Chapter 100
They were, respectively, Gilgamesh, Enkidu, Valerie, Asia, Arturia and Mordred.
The entire group of Gilgamesh was here for the Familiar Forest, except for Sebas who had said he had no interest in it.
What drew the most attention was a lion cub that was in Arturia's lap.
This Lion cub was one of the thirteen Sacred Gear listed with Longinus, the Lion King's Battle Ax[Regulus Nemea].
This Longinus, [Regulus Nemea] is an independent avatar-type Sacred Gear that can move independently of its wearer with its own free will.
Regulus usually takes the form of a huge four meter lion, however he can also change his height freely and can also take the form of a lion cub.
He usually doesn't take this form due to hurting his pride as a Lion King, however he came to like it this way due to two factors.
Firstly Leo is Arturia's favorite animal and secondly she is always petting him when he is in this form.
So since then Regulus spends most of his time with Arturia, Gilgamesh doesn't care much as he can always summon Regulus to him and can also communicate with him telepathically.
"Gilgamesh-san I see you brought friends," Rias said nervously Gilgamesh.
It took a while for everyone to introduce themselves and Issei was leering at the girls causing Mordred to glare at his and make him recoil in fear.
"Who wants me!" Without warning, a man wearing rough, tattered clothing appeared from a tree.
"Hey who's there!?" Issei yelled.
"Hello young people! My name is Satooji from Madara City! I am a demon in training! My goal is to become the home teacher!" The man named Satooji said.
Gilgamesh's eyes twitched in annoyance.
"Is this the guy? He looks like a homeless tramp" Issei said before being slapped by Rias.
"If your goal is to find a lot of family then you came at the right time for sure, the full moon is ready to help you decide and I will be your guide." Satooji rhymed as Gilgamesh's hand twitched in annoyance.
"As you can see, Satooji is obsessed with making things rhyme." Akeno chuckled, finding great amusement in seeing how annoyed Gilgamesh was.
Rias walked to the home teacher.
"Satooji-san I brought the ones I told you about" Rias basically introduced Gilgamesh's group and its pawn as well.
"Yo." Gilgamesh said lazily.
"Hello." Issei spoke in his normal tone of voice
"Hahahahahaha! I like you young people! Gremory-san taught you all well." Satooji praised them.
"So what kind of familiar do you want? The strong ones? The fastest ones? Cute? Or maybe even the poisonous ones?"
"Who is the strongest familiar in this forest?" Gilgamesh asked as Satooji rubbed his chin before answering.
"That would be the Dragon of Chaos and Karma, one of the Five Dragon Kings Tiamat"
"This is what I want then." Gilgamesh replied in an indifferent tone.
Everyone but Gilgamesh and his group looked at him as if he were crazy.
"You...Jov..Young?! Do you have a wish to die?! I can take you to her, but I can't promise you that you'll live?!" The home teacher spoke in a confused tone of voice. Gilgamesh smiled.
"By all means, lead the way" Needless to say, it scared everyone but Gilgamesh's group.
Gilgamesh turned to his friends and said:
"Guys I'm going to see Tiamat, you can see whatever family you want just be careful" said Gilgamesh to his group who nodded and wished them good luck.
Gilgamesh proceeded to follow Satooji towards Tiamat's home.
[Ah... Partner, we need to talk.]
"Oh, so now will you talk to me Ddraig? What is so important that you have to talk to me right now?" Gilgamesh asked, somewhat curious as to why Ddraig looked so nervous.
[It's about partner Tiamat... I don't think it's a good idea for you to make her your familiar.] Ddraig responded as Gilgamesh decided to push a little harder.
"Because you're in love with her" Gilgamesh replied in a smart-ass tone that earned a growl from the Celestial Dragon.
[No, I don't like her Gilgamesh! It's just that she hates me, and I can't remember why she hates me?] Ddraig responded when Gilgamesh almost fell.
Of course Gilgamesh knew why Tiamat hated Ddraig.
She hates Ddraig for borrowing his treasure, which was destroyed in several pieces and scattered all over the world, so she hates Ddraig and all of her possessors.
"Never mind, I'll find out one way or another, and most likely I'll have to fix the problem you caused" Gilgamesh replied while he could hear Ddraig grumbling in response.
Satooji stopped about thirty meters from a large cave that appeared to be quite deep and dark.
"This is the place, young man. You'll find Tiamat there, although in my opinion you really should stay away from her, especially as the Red Dragon Emperor" The home master replied as Gilgamesh stared at him for a second.
"So, I assume, I'm not the first Red Dragon Emperor you've ever met?" Gilgamesh replied with a raised eyebrow. Satooji nodded as he shivered as he rubbed his arm in an uncomfortable way.
"You could say it was almost two hundred years ago when I almost got killed by one of the previous [Boosted Gear] handlers," he said before walking away ready for the rest of the group.
Gilgamesh raised his right hand towards him and into his hand came a wave of golden energy that shot into the cave.
It took a few seconds before a deafening roar filled the area. The roar sounded like a mixture of pain and rage, the cave itself beginning to shake as a huge, pale blue western dragon with azure scales erupted from the now demolished cave.
"Who dares to disturb my sleep!" The dragon roared in its very feminine voice.
"Tiamat I have come to bargain," said Gilgamesh smiling.
"Who are you?" asked Tiamat as he narrowed his eyes.
"I am Gilgamesh the descendant of the King of Heroes" said Gilgamesh to Tiamat who widened her eyes.
"A descendant of the King of Heroes?!" Tiamat speaks surprised by this fact: "Wait a minute, this aura"
The dragons' dark blue eyes widened before narrowing dangerously as a thick, powerful dark blue aura began to ooze out of their body.
"So, you've finally come back after all this time! You're going to give me back what you stole from me, Ddraig! And if you run away, I'll incinerate you and your host!" Tiamat roared in rage.
[About that Tiamat, I don't remember what I did to you?] It was Ddraig's simple answer, as Gilgamesh resisted the urge to face the palm of his hand.
"Don't you remember? You really don't remember! How dare you!" Tiamat roared, growing angrier by the second. Gilgamesh decided to inject his own two cents into the conversation.
"Tiamat, what has Ddraig done to you in the past?" Gilgamesh asked.
After all, knowing from the anime is one thing, but seeing and hearing it in person is another thing.
Tiamat growled, obviously not in a good mood, but she seemed to take a deep breath before calming down a bit.
"Since you are Ddraig's current host, you are responsible for recovering my treasure he stole from me long ago" She replied when Gilgamesh got a serious look on her face.
In the next instant Gilgamesh smiled.
