didn't say 'mongrel' anymore, turns out you still do."
"Hmph! Just thinking that a guy like you was a king alongside me in history makes me feel humiliated." Gilgamesh was annoyed by Iskandar's words.
Seeing this side of Gilgamesh made Yuto chuckle inwardly.
...
About tens of minutes passed.
The roast meat prepared in the kitchen for Lucoa and Fafnir was ready.
Yuto brought it out from the kitchen.
Lucoa was happy to see the roast meat, she wiggled her body slightly.
Even though Yuto was used to seeing all kinds of women, he still felt a bit dizzy when he saw Big bo-Lucoa.
"Lucoa, should I bring out the beer now?" Yuto asked.
"Mhm, bringing it now would be best!" Lucoa said softly.
Her eyes were still squinted. Her whole body radiated an atmosphere of joy.
When Yuto placed the beer in front of her, Lucoa's eyes opened slightly.
Although those mysterious and magnificent heterochromatic eyes were only partially revealed, they were still dazzling.
"This is Fafnir's." Yuto brought the roast meat over to Fafnir.
"Fafnir, say thank you."
Fafnir had planned to just nod, but Tohru, who had already wiped the restaurant's tables and walls four times, came to his side.
The dragon maid's dangerous tone made Fafnir scoff.
"Listen well, I'm only saying thank you to you. If Tohru hadn't demanded it, I wouldn't say thank you." Fafnir looked at Yuto awkwardly.
Like a brat forced to admit a mistake and apologize by his parents, even though he was unconvinced, he forced himself due to the fear of being beaten by them.
Yuto couldn't help but find it funny.
"Hmph! Thank you." Fafnir scoffed and muttered a quiet thanks.
Then he focused his attention on the roast meat.
"Right, Tohru, do you want me to make you some food now?" Yuto chuckled after hearing Fafnir's thanks, then looked at Tohru, who was gripping a rag.
He thought the dragon maid would agree. But he didn't expect Tohru to shake her head.
"Alright then." Yuto figured it was perhaps because the dragon maid wasn't hungry right now.
But Tohru was inexplicably acting shy.
The dragon maid seemed to have thought of something. It was just that Yuto didn't see Tohru's expression.
His attention had already been drawn away by Gilgamesh speaking up.
The King of Heroes, who had stayed for quite a while, was preparing to leave.
"Kamisaka, although I didn't eat anything tonight, I'm very pleased. Consider this my reward!" Gilgamesh waved his hand.
Shining gold and various colored gems scattered onto the table.
Yuto could confirm.
This was the largest payment his small restaurant had received so far!
And he didn't even cooked for him.
But looking at Gilgamesh, the guy's face showed he didn't care about these things at all.
At this moment, Yuto once again had a new understanding of Gilgamesh's wealth.
"No need to refuse. This is my reward, just accept it with peace of mind. Mere gold and gems are nothing compared to my joyous mood."
Yuto had wanted to refuse. But Gilgamesh saw through his thoughts and stopped him.
Seeing the King of Heroes crossing his arms with a look full of complacency and pride, Yuto didn't say much more.
Then he'd accept it.
He wouldn't mind having such rich guests everyday!
After the King spoke of leaving, the retainer beside him had a conflicted and hesitant look on her face.
"My King, is it possible to stay a while longer?" Siduri asked Gilgamesh with nervousness and pleading.
Gilgamesh looked confused. "Siduri, do you have any other business?"
"I... I... I just request that the King to stay a little longer!"
'I haven't seen Enkidu-sama yet... I can't leave just like this... Just wait a little longer...'
"Siduri, you make a request to me but can't even give a reason for it. Do you realize you're testing my patience?"
"Yes, i know it my King. But no matter what, please stay a little while longer."
Displeasure appeared on the King of Heroes' face.
His red eyes flashed, he intended to use Sha Naqba Imuru to see what his retainer was thinking.
But before he could use it, a voice that made him tremble like an electric shock rang out.
"Gil, are you still bullying Siduri?"
A barefoot, green-haired person stood at the restaurant door.
Beneath his calm expression hid infinite complexity.
***
Once upon a time, there was a guy whose body was made of clay.
Mere clay, yet he dared to try to challenge the gods alongside the Child of the Gods.
This arrogant ignorance angered the gods above.
And then... divine punishment took his life.
In the pouring rain, he breathed his last with his face covered in tears.
"Why are you crying? Have you come to regret taking my side now?" the bare-chested Child of the Gods asked, holding the dying clay man.
"That's not it—" the dying man gasped.
His face had already lost all color. "After I die, who else... will be able to understand you? Who else will be able to walk alongside you? My friend... just thinking that you'll have to live on alone from now on, I can't help but... let my tears flow..."
His powerless hand dropped as he took his last breath.
In that moment, the arrogant Child of the Gods, the tyrant King, understood.
The way of life of this man was more precious and dazzling than all the treasures collected in his treasury.
"From now on, my only true friend is you, Enkidu..." the King muttered at the corners of his mouth.
***
"Hmph! So that's how it is. Siduri, do you know your actions will incur my punishment?!" Gilgamesh crossed his arms and didn't look at the person at the door, instead, he looked at the retainer beside him.
A smile appeared on Siduri's veil-covered face.
Even though the King before her said he was going to punish her, her expression showed no complaint or fear.
Instead, she gladly accepted it.
"Now now, don't blame Siduri. Siduri is already tired enough taking care of you daily~."
Enkidu walked up barefoot to the restaurant with a faint smile.
Matching this was the gradually curling corner of the King of Heroes' mouth.
The humanity's oldest king also stepped forward.
When Gilgamesh and Enkidu were separated by no more than an arm's length, the two smiled at the same time.
Then, they simultaneously threw punches at each other!
Bang!
The overlapping punches erupted with a shocking sound in the air!
Whoosh—
The fist wind blew away many chopsticks and chairs.
"Sorry, Kamisaka-kun."
Noticing the scene, Enkidu shifted his attention away from Gilgamesh and apologized to Yuto.
"No problem." Yuto gathered the chopsticks, and Enkidu also helped set the chairs back in place.
At this moment, the King of Heroes' face showed quite a bit of dissatisfaction.
"Hmph! Even after years have passed, it seems you haven't changed. You're the only one who dares to disregard my anger like this."
Although the King of Heroes started out sounding displeased, the smile on his face did not dissapear as he spoke.
"Kamisaka-kun, sorry for the trouble of accommodating Gil tonight. Gil must've caused you a lot of trouble while he was here." Enkidu ignored Gilgamesh.
He spoke to Yuto with sincere apology on his face.
Yuto shook his head.
The King of Heroes here tonight was surprisingly easy to get along with.
And the guy was generous. Really generous.
Yuto had no doubt that taking out any single gem the guy gave could buy a restaurant of the same size.
After all, they were big and shiny.
"Hmph! Enkidu, you actually thought I was still the way I used to be. Very foolish!" Gilgamesh continued to cross his arms behind Enkidu, speaking with arrogance and complacency.
Beside them, Siduri looked at Gilgamesh's tsundere action, her eyes filled with a smile.
This was the scene she wanted to see.
'Ah—I kind of want to cry... Gotta hold it in, hold it in, hold it in...'
"Kamisaka-kun, thank you for your tolerance. Please allow me to thank you on Gil's behalf." Enkidu still didn't pay attention to the King of Heroes behind him.
"You really don't have to." Yuto waved both his hands.
Enkidu smiled.
Although he had no gender, his appearance was exceptionally beautiful.
"Hey! Who permitted you to speak on my behalf? You're just a weapon, so act properly like a weapon!" Gilgamesh continued his act.
Enkidu still ignored the King of Heroes.
"Siduri, you don't need to do this." Enkidu came to Siduri, sighed softly, and then put a smile back on his face.
The veiled female retainer shook her head.
It wasn't that she didn't want to speak, but if she opened her mouth now, she wouldn't be able to control herself!
"Enkidu! You bastard, listen properly to what I'm saying!"
Finally, the King of Heroes couldn't hold it back anymore.
He walked in front of Enkidu.
Enkidu just turned his head and smiled at him. "Gil, what's wrong?"
With one sentence, the anger that had filled Gilgamesh's face vanished.
This scene made everyone in the restaurant sigh with emotion.
To think there was someone who could keep that arrogant King of Heroes firmly in check.
Iskandar was stunned!
Compared to the others, he was more aware of Gilgamesh's nature.
Even though the Gilgamesh before him was much better than the Gilgamesh he'd met before, their fundamental arrogance hadn't changed at all.
It was just one was exposed on the outside, and one was hidden on the inside.
However, in front of Enkidu, that arrogance belonging to the King of Heroes couldn't be brought out.
"Hmph!" Gilgamesh didn't know what to say for a moment.
