Overlord : Trinidad chapter: 6

Overlord : Trinidad chapter: 6

"Nazarick is a paradise, and the supreme beings who created it are something far beyond the sacred." This was the thought of every NPC in Nazarick.

Therefore, sins against the supreme beings who created Nazarick were something unheard of for anyone living in this glorious tomb. That was why the guardians were confused.

Albedo had been forgiven for a sin that should have cost her at least her life, and although the guardians understood the reasons for the pardon, something inside them still caused them discomfort.

On the other side, Albedo had been brutally attacked for fulfilling her sole duty to protect Momonga, the last supreme being who had remained in the tomb to accompany them and whom she loved (because of Momonga himself).

Momonga feared that these two events might leave resentment in the hearts of the guardians and in Albedo's own heart.

Even so, Momonga thought that the other guardians might forgive Albedo and forget what happened. But what about the succubus herself? Could she really forget that her companions had subdued and attacked her? If her pride had been hurt by the humiliation… he didn't want that to be a reason for future conflicts, so he acted immediately.

"Only a fool would leave a problem like this unresolved," Momonga thought.

"I want everyone to understand this clearly, so listen carefully," he said.

The guardians (including Albedo) responded with a clear and strong "Yes."

"Albedo's actions were justified and she has been forgiven. Can you understand that?"

Most of them looked down with regret and replied, "Yes."

"Are you aware that Albedo's actions were the best given the scenario?"

"We understand, Momonga-sama," the guardians replied.

"Well then, I want each of you to apologize to Albedo for how you treated her."

Ulbert and TouchMe were surprised by how Momonga was handling the situation, and even Momonga thought he heard Ulbert whispering, "He really looks like a king," which made Satoru Suzuki feel embarrassed.

Most of the guardians apologized appropriately. Mare said, "I'm sorry, Albedo-san," to which the succubus replied, "I accept your apology, Mare." Aura said, "Momonga-sama is right, I'm really sorry, Albedo," and bowed her head. Albedo responded, "You did what you thought was right; I would have done the same if it were for Momonga-sama." Albedo smiled tenderly at the dark elves, who were glad to be forgiven.

Things seemed to be going well for the moment, but Momonga was concerned about the other guardians, who had been the ones who attacked directly.

"Albedo… I will work hard to earn your forgiveness," Cocytus said with his fist on his chest.

"As long as you give your all for Nazarick, the rest doesn't matter. I forgive you, Cocytus," Albedo said.

Cocytus let out a sigh of relief.

Then, when Albedo's gaze turned to Demirgus, the air filled with tension.

Demirgus and Sebas's hearts must have been the most affected by what had happened, as well as by the fact that their creators were the ones who forgave Albedo.

At the same time, the guardians said in unison, "I'm sorry…" but before they could apologize, Albedo spoke.

"Forgive me, Momonga-sama, but I cannot accept their apologies," several eyebrows were raised. Momonga became worried; he didn't want to think that she couldn't accept the apologies and that this problem might not be resolved promptly. But then Albedo added, "I am not comfortable with them apologizing; I would take it as an insult. You protected your creators, and I understand and respect that. So please, Momonga-sama, allow them not to apologize… to be honest, I would see it as an insult to the pride of the guardians."

Momonga was surprised by how maturely Albedo had handled the problem with the two most affected individuals. Therefore, he accepted Albedo's proposal.

"We greatly appreciate it, Momonga-sama," said Sebas and Demirgus when they heard their masters' verdict.

"Then, let's just forget this unpleasant moment, shall we?" Momonga said with a smile.

Both responded with a "It will be a pleasure, Albedo."

Momonga's heart calmed. He happily heard Shalltear apologizing to Albedo. The Overlord thought about his next moves. "First, I need to return their equipment to Ulbert and TouchMe," Momonga thought while considering how weak they were without it.

But then some shouting caught the attention of the three supreme beings.

"What do you mean you don't forgive me?!" Shalltear yelled.

"What you heard, I don't accept your apology, bitch! Wow, I can still feel your dirty foot touching my beautiful body!"

The vampire's face seemed to be boiling with anger. "Beautiful body?! Ha! I felt like I was kicking a filthy pig!"

Momonga first wanted to rush to stop them because he thought it was a serious fight… when he realized they were just behaving as themselves, he let them shout a bit more. Seeing them, the guardians laughed, and the tense atmosphere disappeared. "That helps," thought Momonga, and after a while, he forced them to apologize properly.

......................................................

After the tumultuous reunion with his friends, TouchMe, Ulbert, and Momonga went directly to the throne room.

There, Momonga explained to both what had happened, the last thing he remembered before being transported to the new world, how he doubted the loyalty of the guardians, and his theory that he could only trust Albedo, who had protected Momonga (although he didn't tell them out of shame that he had made her love him), and in Demirgus, Sebas, and Pandora's Actor, his own creations.

"Sebas could have killed them on his own, but instead, he contacted me. If he really wanted them dead, he would have done it himself without telling anyone. Moreover, Demirgus disobeyed one of my orders to protect Ulbert, even risking being killed by the other guardians, so everything should be fine with him," Momonga's argument was to convince his friends that they could at least trust the NPCs they had created.

He told them everything he knew, and they were stunned by how much Momonga had discovered in the short time they had been in this world.

Then, Ulbert had an idea that moved Momonga's nonexistent heart.

"So…" said the demon goat.

"Hmm, is something wrong, Ulbert-san?"

"You said that from the throne you can access the console?"

"Ah… yes, only from there can it be opened."

As if they knew what the other was thinking, TouchMe and Ulbert looked at each other.

"Then… do you think you could let us join the guild?"

"Please."

Momonga felt like he was running out of breath despite not having lungs.

"Of course… if…"

Momonga awkwardly took his staff and headed to the throne, trying clumsily to open the menu until the suppression of emotions calmed him enough to enter the guild menu. There were TouchMe and Ulbert's names on a list, and a button next to it that said "Join Guild."

Momonga looked at it doubtfully and asked them, "Are you sure?"

As they laughed, both nodded.

Momonga's skeletal finger moved towards the button… he pressed both almost simultaneously, and a window appeared in front of TouchMe and Ulbert. Both pressed "Accept."

The guild member list always looked dim; the names of their former friends had been immersed in deep darkness for a long time. Momonga didn't like opening that window because he always saw only his name in it… but today, two new names were joining and lighting up.

And then, the guild member list showed 3 members connected.

Had he had eyes, Momonga would have been crying tears of joy.
