According to Aura's report of surrounding areas,
there has yet to be any contact with other Yggdrasil players.
She is in the process of increasing the area of surveillance to the great woodlands near Nazarick.
Also, it seems that the man we captured, named Nigun,
was the commander of the special ops unit for the Sunlit Scripture of the Slane Theocracy.
Slane Theocracy...
Goblins, Ogres, Lizardmen, and the like.
A theocratic nation that believes humans must unite against all races, if I remember correctly.
It may be dangerous to come in contact with them right now.
And lastly, what should we do about that village?
Carne Village is the only foothold we obtained on friendly terms.
Avoid creating a negative image as much as possible.
Understood.
That was the last of my daily report.
Good work.
I am undeserving of such words!
As the Supreme One, as well as the one I love, please use me in any way you wish.
Albedo.
Your feelings toward me are something I warped inside of you.
That's why...
Is there any problem with that?
Huh?
Lord Ainz, there is only one important thing.
Does it cause you trouble?
N-No, that's not the case.
Then, is there any problem with it?
What?!
I believe there isn't a problem.
I messed with Tabula-san's settings!
I am sure Lord Tabula Smaragdina would forgive you, like a father would when marrying off his daughter.
Y-You think so?
Lord Ainz, I hope you are doing well.
You as well, Shalltear.
And what brings you to my room today?
Of course, I am here to gaze upon your exquisite form.
Are you satisfied now?
Leave, Shalltear.
Eh?
Lord Ainz and I are discussing important matters right now.
This is why old ladies are such a problem.
They have so much free time since they've passed their expiration date.
So you're telling me that you're ripe for the picking?
The goods you put on display seem quite nice, but in reality...
I'll kill you, bitch.
Who are you calling expired, whore?
Both of you! Stop your childish fighting.
Yes, Lord Ainz!
So? State your business, Shalltear.
Yes.
I am about to join Sebas, who has already departed on your orders.
I believe I may not be able to return to Nazarick for a short time.
So, I came to give you my regards before I leave.

E-Rantel Fortress City
A room?
It's 5 bronze pieces a night for two rooms.
The meals...
I would like one room for two.
We don't need any meals.
You're a copper plate, right?
Then, this place is too—
We just registered ourselves at the guild a moment ago.
7 bronze pieces a night!
You gotta pay up front!
That's fine.
The room is on the second floor in the back.
Goodness.
Ouch!
Hey, now!
That hurt!
What are you going to do about this?
Huh?!
Looks like my injuries need to be treated kindly by that woman there!
No, no. Please forgive me.
You spoke just like a stereotypical punk so I couldn't help laughing.
What?!
It looks like you're too weak to even play around with.
Huh?
So?
What are we going to do next?
It's stupid for all of us to waste our time.
If you want...
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
What the hell are you doing?!
My potion shattered because of you!
You better pay for it!
Potion?
With the money I saved from skipping meals and quitting alcohol!
The money I saved little by little for today!
Today!
You just broke the potion that I bought today!
Then, why not have these guys compensate you for it?
1 gold piece and 10 silver pieces.
You guys are always getting drunk, so there's no way you'd have that much on you.
You're wearing some pretty nice armor there,
so you probably have a healing potion or two on you, right?
I'm okay with just getting the actual item back.
I have some, but...
Wait! Wait!
Fine!
A red potion?
Now there's no problem, right?
Yeah.
For now.
But, a supreme being such as yourself should not stay in a place like this.
Don't say that, Nabe.
So those are adventurers.
They're controlled by the guild organization and the majority of their quests deal with killing monsters.
The job is a lot more dreamless than I expected.
What should we do about that vile woman?
She has an iron plate, which is a higher rank than us.
As her juniors, we should let her maintain her public image.
By the way, what do you think of humans?
They are trash.
Her, too?!
Nabe.
I won't tell you to change your way of thinking,
but try to keep your open hostility to a minimum.
Understood, Lord Ainz.
Didn't I tell you to call me Momon while we are in this city?
Yes, Momon-sama.
Just Momon!
And you are not Narberal Gamma, but Momon's fellow adventurer, Nabe.
I am very sorry, Momon-saaa...n.
"Momon-saaa...n" sounds a bit silly, but that's fine.
For now, let me tell you our objective.
Yes!
Hey, now...
First, we will go undercover as young adventurers within this city.
Our main goal for doing this is to gain knowledge about this world.
We will continue to gain experience as adventurers.
Once we reach mythril, orichalcum, or the highest rank of adamantite,
I'm sure we'll be able to get quests
that are appropriate for that level which will allow us to obtain more useful information.
Amazing as expected, Lord Ainz.
It's Momon!
But there's already a problem.
We have no money!
Most of the money we have is gold from Yggdrasil.
If we use that, it's like publicly announcing we're from Yggdrasil.
Even if there are other players here, they may not all be friendly.
For now, we have to solve this problem first.
We must find work!
Welcome.
Mr. Nphirea Balear?
Yes. Do you have some business with me?
I'd like something appraised.
Grandma!
Take a look at this!
Red?
What do you think?
Well, let's take a look.
So this is the best pharmacist in E-Rantel...
Lizzy Balear.
My grandmother.
Appraisal Magic Item, Detect Enchant.
Well, Grandma?
Nphirea!
All potions turn blue in the manufacturing process, right?
That's right.
This item is a true potion that no one has been able to make until now!
"A true potion of healing exhibits the color of God's blood."
I thought it was just a legend.
This potion is equal to a second tier healing spell and worth 8 gold pieces...
But thinking of its rarity, people who would kill you for this item will probably appear.
So, what about selling this item to me?
But...
Well, I have another offer for you.
E-Rantel Adventurer's Guild
Hey.
His full armor is amazing.
Just how much did that cost?
Even though he's just a copper plate...
I'm sure he's some rich kid.
A present from daddy?
Hmm, I can't read any of this.
Narberal can't read at all, either.
Hmm.
Argh!
I'd like to take this job.
I'm very sorry.
This is a request for a mythril plate adventurer.
I know.
Huh?
That's why I brought it here.
But, there are rules that must be followed.
It's a stupid rule.
If you fail the request, there is a chance a lot of people will lose their lives.
Hmph.
My partner is a third tier magic caster.
Third tier?
At that age?!
And I am a warrior that is equal to her level.
We want to do a job that is worthy of our skills.
I am very sorry.
According to the rules, you cannot take this job.
I see.
Then it can't be helped.
Sorry for sounding selfish.
If that's the case, give us the hardest request in the copper level.
Oh, yes!
I understand!
All right! I was able to guide her to what I want!
Then, would you like to help us with our job?
Huh?
Then, let me introduce the team.
I am the leader of Swords of Darkness, Peter Mauk.
And that is the team's eyes and ears, the ranger Lukrut Volve.
Hi!
This guy deals with healing magic and the manipulation of nature, the druid Dyne Woodwonder.
Nice to meet you.
And lastly, this is our magic caster and the brains of our team, Ninya the Spell Caster.
Nice to meet you.
But, Peter, can you stop calling me such an embarrassing nickname?
Huh? Why not?
This guy is a talent holder.
Oh, a talent holder.
People who are born in this world with a special ability...
He has the talent, Magic Affinity.
It takes you four years to learn magic that normally takes eight, right?
That's amazing.
I feel very lucky to be born with this talent.
It allowed me to take the first step toward realizing my dream.
Either way, he's a famous talent holder in this city.
Well, there is someone even more famous than me here.
You must be talking about Master Balear.
Huh?
Oh, this is Nabe.
I am Momon.
Please take care of us.
So what kind of talent does this person named Balear have?
I see.
Since you don't know, you must not be from around here.
Yes, I just arrived yesterday.
Nphirea Balear is the grandson of a famous pharmacist here.
His talent allows him to use all magic items.
I see.
That human sounds dangerous.
I know.
And, about our current job.
Our objective is to eliminate the monsters near this city, E-Rantel.
A monster hunting expedition?
Um, actually it's not a job that was particularly requested.
What do you mean?
Depending on the strength of the monster,
the guild will receive money from the city to reward us with.
That will be our reward this time around.
I see, it's kind of like earning money by collecting item drops.
It's a necessary task in our way of life.
But it still puts bread on our table.
It also lessens the dangers for the people around us.
It's a win-win situation!
Well, that's how it is.
We're going to hunt around the forest south of the city.
How about it?
Will you join us?
Yes, please take care of us.
Since we'll be working together, I should show you my face.
I heard of a country where your face is common to the south, Momon-san.
He's a lot older than I expected.
That's rude!
It could cause problems if others knew we were both foreigners, so I have been hiding my face like this.
Well, this face is just an illusion...
By the way, what kind of relationship do the two of you have?
She is my ally.
I'm in love! It was love at first sight!
Please go out with me!
Shut up slug.
Talk to me once you know your place.
Shall I cut off your tongue for you?
Oh, uh...
Thank you for such a harsh rejection!
Then, let's start as friends!
You maggot.
Do you want me to spoon out your eyes?
That cold gaze of hers is so...
Sorry for my friend's rudeness.
No, I'm sorry as well.
Since we're both already prepared, let's leave immediately.
Yes.
Momon-san.
Hm?
You have been requested for a specific job.
Who in the world requested it?
Mr. Nphirea Balear.
Don't move without thinking!
I am very sorry.
I know you are trying to protect me, but hold yourself back a little more.
Nice to meet you.
I am the one who requested for you.
I am very sorry.
I have already promised to do a different job.
I am honored that you requested me, but...
Momon-san! It's a personal request for you!
That may be true, but finishing the job I accepted first is common courtesy.
But, a personal request...
Then, how about this?
I will make my decision after listening to Mr. Balear's request.
I am Nphirea Balear.
I work as a pharmacist in this city.
This time, I plan to go to the forest near Carne Village to gather herbs.
Carne Village?
I would like you to guard me and help me collect herbs during the trip.
Guard you...
This is a bit troublesome.
I don't really have skills that protect a third party...
The reward will be the usual amount of—
Mr. Peter.
Do you have any interest in being hired by me?
What do you mean?
For a body guarding request, a ranger like Mr. Lukrut is necessary.
And if we are in a forest, wouldn't having a druid like Mr. Dyne be a useful addition?
Yes. You possess keen insight, Master Momon.
I don't mind at all.
We'd be grateful for the request!
I am all right with it as well.
Good.
Then, one last question.
Yes.
Why did you request me?
I just came to this town yesterday.
I have no friends here, much less acquaintances.
So, why?
Actually, I heard about what happened at the inn.
The inn?
Yes, I heard from a customer that you easily defeated upper ranked adventurers in a blink of an eye.
The person I normally request has recently moved to another town,
so I thought it was a perfect chance to try someone new.
I also thought it would be cheaper hiring a copper plate.
True.
Do you have any other questions?
No, we can leave anytime.
I don't think so, but if by chance...
I understand.
Then, let's go immediately.
E-Rantel Community Cemetery
Here!
I'm coming in!
Yo! I'm here to see you, Khaj!
You here?
Stop greeting me that way.
It's disrespectful to the honorable name of Zuranon.
So? What do you need?
I brought this for you!
That's a Crown of Wisdom, the proof of a shaman princess!
It's one of the great treasures of the Slane Theocracy!
That's right!
I stole it because a cute girl was wearing this weird thing and she totally went mad!
Hmph, you were once a member of the Black Scripture.
That is a sacred item that seals away the self of its wearer,
making a human item that spews forth high level magic.
You knew what would happen if you forced one off a shaman princess.
That's true.
And only one in a million people are compatible with that item.
Without a user, it's just a piece of junk.
That's why I was wondering if you'd help me as a fellow executive of the secret society, Zuranon.
Khajit Dale Badantel.
I have thrown away the name of Dale long ago.
And what kind of help do you need?
I heard there's a talent holder in town that can use any magic item!
I wonder if this item would work on him.
You wouldn't need my help just to kidnap a single person.
It's just that I want to create a huge mess as I go!
So you want to use chaos to escape.
So, what if I help you with your ritual in exchange, Khaj?
It's not a bad trade, right?
That's wonderful, Clementine!
Fine, I will help you!
Don't you gimme your love 'n passion!
Believe in love, even though there're borders and disturbance and more
I'm the only one who loves you
Because I'm crazy about you
Let's ride to hell, tsuijuu shite Go!
Let's ride to hell – I'll serve you as we go!
issho nara mushiro shinitai janai?
If we're together, I might not mind dying right here and now!
Beyond the line, hate nanka nai
Beyond the line, but there's no end
I swear, I'm gonna be so fucking grateful!
Blessing word, anata wa shikou
Blessing word! You are supreme!
meirei ni Your highness chuujitsu ni Follow
To your commands, I say, “Your highness”, as I faithfully follow.
You give orders, watashi wa shinai
You give orders, but I won't pass them off to anyone;
naniyori toutoi mono yo
You're more precious than anything to me!
I don't know why my love is crying
gyouchaku shitai kajou na kurai
I wanna stick to you, to an excessive degree...
towa ni naritai, Don't wanna cry
I wanna become eternal, don't wanna cry!
shitto mousou kuruisou yo
Jealous delusions – I feel like I'm going mad!
Don't you give me your love and passion?
ai towa boudoushoudou Let go
Love is a rebellious impulse, so let go!
kokoro ijou ni honnou heart made More youkyuu shitai
I wanna demand more than your soul – down to your instinctual heart!
I don't want to live in a world without you
anata igai no kono mirai o Kill it, kill it
Or any future other than yours, so I'll kill it, kill it
I would be happy to kill it for my love
I'm imaging now, if you're mine,
It's like a paradise and haven and more
You're the only man who I love
In my life and destiny and all
Don't you give me your love and passion?
I know the border. It should be wrecked, go
Next Episode
The adventurer Momon's first job was to escort the pharmacist Nphirea.
The team who accepted the job together with me, the Swords of Darkness,
have all kinds of personalities and abilities.
But they are still able to display excellent teamwork.
Seeing the bonds of those who entrusted their lives to each other,
I was touched by a bit of envy and began to remember my previous comrades in arms.
