Gilgamesh Si Chapter 3 (Patreon)

King of Conquerors didn't expect to see King of Heroes, in one of the establishments known as a 'Cafeteria'.

Sitting at one of the outside tables and enjoying 'coffee', it was not something the ancient conqueror would have expected to find when he decided to explore the city.

"King of Conquerors. It seems you enjoying the city just as much as I am." Gilgamesh said as he took a sip of his morning coffee.

"Haha! Indeed! This age is full of wonders! Did you know how much warfare has evolved over the years!?" The excited Conqueror of Macedonia said with a bright and jovial look.

"I do, you should watch some documentaries on two wars which consumed the whole world," King of Heroes said with a knowing look.

This instantly got the Conquerors attention, it seems Gilgamesh knows how to pique the man's curiosity.

"Take a seat." The blonde King motioned to take one of the seats.

"Do you want any of the treats this establishment has?" The Mesopotamian King offered the menu to the red-haired man.

"It doesn't have any strong drinks, this place prefers to sell food and drink for people who going to work and have a snack beforehand." Gilgamesh clarified as he took some of the pastry.

"Hoho, you already adapted to this world this quickly?" The Macedonian Conqueror was impressed by the speed which King of Heroes adapted to the world.

"Unlike most Servants, I care more about my surroundings, know the environment and you will find ways to utilise it to your advantage." The Golden King explained casually to Rider.

Who only nodded in turn, understanding what the blonde wants to say.

"You are right, I do try to blend in! Got my 'casual'  clothes too!" The redhead fist-bumped himself in the chest where the map of the world is drawn, it has written 'Master Strategist' in Japanese.

The blonde Servant only snorted amusingly seeing that.

"Now for a more interesting topic, why don't we have a gathering of only us, Kings? This is a great opportunity! Never before such a thing ever happened we have three Kings in this war!" Rider said while checking the menu looking for anything of interest.

"In Saber's place, I presume? Her Master has a castle in the middle of a forest." Gilgamesh had a thoughtful look while saying that.

"Haha! I like the way you think! Yes, it sounds like a good setting for a banquet of Kings!" Iskandar said that while lifting his head from the menu and looking at the Blonde King.

"Does this mean you are going to come?"

"Hmm, I suppose I will after I hunt down Caster." The Mesopotamian King said with a thoughtful look.

"Oh? You found Caster? I thought you won't be interfering in early fights and allowing other Servants to have their fill of battles." King of Conquerors said with a frown.

"Normally I won't, but this mongrel was abducting my subjects, more specifically children." The blonde Servant pulled out a newspaper and showed it to the redhead.

The front page was showing in big letters about some sort of serial kidnapping of children happening.

This was enough for Rider to get serious too.

"I see… if you need my help I am willing to assist you in this."

*Snort*

"Don't be ridiculous King of Conquerors, there is barely anything in this world powerful enough for me to request assistance, besides I already have a plan in mind."

"Oh? Willing to share the details?" The Macedonian King asked curiously.

"Personally executing the mongrel for kidnapping my subjects," Gilgamesh said that quite seriously, and Rider was smart enough to understand what that means.

The golden hero is going to utterly destroy Caster.

"Hahaha, Fair enough."

"Indeed, I suggest in meantime prepare things for this banquet of yours. It's your idea after all." The blonde suggest to the red-haired Rider.

"Sound advice. I will visit several establishments to gather some resources." Rider agreed with King of Heroes advice.

"Good, now let's taste more of this food."

"...you are going to pay for these, right?" Rider asked shamelessly.

*Snort*

"Obviously. I am manifestation of wealth after all."

"Hahaha, fair enough."

~~~~~~Later~~~~~~

Tokiomi with the pair of priests was having a meeting away from public eyes.

The Master of Archer discreetly arrived at the church to discuss the growing problem of Caster.

"What you said about Caster is true, Tokiomi. We received information that several children are missing in Miyama Town. If this continues we will attract even more attention than we should." The older priest seriously said to the Magus.

"This is urgent and we can't waste time."

Tokiomi slowly nodded, he can't believe something like this happened at such a critical time.

'How in Roots name such Servant was summoned? The very system was done that only Servant with Good or Neutral affinity could be summoned!' The head of the Tohsaka family thought with a deep frown, he could not understand this at all.

"Indeed we can't."

Golden particles gathered, and moments later Gilgamesh appeared sitting in one of the couches.

In his hands, he was holding a cup of tea.

But, the aura the priests and Tokiomi felt from him was that of the pissed-off individual.

And pissed of King of Heroes made everyone in the room anxious and even afraid of what he could do.

"This is how we going to proceed." The blond King said that before taking a sip.

"We all know that the mongrel is interested in my Saber believing that she is Joan of Arc, this means that he will be moving this evening, more specifically attacking Saber's base.

The lunatic has some common sense and only acts in the nighttime. So, we can largely assume he will act this night as he doesn't look like someone who has patience.

This mean that I will know where the rapid dog will be, this leaves us with his Master." Gilgamesh looked at Kirei after explaining.

"Kirei you will send all of your Assassins to hunt down the fool who summoned this lunatic."

"Your Excellency, you have some idea who is the Master?" The younger Kotomine asked respectfully.

*Snort*

"Of course, there was a serial killer on loose before the war started, according to the news he was not caught yet.

To summon someone like Bluebeard one needs either a relic related to him OR…"

"A compatibility…" Tokiomi finished, and the blonde King nodded in turn.

"But, where to start looking? Even with Assasins help, it can take several days to check the whole city in depth." The older priest pointed that out.

"There is no need to check the whole city. For starters you should check all the places which could work as Workshops. Second, places which are big enough to be one.

Like sewers, warehouses, abandoned buildings, this should lower the search radius."

"Very well, then I shall relay the command to the Assassin at once." The younger Kotomine said that with a bow before leaving.

"Good, then I shall wait for nightfall…" After saying that the blonde King disappeared, in a burst of golden particles.

"This is what it feels like when he is serious…" Tokiomi said while his hand was shaking.

"Indeed… the bloodlust…Soon enough Caster will experience it first hand, good riddance." The older priest said with a relieved voice, he is thankful that someone of King of Heroes calibre is looking into dealing with rogue Caster.

"Nonetheless, we should make it official Tokiomi, this is a good chance for you to receive one of these." Risei Kotomine said that while showing off his right hand which had multiple command seals.

"...It would come in handy Father Kotomine." The Tohsaka family head said with a more relieved tone, this is the perfect opportunity to have more command seals just in case he needs to reign in Gilgamesh.

~~~~~~Nightime~~~~~~

Just like predictions came to be Caster went to Saber's location.

Leading a group of children he asked for Saber to come meet him, if not he will start killing the kids.

For seriousness sake, he killed one from the get-go.

This made Saber act immediately, who went to the forest to face the mad Caster.

Only that It was a trap, there was no chance of saving the children, as they all turned into tentacle monsters, looking similar to some starfish from horror stories.

Immediately after that Saber was surrounded by these creatures, which started their attack.

Even though these monsters were weak compared to Servants there were simply too many of them as Caster used his Noble Phantasm and started bringing in more of these monstrosities from Gods knows were.

Thankfully before Saber was captured Lancer saved her.

This only pissed Caster more who brought even more starfish monsters in.

Surrounding Saber and Lancer.

"Any ideas how we going to reach Caster?" Lancer asked the King of Knights.

"The more we kill these creatures the more it would seem to appear." The Irish Hero said with a frown.

Before Saber can offer some sort of solution to this problem a familiar voice spread through the forest.

"You two don't move, stay still."

Moments later the sky turned gold and countless weapons started to rain all over the pair of Knight class Servants.

""Archer/King of Heroes""

The pair of Servants needed to cover their faces from the amount of dust this attack has created.

Once the dust has settled down their gaze went up, moments later their eyes bulged out as they saw some sort of plane/boat thing floating in the air with green like wings.

A few moments later Gilgamesh himself descended from this floating thing.

"Mongrel, you shall be punished for abducting my subjects, once I am through with you nothing will be left."

Caster screamed with some inhuman howl, the lunatic with bulged out like eyes was pulling out his hair.

"How dare you interfere in my time with holy Virgin!!!"

*Snort*

Gilgamesh motioned with his hand and golden portals surrounded Caster, creating a dome of gold, moments later tens of weapons of all shapes and sizes rushed at the insane Servant.

It only lasted for a moment but the lunatic screamed for a bit before being cut short by flying weapons shredding Caster apart.

Once it was over King of Heroes motioned with his hand and all the portals closed and weapons returned to the vault.

It was over.

Just as the blonde said nothing was left of the crazy Servant.

The blonde King turned around and looked at the pair of gobsmacked Knights.

"I have heard about this filth, doing as he pleases in my lands, only death awaits those who break my law." He said with crossed hands.

Both of them gulped down. Saber only saw one way to deal with this Servant when she is going to face him.

The only problem is that she doesn't have Avalon with her…

Such attack which attacks from all directions… even from the ground.

It was a complete 360-degree attack, unavoidable…

"You have my thanks for your assistance King of Heroes." Chivalrous as ever Lancer thanked the golden King.

"Don't mention it. I didn't want any of you to die before your battle is finished properly."

The Lancer slowly nodded he was satisfied with that answer.

While Saber was not so much, she has this feeling that the blonde King doesn't care about chivalry he has a different goal in mind.

Nonetheless, the King of Knights knows her etiquette.

"You have my thanks as well."

Gilgamesh only hummed before looking towards the castle.

So, did Lancer…

"Lancer?"

"My Master...he is in danger."

"Then go, make sure he survives." The Mesopotamian King motioned for him to leave.

"My thanks, King of Heroes." Lancer turned into his spirit form before leaving.

Leaving only Saber and Archer.

The blonde King of Britain was nervous, only she didn't show on her face, she has no idea how the fellow blond brain operated.

She can't understand him, he is arrogant and full of himself. Yet, he goes out of his way to avenge some children he never knew off, even calls them his subject…

"There is no need for you to be on edge, Saber. I won't be fighting you today." He said that very simply as he started to walk.

Moments later large portal opened on the ground and the same flying ship came out of it.

"King of Conqueror will be visiting you soon, he decided to hold a banquet in your castle, I will see you there."

And just like that, he flew away…

"...What?"
