Are those the Demonic Beasts from earlier?

Are those... the same demonic beasts again?

No, that's not all.

No. I'm afraid it's much worse.

To the north, there are Magical Energy\Nreadings of magnitude greater!

The mana readings from the north \Nare dozens of times greater than before.

Unbelievable.

I can hardly believe it.

Is that castle wall keeping them in check?

Is that wall really holding them back?

Too early to be surprised.

Does that surprise you?

They have been holding that wall\Nfor six months already.

Then what if I told you they've maintained \Nthese defenses for half a year already?

S-Six months?

H-Half a year?!

The soldiers have been driving back\Nan endless onslaught of Demonic Beasts.

Their soldiers have been fighting against this \Nendless onslaught of beasts for all that time,

But the humans suffer fewer casualties\Nthan the Demonic Beasts.

and yet the beasts have sustained \Nfar greater losses than the human side.

- Indeed.\N- Yes.

So it seems.

There are way more Demonic Beasts\Nthan the soldiers, though.

Indeed.

I wonder what kind of person\Nis in command of that fortress.

The enemy should be overwhelming them, \Nand yet they hold their ground.

The person must be\Na brilliant general at the helm.

Who in the world is commanding this fortress?

But they shed needless blood.

It must be a truly brilliant general.

They don't need to kill every one of them.

Hmph.

They will go extinct\Nwithout even doing anything anyway.

All this unnecessary bloodshed.

There's no need to destroy everything.

Why not just wait until they die out on their own?

Honestly...

Enkidu?

We are almost at the safe zone.

Safety is but a stone's throw away.

We should be able to make it\Nto Uruk by sunset.

We should arrive at Uruk by sunset.

But Enkidu,

Excuse me, Enkidu-san, but isn't Uruk the other way?

we seem to be going\Nfarther away from Uruk.

There's a dock on the banks of the river up ahead.

There is a wharf at the river up ahead.

It still has boats, so once we reach it, \Nwe need only sail downstream.

There is a boat docked there.

Well, well! What wonderful news!

Once we get to the wharf,\Nall we have to do is take it downstream.

Hello there. Sorry if I startled you.

Oh my!

We mean no harm, so would you hear me out?

I didn't know that!

As you can see, we've lost our way in the forest. \NThe animal trails can be quite confusing.

Hey, hello.

But I am surprised to see humans here, \Nin the territory of the Goddess of Demonic Beasts!

Sorry to scare you.

I'm sorry to hear that.

I'm not an enemy, so hear me out.

We're headed to Uruk. Would you care to accompany us?

As you can see, we didn't know our way\Nthrough these trails and got lost.

Of course! That would be a great help.

I didn't expect to see humans in the territory\Nof the Goddess of Demonic Beasts.

I can't help but feel our meeting here was by fate.

That is unfortunate.

Might I ask your names?

We're heading to Uruk.\NWill you come with us?

I'm Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Of course! That would help us.

Some strange fate\Nmust have brought us together.

Can you tell us your name?

I'm Ritsuka Fujimaru.

My name is Mash Kyrielight.

This is Enkidu.

And this is Enkidu.

Enkidu?

That's a problem.

That might be an issue.

A big problem.

A pretty big one, at that.

Why?

Why is that?

Because King Gilgamesh,\Nwho is commanding the front line in Uruk,

Well, you see, because the King Gilgamesh \Ncurrently commanding the front line of Uruk

is the king who returned from his quest\Nfor the herb of immortality.

has already returned from his search \Nfor the herb of immortality.

What does that mean—

Which would mean...

Wait! If so, it doesn't make sense.

Wait! Then this doesn't make sense!

He didn't set out on that quest\Nuntil after the death of his friend, Enkidu.

No, it doesn't. King Gilgamesh only set out on his quest \Nfor immortality after the death of his friend Enkidu.

And he's returned from the quest. It means...

If that's already in the past,

Enkidu should've been dead a long time ago.

that would mean that Enkidu is long since—

Mash!

Fujimaru... Ritsuka Fujimaru...

Fujimaru...

Incompetent fools of Chaldea.

Fujimaru Ritsuka.

I was so close, though. Just a little more,

You and the other incompetent fools from Chaldea.

and I would've seen something so very fun.

What a terrible shame.

It's useless to try to flee.

Just a little further, and you \Nwould have put on quite the show.

You are already doomed.

It's pointless trying to run.

The odds are against the two.

Your fate has long since been sealed.

Ana, help them!

Hmm. I think this might be \Na bit much for only two to handle.

This wasn't part of the deal,

Ana! Lend them a hand!

but I will protect them.

This wasn't part of our deal, \Nbut I'll protect them anyway.

It's useless.

I told you it's pointless.

Don't you get it?

Know your place.

Mash!

You're using chains, of all weapons,\Nagainst me? You make me laugh.

Of all the weapons to use against me, \Nyou chose chains? Don't make me laugh.

Watch out!

This is bad!

You do make me laugh...

Thank you for the entertainment,

third-rate Servant!

you third-rate Servant!

Too pathetic to be taken seriously.

How utterly pathetic.

Did you really think such paltry attacks\Nwould stand a chance against me?

Did you really think your paltry abilities \Nstood a chance against me?

There's no need for me to defeat you.

There is no need for me to defeat you.

Having a humanlike intelligence\Ncan sometimes backfire on you.

Having humanlike intelligence \Ncan be a double-edged sword.

You should take this opportunity\Nto learn that.

Take this as an object lesson.

I see...

I see.

I've been caught\Nin an illusory dream halfway through.

At some point during the battle, \NI was ensnared in a dream.

Which means that's the Mage\Nworking for Uruk.

This must be the work of that magus of Uruk.

I guess I'll have to withdraw for today.

I suppose I'll have to give up for now.

Besides, I can't leave her alone\Nfor a whole day.

I cannot leave her alone for an entire day.

H-Huh?

What happened?

Where's Enkidu?

Wow, that worked out great!

Wow, that sure worked out great!

I felt a little guilty because it was\Nlike tricking an innocent child,

That felt kind of bad, like playing a trick on a child, \Nbut you can't be too careful with Enkidu.

but we were facing Enkidu.

That lad is the direct subordinate \Nof the King of Mages, after all.

After all, that boy is working\Ndirectly for the King of Mages.

Enkidu's in league with the King of Mages?!

Enkidu's working for the King of Mages?

Was that the real Enkidu?

Was that really Enkidu?

Yes.

That's what he called himself\Nwhen he destroyed many fortress cities.

Or so this mysterious youth has proclaimed \Nat the site of every destroyed fortress city so far.

Though, while many Uruks seem\Nto want to believe he isn't the real thing.

Though the people of Uruk are loath to believe \Nthis is anything but the lies of an impostor.

Anyway, all that aside,\Nlet me formally say hello!

But never mind that.

I saved you when you were in danger.

It's a delight to meet you all!

Please shower me, your savior,\Nwith your humble words of gratitude!

I just saved you from certain doom,

Oh, r-right! Thank you!

so feel free to lavish me with praise!

Thank yo—

Oh, okay!

Die, Merlin! Foooouu!

Thank you very much!

- Fou?\N- Y-Y-You feral beast!

Thank y—

Th-They're fighting equally.

Murder Merlin!

Have you forgotten the years\NI took care of you?

Fou-san?

I never should've taken you in,\Nyou wicked beast! Cath Palug!

You feral creature!

How many paw lovers\Nhave you deceived with your cuteness?

They're... about equal in combat capabilities.

Merlin,

Cath Palug, you wicked beast! \NI never should have taken you in!

please limit your lunacy\Nto when you're alone at night.

How many have you lead astray with those \Nirresistibly cute li'l paw pads of yours?

Oh, good work, Ana!

Merlin. Please limit your lunacy to when you're alone at night.

You saved me once again.

Oh, excuse me. Good work, Ana.

This battle was not part of our contract.

You really helped us.

Be sorry instead of thanking me.

That battle was outside the scope of our contract.

That's harsh.

Instead of thanking me, reflect on your failings.

Now,

That was harsh!

we should introduce ourselves.

Now that we're all free, we should introduce ourselves.

I am Merlin.

This girl is Ana.

This little lady is Ana.

We're actually Servants.

She's a Servant, you see.

You can call me\N"Big Brother Merlin."

Please feel free to call me Merlin-oniisan!

What about you, Ana?\NWhat do you want them to call you?

What about you, Ana? \NWhat should we call you?

Wa—

Wh—

It doesn't matter. Ana is fine.

Ana will be fine.

Hold...

Hey—

Hold it!

Hold it right there!

Did you say "Merlin"?

Oh?

The great Mage of the Isle of Britain,\Nborn of a human and an incubus!

Did you just say “Merlin”?!

He guided the Altria Pendragon\Nto the throne and served as court mage!

The great magus of the British Isles, \Nborn of a human and an incubus,

One of the world's greatest kingmakers\Nand the world's biggest scoundrel!

and the world's greatest kingmaker,

And as a Servant?

who elevated Artoria Pendragon to the throne \Nand installed himself as the court mage,

The Grand Mage who shouldn't be able\Nto die until the end of the world?

and also its worst scoundrel and ne'er-do-well?

And a Servant, to boot?!

The Grand Caster whom even death cannot touch \Nuntil the very world burns out?!

Doctor...

He sounds pretty enthusiastic.

That sure got him going.

Thank you for a grand introduction\Nas expected, Romani Archaman.

I knew I could count on you for a \Nsplendid introduction, Romani Archaman!

Well actually,

Though, to be precise, while I do possess \Nthe qualifications to be Grand Caster,

I only have the right\Nto be given the Grand title.

I'm just a regular Caster right n—

I'm all but a normal Caster.

Don't give me that!

That's impossible!

Come clean, you big phony! \NIf you're the real Merlin, show us your true form!

Liar! If you're the real deal,\Nshow us your true form!

What's got the doctor so worked up?

What's gotten into Doctor?

He's probably hung up on the \Ndiscrepancies with the Merlin of legend.

It's probably because of discrepancies\Nin the legends about him.

The wizard Merlin

Merlin the Mage built a tower\Nin the utopia of Avalon,

built a tower within the utopian land of Avalon

and watches over the world\Nfrom there, never dying.

and watches over the world from there, never dying.

Therefore...

And so...

No one who's alive can become\Na Heroic Spirit, huh?

Since no one who's still alive \Ncan become a Servant, that means...

That's right.

That's just it!

First off, in terms of combat,\Nhe's completely useless!

First of all, that guy is absolutely useless in combat!

All Casters with the potential to be\Na Grand Caster are powerful clairvoyants.

All magi with the potential to become \NGrand Caster are powerful clairvoyants.

Solomon's eyes, for instance,\Ncan see the past and future.

Solomon, for instance, can see the past and future.

King Gilgamesh can see the future.

King Gilgamesh can observe the future as well.

But that scoundrel in front of you\Nis the worst of them!

And then that good-for-nothing \Nin front of you is the worst of all!

He can see everything in the present,\Nbut it's basically magic telescope!

He can see everything occurring in the present,

He's nothing more\Nthan a simply useful guy...

but all he ever does is watch!

Um, that's plenty amazing, isn't it?

It's ridiculously useful, but that's all it...

is...

Um, that sounds pretty good to me.

Doctor?

Hi! Sorry for butting in!

Hi there! Pardon me for interrupting.

First, thank you, Merlin.\NYou helped them get out of danger.

Merlin, let me thank you first off.

That was a little service.

You really saved them.

But it still doesn't make sense\Nthat you're a Heroic Spirit.

Think nothing of it. It's on the house.

You're still in Avalon, right?

But it still doesn't make sense that \Nyou were able to become a Servant.

I can tell you just the method.

You still exist in Avalon, don't you?

This Singularity manifested in an age\Nthat predates my appearance on Earth.

Hmm... I can tell you the method, at least.

In other words,\Nmy body doesn't exist here.

This Singularity manifested in an age \Nthat predates my appearance on Earth.

Which means that in this world, it could\Ntheoretically be said that you are dead.

In other words, I don't physically exist here.

So, you used that fact\Nto make yourself a Servant?

So in theory, it could be said that you're dead.

Something like that.

That's the principle by which you became a Servant?!

Also because I was called forth\Nby a strong summoner.

That sounds about right.

Is there a Master in this era\Nbesides Senpai?

I was also called forth by quite a strong summoner.

Yes, of course.

Is there another Master in this era besides Senpai?

I was summoned by him,

There certainly is.

and I now serve as his court mage.

I was summoned by him, and now I serve as his court magus.

On the other hand, the influence\Nof the Grail summoned Ana.

On the other hand, Ana here was summoned \Ndue to the influence of the Grail,

She's a Rogue Servant.\NThat is, she has no Master.

and is now a rogue Servant with no Master of her own.

I met Merlin two days ago.

I came across Merlin two days ago.

We made a contract to achieve our goals,

We formed a contract in order to \Nwork towards our goals as allies.

but I was deceived.

But he tricked me.

Merlin is the embodiment of every kind\Nof dishonesty, to say the least.

To put it mildly, Merlin is the embodiment \Nof every kind of dishonesty in this world.

Stop it! Don't tell them\Nthe truth straight up!

Aww, stop, you're making me blush.

I see.

How very interesting.

Romani, give it up.

Give it up, Romani. That's the real Merlin all right.

That's the real Merlin.

Oh, this is giving me indigestion.

My stomach hurts now.

Merlin, did you appear in order to help Chaldea?

Did you manifest\Nto work with Chaldea, Merlin?

Of course. Gazing at the present is my only joy in life.

Of course.

If that present were to be lost,

My only pastime in life\Nis watching the present.

I'd be reduced to a sad fellow with nothing to do \Nbut gaze out at my lonely flower garden.

If the present is lost,

And besides...

I'll be no more than a lonely man\Nstaring at the Garden in my tower.

I've been watching Fujimaru's fight all along. \NIt really kept me on the edge of my seat.

Besides...

It's no fair to cut me out of the fun now.

I've been...

Although it certainly makes sense for you to see me \Nas a threat, potential Grand Caster and all.

watching your whole fight\Non the edge of my seat, Fujimaru.

I'm sure all your other Casters will be jealous \Nwhen they realize they can't beat me

I don't think it's fair to not let me\Nbe part of your group now, do you?

and are doomed to warm the bench from now on!

Though, I totally understand I'm a threat\Nbecause I'm a Grand Caster.

Well then, everyone, we set off for Uruk at first light.

In the end, all other Caster-class Servants\Nwill realize they can't beat me

Once we meet the king, our next move should be clear.

and get shuffled off to the backup group!

Okay. We're glad to have you along, Merlin.

Well, team, let's head to Uruk at daybreak.

We appreciate your guidance.

When you meet the king, it should\Nbecome clear what you're meant to do.

It's settled, then.

Yeah. It's good\Nbeing with you, Merlin.

It is nice to be with you.

Then, it's settled.

What about you, Ana?

Will you come with us?

Going to a human settlement...

To a human settlement? I'm...

Please, Ana.

We'd be glad to have you, Ana.

No handshake please.

I would rather not shake hands.

Don't come close to me.

Please don't get too close to me.

We're finally understanding\Nthe situation here, Senpai.

We have a good grasp on the situation now, Senpai.

Yep.

Yeah.

With the rise of the Three Goddess Alliance,

With the sudden rise of the Three Goddess Alliance,

the Sumerian city-states\Nhave been dealt a devastating blow.

the Sumerian city-states were dealt a devastating blow.

That's why people have evacuated to Uruk.

Many of their people have fled to Uruk.

Yes. The Demonic Beasts' invasion up north\Nis the most serious issue at hand,

Yes. The invasion of the demonic beasts \Nin the north is especially grave.

as they're currently the major force\Nwiping out humanity.

They've become the greatest threat \Nto humanity in this era.

In response, Uruk's king\Nhas constructed a great fortress.

To counter this, the king of Uruk constructed that wall.

That is the Demonic Beast Front: Babylonia.

Which is known as Demonic Front Babylonia.

It's the very last fort\Nto protect the Mesopotamian world.

The final stronghold of Mesopotamia.

If the Demonic Beasts bring down Uruk,\Nhuman history is finished right there.

If Uruk falls to the demonic beasts, \Nhuman history ends there.

Therefore, what you need to do is...

So there are two things you must do, namely...

search for the Holy Grail that the King of Mages\Nsent to this era and retrieve it, and...

Find the Grail sent to this era by the King of Mages...

Take down the Three Goddess Alliance.

And bring down the Three Goddess Alliance.

Yes.

That's right.

Retrieving the Holy Grail should give us\Nan idea about the plot of the King of Mages.

Recovering the Grail will bring you one step \Ncloser to foiling the King of Mages' plan.

But if we leave\Nthe Three Goddess Alliance as is,

And stopping the Three Goddess Alliance is necessary \Nto ensure the Foundation of Humanity is restored.

the Foundation of Humanity\Ncan't be restored.

It looks like the first step in dealing \Nwith all of this is to get to Uruk.

In any case,

Is it true that it's King Gilgamesh who rules over Uruk now?

nothing starts until we arrive at Uruk.

Indeed it is. He who stood out among \Nthe ancient kings as the worst tyrant of all.

Is the one ruling over Uruk\Nthat King Gilgamesh?

What, really?

Yes, the most tyrannical\Nof all ancient kings.

Despising the arrogance of the gods, \Nhe severed ties with them,

Is that so?

and then declared that all the treasures of the world, \Nand all the loveliest women of the land, were his.

He severed his ties with the gods,\Nsaying that they're arrogant.

He would kill his own followers as \Nindiscriminately as he would his enemies.

And he claims all beautiful women\Nand treasures in the world as his own.

Th-That sounds kind of unreasonable.

He will kill you regardless of agreeing\Nor disagreeing with his opinion!

I-Isn't he just irrational\Nand unreasonable?

Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

He was a hero born of god and human.

A great hero born of god and human.

In his youth, he was fond of people\Nwhile also being a sage grounded in reason,

In his youth, he cared greatly for humanity, and was revered \Nas a great sage with ideals firmly founded in reason.

but he became the complete opposite\Nin his adolescence.

But as he came into adolescence, his personality turned \Nto the exact opposite, and he became a terrible tyrant.

He turned into an out-of-control tyrant.

In order to admonish him, the gods created Enkidu, \Nwhom we previously met.

To admonish him, the gods created the being\Nthat appeared before us, Enkidu.

But, as fate would have it...

But as fate would have it...

The two of them became the best of friends.

The two became best friends.

Enkidu...

Well, I'll tell you about their history later.

Well, all details aside,

Basically, someone bragging about possessing\Nthe originals of all the Noble Phantasms.

it's true that the treasury he likes to brag about \Nholds the original form of many Noble Phantasms,

An extremely arrogant\Nand cold-blooded tyrant.

and that he's the most arrogant, \Nruthless tyrant in the whole world.

Just remember that is Gilgamesh,\Nthe King of Heroes.

That's what the King of Heroes is like. \NDon't forget that, now.

L-Let's get some spirit into this!

I-I'll be sure not to!

Yes!

Right!

That looks like an inspection checkpoint.

That seems to be a checkpoint.

Would it be better if we sneaked through?

Do you think we can sneak through unnoticed?

Based on my experience, any quarrel here\Nwould escalate into a battle.

Speaking from experience, \Nwe don't want to do anything to piss them off.

You over there!

Hey, you!

If you stray from the road,\Nyou'll be cursed by the Ritual Sect!

If you stray too far from the path, \Nyou'll fall under the ritual sect's curse.

Uruk is surrounded by a ritual\Nwarding the Demonic Beasts,

Uruk is surrounded by a ward against demonic beasts, \Nbut it can cause some harm to humans, too.

but it seems to have some effects\Non humans, as well.

Understood. Thank you for the warning.

Okay! Thank you for the warning!

You're welcome.

Sure.

Are you refugees from Ur?

No, they're refugees from Girsu.

No, they're from Girsu.

As for myself, I engage in business.\NWith the Ritual Sect's permission.

I myself am here on business, with the \Nritual sect's permission, as you can see.

I'd like to evacuate them.

I wish to evacuate them into Uruk. \NAre there any procedures I need to follow?

Are there any procedures I need to follow?

This is...

This is the sigil of Lady Siduri.

Lady Siduri's seal.

You must be tired from your long trip!

You must be weary from your journey here.

Welcome to the city of Uruk!

Yes! Thank you very much!

Y-Yes! Thank you so much!

You in the black hood there...

You, over there, in the black hood.

What is it?

Yep.

Poor little thing.

I'm impressed you managed to walk\Nall the way here with your small build.

The journey here must have been hard \Nfor one as young as you.

Take this if you'd like.

Please take these, if you'd like.

They're sweets my daughter\Ngave me as an afternoon snack.

They're sweets my daughter gave me \Nfor my afternoon snack.

B-But...

Um...

Well...

I am, um...

You see, I'm...

Ana! Why don't you accept his kind offer?

Why not just accept his generosity?

Thank you very much.

I hope we meet again alive!

I hope to see you alive and well again.

We are fighting to survive,\Nand we spare no efforts if it's for the cause.

We're all fighting just to survive.

Now, let's get going.

We welcome all the help we can possibly get.

This is Uruk today...

Let's be off, then.

Mankind's oldest fortress city.

Here we are in humanity's final stronghold,

- Amazing!\N- Amazing!

the fortress city of Uruk!

Times may be dire,\Nbut the city remains lively, right?

Amazing!

Yeah.

Even in the shadow of constant war, \Nit's quite the lively place, isn't it?

I imagined all sorts of things\Nwhen I heard "ancient city,"

Yeah!

but this is beyond everything\NI imagined!

When I heard we were going to \Nan ancient city, I tried picturing it,

Yes! This is a fighting city so perfect\Nthat it would even work today!

but this is beyond my wildest dreams.

And everyone is smiling,\Nand they are so lively!

Yes! This is a city with defenses so perfect \Nit could even exist in modern times!

Sumerians started showing up\Nin history around 4000 B.C.

And look how happy all the citizens are!

But their civilization\Nwas quite elaborate.

The Sumerian people first appeared \Nin recorded history around 4000 BC,

It began when people abandoned\Na village-based society

already exhibiting an incredibly \Nadvanced communal civilization.

and formed city-states housing\Ntens of thousands of people

By pioneering irrigation, which greatly increased crop yield, \Nthey were able to abandon their village-based society

by pioneering crop production boosts\Nthrough irrigated farming.

and form city-states consisting of \Ntens of thousands of people.

Of course, with a country that big,

As the population grew, it was only a matter of time before \Nthe development of written language and higher education.

the invention of writing and the implementation\Nof higher education were only a matter of time.

The land they walked was fertile and the soil of good quality, \Nyielding clay which they used to build all kinds of fortifications.

The fertile lands created quality mud\Nwhich the Sumerians kneaded to make clay.

This is the land that mud, clay, wheat, \Nand sheep built: Mesopotamia.

That, in turn, was used\Nto build many fortresses.

We'll save the tour of Uruk for later.

That is Mesopotamia, the land\Nof mud, clay, wheat and sheep.

Let's go straight to the ziggurat.

Well, we'll save a tour of the city for later.

Let's head over to the ziggurat.

The ziggurat?

A shrine and altar for the Mesopotamians.

The place that served as shrine and altar \Nfor the Mesopotamian people.

Yeah.

That's right.

We're finally meeting King Gilgamesh.

Time for our audience with King Gilgamesh.

That is all I have to report, sir!

That concludes our report!

The newer the information\Nabout the war, the better!

The more current the information \Nfrom the battlefield, the better.

Keep me updated.

Yes, sir! We'll shift to bringing clay tablets\Nfrom the secretary every hour!

Yes, Your Majesty!

Good. Next.

We'll instruct the secretary to up the rate \Nof engraving of the tablets to once an hour!

The shipments from the city of Eresh\Nare being delayed, huh?

Good. Next?

Send 20 men from the eastern barracks\Nto clear the Demonic Beasts.

I see shipments from the city of Eresh are falling behind.

Temun can take command.

Send twenty men from the eastern barracks \Nto dispose of any demonic beasts blocking the way.

It's his home. He knows it well.

Let Temun command them. It's his homeland, \Nso he should know the terrain well.

Yes, sir!

Yes, Your Majesty!

By the way, I heard\Nthat Tabado's daughter is giving birth.

By the way, I hear that Tabad's daughter has gone into labor.

Send her a sacred prostitute to aid her,\Nalong with some healthy fruits.

Send a priestess to help her, and some nutritious fruit.

Yes. I will arrange as such right away.

Yes. I will arrange it right away.

And pull Tabado off the Northern Wall,

Also, relieve Tabad from duty on the northern wall \Nand grant him three days' rest.

and give him three days' rest.

The sight of his grandchild's face \Nwill bring him renewed vigor.

His grandson's face will give him courage.

Is this the report from the astrologers?

Somehow, I had the image\Nhe'd be a lot more terrible of a king,

I was expecting to find a cruel and terrible king, but...

but he's not that bad?

it looks like I was wrong.

But it doesn't seem\Nlike we'll be able to get a word in.

It doesn't seem like it will be easy to get a word in, though.

No, we need to work up\Nthe courage to talk to him!

We'll just have to work up the courage \Nto go over and talk to him!

That's right.

That's the right idea!

You shouldn't wait for the king\Nto have a spare moment.

Trying to be considerate won't get you \Nanywhere with a guy like him.

King Gilgamesh!

I, Merlin, Mage extraordinaire,

I, the mage Merlin, come bringing guests!

have brought guests!

Are you busy?

You busy?

I can tell just from looking, but I'll pay it no mind.

Yeah, I can see that, so don't worry!

Merlin!

So, you've returned,

So you have returned, Merlin.

Merlin the Mage.

Welcome back.

Welcome.

The king is overjoyed to see you again.

The king is happy to see you.

What news do you bring?

And how did it go?

Have you retrieved the Tablet of Destinies?

Did you bring back the Tablet of Destinies?

Another fruitless search, I'm afraid.

No, I didn't have any luck this time, either.

It looks like it isn't in the western forest either.

It's not in the western forest.

Good grief.

Jeez.

If only you could remember where you'd left it, \NI wouldn't have to go to all this trouble, Your Majesty.

If only you remembered\Nwhere you left it, Your Majesty,

Know your place, magus, and be silent.

I wouldn't have to work this hard.

Moreover... Who are these people?

Silence. Know your place, Mage.

They don't look like Uruk citizens to me.

More importantly,

It matters not.

who are those people?

I have more or less grasped the situation.

They don't look like Uruks.

Leave us, Siduri.

It's fine. I understand the situation.

King Gilgamesh? Could it be...

You may go, Siduri.

It's just as you suspect.

King Gilgamesh? Don't tell me...

Be ready to clean off my throne.

Just as you suspected,\NI'm going to make a mess of the throne!

I am busy.

I'm busy!

My time is far too precious to waste conversing with you.

Too busy to exchange words with you\Nto get to know you.

I shall ascertain the truth of your words \Nthrough battle instead.

Thus, I shall examine your genuineness...

Prepare yourself,

through battle!

Magus of the Observatory!

Prepare yourselves,

Mages of the Observatory!

Are those the Demonic Beasts from earlier?
No, that's not all.
To the north, there are Magical Energy\Nreadings of magnitude greater!
Unbelievable.
Is that castle wall keeping them in check?
Too early to be surprised.
They have been holding that wall\Nfor six months already.
S-Six months?
The soldiers have been driving back\Nan endless onslaught of Demonic Beasts.
But the humans suffer fewer casualties\Nthan the Demonic Beasts.
- Indeed.\N- Yes.
There are way more Demonic Beasts\Nthan the soldiers, though.
I wonder what kind of person\Nis in command of that fortress.
The person must be\Na brilliant general at the helm.
But they shed needless blood.
They don't need to kill every one of them.
They will go extinct\Nwithout even doing anything anyway.
Enkidu?
We are almost at the safe zone.
We should be able to make it\Nto Uruk by sunset.
But Enkidu,
we seem to be going\Nfarther away from Uruk.
There is a wharf at the river up ahead.
There is a boat docked there.
Once we get to the wharf,\Nall we have to do is take it downstream.
Oh my!
I didn't know that!
Hey, hello.
Sorry to scare you.
I'm not an enemy, so hear me out.
As you can see, we didn't know our way\Nthrough these trails and got lost.
I didn't expect to see humans in the territory\Nof the Goddess of Demonic Beasts.
That is unfortunate.
We're heading to Uruk.\NWill you come with us?
Of course! That would help us.
Some strange fate\Nmust have brought us together.
Can you tell us your name?
I'm Ritsuka Fujimaru.
My name is Mash Kyrielight.
This is Enkidu.
Enkidu?
That's a problem.
A big problem.
Why?
Because King Gilgamesh,\Nwho is commanding the front line in Uruk,
is the king who returned from his quest\Nfor the herb of immortality.
What does that mean—
Wait! If so, it doesn't make sense.
He didn't set out on that quest\Nuntil after the death of his friend, Enkidu.
And he's returned from the quest. It means...
Enkidu should've been dead a long time ago.
Mash!
Fujimaru... Ritsuka Fujimaru...
Incompetent fools of Chaldea.
I was so close, though. Just a little more,
and I would've seen something so very fun.
It's useless to try to flee.
You are already doomed.
The odds are against the two.
Ana, help them!
This wasn't part of the deal,
but I will protect them.
It's useless.
Don't you get it?
Mash!
You're using chains, of all weapons,\Nagainst me? You make me laugh.
Watch out!
You do make me laugh...
third-rate Servant!
Too pathetic to be taken seriously.
Did you really think such paltry attacks\Nwould stand a chance against me?
There's no need for me to defeat you.
Having a humanlike intelligence\Ncan sometimes backfire on you.
You should take this opportunity\Nto learn that.
I see...
I've been caught\Nin an illusory dream halfway through.
Which means that's the Mage\Nworking for Uruk.
I guess I'll have to withdraw for today.
Besides, I can't leave her alone\Nfor a whole day.
H-Huh?
Where's Enkidu?
Wow, that worked out great!
I felt a little guilty because it was\Nlike tricking an innocent child,
but we were facing Enkidu.
After all, that boy is working\Ndirectly for the King of Mages.
Enkidu's working for the King of Mages?
Was that really Enkidu?
Yes.
That's what he called himself\Nwhen he destroyed many fortress cities.
Though, while many Uruks seem\Nto want to believe he isn't the real thing.
Anyway, all that aside,\Nlet me formally say hello!
I saved you when you were in danger.
Please shower me, your savior,\Nwith your humble words of gratitude!
Oh, r-right! Thank you!
Thank yo—
Die, Merlin! Foooouu!
- Fou?\N- Y-Y-You feral beast!
Th-They're fighting equally.
Have you forgotten the years\NI took care of you?
I never should've taken you in,\Nyou wicked beast! Cath Palug!
How many paw lovers\Nhave you deceived with your cuteness?
Merlin,
please limit your lunacy\Nto when you're alone at night.
Oh, good work, Ana!
You saved me once again.
This battle was not part of our contract.
Be sorry instead of thanking me.
That's harsh.
Now,
we should introduce ourselves.
I am Merlin.
This girl is Ana.
We're actually Servants.
You can call me\N"Big Brother Merlin."
What about you, Ana?\NWhat do you want them to call you?
Wa—
It doesn't matter. Ana is fine.
Hold...
Hold it!
Did you say "Merlin"?
The great Mage of the Isle of Britain,\Nborn of a human and an incubus!
He guided the Altria Pendragon\Nto the throne and served as court mage!
One of the world's greatest kingmakers\Nand the world's biggest scoundrel!
And as a Servant?
The Grand Mage who shouldn't be able\Nto die until the end of the world?
Doctor...
He sounds pretty enthusiastic.
Thank you for a grand introduction\Nas expected, Romani Archaman.
Well actually,
I only have the right\Nto be given the Grand title.
I'm all but a normal Caster.
That's impossible!
Liar! If you're the real deal,\Nshow us your true form!
What's gotten into Doctor?
It's probably because of discrepancies\Nin the legends about him.
Merlin the Mage built a tower\Nin the utopia of Avalon,
and watches over the world\Nfrom there, never dying.
Therefore...
No one who's alive can become\Na Heroic Spirit, huh?
That's right.
First off, in terms of combat,\Nhe's completely useless!
All Casters with the potential to be\Na Grand Caster are powerful clairvoyants.
Solomon's eyes, for instance,\Ncan see the past and future.
King Gilgamesh can see the future.
But that scoundrel in front of you\Nis the worst of them!
He can see everything in the present,\Nbut it's basically magic telescope!
He's nothing more\Nthan a simply useful guy...
Um, that's plenty amazing, isn't it?
Doctor?
Hi! Sorry for butting in!
First, thank you, Merlin.\NYou helped them get out of danger.
That was a little service.
But it still doesn't make sense\Nthat you're a Heroic Spirit.
You're still in Avalon, right?
I can tell you just the method.
This Singularity manifested in an age\Nthat predates my appearance on Earth.
In other words,\Nmy body doesn't exist here.
Which means that in this world, it could\Ntheoretically be said that you are dead.
So, you used that fact\Nto make yourself a Servant?
Something like that.
Also because I was called forth\Nby a strong summoner.
Is there a Master in this era\Nbesides Senpai?
Yes, of course.
I was summoned by him,
and I now serve as his court mage.
On the other hand, the influence\Nof the Grail summoned Ana.
She's a Rogue Servant.\NThat is, she has no Master.
I met Merlin two days ago.
We made a contract to achieve our goals,
but I was deceived.
Merlin is the embodiment of every kind\Nof dishonesty, to say the least.
Stop it! Don't tell them\Nthe truth straight up!
I see.
Romani, give it up.
That's the real Merlin.
My stomach hurts now.
Did you manifest\Nto work with Chaldea, Merlin?
Of course.
My only pastime in life\Nis watching the present.
If the present is lost,
I'll be no more than a lonely man\Nstaring at the Garden in my tower.
Besides...
I've been...
watching your whole fight\Non the edge of my seat, Fujimaru.
I don't think it's fair to not let me\Nbe part of your group now, do you?
Though, I totally understand I'm a threat\Nbecause I'm a Grand Caster.
In the end, all other Caster-class Servants\Nwill realize they can't beat me
and get shuffled off to the backup group!
Well, team, let's head to Uruk at daybreak.
When you meet the king, it should\Nbecome clear what you're meant to do.
Yeah. It's good\Nbeing with you, Merlin.
It is nice to be with you.
Then, it's settled.
What about you, Ana?
Will you come with us?
Going to a human settlement...
Please, Ana.
No handshake please.
Don't come close to me.
We're finally understanding\Nthe situation here, Senpai.
Yep.
With the rise of the Three Goddess Alliance,
the Sumerian city-states\Nhave been dealt a devastating blow.
That's why people have evacuated to Uruk.
Yes. The Demonic Beasts' invasion up north\Nis the most serious issue at hand,
as they're currently the major force\Nwiping out humanity.
In response, Uruk's king\Nhas constructed a great fortress.
That is the Demonic Beast Front: Babylonia.
It's the very last fort\Nto protect the Mesopotamian world.
If the Demonic Beasts bring down Uruk,\Nhuman history is finished right there.
Therefore, what you need to do is...
search for the Holy Grail that the King of Mages\Nsent to this era and retrieve it, and...
Take down the Three Goddess Alliance.
Yes.
Retrieving the Holy Grail should give us\Nan idea about the plot of the King of Mages.
But if we leave\Nthe Three Goddess Alliance as is,
the Foundation of Humanity\Ncan't be restored.
In any case,
nothing starts until we arrive at Uruk.
Is the one ruling over Uruk\Nthat King Gilgamesh?
Yes, the most tyrannical\Nof all ancient kings.
Is that so?
He severed his ties with the gods,\Nsaying that they're arrogant.
And he claims all beautiful women\Nand treasures in the world as his own.
He will kill you regardless of agreeing\Nor disagreeing with his opinion!
I-Isn't he just irrational\Nand unreasonable?
Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.
He was a hero born of god and human.
In his youth, he was fond of people\Nwhile also being a sage grounded in reason,
but he became the complete opposite\Nin his adolescence.
He turned into an out-of-control tyrant.
To admonish him, the gods created the being\Nthat appeared before us, Enkidu.
But as fate would have it...
The two became best friends.
Enkidu...
Well, I'll tell you about their history later.
Basically, someone bragging about possessing\Nthe originals of all the Noble Phantasms.
An extremely arrogant\Nand cold-blooded tyrant.
Just remember that is Gilgamesh,\Nthe King of Heroes.
L-Let's get some spirit into this!
Yes!
That looks like an inspection checkpoint.
Would it be better if we sneaked through?
Based on my experience, any quarrel here\Nwould escalate into a battle.
You over there!
If you stray from the road,\Nyou'll be cursed by the Ritual Sect!
Uruk is surrounded by a ritual\Nwarding the Demonic Beasts,
but it seems to have some effects\Non humans, as well.
Okay! Thank you for the warning!
Sure.
Are you refugees from Ur?
No, they're refugees from Girsu.
As for myself, I engage in business.\NWith the Ritual Sect's permission.
I'd like to evacuate them.
Are there any procedures I need to follow?
This is the sigil of Lady Siduri.
You must be tired from your long trip!
Welcome to the city of Uruk!
Yes! Thank you very much!
You in the black hood there...
What is it?
Yep.
I'm impressed you managed to walk\Nall the way here with your small build.
Take this if you'd like.
They're sweets my daughter\Ngave me as an afternoon snack.
B-But...
Um...
I am, um...
Ana! Why don't you accept his kind offer?
Thank you very much.
I hope we meet again alive!
We are fighting to survive,\Nand we spare no efforts if it's for the cause.
Now, let's get going.
This is Uruk today...
Mankind's oldest fortress city.
- Amazing!\N- Amazing!
Times may be dire,\Nbut the city remains lively, right?
Yeah.
I imagined all sorts of things\Nwhen I heard "ancient city,"
but this is beyond everything\NI imagined!
Yes! This is a fighting city so perfect\Nthat it would even work today!
And everyone is smiling,\Nand they are so lively!
Sumerians started showing up\Nin history around 4000 B.C.
But their civilization\Nwas quite elaborate.
It began when people abandoned\Na village-based society
and formed city-states housing\Ntens of thousands of people
by pioneering crop production boosts\Nthrough irrigated farming.
Of course, with a country that big,
the invention of writing and the implementation\Nof higher education were only a matter of time.
The fertile lands created quality mud\Nwhich the Sumerians kneaded to make clay.
That, in turn, was used\Nto build many fortresses.
That is Mesopotamia, the land\Nof mud, clay, wheat and sheep.
Well, we'll save a tour of the city for later.
Let's head over to the ziggurat.
The ziggurat?
A shrine and altar for the Mesopotamians.
Yeah.
We're finally meeting King Gilgamesh.
That is all I have to report, sir!
The newer the information\Nabout the war, the better!
Keep me updated.
Yes, sir! We'll shift to bringing clay tablets\Nfrom the secretary every hour!
Good. Next.
The shipments from the city of Eresh\Nare being delayed, huh?
Send 20 men from the eastern barracks\Nto clear the Demonic Beasts.
Temun can take command.
It's his home. He knows it well.
Yes, sir!
By the way, I heard\Nthat Tabado's daughter is giving birth.
Send her a sacred prostitute to aid her,\Nalong with some healthy fruits.
Yes. I will arrange as such right away.
And pull Tabado off the Northern Wall,
and give him three days' rest.
His grandson's face will give him courage.
Is this the report from the astrologers?
Somehow, I had the image\Nhe'd be a lot more terrible of a king,
but he's not that bad?
But it doesn't seem\Nlike we'll be able to get a word in.
No, we need to work up\Nthe courage to talk to him!
That's right.
You shouldn't wait for the king\Nto have a spare moment.
King Gilgamesh!
I, Merlin, Mage extraordinaire,
have brought guests!
You busy?
Yeah, I can see that, so don't worry!
Merlin!
So, you've returned,
Merlin the Mage.
Welcome.
The king is happy to see you.
And how did it go?
Did you bring back the Tablet of Destinies?
No, I didn't have any luck this time, either.
It's not in the western forest.
Jeez.
If only you remembered\Nwhere you left it, Your Majesty,
I wouldn't have to work this hard.
Silence. Know your place, Mage.
More importantly,
who are those people?
They don't look like Uruks.
It's fine. I understand the situation.
You may go, Siduri.
King Gilgamesh? Don't tell me...
Just as you suspected,\NI'm going to make a mess of the throne!
I'm busy!
Too busy to exchange words with you\Nto get to know you.
Thus, I shall examine your genuineness...
through battle!
Prepare yourselves,
Mages of the Observatory!

Are those... the same demonic beasts again?
No. I'm afraid it's much worse.
The mana readings from the north \Nare dozens of times greater than before.
I can hardly believe it.
Is that wall really holding them back?
Does that surprise you?
Then what if I told you they've maintained \Nthese defenses for half a year already?
H-Half a year?!
Their soldiers have been fighting against this \Nendless onslaught of beasts for all that time,
and yet the beasts have sustained \Nfar greater losses than the human side.
So it seems.
Indeed.
The enemy should be overwhelming them, \Nand yet they hold their ground.
Who in the world is commanding this fortress?
It must be a truly brilliant general.
Hmph.
All this unnecessary bloodshed.
There's no need to destroy everything.
Why not just wait until they die out on their own?
Honestly...
Enkidu?
Safety is but a stone's throw away.
We should arrive at Uruk by sunset.
Excuse me, Enkidu-san, but isn't Uruk the other way?
There's a dock on the banks of the river up ahead.
It still has boats, so once we reach it, \Nwe need only sail downstream.
Well, well! What wonderful news!
Hello there. Sorry if I startled you.
We mean no harm, so would you hear me out?
As you can see, we've lost our way in the forest. \NThe animal trails can be quite confusing.
But I am surprised to see humans here, \Nin the territory of the Goddess of Demonic Beasts!
I'm sorry to hear that.
We're headed to Uruk. Would you care to accompany us?
Of course! That would be a great help.
I can't help but feel our meeting here was by fate.
Might I ask your names?
I'm Fujimaru Ritsuka.
My name is Mash Kyrielight.
And this is Enkidu.
Enkidu?
That might be an issue.
A pretty big one, at that.
Why is that?
Well, you see, because the King Gilgamesh \Ncurrently commanding the front line of Uruk
has already returned from his search \Nfor the herb of immortality.
Which would mean...
Wait! Then this doesn't make sense!
No, it doesn't. King Gilgamesh only set out on his quest \Nfor immortality after the death of his friend Enkidu.
If that's already in the past,
that would mean that Enkidu is long since—
Mash!
Fujimaru...
Fujimaru Ritsuka.
You and the other incompetent fools from Chaldea.
What a terrible shame.
Just a little further, and you \Nwould have put on quite the show.
It's pointless trying to run.
Your fate has long since been sealed.
Hmm. I think this might be \Na bit much for only two to handle.
Ana! Lend them a hand!
This wasn't part of our deal, \Nbut I'll protect them anyway.
I told you it's pointless.
Know your place.
Mash!
Of all the weapons to use against me, \Nyou chose chains? Don't make me laugh.
This is bad!
Thank you for the entertainment,
you third-rate Servant!
How utterly pathetic.
Did you really think your paltry abilities \Nstood a chance against me?
There is no need for me to defeat you.
Having humanlike intelligence \Ncan be a double-edged sword.
Take this as an object lesson.
I see.
At some point during the battle, \NI was ensnared in a dream.
This must be the work of that magus of Uruk.
I suppose I'll have to give up for now.
I cannot leave her alone for an entire day.
What happened?
Where's Enkidu?
Wow, that sure worked out great!
That felt kind of bad, like playing a trick on a child, \Nbut you can't be too careful with Enkidu.
That lad is the direct subordinate \Nof the King of Mages, after all.
Enkidu's in league with the King of Mages?!
Was that the real Enkidu?
Yes.
Or so this mysterious youth has proclaimed \Nat the site of every destroyed fortress city so far.
Though the people of Uruk are loath to believe \Nthis is anything but the lies of an impostor.
But never mind that.
It's a delight to meet you all!
I just saved you from certain doom,
so feel free to lavish me with praise!
Oh, okay!
Thank you very much!
Thank y—
Murder Merlin!
Fou-san?
You feral creature!
They're... about equal in combat capabilities.
Cath Palug, you wicked beast! \NI never should have taken you in!
How many have you lead astray with those \Nirresistibly cute li'l paw pads of yours?
Merlin. Please limit your lunacy to when you're alone at night.
Oh, excuse me. Good work, Ana.
You really helped us.
That battle was outside the scope of our contract.
Instead of thanking me, reflect on your failings.
That was harsh!
Now that we're all free, we should introduce ourselves.
I am Merlin.
This little lady is Ana.
She's a Servant, you see.
Please feel free to call me Merlin-oniisan!
What about you, Ana? \NWhat should we call you?
Wh—
Ana will be fine.
Hey—
Hold it right there!
Oh?
Did you just say “Merlin”?!
The great magus of the British Isles, \Nborn of a human and an incubus,
and the world's greatest kingmaker,
who elevated Artoria Pendragon to the throne \Nand installed himself as the court mage,
and also its worst scoundrel and ne'er-do-well?
And a Servant, to boot?!
The Grand Caster whom even death cannot touch \Nuntil the very world burns out?!
Doctor...
That sure got him going.
I knew I could count on you for a \Nsplendid introduction, Romani Archaman!
Though, to be precise, while I do possess \Nthe qualifications to be Grand Caster,
I'm just a regular Caster right n—
Don't give me that!
Come clean, you big phony! \NIf you're the real Merlin, show us your true form!
What's got the doctor so worked up?
He's probably hung up on the \Ndiscrepancies with the Merlin of legend.
The wizard Merlin
built a tower within the utopian land of Avalon
and watches over the world from there, never dying.
And so...
Since no one who's still alive \Ncan become a Servant, that means...
That's just it!
First of all, that guy is absolutely useless in combat!
All magi with the potential to become \NGrand Caster are powerful clairvoyants.
Solomon, for instance, can see the past and future.
King Gilgamesh can observe the future as well.
And then that good-for-nothing \Nin front of you is the worst of all!
He can see everything occurring in the present,
but all he ever does is watch!
It's ridiculously useful, but that's all it...
is...
Um, that sounds pretty good to me.
Doctor?
Hi there! Pardon me for interrupting.
Merlin, let me thank you first off.
You really saved them.
Think nothing of it. It's on the house.
But it still doesn't make sense that \Nyou were able to become a Servant.
You still exist in Avalon, don't you?
Hmm... I can tell you the method, at least.
This Singularity manifested in an age \Nthat predates my appearance on Earth.
In other words, I don't physically exist here.
So in theory, it could be said that you're dead.
That's the principle by which you became a Servant?!
That sounds about right.
I was also called forth by quite a strong summoner.
Is there another Master in this era besides Senpai?
There certainly is.
I was summoned by him, and now I serve as his court magus.
On the other hand, Ana here was summoned \Ndue to the influence of the Grail,
and is now a rogue Servant with no Master of her own.
I came across Merlin two days ago.
We formed a contract in order to \Nwork towards our goals as allies.
But he tricked me.
To put it mildly, Merlin is the embodiment \Nof every kind of dishonesty in this world.
Aww, stop, you're making me blush.
How very interesting.
Give it up, Romani. That's the real Merlin all right.
Oh, this is giving me indigestion.
Merlin, did you appear in order to help Chaldea?
Of course. Gazing at the present is my only joy in life.
If that present were to be lost,
I'd be reduced to a sad fellow with nothing to do \Nbut gaze out at my lonely flower garden.
And besides...
I've been watching Fujimaru's fight all along. \NIt really kept me on the edge of my seat.
It's no fair to cut me out of the fun now.
Although it certainly makes sense for you to see me \Nas a threat, potential Grand Caster and all.
I'm sure all your other Casters will be jealous \Nwhen they realize they can't beat me
and are doomed to warm the bench from now on!
Well then, everyone, we set off for Uruk at first light.
Once we meet the king, our next move should be clear.
Okay. We're glad to have you along, Merlin.
We appreciate your guidance.
It's settled, then.
What about you, Ana?
Will you come with us?
To a human settlement? I'm...
We'd be glad to have you, Ana.
I would rather not shake hands.
Please don't get too close to me.
We have a good grasp on the situation now, Senpai.
Yeah.
With the sudden rise of the Three Goddess Alliance,
the Sumerian city-states were dealt a devastating blow.
Many of their people have fled to Uruk.
Yes. The invasion of the demonic beasts \Nin the north is especially grave.
They've become the greatest threat \Nto humanity in this era.
To counter this, the king of Uruk constructed that wall.
Which is known as Demonic Front Babylonia.
The final stronghold of Mesopotamia.
If Uruk falls to the demonic beasts, \Nhuman history ends there.
So there are two things you must do, namely...
Find the Grail sent to this era by the King of Mages...
And bring down the Three Goddess Alliance.
That's right.
Recovering the Grail will bring you one step \Ncloser to foiling the King of Mages' plan.
And stopping the Three Goddess Alliance is necessary \Nto ensure the Foundation of Humanity is restored.
It looks like the first step in dealing \Nwith all of this is to get to Uruk.
Is it true that it's King Gilgamesh who rules over Uruk now?
Indeed it is. He who stood out among \Nthe ancient kings as the worst tyrant of all.
What, really?
Despising the arrogance of the gods, \Nhe severed ties with them,
and then declared that all the treasures of the world, \Nand all the loveliest women of the land, were his.
He would kill his own followers as \Nindiscriminately as he would his enemies.
Th-That sounds kind of unreasonable.
Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.
A great hero born of god and human.
In his youth, he cared greatly for humanity, and was revered \Nas a great sage with ideals firmly founded in reason.
But as he came into adolescence, his personality turned \Nto the exact opposite, and he became a terrible tyrant.
In order to admonish him, the gods created Enkidu, \Nwhom we previously met.
But, as fate would have it...
The two of them became the best of friends.
Enkidu...
Well, all details aside,
it's true that the treasury he likes to brag about \Nholds the original form of many Noble Phantasms,
and that he's the most arrogant, \Nruthless tyrant in the whole world.
That's what the King of Heroes is like. \NDon't forget that, now.
I-I'll be sure not to!
Right!
That seems to be a checkpoint.
Do you think we can sneak through unnoticed?
Speaking from experience, \Nwe don't want to do anything to piss them off.
Hey, you!
If you stray too far from the path, \Nyou'll fall under the ritual sect's curse.
Uruk is surrounded by a ward against demonic beasts, \Nbut it can cause some harm to humans, too.
Understood. Thank you for the warning.
You're welcome.
Are you refugees from Ur?
No, they're from Girsu.
I myself am here on business, with the \Nritual sect's permission, as you can see.
I wish to evacuate them into Uruk. \NAre there any procedures I need to follow?
This is...
Lady Siduri's seal.
You must be weary from your journey here.
Welcome to the city of Uruk!
Y-Yes! Thank you so much!
You, over there, in the black hood.
What is it?
Poor little thing.
The journey here must have been hard \Nfor one as young as you.
Please take these, if you'd like.
They're sweets my daughter gave me \Nfor my afternoon snack.
B-But...
Well...
You see, I'm...
Why not just accept his generosity?
Thank you very much.
I hope to see you alive and well again.
We're all fighting just to survive.
We welcome all the help we can possibly get.
Let's be off, then.
Here we are in humanity's final stronghold,
the fortress city of Uruk!
Amazing!
Even in the shadow of constant war, \Nit's quite the lively place, isn't it?
Yeah!
When I heard we were going to \Nan ancient city, I tried picturing it,
but this is beyond my wildest dreams.
Yes! This is a city with defenses so perfect \Nit could even exist in modern times!
And look how happy all the citizens are!
The Sumerian people first appeared \Nin recorded history around 4000 BC,
already exhibiting an incredibly \Nadvanced communal civilization.
By pioneering irrigation, which greatly increased crop yield, \Nthey were able to abandon their village-based society
and form city-states consisting of \Ntens of thousands of people.
As the population grew, it was only a matter of time before \Nthe development of written language and higher education.
The land they walked was fertile and the soil of good quality, \Nyielding clay which they used to build all kinds of fortifications.
This is the land that mud, clay, wheat, \Nand sheep built: Mesopotamia.
We'll save the tour of Uruk for later.
Let's go straight to the ziggurat.
The ziggurat?
The place that served as shrine and altar \Nfor the Mesopotamian people.
That's right.
Time for our audience with King Gilgamesh.
That concludes our report!
The more current the information \Nfrom the battlefield, the better.
Keep me updated.
Yes, Your Majesty!
We'll instruct the secretary to up the rate \Nof engraving of the tablets to once an hour!
Good. Next?
I see shipments from the city of Eresh are falling behind.
Send twenty men from the eastern barracks \Nto dispose of any demonic beasts blocking the way.
Let Temun command them. It's his homeland, \Nso he should know the terrain well.
Yes, Your Majesty!
By the way, I hear that Tabad's daughter has gone into labor.
Send a priestess to help her, and some nutritious fruit.
Yes. I will arrange it right away.
Also, relieve Tabad from duty on the northern wall \Nand grant him three days' rest.
The sight of his grandchild's face \Nwill bring him renewed vigor.
Is this the report from the astrologers?
I was expecting to find a cruel and terrible king, but...
it looks like I was wrong.
It doesn't seem like it will be easy to get a word in, though.
We'll just have to work up the courage \Nto go over and talk to him!
That's the right idea!
Trying to be considerate won't get you \Nanywhere with a guy like him.
King Gilgamesh!
I, the mage Merlin, come bringing guests!
Are you busy?
I can tell just from looking, but I'll pay it no mind.
Merlin!
So you have returned, Merlin.
Welcome back.
The king is overjoyed to see you again.
What news do you bring?
Have you retrieved the Tablet of Destinies?
Another fruitless search, I'm afraid.
It looks like it isn't in the western forest either.
Good grief.
If only you could remember where you'd left it, \NI wouldn't have to go to all this trouble, Your Majesty.
Know your place, magus, and be silent.
Moreover... Who are these people?
They don't look like Uruk citizens to me.
It matters not.
I have more or less grasped the situation.
Leave us, Siduri.
King Gilgamesh? Could it be...
It's just as you suspect.
Be ready to clean off my throne.
I am busy.
My time is far too precious to waste conversing with you.
I shall ascertain the truth of your words \Nthrough battle instead.
Prepare yourself,
Magus of the Observatory!
