Sure enough, looking at these "courtiers" who were very pleased despite being threatened by him, Gilgamesh felt very satisfied. He was brave with a sword and unafraid of death. Yes, they deserved to be called Uruk's courtiers.
"Alright, whoever among you came here to explain the situation in this world to me and to tell me why you all know me, speak up!" Gilgamesh demanded.
As he spoke, Gilgamesh retracted his King's Treasure. Seeing this, the people, reassured that Gilgamesh wouldn't harm them, couldn't help but get excited. Indeed, Gilgamesh was still Gilgamesh!
Some might think that Gilgamesh was a person who liked to kill innocent people, based solely on his portrayal in anime. However, in reality, Gilgamesh was not someone who enjoyed killing; he was a very complex character.
"Your Majesty, let me explain!" The man who had been scolded initially approached Gilgamesh. Despite feeling a little nervous, he took out his phone and started playing a video for Gilgamesh. The video naturally depicted scenes from Fate/Zero.
Watching himself on screen, Gilgamesh couldn't help but pause and start watching intently.
"What's going on? I clearly didn't participate in this Holy Grail War. Why am I in it?" Gilgamesh exclaimed as he saw himself being attacked by the knights of the Round Table. His anger flared, "Who dares to oppose me! When I find them, I'll slash them with my sword!"
One of the onlookers interjected, "My lord, you can't kill them without EA (Sword of Rupture)."
When Gilgamesh saw himself on screen shouting to the king, "Put down the sword and become my king's wife," he nodded silently, "Yes, this woman is indeed qualified to be my king's concubine."
All the fans... OOohhh!
"Well, Your Majesty, Artoria is much more popular than you, and... she has more fans than you," the man said, trying to be tactful. He was Gilgamesh's number one fan, but he had to be honest: there were more fans of Artoria than of Gilgamesh.
"What! You mean I'm not as good as her?" Gilgamesh glanced at the enthusiastic fan in front of him. What did he mean? What did he say just now? The most ancient king himself was not as popular as a girl!
"You just said that I'm a character in this guy named Alexander's story! Is this Alexander trying to blackmail me?"
"That... shouldn't be the case," the fan said, adjusting the picture to the last chapter, which showed Gilgamesh in the black mud.
Seeing himself bathed in black mud, Gilgamesh remained silent. After a moment, he said, "So, you mean I was really drawn by this man named Alexander?"
"Others may have been, but you are Gilgamesh, who really existed in history, so you shouldn't count," the fan replied.
"Ah, I see. That makes sense. Well, I'll take this thing called a mobile phone." Gilgamesh picked up the phone from the fan's hand. This device was more intriguing than he had thought, and he wanted to keep it.
"Ah! My lord! I cherish this phone! I..." Before the fan could finish speaking, Gilgamesh inserted a golden treasure into the ground!
"This is..."
"I don't bother with ordinary people's possessions. This is an E-grade treasure, and I'm giving it to you. It's worth ten of your items." Gilgamesh threw out over 100,000 treasures, dismissing them as E-grade garbage. But to the fan, it was a priceless treasure! What was this? What kind of concept was this?
"Alright, now, who among you knows where this Alexander is? Tell me! I'm going to find him and settle the score!" Gilgamesh declared. He wasn't one to let things slide, especially when it came to someone who had depicted him, whether as his creator or not!
