“Why can’t Mother love us the way she loves humanity?! We’re Mother’s children too!”

Faced with the Lahmu’s accusations, Tiamat had no answer. All she could do was apologize.

“I’m sorry. Truly, I’m so sorry...

“Mother doesn’t want to lose any more of her children. So...

“Please stop hating humanity. If you must hate someone, hate Mother alone. It’s all Mother’s fault.”

“...”

The Lahmu understood the cruel truth.

No matter how hard he tried, Mother would never take his side.

For Mother loved humanity more than herself, and more than her other children.

“...”

The Lahmu let out a sob like a baby’s.

Tiamat plunged her fingers into the black mass of flesh, ending his life.

And so, peace returned to the plains of Mesopotamia.

The anomaly in the Seventh Singularity had been completely resolved, and this world’s Human Order had safely returned to its proper course.

With everything settled, the next thing to do was celebrate.

After months of wartime tension, the people of Uruk certainly needed a proper celebration and a chance to unwind.

“Leave the cooking to me!”

“Lord Shirou, please take some time to rest. Leave things here to us women.”

Siduri stopped Shirou at the door.

Inside the kitchen, Ishtar, Tiamat, Haruri, Tine, and the girls from the priestesses’ quarters were preparing ingredients for the banquet.

Shirou wanted to join that cheerful gathering, which looked rather like a cooking class, and enjoy exchanging cooking tips with everyone.

“Is there really no way you’ll let me in?”

“No.”

Siduri’s answer was firm.

Though she hadn’t said anything about it, Shirou suspected she was still angry with him.

And that was understandable.
