Chaldea.
After Tiamat's arrival, the trio had fallen into complete panic, utterly clueless about how to deal with this unimaginably powerful Primordial Mother Goddess.
Fortunately, she remained quietly in her room.
Often standing by the window, gazing outside.
As if she could never get enough of the view.
Romani Archaman breathed a slight sigh of relief.
He was terrified she might completely expose his true identity—that would mean instant doom.
Before this terrifying Beast of Humanity, no secrets could remain hidden.
Just then, the phone rang.
Romani saw the caller ID showing [Uruk] and quickly answered: "Hello, this is Romani Archaman from Chaldea."
"It is I."
Gilgamesh's voice came from the other end.
Why was the King of Heroes calling suddenly?
Romani grew even more nervous: "May I ask... what business does Chaldea have with you?"
"To be precise, I seek not Chaldea, but that one." came the calm reply.
"Ah, you wish to visit the Primordial Mother Goddess? Of course."
Romani immediately understood the purpose of the call.
Also hailing from Mesopotamia, it was only natural to pay a visit to the Primordial Mother Goddess who created them.
As long as they weren't looking for him!
"Besides myself, several others will also be accompanying us," the other party continued to reply.
After he finished speaking.
Other voices could be heard through the phone—
"Your Majesty, the car is ready!"
The call had ended.
Dr. Roman was slightly puzzled.
Besides bringing his own high priestess Siduri, had the King of Heroes also managed to find those twin goddess sisters?
After a while.
A black stretch limousine drove through the gates of Chaldea's headquarters.
Dr. Roman saw the King of Heroes and Siduri step out of the car, along with a familiar high school student—Tohsaka Rin.
Speaking of which, why had this high schooler come along? Could it be that her past lives were truly Ishtar and Ereshkigal?
Mash approached and said, "Everyone, the Primordial Mother Goddess has agreed to meet with you. Please follow me."
The status of that Mother Goddess was far too transcendent.
Even Mash didn't dare get too close, maintaining a certain distance the entire time.
Under her guidance.
The group arrived at the reception hall.
There sat the Primordial Mother Goddess, quietly watching them with gentle eyes in her gaze.
Before her, even someone as proud as the King of Heroes appeared remarkably approachable.
Gilgamesh stepped forward: "Primordial Mother Goddess, welcome as a Heroic Spirit to join us in protecting humanity. This is a small gift I've prepared for you."
Hum~
A golden ripple appeared beside Gilgamesh as he reached in and retrieved an exquisitely packaged golden gift box.
He presented the gift box as a token of greeting for this occasion.
As the King of Heroes whose wealth rivaled nations—possessing the key to the Gate of Babylon [King's Treasure]—the gift he offered instantly captured everyone's attention.
However.
Opening the gift box, they found it contained neither gold nor jewels, nor any rare treasures or divine artifacts.
Instead, it was filled with various rice balls and small pastries.
Beside them, Rin Tohsaka looked on in astonishment, completely taken aback by such a gift.
Meanwhile, Ereshkigal, who shared her senses, instantly realized: "This must be something Nameless made himself!"
"Oh, right! That guy is deeply favored by the Mother Goddess—handmade gifts are far more fitting than any treasure!" Ishtar couldn't help but pout.
Damn it, he got to show off again.
Why hadn't they thought of such a gift?
Gilgamesh watched as the Primordial Mother Goddess's gaze softened further, silently giving himself a big thumbs-up.
Perfect—he'd chosen the right gift!
Before paying his visit, he had been racking his brain over what to bring.
For the Mother Goddess who had created all things, even the most precious treasures or divine artifacts were utterly meaningless.
After using his Clairvoyance and the [Sha Naqba Imuru], he finally understood what to offer.
He had Souma dragged to a hotel overnight and forced him to prepare an array of delicacies.
That guy was the real deal—a [Grand Chef], whose culinary skills could even conquer the Evils of Humanity!
Flawless!
After delivering the gift, Gilgamesh stepped out of the reception hall.
In high spirits, he turned to the doctor beside him and asked, "So, are you prepared?"
"Prepared for what?" Romani Archaman blinked in confusion.
"A new video is about to be released, and the whole truth will be laid bare."
Gilgamesh's smile widened.
What could be more delightful than watching someone else's darkest secrets exposed?
Especially when the target was none other than this [Grand Caster], standing on equal footing with him!
"I—I'm just an ordinary doctor. I don't know what you're talking about." Romani averted his gaze.
It was clear.
There was no hiding anything from this candidate for [Grand Caster], who possessed Clairvoyance.
"Ordinary? You remind me of my old friend."
Gilgamesh chuckled. "Once the video is out, why not watch it together with me?"
"Uh…"
Romani fully grasped it now—this sadistic bastard had no intention of letting him off, dead set on exposing his darkest moments.
He meekly asked, "Can I refuse?"
"When the time comes, I'll invite Qin Shi Huang to join us. Let's all witness the glorious deeds of a certain [Grand Caster]!" Gilgamesh grinned.
Watching drama wasn't just Merlin's hobby—it was practically human nature.
Why stop at one? Let's gather a crowd and publicly shame him!
"..."
Romani wished he could dig a hole and bury himself alive.
These guys really weren't going to let him go!
Once that video was out, all his past deeds, all his sins—everything would be laid bare for the world to see.
And then, everyone would despise and loathe him!
What should he do?
What could he possibly do now?
Panic instantly seized Romani.
He had wanted to quietly atone, but now [Alaya] was about to put him on public trial.
Everything was over!
At that moment, another visitor arrived at Chaldea—the Knight of the Lake, Lancelot.
He had come on behalf of France to pay respects to the Primordial Mother Goddess and to see his daughter.
Hearing this, Mash immediately rushed over.
She had been utterly terrified by what had happened earlier.
This bastard of a father actually dared to wear that eyesore of an outfit and beg for her forgiveness.
A burly man wearing an unbearably cute catgirl outfit, pretending to be some kind of "dangerous beast" for the sake of kink.
It was truly an assault on the eyes!
Just a few minutes of that required a lifetime to recover from!
Fortunately, this time he was dressed in an ordinary suit.
His strong, burly frame stretched the suit taut, exuding a sense of power.
At least this let Mash heave a sigh of relief.
Anything was better than that eyesore getup.
Lancelot strode up to the Primordial Mother Goddess and said, "Greetings, Your Excellency the Primordial Mother Goddess. My visit today, aside from representing France in paying respects, also concerns a personal matter."
???
Mash's heart instantly leapt into her throat, nearly blurting out to stop him.
What fresh madness was this cheap father of hers planning now?
Tiamat's gentle voice rang out: "What personal matter?"
Of course, this was in human language, not the ancient tongue of the primordial gods.
Lancelot spoke with utmost solemnity: "You regard Nameless as your most beloved child, and I am Mash's father. I wish to formally request your blessing for my daughter's marriage to Nameless!"
