—Yes! Hehe, I'm so happy! To be told I'm like the King of Heroes! I look forward to our time together, King!
<...I see. So this is what it feels like to watch a child grow.>
Quetzalcoatl's Wrestling Ring
"A ring in my own room...! Chaldea is the best! Gracias, King of Heroes! I'll never be bored!"
"I don't mind, but you'll have to find your own opponents. Dolls and constructs won't even serve as a warm-up."
"Of course. That's why..."
"I've been waiting, Quetz! Let's do this! I'm going to show you the peak of feminine charm! Witness the power of Medb!"
"I accept all challengers! King, you must show me your 'Uruk-Arts' one day!"
"Hmph. If you wish to taste the dirt so badly, I won't stop you."
I should probably look up 'feminine charm' in a dictionary later...
Ereshkigal's Chic and Modern Office
"Thank you. You... you're like a completely different person. To think you'd prepare a room like this for me."
"I simply do not tolerate compromise. I do not perform work that leaves me unsatisfied. That is all."
"Hmm... I see. You just wanted to look cool for Ea, didn't you?"
"Wh—!"
—But you're already so cool! And you're trying to be even better?! As expected! The King of Heroes is amazing! Did you see that, Eresh-chan?! This is the King I admire so much!
(Wow, she's like a puppy wagging its tail... I definitely can't afford to mess up now...)
"At any rate," the King cleared his throat. "Forget your duties for a while and spread your wings. Marduk wishes for that as well."
'HONESTLY.'
"Thank you. Oh, would you like some tea? I've brought a lovely blend and some sweets. Let's take a break."
"Did someone say sweets?"
"It's the 'Naturally Adorable' Fou!"
—Enkidu! Fou!
(Good work, Ea! Let's keep doing our best!)
—Yeah!
"How carefree. But fine. Let us spend the time leisurely..."
Medusa (Lancer)'s Shapeless Isle
"Thank you... very much..."
"I can't hear you~!"
"THANK YOU VERY MUCH!"
"It matters not. You snakes should get along."
"Lovely... she's so lovely... how can she be so cute..."
"Medusa... is acting... weird."
"Ahem! If there is anything you don't understand, please ask me."
"Thank you, 'Big Me'."
"Big—"
"Hehe. Having the truth shoved in your face is cruel, isn't it? But endure it. This is the only place where such a time exists."
"The eyes of persecution are gone. Savor the passing of time for as long as you wish."
Jaguarman's Dojo
"Here it is! My Reality Marble! It feels just like home! This is where the sacrifices gather—to be split in two, turned into dolls, or swallowed by the mud... GAH!"
"What is all the racket? Is there something else?"
"Jaguar has noticed something missing! The right frame! Something! Is missing! There aren't enough gym shorts! My Jaguar-Snark can't reach its peak without them! This is a Jaguar Identity Crisis! This is like a Tezcatlipoca-style catastrophe where there's no rice in the curry!!"
"Sigh... Just keep it down, Jaguarman..."
So this is what it means to be wild...
Boudica's Former Room
"Thanks, King. With this, I won't forget."
"Is that a memory of happiness? Or hatred for Rome? Which is it?"
"Maybe both. But I've embraced both and chosen 'this side.' So... I want to stay on 'this side' until the very end."
—Boudica...
"Ahaha, no gloomy faces! Since you're here, want something to eat? The galettes are delicious."
"I suppose I'll have one. Yes, this is what they call a fringe benefit!"
—Please, let her have a peaceful time...
Parvati's Manor
"Thank you. The girl inside me insisted..."
"Hmph. You seemed clumsy, yet you are a woman who never yields. I shall avoid further comment. Looking at your face makes the back of my head tingle with unease."
