After Asher helped Tiamat change into her clothes, she just sat in the chair, seemingly in a daze. Asher simply sat beside her, also in a daze. Originally, Asher had intended for Tiamat to change by herself while he waited at the door. But when she made an "Aaaa" sound and Asher entered the room, upon seeing her changed, he silently covered his forehead.
It seemed she had no concept of "clothes" at all? If so, why did she even ask to wear this outfit? Truly perplexing.
So, Asher drew the curtain, muttering, "She's a mother, she's a mother," while helping Tiamat into her clothes.
Then, he looked her over and couldn't help but secretly admire. She really was beautiful. Her long cyan hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, the ends naturally falling to her calves and slightly curling. Her cheeks were fair with a faint blush. Compared to the "Mother" Asher had seen in the dream, the current Tiamat had undergone a significant change in demeanor: dignified, serene, pure, and exuding an elegant softness.
"She really does look good," Asher couldn't help but say. If one ignored the two curved, massive horns on her head.
Of course, it wasn't that the horns were ugly; it was just that without them, Tiamat looked no different from an ordinary woman.
"Aaaa (I don't want to wear a hat)" Tiamat pointed to a floral hat nearby.
Looking at Tiamat sitting on the small chair, with her slightly swaying giant horns, Asher couldn't help but chuckle. You can't wear it even if you wanted to. He grumbled inwardly, then, as if something occurred to him, he tentatively asked, "By the way, why did you suddenly want to change into that outfit?" Could it be that Tiamat had just arrived in this city and experienced the various aspects of human life?
"Aaaaa (The children here are good)" Tiamat replied with a very soft, song-like voice.
Asher suddenly realized something. For Tiamat, all humans and gods were her children. A child had specially given their mother a gift, and the mother did not want to disappoint the child's expectations, so she chose to "use" this item. Perhaps before putting on the clothes, she didn't even know that the item was meant to be worn. Or perhaps she knew, but simply didn't know how to put them on.
"What do you think of this place?"
Tiamat glanced at Asher, but didn't speak. What does that mean? Asher couldn't help but wonder.
"Never mind, let's not talk about that. Shall we go for a walk outside?" Tiamat shook her head, her eyes downcast, not speaking.
"Are you worried that everyone will be afraid of you?"
Asher tried to guess Tiamat's meaning. She nodded
gently, looked around, and sang softly in a very small voice: "Aaaa (It won't cause a commotion here)" Asher looked into her eyes, which were calm and clear, as if stating the most ordinary thing. And it was indeed true; everyone might not say anything outwardly, but deep down, they would still feel awe and fear, because this was the Progenitor Goddess, and also the Beast that could destroy humanity.
But Asher just smiled, "Don't worry, it won't cause a commotion. If everyone was afraid of you, they wouldn't have let you into the city gates. Didn't you see the sights along the way?" Tiamat tilted her head slightly, a hint of confusion in her eyes. Asher reached out and grabbed Tiamat's wrist, "Let's go, let's go outside and see how different your old era is from now."
"Butter cake, delicious butter cake, would you two like a piece of butter cake? It's a free giveaway today!" As the two walked onto the street, they immediately heard an uncle's shout. Free giveaway? Are you doing charity?
Asher grumbled inwardly, and he probably understood what these people meant. He didn't act overly polite, turning his head to ask, "Do you want some?" Tiamat looked up at Asher, then at the butter cake the vendor had already packed and handed over. She took it and bit into it.
"How is it?" Asher asked. "Anna really likes this, you know." A certain girl hiding in the shadows blushed slightly and mumbled, "I don't like it at all." Tiamat silently nodded, then continued walking forward. Asher followed closely.
After watching the two leave, the vendor who had just given away the cake sighed in relief, his shoulders drooping limply. To be honest, having to face Tiamat as an ordinary person, even trying his best not to look at the horns on her head, still made his heart pound. After all, in a sense, this was their "mother," and an existence that could destroy this land. No matter how much they suppressed it, they couldn't completely hide that tremor.
"You two, would you like some grilled lamb? Fresh lamb!"
After walking a short distance, an uncle immediately greeted them. Asher looked at Tiamat. Tiamat nodded again.
"It's all fresh," the uncle said with a hearty smile. Asher took the lamb skewers, threaded on slender wooden sticks, and handed them to Tiamat. Watching Tiamat silently gnawing on the lamb, Asher also began to eat.
"Where else do you want to go?" Asher asked. Tiamat
looked up at Asher, pointed at him, but didn't speak.
"You mean for me to lead the way?" Asher muttered to himself, then looked up and smiled, "Okay, then let's continue exploring ahead."
At this moment, people, or rather Servants, were crouching in various corners. Some were munching on lamb skewers, others were holding a flask of wine, squatting in the shadows and gulping it down. If one didn't observe carefully, it would be impossible to tell they were hiding in such places.
"Move, you're blocking my view." Anna pushed Merlin with a very disgusted tone.
"Hey, don't push me," Merlin said, clutching a wine flask in one hand and intimately placing the other on Anna's shoulder. "It's fine to secretly observe Asher, but it's okay to relax a bit, isn't it? No need to be so nervous. Look, that vendor is calling you." As he spoke, Merlin pointed to the uncle who was making butter cake not far away; he was smiling and waving at Anna. "Aren't you going to check it out? Maybe he has something good for you?"
Anna buried her head, answering in a cold tone: "Stop nagging, it has nothing to do with you." After speaking, she stepped out from the shadowy corner and glanced at the smiling Merlin again, "Don't lose track of them."
"Leave it to me!" Merlin burped as he spoke. He didn't look
reliable at all.
In another corner at this moment, Jeanne was secretly observing Asher.jpg. "It seems quite normal, just taking Goddess Tiamat for a walk on the street," she murmured softly after observing for a moment.
"Where else could they go if not on the street?" Mordred asked strangely from beside her.
"No... I thought it would be something more intimate" Jeanne coughed lightly, her cheeks faintly reddening, "I mean, it seems we don't need to worry too much about Goddess Tiamat destroying Uruk anymore."
Mordred gave Jeanne a strange look. "Hmm, yeah." For some reason, Mordred always felt that whenever it involved her Father, the Saintess's attitude seemed a bit strange, often saying things that were hard to understand.
"Looks like I can go back and have a couple of drinks with Ushiwakamaru tonight earlier than planned," Mordred suddenly muttered, watching Asher and Tiamat in the distance.
"Aren't you afraid of your Father finding out?" Jeanne asked.
"Wha" Mordred's eyes suddenly widened. "Th-this has nothing to do with Father?!" Although she said this, her expression was clearly a bit guilty. Then, as if something occurred to her, she slowly looked up at Jeanne, and a mischievous smile suddenly appeared on her lips. "Then I'll rely on you to distract Father."
"I'll try my best," Jeanne replied with a helpless smile.
"Eh?" Mordred was suddenly surprised. "You actually agreed?"
"Just this once, not again," Jeanne smiled.
"Thanks, I knew you were a good person." Mordred immediately nudged Jeanne playfully with her elbow, only to hear her murmur: "I'm not a good person at all."
Everything was just for herself.
Unconsciously, the sun was almost setting. In one
afternoon, Asher took Tiamat on a tour of Uruk, even going to the outskirts and accepting the hospitality of the locals. Everyone along the way showed a very enthusiastic side, and Servants who "coincidentally" passed by also smiled at Asher and Tiamat. But Tiamat remained silent throughout, simply allowing Asher to lead her around the streets, her gaze wandering to the various stalls.
"What are you thinking about?" Asher raised his hand and waved it in front of her eyes.
"Aaaa (This place is very prosperous)" "Humans are social creatures; this is the prosperity they created," Asher said.
"Aaaa (They are all good children)" "There are bad people too, but I think most are good," Asher replied.
"Aaaaa (I want to go for a walk outside)" she continued.
"Is there anywhere else you want to go?" Asher asked. In one afternoon, they had already visited most places in Uruk. This was Tiamat's first awakening, so she should naturally not know much about the city of Uruk. Asher thought she shouldn't know anywhere else to go.
"Aaa (The seaside)" Tiamat's voice sounded: "Aaaaa (It's very quiet there; not many people will be watching me)" The seaside... is that where she awoke today? Asher paused, then gave Tiamat a deep look, then glanced at the various corners behind them, and then looked up at the sky.
A certain goddess immediately scurried into the clouds in a panic. Although he couldn't see anyone, Asher could feel many gazes. Even he could feel them, let alone Tiamat.
Asher suddenly understood something and sighed silently. No matter what he said or did, Tiamat's identity would not change, so it wasn't strange that people were secretly observing her now. This included the residents and soldiers in the city; even if they acted gentle, they couldn't completely conceal their fear and awe. After an unknown period of time, Tiamat, who had awakened from her slumber, was out of touch with this era.
"Sleipnir," Asher suddenly said softly. A horse's neigh suddenly came from within the city. The vendors who had been secretly observing and the people hiding in the shadows were stunned; no one seemed to have expected Asher to suddenly call out his mount at that moment.
"Let's go. Before it gets dark, I'll take you to the seaside," Asher extended his hand to Tiamat, under her puzzled gaze. "With Sleipnir's speed, we'll have enough time for a round trip."
...
"King, the target has left Uruk!" In the divine tower, a Uruk soldier hurriedly entered the hall to report urgently.
"King, Ritsuka and others claim their speed has broken the sound barrier! Goddess Ishtar is currently in pursuit!"
A second Uruk soldier rushed into the hall.
"King, Ushiwakamaru says Goddess Ishtar has fainted after crashing into a tree during the pursuit!"
"Report! Goddess Ishtar has lost track of the target!"
"Ushiwakamaru failed to catch up with the target!"
"According to the latest intelligence, someone claims they are heading towards the Persian Gulf!"
Continuous reports kept coming in, leaving even Gilgamesh, seated on his throne, somewhat astonished.
After a moment, he gradually calmed down and waved his hand: "Enough, leave this matter to Asher. You all may return now. This King grants you special permission to rest well today."
Then, after watching the soldiers leave the hall one by one, Gilgamesh rubbed his forehead as if he had a headache. Asher, what on earth are you thinking? You actually actively sent the target back to the Persian Gulf, over 700 kilometers away from Uruk. What on earth is he thinking? If he stayed here, even if Tiamat suddenly went berserk, there would still be the help of several goddesses, and the underworld controlled by Ereshkigal beneath the ground, perhaps there would still be some chance, but he actually actively sent Tiamat back.
...
Asher stood before the valley. Tiamat walked barefoot towards the valley cliff, gazing at the distant sea. Faint sounds of waves could be heard. The dark blue tide crashed against the reefs, creating white foam. The last ray of twilight had completely vanished.
"We were still a step late," Asher said with some regret.
Although he had made Sleipnir speed up, most of the afternoon was spent in Uruk city. By the time they decided to leave, the sun was almost setting.
Tiamat didn't speak, calmly gazing at the sea. The sea breeze made her skirt flutter, revealing a pair of delicate white, long legs with unknown red markings on her thighs. She stood straight at the cliff's edge, tucking her wind-blown cyan hair behind her ears, her pupils seemingly reflecting the entire sea. Asher followed her forward and looked down. The valley here was quite a distance from the ground; an ordinary person falling down would probably die instantly.
"Were you happy today?" he turned to look at Tiamat.
She nodded gently. Asher was wondering how to ask her if she still wanted to "destroy humanity."
"Don't worry," but before he could speak, Tiamat suddenly said.
Asher froze. He wanted to ask Tiamat why she could speak human language, but his voice stopped abruptly, because he heard Tiamat's next words.
"I will go back."
