Author's Note: By the Moon Cell the reception I've got for this story is astonishing. I really didn't anticipate this many wanting an Overlord Crossover in the Digital Human series! Well, it has made very happy to know that many of you believe in my writing capabilities! As for this story, per usual there will be Extraverse Servants, but this time the third is a Servant from another of the Fate Series. No Servants featured in other Digital Human stories will be summoned!
EDIT: The date of how long Hakuno has been in YGGDRASIL has been changed. There is no specific date any longer, I'll leave it up to you readers to determine for yourselves how long it's been.
Jmspikey: Thank you! I hope you enjoy it!
Alicemisuzu: No, Hakuno would not appreciate bloodshed, even though she had technically done it herself in the Moon Cell. Ainz would be mentally devastated if Hakuno left the Guild.
Xirons20: Hakuno-chan is a Supreme One! As for her Level, that remains a mystery.
Hnh05813: Regalia capabilities will be explained as the story progresses. But so far, it grants her immunity to single-target Tier Magic.
The Rupture: She's not so kind and gentle, but will try to keep Nazarick in check due to her morality. Ainz will likely be willing to listen to her.
Shadow of a Memory: Yep!
Student: All hail the Digital Supreme One! Hakuno has been in YGGDRASIL for a while. This take place after the. Flashbacks to YGGDRASIL's moments with Hakuno and Ainz will occur overtime. As for your recommendation, you make a solid point with Elizabeth and Medusa!
RyuujiVantek: Haha, Hakuno is one of the smartest people in Nazarick. But in her own way.
Sakaewmatsui: Why thank you! That makes me smile!
King of Fans: Yep! That always bothered me. What had sent them to the New World in the first place? Again, another solid point with Elizabeth! I might have her as Hakuno's Servants, haha.
A Supreme One, an Inheritor, an Victor, She is described in many things. But can the girl of the moon keep a new world from the destruction caused by her friends? Or will the distant star devour all before then?
Digital/Supreme One
Chapter 2: She Stands Above the World
Hakuno Kishinami listened patiently to Albedo's recounting of Momonga's actions since she collapsed into a coma. It had to be taken with a margin of error, the Overseer of the Floor Guardians described every detail with respect and worship that it made her friend seem like an unfathomable genius on par if not exceeding famous historical scholars on Earth. Of course, Hakuno knew this wasn't the case, but decided to keep that fact to herself until a later point. Momonga must have theorized that since the NPCs had changed so must it be possible their loyalties could be altered.
He had done very well in that case, his decisions were questionable but they kept Nazarick under a controlled grip to a certain degree, even if it was all under his roleplaying act. However, the magus disagreed with not having a closer eye on Demiurge, as knowing that character's backstory and alignment would imply a very sadistic and cruel individual under the keen intellect.
Though, some of those actions didn't completely fit Momonga… She'd have to ask him personally about that.
The Forty-Second Guild Member of Ainz Ooal Gown, Hakuno Kishinami, took another bite out of a delectable dish prepared for her specifically.
She had wanted to just eat whatever meal was prepared in the cafeteria, but none of the characters had even let her so much as let her sit in the tables there. Not understanding the circumstances yet, Hakuno had decided to follow through on their suggestions and head into one of the privatized dining halls and wait for her meal.
Clearly, Hakuno underestimated the former NPCs' loyalty and dedication to serve their creators. Even if Hakuno hadn't created them, she did help her other guild members with finalizing some aspects of their partially finished custom creations… Perhaps that, alongside her status as a guild member, placed their loyalty so highly on her?
Not on the level of Momonga, or Lord Ainz as he was called, whose position as the guild leader placed him above herself.
But that was it, he was the only person above her authority, there were no other of even equal status.
Regardless… This food spread was a bit much for her to eat… Even famished, she could probably only finish half of it.
Didn't stop her from trying everything, it was delicious.
Albedo continued, "Lastly, Lord Ainz had left for E-Rantel as Momon of Darkness two hours ago."
Hakuno placed down an empty glass, Cixous, the maid that had been assigned to her and whose name Hakuno was given, immediately refilled her drink with cold water.
She refused to drink alcohol, they had tried offering it first but Hakuno wouldn't try it, she wanted water.
"Did you contact him?" She asked.
"Not yet, I wished to confirm the [Message] I received about your awakening firsthand," Albedo answered.
The magus girl nodded in understanding, her face remained monotone, she had it very much practiced thanks to YGGDRASIL lack of expressions, an instance whereby her AI origins aided her.
"Shalltear…" Hakuno trailed off, so this New World had dangers that could mind control an undead character, Momonga assumed it had been a World-Class Item due to his [Shooting Star] cash item unable to function against the status effect but Hakuno had a few theories of her own. "I'll talk with Momonga about her, maybe I can figure something out."
Albedo nodded, "Out of all the Supreme Beings, the strategist will most certainly plan our method of counterattack!" She exclaimed in revere.
The Strategist?
Wait, that's what some of her friends jokingly referred to her as in YGGDRASIL due to her 'overwhelming PVP and PVE experience'.
That was because she had actual combat experience from the Moon Holy Grail War.
She placed down the silverware and wiped her mouth with the napkin, now that her stomach was satisfied and body's needs met, Hakuno can think clearly. Now that she looked, there were half left out of a dozen empty dishes.
Hakuno guessed that's what being in a coma did to someone.
"Am I keeping you from your duties, Albedo?" Hakuno questioned.
"Not at all, it gives me no greater pleasure than to serve the Supreme Beings," Albedo replied earnestly. "And perhaps one day, Lord Ainz shall reply to my heart's love for him."
Ah… Momonga did add that line… 'Has romantic feelings for Momonga.'
That probably gave him a major headache. Not her so much, her Servant in the Moon Cell had been eccentric…
"There are a number of objectives I wish to do today," Hakuno began. "First I'll check on each of the Floor Guardians except Victim and Gargantua. I doubt Momonga wants me on the 8th Floor, even if I wanted to check on Rubedo."
"I'm sure she would have been ecstatic to see one of her creators," Albedo answered.
She wasn't wrong, Hakuno Kishinami had helped work on Rubedo for Tabula's desire to create the strongest NPC using unconventional methods. While Rubedo wasn't exactly her creation, as the character had been created before Hakuno's arrival, the magus did tweak most of the programming per Tabula's request.
But enough on that.
"Also Pandora's Actor," Hakuno continued. "Then see this Carne Village you spoke about-"
"-I must object to this. You have only just awoken, Lady Kishinami." Albedo interrupted with a concerned but serious tone. "And as the youngest Supreme Being, I should not allow you to step outside Nazarick without Lord Ainz's permission."
Hakuno noticed the wording there, Albedo would not stop her but voiced her opinion and thoughts regardless.
Likewise, Hakuno noticed Shizu Delta, the Pleiades assigned as her bodyguard, agree with Albedo's concern with a simple expressive nod.
"Alright," Hakuno said, she might as well see what needed attention within Nazarick. Momonga had a habit of glossing over things if it gets too repetitive, but she had a keen eye for minor details. "I'll be in Momonga's place then, where does he manage Nazarick from?"
"The 10th Floor of Nazarick on [The Throne of Kings] is where Lord Ainz manages the Great Tomb. His public chambers is where he manages Nazarick's information, plans, and other necessary pieces that need his attention, anything lower than that he leaves to me." Albedo said.
She wouldn't need access to Nazarick's settings right now, if what Albedo's word implied, that World-Class Item is the only object capable of operating the whole of Nazarick's YGGDRASIL-related properties.
Hakuno Kishinami stood up and reflexively pushed her chair with manners. "The [Ring of Ainz Ooal Gown] functions still, correct?" She asked while baring said item on her finger.
Albedo responded, "Yes, Floor Guardians also have the item as gifts from Ainz. They offer more convenient teleportation throughout the tomb as he explained," She stroked her own ring lovingly, but knew that the only individuals that the items truly belonged too were the Supreme Beings, such as Lady Kishinami and Lord Ainz Ooal Gown.
"Then I'm heading to Momonga's public chambers," Hakuno said.
She didn't even need to switch on her magic circuits as the ring responded easily to mental command, causing her to vanish in a dim flash of light in the act of teleportation.
A white-skinned woman with black eyes and matching hair tied in a ponytail sat outside the back entryway of the city, E-Rantel, Guild building. She is Narberal Gamma of the Pleiades Battle Maids and was currently under the guise of Nabe, the Adamantite Adventurer companion of Momon in the group Darkness. She had completed the orders from her master, Lord Ainz Ooal Gown, to inquire about the circumstances leading to a lowly human girl's presence in E-Rantel from Carne Village.
The Supreme One currently was doing business inside and told her to stay put with his pet giant hamster which's name she didn't care to remember. She didn't voice any objection, as a loyal servant as herself held no right or intellect to speak in retort to their creators.
A chime noise echoed in her head, she recognized it immediately as [Message] connecting with her. Narberal quickly checked her surroundings, even in the back way like this, Lord Ainz had always told her to express caution.
Content in her check, Narberal answered respectively by lightly pressing two fingers to her ear, "Yes, Lady Albedo?"
Albedo spoke, ["Is Lord Ainz available, Narberal?"]
"Not at this moment, he is currently occupied," She answered. "Is this an emergency?"
Lord Ainz was unable to do magic while in his Momon disguise, so at times Narberal acted as the communicator between him and Nazarick.
["Lady Kishinami had awoken from her comatose state, inform Ainz when he's finished."] Albedo stated.
"Lady Kishinami has finally recovered!?" Narberal's excitement could be easily heard through [Message].
This was celebratory news for all of Nazarick's denizens. Especially for Narberal and her sisters in the Pleiades Maids, they had spent two months in the vicinity of Lady Kishinami's private chambers in daily rotation between who was available at the time.
It was a kept secret in the Pleiades that they all had to restrain themselves from even touching the youngest Supreme Being, even in a sleeping state, Lady Kishinami had a beauty and… Cuteness… Like no other.
The Homunculi Maids had it lucky that they were in the permission to care for the slumbering Supreme One's physical needs at the time.
Still, Narberal beat down the thought, one could never consider the thought of anything happening to their creators, even if fortunate, it should not be and was not a joyous occasion to care for Lady Kishinami's fallen state.
["Indeed! But we must not let our joy disrupt our work and subsequently Lord Ainz's plans. I'm sure when the free time comes, Lord Ainz will hold a celebration."]
"Ah, understood, Lady Albedo," It wouldn't do to be overly excited when it could disrupt her master's plans. As the Overseer said, the time will come such moments.
Albedo continued, ["Not to mention, we should keep this information secluded in Nazarick, so be cautious."]
Narberal realized what she meant, "I will give the information to Ainz in an isolated location."
The enemy that mind controlled Shalltear was still out there. Protocols created by Ainz and Albedo must be enforced.
The [Message] ended.
As if on cue, the back entranceway opened to reveal Momon, a tall human-like figure covered in armor. He closed the door behind him and walked up to Narberal.
"Lo-" She pause to correct herself for his disguise, "Mr. Momon, I have important news. But it requires an isolated location."
"Mhm," Ainz replied in his altered tone. "We're returning to Nazarick, I have words needing to be spoken to Beta."
Narberal felt a chill, like the cold touch of death, go through her entire being. The words the Supreme One spoke were not said in a positive light.
"Very well," Narberal replied.
Ainz threw something up, a spell of some sort, "There, now what did you wish to tell me?"
She noticed it has a silencing spell from prying ears.
"Lady Kishinami has recovered from her coma, Lord Ainz," She tried to keep it as calmly said as possible, but it still betrayed her joy.
"Heh… Hehahahahaha!" Ainz laugh bellowed with great mirth. "All the more reason to return!" His helmet was removed, revealing his skeletal face. He raised a hand, knowing nobody was around to see except for Narberal. "[Gate]."
A purple rip in space appeared before them, its size matching Ain's own. He walked into it and Narberal followed.
Hakuno Kishinami looked over the reports and papers that Momonga had on his desk, reading them thoroughly and picking out some key points that Momonga likely neglected to realize. It wasn't difficult and there weren't that many reports as she initially expected, likely due to Albedo mentioning beforehand that she managed most of Nazarick unless something specifically required Lord Ainz's attention.
Still…
She signed her name on one and also wrote a few notes on it, "This will improve Nazarick's financial stability a bit more," Hakuno stated and handed the paper to Albedo.
Albedo took the revised parchment, her eyes reading over her creator's additional notes, "As expected, your insights are such I didn't think of…"
Hakuno nodded, Albedo was intelligent, extremely so if her settings applied to her self-aware state. But intelligence didn't apply to everything, but rather specific branches that are, in Albedo's case, influenced by her position and background.
Albedo wasn't the Financial Manager, that fell to Area Guardian of the Treasury, Pandora's Actor.
The magus girl scratch marked another paper, voicing her denial in its implementation. It wasn't because of some moral reason, but rather because there were better alternatives.
Momonga had to do this over and over?
He was competent in it, but Hakuno knew Momonga didn't exactly enjoy it. Hopefully, she can help relieve some of that mental stress by taking over his job time to time.
The door into Momonga's public chambers opened, revealing the petite figure dressed in black evening dress with a large heavy skirt. Her eyes were crimson red, skin snow white, and hair colored a gentle silver, this was Shalltear Bloodfallen.
The Floor Guardian of the 1st through 3rd Floors of Nazarick.
"Ah! So it is true! Lady Kishinami has awoken!" Shalltear's voice held a regal tone in it despite her childish appearance. "Albedo, why didn't you tell me sooner!?"
"I had no reason too you, especially given your habits, such might be a bad influence for the youngest of the Supreme Ones," Albedo said.
Habits?
Wait, wasn't Shalltear created by a certain enthusiast of adultery-related media?
Well, wasn't like she hadn't dealt with something similar before.
"Never!" Shalltear said. "Though… I wouldn't mind sharing with her if she asked."
Albedo's face turned dark, "So that reply meant nothing?"
Shalltear grinned, "Don't tell me that you haven't been staring at Lady Kishinami since she awoke?"
"My love is for Lord Ainz, but I must watch over his kouhai with a caring eye."
"You don't deny it then?"
"Please stop," Hakuno commanded.
Only recently woken up and already she had two women arguing about her. So, this was what Momonga dealt with on a daily basis?
And now she was going to be included…
Why did this feel like deja vu?
