Ch 409:
"I wonder if Ainz feels like a background startreck character." Hana says
"We should probably make sure he doesn't wear a red shirt." Kyra says
The two eventually ride into what looks like the capital.
==================
Back with Ainz at the tomb.
"Ainz-sama progress has been made. Our shadow demons have made a rather versatile map…" Demiurge says
"That's grea!" Ainz shouts panicked
A sword he was swinging slipped out of his hands at surprising speeds heading towards demiurge.
There is the sound of a whip cracking as the demons tail flicks the great sword away.
"Ainz-sama… have you just learned a new skill? This world is full of surprises though I assume you already knew that." Demiurge says.
"Yes yes, of course." Ainz says
"Right, are you gonna go explore for yourself sir?" Demiurge asks
"Although sending solution and Shalltear out may be good. I feel a more layman's approach may be beneficial." Ainz says
"I shall prepare the guards then Ainz-sama." Demiurge says
"Actually I'll only take one companion with me. How about… hm did Kyra ever make an guardian?" Ainz asks
Demiurge looks at Ainz then looks away trying his hardest to not lie to Ainz.
"She made a special person… she scares me." Demiurge says
"It can't be that bad." Ainz says
"Her name is Merlin." Demiurge says
Ainz blanches.
"Um mage of flowers or some other Merlin?" Ainz asks
"Hello! I heard my name! Oh skelly bones, nice to finally meet you!" Merlin says holding out her hand.
"Umm, hi it's nice to meet you Merlin." Ainz says
'What version of Merlin is this!' Ainz wonders
==================
Hana, Kyra, and Artoria have been sitting for a while.
"It's actually kind of funny." Kyra says
"What is?" Artoria asks
"She's talking about all the servants trying to sell the information of us being her or informing who they report to. It's like hitting a hornets nest with a BB gun from several dozens of yards away." Hana says
"Yep! They kick up a massive fuss but ultimately find nothing." Kyra says smiling drinking the tea.
"This would normally be good tea." Hana mutters
"I agree without that weird additive it could be really good." Artoria says
Meanwhile outside the door ther servant who poisoned the tea is absolutely panicking.
"Do you think we stirred the nest too much?" Kyra asks
"We literally haven't met anyone yet." Artoria says
"True true. So much more fun to be had." Kyra says
"I was Ruby was here to reel you in and ground you in reality. I'm not that good at it." Hana says
"I'm not that bad!" Kyra says
Suddenly there is a knock on the door.
"You three have been invited to dinner with the royal family." A servant says sweating slightly.
