When Ryū invited the girl into the room, he also knew the girl's name.
Siduri
Her father is currently a priest of Uruk.
Siduri is the next generation of priestesses.
Siduri is a very beautiful girl.
Although she was still young, but the beauty and vitality she showed at this moment was more outstanding than many teenage girls Ryū had ever seen.
Looking at her, he could already imagine how elegant and beautiful the other person would be when he grew up.
"So, what are you curious about me?"
Ryū sat on a chair and Siduri sat across from him.
The girl's face unintentionally reddened again in response to Ryū's words.
After all, it was really difficult for the girl to forget the embarrassment now.
"Well... I, I just want to see if the foreigners look like us."
Siduri's words made Ryū laugh.
"Now that you've seen it, do you feel there's a difference?"
Ryū extended his hands and said to Siduri.
This made the girl blush even more.
Ryū did not continue to pester the other party, but rather took the initiative to ask:
"You said that you would be a priest in the future. What are the duties of a priest?"
Because she was talking about an area she was familiar with, Siduri's confidence returned. She raised her head and said proudly:
"Priests are people who can communicate with gods! In the future, I will communicate with the gods in heaven. By then, I will be the most noble person except the king!"
"Oh, that's really amazing."
"Yes, that's right! I will be so great in the future. You should bow to me when you see me in the future!"
"Hahaha, then I hope the future priest won't blush suddenly again."
"Ugh! You!"
Siduri was a little angry.
She has a simple personality and is just a child.
So there was certainly no way she could compete with Ryū in terms of words.
But it was also thanks to Ryū's joke.
This also invisibly removed some of the alienation and awkwardness between them.
Then the two talked about some other things.
Siduri heard stories about foreign countries from Ryū. Although most of these stories were made up by Ryū, they were enough to make Siduri feel surprised and interested.
Ryū also obtained information about priests and gods from Siduri while chatting.
As the next generation of priests, Siduri knows a lot about the gods.
But she is different from Gilgamesh because her attitude is more pious
Given Gilgamesh's personality and fate, it was only a matter of time before he became disgusted with the gods and revolted.
So it is good to know more about the gods in advance
From Siduri, Ryū also learned the names of several gods :
Anu, father of the gods.
Mother Earth - Oya.
Ishtar, goddess of the harvest.
Ereshkigal, goddess of the underworld.
Siduri described these gods as extremely great, but Ryū did not think they were of great importance.
Because if they were so great and had good personality, Gilgamesh would not have revolted, no matter how arrogant he was
But Ryū couldn't say those words at this time.
After all, the girl in front of him is a priestess. As the next generation, if she hears Ryū's thoughts or words.
I'm afraid, she quarrel with Ryū.
At this moment, Gilgamesh appeared at the door of the room.
"Ryū..."
"Hah? Siduri, why are you here?"
When Siduri saw Gilgamesh, her first reaction was to stand up from her chair, then bow respectfully and say to him:
"Your Highness."
Gilgamesh waved his hands helplessly and said:
"We grew up together, so this kind of etiquette can be tolerated."
"How can this be possible? You will be the king of Uruk in the future, and I, as a priest, am here to help you. If I cannot even follow etiquette, where is the dignity of a king?"
Ryū was surprised by what came out of Siduri's mouth.
This was not something Siduri who had just spoken to him would say and she was blushing with every sentence.
Then Gilgamesh said:
"That's something your father would say."
"Yes, that's what my father told me. As the future priest, I must do it."
After hearing this, Ryū understood.
It turns out that it was Siduri's father who said that. No wonder the contrast was so strong when Siduri said that.
Gilgamesh then ignored Siduri for a moment and looked at Ryū and said:
"Ryū, the doctors are here, do you want to go now?"
"Okay, let's go there now."
After saying this, Ryū stood up from his chair.
When he and Gilgamesh walked out of the room together, Siduri quietly followed them out of curiosity.
