Gilgamesh in DxD

Chapter 55

Chapter 55

Asia looked at him shocked. Her green eyes widened and I could see there were unshed tears beneath them before her expression was replaced by a bitter smile.

"I... Hero-san... Do you know my story?" She asked me softly.

"Yes, I don't know any details other than that you were excommunicated due to the curethat devil." I told her and notice her muscle tense.

"This this..."

"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to." Gilgamesh cut her off again and I placed my hand on her shoulder, making her look at me. Giving her a small smile, I continued.

"I want to be friends with you. I don't care about your past. It's because you're a nice girl who also seemed fun to talk to."

"But I don't have common sense, I've never lived outside the Church before." Asia told me with watery eyes. It was if she was trying to reject me, but at the same time she didn't want to either.

"This is an easy thing to fix, you'll learn in time. I'll help you." Visit for the best novel reading experience

"I can't even speak Japanese, Hero-san."

"We're speaking Japanese now, didn't you notice?" Gilgamesh asked with a smile and his eyes widened.

"We are?" She asked back. "How?"

"Magic..." Gilgamesh replied simply and it was true. Gilgamesh had already learned a spell that allowed me to speak in any language.

Asia looks surprised by this before slowly letting out a small laugh. It sounded beautiful.

"However..." Gilgamesh spoke again and caught her attention. "Being friends with me won't be easy." Gilgamesh said, "As you see, I am a hero. And heroes will always have enemies. If you are my friend, my enemies can target you" Gilgamesh declared and his eyes widened.

"You want to have a normal life, don't you? I can tell you. But if you're my friend, you won't have any of that..."

In truth, Gilgamesh wanted to say more, but found his throat dry for a moment. Everything I said before was true, but it was just the tip of an iceberg. It wasn't even deep enough to get to the heart of my situation, but seeing his expression, seeing his eyes filled with hope of living a normal life like all students and teenagers...

However, during his break, Asia surprisingly gave him another smile. It wasn't as radiant as before, as it was filled with bitterness.

"I... I don't think I'll ever have a normal life Hero-san... Not anymore..." She spoke bitterly. "You're... like me, aren't you, Hero-san? You're talented..."

Ah...

She understood... She understood what Gilgamesh was trying to say.

I continued looking at the sky for a while.

Seeing Asia reminded me of someone else.

"Gabriel" I say, but my voice is a whisper.

"Awake Master" came a voice behind me and as I turned around I saw Mordred standing there eating a cookie.

Starving!

"Yes, and why are you awake?" I ask.

"Could I ask the same question?" Mordred says with a laugh as she sits beside me and starts gazing at the stars.

We were silent for a while until Mordred spoke.

"I think you were right about that conversation, master." said Mordred.

I hesitated until I remembered what she was talking about.

Gilgamesh and Mordred were talking while fighting in the dungeon.

"Hey Mordred did I hear your wish was to take Caliburn off the stone?" asks Gilgamesh as he unleashes a wave of Ice freezing the devils.

Mordred who was cutting them with Clarent stopped and looked at Gilgamesh.

"Exactly, so when I take her out my father should recognize me as King," says Mordred firmly.

"But what will you do when you become King?" asks Gilgamesh.

"Idon't know," says Mordred with her head down.

"I think you already know, you just don't see it" says Gil.

"I'm not seeing?" asks Mordred in doubt.

Gilgamesh nods his head before summoning a sword and starting to slay the devils.

I remembered that conversation I had with Mordred.

"I just wanted to become King to save my father from isolation, he was someone who couldn't laugh or cry. If I became King he wouldn't have to go through this anymore. I thought it was enough if I tried to pick up the things he left." Mordred talked as she looked up at the stars and I just listened to her.
