In Uruk

Hessian POV

If there's one thing I could never truly understand, it's divinity. Maybe it's just because I'm a mortal but, how the fk does it work? Is it just a higher quality energy source? What's the core difference between mana, spiritual energy and divinity? Also how the hell does Fou have the strength to drop kick Merlin to the ground?

These thoughts plague me as I watch the tiny Beast Primate Murder fight Merlin in an evenly matched duel on the ground.

"Senpai, shouldn't we do something?" I turn to my frantic kouhai and shake my head

"It's better if Merlin dies" the lolidusa says without remorse

"I agree with Ana. Although death might be a bit much" I respond as the two on the ground seemed to finish their little death match.

"That's terrible you two! I saved you guys, please shower me with your humble words of grattitude!" the mage of roses protested

"Oh, r-right! Thank you!" the demi-servant bowed

"I would, but then I remember you've technically ruined Doctor Roman by being Magi Mari" I comment

"Wait, he's what!?" the doctor cries out from his chair

"However" I say as I walk up to him with my hand held out "As a fellow pervert, I can trust you!" I say with burning eyes

"Wow, you really are blunt" he smiles wryly as he returns the gesture

"Oh gods, there's two of them now" I hear Ana say in the background

"Wait, can we get back to the Magi Mari thing!?"

"Begone, I have no need of Chaldea." Gilgamesh declared to the group

"Know that I am capable of all things and so, possess all knowledge. For what reason should I give you the grail?" he said as he twirled the grail in his hand

The young magician had a wide smile on his face "Ah but how about a trade worth your while!?"

"Senpai? Do we actually have anything to trade?" Mash whispered from the side

"Hoh? and what could you possibly offer? Humanity's Final Master." the king seemed intrigued

Hessian took out swung his hand out to reveal multiple photos.

"WHAT I HAVE HERE IS MULTIPLE PHOTOS OF ISHTAR IN EMBARRASSING AND COMPROMISING SITUATIONS! I HAVE MULTIPLE ANGLES AND EVEN HAVE ONE THAT INVOLVES SPANKING! I WORKED HARD TO GET THESE MYSELF WHEN I MET HER EARLIER!" the young magician laughed maniacally

"Deal!" an instant reply from the golden king

"WAIT A MINUTE YOU BASTARDS!" the building shook as a golden blast of mana shot through the wall of the Zigurrat and destroyed the pictures.

"NOOOO! ALL MY HARD WORK!!" Hessian released tears of despair over the destroyed photos despite the fact that he could probably recreate them with magic

"I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU!" The goddess seemed incredibly pissed as she blasted mana at the despairing protagonist.

"MASTER!" Before the demi-servant could move to intercept. The young magician's eyes seemed to turn red as a creepy smile appeared on his visage.

In an instant he disappeared from his position and reappeared in the air with a camera in hand.

"I JUST HAVE TO GET NEW MATERIAL THEN!" he roared as he charged at the goddess "PREPARE YOURSELF GODDESS OF VENUS! FOR YOU FACE THE GREATEST PHOTOGRAPHER IN URUK!"

"I'm pretty sure photographers don't exist in this time period" Merlin said from the side

"No, there is a similar profession. Although it involves carving stone and painting" Gilgamesh cut in

In the end, the commotion was stopped by Siduri as it wasn't allowed to blaspheme the goddess. The Chaldeans were kicked out and forced to work their way up.

Hessian POV

This is bliss, absolute bliss. This texture, these cheeks, this face.

"Master, I don't think what you're doing is appropriate" Mash speaks out from the side.

"No, I do not mind Hessian-dono's headpats. In fact it reminds me of my brother" Ushiwaka responds as she has an expression of bliss

I'm not just giving headpats here, I'm caressing her cheeks and nearly feeling her up at this point. I can't help it, I did the same to my own Ushiwakamaru back at Chaldea. She was the servant I used in the game through all the singularities because It took me 7 months to get my first SSR. So it's no surprise that I have a huge soft spot for her!

"I haven't seen Lord Ushiwakamaru like this in a long time" Benkei says from the side

"Speak another word and I'll decorate the walls with your head" She immediately threatened

There was something I've been wondering since I came here. Am I still allowed in the underworld? In the past I was given residence in the underworld by Ereshkigal herself, however this is a different underworld. Which means this world's Eresh wouldn't know who I am. But I still have her pass that allows me to enter the underworld and fly around. I'll have to check myself later when I have the time.

"Ana, how do you like the sweets?" I ask over to where Ana was stuffing her face with a bunch of sweets I made

"It's good. Thank You."

"Oh? Let me try one of those then." before Merlin could grab one of the sweets, he was forced to duck before a scythe lopped his head off.

"How mean! Don't you know that sharing is caring!?" he cried out indignantly

"Merlin doesn't deserve any." was the instant response

"Hey Ushi, want to sleep in the same bed toni-" I was cut off as I was sent flying from a fist impacting my cheek

"Senpai, please save your sexual harrassment for when we get back to Chaldea." Mash deadpanned

Wow she has been really scary about this sort of stuff since we slept together.

"I wouldn't have minded though." Ushi's remark was ignored

Down within the underworld, a certain blonde goddess was going insane as she rolled around the ground.

"AAAH, WHAT THE HELL ARE THESE MEMORIES!?" she cried out as memories have been seeping into her head for the past few days.

This went on for another few days until it finally stopped. Within the dark underworld where the only source of light was from the souls of the dead. The Goddess of the Underworld floated up slowly. Her eyes were blank for a moment until she started to chuckle.

"kehehehehHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" the laughter became more insane as time passed and continued for a few minutes until she stopped with a disturbing smile. "Hessian-kun...."

The way she said that name was like a high-schooler dealing with her first love. Then her voice became incredibly dark. "YoU WOnt ESCaPe tHIs TImE" her voice distorted as she transformed into her Skeletal Gallu spirit form

Ereshkigal, Goddess of Kur. Had received the memories of her alternate self who ended up obsessing over a certain young magician.
