"Do not."

This time Gavan shook his head without hesitation, raised his hand and touched the system's head, looked at the other party and smiled.

"The child will always be with me, and I will always take good care of her."

"Is that so..."

The uncle with cat ears rubbed his chin, looked at the black-haired girl with a happy smile who was still chatting with the adventurers not far away, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"...Well, it's called Lia, right? Does this kid have the talent to be an adventurer, swordsmanship or magic?"

Hearing these chatty words, Gavan thought for a while, then nodded vigorously and replied: "If it's about swordsmanship, I just confirmed that the child is definitely the future sword master, as for magic... .”

Recalling the results of a certain dead mage who passed away peacefully, the result of the magic talent test that the loveless man helped to do.

"Just say it's okay."

"Oh, that sounds great."

The uncle with cat ears smiled roughly.

In my heart, I was thinking that I am already old, is it almost time to find a disciple or something?

"Oh, by the way, Brother Jiafan, do you want to accept another commission?"

"Um, it's okay, but don't be too far away from the capital, I still want to stay in this city for a while."

"Haha, don't worry, it's very close. It's in the capital. It's an entrustment to help patrol the wall of the royal city. The reward is surprisingly good."

"Oh? That's fine."

Gavan thought for a while, and nodded in agreement. At the same time, he was still thinking about whether he could find the lost person who came to the capital by the way.

However, what he didn't notice was that the gazes of the adventurers behind him had already begun to change in a different way when they looked at him.

"Wow...'Sue the Dead'."

A certain adventurer muttered in a low voice.

And regard this as quite interesting information.

At this time, Liya had already bouncing back to Gavan's side as if nothing had happened, and then looked up at the other party and kept smiling.

Gavan's expression was inexplicable.

"Uh, Liya, what are you laughing at?"

"Hey, nothing."

This is her little secret, and a surprise for Gavan.

Liya wants the other party to find out by herself in the future.

"Hey, Gavan."

"Well, what happened?"

"I'm hungry and want to eat!"

"Okay, then let's go out for a stroll and see where to buy delicious food, but by the way, Liya, have you suddenly become a lot more cheerful?"

"Because Jiafan is here, hehe." The black-haired little girl smiled happily from the bottom of her heart.

......

And at the same time.

a certain alley.

Sebas first casually glanced at the few assassins on the ground who came to trouble him, but all passed out.

Looking at Climb with admiration for passing his test and taking out a stronger assassin on his own, finally...

Looking at the man named Brian in front of him.

He had a thoughtful expression on his face.

"You said... there are strong men like me in this royal capital?"

Chapter 99: A Little Changed Demiurge

Before you know it, the sun sets.

The sky above the capital of the Re-Estege Kingdom was covered with a fiery cloud of red.

The day was coming to an end, and now it was dusk.

The people rushing to and fro on the street were still busy with their own affairs. No one noticed that there was a man in a British-style striped suit and round-frame glasses above his head. suspended here.

Habitually lowering his glasses with his hands, Demiurge frowned slightly while thinking.

He was thinking about Sebastian.

Although that guy is not a layer guardian, he has the same level of combat power as a guardian. As the steward of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, he can be regarded as an indispensable important person and companion.

Based on rational thinking, he should maintain a good relationship with the other party, but...

I don't know why, but he really can't understand the other party's various behaviors and ways of thinking.

Especially this time, the other party even took in a human female named Chiare without authorization, which violated the mission requirements of concealment and unobtrusiveness, as well as the great plan that might affect Lord Ainz.

This kind of thing is intolerable to him.

They are people who serve the Supreme Being, and follow the orders and will of the only surviving Lord Ainz, which is the whole meaning of their existence.

There is no need for those who cannot share the concerns of the Supreme Being and who cannot create value for the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick.

He was convinced of this until...

A human princess named Qi Ye appeared.

Thinking of that child, Demiurge subconsciously put down his round-rimmed glasses with complicated emotions.

At first, in his eyes, the child was an unsightly existence who went his own way, was very self-willed and unable to communicate, and not only could not create any value for the big tomb, but also continued to cause losses every day.

Then, because he felt that the various unexpected high-level props and the value contained in them were worth studying, he took over the task of taking care of the princess from Albedo.

Then, he was surprised to find that with the princess's uproar, people from all walks of life seemed to be subtly and slowly changed by her. To be more specific, it would be...

Increased self-awareness, or rather, becoming more "complete"?

This made Demiurge a little unsure whether this change was good or bad, but since Ainz-sama had acquiesced in all the princess's actions, he must have already had his own considerations and plans.

In this way, he doesn't have to interfere with anything, and now...

Some aspects of himself seem to have been changed by the princess.

Looking down at the ants-like humans below, Demiurge looked indifferent.

As before, he still looks down on this weak race, seeing it as no different from a ignorant beast, but he no longer has the idea of ​​calling it a "two-legged sheep".

Because princesses are human too.

"..."

Shaking his head slightly to sweep away those wild thoughts, Demiurge turned his gaze to the royal city in the center of the capital again, and the corners of his mouth raised habitually again, revealing a polite and decent smirk.

From the information obtained from Sebastian, who was confirmed to be absolutely loyal to the Great Tomb and Lord Ainz, he discovered a very interesting existence.

"Golden Princess, Lana?"

Demiurge murmured in a low voice. He judged from the intelligence that this is a human being who can create considerable value for the Great Tomb, but more specifically, he needs to meet with the other party in person and talk face-to-face to make a judgment. the final decision.

In addition, the person who can arouse his interest a little bit is...

"Looks like it's called Ji Guoyuan?"

Demiurge recalled the information Sebas had mentioned when he left the room.

It is said that he learned from a human named Brian who was weaker than the beast named Hamsuke adopted by Ainz-sama that there was a swordsman in the capital who, in the eyes of the other party, was comparable in strength to him.

Because the princess often went to play with Hamsuke with Aura during this time, so Demiurge still had a good impression of that monster.

That guy was quite weak, he probably couldn't bear even a random spell and died.

And since this human named Brian is weaker than Hamsuke, his judgment is of no reference value.

Calculated at a higher level, it should be at most the level of the battle maid Pleiades star cluster.

After seeing the golden princess, let's go find it by the way and see if it can bring value to the big tomb.

After thinking up to this point, Demiurge, who had finished thinking, directly waved the wings of the demon behind him, and flew towards the royal city silently and quickly.

And as a matter of course, no one can find him, and the guards here are like decorations for him.

It didn't take too much time, he quickly found the target, and instantly appeared in a certain snow-white room through high-level teleportation.

Looking at the blonde girl sitting in front of the small round table, holding an exquisite black teacup, she didn't feel the slightest panic because of her sudden appearance, and looked at her with a smile on her face.

Demiurge knew that his previous judgment was correct.

This is a very interesting human being.

So, he bowed slightly politely, and smiled decently.

"Your peace, I am the one who serves the Supreme Being, Demiurge."

"Well, nice to meet you, Mister Demiurge, may I ask..."

Without the slightest hesitation, Lana, who kept smiling, looked at the sudden presence in front of her, and quickly judged that the other party was an unheard-of terrifying force that the human race could not resist, and immediately gave up all her previous plans. and......

Putting down the black tea cup, the golden princess of her country smiled softly and naturally.

"Do you want me to hand over the country to the organization behind you?"

"...Oh oh oh, how clever."

This slightly unexpected reaction made the smile on the corner of Demiurge's mouth more obvious. It seemed that the other party was more interesting than he expected.

So, he stopped talking nonsense, without any opening remarks, and said straight to the point.

"Very well, quite well, then, the Golden Duke..."

Demiurge's voice suddenly faltered because he saw the subconscious smile on the other side.

Very twisted and dark, not even a human expression, but quite a nice and funny smile for a demon.

Logically speaking, at this time, he should just be interested in looking at the other person's expression and essence, but in fact...

"I'll call you Miss Lana, next, let's have a good chat."

Demiurge laughed very naturally and casually.

Suddenly, an inexplicable instinct in my heart rejected calling the person in front of me a "princess", because...

The princess didn't smile like that.

......

at the same time.

The wall of the royal city, a room in a tower somewhere.

Due to the remote location, few people pass by here, but today it is a little lively.

The most recognized warrior in this country, Gazef Stronov, stood here, looking a bit embarrassed for some reason.

He clenched the long sword in his hands with both hands, concentrated all his attention, stared intently at the man with the flame pattern on his left forehead, and took a deep breath.

"The previous captain of "Blue Rose" came to me and said that he wanted a new member of her adventure team to help me practice swordsmanship. I thought it was a joke, but I didn't expect it to be so strong... ..”

Slightly tensing the muscles on his arms, Gazef asked without looking back: "Angelaus, can you still stand up?"

"Ahem, cough, cough, no problem."

Brian, who didn't know how he was sent flying out and hit the wall of the room just now, gasped for a few breaths with his hands on the ground, and stood up for the first time, sweating.

He had been in close contact with the ground for half an hour, but in just half an hour, he didn't know how many times he was beaten to the ground by the scabbard at will.

This made him look much more embarrassed than Gazef next to him, but compared to his decadent and self-abandoned self yesterday, his eyes were so bright at this moment.

He is feeling the peak of swordsmanship, and he is feeling himself who is slowly becoming stronger.

"Come on again, continue."

Taking a few steps forward, Brian stood next to Gazef again, holding the long knife tightly in both hands. Together with him, he faced the man who stood in a casual and natural posture in front of him, but could not see the slightest flaw, and waited for him.
