(Momonga's office)

Sebas and Solution left for a mission that I have assigned them to get to the Royal Capital of Re-Estize.

To be honest, If fate is still the same. Sebas Tian will meet Tuare.

'If fate wills it! It is what it is then.' I thought.

If Sebas did not meet Tuare, then so be it. It doesn't benefit Nazarick so I won't do a thing about it. 'But I'm a huge hypocrite.' I chuckled inside my head.

I am now sitting in my comfy chair looking at the papers on my desk with Albedo beside me on her desk that is closed to mine.

The papers I am reading is the 1st wave of information gathered from Operation Blackout, we had already infiltrated many positions in various countries.

And the one I am reading now is something related to the country's economy and so on. I am dumb so I don't get it but still, I gotta read it because that's what the leader should do... Right?

Anyways...

Albedo had insisted to work beside me and put her desk close to me. She's working with a serious expression on the paper works of information that had been gathered from Operation Blackout which has been filtered by the Overlords I have personally summoned.

I am not dumb and knew Albedo is in love with me because I had transmigrated here with her setting already changed. She's starting to show hints from time to time. And It's kinda cute.

As for Albedo's "rival", Shalltear.

Well, I don't meet Shalltear often since she's assigned to the 1st to 3rd floor, and that in itself is a big responsibility. I also tasked her and Aura with building the dummy base in the great forest of Tob. So she rarely goes to the 9th floor. And going here will probably strange.

Yes, I have tasked Aura and her to build that Fake Nazarick since Shalltear — like every floor guardian — is kind of insecure when not given a task.

'And no doubt that Albedo and Shalltear will just fight like a cat and dog. That's probably for the better.'

*knock knock*

Lumière who is in the corner head to the door and opened it to peek who is it.

"Momonga-sama, Shalltear-sama wish to request an audience," Lumière said.

'I spoke too soon.' I could feel the air around Albedo immediately changed.

"Let her in," I said to the maid.

"Yes!"

Lumière opened the door and Shalltear strolled inside the room, walking so gracefully towards the front of my desk and kneel on one knee.

"No need to stand in ceremony Shalltear. What is it, is there something you need?" I spoke and the vampire stood.

"I came to witness Momonga-sama's glorious form one more time before heading to the task bestowed by the Supreme One."

"You've seen it now Shalltear. Could you please get out now?" Albedo chimed in as she stood from her desk and walked beside me.

'Oh, here we go.'

And so they started insulting each other and I can't help but sigh.

Then a [Message] came to me.

They go back and forth, I didn't pay attention to what are they saying since I am talking with someone but the keywords are "Gorilla", " Lamprey", "Expired", " Fake" something, etc.

"Okay, that's enough for you two..." I decided to say something after finishing the call and also because I think they ran out of insults and they are just basically staring at each other and intimidating one another right now.

"... Shalltear."

"Yes! Momonga-sama!"

"Good luck with the task, and don't forget to bring at least 5 high-level vassals with you."

"Yes!" Shalltear replied while blushing, I don't know what entered her mind just right now, but sure. She's adorable too.

I stood up from the chair and said to Albedo: "...I am heading to E-Rantel, something important popped up, please take care of these for a while."

'Eh, she blushed too? Did my handsome points increased?' I thought while looking at Albedo.

"I shall go now. Take care, the three of you. [Greater Teleportation]."

I teleported to the log house outside of the tomb to give my Ring of Ainz Ooal Gown to the battle maid stationed there — which is Entoma — before teleporting again to my room in E-Rantel where Narberal and Lupusregina are already waiting for me.

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

[E-Rantel Adventurer's Guild.]

"Momon-dono, sit. " Pluton Ainzach said with a smile while gesturing to the sofa. Momon is tall, about 200 centimeters tall, and awkwardly sat on the sofa.

Pluton Ainzach is the Guildmaster of the E-Rantel Adventurer's Guild. Of course, he knew Momon especially the incident that had to happen when one of the Gold-ranked adventurers tried to talk to one of Momon's companions.

'Mauk-san said that those two are Momon's wives.' Ainzach thought about the information he got from the Silver-ranked adventurer team Sword of Darkness.

'And no joke, now that I've met him. This guy is incredibly strong.' The moment Momon entered his office, Ainzach had immediately felt the power Momon radiates.

Ainzach is considered an outstanding warrior by human standards and has been in many battles at his time when he's an adventurer, and no doubt the man in front of him is very.. very. Strong.

"Is there a problem Guildmaster-dono?" Momon said.

"I just want to congratulate you since you and your wives are promoted as Gold-ranked adventurers."

"Eh? And why is that? We're not even a week old on being adventurers Guildmaster-dono."

"You jest Momon-dono, you are strong. The silver-ranked adventurers you teamed with, have seen you killed two Ogres, each with one-shot. We had checked the remains and concluded the arm-strength you got is strong with or without Martial Art, It's still hard to cut an ogre in one swing."

"Isn't this a bit... Y'know? We're still just new."

"Almost every Mithril and higher plates are this fast Momon-dono, It's normal. The fact that Nabe-san is a 3rd-tier Caster could already accelerate you to the Mithril-rank."

"E-Eh? Erm. Then thank you Guildmaster-dono."

'Why he does not sound happy?'

Then Momon left Ainzach office, with a new gold plate in his neck. From the brief interaction, he concluded that Momon might be a humble man. The fact that he didn't flaunt his prowess like other adventurers meant that he does not care about the advertisement of his team.

'The gold guy must have said something that pissed him off. Hmm, Well, that's his wife so It's normal.'

'He said he's from the far south but didn't specify, and he's strong. I heard the Strongest Warrior, Warrior-Captain-sama has the blood of Southerners in his veins. Are people from the south generally strong?' He thought.

But one thing Ainzach is sure. 'Momon-dono will probably be a future fourth Mithril or even... the first Orichalcum of E-Rantel!'

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

Narberal [Message] me that the Guildmaster wanted to talk with me. I went to the guild and left being a gold-plate adventurer. Bruh.

The reason that I am shocked is that I truly think I would not accelerate through the ranks this fast. But to think It's normal.

I sighed with my nonexistent throat since I am in my [Overlord Form] because if not, I'll become big horny with the two beauties beside me.

'Because I, Momonga only seek True Love!...'

'...Who am I kidding? Albedo is literally in love with me because of her settings.'

I sighed again.

'To think the guildmaster thought these two are my wives?! Words truly flew fast. Should I act like they are truly my wives now? Haa~ I'm so dumb.'

"Momon~ I found a job for us~su." A brown-skinned red-haired beauty said as she headed to our table. People can't help but stare at her as the gold-plate clink on her neck, and they're not looking at the plate.

Lupusregina's equipment is pretty light, normal but flexible looking cloths under some plates and a mace. She may not look like it but she's the Cleric of our group.

Currently, we're still in the adventurer's guild. And I had tasked Lupusregina with finding a suitable quest for us that is close to the village of Carne while I and Nabe sat at the tables.

"Ta-da~ Here is it. It's to find herbs in the Great Forest of Tob that is close to the village of Carne~su. This is one of the hardest quests in the Gold-rank~su."

"Hmm let me see—" Lupusregina gave me the magic item translator and the paper that contains the description about the quest.

The quest is from one of the many pharmacies of E-rantel, It's to gather a certain amount of 'that' herb that could only be found in the forest closed to Carne.

"— Excellent Gina. Now Let's head there," I said. And both Narberal and Lupusregina replied with "Yes!"

'While we can teleport there, I prefer to just walk and enjoy the view.'

I stood up and the two followed. We are about to exit the guild when—

"Momon-san!—" A familiar face appeared and called my name, then stop when he noticed the plate on my neck.

"You guys are gold-plated already?!" The one who exclaimed is Lukrut with a shock-face. The one who called my name earlier is Peter.

"... Yeah." I could see in the corner of my eye that Narberal having a smug face for some reason.

"As expected, Momon-san," Peter said.

"Haa~ Did you tell the guildmaster Mauk-san?"

"U-Uhh."

"Mauk-san there's no need for that. Really... But you have my thanks." I said to Peter, his team might be the cause of my rank being accelerated, but It's fine I guess.

"Momon-san you're amazing! Nabe-san and Gina-san as well!" Ninya said with his eyes almost shaping into stars.

"Yes, as Ninya said, your team is amazing. I could see the future of you guys being higher than Platinum-rank."

"Oh~ Thank you~su." Lupusregina replied while her sister Narberal "Hmp!" could be heard in the side.

After that, we exited the guild and went to the gate of E-Rantel so we could start ours to the village of Carne.

In the crypts of E-Rantel's Cemetery, a lone elderly man with a sickly appearance wearing a red robe is there with multiple figures.

The group exudes a feeling of evilness.

The man in the red robe is the one who is leading the group. Born from the outskirts of Slane Theocracy, a man that turned to necromancy because of a tragedy.

His name is Khajiit Dale Badantel.

'For 5 years. That day will finally come!'

For 5 years, Khajiit had prepared just for this day. He had been accumulating negative energy and other resources here since the cemetery of E-Rantel bigger than other cities.

Because of the annual war with the Baharuth Empire. Many fallen soldiers have been buried here. And because of that, the area is rich in negative energy.

Khajiit planned to turn E-Rantel into a city of the dead. By using the ritual [Death Spiral] but there is just one thing that he needs.

Khajiit looked at a certain magic item in his hand that belongs to the Slane theocracy.

It's given to him by a very strong executive of Zurrernorn. One that had stepped into the realm of heroes but has a very unheroic-like personality.

'I am waiting Clementine. Bring that talent-holder here so I could finally spread death!'
