Sona let out another sigh, this one a tired sigh.

Being born a nobleman wasn't as good as it looked. One's freedom was eternally bound, handcuffed. There were many responsibilities to be fulfilled. One must be ready to be a bird in a cage when born into a noble family.

Sona was aware of this and she decided to be a serious person because she was responsible as heir to the House of Sitri. Although her life was full of responsibilities, she was still trying to fulfill her dream. It was tiring, but Sona knew her limits. She never overestimated herself as her rival.

However, she looked forward to it. She could only hope that Rias failed to recruit Gilgamesh and she would sweep him up and recruit him with everything at her disposal.

*With Gilgamesh.*

It was now possible to see Gilgamesh and Mordred walking through the streets of Kuoh city at night.

Although it was a little late it was still possible to see movement in the streets, although it was relatively small.

Gilgamesh wore a white shirt with a black blouse over the top and also black pants and sneakers, he had some jewelry with him, like a ruby ​​necklace around his neck.

Mordred wore a short red shirt that showed off her belly and also jeans and sneakers, she also had a hamburger and a milkshake in hand.

Looking at her Gilgamesh can't help but wonder where so much food goes, as servants don't need to eat, but Mordred was basically a black hole.

"What's it?" asks Mordred as Gilgamesh stares.

"Nothing. I was just thinking," said Gilgamesh, looking away.

The reason they are here now is that they were following Issei Hyoudou on his date.

Moved by the desire to get the [Boosted Gear], Gilgamesh followed Issei and Yuuma/Raynare on their encounter.

"Hey master why don't we just kill the pervert and get his Sacred Gear?" asked Mordred.

It was simple for her, they kill the perverted insect and take their Longinus.

Simple!

Gilgamesh chuckled a little at Mordred's haste.

He knew the Servant hated Issei a lot, especially after he tried to watch her while she changed her clothes.

God, that was scary.

He could still remember Issei's screams of pain as he took a beating from Mordred.

He had to beg her to stop or else she would kill Issei.

Since that day the pervert never tried anything again with Mordred, Gilgamesh remembers that he had been in a coma for two days due to the beating.

"It's not that simple Mordred, I can only steal the Sacred Gear from people attacking me, not from those who show no hostile intent," explains Gilgamesh.

It's true that with his [Launder] he could steal Sacred Gear from those he killed, Gilgamesh had dozens of these Sacred Gear from people who fought him over time stored in the [Gate of Babylon].

But [Pillage] only works if Gilgamesh kills someone with hostile intent towards him, otherwise it wouldn't work.

In Gilgamesh's eyes, Raynare and his mob were only a small problem. It was so small and insignificant that it was basically insignificant.

The reason he continued this pathetic farce was because of his damn pride.

Pride was a destructive thing. Sometimes it was magnificently useless to someone with cold logic. However, living without pride was like living without a soul. This sinful thing has always been in a formant state within the heart of all living beings, waiting for the catalyst to wake up and assume the collected calm and logic.

In the past, like Diogo, he was proud, but not as great as his current pride, like Gilgamesh the King of Heroes.

Reaching into his pocket, Gilgamesh pulled out a small pamphlet that had the Gremory family symbol marked on it.

This was a contract that was given to him by Rias Gremory's family.

Gilgamesh knew that Rias would try to manipulate him, but he still couldn't help feeling irritated.

Rias was a proud and selfish woman. She would not accept anything that was contrary to her wishes. Proud with massive ego everywhere was the same. Nobody would accept as the wrong side. Only accepted on the winning and legitimate side. However, not everyone could be so easily. It takes power to support such a big ego. Unfortunately for Rias, she was the weakest among them. The difference in power was like a dragon that flies in the sky and a worm that crawls in the mud. However, Rias was blind to the truth. She was still deluded to be superior because she thought Gilgamesh was no more than a mere human.

While traveling through the years Gilgamesh saw many things.

And what made him most angry was the way humans were treated by supernatural beings.

Gilgamesh hated the way devils made them slaves and the Fallen Angels and the Church made them experiments.

During his time in the Church Gilgamesh prevented many of these experiments and killed all who tried to do so.

Gilgamesh could be seen as a defender of humans.

If he had on anyone's side, it would be the humans.

But unlike Cao Cao who wanted to test the limits of humanity, Gilgamesh saw no point in something so foolish.

If Cao Cao continued with his plans he would only put a bigger target on his back and then he would be killed and he would have no one else to protect the humans.

Gilgamesh would protect them from the shadows.

Any being he tried to harm them would simply die.

So you must wonder why he doesn't help Issei?

It's because Issei didn't have pride as a human.

Even if Gilgamesh saves him it was only Rias to offer him to reincarnate as a devil he would accept at the time.

Gilgamesh hated that he threw himself his humanity away for a simple pair of boobs.

Sighing Gilgamesh turned his attention to the pamphlet and in an instant it caught fire and disappeared.

"So Mordred shall we see our guests?" Gilgamesh asks Mordred.

Mordred grinned before stepping forward and shouting.

"Cowards appearing," cried Mordred.

At the same moment, the sky changed to a purple color and all the people nearby disappeared.

"A barrier," said Gilgamesh.

From the sky ten silhouettes appeared.

There were eight men and two women.

The men ranged from looking between twenty and forty, but their appearance was the same, men with black hair and purple eyes.

A woman had black hair and blue eyes as well as a voluptuous body.

The other woman was a little girl with blue hair.
