After discovering land, Enola, along with Unit 06, continued their aerial exploration, until they came to found a small fort in the middle of a forest not far from the coast.

As there was no sign of civilization beyond the fort, Enola decided to go down and investigate with her squadron. The air force squad stayed camouflaged, ready to provide cover, and the reconnaissance aircraft continued its intelligence-gathering mission but did not move much away from the air force aircraft.

The aircraft carrying the soldiers positioned themselves ten meters above the ground, then they opened their hatches, and the soldiers, who were wearing full armor along with rifles in their hands, jumped out and fell silently to the ground as if they were weightless.

The soldiers quickly approached the fort, and being only twenty meters away from it, the soldiers stopped.

[Eagle Queen, we have confirmation of movement up ahead, what are your orders? Over.]

[This is Eagle Queen, I can see the movement. You have permission to Infiltrate the fort and capture it. Eliminate any threats silently. Over]

[Roger that.]

Enola was five hundred meters away from the fort with her beloved sniper rifle in hand. She was lying on top of her aircraft, which was completely static in the air. She was just watching the situation with her rifle, but if any dangerous variables pop up, she will act.

It was already night, and only the lit torches of the fort illuminated it.

The Elite soldiers, made up of Automatons, Beastman, Humans, and several other races, positioned themselves silently under the four walls of the fort.

After everyone had positioned themselves, one of the soldiers, probably the squad leader, ordered, [Activate Greater Camouflage and Greater Silence].

In the next instant, the soldiers' bodies glowed green, then blue, and then they all disappeared.

[Elite 06, going dark.] The squad leader informed using [Transmission].

Inside the fort, human guards carried spears and bows and wore a simple set of armor, likely made of iron.

On the eastern wall, two guards were making their rounds as they talked.

''Oh man, I can't wait to be relocated somewhere else. There is absolutely nothing around this fort but grass and wild animals.'' One of the two guards says with a sigh.

''There is! If you were placed here, it means you did something stupid! So what did you do?'' The other guard said with a huff.

''Urgh! I....may or may not have said bullshit about the Four Great Gods in front of a priest while I was drunk....''

The guard's companion looks at him with wide eyes, ''Are you crazy?! You're lucky to have been sent here! In the worst case, you would have been executed on the spot!''

''H-Hey! I was drunk, okay? And it's not like they're going to kill someone just for having a slightly different opinion than theirs...I think.''

The soldiers continued talking telling each other the story of their lives, and in just a few minutes, the two soon became friends.

As they talked, being bathed in moonlight, one of them shivered and looked around, startled.

''Hmm? What's it?''

''I... I don't know, I felt like someone was watching us.''

''Haha! It must be the Four Great Gods mad at you!''

The guard sighed at his companion's banter, but before he could respond, he felt a sharp pain in his throat, and at the same time, he saw a red river of blood coming out of his friend's throat.

He wanted to scream, but something clamped down on his mouth, preventing him from making any sound.

The guard watched his friend fall lifeless to the ground, and in the next second, he too fell lifeless.

The two Elite soldiers, still invisible, quickly dispose of the dead bodies.

[East wall, clear.]

[West Wall, clear.]

[South Wall, clear.]

[North wall, clear.]

There weren't many guards under the walls, maybe because there was nothing that could attack them, or maybe because of neglect, but because of that, they easily managed to infiltrate all four sides of the small fortress.

[Roger that. Proceeding to the use of mechanical units.]

From the back of the soldier's armor, a compartment opened, and from within the compartment, a robot spider emerged.

The spider has a deep black color and is forty centimeters wide and twenty long, at the end of its eight legs there were greenish blades and its eyes glowed red like a bloodthirsty beast.

The spiders quickly jump from the wall into the fort and hide in the shadows.

[Operation begins.]

----------

Meanwhile, on Alpha Prime, more specifically in the entertainment district, Suzuki was sitting at a restaurant table without her usual black armor with wings, she was wearing a white one-piece dress with simple, comfortable shoes.

She was calmly looking out the window from where she was sitting, enjoying the view of her citadel as she waited for her order.

''W-What are we going to do nya?! Eve-sama came out of nowhere asking for a Chocolate Sundae! Is this some kind of secret code?! Or maybe she is testing us to see if we can understand what she wants nya!''A girl with feline features dressed as a maid whispered in disbelief to her friend in a corner of the establishment.

''Maybe.....she just wants a Chocolate Sundae?''The other maid girl, who had dog features, answered her friend as she looked at her strangely.

''No, Korone! It can't be this simple nya! I'm sure Eve-sama's intentions are as profound as her knowledge and power nya!'' The cat girl responded as she breathed heavily and stared at Suzuki with reverent eyes like a fan girl.

''I think you're overthinking this, Okayu....'' The dog girl, Korone, said while moving slightly away from her friend who was behaving strangely.

After she met with her NPCs, Suzuki needed time to sort out her conflicting thoughts. So she disconnected from everything and decided to take some time away from everything that is happening, and nothing better than spending some time alone to think while eating sweets.

And that's how Suzuki came to the Maid Café she had created in her citadel when she was playing the game.

As the two maids were talking, an Automaton maid walked up to Suzuki with a Chocolate Sundae in her hand.

''Here's your order, Eve-sama.''

The Automaton maid puts the chocolate sundae in front of Suzuki politely and then she bows slightly.

''Reply: Thank you,'' Suzuki responded.

Suzuki looked at the chocolate Sundae with bright eyes, as it looked delicious, but just as she was about to start eating, she felt a gaze under her, and looking to the side, she saw that the maid automaton was still there, standing, looking at her.

''Question: Do you.....need something?''

Upon hearing Suzuki's question, the maid blushes without changing her expression, and says, ''Can I.....hake your hand?''

Suzuki, on the outside, was still the same as ever, without any kind of change on her face, but inside she was really confused.

'What kind of strange request is this? Am I some kind of celebrity?! Oh wait...to them, I am kind of one, aren't I?' Suzuki thought.

When her NPC became living beings, Suzuki realized that they saw her as a Goddess type, since she was the one who created them. But still, she is not comfortable with that kind of celebrity treatment.

Then, without much thought, Suzuki extended her hand, and the maid did the same with her hand trembling with emotion.

Suzuki then gave the maid a quick handshake, and when the handshake was over, the maid collapsed to the floor like she was a rag doll.

''Warning: Overheating in Systems. Starting Emergency Cooling Procedure. Estimated time until system restart: Ten minutes.''

A robotic voice came from the Maid on the ground, startling Suzuki.

'Eh?! Just a handshake made her pass out? What kind of image do they have of me that she breaks down with just a handshake?! I should be more cautious....' She thought in disbelief.

The maids who had dog and cat characteristics soon came to the rescue of their colleagues. While the maid named Korone greeted Suzuki normally, the other maid named Okayu could barely look at her closely without getting a nosebleed.

With a sigh, Suzuki starts drinking her Sundae, and her mood immediately improved. As she ate her sundae, she calmly began to think better of her situation.

'I'm not human anymore, and I'm probably in YGGDRASIL. Now that everything has changed and I am truly the leader of a guild that exists, what should I do? In addition to finding a method of returning to my original body, what will my goals be in this world?' She thought, reflecting on herself in this new world.

Unbeknownst to her, the maids were taking dozens of pictures of her, who had a piece of Sundae on her face as she looked at the horizon with a serene expression.

And this would be the beginning of an illegal transaction of ''Photos of Eve-sama'' that will bring Suzuki a lot of trouble.
