"Calm down, calm down, do you want to continue the conversation from last time?"

"How can you, an inferior creature, know what Master Ainz likes!!!"

"Who knows, anyway, we'll be negotiating the handover of hostages at noon today, so please be quiet then."

Jiu Ye opened the bento he brought over and began to enjoy the fried potatoes and egg rolls inside, which tasted pretty good.

"We have no malicious intentions, and your Ainz-sama doesn't seem to want to conflict with us."

"Full of nonsense, you are not worth mentioning to Lord Ainz, and you are not qualified to mention Lord Ainz's name!"

Like the machine girl who can't get hurt, this troublesome primogenitor girl will not compromise.

"correct."

Jiuye pointed to his chest.

"It's a bit crooked."

Shalltear, who heard this, looked at her chest, and the thing stuffed inside to increase the size was indeed crooked.

Shalltear's face turned red, mixed with shame and anger, she showed her sharp canine teeth for blood-sucking to Jiuba.

"Kill you!"

It seems that today will not be so peaceful, Jiuye is very troubled.

Chapter 32 Troubled Situation Breeding Program

There was no response from Shalltear, and since she handed over the clone scroll to her to keep an eye on the surrounding situation and collect information, she never received any form of contact.

As the guardian of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, Shalltear's power is definitely not weak, which means that those who catch it will be even more difficult.

Judging from the current situation, the person who captured Shalltear was probably an enemy who had clashed with her before.

Ainz sat on a chair made of skeletons, and while thinking about this question, he received a reply from Cocytus.

Cocytus, who was dispatched to investigate the cause of the chaos in the northeast, spoke in a hurry, and Ainz judged that he was running in the jungle.

【Ainz-sama, the enemy we met today is stronger than me. Even though I did not use my full strength, it is enough to prove that he is a sufficiently threatening enemy. 】

"So didn't I tell you to return as soon as possible? In the end, you applied to continue dealing with the enemy; now that Shalltear has lost contact, there is no need for us to continue to act separately."

【Yes, this is my mistake in judgment. Please punish me for being stupid at that time, Lord Ainz.In addition, just now I met the teenagers who fought against today and another group in a spring, and there were three teams in that group. 】

"Three people? Isn't it a teenager, a bald head and a frivolous-looking middle-aged man?"

There was silence on the other side, and there was the sound of falling trees and the whistling wind.

[Because of the urgent situation at the time, in order to avoid a melee, I took the method of leaving the scene directly, but I can confirm that there is a teenager and a bald head in the three-person team. 】

Ainz thought of the team he attacked today, and it must be the three-person guy Cocytus met.

It seems that this forest looks huge, but it is easy for people to gather together for various reasons.

Looking up, the cold moonlight was blocked by the thick clouds, and the mottled light and shadow that fell on the ground just now dissipated, so Ainz lit the nearby lamp, and the blue light like will-o'-the-wisp made his surroundings clearly visible.

It was the early morning of the third day in the strange world, and Ainz recalled that the ghouls he sent out to deliver the letter should have been delivered long ago.

The time Ainz had agreed with the other party was at noon today, and the location was the place where the human girl was snatched from them not long ago. Ainz believed that they would not ignore this letter.

At present, Ainz has elves and orcs in his hands, and he also brought a girl who is probably very important to those guys. He has a lot of chips in his hand, which gives Ainz a lot of confidence.

[Lord Ainz, the Shalltear who lost contact was probably captured by those guys. After all, even if Shalltear, as the True Ancestor, has enough strength, she can't match those who have enough strength and unite. guy. 】

What Cocytus said was the truth, he didn’t want to spoil his prestige by making others angry, but looked at the current problem with rational sunshine.

"It's okay, they have many hostages in our hands, and they dare not act rashly at all, so we still hold the initiative."

【Of course, Ainz-sama is the supreme master, how could he lose to that mob?I will return to the tentative camp immediately, Ainz-sama, please pay attention to the attacks of those cunning enemies. 】

"Don't worry, they can't get close to here at all."

After Ainz, who was blown into the air by Cocytus, replied in a calm tone, he curled up slightly and let out a heavy sigh.

The rattling skeleton caused the will-o'-the-wisps in Ainz's pupils to flicker faster. In the eyes of outsiders, his lazy appearance was like a magician in a dungeon guarding his wealth, only to be left with a miserable skeleton after death.

Ainz was originally just an office worker who knew how to play games. Who knew that he would encounter this kind of problem continuously?

If Albedo and the others were there, Ainz thought it would be much easier.

Just like work, it is easier and faster for everyone to solve a problem than to work overtime, but no one is willing to lend a helping hand to colleagues.

"What are you doing..."

Ainz cheered up after chanting these words, and there was a space close to a square in front of him.

The elves, who were forcibly housed in the center by magic, mixed with the orcs. They hadn't eaten for two days, but Ainz didn't think they would starve to death.

The elves and orcs themselves are alien races beyond human physique. If they die after starving for two days, they will be too weak.

Ainz, who was thinking about the noon exchange of hostages while watching the actions of the people in the square, heard hurried shouts.

"Ah! I'll help you bandage it! Are you okay?! This...you need to wash away the dirt with water."

The person who was tossed between the elves and the orcs was the girl who was kidnapped by Ainz today. She was sweating profusely and was just beginning to heal the injured elves and orcs.

No way, who told them to resist on the way, but they were taught a lesson by Shalltear and Cocytus?

Originally, Ainz didn't mean to hurt them at that time. After all, before the enemy's situation was found out, taking actions against humanity would often intensify the conflict between them.

Intelligence is the most important advantage in war, and those who have more information will have more advantages.

Otherwise, how can there be a saying called 'know yourself, know your enemy, and win a hundred battles'.

Watching the girl's every move, Ainz stood up from his seat, walked to the edge of the enchantment, and asked.

"Hey, human girl, what are you doing?"

"Everyone is injured, and we must help them. I know how to bandage a little bit."

Ainz's question was actually not for her to explain what she was doing, but for her to explain the reason for such an action.

Even though he is also in a crisis, he actually has the leisure and grace to lend a helping hand to others.

Although Ainz, who was a human in the past, has undergone many changes due to becoming an undead, he still retains a part of his humanity, and he admires the girl in front of him.

"Ask you, why did you act with those people?"

"Are you talking about Saitama-sensei? I remember calling them like this..."

The girl was not afraid of Ainz at all, but continued on.

"My name is Elizabeth, Elizabeth Lioness, and I am looking for Lord Meliodas right now."

"Meliodas?"

"Yes, have you seen it? It's a short man with blond hair and a broken sword on his back."

"A man who is not tall, has blond hair, and carries a broken sword..."

After repeating Elizabeth's words, Ainz seemed to understand something.

This kind of intelligence made him think that he had gained another combat power.

Woohoo!Do something!Do something!

Chapter 33 Troubled Situation Breeding Program

The girl looking for the blond boy and the blond boy looking for the girl, Ainz Ooal Gong had an idea in his mind after hearing this information.

"Elizabeth, you said just now that the person you are looking for is short, with blond hair and a broken sword, right? In fact, my subordinates just happened to meet him, and they also know that the person is looking for you."

"Really? If it's possible... please bring Master Meliodas here!"

"Of course, that's fine, but the Meliodas-sama you're talking about won't believe our words directly, will he? After all, empty words have no basis, and pure words are like lies."

Ainz stared at the girl in front of him, and the flames in his pupils burned even more, as if the complicated thoughts in his heart had turned into firewood, adding fuel to the fire.

Will Elizabeth believe in herself?Ainz expressed doubts, but no matter whether she was willing to believe him or not, he still took something from her as proof.

hair, clothes, even fingers...

Of course, the first two are used for friendly communication, and the last 'finger' is used for threats.

Elizabeth, who looked hesitant, seemed to be thinking about what choice to make. She had no fighting power to speak of, so she could only trust the skeleton in front of her. After all, even if she rejected him, it would be meaningless.

So Elizabeth took off the bow-like decoration on her body, and tied it with a few hairs she tore off.

"My hair and accessories, Mr. Meliodas should be able to detect my aura on them."

"It was a great help, and I will help you to inform him."

Speaking of which, Ainz stretched his hand through the barrier to get Elizabeth's hair and decorations, an orc attempted to crush the bones of his hand.

"It's useless."

Ainz ignored the orc's attack, because the next moment's impact sent the orc who launched the attack flying out. After his body hit the ground, part of his internal organs were damaged, and he groaned in pain while spitting out blood.

"It's okay!"

Hearing Elizabeth's urgent cry of concern for others, Ainz used magic to save her life, then turned and left.

Talk to her later to gather more intel, and now...

"Cocytus."

"May I ask what orders Master Ainz has?"

Cocytus, who rushed back to the tentative camp, knelt on one knee and appeared in front of Ainz respectfully.

Cocytus, who looked like an insect, was an elite in the tomb of Nazarick, and his previous failures would not make Ainz lose his trust in him.

"I'm going to let you all take a trip, take this thing to find the person you fought with before."

"this is……"

"Give it to him, tell him that this is an item snatched from the enemy, and hope that he will cooperate with us to capture the other party."

Since he is someone who can repel Cocytus, he must be strong enough to be a teammate.

Use what can be used, this is one of Ainz's creeds.

----

"We are not a tool for you to use."

That was the shout heard by Jiuye who was about to set off. These words came from a half-orc carrying a shovel covered in mud and weeds. His eyes were full of displeasure in his work clothes.

After a while, a boy who looked like his son appeared at the corner of the road, looking like he was still crying just now.

"There were no casualties, but the wolf dog Jeter who lived with us for ten years was eaten by those monsters. Let me tell you, I have my own ideas, and I will not act according to your ideas."

The orc took his son's hand and planned to leave before that.

"I know you want to protect this place. After all, Mr. Administrator has paid a lot, but I will definitely take revenge."

Jiuye didn't reply, the situation in front of him was just like what Mr. Demon King said, there were always some people who were unwilling to act according to Jiuye's way.

Pets that had been raised for many years were killed, residences were destroyed by monsters, and the relics of deceased relatives were eaten by monsters. Jiuye did receive many such reports.

Jiu Ye, who was rubbing his forehead with his hands, felt tired. As an apartment manager, it was very troublesome to solve the problems of residents with different personalities and ideas, not to mention that there were many non-human beings among them.

"Hey! Jiuye! How long will it take to leave? It's almost noon, right?"

"Oh! Here it comes! I'll get someone to bring Shalltear out."

"Shalltear?"

"That captured vampire girl."

Izayoi nodded, it seemed that he didn't care about the guy who was caught, but instead focused on the enemy he was about to fight.

But this time Jiuye did not go for the battle, the ultimate goal was to solve the immediate problem peacefully.

"I just don't know how Miss Elizabeth is."

Walking with the magicians on the way to the 'dungeon', Jiuye was a little worried about Elizabeth, even though he knew that Ainz would probably not kill Elizabeth.

Judging from the current situation, losing Elizabeth is equivalent to losing the help of Meliodas, because Jiuye believes that Ainz will use Elizabeth to make things happen.

"Hey, Miss Shalltear, how are you doing?"
