Overlord : Trinidad chapter: 7

Overlord : Trinidad chapter: 7

The joy, the happiness of having his friends back was… denied. Momonga's joy was denied mere seconds after it was born in his heart, and although there were still embers of that joy burning faintly, Momonga continued to feel uneasy.

"HEY! MOMONGA!" 

Ulbert's shout pulled Momonga out of his trance. "In the end, it doesn't matter. I can live with just this faint feeling," Momonga thought as he looked at his friends and experienced a small sense of joy.

"What's going on?" he responded to Ulbert.

"Shall we go get the equipment?" Ulbert asked.

"Yes… the equipment…" 

And now, the mastermind of Nazarick, the man who had united the 41 supreme beings (according to the guardians), let out a sigh full of exhaustion.

TouchMe and Ulbert were exceptional fighters with the ranks of "World Disaster" and "World Champion," possessing stats that far exceeded Momonga's despite all three being level 100. But now that they didn't have their equipment, even Momonga could defeat both of them at once.

Basically, both were vulnerable, and thus Momonga suggested returning their equipment, which they accepted gladly (logically). But now that he was calmer, Momonga remembered something that worried him…

"Pandora's Actor…" The image of the NPC he had created crossed his mind, and his skeletal body trembled. Until now, all the NPCs had behaved as they had been programmed, and Momonga was terrified of how his own creation would act…

As he cursed himself for programming his creation this way, the three supreme beings walked accompanied by Albedo, Sebas, and Demirgus, who for the moment were the only NPCs they could trust and whom they brought in case something went wrong.

TouchMe and Ulbert were concerned that Pandora's Actor might have gone mad from being alone in the treasury for so long. They were worried that an NPC with access to all their equipment, as well as the World Items, might turn against them.

Momonga was sure this wasn't possible due to the specifications he had set for him, but he was still worried about the inherent madness he had given to his creation…

After passing the mountain of gold and the trial to enter the treasury, the guardians accompanying the three supreme beings watched with admiration and fear the NPC who matched them all both physically and intellectually.

It was the greatest creation of the most intelligent supreme being…

"OH! My beloved father! Momonga-sama!" Pandora's Actor cried out upon seeing his "Father" in the treasury.

The monster before them was level 100, his equipment was almost entirely of divine category thanks to the support of all the guild members who always prioritized defending the treasury more than Nazarick's throne itself. Perhaps it was because all the members were honest workers that they developed a particular mania against the idea of a thief stealing what was theirs…

"Oh my goodness! You have returned! And I celebrate your arrival! Welcome, sirs, to my humble abode," Pandora's Actor said all this while elegantly swaying and posing each time he paused.

"That uniform…" TouchMe murmured upon seeing Pandora's Actor's fascist uniform.

"Momonga had those tastes…" Ulbert added.

"Please… don't look at my dark past," Momonga thought while wanting to rip his face off.

"Welcome, Sebas, Demirgus… Albedo-sama! I think this is the first time we meet despite already knowing your voice from that sweet call—"

"Ah, yes… a pleasure, Pandora's Actor…"

"I… am delighted to meet you," Demirgus and Sebas responded with great discomfort.

"I'm glad to finally see your face, Pandora's Actor," Albedo said with a huge and warm smile on her face.

"Call?" Momonga found it strange that they spoke of a call he wasn't aware of. "What call are you referring to, Albedo?"

"Oh, please forgive me, Momonga-sama. I had deduced that you would come to the treasury with Ulbert-sama and TouchMe-sama to recover your belongings, so I informed Pandora's Actor of your arrival to avoid any problems."

"And I thank you very much, Albedo-sama! It gave me enough time to leave this entire room without a speck of dust! If my glorious creator had touched even a speck of dirt, I would have been plunged into eternal shame! Really… I am very grateful."

Pandora's Actor's reverence was so extensive that Momonga thought his creation might kiss Albedo's feet while crying to express even more gratitude.

"Well! Let's get going; it's very dangerous for them to be without equipment, very dangerous!" Momonga said as a means of escape.

"If he really does something like that… I don't want to see it," Momonga thought while imagining the scene he had previously envisioned.

And as Momonga was almost pushing his friends forward to avoid the embarrassment of continuing to watch Pandora's Actor, Albedo spoke to him with an angelic voice, and Momonga turned to the succubus.

"Momonga-sama—"

"What's the matter, Albedo?" asked the overlord, confused.

"If you permit me, Momonga-sama, I would like to stay here to talk with Pandora's Actor. It seems like a good opportunity to catch up with him, as we don't see much of him outside the treasury," Albedo said with a smile.

"Huh? Catch up? Did she mean it personally or for work?" Momonga thought, not believing that the personalities of the two were compatible but feeling a bit pleased that they might become friends.

"Alright, you have my permission," he said while feeling a slight warmth in his heart. "Is this what parents feel when their children are about to make friends?" he wondered.

After these words, Albedo smiled at Momonga and watched him leave with the other supreme beings. When their figures were no longer visible… a deep voice from behind Albedo said:

"Do you trust that Momonga will be safe with them?" Pandora's Actor asked in an intimidating voice.

"No, how could I entrust the life of my beloved Momonga-sama to those two filthy beings?"

"Then why did you let him go with them alone?"

"Because I trust that the golems you mentioned will protect Momonga."

Albedo had called Pandora's Actor as soon as her beloved Momonga had locked himself away to speak with them. And she told him everything… to him, who she knew would only seek the well-being of his creator and respect the woman his own father chose to love him.

Though Albedo and Pandora's Actor thought that programming that feeling into Albedo was unnecessary.

Still, Pandora's Actor was concerned: "Will they be able to defend him well? Even against two supreme beings and two guardians?"

"Of course they will," Albedo replied. "I can't imagine a creation of Momonga losing against such pathetic beings… and that includes you."

Albedo smiled maliciously, and Pandora's Actor did the same.

Those smiles were born from a shared love for a common entity. Those smiles were united by a common desire.

"May this paradise remain solely and exclusively for the king whom both love."
