Chapter 554: Meeting! Gilgamesh and Kid Gil!

"I was wrong..." Illya looked at Lin Ye before her, feeling aggrieved.

Lin Ye: "Louder!"

"I was wrong!" Illya shouted loudly. While rubbing her little cheeks that had been pinched red by Lin Ye, she glared at Lin Ye with wide, indignant eyes.

Of course, she was just angry; there was no hatred in her eyes. She was a bit spoiled, but she wasn't unable to distinguish right from wrong. Although Lin Ye bullied her, she didn't feel humiliated; what she felt was Lin Ye's care.

That's right, it was care. This is the Holy Grail War; the winner killing the loser is the most natural thing. Yet, Lin Ye only pinched her little cheeks, and his words were also reminders and protection. This made Illya feel concern and care from someone else for the first time in her life.

Well, Heracles is a Heroic Spirit, Sella and Leysritt are homunculi, so saying Lin Ye is the first person is correct.

Seeing Illya admit her mistake, Lin Ye rubbed her little head and said, "Alright, now that you know you were wrong, go back to the Einzbern castle and stay there honestly with Heracles. Don't go out and provoke people foolishly, you hear?"

"Ah? But I still want to participate in the Holy Grail War!... Wuwu! Don't pinch anymore, my face is going to swell up! Berserker! Come save me!"

Illya cast a pleading look at Heracles, who had just been released from the Enkidu binding, but Heracles silently turned his head away, pretending not to see.

"Wuwu~ I know!"

What else could Illya say? She could only submit to Lin Ye's "clutches."

Seeing Illya being obedient, Lin Ye finally let go of the hand pinching her little cheeks.

"Let's go! Berserker!"

Illya glared at the disloyal Heracles beside her, then jumped onto Heracles's shoulder.

Then the two figures, one large and one small, turned and disappeared at the end of the street.

"Done."

Lin Ye clapped the dust off his hands and then turned and disappeared into the night sky.

Watching the battle end, the group of observers dispersed and returned.

Inside Gilgamesh's golden villa, watching the battle end, Gilgamesh curled his lips in disdain.

"Really, how does this guy Lin Ye make all kinds of friends? And those guys too, what kind of status do they have, actually having the same friend as this King!"

Gilgamesh never had any opinion about Lin Ye, but he had opinions about Lin Ye's friends. Painters, assassins, religious believers, dog-owners—all sorts of people, truly lowering his own status.

And just as Gilgamesh was talking to himself, a voice rang out behind him.

"I say, you guy, why have you become like this?"

Hearing this voice, Gilgamesh didn't even turn his head to know who had come. How could he forget this voice!

"How did you descend too?"

Gilgamesh finished this sentence before turning his head. Before him, a beautiful, fair-skinned youth with golden hair and red eyes was standing there.

He was none other than the young Gilgamesh! And also the Kid Gil who had returned with Lin Ye!

Gilgamesh and Kid Gil stared at each other; in an instant, the air in the entire room seemed to turn cold.
