Fate: Path Hero# chapter 16: Siduri cries
🕑 Added 2025-02-05 05:57:21 +0000 UTCOn the way back, the three were still discussing the strangeness of the Euphrates River.
After much discussion and speculation, the three suspected that there were likely monsters or mages behind this.
Siduri also brought up the idea that Mother Earth might have been angry.
However, Ryū and Gilgamesh collectively rejected this view.
Why does Mother Earth get angry for no reason?
Moreover, even if Mother Earth was angry, she would not cause trouble to the animals.
So the two continued to talk to each other, ignoring Siduri wordlessly.
This made Siduri puff out her cheeks angrily.
Then Siduri lifted her morale again and discussed the matter with them again, until the three of them became a little immersed.
They walked all the way to the Uruk Gate.
Until the three realized a very important issue.
They were so immersed in talking that they forgot to disguise themselves.
So the soldiers surrounded them and took them to the palace.
...
"You three are so bold! How dare you leave the city without guards! Do you know how dangerous this is?!"
Lugal sat on the throne, angrily scolding the three people below.
The three people below looked at each other quietly, each of them holding a helpless look on their faces.
Lugal scolded the three people for a long time, and finally when his expression calmed down a little, the three people breathed a sigh of relief.
“Father, we found in the Euphrates River...”
At this time, Gilgamesh looked at his father and told him what the three had seen.
After hearing this, Lugar's face suddenly became very serious and he muttered softly: “I didn't expect it to become like this again.”
The three people did not hear this whisper, but they also saw Lugal's serious face.
Gilgamesh stepped forward and asked again what was happening.
But there was no answer from Lugal.
He just made a few evasive comments and then waved his hand to let the three people leave.
He also did not forget to warn the three people strongly before leaving.
After the three walked out of the hall, Siduri tears suddenly fell.
Ryū and Gilgamesh were confused and a bit stunned.
“Woo... I already told you... King Lugal will definitely punish us if he finds out... Look, look... We were all scolded... Wuuuuu... This is the first time King Lugal has scolded me!!”
Gilgamesh felt a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say. So Ryū had to step up and pat Siduri on the shoulder and console her
"Well, don't cry. Whatever happens, at least we're safe now, and King Lugal seems to have forgiven us. Don't blame yourself too much."
After Ryū consoled her, Siduri cried louder.
“You and my crown prince are fine now that the king has forgiven you, but my father will definitely scold me after that, Wuuuuu!”
Hearing this, Gilgamesh said, :"It's okay. I'll go find your father later and tell him that it was all my decision. I forced you to come with us, and you have nothing to do with it. That's all."
"Wow, wow, my dad won't let me go just because of this."
Siduri cried and sobbed again.
This made Gilgamesh feel a little helpless.
It was only after Ryū patted her on the shoulder and comforted her several times that Siduri's feelings gradually subsided.
Seeing this, Gilgamesh secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But in the next second, a guard came to deliver a message.
He said Siduri's father was looking for her.
Suddenly Siduri's face became depressed again.
But she had no choice but to follow the guard.
When she walked away, Gilgamesh breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Phew, it's really hard to deal with Siduri when she cries. Ryū, thanks to you, you're really good at comforting people!"
“It easier to console her if you said something instead of remaining silent. But you should think more carefully before taking any action next time. If you had reminded us to disguise ourselves when we came back this time, we wouldn’t have been scolded.”
Ryū rolled his eyes and said helplessly.
“Yes, you're right... huh? That's not true. You obviously didn't remember to disguise yourself and remind us either. Why are you talking like it's only my fault?”
“So tell me, who was the cause of this incident? Who said he wanted to see the Euphrates River?”
“I was the one who mentioned this, but...”
"What's the problem? As the initiator, you haven't made full preparations and considerations. Isn't this your responsibility? As the king, shouldn't you be brave enough to take responsibility?"
"Ah... well... okay then."
Although Gilgamesh sensed that something was wrong, he was convinced by Ryū's last words.
He is the future king!
It is natural that you have the courage to take responsibility!
Looking at Gilgamesh who was confused by his series of Fallacies and took the blame, Ryū couldn't help but smile, but then he thought of something so said, “By the way, if I want to learn something like magic, who should I go to?”
