Running footsteps echoed from Yuri-alpha, the second leader of the Pleiades.
Her arms holding her two of her little sisters, Cz 2128 delta and Solution Epsilon, both of which are now unconscious.
Yuri's face looked worried about something.
Upon her arrival at the colosseum she found two of her other sisters, Narberal Gamma and Entoma…
—both were lying on the ground.
"A…..ag…..ar…."
Entoma cried, her small insect arms holding her stomach, attempting to curl herself up like a millipede in a futile effort to cope with the pain.
Narberal lay unconsciousness in a similar state to her maid sisters that were currently being carried around by Yuri.
Taking her eyes of the wounded, Yuri glanced up in the hopes of finding the last member of the Pleiades that should have been present, only to be greeted with a horrific sight.
Before her was a horned skeleton, his eyes held no mercy and his body radiated an aura of despair. While the skeletal figure's appearance reminded her of the supreme one, Ainz Ooal Gown, the markings under his empty sockets seemed to be absent.
As she stared, she realised the figure had its arm out holding something. She gasped in shock from her recognition that the limp form in his grasp was her sister, Lupusregina Beta.
Her werewolf sister was trembling with fear in her eyes.
Why did she not resist? The Lupusregina that Yuri knew never surrendered to anyone so easily.
What happened?

Carne Village ( 50 Month), X Day, 6:05 a.m
Within the peaceful village, the crowd of people practice archery, swordsmanship and the use of some low-tier spells.
The carne-villager's are trained by Goblins in order to protect themselves from the occasional monsters that may show up or even worse, the empire.
Of course, most of the population in this village are goblins and ogre's.
During their practice, a strange man comes into the view of the villagers.
"Who's that? He doesn't seem familiar to the villagers." the gate security goblin asked.
"Yeah, seem's like it. I guess we can't let him pass through." his fellow guard said.
Because of the recent attacks on the village, the security level had been raised progressively. Not only this, but the sudden influx of people migrating from surrounding area's has recently become an increasingly significant issue.
The reason that the gate security goblins easily noticed the man was the way he dressed. He was draped in strange clothes that were essentially unheard of amongst the villager's. Though it appeared to be a suit, it differed from the style the villager's were accustomed too as it lacked a necktie, instead in it's place was a button. The suit was a dark matte black and had a thin blue line cross-grained with black.
The man then stopped before the gate as if he knew of an impending inspection.
The man then asked;
"Excuse me sir, ah—is this, Carne, vil—lage?" Reading the village name on the paper.
Surely, he must have known the village name from somewhere. Is he an adventurer?
"Yeah, got any business here?"the goblin replied in a strict voice.
"Uh, yes sir. I've been sent from the great tomb of Nazarick to work with uh— Nfirea, Bareare." he politely replied while looking at the paper again.
"What did you say?! From Nazarick!? Don't joke around with 'd better have something to prove it." the goblin said, his voice changing from strict to a little angry and serious. Why were there no report's that Ainz-Ooal Gown would or had sent this man here?
"Uh, yes sir, wait a sec—ok here it is sir." he replied, now taking another note from his mailbag.
"Hmm..let me see…" the goblins came to read the note.
'To whom it may concern,
I have sent this man to assist the pharmacist, Nfirea Bareare in his work on a project I have assigned him. I have contacted my servant, Lupsuregina Beta about his arrival. You are free to call on her if you would like to verify that he is a subordinate of mine
Ainz Ooal Gown, Ruler of the great tomb of Nazarick' Below the note was a seal that designated it as being an official letter from the powerful spellcaster.
When the goblins finished reading the note, they were awestruck . No need to call for Lupsuregina because the seal of Nazarick was more than enough to make them feel a sense of dread over what they had previously done.
"Oh, my deepest apologies sir—please come this way!"the goblin said
"Um, is it ok, I've been informed about the recent invasion of the village" the man politely replied to the goblins.
Despite his uncertainty, he continued on and passed through the gate; observing group's of villagers wielding various weapons and magical spells, children playing with one another and a small group of women throwing vegetables of many colours into a pot with a constant hiss.
What a peaceful atmosphere
I wonder where Beta-san is? I thought she would come out and pick me up from the gate?
Perhaps this is what Father intended?
Self-reliance or independence?
So I assume the goal he had in mind was for me to find her my self
He mused to himself.
The great tomb of nazarick (50 month), X day, 2.00 a.m. THRONE ROOM
"What are you going to do? Ainz-sama?" voiced the leader of Nazarick's guardians', Albedo.
"I have pondered this issue for a while now. About a successor—" the ruler of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, Ainz Ooal Gown replied.
"A—A—A successor?! Are you telling me that you're going to have a child? Ainz-sama I've been ready for this for a long time! Where are we going to do it?! Are we going to do it in your room? My room? Or now in this her—"
"C—c—calm down Albedo, please! I'm not going to do that!" Ainz managed to reply through her outburst. He knew that telling Albedo would set her mind into overdrive and recognised that she must be reigned in before she could completely lose control and attempt to rape him…again. (like what happened in volume 8)
"Ahem, though I am undead, I can still have a child however it doesn't involve the method you're fantasising about now" Ainz said slowly.
"I have heard about the 6 great gods that came to this world 600 years ago and one of them was called 'Surshana', an undead like me."
"So—." That came from Albedo, still confused about the lack of intimacy.
"—and the legend says he had a child."
"How did he accomplish it then?"
"There was a specific spell. It was a spell that didn't exist in YGGDRASIL and aimed to create an ultimate-being. Legend dictates that Surshana used this magic to create his child."
"So ho—" Albedo tried to ask but Ainz interrupted with his hand held up.
"We can't talk about this here, follow me to the treasure room. Nobody in Nazarick know's this and I need you to keep this a secret. I am worried that celebrations would let their guard down which may prompt our enemies such as those who had brainwashed Shalltear to seize the opportunity." Ainz said.
Of course this topic is important but keeping Nazarick and the land it ruled took priority.
—At the treasure room.—
"Please forgive my selfishness Ainz-sama, but I'm really curious as to how this magic works." Albedo said excitedly.
"It will require three world items to create, Albedo. that's why we came to the treasure room"
"Th—three world items? Is that a, uh—" Albedo stuttered.
"What is the matter Albedo?" Ainz asked.
"Uh, no, if it is the supreme one's will,I couldn't possibly disagree" Albedo said despite her expression which made it appear as if she wanted to say more.
"I want to know what your opinion Albedo. I won't get mad at you" Ainz encouraged the nervous succubus.
"Yes, Ainz-sama, please forgive me but, isn't it a waste to use three world class item's to create a child?" Albedo said in a small voice, flinching out of fear with every word.
"At first I thought of this too Albedo. However I thought we could use him more like a weapon just like…Rubedo" Ainz said with a hint of regret.
"Ainz-sama?" Albedo asked.
"Was that not a good enough reason?"Ainz responded.
"No! No! As expected of the Supreme One, truly your wisdom knows no bounds" Albedo muttered, relieved that her master was not displeased with her doubts and feeling a little elated that he welcomed her opinion so openly.
Suddenly, a figure in a very militaristic garb dashed into the room. Unsurprisingly, it was none other than Pandora's actor, the guardian of the treasury.
"Welcome! Ainz-sama! And Lady albedo! What brings you to the treasury?"
Ainz internally cringed with every word
Crap! I forgot that Pandora's actor is here.
"I wish to retrieve several world items."
"You require several world item's? Ainz-sama, is there an enemy that strong enough to use not only one, but multiple world item's out there?" Pandora's actor said.
Maybe there won't be any problem if he knows this secret too.
"Albedo!"
"Yes! Ainz-sama."
"Inform Pandora's Actor the reason as to why we're here."
"Understood!"
.
.
.
"Heh! Ainz-sama will have a child!?" Pandora's actor yelled in shock.
"Hey! Keep it down!" Ainz quickly and quietly reprimanded his creation out of fear others may hear.
"Ainz-sama will have a child?!"
Another scream comes from the gateway, surprisingly it was the maid, Yuri-alpha.
Shit! The news is spreading way too fast.
"Yuri-Alpha I order you to get in here now!" Ainz feels a new strength to halt the leak of information so he grabs Yuri and drags her into the room.
"Ainz-sama you will have a child?" Yuri questions, not noticing her master's effort to bring her into the room.
Ainz could feel the his emotional repression being continuously poured over his body, unfortunately it seems Yuri wasn't the only one that heard.
"Sebas is there anyone around here except you!" Ainz shouted, ignoring the butler's spontaneous appearance as well as his question's out of panic.
"No, Ainz-sama, as I came along this way to go to Tsuare's room there was no-one nearby." Sebas answered.
"So you are the last one to have heard it then? Follow me and get in the treasure room right now"Ainz ordered. His fluctuating tone between anxious and blank reinforcing the confusion of his companions.
"My sincerest apologies Ainz-sama! If I had not screamed, it wouldn't have resulted in this mess!" Both Pandora's actor and Yuri apologised.
"Never mind you two, pardon me Albedo, but could I trouble you to explain this to Yuri and sebas again?"
"No need to pardon me Ainz-sama I'm willing to do anything you wish" Albedo said.
Another reason that Ainz was afraid is the reaction of the other NPC's if the secret were to be revealed. For example, if Demiurge or Shalltear discovered that Albedo is the one that Ainz trusted and told his secret to, it could lead them to believe that were not worthy of his trust, and may prompt them to doubt themselves as guardians. This may actually lead them to depression or worse considering how zealous they can be. After Albedo's explanation, both listeners bore a face of understanding.
"As Albedo has informed you, I'm begging you all not to tell anyone about this."
"Understood!"
As Ainz was assured that everyone understood his wishes, the group continued into the next room. The room was a dull grey and quite empty. However, its cold stone walls were covered by strange inscriptions and symbols which would assist in the ritual he was to perform.
At first I imagined this to be a waste.
However after some research on it, the magic functions like the gashapon system in which you need to spend high-grade items to have gasha come out, however, failure to do so would just result in only more useless items.
Despite his inner thoughts, Ainz was considering which world items to use and considering how powerful each were, it was only natural that he had to consider which were the least useful to him.
Finally, he had selected three items and laid them in the centre of the room. As the ritual began, the room's inscriptions began to gain colouration and eventually glow a bright blue light. He ordered his subordinates to stand away from the items and towards the edges of the room
Citing the words for the spell, the transformation began.
The three items started to twitch, shaking in place. This would later turn into each emitting a pale glow before moving and converging at a single point. The light of the transformation compounded with the glow of the inscriptions caused even Albedo to close her eye's. The only one unfazed was Ainz since he physically had no eyes to close in the first place.
The light from the magic began to form a large circle which eventually surrounded the undead ruler.
"Ainz-sama!"
"No, no, it's fine. This is one of its effect's." The undead announced to soothe his subordinates' fears.
After this, Ainz is presented an information pad
I didn't expect this but this pad looks like the one from YGGDRASIL
Ah, I really miss those moment's.
"Hmm, let's see." Ainz murmured as he read the information.
Martial lord (15)
Striker (10)
Ki master:physical (10)
Assasin(10)
Fighter (5)
Gunner (5)
Warlord (5)
Undead (5)
Master assassin(10)
Werewolf (1)
Imp (2)
Automaton (1)
Mind tricker (15)
Etc. (6)
Sense of justice : FLEX.
He's born to be a fighter-class is he?! Just like Nishiki-san. That means he must have a weak point some where.
Wait…Mind tricker? This class didn't exist in Yggdrasil.
As Ainz pondered this, his thoughts were broken by the figure in front of him.
The body appeared to be undead because of it's similarities to Ainz, however it wasn't exactly like him though. For stater's, his skull bore horns like Albedo and his appearance was accentuated by a pure silver robotic left arm which began at his elbow then extended to all five of his fingers. The smooth chrome finish reflected the light of the room and gave off a mechanical aura, perhaps as a result of the effects of some job level. The undead remained asleep so Ainz asked Sebas to take the body and follow him to his room.
Despite the request to follow the Supreme One to his chambers, something which should have stunned the individuals in the room, everyone understood and so they all journeyed to his room. As they moved, each were careful to avoid drawing the attention of the various guards and workers stationed around the upper floors.
When they reached the ornate room of Ainz Ooal Gown, the newest member of Nazarick was laid down on Ainz's bed
"Wow, he look's very much like you Ainz-sama" Albedo commented.
"Forgive my rudeness for likening you to one of your servants Ainz-sama, but his form reminds me of yourself with features related to Albedo-sama" Sebas said.
"Ainz-sama, could this be that you will now recognise me as your formal wife, or even better, the mother of this, no, our child!" Albedo said, however as she spoke each word, her voice rose and each syllable became more excited than the last.
"C—C—Calm down Albedo! I—i—it is just a coincidence! Look! He holds the fighter and assassin classes! Just like Sebas and Solution too! So he's not look like you only! Calm down!" Ainz immediately, hoping to appease the now starry eyed overseer.
"His class just is like me? Ainz-sama what about his other information? Does he have any other jobs besides being a fighter?" Sebas asked.
"Umu, look. Perhaps we should discuss what he can do." Ainz replied.
—After Ainz's explanation.—
"So he is pure, no, he is mostly close-combat orientated?" Pandora's actor observed.
"Indeed, that's the problem. Since he possesses such an affinity for melee, his mage skills will be dramatically low which will in turn, affect his mana." Ainz replied.
"Ainz-sama, that point of weakness must surely be compensated by his extraordinary ability in melee fighting. Does this not please you?" Yuri asked nervously.
Ainz understood her feelings completely.
In fact, Ainz was very interested in his son, however he was extremely worried about his future. In the event an opponent which neither Ainz nor his son defeat, his chance of escape was very low as many effective methods required the expenditure of a moderate amount of mana. Even Sebas, a fighter who focuses on close combat had a mana level higher than his son's.
But maybe Yuri was right.
Despite his very low mana, he should still be an incredibly difficult opponent in close combat.
Perhaps he may even be stronger than Rubedo.
"Hm, mmm."
A low mumble sounded throughout the room with the source being non-other than Ainz's new child.
"He's awake!" Albedo shouted happily, acknowledging that her dream to be the mother of her master's child has finally come to fruition.
"Are you alright?"Ainz asks his son in a surprisingly deep and soothing tone.
"Father?" the undead replies.
"Yes! That's your father! And I'm your moth—" Albedo tries to finish her sentence but is silenced by the Supreme Overlord of Nazarick.
"Albedo! Please be quiet for a minute and allow him to speak." Ainz orders.
"My apologies! Ainz-sama." The woman replies and bowing her head low.
"I feel a little dizzy but otherwise I'm ok." the undead replied.
At this, Ainz sighs before launching into a lengthy explanation about Nazarick and the new world, asking at regular intervals for comments from each of his subordinates.
"My dad is the ruler of this formidable place?" the undead said.
"Yes, and you are his son, his successor." Yuri said.
"I—I—I thank you all for creating me! I take it upon myself to work hard to compensate you for the three important items you have so generously used to create me! Thank you so much!"
The undead's voice carried his praise to his father and the others.
"Pay it no heed." Replies his father.
"Ahem, might I ask all of you to leave the room for a few moments? I would like to talk in private with him. Should anyone ask you where have you been for so long, just tell them that you were assigned various tasks by myself. Understand?"
"Understood Ainz-sama." they all reply.
"Now, do you understand what you are able to do?" ainz asked
In YGGDRASIL if you create NPC's, they don't need to learn anything. This was due they should be able to use anything they are set with, assuming this remains the same here, he shouldn't need to learn anything that is already preset
"Uh, yes father" the undead said.
All right!
"So, you realise how strong you are." Ainz said.
"Yes father, I understand this. I would not like it for myself to become a hindrance for your guild. I also understand that the other's around me have far more experience than I do and thus are my seniors. I'm just a little worried is all"
"And why would that be, son?" Ainz asked with a hint of confusion.
"That they might see me differently or treat me differently. I know that I'm your son and I take pride in that but I don't want special treatment, lest anyone become jealous."
"I'm happy you see things that way"
"However, I want you to know that being the son of a ruler does not entitle you the right to oppress the others through power, you are to know to lead them through respect" Ainz said
This was another point that Ainz was worried about. Back in the day when he was Suzuki Satoru, he had seen movies, manga or even anime in which a person high in power or prestige has a relative, mainly a child, who abuses their position for their own satisfaction or greed. Ainz was afraid that this would happen in Nazarick.
"Please trust me father, I would do nothing to disrespect them. Each of them are a piece of the creation that is the Great Tomb of Nazarick, all of them fabricated by the genius of the supreme beings, your friends. How could I treat them unjustly? Even those who scrub the toilets should be treated with dignity."
"Even if they hate me, I will not hate them." The undead concluded.
Despite them both being undead Ainz could sense the desperation in his son's voice, a characteristic he had kept since his time as a normal human
I'm surprised, I didn't know he had thought so much about this already
Well, lucky for me that he isn't like those brats in the manga or anime I've seen.
"Umu, it pleases me to know my son is so humble" Ainz complimented
"Now, all of you may return."
With perfect timing, the door opened and the other's made their way into the room.
"Pandora's actor, you look troubled." Ainz inquired
"Uh Ainz-sama, forgive me if I'm being rude but despite knowing him since birth, I still don't know his name" Pandora's actor sheepishly replied.
Oh crap, I was so excited that I forgot to name him!
Argh! What should his name be?
"Pardon me Ainz-sama, but since we left the room I was thinking of our sons' name" Albedo announced, placing particular emphasis on the word 'our'.
"So what do you believe is a suitable name, Albedo?" Ainz asked, ignoring this.
"Yes, his should be similar to yours and the name must start with the letter A so I propose the name 'Adelrick Positron Sigma' " Albedo said.
"Adelrick? Doesn't that sound a little strange? Perhaps shortening it to Adel is more appropriate" Ainz mused.
Turning from his overseer to his son, Ainz asked
"Are you okay with this?"
"I am most gracious for Albedo-sama's choice and humbly accept the name you have given me, father." Adel said with earnest.
"Excellent. Now, I bestow upon you the name of Adel Positron Sigma. The son of the ruler of the Great Tomb of Nazarick Ainz Ooal gown!" The supreme overlord declared
"Adel Positron Sigma! Please accept our care as your humble servants." The N.P.C's asked while saluting their supreme leaders son.
"Thank you everyone, I accept your care and will try my best to not obstruct Nazarick's goals" Adel saluted back.
" Adel, there is no need to be that polite." Ainz said
"Y—yes father. I'm sorry." Adel said
"Ah…my sincerest apologies everyone but what are we going to do from now on?" Adel said.
"You need to be measured for clothing" ainz said.
"Yuri? Can you handle this by yourself?"
"Yes, Ainz-sama"
" Ainz-sama, how do you propose we escort him out of here undetected?" Albedo asked
" We will use a a [GATE] to take him" Ainz said
"Do not worry father, I..I can transform into another form." Adel said.
Transform? But how could he do that since he's not a dopple ganger?
All of them gaze at the son of Ainz Ooal Gown change form. Despite being an ability that dopple gangers possess, the process of transforming was in fact, very different. The figure of Adel became distorted as his image warped and pixelated and within a matter of seconds, he had reappeared in a completely different form.
Now in the form of an Imp, Adel bore many similarities to Albedo. The only differences being that he is male, has short hair and no longer has the horns as they belong to his skeletal form.
"This form is weaker than my undead form, but it increased my mana a little." Adel describes
" Excellent. Now, go with Yuri and Sebas. I will send you to Carne village in order for you to gain some experience as to how both Nazarick and the outside work as well as how they interact." Ainz said
This should help him learn how Nazarick works.
I'll send him to help Nfirea. Since it's not that far from here, keeping him around might make the other's suspicious.
"Adel. Before you go, you must know that you are a worker that I've sent you to help someone work on his potion. Understand?"
" I understand father, it's to hide my existence isn't it?" Adel said.
"Umu..I'm sorry about this Adel"
"There is no need to be sorry father! I know the purpose of this. In fact, I actually agree with you" Adel said
"I'm glad you understand." Ainz said.
Ainz walked out of his room to make contact with the werewolf maid, Lupusregina beta.
"[Message]"
" Ainz-sama?" An excited and confused voice asked
" Lupsuregina Beta. I'm sending a worker to Carne village, come pick him up soon"
"Uh…okay Ainz-sama but what does he look like?"
"He is an unde…a human. He's currently wearing a suit. He will help nfirea on his potion work" Ainz said.
"Understood ainz-sama"
.
.
.
Due to his high level of intelligence, Ainz felt that Adel would be an excellent choice for a lab assistant for Nfirea as he was trying to produce a new potion for Ainz. His intelligence and cunning indicated he is as clever as Demiurge, Albedo and Padora's Actor however he's a Perfectionist.
Ainz hesitated to send him to Carne village however he felt that his perfectionism could help increase the quality of work… and maybe he could look after Lupsuregina Beta because she messed things up so frequently. Despite the warnings he had given her about her bad habits, it didn't guarantee that the problem wouldn't arise again.

Carne Village (50 Month), X Day, 7:00 a.m
Well, I've walked for like 55 minutes now and there is no woman with red twin-tails here
Adel walked past a group of people and quite a few homes however his attention was drawn to the archery practice that was taking place.
Hmm.. I wonder if I could join their practice for a few minutes?
The villagers, orges and goblin army were firing at the many targets that had been set up, during which Adel decided to inquire about practice to the goblin who was clearly leading the session
"Excuse me sir" Adel asked
"Yes?" The goblin replied
"Would you mind if I try shooting it?"
"Hoo? You wanna shoot it kid? It's far more difficult than it looks" goblin sneered, earning mocking laughter from his other comrades.
"Hey! Hand him a bow and a couple of arrows"
The largest goblin walked to Adel and brought the bow and arrows to him.
"What's the farthest length you guys can shoot?" Adel asked
"About 200 yards" the goblin replied.
"And how many attempts do you guys have?" Adel asked again.
"I can't remember. about six or seven I think . You gonna break the chart?"
Adel didn't answer. Instead, he glanced at the shooting target hangers that hang the previous target that people have shot.
It's a simple hanger with 2 nails to stick the target paper.
"I only require 3 arrows" Adel said
"So you're gonna break the chart eh? You sure that you're gonna make it?" that sneer came from the goblins again.
Adel stands from the target 200 yards away however realistically it was more than 200 yards if only by a little bit.
Adel smiled and began to focus on the target. He slowly breathes in and releases the first arrow.
It hits the target paper. But not in the middle, instead it's on the far left.
The goblins laugh "well there's a second attempt" one commented
Adel did not react at all.
He breathes in again and fires the second one.
It hits the target again but it too, isn't in the middle. While it's on the left side of the target again, the shot was higher than the first.
"Well kid, you can give up now. We won't mock you" the head goblin sneers.
Adel again, did not reply.
He inhales deeply and releases the last arrow that he required.
This time the arrow hits the middle, meaning it hits the target. Coincidence?
While walking to the shooting target. He pulls the 3 arrows out. Entry points now small holes in the paper.
Adel proceeds to walk back past the goblins who are looking at him in surprise to the hanger.
He then puts the 2 holes from first and second arrows that he has shot hang on the nails which the length between 2 holes is fitting the length between 2 nails that use to stick the target paper.
This means the first 2 shots is use to create a hole on the paper to hang it on nails.
Adel now turn's his face to speak to the goblins who are now frozen in shock.
"Don't count your chickens before they've hatched." Adel says while passing them and out of the practice range. Even the Ogres were stunned.
After his small performance, Adel realised that finding "Nfirea Bireare or Lupusregina Beta" to introduce himself and work with them is currently his top priority.
Fortunately for Adel, he had found the maid with red twin-tails while walking for 15 minutes.
The problem was however…
That maid was sleeping.
Is it allowed to sleep during work time? Woah, that's so cool.
Or, maybe she's tired?
In fact, Lupsuregina was still asleep simply because of how much she drank at a party the night before
But, it wasn't her fault that she wasn't at the immigration point as Adel had arrived too early.
"Uhh miss?" Adel asked, trying to wake the maid.
"Misssss?" Adel whispered in Lupsuregina's ears.
"He…huh…hm?" The still partially drunk maid muttered with difficulty.
"Wahhh!?" Lupsuregina jumped out of her skin due to the close proximity her face was to this stranger's.
"What are you doing?! Are you crazy!?" Lupsuregina yelled.
"I—I'm so sorry miss beta! Ainz-sama sent me here" Adel said.
"Hmm? Oh! So you're the one that ainz-sama told me about? You sure came fast" Lupsuregina said
"I came too fast?" Adel repeated with a tinge of confusion.
"Hff…" The werewolf maid grabbed her sides in an effort to restrain herself from howling with laughter. Needless to say she failed to hold it in.
What's she laughing at? I hope she's not laughing at a word that I've said which could be a homophone to another word.
"Anyway, Ainz-sama said that you've been sent here to help Nfirea work on his potion. So that mean's you must have some skills"
"Not that much, haha " Adel said
"Well, let's go. Nfirea should be in there."
"Understood miss beta"
This guy looks dangerous-suuu
Even my animal sense is telling me that
Just where did Ainz-sama find this guy?
Walking into a small building, the two were greeted with a strange and rather unpleasant, pungent aroma. A multitude of various vials and test tubes lined each of the shelves which hung on the walls, every single one a different colour. Finally, Nfirea was found working at his bench, accompanied only by the sound of bubbling liquid and the hiss of heating tools under his many flasks.
After their initial introductions, Adel engaged in a long discussion with Nfirea.
"At first I thought you were some kind of demon but thankfully, you're a human. Where did you live before you met Ainz-sama" Nfirea asked.
Oh no. What should I tell him? I don't know about the topography around here.
"I came from the…..ah.. south"
"Ahh! So that's why you wear a suit" Nfirea said
People down south wear a suit?
"By the way Adel-san, could you pass me that potion?" Nfirea asked.
"Oh yeah, here."
During his work, Nfirea noticed that Adel had done something that was very strange, Adel was focusing on salt and a glass of water.
"What are you doing Adel-san?" Nfirea asked.
"I'm trying to make a solution from Sodium Chloride and water. I wonder why the salt won't dissolve?" Adel said
Because Adel had been created by Ainz, therefore the information of Yggdrasil as well as the world that Suzuki Satoru had lived in formed the basis of his knowledge.
"Uhh.. I don't know what you mean by that Adel-san. But uh, usually salt doesn't dissolve in water" Nfirea said
What? Salt doesn't dissolve in water? Really?
Wait a minute.
Adel immediately walked out of the room
"Hey?! Where are you going Adel-san?" Nfirea asked
"Outside. It'll only take a minute Nfirea-san so don't worry, I'll be back" Adel said.
Adel quickly left the room
"What a strange guy…" Nfirea said.
"Hey? Where are you going?" Lupusregina Beta asked, standing up from leaning on the wall she was just leaning on.
Adel didn't answer because his mind was too preoccupied with wondering about what he had just learnt.
If the salt doesn't dissolve in water, that must mean that various scientific laws must be different from Father's world.
I wonder if this includes the laws of physics?
Adel thought as he left the building.
Taking his gloves off, he drops them to the ground from a height of around 3 meters. Performing his calculations in his note's, he rechecked them to ensure they're accurate.
Forgoing the friction from the air. Gravity of this world seems to equal approximately 9.63 m/s square.
Though very similar, it was still slightly different to the world Father is from. It would seem there is more to this world than what I originally thought
The reason that Adel did not do this in Nfirea's house was simply because he was afraid he would break something…
.
.
.
.
.
After a long day of making potions, it was now timefor the workers to call it a day
"We will continue this tomorrow Adel-san, thank you for your help all today" Nfirea said
"thanks Nfirea-San, it's been my pleasure working with you"
Nfirea leaves the room
Adel does not however, he now concentrates on his sheet in the room
The werewolf maid walks in
"Oiiii new guy-suuu" Lupusregina Beta said.
"Yes?"
"What are you doing? You've been acting strange all today?"
"Well, I see that some things conflict with many scientific laws, an example salt is being insoluble in water despite it being a polar substance. When I tried to mix oil with water, it doesn't dissolve and the emulsifier also works. Oh, I also forgot to mention the physics law's…" Adel's ramble was cut off by a confused and suspicious maid.
"Uh…"
"I don't understand what you're trying to say-suuu"
"Uhh…forget about that miss Beta."
He's dodgy
He's talking really strangely as well. Seriously, where did Ainz-sama find this guy?
When I first met him… my animal instinct skills could sense something dangerous about him
Something that even I can't handle alone.
Lupusregina Beta walks out of Nfirea's office
"I'm sure that from this distance he can't hear me"
[message]
"H…hmm? Lupusregina beta what's wrong?" Grumbled the voice of her master.
"Yes Ainz-sama. Would you mind if I request for you to send my Pleiades sister's to back up me at carne village. Two or even three should be enough I think."
She needs me to send her sister's to support her? What kind of problem does she even have that she needs three pleiades!?
"That is a request I can grant however tell me, what is the reason for this? Is there an enemy invading the village?"
"No, Ainz-sama. My sincere apologies but I think the worker you've sent me looks suspicious. He talks really weirdly that I don't understand"
Wait…is that about Adel?
"My animal instinct's could feel it. Ainz-sama, he's dangerous" Lupusregina Beta said with an uncharacteristically serious voice.
Lupusregina was a werewolf and has a skill called "Animal instinct"
The skill was essentially a prediction of sorts as well as a detection skill. When in combat or assessing another being, Lupusregina could more accurately predict future movements of that being. Not only this, it could sense the presence of others when they were hiding. Lupusregina sometimes uses this on Yuri-alpha to avoid punishment from playing lewd jokes or irritating her.
"Uh—Lupusregina Beta—there's no need to send your Pleiades sister's there. Adel was only a unde…a human. He's just a man that I've found while doing a mission in Re-estize"
"I—I apologise Ainz-sama but…"
Ahh…I didn't know it was gonna end up like this.
I know what she's feeling right now.
Hmm… I'm pretty sure that some of them don't have any work right now.
Maybe sending them out can satisfy their desire to work hard.
Well, Adel won't do anything out of control but if he does… it should be a great opportunity to test his power.
Only three Pleiades won't be able to handle him since he's been created by three world items so I guess I should keep an eye on them.
If the situation goes wrong I'll just use [GATE] to go stop them.
"Alright, considering how much you distrust him I'll send Cz-delta and Entoma to back you up. Is that enough?"
"Ah—yes that's enough Ainz-sama, please forgive me for my rudeness and selfishness "
"Mmm, if that's all, Cz and entoma will go there in an hour"
"My deepest thanks, Ainz-sama"
.
.
.
.
An hour passes before Cz and Entoma arrive at the village.
It was night time now and Adel lay asleep in the room that had been prepared for him.
Despite the fact that Adel was undead, he still needed rest in his Imp form.
While silence had settled over the village, all lay asleep…except for three battle maids.
"Lupu, Ainz-sama told us to be here so what happened?" An emotionless question came from Cz
"You've heard about the new worker?" Lupusregina said.
"Yeaaa, Ainz-sama already told us but I think it was a little too sudden" Entoma replied.
"You haven't seen him before though, right?" Lupusregina asked.
"No." Both Cz and Entoma said.
"I'm sure that if you see him tomorrow, at least En-chan would feel like me. That same feeling is the reason why I called you here."
Usually Lupusregina was a cheerful girl but this time both Cz and Entoma could feel the serious mood she was in.
Who was this new guy that she was so concerned about?
Many hours later the sun rose and so, the next day began…
.
.
.
.
.
Adel walked out of his room in Nfirea's house. He had only gotten around two hours of sleep because he spent that night solving equations about the many law's of physics in this world.
Ninety seven precent of the classical physics earth were the same as this world. Of course maths remained the same. The other three percent was gravity, mercury, pressure etc.
Leaving the house, he decides to go for a walk.
On his walk he finds two maids that he'd never met before, talking to Lupusregina.
The first had long orange hair and wore an eye patch with a gun slung on her waist. The other was a strange maid. She looked like she wore a mask of a small girls face.
During his observation of the three, they all began to notice Adel.
"Good morning miss Beta. These are?" Adel greeted Lupusregina and asks about the other two
"These are my sisters. We're Pleiades battle maids who are guardians of Ainz-sama."
"Ohh, so you are the pleiades that Ainz-sama had told me about. It's my pleasure to meet you"
From Adel's perspective, the Pleiades that he had heard about from Ainz were his Idol's. Yuri had told him about their teamwork and how they worked as Ainz's body-guard's.
The same could not be said about Entoma's view of Adel.
She now understood what Lupusregina had told her.
Lupu-chan was right. There's something dangerous about him.
This guy was different from the people from E-rantel, even Re-estize,
even the blue-rose. No, he's different from every one that I've met. I can feel a sense of something hazardous radiating from him.
"This is Cz 2128 Delta and Entoma Vasilissa Zeta" Lupusregina told Adel.
"Hi, my name is Adel sigma. I'm a pharmacist that Ainz-sama found in the south. I'm here to work with Nfirea." Adel said.
"Nice to meet you." CZ said.
"Me toooo" Entoma said, hiding how she truly felt.
Adel left the maids to continue his walk.
"Feel it En-chan?" Lupusregina asked
"Yes I can feel it. I think I understand why you called for me and Shizu" Entoma said.
"I can, as well" Cz added in a monotone voice.
"Even Cz?" Lupusregina and Entoma said.
Cz only nodded in response.
"That's why we need to keep our eyes on him. If he's doing anything suspicious we must report to Ainz-sama immediately. However, if he plans on doing anything to Nfirea, Enri-chan or whoever that Ainz-sama ordered to be protected, we need to deal with him." Lupusregina said.
—In Nfirea's office.—
"What was that Adel-san?" Nfirea looked at a piece of paper that had been filled in with numbers and various other mathematical symbols.
"Oh, these were equations I had solved last night" Adel said
"What were they for?" Nfirea asked seeming interested in his companion's work.
"Well, it's mainly calculations regarding gravity among other things."
"So why you do this?"
"I used this for many purposes. For example, when an enemy camps away near your village you can find a spot to use an explosive device or spell effectively. This is because if you know the relation between your distance to the camp, the mass of the grenades you use or the velocity of the spells you cast as projectiles as well as the time can use these factors in order to implement your device or projectile accurately." Adel said.
Nfirea's face looked doubtful.
"Okay, so for example, you see that bin over there?" Adel point's to it.
"We measure the distance how far that bin is from us" Adel said while taking a metre-ruler and measuring the length between the two and the bin.
"Okay, it seems that the bin is around 6 metres away from us."
"Think of the bin as the enemy camp and this ball of paper is a bomb." Adel scrunches a piece of paper in to a small ball.
"So what we have is a distance of 6 meters, gravity that I have measured to have a value of 9.63 m/s square and the mass of paper…" Adel puts the paper ball on the scales.
"Uh huh." Nfirea said while looking at the paper.
"And you want your paper to go in the bin in 3 seconds"Adel said
" So we conclude in the equation that final velocity = initial velocity + acceleration x time and to do this…oh and you need to add the friction of the air in this room too…"
"Tadah! We've found how much our final velocity would be."
Adel takes the paper and throw's it at the calculated speed, resulting in…
The paper going directly into the bin
"Wow! That's so cool Adel-san, could you teach me that?"
Adel hesitated to teach Nfirea
"My apologies Nfirea-san but maybe another time."
"Oh…Ok. I forgot that working for Nazarick was so important. By the way, let me test your potion Adel-san"
"Ok. Uhh…take the blue one on the shelf."
"Alright."
Nfirea climb's on the shelf but finds himself confused because there are two blue potions"
"Ahhh…Adel-san there's two of them so which one?"
"The one after you." Adel said
"Alright"
Wait a sec….I don't remember making two potions
…..
OH crap! Now I remember why there's two bottle's of potion
Last night I made liquid Cyanide in order to test it on animals!
"Nfirea-san! Stop! One of them is…" Adel shouts to no avail
He is too late and Nfirea begin's to vomit and begins to seizure on the ground.
"Oh shit! Nfirea-san!" Adel yells
The yell was loud enough that it even made the Pleiades maids alert.
"What's that sound?" Entoma said
"The office." CZ treplies
.
.
.
.
"Nfirea-san, hang on! " Adel shouted.
Shit! There's not enough time to decontaminate him
The normal potion can't deal with cyanide.
Nfirea's unconscious so there's only one way.
Despite Adel having both Sodium thiosulfate and amyl nitrile in his pocket, the two could only be used in first aid if he had inhaled the Cyanide.
There's no choice, I need to cure him with Greater Lethal.
It'll decrease a bunch of my mana but there's not enough time, especially because he had cyanide.
Adel casts his "Greater Lethal" to heal Nfirea.
The spell begins to take effect and Nfirea returns to normal albeit still being unconscious.
"Fuu…he will awaken soon."
Adel thought of how he could apologise to Nfirea however a loud crash broke him out of his thoughts.
"You!" Lupusregina shout's in frustration.
Adel suddenly realises that there's only one logical conclusion the maid would come to if she saw him standing over an unconscious Nfirea.
Fuck!
"As I expected! My animal instinct skill was right but I didn't think you would have started so fast!" Lupusregina said.
Lupusregina charged Adel and the two broke through one of the wooden walls of the house
The villagers, goblin's, ogre's were startled by the thunderous sound and couldn't but help panicking
"What just happened?!" One of the flailing bystanders ask a calm Cz.
"Terrorists. Take care of him." Cz said, pointing to Nfirea
"What happened to him?"
"Take him to a doctor." Cz ignores his question and runs out of the house to support her sister.
Adel, having been charged out of Nfirea's office, struggles to regain his bearings
"Argh!"
Suddenly he's shot by Entoma's [bullet bugs] which have cause him minor damage.
The attack is followed by Lupusregina taking advantage of the momentary distraction to smash her crosier into Adel's face.
This is only getting worse and worse. Explaining what really happened would be useless by now since they won't listen to me
Entoma's flying insects attempt to tackle him however he manages to avoid them by jumping out of his previous place and putting some distance between him and his attackers.
In contrast to the light-hearted misunderstandings an anime or manga portrayed, the atmosphere lacked any comedic effects. Instead, the maids stared at him, the silence surprisingly contained more anger than any yell or cry could ever convey.
"I see you could block my Crosier. If an average human was hit, they wouldn't be breathing right now." Lupusregina said while sprinting towards Adel with Entoma and her equipped bug blade following close behind. What made the situation even more intense was the precision firing of projectiles to cover their advance, most likely from a now invisible Cz.
Entoma leapt forward forcing Adel to block her blade and counter by throwing a punch at her arm. Unfortunately, his fist only met the cool and hard exterior of her bug armour.
Seizing the opportunity, Lupusregina charged from his left and strikes at his hip with her crosier.
"Argh!" Adel yelps in pain.
As if the pain he was already feeling wasn't enough, his back was suddenly peppered with hard objects hitting it.
However, despite the bullets hitting their mark, their damage was severely reduced due to the level difference between Adel and Cz.
If we keep fighting here, we could cause a lot of injuries. I should try and move the fight elsewhere
Adel teleports himself away from Lupusregina and Entoma to put some distance between them with the use of a scroll provided to him.
Then,
"[place transportation]"
The maid's stop, afraid that he will use magic which could be explosive or have a large area of effect.
Instead, a spark ripples through his hand and shoots into the sky. Like firework's, the spark explodes in the sky and expands over the area the combatants are in before quickly plummeting to the ground. As they are consumed by the sparkles of the spell, the maids and Adel find themselves standing in a sandy desert.
"Where are we" Entoma asks her companions.
"I didn't want anyone in Carne-village to be injured so I took you to this place"
"Also, where is that invisible automaton?" Adel said
The maids were shocked, how could he have known?
"There's no chance of escape. Please, stop." Adel tells them as if he were begging.
But the Pleiades didn't care. Lupusregina and Entoma rush toward's him and Cz proceed's to fire another magazine of bullets at him.
I guess there's no choice
Entoma uses lightning bird talisman and sharp cutting talisman.
Adel block's both however his leg is hit by Lupusregina's crosier.
Adel falls to the ground and is hit by more of Cz's bullets.
"ARGH" a cry of pain breaks through the sound of gunfire.
But that's not enough. Lupusregina proceeds to swing her crosier at her downed opponent, willing to hit him in the face.
Only, she find the momentum of her swing suddenly ceases.
"W…what?!" Lupusregina says in disbelief.
This human can receive this level of force?
How?
Adel now attack's back.
He kick's away Lupsuregina with his foot and seize's her crosier
"That's impossible, that crosier is way too heavy! Even Yuri-nee sama couldn't lift it up!" Entoma remarked in shock
As a member of Nazarick's battle maids, to have your weapon stolen by an enemy was considered a shame, especially so considering that they were essentially gifts from their creators the supreme beings.
Lupusregina is enraged. An absurd feeling of wrath burns through her chest and throughout her entire body, urging her to destroy him.
"What are you!" Lupusregina yells, beyond the point of being slightly pissed off.
Adel didn't answer.
Hoisting the heavy crosier in his hands up high, he brings down on his attacker.
Fortunately for Lupusregina, she uses [FLY] to avoid it.
Realising her companion hasn't ceased firing just yet, Adel skilfully deflects the incoming bullets using the large metallic weapon.
The bullets from Cz are really annoying.
I need to take her down first.
That being said, it wasn't an easy task given how well the Pleiades were coordinating their attacks. Adel thought how difficult fighting only the three of them were and dreaded the prospect of fighting all seven.
I don't want to use this but I have to take Cz down.
I'm sorry!
Adel lays the crosier softly on the ground before looking at the maids with regret.
"[ ABSOLUTE INVISIBILITY]" he calls as his body flickers before disappearing.
"Where did he go?" The insect maid questions in confusion but it falls on deaf ears.
There's no reply to Entoma's question.
Glancing at her werewolf sister, she understands why.
Lupusregina has her sharp fangs bared and is seething with anger, visibly shaking as she pickups her crosier.
"That damn shit! I'll kill that son of a bitch and tear him to pieces! I'll torture him until he beg's for his life!"
"Calm down lupu…"
"Entoma! Use message to tell Ainz-sama about this"
"U—Understood" Entoma replies in a small voice
"Now where's that son of a bitch!" lupusregina howls at the sky in a feral manner, her voice reminding those around her just how savage she truly is.
"It's like he vanished." Cz's bored voice remarked.
"I heard him say 'absolute invisibility'. Could it be a skill?" Lupusregina asked, trying to calm herself.
"It could be higher than our detection skills."
"Shit! I thought it would've been easier than this."
All Lupusregina could do was focus on exacting revenge on the one who had betrayed her master and had stolen an item which was gifted to her from her own creator. What made her even more aggressive was the fact that it seemed that her skill 'animal instinct' couldn't detect anything which could be due to whatever their opponent had said before vanishing.
"Lupu-chan, I can't contact Ainz-sama. Looks like the communication is being blocked."
"So the only option we have is to ki—no we'll capture him! We'll force him to take us out of here and then torture him to death." Lupusregina smiles in glee at the many sadistic thoughts running through her head.
"Can I have his arms?" Entoma asks
Despite the situation, the Pleiades are still fully confident enough to make a few jokes .
"Of course but you'll have to wait until I finish with him, hehehe" Lupusregina giggles.
"We need to re-group. Cz, come to our position"
Before their sister could return to them, a bright light shot up from the ground in a wide arc, eventually forming a neon circle around them. As they frantically glanced around to determine what was going on around them their vision went black.
As if waking up from a dream, their vision slowly returned to them. Small brown buildings made of brick walls and brown tiled roofs littered the grassy landscape, people that appeared to be villagers as well as trolls and goblins stared at them with a dumbfounded expression. Somehow this place seemed oddly familiar.
"Lupu-chan!"cried a voice
Turning to the direction the voice came from, Lupusregina discovered that it was Enri.
" Are you okay?" Enri asked worriedly
"Yeah Enri-chan we're fine. Tell me, have you seen that black suit guy? Also, how's Nfirea?"
"I—I haven't seen him. Uh—Nfirea is okay. He's fine now so there's no need to worry" Enrina said.
Lupusregina sighs in relief. Not for Nfirea's sake but that she wouldn't have to face her masters wrath if he found out she had failed in yet another task.
She turned around and shouted
"Everyone! There is a terrorist in the village so stay alert. He wears a black suit so if you see him, report it to one of us or capture him!"
The Pleiades were surrounded by frightened expressions. Many feared that this could be a spy sent from one of the other kingdoms, a lunatic or even worse…a man out for revenge after the last attack.
.
.
.
-Before the Pleiades come back to carne-village –
"[ABSOLUTE INVISIBILITY ]"
"greater invisibility" or "complete invisibility" can be detected by some items and skills in Yggdrasil like the glasses Yuri wears.
But not with "absolute invisibility".
Unlike the other's, it can't be detected as if the user never even existed
Now that they can't detect me I should look for Cz.
As a multi-species creature who is part werewolf, Adel can use some skills which only those of a specific race can use. An example of this is "animal instinct" which can be used to search for masked or disguised opponents as well as assess the potential threat or foes. Unlike those who are fully part of the species, Adel can only use the skills to a limited degree and requires much more energy and concentration to do so.
As a result of this, his nervous system must work extremely hard.
Despite Cz being an automaton and possessing no heartbeat, she still emitted the sound of cogs and gears slowly turning inside of her which mimic a ticking heartbeat. A mechanical sound which, although she wears noise concealing clothing is difficult to silence.
Bet she's over here
Aha! I see her!
Adel does not necessarily "see" her, his instincts can detect the vibrations emitted by Cz, make out her figure. While he can see her, she is more or less a featureless outline which is entirely red (Just like when we use instinct in hitman absolution).
Adel crouches and slowly approaches Cz like a hunter slowly moving towards its prey.
Just as he is about to knock her out a worried voice fills his head
" Adel where are you?! I saw you shoot something out of your finger then both yourself and the Pleiades disappeared. " His father asked.
"I—I'm currently in battle with the maids father…"
"Oh dear, I had a feeling it would end up like this" Ainz sighed tiredly.
"No! I—It was my foolish mistakes father! I forgot that I had made cyanide last night and unfortunately Nfirea may have drank it…"
"Umu. Indeed I saw that as I watched through the remote viewing mirror. "
"I—I'm sorry, father" Adel said in a small voice.
"Seeing as that this is your first mistake it can be forgiven however I ask that you ensure that it does not happen again"
"Of course! I will strive to improve where I have failed father" Adel replied resolutely.
At first Ainz was worried that he would lose a valuable resource as he watched Nfirea on the ground however after his son had healed him he was calmed as Adel can use healing magic, high tier at that.
"Couldn't you order them to stop father?" Adel asked.
"That's why I'm calling you but it seems my ability to communicate with them is being interfered with."
"Ohhh"Adel blushes in embarrassment
"Unfortunately father I believe that may be a result of the skill I have used…" Adel trails off before briefly describing the [Place transportation] skill to ainz
"If I transport us back you would be able to tell them to stop wouldn't you father?"
"Yes, but I don't intend on doing such a thing. Return to Nazarick and I'll explain"
"Understood."
Adel disables the skill and teleports back to Nazarick.
—Back at Carne Village—
Cautiously stepping into the messy room, Cz carefully takes in every detail. Stacks of paper scattered all across the room, each being a mural of mathematical equations and presenting more number's and symbols than there would be stars in the night sky. While the room itself appeared to be the same as any other office room, the large amount of white sheets made it seem like a winter wonderland and very difficult to search for anything out of the ordinary.
Apparently looking for traps was easier than this according to her big sister.
"Ahhhhh! I never thought the office would be this messy!" Her red-haired companion wailed, punching a hole in one of the wooden walls as a means to release her frustrations with a loud bang.
"Weren't you in charge of keeping an eye on this guy Lupu-chan" Entoma commented
"Yeah…" Lupusregina exhaled deeply, running her dark skinned hand through her fiery hair and picking out some of the stray splinters.
Despite her sisters antics, Cz was determined to find any clues as to who their attacker was.
" . . " Cz asked
"I don't know just keep looking." Lupusregina replied in a strained voice
"Hmmm" Entoma chimed in
"Considering how dangerous this guy is, maybe we should send this stuff back so Demiurge-sama or Albedo-sama can decipher it."
While that would be the most logical decision, Lupusregina couldn't consider that as an option given how her hatred only seemed to grow with each problem she was presented with.
"Burn it" she muttered
"What" both Cz and Entoma replied in disbelief
"I said, burn all of it." Their older sister replied in a sharp venomous voice that was tipped with unrivalled rage. As she turned from the disheveled scene to her little sisters, her piercing gaze gave no room to refuse her decision.
While neither could understand her reasoning, they didn't dare question their big sister as her golden eyes bore into them. Instead, Cz began to ready magical talismans around the room whereas Entoma sought out the villagers and asked them to bring anything related to the suited assailant to the office where they were to be destroyed.
As the last items were deposited, Lupusregina snapped her fingers and with a roar, the office went up in flames. While the many tongues of fire that arose from the burning building cast shadows that danced on her face, a perverted grin slowly etched itself onto her face, seemingly bathing in the destruction it had wrought and the suffering that was to continue…
