[Ereshkigal made a decision]
[She decided to entertain you as the mistress of the underworld]
[Despite this, the underworld itself is very desolate]
[The way she can entertain you is to let you visit her daily work process. Although it may be meaningless to ordinary people, it is very meaningful to her]
[At the same time, this is also what she chose to let you witness with your own eyes]
[——Whether the goddess of the underworld, Ereshkigal, is qualified as a god and worthy of the word "gentle"]
[You moved from the empty palace]
"Where is this… where?"
"It's so dark… it's so dark here…"
"It's so cold… there's nothing…"
In a cold and silent valley.
The soul's timbre that neither humans nor gods could understand was echoing, and the soul's remaining warmth was about to dissipate in the cold.
Of course, things would not develop like this.
"Ah, found it, found it. Are you okay? Can you cheer up a little? Hmm… this kind of situation happens occasionally. The soul didn't fall into the square, but fell into the wilderness."
"Oh? I see, even in the underworld, there are souls that slip through the net."
Two different voices came.
The weak soul, like a candle in the wind, saw two figures.
The former's beautiful figure was as bright and prominent as the moon, and the latter's heroic figure was as dazzling and thick as the sun.
That's right, it was Ereshkigal and Moran.
They made a special trip to this deep valley.
"That's right, I'm glad I specially brought you, Moran, for a tour, otherwise there would be another soul that would dissipate because it got lost.
In a way, this is also your credit."
Ereshkigal said thankfully.
Moran smiled faintly.
Then, Ereshkigal turned her gaze back to the soul and changed back to the majestic appearance of the Queen of the Underworld.
"Hehe, accept your fate? Since you have fallen into this underworld, you are my property. Since I, the great mistress of the underworld, Ereshkigal, have come, then you have no freedom…"
When Ereshkigal wanted to perform well in front of Moran.
She keenly noticed that something was wrong.
The flame of the soul was weakening.
It seemed that a breath could extinguish it, and it was so fragile that it would not be surprising if it disappeared in an instant.
"Uh, awawa, it's about to disappear——! Wait, wait, wait for me! I just said too much, I just wanted to scare you! Don't give up so easily!"
[Ereshkigal is still the same as always]
[You don't know if it's because she has the same origin as a certain goddess, she also has the characteristic of dropping the ball at critical moments]
[Not long after showing the queen's majesty]
[She performed a second of failure again]
[Looking at the fragile soul that was about to disappear, she was in a panic]
[That's right, her queen's majesty is still pretended]
[At the critical moment, you took the initiative to take the soul into your hands, successfully returning the soul to a stable state]
[Ereshkigal was very surprised by this]
[She didn't know that you had the ability to help souls, but it's a good thing to be able to stabilize the soul's existence]
"Phew… it's finally stabilized. The color of the soul is also very stable… it sounds like a human child? Moran, thank you, thank you for your help… I was too flustered just now…"
"It's okay, it's just a small effort."
Moran nodded and didn't care too much.
Looking at Ereshkigal's embarrassed appearance.
He also remembered the Tohsaka sisters.
These two also sometimes drop the ball at critical moments.
So, he is used to making second-hand preparations.
"Cause of death… strangulation? According to the query of the deceased's records… I see. It was caused by the violence of relatives."
[Ereshkigal has the authority of the Queen of the Underworld]
[It's normal to know the cause of death of the deceased]
[She has seen many children who have been persecuted to death like this in the past thousands of years. I can only sigh]
[Although the current Mesopotamia is unified]
[But, it doesn't mean it's very peaceful]
[Fighting and killing are an indispensable part of the Sumerians, coupled with the cruelty of the age of gods, human sins cannot be cut off anywhere]
[As long as there are still humans in this world]
[This is unchangeable]
"…Alas… I have no idea what you are talking about… but since you have come here, rest assured. I will guarantee your food, clothing, and shelter.
Although I can't heal your wounds——but no matter how cold the soul is, as long as it is in this gun cage, it will not disappear."
Ereshkigal showed a confident smile.
It's like giving comfort to the soul.
At this moment, in Moran's eyes, she was like a blooming light, conveying warmth and heat far surpassing everything.
Although, you have seen similar things several times through the ley line.
But he couldn't help but be moved by it.
"You can maintain yourself until you are satisfied, and when you have no regrets, you can also return to the abyss.
If you have painful experiences on the surface, you should at least enjoy a peaceful day here——I am the goddess of the underworld, Ereshkigal. I am the commander of the Garula spirits who bury the dead.
I swear by this name that I will guarantee that you will have eternal peace."
Ereshkigal's expression was solemn and steady.
This is the queen with compassion.
Although the underworld does not have gorgeous scenery, only this unique and beautiful flower blooms quietly here.
At this moment, she is not inferior to any beauty in the world.
"Although it's very cold here. However, I still hope that your dream is meaningful."
Ereshkigal held the soul in her hands.
The tone also became gentle.
Then, she sent the soul into the gun cage.
Until the end, the constantly dancing soul seemed to be expressing something, but Ereshkigal didn't understand it at all.
As the great Queen of the Underworld, she cannot understand the words of the soul.
It is indeed ridiculous to say it.
However, she has spent thousands of years like this.
"Ereshkigal, he is saying, it's a little warmer."
"Hey! Can you understand what it's saying?!"
"Don't underestimate me. I'm a necromancer; listening to the words of souls is my bread and butter."
"Ugh… I'm the Queen of the Underworld, you know…!"
Ereshkigal was very frustrated.
As the Queen of the Underworld, she was far inferior to a human like Moran in communicating with the dead.
It was such a failure…
