I'd give it about a fifty-fifty chance that Gorgon will be lured by our diversion. But the Demonic Beasts will definitely come out of the Cedar Forest.
Well, in any case, we won't know till we get there. I expect to encounter wandering Demonic Beasts along the way... But those that have strayed from their pack are no threat to Fujimaru anymore. Let's try to gain the ranchers' gratitude by quickly disposing of them as we move along!
The real question here–which none of you have bothered to ask–is how we'll get the Axe of Marduk to the temple. Aaand the answer is: I'll take care of it!
I see. That's a unique name. Sure don't hear it around here. And the lady, then?
I was... a being that only loved beautiful conclusions. I may have a human appearance, but my true self is cold-blooded like an insect. I am a non-human incapable of even feeling proper emotion. And yet, I have fallen in love with a single, beautiful heart.
Yes, indeed. A powerful ace that I've kept up my sleeve. But who summoned him? It wasn't King Gilgamesh. Nor the Mage King's Holy Grail. ...I shouldn't even have to say. It was you, Fujimaru, of course.
If there's a time to for you to throw away everything, it's going to be only in a single instant. Watch for that instant as you fight.
The Fairy Kingdom and your world are both nothing more than layers. Textures. Each of them are outward appearances attached to the Earth's surface.
ARTORIA: Even after I told you time and time again to refrain from getting into too much trouble with the ladies. That's the one thing you can never fix no matter how many years have passed. MERLIN: It's my reason for living after all. What is life without flowers?
Oh, both of you are back already. Oh boy, that went nowhere.
Of course. It's an important role of the king to relate his epic tales. Whenever he comes back from the underworld, the priests won't let him go. They record his stories for three days and three nights.

...I screwed this up. Instead of trying to create some breathing room, I ended up hurrying things along.
You are correct, the fairies have indeed fled to the Reverse Side of the World. However, an opening still exists for them to enter and exit, though that will close in time as well.
Hey, I was looking for you, Artoria~! I brought you the application form for your coronation ceremony.
No doubt about it. That's the Tablet of Destinies. Great! Well, that was easy!
Listen up, this island is special. The continent has already become a part of the human world. As the countries are joined by land, the change in physical laws is swift. But this island is different. Even now, the atmosphere of the Age of Gods, its arcana, remains.
There's the goddess controlling all Demonic Beasts up north, the goddess residing in jungles in the south, then there's the soaring goddess who has no fixed residence. The biggest threat is the goddess in the north, but the soaring goddess is another problem altogether.
All right. I'll be going, then. One of my favorite girls is waiting for me.
King Gilgamesh sees value in what humans create. "Humans themselves are foolish, but the things humans create have meaning..." That's probably a belief that lies at his core.
So what's the plan to liberate the city of Nippur? What does Fujimaru have to do?
Well, I delightedly went along with his plan, so you could also say the same for me. But at the time it seemed like a good choice, and it was in fact the best move we could've made. We created the ideal king, and if you ask me, I think we did a good job.
