Needless to say, Gilgamesh jumps to exactly the same conclusion that his current ... partner (ugh, King of Heroes does not take on companions, but whatever!) ... has done: namely that his would-be "business partner," whom he of course does not recognize in this form, is another demon girl come to mount some subterfuge effort.
On the other hand, Gilgamesh's ego is naturally such that the praises throw him somewhat. He could scarcely believe that any mongrel would cheer him on unless it is entirely sincere, being as that is what his majesty inspires. Thus he is presently torn between suspicion and supposing that this newcomer might be some chaos agent who has decided to switch sides. Or is she something else altogether? Magisteria is always full of surprises. If there is one thing Gilgamesh and the rest of the Otherworlders (no doubt) have learned, it is this.
"Hmph... of course, that is the case..." Gilgamesh agrees, readily. Praising him will get you everywhere, you know. "Yet who are you? Can it be that I have begun to form a legend in the gamer circuit, already?"
Despite, well -- he simply does not even look at the girl with the cat-ear headphones. Okay, Gilgamesh is not one to question those who sing his kingly praises, but what is going on here? Here he has been thinking how he and Rhea'li could enhance their training to fast-track them into gaming success, perhaps using some Magisterian time manipulation technology (if such existed) so that they could speed time 2-3x times during their arcade grinding. Certainly this is a reasonable method of training for such a challenge.
