Subaru Natsuki: "We're both people who got transported to another world, so why is there such a huge gap between us?"
Ainz Ooal Gown: "Judging solely from this battle's performance, Elysia's strength would place her at the level of a Guardian in Nazarick."
L: "Precise judgment and execution. We all underestimated her because of her appearance."
Rikka Takanashi: "S-such powerful strength... but it is nothing! The Tyrant's Eye is the strongest!"
Madara Uchiha: "Tyrant's Eye? Is that a dōjutsu like the Sharingan?"
Conan Edogawa: "Those reflexes are completely unscientific. Okay, I just said something pointless again."
Otto Apocalypse: "Although it's just a guess, the way she applies this power can't help but remind me of Honkai Energy."
On the Schicksal islands, Overseer Otto, who had been slacking off in his office, stared silently at the screen before him. He was becoming more and more convinced that Elysia was a person from their world.
This wasn't some baseless guess. It was the way she used her abilities, as well as the appearance of the figure named Kevin in the comments section.
Even with Otto's vast knowledge, he had never heard the name Elysia. But he certainly knew Kevin. As the first and strongest MANTIS of the Previous Era, Kevin could, in a sense, be considered one of the founders of Schicksal.
He held far too many titles. Since he was so familiar with this girl named Elysia, could it be that she was also a person from their world? To be more specific, was Elysia... a person from Kevin's era?
To make a life that had vanished for tens of thousands of years reappear—such a feat was almost unimaginable. However... there was too little information at present to prove anything. He needed more...

[On the light screen, after the replay from Gilgamesh's perspective concluded, Gilgamesh spoke in a grim tone, "How dare you touch my treasures with your own hands! Are you in such a hurry to die?"
As he spoke, the dozens of Noble Phantasms he had just launched rematerialized behind him. Not only that, but even more treasures appeared alongside them, and the rank of the Noble Phantasms had also increased.
In all of history, there was only one opponent worthy of making Gilgamesh use his Treasury of the King so lavishly. Apart from that beautiful green person, no one had ever been able to make him unleash its full power.
Faced with this even greater display of might, Elysia remained as she was before, without a trace of nervousness or worry.
Instead, she spoke with a look of complete bewilderment. "Hey, who was the one trying to kill me from the very start? You're allowed to bully a cute girl, but I'm not allowed to fight back? What kind of bully are you?"
It's over... Elysia really doesn't value her life. She dared to provoke this unreasonable king once again. This time, Gilgamesh would surely settle things for good.
At that moment, in the Tohsaka residence, Tokiomi Tohsaka was observing the battle situation through his familiar and came to this conclusion.
He had already made his decision. Before Gilgamesh could unleash his full power, he would absolutely use a Command Spell to recall him. Although this would incur the king's dissatisfaction, or even his wrath, it was better than having his own mana completely drained.
"Hehehe... HAHAHAHAHA~~" No one expected that Gilgamesh, who was still in a state of fury just moments ago, would suddenly burst out laughing. He even retracted the Noble Phantasms behind him, looking as happy as a child.
This time, Gilgamesh did not speak while looking down on her. Instead, he fixed his gaze directly on Elysia. Although he was still standing on the lamppost, for this king to look someone in the eye while speaking was already a monumental concession.
His tone reverted to the nonchalant attitude he had when he first appeared. "Interesting. I had thought that, given your status as a Phantasmal Species, you were just another boring mongrel. Now it seems you are quite a bit stronger than certain rats who only know how to hide in the shadows. Very well, I acknowledge you. State your name, and be honored by it! You are worthy of having your name remembered by me."
The moment these words were spoken, everyone both inside and outside the light screen revealed looks of astonishment. No one had anticipated that Gilgamesh, who had been so arrogant and condescending before, would suddenly control his anger and show a side that, while still arrogant, was not quite so detestable.
At the same time, the information revealed in his words sent many people's minds racing, their imaginations running wild.
It wasn't just King Arthur; even the King of Heroes believed Elysia was not human, but a Phantasmal Species?
Before anyone could ponder this further, Elysia began to 'court death' once more.
She frowned deeply. Although Gilgamesh's attitude was much better than when he had first appeared, she really still disliked this kind of person.
Elysia placed her hands on her hips again and said, "I refuse. When you ask for someone's name, especially a pretty girl's, you can't do it with that kind of attitude."
"Oh?" Gilgamesh hadn't expected her to remain so defiant even after he had lowered himself.
However, the king generally had great patience for things he acknowledged. "So be it if you are unwilling to speak. In this world, whether it is the end of time or the edge of space, all of it is my garden. Everything within is mine, so... sooner or later, you too will be my property."
Gilgamesh's tone was calm, as if what he had just said was the most natural thing in the world.
And that one sentence caused the comment section to explode completely.]
---o---
Pardofelis (Elysian Realm): "Hey, hey, did I hear that right? That golden guy said Sister Elysia is his property?"
Eden (Elysian Realm): "You heard correctly, Pardo. It seems... I may have to make a trip myself~"
Aponia (Elysian Realm): "Please... help this child return to the Throne of Heroes."
Kosma (Elysian Realm): "..."
Elysia (Elysian Realm): "Wow! Everyone cares about me so much!"
Kalpas (Elysian Realm): "Boring."
King of Heroes: "Hm? Why have so many names I've never seen before suddenly appeared?"
Conan Edogawa: "E-Elysia? How can she be in the comment section?"
Elysia (Elysian Realm): "Because... it's a fey's magic~"
With Elysia's appearance in the comments, the entire section became lively again, and for a moment, no one paid any mind to the Golden Servant's outrageous declaration. However, a certain white-haired, noodle-slurping young man certainly committed the name 'Gilgamesh' to memory.
The others in the Elysian Realm might not get the chance, but if he ever did, he would definitely let that golden Servant feel the warmth of the Heavenly Fire Greatsword...

Author's note:
ps: From now on, when the Flame-Chasers appear in the comments, I won't add (Elysian Realm) after their names. Everyone should know they are the Flame-Chasers from the Elysian Realm (except for Kevin).
