3 CH 3: Forms (2)

'Woah.'

That's the only thought in my head when I witnessed that incredible scene.

They are now looking at me with eyes brimming with determination and undying loyalty.

'If I have hair and skin now, I probably having goosebumps.'

"I am glad to hear that. Anyway, we're in a strange yet dangerous situation, I will need all your help..." I said while looking at them.

"... Sebas, could you please explain the situation."

With a "Yes!" Sebas stood, and started explaining what he had seen outside the tomb.

'So, it did happen huh. As expected.'

To think that the entire Nazarick has been teleported to an unknown land. And it also gave the NPCs sentience but we have the advantage due to the knowledge I have. 'I had read up to Volume 14 hehe.'

Then Sebas finished explaining, and It's time for me to speak.

"Excellent work Sebas, now that we know the situation that for unknown reasons, Nazarick has been teleported in an unknown vast plain..."

"... I would propose that we must blend with our surroundings by making artificial hillocks, putting a hill on the outer rings of the tomb. What do you think?"

"That's an amazing idea Momonga-sama, the Great Tomb of Nazarick will surely blend in with the environment," Sebas replied.

"Umu..."

"... Then Mare."

"Y-yes!" Mare replied in a frightened voice.

"You're the most suitable for the job Mare so you're going to lead the project."

"Y-Yes! Momonga-sama!"

'Uwah~ He's scared to me now. Oh! It's 'she' now right?!' I thought in a panic before my emotions had been squashed.

****

Albedo and the other guardians are of course jealous of their comrade for receiving an order. They also wanted their master will order them too, so they can show their usefulness.

Then they once again heard the regal tone of his.

"Next, I would like to understand the administrative operations of the Tomb. Albedo, how is the exchange of security information between the Guardians of the Various floors?"

"Yes, Momonga-sama. Each floor is administered by its respective Floor Guardians, but Demiurge is the overall defense commander and everyone can share information with him."

"I see. Then, Nazarick's defense commander, Demiurge. Guardian Overseer, Albedo. The two of you will be in charge of drawing up a more comprehensive administrative system for Nazarick."

Happiness welled up inside Albedo after being task by the man she loves, but of course, she doesn't want it to show so she suppressed it and replied with a question.

"Understood. Will the plans for the management include the 8th, 9th, and 10th floors?"

"Yes but plan the 9th and 10th floor as a whole. I also want to enact a rule that limits everyone's access to the 8th floor, only those who I permit can enter the 8th floor so I will undo the seal for the 7th to 9th floors access except at the time of invasions."

"Understood Momonga-sama."

Albedo and guardians are confused about why their master limit access to the 8th floor, but they didn't dare to question it, their master must have something in mind that they cannot hope to fathom.

Then their master spoke—

"Before I dismiss you all..."

The guardians are shocked — including Sebas and Albedo — because their great master who is just sitting on his magnanimous throne changed into a humanoid figure.

With his lustrous silver hair flowing on the back of his beautiful pitch-black robe, his golden-eyes gazing on them with confidence.

No lie. But they almost got alarmed by the sudden development but their senses don't lie. They could feel the presence of the Supreme beings, especially the one who had lead the said beings.

"M-Momonga-sama..." The name had left her lips because there's no doubt that the being who sat on the throne now.. is the man he truly loves. Only him.

They could feel it — SHE could feel it.

"What's with your faces?" Their master said with a chuckle.

'So handsome... This is the man I love.'

"... Do not worry my guardians. This is still me. It seems that I have another form."

His beautiful voice pulled them back from their thoughts, while they knew already that It's him. This information of their master having this form is new to them, and they are also filled with guilt that they didn't know enough.

Their merciful master probably felt their emotion and he added:

"It's okay, this is also my first time to possessed this form."

'As expected of Momonga-sama. The only being who have stayed with us.' They all collectively thought. He probably trying to soothe them.

'Now. Now. Start doing your tasks and do help each other and do not forget to be on high alert. You are all now dismiss."

"Understood!" They all replied in unison and then after that, he's gone. While she felt sad that she didn't get to see his handsome form longer she still needs to do her job as a loyal servant of the Supreme one.

And so they coordinately moved out in the throne room.

They now have just arrived on the 9th floor after leaving the sacred throne room.

"Momonga-sama is merciful that he chose to stay with us."

"T-That is... Momonga-sama."

"As. Expected. Of. The. One. Who. Leads. All. The. Supreme. Being."

"To be able to see Momonga-sama's glorious form... Haaaaaah~"

Albedo heard the guardians chatted about how glorious and amazing their leader is and of course, she joined in.

Then later a topic aroused.

".. for Momonga-sama to possess such glorious humanoid form," Aura said.

'Humanoid. Humanoid.' That word stuck on Albedo's head for a moment. And she realized what that just meant.

"This is new information, that we had never heard before from our esteemed creators," Demiurge said while fixing his glasses.

"That. Form. Also. Radiated. More. Power."

"Eh. E-Erm. D-Did you also felt that Cocytus?"

There's no doubt, that they felt the pressure increased in the throne room the moment their great master had changed his form but that is not the thought that occupied the two certain females in the group.

'I-I can... I-I can... With Momonga-sama!!' Albedo blushed.

"... that the other form— Albedo? Hmm. I see." Demiurge who is discussing with the other guardians stopped and noticed Albedo.

"It seems that we also need to decide on something else." He added.

(Moments later)

'How bothersome.' Demiurge thought.

As he looked to Shalltear and Albedo who are now both in a standoff.

They are still on the 9th floor and Sebas had already left.

"Are you back now Cocytus?"

"Truly. An. Amazing. Future." Cocytus replied as he walked back to his place.

Cocytus had just realized the importance of the "discussion" of the female Guardians. The moment he heard the idea of "heir of Momonga-sama", He could not help but imagine the future.

"... Are. They. Still. Not. Finished?" Cocytus said as he arrived beside Demiurge.

"They are still not. Well, don't worry, both Aura and Mare are there. That's for girls to discuss after all but still..."

"...for you to also have a humanoid form Cocytus."

"No. Doubt. Momonga-sama. Is. Behind. This."

"Maybe he wants you to also contribute to the strengthening of the Great Tomb of Nazarick."

"I. See. As. Expected. Of. Momonga-sama.".

"I have to tell Albedo about this to mount an investigation. Anyway, Albedo, Shalltear, are you lot done there? You need to give us tasks Albedo."

"They are okay now Demiurge." Aura said with Mare nodding beside her, they have tired expressions on their faces like they just finished a hard-job.

"Hah. Hah. Hah. We are not done but we have concluded for now." Shalltear replied.

"Hah. Yes. Shalltear we must talk about this next time on who is going to be the head wife."

"Likewise."

***

"Haaaaa~" I sighed.

'Thankfully my voice didn't crack there.'

I have just teleported to my bedroom. To be completely honest, my horny meter goes up the moment I saw Albedo and I am having a hard time trying to get her out in my head.

Well, what can I say? I have a big crush on her when I am just a reader. Okay, I need to be put in a horny jail or something.

'Maybe If I just used my undead form, it would probably be better.'

But It's also weird to be a bone man, It's hard to describe but It felt natural and unnatural at the same time. It's weird.

"Haaah~ What should I do now? What if other players do exist at the same time as me. Should we just hole ourselves in here?" I mused.

But Nazarick only had limited resources and we need to gather outside too, while It's okay for me to stay on Nazarick for a hundred years, that's a waste of time since other players will appear and we need to focus on strengthening our forces and increase our advantages.

The far-south also has some abandoned World Items. I need to go there.

Even in the light novel, the entire continent had not been mapped out yet. 'And that Sea City, my guts are telling me something about it too.'

There are also old Dragon Lords on par with my guardians. And they are dangerous if one does not possess a World Item.

The Corpus of the Abyss, I would not be surprised if at least a few of them are already an Overlord but that is wishful thinking and assuming they still exist.

"Haaaaah~" I sighed again.

The Carne Village is also going to be attacked in a few days.

"Argh. Lemme sleep for a moment!"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am awakened by the knock at my door.

'Holy! I just slept!'

I hurriedly stood up, and fix my "clothes" and then opened the door to see Albedo and Shalltear.

'Bruh.'

I faked a cough to buy time on my still confused mind.

'Oh. Of course, I've been transmigrated after all.'

But to see these two beauties in real life. Truly breathtaking. I still cannot believe it.

"Ehem. Good morning Albedo and Shalltear."

"Apologies! If we have disrupted your rest Momonga-sama!"

They both got to their knees and bow in unison.

"Eh- W-what? H-Hey! I-It's okay! Mmm yes. There's no need to be sorry. Both of you did not disrupt anything."

After calming both of them — myself included — I decided to have breakfast with the Floor guardians — except for the 4th and 8th Floor guardians."

*

We are now eating in one of the dining rooms on the 9th floor, and I'm trying my best to not eat barbarically because of the food. Oh boy.

My commoner's tongue had never tasted such food before; I think I have already forgotten the list of dishes recited by Sebas.

Several maids are on standby.

As I stopped my urge to eat like a starving man, I moved my gaze in the long immaculate dining table towards the tall robust man with Light-Cyan hair sitting on one of the chairs.

It's Cocytus, in his humanoid form. Why does he have such a form? Well, It's one of my wishes. He's not the only one who possesses such a form. There are others as well.

But as you might have thought. He's weaker on this form, some of his racial advantages have been lower, and the worse of all is one of the costs of being on this form is minus 30 levels or at least his overall abilities have been lowered by 30 levels but he could just go back to his original form anytime so there's that.

'A price for him to be able to reproduce.' I thought so proudly. His offsprings will surely be a good addition to Nazarick's forces.

"So do say Cocytus, how does it feel to be in a humanoid form?"

"It feels weird and I feel weak without my racial advantages but thank you for this gift Momonga-sama. I will surely contribute to strengthening the Great Tomb of Nazarick!" He said with fiery determination and undying loyalty evident in his voice. But.

'Eh, how did he know? Umu Demiurge I guess. But don't say it with such determination while we're eating!'
