After Alexander defeated Gilgamesh, Gilgamesh was completely stunned.
"Ha ha ha—looks like I was one step ahead after all, King of Heroes!"
Alexander slapped Gilgamesh twice on the back and said with a hearty laugh.
"But I did have a slight advantage. Back when I was home, I played this game with the kid before, so I'd had some practice in advance. The real contest should be saved for next time, after all!"
Alexander looked incredibly rough and uncouth, but his words were actually flawless, giving Gilgamesh—who had been left standing there in a daze—a way to save face.
"Hmph. Do you think this is the limit of what I can do?"
Gilgamesh's body trembled restlessly.
"I will never allow myself to fall behind anyone in any regard. You two mongrels—just wait!"
"I will definitely—crush you all!"
Humiliation filled his eyes.
They had made him lose so many times in a row; not even Annanu and Enkidu had managed that.
Those two mongrels—
"Ah, it's about time. Kirei, let's go."
Sakumura glanced at the watch on his wrist and patted Kirei Kotomine on the shoulder.
"Ah, you mean the movie theater?"
Kirei Kotomine remembered what Sakumura had mentioned while they were driving to the convention.
"Wait, mongrels—what are you talking about?!"
Seeing Sakumura about to leave just like that, Gilgamesh grew anxious and shouted to stop them.
"Ah, we're planning to go see a movie."
Sakumura honestly stated his and Kirei Kotomine's destination.
"Kamen Rider J recently came out. I'm pretty interested in this kind of tokusatsu film, though I find it a little baffling that they start talking about destroying Edo at the drop of a hat."
"Edo... Oh, you mean Tokyo, then." A momentary look of confusion crossed Kirei Kotomine's face before he showed an expression of realization.
