17 Albedo's First Kiss(Side Story)/Dragon?
"That insect over there though...She's not dead?" Albedo asked.
"No, we're bringing her back with us. She has some useful skills...So far Milmil's training wasn't as fruitful as I had hoped. With Hamsuke and Clementine, she might learn some new skills. If Death Knight proves to be limited, I can try it with other test subjects in the future..."
"If I may...While I understand why you are doing this, what is the point of making fodder a little bit stronger? At the very end, their purpose will always be the same."
"You're right, but you haven't seen martial skills in action and they were not present in YGGDRASIL, she was quite strong for being a mere human. If we could learn those skills, they would benefit Nazarick as a whole but, of course, I will set them on 'Fodder' first."
"Understood."
"Also, ideally, I would like to turn 'Fodder' into something more useful, something expendable yet powerful enough to be worthy of Nazarick. However, even If I fall on that last thing, the rest is still worth the time."
"From what I have seen, even the current fodder is quite powerful compared to them...However... You, who are always many steps ahead, surely predicted that there may be other powerful beings in this world. None would compare to your power, of course, but it is only natural you would not want to dirty your hands with them."
"Nor should you or any member of Nazarick before we can test their power and plan an efficient way to destroy them."
"Haaa...! Jack worrying over me! Is that what it feels like to be a wife protected by her husband?"
"...Can you tell Hamsuke to carry Clementine, that woman, to Nazarick then? She should be delivered to Neuronist, as for you, take all the Important Items. I will be going to rescue Nfirea and once all is done, we can go back to E-Rantel."
"Yes!"
After rescuing Nfirea from an abandoned mausoleum that they were using as a base, Ainz and Albedo go back to E-Rantel. To no surprise, once all is done, both of them get ranked up all the way to Mythril.
---------------------
"Neuronist, I take you have received the new prisoner."
Ainz asks as she watches Clementine laying unconscious on the cold ground.
"Oh! You brought a new toy, you keep spoiling me, Ainz-sama!~ It looks like I am in dire need of giving you back something..."
"Ah... No, no, that will not be necessary. Your skills and good work in this area are more than a good gift already."
"Haaa... Hearing your words of praise make every inch of my body shiver in pleasure!"
"Mh. I should go now."
---------------------
Back to after Ainz and Albedo have their first kiss...
"Albedo-sama." Sebas bows.
"Greetings~"
"You seem to be very happy. Did something good happen?"
"H-happy...HAPPY?! Haaa...!"
"?!"
"HAHAHA! Happy does not even begin to describe how I feel! Not even remotely! You can be happy to slay an entire village in honor of Ainz-sama...You can be happy to serve Ainz-sama each and every day...But I...ki...AAAAAAAHHHH! I cannot believe it truly happened...Ha...HAHAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHA!"
"Very well, I'm happy to hear that." Sebas bows and leaves Albedo to laugh between herself, she hasn't even noticed Sebas leaving. He has never found out why she was that happy.
-----------------------
After Ainz saw Shizu without her 28% missing of clothing...
"Eclair!"
"C- Ugh!"
CZ2128 grabs Eclair like he was a plush and begins to hug him tightly, very tightly.
"Cannot...Breathe...!"
CZ2128 lowers the strength, by a bit, enough to let Eclair survive just another day.
"Did Ainz-sama not tell you about my request to not hug me?!"
"No."
"W-what?! Why?!" He begins to flap his feet.
"Cute!"
In response to the cute way he flaps his feet, she hugs him tightly once again.
"Help meeee...!"
-----------------------
Ainz arrives at his desk and sits down.
"Albedo is not here." He says as he looks to his side.
He quickly glances at each report, all is normal and there is nothing. "A few reports are missing, I'll have to ask Albedo later. As for Clementine's one...I guess I'll have one tomorrow, hopefully fixing her will not take too long. Once that is done, I would like to see whatever she can share her skills with someone like Milmil or Hamuske." Suddenly Ainz hears a knock.
"You may come in."
"Ainz-sama, there is an urgent matter that requires your immediate attention."
'It must about Shalltear, I believe.' Ainz thought. "What is it?"
"I had asked Nerbaral to take my place and listen to any report from the guild while I took care of my overseer's duties...She has recently contacted me regarding a dragon sighting and the guild summoning Jack, I believe you should go to E-Rantel soon. As for the dragon...I have prepared a Mirror of Remote Viewing in the throne room, the screen position was being set while I was coming here, it should be ready by now."
'Dragon? What? H- Isn't Shalltear should be mind controlled by now? Is this a butterfly effect of some sort? Or do I remember something wrong from the story? Is this because I kidnapped Clementine and didn't kill her?' Ainz thought. "A dragon...I see. Let's go to the throne room, Albedo."
"Yes!"
----------------
Ainz looks up in the mirror, the screen was already set to the target. A big dragon is currently laying to waste everything around him.
"Hmm..."
"Ainz-sama?" Albedo notices Ainz humming to himself.
"Weird...I think...This dragon is either summoned or mind controlled. This only attacks the area around him, not going anywhere from that point. Like he has to stay there."
"Nerbaral told me that the dragon has been there for a while, shouldn't it not disappear if it is summoning?"
"It could be like Milmil. But as I said it could be mind controlled, but I can't see the person who's supposed to be controlling it...He might be dead or something." Ainz said, then thought: 'This should have happened to Shalltear...Eh, whatever. I didn't want to fight her anyway.'
