[Haruka's POV]

"Hihihihi! Aura, you look so cute in this uniform!!"

"M-mommy... W-Why do I have to wear this? I-It's too shameful..."

"Mother always dresses us in the best things, Mare! Don't complain so much!"

I laughed, having a lot of fun with it.

I was inside the big tree on the 6th Floor, the home of my two children. In front of me was Mare, my dear and adorable little doll, super cute! He was dressed in one of the Idol uniforms I made him wear before the whole situation happened.

It was a white uniform with dark green and gold accents, having a mini skirt that covered up to half of the thighs, gloves and long socks that were completely white and pure, greenish flats, and a tiara containing an emerald. I can't forget the most eye-catching thing about that outfit, a big green and gold ribbon that was on the right side of his waist.

Oh my god! This outfit so cute and shimmering makes me want to squeeze and bite his elf cheek for hours!!

"You're so cute... It reminds me of that old time... Do you remember that?" I asked, curious to know if they had memories related to when I used them as extras in my shows.

To my surprise and happiness, I saw both of them nodding in agreement. Oh my god, they did it at the same time!! HOW CUTE!!

"M-momm-my, you always asked us to d-dance some songs with you..." Mare said, hiding his face.

"Yes, and father was always playing some instrument or holding some kind of black box... but I still don't get it... Why did we do that?" Aura asked curiously and looking directly at me.

Remembering Keiko wasn't usually a good thing, but these memories of the concerts and live streams were the cutest and most fun we had together. It even gave a nostalgic feeling...

Oh wait.. I can make it even more nostalgic...

"I'll talk, but only if you put on your uniform too~"

My sentence made my lovely Aura blush completely, she was clearly embarrassed to wear it in the same way as her brother, but she didn't complain and soon got dressed in front of me. The uniform was very similar to Mare's, with the difference that the large ribbon was on the left side, and everything that was green on him was red on her.

But before I could speak, I noticed someone knocking on the main door of the tree. It made me move closer and open up, revealing that idiotic, perveted vampire created by my brother.

"What do you want here, Shalltear?" I asked, as she had interrupted my moment.

She seemed to bow before speaking. "Great Bukubuku-sama, Demiurge asked me to call you up to the 9th Floor. From what I understand, Ulbert-sama has found a human who may be of interest to the Supreme Beings, and he is allowing it here in Nazarick."

"A human? Describe it."

"He seems to be a boy with blue clothes and blonde hair... according to Demiurge, Ulbert-sama called this visitor an 'incredible guest'... I, on the other hand, could not understand what an inferior being like that could have to be called 'incredible'..."

". . . Tell them I won't be there. I've got better things to do!"

"Yes, mom has better things to do now!" Aura spoke loudly behind me, making Shalltear notice her uniform.

The idiot vampire started laughing at that, while I, changing into a humanoid slime form, stared at her. "Are you laughing at the outfit that I, a Supreme Being, made and chose for my children?" Both my sentence and my tone of voice ended up making that vampire shut up, bowing as if begging for forgiveness for having laughed at it. I kept quiet, making that idiot vampire break out in a cold sweat and slowly come out of the tree.

I could feel that she even pissed in fear while running away.

"Argh... What an idiot... She can't read the situation unless we write it down for her..."

"Heh, in this case, she's pretty similar to my brother." I said with a slight laugh. "By the looks of it, that stupid guy injected some of his idiocy into her." We both laughed as Mare stayed there, sitting on the bed in a super well-behaved way.

"Okay, back to the subject from before..." I returned to where we were, sitting down in a small chair that was there.

"I'll explain to you... your mommy here worked with things related to give life to beings manufactured with my own voice~ Your dad realized that this job was wearing me out too much, so he helped me to be a celebrity~ the 'black box' was an item he had, which allowed all my fans to see and hear me. You were practically there as my assistants~" Their swarthy faces seemed almost pale, with their cheeks and ears mega reddened.

"I...wait... that is... That every time we were dancing... were we also being seen and interacting with other beings outside of Nazarick?" Aura asked, trembling a little, while Mare fell silent.

"Hehehehe. Yes~ We even recorded some of the shows we did together~" They were both shaking with embarrassment, while I started laughing a lot.

Oh my, it's so fun to tease them.~

That time was super fun, talking, playing and teasing those two little elves had become my favorite daily task. Ever since they became real, that's pretty much the only thing I've been doing all the day.

"Mother! Mother!" Two voices came up near where I stood, with a very familiar face rising from the wall, it was my dear poltergeist. "Mother! Everyone is calling you for dinner on the 9th Floor. They said it was special and that both you and we should be there."

"Hm..." I was thoughtful, after all, being a slime, the amount of food I needed was very small, and I could eat even tree branches and feel refreshed. However, since my three darlings would go there too...

"Okay! I stood up and used my special ring to create a portal, which the four of us walked through.

Arriving on the other side, we were in front of a table full of food, there were hamburgers, pancakes, roast meat, and even what appeared to be a cake with pieces of fruit exposed. Seated at the table were all the members present... And someone else?

He was a boy with long blond hair, shirtless, with several symbols tattooed on his body, which by the way seemed to be a strong one... Looking closely at him, I noticed a look that seemed to penetrate my body the moment he noticed my presence, giving a kind of mocking smile.

Wait a minute...

"W-What does a human do here?! And why didn't anyone warn me to wear a disguise?! AND WHY AREN'T YOU WEARING DISGUISES?!?" Those were the first things I could say.

They stared at me for a few seconds and then started laughing like crazy! Even that guest did the same!!

"HAHAHAHAHA! Relax Haru! This one is an important and amazing person! I don't think any disguise of ours would work against him!"

"Yep! HAHAHA! And to think that you would be in shock just because a human is seeing our true form! How hilarious!"

"O-of course my concern makes sense! Did you see that idiot we captured?! It is comparable to a maximum of level 12! On top of that, the 'most powerful beings' he had access to was an Archangel Flame! It's child's play to kill that!!" I tried to make excuses for the mini panic I had. "So of course beings like us would scare anyone!"

"No, the folks at Slane Theocracy are really a bunch of crazies who focus more on the power of an item than the power of the person themselves..." The young man said getting up and then approaching me and my children. "I mean... There are powerful people with them, but it's an extremely small amount... Anyway... You're Haruka Aoki, but you'd rather be called Bukubukuchagama recently, wouldn't you?"

His words made me a little distressed, someone gave him my real name??? BUT WHY?!? ARE THEY STUPID ENOUGH TO SAY THEIR NAMES SO EASILY?!

"H-Haruka?" Mare questioned, still standing by my side.

"It's her name from before she became a member of the Ainz Ooal Gown." Said the young man, now bending down a little to be at my son's height. "You're so... Adorable, especially in this cute uniform. You must be Mare Bello Fiore, aren't you?"

Eh?! Does he already know his name too?!

"And with this logic... You, young lady, must be Aura Bella Fiore, did I get it right?"

"Hm... Yes, but what's important to know about it?" Aura questioned, seeming not to care about the man, as she sat down in a chair, grabbing a burger that was on the table.

"Well, that's pretty serious information, since no one is supposed to know but us... This includes your mother's old name, as only we, the Supreme Beings, have access to that." That idiot brain eater began to explain.

"Then how does he know that?" Mare questioned quite a bit of confusion, when suddenly, not only his eyes, but mine and my daughters' eyes also widened.

That tattooed boy placed a large katana on the table with the blade painted red and blue. The item seemed to vibrate gently, giving a tense sensation that I could feel, but it didn't seem to affect me due to some passive protection ability I had.

That didn't change the fact that I felt something more about it...

He knows our names...

He seems to be relaxed, even with our appearances...

And he's got that katana...

I ended up not being able to stand it!!

My body instinctively returned to an amorphous form and jumped against him, enveloping him with my whole being!

It was like a tight hug, I wrapped him all up! I don't want him to go away! I don't want this to be some mistake!

"KEIKY!!" I exclaimed loudly, my imaginary tears streaming down my entire body.

He was here!! He's with me!!

I have my adorable kids! I've got my love back!!

I am the happiest woman in the worl-

"Haruka! You're suffocating him! Release it!!" The voice of the knight of justice made me wake up from my thoughts.

I had actually swallowed him, his body was floating inside my body, it wasn't being dissolved, but he seemed to be getting short of breath. Quickly, I let go of him, causing him to fall to the ground, completely honeyed with my pink slime liquids.

I'M SUCH AN IDIOT!! I ALMOST LOST HIM AGAIN!!

"Aaah... I'm fine! I'm fine!" He said as he stood up slowly, coughing up some of the slime that had entered his mouth and nostrils. "Argh... I've been attacked by slimes before... But that was pretty intense... I mean... They're slow and it would take them 10 minutes with my body standing still to do that damage..."

"So there are slimes in this new world too? Good to know..." I could hear Ulbert commenting as he annotated on a holographic page.

"I'm really sorry! I didn't want to do that! I was just so happy and wanted to hug you!!" I tried to explain myself, but he just laughed and nodded, causing me to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Eh?" The joint voice that did this was from my dear children, I watched them, the three of them were extremely confused.

"Mommy... apologizing to an inferior being...?"

"No! Don't call him inferior!" I was soon correcting my beautiful dark elf femboy. "And don't treat him like that either!" I pointed to Aura and Mary.

"You called him Keiky, mother. Is he an acquaintance of the Supreme Beings?" Mary questioned soon after.

"Ohohoho! He is much more than an acquaintance, he was also part of our group!" Tabula spoke as he picked up a plate of roast meat. "I think he'd better introduce himself properly to the three of you."

The look on my children's faces became one of extreme confusion. Maybe it's because of the way NPCs think about guild members... This makes them unable to connect the dots so easily, since we are seen as deities to them...

Keiko stood up, grinning widely. "You Nazarick NPCs should know me better as Hikari, Nazarick's Only Human!"

They seemed to be extremely paralyzed by this revelation, the ghost being the only one to move, standing in front of him and soon seemed to pass through his body as if it were nothing. Her dead gaze became full of life, staring at him.

"Ush! What a cold feeling!! Don't cross my body so casually!" He exclaimed, giving a glimpse of his body shaking.

"Father..." The ghost said in a doubled voice as she floated around him, as if she were in an orbit.

"I-Is this serious?" Mare asked as she stood up and walked over to the man, who just laughed and nodded.

"Oh my god!! But how could that be possible?! Our father died in the great incident of the Absolute Guild War!" Aura was the one who exclaimed, dropping the burger she had in her hand.

"Heh... Reincarnation exists, in a way... I think it was pure luck to be here with you..." He said, quickly watching me. "I can give a short or long summary while we have dinner."

"Short, but without leaving out the important parts." I replied, finally sitting down in my chair.

We started chatting as we ate, it was hilarious to see his expression mold with each bite, as if the food was so good it was hard to stay serious while talking. But the things he said, little by little, became very tense and confusing to understand...

He had memories from his whole life, from when he was a baby, which was already bizarre to think about, but he also had memories about what it was like after death...

Dark, pure darkness, the non-existent perception of time. The sheer agony of being in emptiness...

It's torturous the way he described it so casually, as if it was normal... At least the other parts of the story seemed more normal and simple to think about.

"This... It was intense... You didn't tell us about that initial part."

"I'm sorry, Akaty. I ended up not mentioning it because there was no point in talking about it when more people were going to show up. I hate repeating myself over and over again with the same people, you all know that." His words reminded me of all the little parties we had... He never really said anything of great importance to a few people.

"Anyway..." He yawned, looking like he had a full belly. "I think I'll go back to that village. My sister and mentor must be worried waiting for me for nothing... And if I'm right, in a few hours it will be dawn."

"Are you sure you don't want to stay here, Dad?" Mary asked, her eyes big and fluffy.

Unlike Aura and Mare, Mary seems to have absolutely trusted that this was Keiko, or in this case, Hikari. However, my little dark elves were still suspicious, Mare was expressionless about it, while Aura seemed to observe him as someone inferior by the way she spoke and gestured to him throughout the conversation at dinner.

I'll have to punish them later... But do they really deserve it? YES!! They deserve it! If one of their sisters says something and even my friends and I agree, there's no reason for them to be in doubt!

"I've been out there for a lifetime, plus I'm very important in my group, so being missing like this can cause a lot of problems..." He sighed and soon observed me closely. "I can show up tomorrow... From what I understand, Momonga is undercover as a rookie adventurer and is going to do a mission related to going to that village, isn't he?"

"Yes... While he doesn't arrive, you keep coming here at night with the excuse that you're looking for the 'group of heroes' or something, and then when he arrives for real and finishes his little mission. Then we can show up and start acting a lot." Tabula was the one to say it and it seemed that Touch and Ulbert accepted that too, I felt annoyed, but I also decided to accept that idea.

So we left him at the entrance of the dungeon so he could walk to that village...

I hope to make the most of this second chance...

[3rd Person POV]

_._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._

"Ah... This place is really interesting..." Said the Overlord, who was now lying on a simple bed while wearing a large black armor that covers his entire body. "And to think that we'd end up meeting someone like that kid around here on our first journey..."

The skeleton referred to Nfirea, a boy who had made a request so that he could be escorted towards Carne Village. The human was impressive, due to an ability that Momonga was able to identify while talking to people around, the human seemed to have the passive power to use any equipment, unaffected by the restriction of the same. Something that even YGGDRASIL players would dream of having, since it was very expensive and laborious to do something like this, and even then, it would be impossible to access ALL requirements of any of the items.

"Momonga-sama... I don't understand why he didn't attack an insect with such power." Said the woman who was standing next to him, looking at the skeleton. This was Narberal Gamma, a Doppleganger, more specifically one of the Pleiades, at this moment being in super simple clothes that made her look like a mage of peasant origin, using "Nabe" as a false name.

"I've already told you to call me Momon when we're undercover, no matter if it looks like we're alone or not." He said with a sigh, even though he had no lungs. "And we're here as simple adventurers, disguising ourselves as humans, I even used illusion magic to create a human face when I was asked to take off my helmet."

"But to answer you correctly... It looks interesting, plus it has some connection to the village that Touch and I saved... Which makes it so that maybe we can have him as an ally without really forcing him into anything." He realized that the doppleganger didn't understand what he meant, due to the blanker-than-usual expression, causing him to have to find another explanation. "Humans work and are much more productive when they do something by sheer choice and not because they're being forced... Sure, we could push someone, but if there's a chance for them to do it themselves, it's a lot more efficient." Her expression changed almost imperceptibly, nodding her head in agreement.

It took a few minutes without anyone saying anything, with Momonga trying to sleep, while Narberal was just polishing her master's sword, until they finally got into another matter. "Nabe, tell me your opinion on the information we received this afternoon, in relation to the report we received from Nazarick. What do you think?"

"I find it astonishing that there is any human who has managed to enter Nazarick and receive the sympathy of the other Supreme Beings... Momon-sama, do you have any other information than what I hear?" Narberial said non-stop her work of polishing the items.

"Hm..." The skeleton was uncomfortable with her calling him '-Sama', but he still had to get used to his new life. "I haven't been told a big deal, only that I'd love to meet this guy, and that we're lucky we're going to Carne Village on this first mission as adventurers..."

The thoughts of Momonga, or more specifically, Suzuki Satoru, were floating around in countless alternatives. He had already been inside that body for a few weeks already, and had to adapt to the point of view of all the subordinates, the NPCs. They were all heteromorphs, with one or the other who was considered "Human" by the game system, but not by the actual situation. They were full of ego, related to superiority, not just of his creators, but of Nazarick as a whole. There was also the problem they faced, related to groups of humans having access to YGGDRASIL items and summons, and the fact that the only ones they've seen so far, were definitely of bad character.

But, for now there to be a new human emerging, catching the interest of his player friends, and not showing any negative response, even if everyone there is heteromorphic?? The situation itself already made the skeleton mega curious, so meeting this person was perhaps a highlight for the beginning of the whole adventure.

'But why didn't they tell me anything more than that?' It was one of Suzuki's thoughts the most. Was it some stunning surprise? Unfortunately, with everything that had already been through in a short time, the answer to this question could be absolutely anything.

And so the night passed, allowing the 'newbie adventurer' to observe the sun's rays while a group was waiting for him. The escort mission would not be done only by him, besides him and Nabe, there was a silver rank group, composed of 4 adventurers, known as the Swords of Darkness.

Originally, that group and Momon were going to venture together on a monster-hunting mission, however, due to a slight problem that led to the young Nfireia's interest, now the situation had changed, with them escorting the boy, while also subduing monsters along the way. The use would be absolute, since the mission of killing monsters would be done in that same passage as they would go. To avoid further problems, Momon and Nabe would earn 75% of the total escort reward, while Sword of Darkness would earn 25%. On the other hand, the group of adventurers would earn 80% of the subjugation reward, while the two 'newbies' would earn the other 20%.

"Oh... Did you sleep well, Mr. Momon, Miss Nabe?" Said one of the members of the Sword of Darkness, he was a very robust man with blond hair and looked like some kind of powerful barbarian, but in fact this was a lie, as he was just a kind and friendly druid.

"Good morning, Dyne... And yes, we slept well, the beds here were much better than the sheet beds we usually make when we travel." Momon lied when talking to the druid, just following the roleplay of his disguise, like a strong old guy who decided, well after expected, to enter the life of an adventurer.

Nabe didn't answer, causing the group's Ranger to chuckle slightly and try to call her. "Come here with me, Miss Nabe, a woman like you should be sitting and not standing." The man was very thin, blond, wearing leather armor and trying to flirt with the 'newbie'.

Obviously, his goal was flawed, with her expression not even changing, making some, even Nfirea, frown at the pseudo-womanizer. "Lukrut, better stop this, since yesterday, in the mission room, it's obvious that she doesn't like it."

"Well, she's not even reacting, meaning she may or may not have liked it and we don't even know!" The ranger, Lukrut, said this as he sat in the wagon they were going to use to go to Carne Village.

"I thought it was repulsive." Nabe spoke at the very moment she got into the wagon with Momon, that answer was so direct and dry, that everyone could hear the imaginary noise of Lukrut's heart breaking, as if it were the most fragile glass in the world.

"I told you to stop it..." Ninya was the person to say that, he was a spellcaster with very short brown hair who, if it weren't for the way he talked, would think he was still a child, due to his soft face and pale skin.

"No more idle talk, we do this in the middle of the trip." Spoke, the last member of the Sword of Darkness, the leader of the group to be exact, another blond man, named Peter, besides being the leader, he was the swordsman of the quartet. "Nfirea, have you taken everything you're going to take? Basically, we always have our wagon ready the day before."

That young man, an alchemist, nodded his head to the question, carrying a bag full of flasks, basic instruments, and other empty bags in case he needed more of them. In this way, their journey began, going all out in the direction of Carne Village, with a few stops when they saw monsters, in order to destroy them, which was made easy by the presence of Momon and Nabe.

_._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._

_._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._

"Master Letyan, please, I've already told you, it won't be problem for us to train together a little far from the village, you yourself say that it's better to always have weapons in hand than relaxed." One of the guards, that were always close to the Baraja brothers, said, while the other two nodded intensely.

"I know, the problem is with Kelart, you know very well that she mess with me every time the three of you get away from the main group, even if me or Neh are watching you." Said the young spellcaster, who would only be brushing his long blond hair.

They were now in one of the houses, which had been abandoned in Carne Village, after the strange attacks that took place. Neia was serving breakfast for her and the guards, as her brother had eaten something earlier, along with Kelart and her personal guards, in a separate hut.

"Well, girls... This is really going to be a slight problem... Last time she took advantage of the fact that you caused an uproar, so that my brother had to do some favors and clear your names." Neia said that, putting the guards' plates in front of them. "Or are they going to tell me you forgot?"

"We just need to don't take off our helmets and our cloaks." One of the guards said, in a smiling voice.

"You said that last time... Hm... But maybe I'll allow you to do that if we train in a slightly remote area. Now the problem itself is letting that annoying old woman get the idea... After all, we are in a village that was almost destroyed and was lucky to have people nearby. The chances of bumping into someone are extremely low, but not zero." The boy said that while stealing a loaf of bread from his sister's plate and taking a light bite.

"Hey!!" The older sister complained, but soon received the rest of the bread in her mouth, leaving her silent.

That kind of situation was quite normal between them when they were alone, in a more casual and simple moment, with no one but them. The guards just stood there, quiet and eating breakfast, until one of them started shaking her head strangely.

"Master Letyan, Master Neia, I'm with that problem..." the one, who was a little agitated, said, while the other two next to her seemed uncomfortable with something as well.

The boy looked around, seeing that there were no windows open, so he just went to the door and closed it as well, now making sure no one was seeing them. At this moment, he went to that guard and took off the cloak and helmet that was underneath, thus revealing a large pair of ears that were not human at all.

Not only the one in particular, but the other two were also demihumans, more specifically, two had wolf-like characteristics, while the last one had characteristics more of a fox. This was why Kelart never allowed those three out of her sight, even though they were personal guards of the Baraja brothers, they were from a race that was at war with Roble Holy Kingdom. Aside from Kelart and the Baraja, only their queen, Calca Bessarez, knew about the existence of this secret.

But why were the three demihumans with them?.... That was a complicated story...

"You're really lucky that we found an empty house in this village to stay in..." Neia was talking as she finished her coffee, just watching her younger brother cleaning the fuzzy ears of one of the demihumans, using a light and soft cloth.

"Is it better this way, Raven?" He asked finishing helping the black wolf, in response, she gave her master a big hug, and he just headpatted her.

During that moment in the morning, a few thoughts flowed through the boy's mind, causing him to have a soft smile. Unfortunately, the three demihumans weren't used to seeing that, as that smile was scary and intimidating in the eyes of others, it made them tremble a little.

"I think I know of a place where we can do a light workout without worrying about you being seen..." He said, now watching his sister. "Neh, yesterday during my meditation, I found an area that is basically an arena covered in extremely dense trees. From what I've seen, the only way anyone can get in there is by climbing the trees..."

"Hmm..." Neia took her sword from under the table. "So it would be easy to see if we are being watched by the people of the village or not... Perfect... Mom keeps complaining about you always exploring places without the permission of others... I see that as an advantage." The brothers were just smiling pleasantly, but it was still too scary for anyone who saw it without knowing the context.

It wasn't long before they were able to leave the village, and they were forced to talk to Kelart so that there wouldn't be so much trouble when they found out the five "paladins" were missing. They just said they were going to walk around to exercise their legs, an excuse that fit like a glove, since the Baraja's father, Pabel, was known to always put his children in extensive training, on a regular basis.

Letyan led his older sister and the three demihumans to a dense set of trees, which seemed to prevent the passage of any kind of animal. The boy had to use wind spells to lift them all to the top of the trees and, after walking very carefully along that path of branches, finally reach a kind of large clearing.

"Woah!!" The werewolves were surprised by the size of the flat, grass-filled area.

"This... it looks too perfect... How come the village next door didn't use such a place to put even a woodcutter's house?" The kitsune asked, leaping down from the great trees, the werewolves followed.

"Maybe they think this is just an extremely dense forest and not something like that..." Neia said, being carried by her younger brother so that she could land on the lawn safely.

"Anyway, who's going to want to train first and with whom? I was thinking of letting the three of you have fun while me and Neh just watched you." Letyan quickly commented as he lay down on the ground, using his own cloak to get comfortable there.

"I'd like to train with you, young master." Said the Kitsune.

"Okay, Junko... Come on... The training will be the same as always. I'm not going to attack directly, but you have to try to hit me." The boy said standing up, leaving the cloak there on the floor and taking off his shirt, leaving his numerous tattoos exposed. "Ready?"

The orange-furred Kitsune just removed her disguise, throwing it to the others to keep, remaining only with her simple clothes that she had underneath the armor and with a sword, which she kept holding by the mouth as she positioned herself to advance. With a soft laugh from her master, she moved forward directly, walking wildly with her legs and arms propelling her.

He decided to be almost hit when, at the last second, he made a smooth, almost superhuman movement, dodging the charge by spinning on his own axis. So, they were both doing that training, the demihuman trying to attack with her claws, sword and her 3 tails, while the human kept dodging, rarely using his sigils to cast spells that served mainly as obstacles. The two werewolves watched the scene happen, seeming hyper concentrated, and Neia sat there, combing the hair of one of them.

But it wasn't just those 3 girls watching the workout...

In the distance, hidden due to an illusion magic, were 3 NPCs from Nazarick, Demiurge, Lupusregina and Aura. They were there with the main goal of leaving the entrance to the great tomb hidden, but as a secondary goal, they wanted to see the boy that the Supreme Beings believed to be Hikari. There were still doubts in their minds about the veracity of this information, but since their own creators said that, they had nothing to do but see it as a higher truth.

"Those girls with him... Who would they be? I couldn't imagine Hikari-sama being around any other women besides Bukubukuchagama-sama." Demiurge was the one to ask, quite curious as he cleaned his glasses, revealing his eyes made of pure diamonds.

"Hmmm... From what I understand from the conversation he had with our mother... He was having a whole new life here before we arrived..." Aura was the one to respond, making the demon and the maid interested in the situation.

"That really sounds like a great thing to figure out..." Lupus commented, walking towards them, but was soon grabbed in her clothes by Demiurge.

"What do you think you're doing?"

"Going to see them up close... I believe that these women are Hikari-sama's servants, so why be afraid?"

Demiurge heard that comment and soon began to reason more and more about that logic. Only the boy knew where the guild was, and he brought with him a group of women. There was a possibility that the Lost Supreme Being wanted to show his servants to Nazarick. "It makes sense... Possibly he wanted to demonstrate the dominance he had while he was not present with us."

Before Aura could even question that slightly strange logic, the three of them realized that they had been discovered. Junko seemed to have stopped training with her master, while pointing in the direction of the NPCs.

'How did an inferior being manage to detect us?' That's what Demiurge thought, until he remembered the logic his creator, Ulbert, had taught him. About never underestimating the beings around them, until their true strengths are shown.

He felt like a fool for forgetting these words of wisdom for a moment.

Letyan decided to go alone to see what Junko had felt, but the kitsune didn't seem to want to let go of him. The situation was a bit out of the boy's control, as he didn't expect the NPCs to be there, so it turned out to be inevitable.

"Eh?! Were there other people here?!" Neia was the first to exclaim, quickly putting the helmets on the demihumans, but Letyan stopped her.

Taking a long sigh, he began to say, after the Nazarick Citizens were exposed. "Don't worry, Neh... These guys are with the group we're looking for."

"Wait, have you found the group that saved this village?! But why didn't you tell Kelart right away?!"

"It's complicated... but the idea was for me to take her here tonight or tomorrow morning..." The boy scratched behind the back of his neck, uncomfortable. "Anyway... Uh... These are the servants of the group... Their names are Demiurge, Aura, and.... Lupus, if I'm not mistaken..."

"You are completely correct, Hikari-sama! And I assume that these ladies next to you are your servants, aren't they?" Demiurge spoke grandly, but this confused everyone, while Letyan just facepalmed.

"Hikari?" "Servants?" These were the questions that arose from the girls.

"For the gods... Demiurge, they are not my servants... And I thought the others had told you to call me by my current name..." Letyan said that, disappointed, but it only added to the confusion of the girls who were with him.

"Current name?" Neia asked, her voice showing how lost she was in the subject.

It took a while for things to be explained to the four of them, they were still confused, but they seemed to understand the context a little better. Letyan had made a slight lie so that the situation would be less complicated than it already was. He had said that the special katana had actually come from that group, but that it had chosen him because his soul was similar to the original owner's soul, and, because of the way the katana worked, he had received the memories of that person. The reason the three of them called him "Hikari" was because that was the name of the original owner.

As for the explanation to give to the NPCs...

"They are not my servants... argh... I'll introduce you all to each other in an easier way..." He said, giving a slight cough to clear his throat. "This one is Neia, she's my biological older sister... and these three here are Junko, Raven and Kathleen, they are demihumans that we saved from an illegal scheme that was going on in our kingdom, they call me master just out of habit, but we actually consider them to be friends."

Soon, he turned to the girls, thus explaining now about the NPCs there. "I've already said their name, but not what they are... Demiurge is the son of one of Hikari's friends, his job is to be a strategist and the guardian of one of the floors of the dungeon they use as a base. This is Lupusregina, she's one of the maids at the base, and she also works as a bodyguard and battle priest."

"And this one..." He said now pointing to Aura, trying to think of what to say so as not to look too awkward. "It's Aura Bella Fiore, she's a dark elf and Hikari's daughter, she's a beast tamer and guardian of another of the dungeon's floors."

"Is this dark elf the daughter of this Hikari guy? But you said you got his memories when you got the cursed sword, didn't you?" Junko questioned.

"Yes... It's weird for me too, but theoretically I'm her father if you take into account my mental state..." He shook his head as he said that.

"So they're the sister and friends of our Hikari-sama...? Understand... In that case, you're welcome to come into our dungeon, if Hikari-sama agrees with that, of course!" Demiurge was the one to say, sounding very interested and positive about what happened.

"Actually, it would be nice for us to have a say in that, wouldn't it?" The voice ended up startling everyone, even the NPCs, who knew very well who the person was before they turned around.

Behind them, Bukubuku and Ulbert had emerged through a portal, but at least they were wearing disguises to appear more human. Ulbert remained wearing his normal uniform, but it was tightly closed and long so that nothing about his demonic part would be exposed. While Bukubuku had used her slime polymorphism, to look like a more mature version of the body she had on Earth, with the glaring difference that her hair was pink and not black.

The three demihumans seemed to be preparing to attack with their claws, while Neia was picking up the sword that was at her waist, without removing it from its scabbard, but it seems that they calmed down a bit, as she heard the boy talking to them.

"Guys... Don't arrive like that suddenly, you might end up scaring others..." Letyan commented, before Bukubuku moved closer to him and immediately observed the girls there.

"We were seeing the whole situation actually... And we're just pissed off at those two idiots over there having ruined it by trying to get close to you." The slime pointed in the direction of Demiurge and Lupus, the two of whom were surprised by the way they were described.

"I agree... my son, I know your abilities are incredible, but apparently, the slight movement you made out of the illusory barrier, even if it was to pull Lupus, was enough for your energy to be exposed and that fox to notice you... You should be ashamed that you're not hiding your own aura at times like these." Ulbert made that comment, leaving the red-suit demon incredulous, but soon the player noticed the kitsune. "And you, it really struck me that someone from Letyan's group could see a difference in ambient mana, even for a second."

"Thank you....?" Junko was confused by that quality.

"So... You are part of the group that helped the nearby village... And also the same group from which the cursed sword came?" Neia was the next to speak, making the two players there nod.

"Yes... As your brother said, he had already met us yesterday and we interacted a bit... The idea was to introduce ourselves when one of our own returned..."

"And since he's the official leader of our group, it would clearly be bizarre for us to have a conversation with a superior from another kingdom, without him present..." Ulbert completed his friend's words. "By the way... My name is Ulbert Alain Odle, it's a pleasure to meet people who were in our friend's life while he was... asleep, we might say..."

"And my name is Bukubukuchagama... but you can call me Bukubuku. I'm the person with the Tank role in our group" She said as she got closer to Neia, the girl moved a few steps away. "You..." She held her hands gently. "Thank you so much for being with him... Seriously, I'm glad that someone like you is a trustworthy person for our friend... even if what is there are parts and not the whole."

"Thank you...?" Neia responded confused by the situation, causing Letyan and Ulbert to laugh slightly, as she almost copied the way the kitsune responded before.

"Anyway, would you like to come into our house for a bite to eat? Or maybe to train?" Ulbert was the one to give the options. "After all, you came here in a slightly remote area so that the demihumans could train without any problems, didn't you?"

"Yes! We even have a kind of huge indoor garden, and a room for indoor training. Of course, if they want to do that." Bukubuku continued.

The eldest of the Baraja children watched her younger brother, as if she wanted him to answer, but he just giggled, he was fine if he was going to train inside or outside, so the decision should be hers. "We can come in... but from what Letty said, your base is a dungeon, isn't it?" She finally answered, looking slightly uncomfortable.

"Yes, it's a very complex situation to explain, but to answer directly, we had a lot of very powerful members, with them, we took over a dungeon and decided to make it our home, but we still improved the traps and dangers, a way to protect the floors that we officially use as a true base." Ulbert said, pointing to the portal still open. "If we get through this, we'll go straight to a safe floor."

"Using a hostile environment as a safety gate to one's own base with powerful beings... That's very clever, but I don't see it being used constantly." Raven gave her opinion as she approached the portal.

"Well, it's because you have to be more powerful than the traps themselves so that you don't succumb to what is supposed to protect you..." Letyan answered the obvious and entered the portal without delay, causing the demihumans to follow him.

Neia seemed very uncomfortable with the idea of suddenly being invited to enter the place they were looking for, especially with the conversations they had made before. Meanwhile, the NPCs and Ulbert followed behind the others, but the pink slime noticed how the girl felt and smiled in a friendly way.

"If you want, I can take you to a great place, from what your brother said, I think you would love to see the 'gardens' that my colleague mentioned. But I warn you, not to get away from me, okay?"

Neia could see how worried the pink-haired woman seemed about the way things were unfolding, but what else did she have to lose? Her younger brother and the people she considers her best friends had already entered through the portal. So, she ended up getting in there as well.

_._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._

_._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._

"Warrior Momon! That was incredible!!!"

"I agree, you managed to destroy those low ogres so easily... Are you really not some bounty hunter in disguise?" Ninya commented on that, causing one of the companions to cover her mouth with his hand.

"Don't worry, this comment doesn't affect me. And no, I'm just a man who ventured too much without being registered as an adventurer." Momon said that while watching Nabe cleaning his sword, which was very dirty with blood.

The adventurers were still in that wagon, traveling together and talking a lot about recent events. Apparently, they had been ambushed around 3 times by some monsters that decided to emerge from within the forest that was always close to the road. It was a happy time for someone like them, as they managed to face something like this and continue their journey almost uninterrupted, allowing them to approach Carne Village in record time.

There were already signs of dusk in the sky, and according to the contractor himself, Nfirea, they could be much closer to their destination than expected. This made the boy bow to the adventurer Momon, because without him, they would possibly have to camp during the trip.

And as predicted by the new circumstances, the village could be seen in the distance. However, there was something that surprised the contractor. "I didn't know they were putting up wooden walls around it..."

"What do you mean by that, Mr. Bareare?" Ninya questioned.

"The last time I came here, they didn't have that, and I also never imagined seeing them closing themselves off like that..." he replied, still confused by the landscape he saw.

"I don't know if this information is of much help... But I heard of some villages that were attacked by bandits, maybe they were preparing for the worst?" Momon made that comment, filling their minds with knowledge. Apparently none of them knew about the attacks that took place.

'The rumors had reached Gazef's ears, but not those of the nearest town? Maybe it was some confidential information so as not to cause panic...' Suzuki thought that, just observing and continuing to act.

"Ooh! What is that?" Peter exclaimed, pointing in a direction, where some very strange things could be seen.

The first was the existence of two tents close to the entrance, it seemed to be something done professionally, but temporary, there was even a fire nearby and what seemed to be some horses and people in armor talking. The second strange thing were small, greenish beings also close to the entrance, they seemed to be standing there, with some kind of spears, with the way they behaved reminiscent of a guard doing his job. The two groups seemed to stare at the carriage the adventurers were riding in, as if they were analyzing it to see if they were a source of trouble.

Momonga seemed very confused when he saw that kind of scene, after all, he remembers what the armor of those who previously invaded that village looked like. And those goblins, did that mean that girl he met a month ago had used at least one of the items? Apparently a lot of things happened without him even knowing, maybe even his friends already knew and decided not to tell him?

"Hold on!" One of the goblins said as the carriage got even closer. "What would be your motivations for coming to this village?"

Everyone seemed in shock to see that situation, a monster talking as if it was a human?! This was unthinkable for them.

So, for the goblin be left with an answer, Momon was the one to speak. "Good afternoon, we came here because my contractor wants to explore the forests nearby in search of alchemy ingredients such as herbs and the like... There is also the fact that he told us that he has a house within this village, so it would be safe to make some stops here while looking for what he wants."

"Humf... I can understand your logic, but you won't be able to enter yet... Hooketre! Call the lady and the boss of the place so they can authorize their presence!" That same goblin spoke, turning to another of his race who was also using a spear, that second little monster walked quickly to make the order.

"Eh... Adventurer Momon... aren't you accepting talking to a goblin too easily?" Lukrut questions, always keeping one hand close to his bow.

"Life can have countless surprises and unexpected things... just act with the union of instinct and reasoning. My instinct says these monsters are either civilized or tamed." That was the only answer he could think of at the moment. Inside he was dying, because it was much more cringe than he thought.

It didn't take long for someone to arrive, the disguised player expected to see the girl he saved, since she was the person who had the item to summon goblins, but he ended up not believing the scene he saw right after. The girl ran to Nfirea, pulling him out of the cart and hugging him, almost lifting him off the ground, as she was taller than him.

"Ulala~ Apparently our employer already had a wife without us knowing~" Lukrut made that comment, making everyone in the wagon look at him, as if they were already begging him to stop the flirtatious conversations.

"Anyway... I think we'll make a camp nearby so tomorrow morning we can go with you to get different herbs."

"Oh yes! It's a good idea! I recommend staying in the eastern part of the city, that's where we will go." Nfirea spoke while being hugged more by the girl, looking super happy to see him.

"Due to the cultural customs that I mentioned during the trip, Nabe and I will be walking around, just to see if we can find any monsters nearby, like the ones we saw along the way... If during our search we feel too tired, we will return here, if our energy is still full, we will make a camp further away. Is it okay to do this between just the two of us?" Momon was trying to make a slight excuse so he could go visit Nazarick.

"Ooh! So you want to be alone? Are you guys dating by any chance? I was sensing that." Lukrut tried to speak in that irritating way of his again, but ended up getting an unexpected answer.

When mentioning that Nabe would be dating the warrior Momon, the woman became extremely scared, starting to shake her head and explain herself as crazy, to the point of almost ending up mentioning Albedo's name in the confusion. However, Momonga managed to get her attention to shut up.

The player understood that beings like Narberal saw him as a god, and that they spoke of the existence of Floor guardians as the most powerful beings among NPCs, but he did not expect that the maid would end up having a panic attack of this level. Perhaps it would be necessary to train her or future companions more in the art of acting in the absence of this hierarchy.

After that awkward moment, the two left, heading towards the west of the village, the most random direction possible. Arriving close to a forest near the road, they walked together until they realized that they were already deep enough with the trees covering a lot of the view.

"I think this is good... Narberal... after we finish our roleplay as adventurers, I will teach you how to act better." Momonga said, still in the black armor, but extending his hand to create a portal.

Narberal seemed to tremble with fear about that, even though her master didn't speak in an aggressive tone, she imagined that she had made an extreme mistake just by saying that. This was completely noticeable to the skeleton, who just sighed and ordered her to go through the portal first, and then closed it.

On the other side, he was in the main hall of the 9th Floor, watching Narberal running to get back into her standard uniform, she seemed panicked about the punishment she imagined. Some homunculus maids who were passing by noticed the Battle maid's panic, but Momonga took off his helmet, telling them that everything was fine, and that there seemed to have been some misunderstanding.

During the walk to his room, one of the homunculus maids approached the overlord, looking a little rushed. "Momonga-Sama, I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but the other Supreme Beings are requesting your presence."

"Eh? Do they already know I'm here?" He asked, confused by that, the woman just responded by nodding her head. "Well, tell them I want to relax a little before anything happens... and tell them that if they need me that urgently, come to my quarters, and I won't complain."

"Of course, Momonga-Sama, your will I obey, Momonga-Sama." The maid said before walking down the corridor, disappearing from the skeleton's sight.

After that, he entered the room, even though his body was that of an undead, he still felt tired, due to a placebo effect from his old life as a human. However, something else appeared to interrupt the little rest he wanted, and that something was called Albedo.

The Overseer was lying on the guild leader's bed, aggressively hugging the pillow that was there, rubbing herself against it in a way that made Momonga's emotional suppression activate almost instantly due to how much it took him by surprise. He had to give a light cough for the succubus to realize that someone was in that room besides her, apparently she was too focused on those perverted and imaginary acts to have noticed the sound of the door opening and closing.

They stared at each other for a few minutes, until the skeleton finally said something. "Albedo.... I would like to know... why did you invade my room? Why did you take my pillow? And why are you naked in my bed?" His voice was very monotonous, due to emotional suppression.

And before she could respond, he interrupted her. "Wait... I don't want to know why this is... just... get out of here, and one more thing... I'm forbidding you from entering any room of the Supreme Beings, without the permission of them!!!! You understood?"

"B-B-But Momonga-Sama! I-I came here because I was asked to investigate the existence of items that could be considered weapons in the rooms of all Supreme Beings and take notes... H-However, I-I couldn't help myself when I smelled the scent of our great leader!! Waaah!!" She said looking shy, but the way she moved said otherwise, it was pure lust, she didn't even try to cover herself when she got up from the bed.

This type of action made Momonga put one of his hands on his face, trying to think how to handle the existence of that pervert. "Look... Just get dressed appropriately... And get out of here..."

Those orders were enough for Albedo to behave normally and get out. It was impressively bizarre how that crazy woman acted like a complete pervert and after a second she acted like a respectful and normal lady.

'Even after these weeks of living in this new world... I can't stand beings like her... When will I get used to it? Will I ever get used to it?' Were Suzuki's thoughts, as she used some magic to sterilize the entire room and lay down on the bed, now only wearing 'Momon's Uniform' from the waist down.

It took some time for someone to knock on the door, if Suzuki was still human, that short period would not have been enough, but with that skeleton body, it was just necessary. He got up, still dressed just like that, without having put on his common overlord uniform, and went to the door, opening it, he could see in front of him the great vigilante of Nazarick, wearing his famous white armor, without helmet.

"Masato... Hello... what time is it?"

"If we were to compare it to 'our' hours, around 8 pm at the latest."

"So I just hibernated for two hours?..." Suzuki lightly scratched his jaw bones before continuing to speak. "Anyway... why did you come here? Is it related to that surprise you wanted me to see?"

"Yes, actually it was just to warn you about wearing a full uniform, there is not just one human here, and it was recommended to hide our heteromorphic races for now." His words were blunt as he watched his colleague who was basically showing his ribs.

With those recommendations, the overlord snapped his fingers, with the standard uniform appearing above him, already wearing it. "I understand... but knowing you, you wouldn't come to me just to give those warnings." He continued to speak while putting on the commemorative mask.

"It's just that I would take you to where this special guest is." TouchMe commented as he started walking down the hallway, Momonga following close behind. He continued talking. "I hope you are extremely pleased with what we found, we were quite a lot." That only raised the overlord's level of interest, who followed his companion to a slightly distant room on the 9th Floor.

The room had an appearance reminiscent of a large dojo interior, it was one of several areas on the 9th floor created for roleplay and some inside jokes. At the entrance of the place were some Floor Guardians who seemed quite curious about something, but they were afraid to enter the room directly, that sight made Momonga raise an imaginary eyebrow, curiosity made him want to take a closer look at what was happening. And it was a situation he didn't really expect to see under any circumstances.

The butler and unofficial head of the Pleiades, Sebas Tian, ​​was fighting a human. Both were shirtless, with gauntlets and boots being used as their only weapons. The ones that Sebas used were clearly part of his draconic body, as this was his race class, the human wore boots that seemed to be made of ice, while the gauntlets had a firm and crude appearance, as if each one were a big stone.

Sitting on the side of the dojo, was Bukubuku, accompanied by 4 girls, three were demi humans that Momonga didn't recognize, and one human who seemed to have similar characteristics to the human who was fighting. The demihumans seemed extremely happy and with their eyes shining watching the fight, while the human seemed more in shock and fear than anything else.

"[HEEL DROP KICK]!" Sebas' voice could be heard with intensity, making Momonga look back at the fight that was going on.

That Skill used Ki instead of Mana, another form of energy from YGGDRASIL, in addition to magic, the description of the Skill was to allow a large attack with extreme weight. And just as expected, the butler quickly raised his right leg and descended towards the human's head.

"[Vol Suctum]! [Magic Integration]!" That's what the human exclaimed, almost as a reflection for the butler's skill.

His two gauntlets suddenly gained an extra layer that resembled a bluish metal. Using that to defend himself from Sebas' attack, by raising both arms above his head. The impact was intense enough to make a strong wind emerge from that closed room, shaking the fabrics of the clothes of those present there.

"What's going on here?" The overlord said, trying to attract attention, but strangely the majority were in the focus of that fight, with Demiurge being the first to notice his presence.

"Momonga-sama. It is wonderful to be in your presence, did you come here to see Master Hikari?" The strategist demon's words ended up destabilizing the skeleton, to the point that emotional suppression was activated again that day.

"Hi-hikari?"

That name was something Suzuki didn't expect to say in that context. Looking at the young man, he didn't seem to have characteristics that reminded him of his friend, nor the real appearance or the appearance of YGGDRASIL. But if Demiurge called him that, if the others were there, interacting as if it were natural for him to be there, it gave a strange hope to feel.

After a few seconds, Momonga was finally noticed by the others. With his colleagues waving, the NPCs bowing gently, and the visitors seemed scared by the size that the overlord seemed to have, due to his uniform, with the exception of that boy who was fighting with Sebas. He approached the guild leader, with a wide smile and stretching his hand towards him.

"Long time no see, Suzuki." That sentence seemed to break the overlord.

He kept shining repeatedly with a green aura, with the passive skill constantly trying to hold back his emotions. He looked at the paladin, who just nodded, confirming that this was not an illusion. So, the disguised skeleton approached and hugged his colleague, who had finally returned.

"Keiko... b-but how?"

"I was just reborn here... there's not much to explain about it..." He replied, gently patting one of the overlord's shoulders, comforting him. "But it would be good to have a more appropriate conversation later... about another context... An appropriate context for a leader."

The fact that the cancellation of emotions kept being activated repeatedly made Suzuki calm down, understanding the situation well, now asking something else important. "And who would these be? I never saw those demi-humans and that human must have come with you..."

"Oh!" Letyan called the girls, and when they approached, it was obvious that they seemed scared, perhaps due to the natural aura that the overlord emanated. "These here are Kathleen, Raven and Junko, they are demihumans that I found on a mission I was doing a while ago... they treat me like a master, but they are more part of the family than they think." They blushed at that statement, but the boy continued. "And she is Neia, she is part of my biological family, being my older sister."

"Older? But seeing the two of you and taking everything out of context, you seem to be the oldest, Hikari." All the Players laughed at Suzuki's statement, making him confused.

"Eh... everyone said the same thing... but that's just because he matured too quickly..." Neia replied, with complete shame about that, even though she thought that now her brother had the memories of someone older, it didnt change the way she saw the family situation as a whole since she was a child.

After a few minutes, the players went to the meeting room, followed by a few trusted NPCs and the visitors who were present there. There, a conversation began, revealing some important information to the Overlord, who became very thoughtful.

"So... tomorrow you want us to be in Carne Village to introduce ourselves as a group that wants to ally with the Holy Kingdom?" The skeleton's phrases made some people aware of the entire conversation that took place there.

"Actually... I would like it to be today, even if it were in the early hours of the morning or at night... the saint whose job is to watch me, Kelart, really wants to get back there as soon as possible, and I wouldn't want a meeting like that to happen with her angry..." Even with his status, Letyan, together with Neia, trembled a little, not in fear of Kelart herself, but because of the fear of what consequences she would cause, as she was a great friend of the queen.

"And to think that you want to do something like that... but why, Hikari-sama? I don't understand why you would want us to ally ourselves with such insignificant insects." Demiurge said that, causing the Players to facepalm at the same time, regretting letting beings like Demiurge go see the meeting.

"You seem stupid sometimes, I don't know how you are Ulbert's son..." The words of the human supreme being hit the demon as if his heart exploded with regret for the words. "You don't remember or perhaps you don't know the real reason our group was created?"

"I-I might not be aware! Please, Great Hikari-Sama! Enlighten me with your knowledge!" Demiurge said bowing... If it weren't for the context of Letyan being an ancient supreme being, this scene would be the most impossible thing to exist, it would even be more logical to believe in pigs that turn into grasshoppers, than this.

Ulbert gave a slight cough at the way his 'son' was acting. "Eh... well... When we created Nine Own Goal, the group that originated Ainz Ooal Gown, our main objective was for us to be a kind of peacekeeping team... Where we would try our best to find allies and only destroy those who were bums and PKs..."

"Yes, and from what Keik-... Letyan said... the Kingdom he lives in has a queen who also appears to want a situation of peace and mutual correlation, where each being uses the other, in a healthy way, for a immense prosperity... Am I wrong?" Momonga was the one to say it.

"Yep, you're completely right, that's the logic I'm having. Since Ainz Ooal Gown and Nazarick as a whole now find themselves in a new territory, there is nothing better than looking for beings with similar ideals... Even though they may look weaker than us, an increase in the number of companions is essential."

The NPCs present there were still confused by that logic, but they accepted, thinking that there was something more to that plan that they did not perceive due to how greater a supreme being can be. The players were relieved that the NPCs' doubts were no longer exposed, their human side was grateful for that...

"Eh... I'm sorry, but what are Pi-Kayss?" Neia questioned, after thinking carefully about the conversation there, after all she didn't understand those terms

"Oh, it's a term used to categorize Players who kill other Players... It's hard to explain..." Touch_Me replied.

"Let's say that Players are super powerful beings, and that we, the Supreme Beings and leaders of Nazarick, are also players... Normally there is no need for us to fight each other, but there are stupid and greedy people who want to become strong by killing other players. Generally PKs are from the human race, who use the classic 'Humanity is good and the rest are totally evil' as an excuse, so they can kill Players who have a little non-human blood." Tabula was the next to invade the conversation while had a disguise, trying to be as direct as possible so that the girl from that new world could understand.

"Hm... so does that mean that most humans are considered PKs?" Junko questioned, confused.

"How can we explain this... eh... Hikari, help me here."

"Simple... Neia, I'm going to use a kind of scale to help you understand the situation..." He said that with his eyes shining, seeming to be analyzing something. "Players are beings who can reach a level of power just by battling and killing enemies, without anything else stopping them, other than the delay in achieving this. Let's say that level is 100... unfortunately, people like our own father can be considered to be in the area of ​​level 30, on that same scale."

Everyone from his new group was shocked to think of something like this...

"Wait... but father is very powerful, he can easily kill enemies just using his magic bow..."

"Yes, I'm not saying that he's weak, just that Players are beings categorized as something... very advanced. So PKs would be beings advanced enough to destroy other average players."

'A group made to destroy and fight against such powerful beings? This being a group whose main objective is a harmonious situation?' These questions passed through Neia's mind, making her swallow hard and think more. 'I can't conceive of the situation as a whole, even with these explanations... but something is certain... If beings like these become your majesty's allies... Maybe that will shut up the opponents... No... Maybe it will shut up anyone opposed to the holy ideals.'

'Such power... perhaps it will bring justice.'
