＠Dr. Roman
We've been marching for an entire day.[sr]You must be tired, [%1].
[k]

＠Dr. Roman
But we're almost there. Just hang in there a little longer.
[k]

＠Dr. Roman
That area is easy to observe.[sr]We can finally have a proper operation.
[k]

＠Dr. Roman
Just a little bit more... One more day, and you should arrive at what I believe is the city of Uruk.

＠Merlin
It's easy to observe this area because it's still close to the “former Mesopotamian world.”
[k]

＠Merlin
The only safe place is the area around Uruk, where the king is going strong and maintaining an environment livable for humans.
[k]

＠Merlin
Northern Mesopotamia has become a kingdom of Demonic Beasts, while the south has become a mysterious jungle that no one returns from.
[k]

＠Merlin
For humans who survived attacks by Demonic Beasts, the city of Uruk is the only refuge.

＠Dr. Roman
Now I understand the situation here.
[k]

＠Dr. Roman
With the rise of the Three Goddess Alliance, the Sumerian city-states have been dealt a devastating blow.
[k]

＠Dr. Roman
Many cities have been destroyed and many people have fled to Uruk, the center of this world.
[k]

＠Dr. Roman
The Demonic Beasts' invasion up north is the most serious issue at hand, as they're currently the major force wiping out humanity.
[k]

＠Dr. Roman
In response, Uruk's king has dissolved the city of Babylon and hastily constructed a great fortress known as the Northern Wall of Uruk.
[k]

＠Dr. Roman
In other words, Babylonia has turned itself into the front line for the war against Demonic Beasts. It's the last fort protecting the Mesopotamian world. Correct?
[k]

[communicationCharaClear]

[charaTalk C]

[charaFadein C 0.1 1]
＠Merlin
Yes. It's still unknown how the King of Mages influenced this era, but if the Demonic Beasts bring down Uruk, human history is finished.
[k]

[charaFace C 4]
＠Merlin
If the first dynasty of Sumer, the blueprint of city-states, is destroyed, there is no certainty in what will become of the human race afterwards.
[k]

＠Merlin
During the same period, Egypt's first dynasty was also flourishing, but they alone can't preserve the Foundation of Humanity.
[k]

[charaFace C 0]
＠Merlin
Therefore, there are two things you need to do.
[k]

＠Merlin
First, search for the Holy Grail the King of Mages sent to this era and retrieve it. That should give us an idea about his plot.
[k]

＠Merlin
Next, take down the Three Goddess Alliance if possible. Although that fight should belong to the people of this era...
[k]

＠Merlin
...if we do nothing, the Foundation of Humanity can't be restored. This task is beyond our abilities, but it is what we must do.
[k]

？1：What do we know about the alliance?

[charaFace C 4]
＠Merlin
Not much. Out of the three goddesses, I only know the True Name for one.
[k]

＠Merlin
There's the goddess controlling all Demonic Beasts up north, the goddess residing in jungles in the south,
[k]

＠Merlin
then there's the soaring goddess who has no fixed residence.
[k]

＠Merlin
The biggest threat is the goddess in the north, but the soaring goddess is another problem altogether.
[k]

＠Merlin
In a way, she's the most troublesome goddess in Mesopotamia, even more so than the goddess controlling the Demonic Beasts.
[k]

＠Merlin
The people of Uruk are still puzzled over what to do about her.
[k]

？2：What were you doing, Merlin?

[charaFace C 1]
＠Merlin
I was looking for something, under orders from the king. That's also why I was in the Cedar Forest.
[k]

＠Merlin
I was searching for something called the Tablet of Destinies, but I've put that on hold so I can guide you to Uruk.
[k]

？！

Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.[sr]The king of Uruk in ancient Mesopotamia.
[k]

＠Mash
He is a historical figure who appeared in the Epic of Gilgamesh, mankind's oldest heroic epic,
[k]

＠Mash
as well as other ancient Mesopotamian stories.
[k]

[charaFace A 7]
＠Mash
His historical name was Bilgamesh, where “bilga” means ancestors, and “mesh” means hero.
[k]

＠Mash
His father was King Lugalbanda, a demigod.[sr]His mother was the goddess Ninsun.
[k]

＠Mash
He was a hero born of god and human, which made him a combination of the two.
[k]

[charaFace A 0]
＠Mash
In his youth, he was fond of people, while also being a sage grounded in reason,
[k]

＠Mash
but he became the complete opposite in his adolescence. He turned into an out-of-control tyrant.
[k]

＠Mash
He gathered the land's fortune, demanded prosperity in toil from his citizens, and abandoned the gods as relics of the past.
[k]

[charaFace A 7]
＠Mash
To admonish him, the gods created the being that appeared before us, Enkidu.
[k]

＠Mash
As fate would have it, Enkidu and King Gilgamesh fought for three days and three nights in front of a temple in Uruk.
[k]

＠Mash
The battle was a draw. Afterwards, King Gilgamesh recognized Enkidu as his only friend.
[k]

＠Mash
His tyranny relaxed a bit and he governed the country while still being feared by the citizens of Uruk.
[k]

＠Mash
However...
[k]

？1：However?

[charaFace A 12]
＠Mash
Yes. King Gilgamesh matured as a king after gaining a friend, but encountered many trials.
[k]

？2：You know quite a bit, Mash.

[charaFace A 3]
＠Mash
Y-yes. After we found out about the era of the Seventh Singularity, I studied so I could be useful to you, Senpai...

＠Merlin
Oh, the Cedar of Lebanon story.
[k]

＠Merlin
King Gilgamesh set foot into the holy ground of the Forest of White Cedars and killed Humbaba, the Demonic Beast guarding it.
[k]

＠Merlin
Due to Mesopotamia's climate, the country was always in need of lumber.
[k]

＠Merlin
Bringing home quality cedar was his obligation, as both a king and a hero.
[k]

＠Merlin
However, his achievement captured the attention of a wicked goddess.
[k]

[charaFace C 0]
＠Merlin
The goddess's curiosity drove her to desire all things unusual, beautiful and praise-worthy.
[k]

＠Merlin
Who was this wicked goddess you ask? She was Inanna, Queen of Heaven, daughter of An, also known as Ishtar. And she set her sights on Gilgamesh.
[k]

[charaFace C 4]
＠Merlin
The world's greatest goddess confessed her love to the King of Heroes. However, King Gilgamesh rejected her.
[k]

＠Merlin
Why? Because Gilgamesh knew how coldly she treated her husband Dumuzid.
[k]

[charaFace C 0]
＠Merlin
This must have been quite a shock to Ishtar.[sr]To be rejected by a man... by a mere human!
[k]

＠Merlin
Furious, Ishtar went crying to her father...
[k]

[charaFace C 4]
＠Merlin
...who, out of love for her, gave her something terrible.
[k]

＠Merlin
A Divine Beast powerful enough to destroy the world... Gugalanna, the Bull of Heaven. With it, Ishtar tried to destroy Uruk.
[k]

＠Merlin
The bull damaged crops, made the rivers run dry, and summoned a tempest before being defeated by Gilgamesh and Enkidu.
[k]

＠Merlin
Uruk was saved, but by killing the holy beast, Enkidu incurred the wrath of the gods and for their sins, the gods killed Enkidu.
[k]

＠Merlin
It was, after all, the gods who created Enkidu in the first place. In modern parlance, the gods flipped Enkidu's off switch.
[k]

[charaFace C 3]
＠Merlin
Honestly. The Mesopotamian gods' greatest fault was being pushovers to their daughters.
[k]

＠Merlin
Between An and Enki of the Abyss, Ishtar was given a multitude of treasures.
[k]

[charaFadeout C 0.1]

[charaTalk B]
[communicationCharaLoop 98003003 1 5 0 3]
＠Dr. Roman
Yes, yes. From that story alone, it's easy to see that Ishtar had a pampered upbringing...
[k]

[communicationCharaClear]
[wait communicationChara]

[charaTalk A]
[charaFace A 4]
[charaFadein A 0.1 1]
＠Mash
That's right. The death of his only friend, Enkidu, was King Gilgamesh's first real encounter with mortality.
[k]

＠Mash
Death claimed even Enkidu, the mighty king's equal. Gilgamesh, in turn, began to wonder whether it was possible to conquer death.
[k]

[charaFace A 8]
＠Mash
As a result, King Gilgamesh embarked on a quest for immortality. He went to the ends of the earth, descended into the Abyss...
[k]

＠Mash
...and at its bottom, obtained the Herb of Rejuvenation. However[charaFace A 12]...
[k]

[charaFadeout A 0.1]

[charaTalk B]
[communicationCharaLoop 98003003 1 5 0 3]
＠Dr. Roman
It was stolen by a snake, right?
[k]

[communicationCharaFace 5]
＠Dr. Roman
Gilgamesh returned to the surface and went to bathe. While he soaked, a snake crept in and ate the herb.
[k]

＠Dr. Roman
And so, snakes gained the ability to shed their skin, and humans forever lost the chance to become immortal.
[k]

[communicationCharaFace 3]
＠Dr. Roman
No one could ever really know what effect that had on the king's state of mind.
[k]

[communicationCharaFace 5]
＠Dr. Roman
Anyway, King Gilgamesh returned to Uruk, but because of his absence, the city had nearly fallen into ruin.
[k]

＠Dr. Roman
Reflecting on his own selfishness, he decided to try and restore Uruk.
[k]

＠Dr. Roman
From then on, he never went on quests, instead focusing on his kingly duties.
[k]

[communicationCharaFace 0]
＠Dr. Roman
There you have it. The Epic of Gilgamesh in a nutshell.
[k]

＠Dr. Roman
The epic was set down in poetry, so we can only imagine what the truth may have been.
[k]

[communicationCharaClear]
[wait communicationChara]

[charaTalk C]
[charaFace C 3]
[charaFadein C 0.1 1]
＠Merlin
Did he really seek out the magical herb because he feared death, or was it because he loathed death?
[k]

＠Merlin
I think it would be interesting to ask the man himself.[sr]Oh, but...
[k]

[charaFace C 4]
＠Merlin
I suppose he isn't the type of person who would speak freely about his memories. Unless you were his traveling companion or something.
[k]

[charaFace C 1]
＠Merlin
The point is, this is a man who had the guts to call a goddess as powerful, though spoiled, as Ishtar a fool and kick her to the curb...
[k]

＠Merlin
...while bragging about possessing the originals of all the Noble Phantasms and having the greatest advantage over any hero.
[k]

＠Merlin
Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes, is an extremely arrogant, cold-blooded tyrant. Remember that.
