"Hmm." I sighed sitting on the tattered bed in my shack "It will happen soon."
"You seem troubled father." Entoma said.
"Fighting is trouble wouldn't you think?" I said "Especially for the other side who have no idea what they're in for."
She looked at me with a confused tilt to her head.
"Look at it this way, you have goals don't you?" I asked.
"…yes, I want to make You and Lord Ainz happy." She said "As well as seek out the other Supreme Beings."
"So if you died before you completed that?" I said "You would be upset right."
"…yes."
"Well for humans and the like when they go to war they also have goals, whether that be to win, or simply return home to someone that cares about them, a lover, a parent, a child." I tried to explain things to her "So when they don't get to go home, or fail their goal of course they would be upset to, and their family would be upset that they don't return, after all if I went out to assist Lord Ainz and was killed, you'd be sad that I did not return."
"I think I get it."
"Good you're learning more and more every day." I patted her head "That makes me happy my dear."
She hugged me before leaving "Yes Father."
The bigger fight was going to be coming soon, the battle was merely days away and I was a little worried. If Lakyus somehow ended up there I wouldn't be saving her this time, I couldn't not in front of people but it was more than that.
We'd been held up in the tomb so long something about getting so public and rising to the surface worried me. We'd been afforded a lot of freedom by being unknown, sure there were some limitations but I worried being public even with a show of strenght would put undue attention on us.
"This will be our turning point." I hummed biting on my fingers "Things will change from this point on, dramatically so."
I turned to a beaker over a flame and thought.
"My experiments will increase, but at the cost of what." I wondered out loud "It's exciting but terrible…this blasted contradictory morality."
