Hello helloo,
I am back again with another chapter, though I really should not say mine as this is another chapter written solely by my beta-reader and editor. All I did was read it for him and spellchecked so he deserves all the credit for this chapter, he has written one chapter for me before and he will likely be writing a few more in the future for some other characters that I would not personally write. He is also in the process of rewriting hit first chapter, so that will come out at some point in the near future.
While on the topic of rewrites I am also going to be rewriting a few chapters pretty soon, one will be the first chapter with Peroroncino and Shalltear during their first time, the second will be Albedo's chapter as well as I will be the first to admit that is the weakest chapter in my opinion. Now these chapters will be redone but still follow the main premise, mostly meaning I will be adding more scenes, positions and deeper detail. I may also add more of these additions to other chapters like the one that features Zesshi for example and add a scene at the end with her and Shalltear testing her Rubix Cube for the first time. If you have any ideas for small segments to add to any chapter that I have written so far please let me know and I may include them!
Now enjoy the chapter, there will be another one out tomorrow too!
The adventurer group, Darkness, consisting of Peroroncino, Momonga, Lupusregina, and Narberal, all in disguise, entered the adventurer's guild as they were short on money. The girl at the counter sighed in relief as the adamantite adventurers who defeated the vampire stopped by.
"We are in need of a quest," the raven black warrior stated coldly.
"Well, we have an adamantite quest that just came in, we are in need of a particular herb that grows in the Forest of Tob, it is… quite dangerous, we estimate it to take a week at the least."
"Let us… think over it," the archer stated before pulling his comrades outside, "I recommend we have Aura and Hamsuke join us and lead us to that herb, we can probably do it in… one day, maybe two?"
"Yes! Jin~su"
"I agree, the money would pay well and it doesn't seem too difficult…"
"I agree with Sir Momon."
"It's settled then, let's head out immediately."
The group returned to their room at the inn before using [Gate] to enter the Great Forest of Tob, Narberal sending a message to Aura to bring the giant hamster and herself to the Great Forest. After waiting for a few minutes, the dark elf child and the massive hamster called out to the adventurers, "Lord Momonga! Lord Peroroncino!"
"Aura, you're finally here…"
"Aura! Hurry up!"
"Yes, yes, Lord Peroroncino, Momonga!"
"I am here too, that I am!"
"Hmmm, we have called you two here to navigate this forest, we need to find a rare herb found in this forest."
"Understood, Lord Momonga! We'll get right on it!"
The skeleton mounted the hamster, as Aura's beasts, Fenrir and Quadracile, allowed the pleiades and Peroroncino onto them while Aura hopped between the trees.
"M'lords, I can guide the way through the old area, beyond that though is of slight concern, that it is."
"Yes, we know, we have a map but it is old, so I feel uneasy relying on it…"
"I-is that true?"
"But it's fine, Aura is here…"
"Ah- that is true! Forgive me I beg!"
"Forgiven."
The group rode for a good 40 minutes, before Momon called out to everyone, "Alright, let's stop here for today"
"Hmmm? What shall we do Lord Momonga? Set a marker here and return to Nazarick?"
"No, I think we shall camp out tonight, it wouldn't be bad to spend a night here."
"Hey Aura, anything noticed by the perimeter watch?"
"No, Lord Peroroncino, the only things that the perimeter beasts have spotted are weak monsters."
"I see… no signs of Slane Theocracy refugees…"
"Milords? Are there escorts guarding us in the vicinity?"
"Yep! Twelve beasts! I had them surround us after we entered the forest… you didn't notice?"
"Incredible, s-so they are! But that is within my grasp of understanding! I know fully well how much stronger Milords and their guardians are to one as myself. Its no wonder I can't sense those who serve them with my ability."
"Yeah~ I picked the ones most outstanding in the field as my pets… it might not be possible for you, so don't mind it, don't mind it… So, Lord Momonga, will we be bivouacking tonight?"
"Yes, is there an open area nearby? We may need to watch for a night raid."
"P-Please wait a moment! Ermmm… Ah! That way! 227 meters in a straight distance. Huh, on the map thats…" She pulled out the map and looked at it. "Ah, I think that's the place!"
"Let me see, Aura."
"Of course Lord Peroroncino!"
He vaguely remembered the guild saying something about the area being ideal for bivouacking.
"Aura, were there any traces of monsters or sentient creatures?"
"No, there weren't, no such signs. There aren't any artificial structures either…"
"Let's go then, everyone." the armored skeleton led the group to the clearing
Later that night, at the campsite, "Hamsuke, halt."
"Yes, milord!"
"This place… It has been cleaned away too neatly… was it manmade, or did it become like this naturally, Aura?"
"Mm… I'm not sure to that extent… But it's true there are no sentient creatures, Lord Momonga"
"Well, it's fine, let's set up a bivouac at the outskirts of this clearing, Aura, make it so the beasts won't come near us. If there are living beings nearby, I don't want them attacking us."
"Understood!"
"Milord, there are no tents or anything, what do you plan on doing?"
"Lets see… if possible, so that the inhabitants not be disturbed, maybe a cottage…"
Momonga's hand reached into his inventory as Hamsuke screamed in shock as her master's hand disappeared, only to pull out a Green Secret House, a base building class item.
"Now, Aura, go head in first."
"Can I really?! Thank you Lord Momonga!"
"Peroroncino, our camp is set up why don't you call it a night?"
"I'll be right over, just double checking everything."
Aura rushed into the Green Secret House, shocked at everything created by the item.
"What's wrong Hamsuke, are you not going in?"
"Milord, is it okay for this one to go in as well?"
"Of course, it is made with magic, so its inside is more spacious than its exterior. Listen, you can hear her."
"Woah~! So roomy~! As expected of Lord Momonga! Hurry up and get in as well, Hamsuke~"
"Th-Then I shall head in as well…"
The door contorted to fit Hamsuke's enlarged body.
"Even the entrance changes to the size of this one's body!"
The group all entered the cabin as Momonga started assigning rooms, "Hamsuke, you shall sleep in this hall for now."
"Yes, understood, Milord!"
"Lord Momonga, the rooms are all the same."
"Well, yes… what will you all be doing for dinner? As you know, I don't eat."
"Ah, it's fine if I don't eat as well… No need for food or rest! I have the Ring of Sustenance equipped."
"I see… I suppose it's time to equip Hamsuke with various items and equipment to strengthen her."
"Hmmm? Why is that Milord?"
"It's because you are his mount, if you are attacked or targeted, you should be defended," The birdman said as he stepped out of his room with Lupusregina in tow, one of her ears sticking out of her hat as she straightened out her uniform, a small smile and bright blush on her face as she clung to Peroroncino's arm, he stepped out to discuss their plans for the morning.
"That's right Lord Peroroncino! Defense and Physical Ability boosting items, mind control countermeasure, movement deterrent countermeasure, time stop countermeasure, uhh what else… eh, Supreme Ones, it appears someone is walking this way."
"Hmm? Where did they appear from, is it teleportation?"
"I do not know, but it was sudden, if it was hiding, it would have to be high level to avoid my senses."
"Hoh? Intriguing… Everyone on guard!"
"Understood, if it's hostile, I'll kill it with all my strength, to show I can hold my own, unlike that idiot, Shalltear."
"Aura…"
"Sorry Lord Peroroncino…"
"It may always be an inhabitant of this forest, so let's not jump to conclusions, everyone."
"Understood, Lord Momonga!"
"Okay… Hamsuke."
"Yes my lord!"
"You will only get in the way, hide in here. Escape to the forest if it is destroyed, we will contact you later."
"M-Milord wants me to hide? Understood…"
"Aura, augment yourself with your skill, avoid effects that will affect the opponent. It hasn't shown an act of definite hostility yet."
"Understood!"
"Peroroncino, prepare to provide cover fire."
"You got it"
"Now, I'll send an eye out, [Floating Eye]! Aura, tell me the target's location so I may guide the eye."
"Yes, go out straight from the exit and there should be a tall tree, it is the second tree to the right from there."
"Hmmm, this is… a forest spirit, a dryad?"
"Did you say dryad? This is my time to shine!"
"Peroroncino, stay back, we do not know their hostility yet. Is it an inhabitant of here? It doesn't seem to be hostile..."
"Is that so, Lord Momonga?"
"Peroroncino, you are the womanizer, you go say hello to the dryad."
"Don't need to tell me twice"
The birdman vanished from the visible forest and followed Aura's directions to the dryad.
"Hey there, dryad, I'm not an enemy! My friends and I would like to use this place as a campsite, as we are travelers. We mean you no ill will, we will leave if you ask us to."
The birdman unhesitantly approached the nature spirit.
"So, will you give us permission to camp here?"
"Uhmm, you're a bird man, right? Y-your friends are a dark elf, and three humans?"
"What of it, would you not allow us to camp based on our race?"
"Eh… no it's not like that!"
"Well, before that, could you show yourself?"
The dryad timidly approached from the trees, while Momonga watched with his eye.
"I just thought maybe the ones who were here before returned… I made a promise with them."
"Before? Do you mean the ones with Lofan as their leader?"
"Lofan?"
"They came… when? If it was decades, then it should be Lofan's group."
"De-eh-cades? That would be how many sunrises?"
"Ah, I see that dryads use a different measurement of time…"
"The person I made a promise with came when the sun was coming up many times, three young humans, a tall person, a person with wings, an old human, and a dwarf, a total of seven."
"Definitely not Lofan's party, he had five and was with a second mythril team… no winged people to my knowledge aside from myself, as a birdman. So no, I don't know this team of seven, but what was that promise you made with them?"
"Uh, Uhhh ummm, That's… well it should be ok, they promised to defeat the arbor mala that will destroy this world."
"Arbor Mala? Tree of Evil… thanks Tabula for your endless speeches in latin...would it happen to be a plant type monster?"
"Yea, right, right. That seems like it. I've heard it being called a twisted treant before. Um, a long time ago, when I was yet to be born, a very very long time ago, a storm of monsters came raining through the sky to the ground. Although those monsters were capable of destroying the world, on par with the dragon lords, they were all eliminated in the end… However it's been told that some were just injured and fell into a deep slumber, sealed away, or so they say. One of those monsters is in this forest. What's worse, sometimes a part of it wakes up and goes wild, like a branch extending outward. When it last rampaged, the seven-member party gave it a real beating. The arbor ma- no the leader of the seven-member group gave it a name… what was it..."
"A tree monster with the power to destroy the world… interesting."
"Ah, Zy'tl Q'ae, a type of zakuro whatchamacallit."
'Zy'tl Q'ae? Doesn't sound familiar… it isn't english, and it isn't borrowed from mythology… Likely not a player, fighting it might be fun, but it might be risky…
" 'Someday, its actual body will awaken for real, so when that time comes, we'll come here once more and defeat it' was the promise… they made... They had promised…"
"I see… so basically, the evil tree's awakening is near, huh?"
"Yes! You know really well! It's sucking the life out of the nearby trees for its body to rise up… I can hear the screams of the withering plants..."
"Aura said there was a place with withered trees in the forest…"
"Eh, what is it, do you know something? It'd be great if you knew the whereabouts of the seven membered group. "
"We don't know where that group is, but Zy'tl Q'ae will awaken soon, right?"
"Uhh, yeah, it's only a matter of time before it revives… when the next sun is up, or the one after… or it might be even later, but soon it will be revived in its complete form."
"I see… let me discuss this with my team, I suggest you come along if they have questions."
"Y-yes."
The dryad followed Peroroncino back to the camp, they quickly soon discussed if they should let it run wild to see anyone strong enough to defeat it, and the dangers of letting a threat so close to Nazarick run wild, and if they can covertly defeat it.
"EHHH, d-defeat it, you guys? The enemy is an evil tree capable of destroying the world! Even the seven member group that came last time struggled to fight a part of it!"
"Then what do you suggest?" The raven black warrior asked.
"Eh, mmm~ No choice but to pray a powerful dragon shows up?"
"And if that powerful dragon doesn't show up?"
"EHHHH!? Guess I'll have to give up… After all it's impossible for me to be away from my main tree for too long."
"Then leaving the matter to us shouldn't be that bad."
"Well you got a point. You guys seem somewhat skilled, and depending on the case, it wouldn't be so bad for you to go searching for the seven member group."
"Understood. However, there is a condition."
"A condition?"
"Yes, but before that, I will ask you three questions. According to your previous comment, you can't be away from your main tree body for too long. For example, if that tree were to move, you would have to move there as well?"
"For a human, you ask a strange question. Well, yeah. that's the case."
"I see. Then next question, is there a race like yours in the area?"
"Huh~ There isn't aside from me… maybe one might be born if enough time passes."
"I see. Then third, the last question, will be asked by my friend."
"Ahem, the third question is if you will become our subordinate."
"Haah? Haah!? Lord Momonga, Peroroncino, why this thing? Is it ok to move this to Nazari- that place?"
"'This thing' is a bit harsh… I was on friendly terms with your race once, you know… Although, I've been unable to meet them lately…"
"Aura"
"Y-yes Lord Momonga!"
"While there is nothing at loss from making her a subordinate, we have judged that we may suffer a loss if we do not do so. Furthermore, our old comrades like Blue Planet and Touch Me wouldn't have had much objection to this decision."
"I-I have no objection as well! I shall obey as you command!"
"No, Aura, let us hear if you have a complaint or objection, since this dryad will likely reside on your floor if we make her a there be a problem?"
"Eh, It's not like I've decided to become your subordinate…"
"Hmmm~ let's see… No, it won't be a problem."
"I see, so then, dryad, have you made up your mind? We will move you and your main tree body from here if you choose to be our underling. That way an evacuation is possible even in the worst scenario."
"N-no, look, being called an underling out of nowhere is a bit…"
"What, no need to take it that seriously, however, we would be happy if you would, Peroroncino especially knowing him. We do not mean to threaten you, it is just hard to guarantee your safety if you don't. Apologies if the evil tree goes out of control, but we would have to leave you here."
"That's clearly a threat! But, well, the probability of you guys winning against the evil tree is low, so in a sense of evacuating… and I don't want to wither and die here, too… as I thought, looks like there really is only one option… I don't really mind if it's that much. But you have to give the tree tasty water where there's plenty of proper sunlight. Also, I'll refuse if it has something like parasitic creatures."
"Good, then the contract is sealed. We shall guarantee your safety in exchange for your servitude, first off, could you guide us to where the evil tree is tomorrow? We will defeat it if possible; if not, we will evacuate you and search for that group of seven."
"Okay, got it, so, my contractors, what are your names? Mine is Pinison Pol Perlia."
"I am the ruler of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, leader of the guild Ainz Ooal Gown, Momonga."
"I am the Winged King of Explosive Strikes, member of Ainz Ooal Gown, Peroroncino."
"Ummm, Lord Momonga, if that dryad didn't accept becoming your underling just now, were you going to kill her?"
"I simply would not have guaranteed her safety. To say it more accurately, her body may not have been safe, however, she came to know our true names. Then… you understand, right?"
"Understood. I will not let it betray you. If it ever does, then…"
"That will not be necessary, Aura."
"Lord Peroroncino?"
"If she is unruly, I will take it upon myself to teach her her place."
In the morning, after the night of first encounter, Pinison led the others through the forest, leading to a dying area, the trees wilted, the grass dead.
"Here, this is the place."
"Aura, what do you think?"
"Yes, there's no doubt about it. This is it."
"Very well, let's proceed with caution."
"Umm, where would the birdman, Peroroncino-"
"Lord Peroroncino."
"Y-yes, sorry, where would Lord Peroroncino be?"
"He is scouting invisibly from the skies, why do you ask?"
"I don't know why, but I trust him and the dark elf most of your group, no offense."
"None taken, he is a fellow person of natural forestry, as are the dark elves like Aura, it is only natural you feel closer to them than to the rest of us."
"And those two girls?"
"The pleiades have returned to Nazarick to report our whereabouts, and so they do not get in our way. Though another task has been checked off the list, looks like we failed at our task."
"Oh yea, I never asked, what were you doing out here in the first place?"
"That's no way to speak to Lord Momonga, you-"
"It is fine. I came here to find an herb said to be able to cure any illness."
"A herb, huh...? But that's definitely… Eh~, that might be difficult."
"What is it? Do you have an idea?"
"Well, you see, what you are looking for is…"
"Ah, I see what it is. The herb is located on the evil tree."
"Yea, you're right…"
"Hah… looks like confrontation is certain, Lord Momonga."
"Ominous premonitions tend to be mostly right, it seems. So, where is the evil tree? All I see is dead and withered trees."
"It's in the center of this dried up place."
"Hmm, to this one there does not seem to be anything, there does not."
"Right, I'm not detecting anything as well."
"Hmmm… [Message] 'Peroroncino, have you spotted the evil tree?'"
"No, if my sister were here, we could use her aggro drawing to lure it out if it's hiding…"
"I got an idea, thanks, Peroroncino"' [Message end]. "Aura, you can use a skill for targeting correct?"
"Ahh~ That skill draws in an enemy's attention, so I think it'd aggro everyone within range, but… If the enemy was hiding, there might be some kind of reaction."
"Hm? Hold on a second. Doesn't that have the possibility of forcibly waking up the evil tree?"
Momonga thought to himself 'that was the idea, if it really can destroy worlds, fighting it on our terms while it is not at full strength would be a good idea' but ultimately stated, "You're right, we will prioritize getting the herb and-"
A loud rumble echoed through the decayed clearing, Momonga let out a sigh, Peroroncino drawing his bow, and Aura preparing a battle stance, Hamsuke and Pinison were frozen in terror at what had burst forth from the ground.
"We are changing our plan," the warrior said as he drew his twin jet black swords.
"Uwah... that thing is… huge," the dryad whimpered as she cowered behind the group.
"It is bigger than a Gargantua, ain't that right, Peroroncino?"
"Definitely," the archer responded as he landed next to Momonga.
"T-T-The main body has come back to life! W-we're doomed"
"T-tis enormous milord…"
"Heh, a giant tree over 100 meters in height, six giant tentacles made of the branches, I'd say… 300 meters long, reminds me of that raid we did in Alfheim when we were level 50 or so, eh Momonga."
"Ah, yes, I remember that treant, if this is anything like that one, it should be a piece of cake."
"Why are you analyzing this so calmly? Wh-what do we do..?"
"It is similar to that treant, Peroroncino, but not quite the same as in YGGDRASIL. Zy'tl Q'ae… huh, everyone, stay on guard."
The evil tree uprooted the withered trees from around it and began to consume them.
"It eats trees? In other words an herbivore?" the skeleton was confused at the shocking revelation, "That can't be the case, its teeth are too sharp to only eat plants."
"Lord Momonga! I see the herb!" the dark elf yelled out to the dark clad warrior, "It's there! On top of that bulgey spot on the monster's head!"
"So that moss is what we were looking for, huh. I am honestly baffled as to what it is."
The dryad began to panic, "Hey, you guys, this is no time to be chatting around! We have to get out of here, I never thought it would be this massive! There's nothing we can do now!"
"Aura, can you roughly determine its power with your skill?"
"Ah, Lord Momonga, I'm working on it right now. It's almost… I got it! It has a tri-level color difference, so I believe its level is from 80 to 85! Specialized in health, which is off the charts."
"Health beyond the measuring marks, eh, looks like we'll have to pound it extra, eh Momonga?"
"Well, it's not a raid boss at least, if Aura's skill works as normal, it should be accurate, so having them on standby wasn't in vain after all."
"Lord Momonga, are we fighting?!" The elf jumped up with joy in her eyes.
"W-w-w-wait, why are you just talking amongst yourselves, ignoring my words? We'll be in for a mess if we stick around much longer!"
That struck a nerve in Aura, "Hey, you kindling over there. BE QUIET."
The dryad froze in place as Hamsuke approached, "Pinison… Perlia was it? For now, since you have become milords' subordinate, how about we stay quiet over there. Here, here, let us go. There is also the possibility of losing your life if you incur Lady Aura's wrath with matters regarding milords. You should never act insolent to them."
"U-understood."
The two walked over to a secluded area away from the chaos while Aura returned to her normal cheery self, "Sorry for that, Lord Momonga."
"No, I do not mind. It is best we keep them out of danger, as it seems we have been noticed," the tree roared with anger as it spotted the group.
"It appears so, what should we do? Should I kill it straight away with my beasts?"
"No, Peroroncino, your input?"
"It could be a nice practice test on the floor guardians' cooperation, maybe my sister would like to watch too."
"Hmm, I was thinking the same, [Message] 'Albedo.'"
'Yes, Lord Momonga, we have received your voice.'
'Has everyone assembled?'
'Everybody has finished preparations, Lady Bukubukuchagama is also present to watch this trial. Now, with your word, we shall hasten to the sides of you and Lord Peroroncino wherever and whenever.'
'Then, have Shalltear open a [gate], use it to get here at once.'
A purple ring appeared before them, out stepped a pink slime, who slithered over to the two supreme beings, a black armored woman with a bardiche, a man with an armored tail, a second dark elf, a large bipedal insect warrior with frost breath, and a petite vampire in a blood red suit of armor carrying a large spear like weapon, all of the former bowing to the three up front, Aura bowing as well."
"Albedo, Demiurge, Mare, Cocytus, Shalltear, good work, all of you."
The demon stood up, adjusting his glasses, "To your summons, I will come forthwith."
Next stood the insect, releasing a burst of cold air, "Demiurge. Is. Right. Please. Order. Us. To. Your. Content."
The shy elf stood third, his legs crossed, "I-it's really nothing, Lord Momonga, I am happy following your words."
The red clad vampire stood next, her spear as long as she was tall, yet she wielded it as if it was nothing, "Truly, righteous words."
"Is that so? You have my thanks."
"We. Are. Unworthy. Of. Your. Gratitude."
"H-he's right, Lord Momonga. Ummm we are fine with any order you give us."
"Ahem, however, this one I have to say. Demiurge, I am causing you trouble by calling you out now and then."
"I am the faithful servant of the Supreme Beings, as such, my masters' words are my first priority. Please not think of yourselves as an inconvenience and act freely. Ah, that reminds me, as regard to your order about parchment."
"Ah yes, normal parchment is not compatible with our inscribing techniques, they can't even hold a first tier spell without burning up. We need a way to work that out… Have you found substitute materials like hides?"
"Yes, in that regard I have collected a few and handed them over to the chief librarian, they should be experimenting now, and should have you your results by the time this matter is taken care of."
The two low ranking subordinates were still in their hiding spot, the dryad having a mental breakdown at the thought of a world destroying tree being resurrected, questioning why the group was just standing there chatting. The hamster responded by stating that the dryad has a narrow perspective, explaining how they are taking their time to devise a plot. The dryad called bullshit, saying they'd get stepped on, saying that none of them even looked strong aside from the insect and the red armored one, how most of them aren't armed at all and the dark elves are mere children. The hamster merely sighed and called her ignorant, making the dryad throw a fit at the insult.
Momonga kept discussing with Demiurge if he could use the hides to make scrolls, before breaking away to explain the mission.
"That is your objective, Zy'tl Q'ae, estimated level 85, health beyond the charts, I only have one order for you, Guardians: take down that monster."
"Lord. Momonga. I. Have. A. Question."
"Yes, Cocytus."
"Yes. If. That. Is. Our. Opponent. Shouldn't. Any. One. Of. Us. Be. More. Than. Enough. To. Defeat. Them. What. Is. The. Purpose. Of. Bringing. All. The. Guardians. Out. Here."
"Lord Momonga, is the first person to defeat it the victor?"
"That is not it, Shalltear. Its-"
The tree roared, interrupting the undead lord.
"How annoying, be quiet. Skill activate: Frost of Judecca!" the demon snarked, as the tree froze in place.
The dryad screamed as the tree froze, confused as to how the being was stopped, even temporarily, only for Hamsuke to tell her to shush, as not all of the guardians were as forgiving as Aura. The dryad did not listen as she questioned how the tailed man was able to freeze Zy'tl Q'ae, only for Hamsuke to retort by saying she might be the next one being frozen, which quickly shut her up again.
Albedo noticed the noisy dryad, asking Momonga as to what that thing was, as Momonga said she was a new servant and to ignore her for now, before explaining that the reason they were called was to see their coordination as a team.
"I see, Lord Momonga, I understand."
"Very well, Albedo, we shall watch from the backlines, and all of you make sure not to use your equipment too much, as I'd like to see your powers."
"Understood, Lord Momonga."
"Especially, Mare, try not to do too many area wide attacks."
"Y-yes Lord Momonga."
"Aura. explain the herb to everyone."
"Of course."
The tree burst free from its frozen prison, as Demiurge made a sly remark about him thinking it weak, without a time countermeasure. Cocytus ran to the vanguard, causing Shalltear to chase after him, Aura chasing after her, before Albedo stopped all three of them. The tree prepared for a downward smash, which Shalltear easily deflected by using a skill, making the dryad to believe she was seeing things. Shalltear and Cocytus affirmed to each other before running off for an attack, for Aura to tell them to stop since her skills would be hitting soon, but they were too late, making Shalltear mad at Aura for using her skills so early, while Cocytus griped about his Exoskeleton being cut. The tree was stopped in place from Aura's Shadow-Piercing Arrow, so Cocytus activated Achalanata to blow away the lower half of Zy'tl Q'ae.
The dryad was in awe of the rain of rainbow arrows launched by Aura, praising the dark elf, before stating that it shouldn't have done much damage due to arrow resistance. The hamster quipped that even if that were the case, Zy'tl Q'ae was screaming, which Pinison chocked up to it being startled at the arrows landing at its base, explaining why it stopped. Hamuske rebutted with the fact that it sounded like pain rather than shock.
Albedo and Demiurge scowled at Aura, Shalltear, and Cocytus, for not hearing their master's intentions, though it at least wouldn't die so easily due to its large health pool, so Demiurge suggested letting them be until its health was cut down. This enraged Albedo, asking him to rethink Momonga's words and say that again to her, while she may be property of Peroroncino now, she still held Momonga's word as law. Demiurge apologized and stated that Momonga wanted them to work as a team. Albedo was livid that the three were acting on their own, not listening to their masters, when two of their creators were watching their acts, she asked Mare to attack Shalltear and Cocytus without damaging Zy'tl Q'ae, so as to make the pair listen. Demiurge interrupted Albedo as Cocytus was preparing a Wisdom King Strike, no, an Immovable Wisdom King Strike, changing her plan, Albedo asked the small child to send her flying to them instead.
Albedo launched at Cocytus, preparing two of her tank skills, preparing to block the attack, crushing her left hand in the process, Albedo ignored it, as her regeneration began to work, she berated Cocytus for ignoring their lord's words, before berating all three of them for not working as a team, she reasoned that Shalltear didn't engage, and Aura bound it down, but Cocytus… he went in for a killing blow. She made Cocytus carry her back as the four returned to their position with Mare and Demiurge.
Pinison was excited to see the Immovable Wisdom King Strike, only for Albedo to block it, confusing the dryad as to why the woman would defend Zy'tl Q'ae, Hamsuke stated there had to be some reason for it, but Pinison just ranted about how that actually would have done damage to it.
The two genius demons explained to the other guardians the plan of how to enact Momonga's will, not to demonstrate individual power, but to demonstrate cooperation and power as a team. Shalltear muttered that she thought the one who did the most damage would receive praise from their lords, specifically hoping Peroroncino would praise her, making Albedo feel how wonderful that would be, before regaining her thought and correcting Shalltear's mindset. Demiurge butted in stating that they most likely presented this challenge to prepare for a situation the guardians could not defeat, to which Cocytus nodded in understanding, realizing his foolishness. Demiurge further explained the usefulness of cooperation as they now had World Class Items which they could not lose, so teaming up to prevent one from being taken would be beneficial.
The suited demon began to assign roles to the guardians, Albedo as shield, Cocytus and Shalltear as offense, Aura as distraction, Demiurge as the one to retrieve the herb, and Mare as support and healing, specifically denying the use of World Items, only permitting it if the opponent wields a similar item or specifically ordered to. They set off to battle the tree, Shalltear and Cocytus discussed their plan of attack, Zy'tl Q'ae beginning to move once more, Cocytus insulted the intelligence of the creature for not understanding its difference in power, only for Mare to correct him in saying that there are plant monsters with intelligence, such as ones on the twins' floor. Shalltear thought to herself that her disgraceful act while mind controlled is the reason for this test, only for Aura to try cheering her up before slapping Shalltear across the cheek, telling her to leave it as the past, Momonga said he was at fault, so to ignore his words was heresy. The elf continued to insult the vampire until she admitted she was wrong, making remarks about her chest and size to get under Shalltear's skin before Albedo broke the two apart.
The supreme beings watched from a good distance away, Peroroncino and Bukubukuchagama having snacks in hand, while Momonga had nothing, as he could not eat, but the three, in no disguises or illusion, just watched the show before them. Peroroncino and Bukubukuchagama snickered at the argument, reminding them of their old lives, always arguing with each other for some reason or another, the elf and vampire really were just like their creators.
Zy'tl Q'ae roared, approaching the Guardians, as they assumed their battle positions, Albedo, activating her Parry deflected an incoming tentacle attack. Pinison, a mere spectator, assumed that she was sure to be dead, wielding only a bardiche, questioning how no one stopped her, how no one helped her. Hamsuke just replied that no one thought she'd die from an attack like that, only for Pinison to look and see the woman throwing the tentacle to the side, laughing to herself. Demiurge took his half demon form, resembling a frog, and flew above the battle, while Shalltear and Cocytus prepared for a forward assault. Demiurge activated Aspect of the Devil: Stout Demon's Gigantic Arms, growing his arm to massive size, before punching away one of the tentacles, pushing it away, but not dealing much damage. Demiurge called out to the twins for support, providing physical reinforcement skills and enhancement skills.
Pinison began to twitch her eye as she couldn't believe what she was seeing, the woman just stood up after such a powerful attack, and then the man with a tail blew the tentacle away, questioning if she was dreaming, despite being unable to sleep since she was a spirit. Hamsuke bluntly negated that remark, stating that it was indeed reality, and it wasn't that out of the question for them to do such impressive feats beyond anything they had previously seen.
"This is impossible, it's illogical, that tree capable of destroying the world just had a strength competition with that girl and guy."
"It just means they are stronger than it then, does it not?"
"No, no, no, no, no, no, That's impossible! Where are those two running off to!?"
"Above the tentacles it seems, they are quite fast after all."
"Run after thinking about common sense!"
The tree roared throughout the forest as Cocytus and Shalltear devised a plot to attack the remaining three tentacles. Cocytus drew his halberd as they ran, Shalltear readied her lance, and the tree prepared to smash them to smithereens, but Cocytus used Smite Frostburn to freeze and shatter the tentacle, activating Laser Edge and Rakshasa while Shalltear summoned her Einherjar and charging with her Spuit lance, each destroying one of the remaining two tentacles, leaving only the body. Suddenly, Albedo used her skill, Transposition to swap her and Cocytus's places, making Pinison start to get used to their power, as much as she still couldn't handle it, Hamsuke congratulated her for achieving acceptance. However, Pinison wasn't okay, she laughed at how the insect and girl were able to blow away three of the tentacles, leading Hamsuke to question the actual strength of the original group of seven, leading Hamsuke to realize she was just getting accustomed to Nazarick's power compared to her own, stating furthermore, that her lords and lady were stronger than the six guardians currently fighting, affirming it when Pinison questioned her.
Albedo activated Missile Parry and Counter Arrow from her new position next to Shalltear, as Zy'tl Q'ae began to fire seeds, reflecting the seeds into the tree's trunk, making it screech in pain. Albedo called to Demiurge, explaining that Shalltear will reduce its health, and ordered Demiurge to retrieve the herb. Demiurge used Aspect of the Devil: Arachnid Celerity, leaping into the air before flying to retrieve the target. Shalltear thanked Albedo for letting her attack the main body, Albedo replied stating it was their mission to act as a team, so it should take priority over their argument over who would become first wife to a supreme being, be it Peroroncino or Momonga. Shalltear took flight with her Spuit Lance, charging and piercing Zy'tl Q'ae, which would take time even for the divine weapon. Albedo reported to the supreme beings their status via [Message], to which Momonga replied that he would be delivering the final blow to provide a magnificent spectacle, he stepped onto the battlefield in his normal necromancer robes, making pinison scared that she just swore fealty to an undead for protection, a being that resents life, but rather than displaying that fear, she laughed, as her mind had been basically broken by what she was seeing. Hamsuke congratulated Pinison on her being accustomed to the power, stating she should do well in Nazarick, as there are many similarly strong monsters there, which made her question everything all over again before laughing with insanity before collapsing, leaving Hamsuke to realize she wasn't used to it yet.
"The whole world stops in motion [Extend Magic: Time Stop]! Now then, do you know what a Christmas Tree is?"
"Yes, Lord Momonga, we have never seen one, but we know the word."
"Even during the time stop, you know that you can inflict certain magic which does not inflict direct damage. [Triplet Magic] and [Drifting Master Mine]!"
Mare watched in awe as the mines drifted to the frozen tree, the other supreme beings preparing for the show.
"Now, time will soon flow once more," the mines hit their mark and explode, "and once more, [Extend Magic: Time Stop]!"
Demiurge saw what the leader of the supreme beings was doing, stopping time at the moment of the magics' activation, leaving the explosions to shine like stars upon the tree.
"This is what you call a Christmas Tree, do you not find it surprisingly similar?"
"Of course Momonga, it's just as beautiful as the ones in the games my idiot brother plays."
"Oi sis! Let's not forget that you voiced a lot of those games, making them unplayable for me."
"Yes, yes, whatever, let's just watch the show that Momonga is putting on for us."
"Lord Momonga, it is beautiful, truly marvelous."
"Thank you, Albedo, now… for the final touch, it needs a star tree-topper. Peroroncino, would you do the honors, or should I use a [Meteor Fall]"
"I'd be honored to put a sun on top of the tree, Momonga."
Peroroncino flew up and approached Zy'tl Q'ae, drawing his bow and releasing the small sun, only for it to stop in place, lighting the top of the tree further.
"Wow, there's a Mr Star on top of the tree!"
"That's right Aura, dear, here, you and Mare can hop up on my shoulders to get a better view."
"Th-thank you Lady Bukubukuchagama."
"Thank you Lady Bukubukuchagama!"
"The preparations are complete, now we wait for time to resume."
"So this is a Christmas Tree, it's so romantic, isn't it, Lord Peroroncino~?"
"I suppose it is, Shalltear," the birdman smiled as he spoke and pat the vampire on the head, making her blush before hugging the birdman tightly.
"As expected of the supreme beings! An impossible deed with an insight in timing of magic and attacks."
"Waah~"
"It. Is. Truly. Magnificent."
"So pretty~"
"Perhaps the view would have been grander if it was night time, but this will suffice for now, we can try again in the winter months I suppose."
Hamsuke's eyes were glowing a radiance of awe as she wondered how her lord created such a sight to behold, Pinison being strangely silent, Hamsuke inquired if she was ok or if she needed help.
"Hamsuke, it seems the only world I know was a boring , my eyes have been opened today. There are monsters capable of destroying the world all over the place, throw a stone and you'll hit one. If you think about it that way, it isn't that surprising."
"Hmm~ this change, is it good I wonder. What do you think of this, orb," the hamster began speaking to the orb of death in her cheeks taken from Clementine's necromancer friend, Khajiit.
"Those who possess intellect change every day…" the orb replied to only Hamsuke's ears, which Hamsuke repeated to the dryad.
Momonga approached the guardians, explaining that he watched their teamwork and exploits and that he was content with the results. Albedo responded as their representative, stating how there were some slip ups, but that the guardians would work to show a more perfect display when given the opportunity. Momonga replied that he would be looking forward to that day. Demiurge presented the herb to Momonga as well as a seed for it he had collected, allowing Nazarick to monopolize the valuable herb.
Not ten minutes later, Momon and Nabe re-entered the guild, sparking the attention of Ainzach, who asked if Darkness had decided to form a party with other adventurers to retrieve the herb, to which Momon replied, "No, Guildmaster Ainzach, that is-"
"To tell the truth, we handpicked the finest teams of adventurers. Of course, not because we thought it impossible of you and your comrades, but so we could supply backup if necessary. Of course, the guild will pay for their rewards."
"Ah, no, please hold on a second, Guildmaster."
"What is it, Momon?"
"We actually already procured the herb."
"No, even with your superhuman abilities, we have predicted that it will be quite difficult. So we decided to pick out three teams this time, consisting of mythril, platinum, platinum- wh-what did you say just now?"
"Like I said, we already procured the herb."
"Eh? Ehhh? But it's only been three days- one day for collecting… the round trip only took two days?"
"Well, that'd be the case, then, please confirm the requested item."
"No, no, no, no, no, no. It's only been three days! Just one way in a straight line would have taken three days!"
"Well, we were in a hurry."
"You were… in a hurry? Then, well, let's leave it at that! Hahaha, as expected of Momon, truly a feat worthy of the adamantite plate."
"I am returning to my comrades, so I do not mind if you pay all of the reward later."
"Thank you for your hard work."
"Then, excuse me."
The dark warrior left the herb with the man before leaving the room to meet up with Peroroncino, who was at Nazarick with Bukubukuchagama, Shalltear, and Mare, as Shalltear opened a [Gate] to the Forest of Tob while Mare moved a section of earth with a tree through the portal.
"Lord Peroroncino, are you sure you want to have such an inferior life form living on this floor?"
"Yes, Shalltear, Momonga gave his word of her safety, and honestly, I am intrigued by the thought of a dryad. Mare, would it be possible to change her and her main tree from what looks like… birch to something like maple?"
"Y-yes Lord Peroroncino, I can do that if you wish."
"I'll have to ask her if she'd be willing to, but if I was thinking of making a part of this forest into a maple orchard, there is a sweet treat that uses the sap of maple that i'd like to try."
"So, my idiot brother, you wanted to have this dryad oversee the maple trees? Are you sure that's the only thing you want from her?"
"Sis, you know I'm more than that, I won't complain if that does happen, but I am trying to benefit Nazarick with this monopoly."
"I see, Peroroncino… well, you can greet Momonga, I'll help Mare with everything else."
"Alright, will do."
The birdman left to greet his old friend, while his slimy sister had a thought of 'maybe if I give him something for his hard work, he really has grown as a person I can be proud to call my brother, he isn't just focused on ero, but he is actually being a proper leader of Nazarick, I can forgive him for building a harem, I suppose.'
Pinison emerged from the gate, still mentally scarred from the battle, Bukubukuchagama approached the plant spirit, welcoming her to Nazarick.
"Hi there, Pinison, I am Bukubukuchagama, one of the rulers of this tomb, mother of the dark elves."
"Mother? But you're a slime? Tomb?"
"Ah, well, I created them and act as their mother, and after the first three floors, it is really only a tomb in name to make it sound intimidating."
"Ah… I see, the birdman, Pero... roncino? Is he here?"
"Ah, my brother is not, he just left a moment ago, actually, why?"
"I wanted to talk to him, as a dryad, I feel closest to a fellow being of the forest."
"Hmm, well, I'm sure he'll visit, oh yes, he wanted to ask you something before he left."
"Hmm?"
"How would you mind if we were to change what type of tree your main tree is?"
"Change the type of tree?"
"Right now you resemble a birch tree, white bark, light green oval leaves. He suggested a maple tree, brown bark, orange leaves in a really cute shape."
"That… doesn't sound so bad, it's just an appearance change, right?"
"Well, there is a resource harvested from maple that he wanted to start collecting, and he wanted you to foresee that harvesting."
"Okay, I suppose it'd make me useful among you powerful… world ending beings… anything to not invoke anyone's wrath, just like Hamsuke said."
"Great, Mare sweetheart, could you come here for a second?"
"Y-yes, Lady Bukubukuchagama."
"Mare, darling, could you turn the tree into a maple, and the surrounding acre or so as well, we will have a building erected nearby too, so leave a 50 meter by 50 meter area near her tree for Peroroncino's use, and a few building outside the orchard for processing the material, understood?"
"Y-yes, I-I'll get right on it."
"And Mare~ I am prohibiting you and your sister to enter the orchard once it is built, ok sweetie?"
"Of course Lady Bukubukuchagama, I'll relay it to Aura."
The feminine boy ran off to Pinison's main tree, casting a druid spell that manipulated plant life, within moments, the pale spirit began to darken, her leaves falling out, rapidly growing in their place were maple leaves, her breast growing slightly, and her eyes going from black to yellow, "I-I feel strange, m-may I be excused while I get used to this change.."
"Of course. Have fun, Pinison, we will see you later then~!"
About a week after her indoctrination, Pinison had gotten used to her new body and surroundings, the buildings for processing sap into syrup fully built, as well as Peroroncino's personal building near her tree. Foire, Peroroncino's personal maid, was on shift with Cixous to oversee the building, which they were assigned to rotate between with the bar. Through the window, Pinison could hear them discussing something about the previous day, when they had the chance to serve their master in nazarick's bar. They talked about how good it felt to be embraced by Peroroncino and to feel his warmth. Pinison was intrigued by what they talked about, wondering what it was that made the first "normal" people she had seen feel so good. She left her tree and knocked on the door, for Foire to open it and welcome her in.
"S-so um… I heard you talking about something through the window… What did Per-Lord Peroroncino do to make you two all giddy?"
"Eh… it's a bit embarrassing… you tell her, Foire."
"Why me?"
"You always talked about it so openly with us…"
"F-fine… Pinison, was it, you see… well… we sort of had the opportunity to personally service Lord Peroroncino…"
"Service him? You two are maids right, isn't that your job?"
"N-no er, yes, er… we got to service him in a different way from our normal cleaning, we sort of got to be… intimate with our master…"
"Exactly, good job Foire, see it wasn't that hard."
"Cixous… you know I only told you all because you were close friends, this is our first time meeting her!"
"In... ti...mate… what does that mean? I've never heard that word before, if it will make the bir- I mean, Lord Peroroncino, happy… would it be possible for me to do so?" the red dryad tilted her head as she was intrigued at the thought of getting on the good side of one of the beings that could destroy the world that ruled this place.
"Well, I don't see why not, the more the merrier, right?"
"Hmmm, agreed, I'm sure Lord Peroroncino would be more than pleased!"
"G-great, now what exactly would being 'int..imate' mean?"
"Uhh… to put it roughly… you know how animals in the forest mate?"
"Y-you mean, he mated with you two!?"
"Not exactly, but close."
"I don't get it."
"Well… it is basically using your body to make him feel good, mating is one way to do that, though you couldn't actually mate with him as far as I know."
"S-so, you mate for no other reason than for fun? Interesting… I suppose I'll give it a try."
"Great! I'll tell Lord Peroroncino when I clean his room tonight! Isn't this great Cixous!?"
"Yes, it is, but please calm down Foire, we still have to go collect the sap from the trees to process."
"I know, but I can't help but get excited!"
"Since you can't leave your tree, Lord Peroroncino will have to come to you, so I suggest you make it worth his time, now if you'll excuse us."
"O-of course, I don't mean to distract you from your tasks."
Pinison went back to her tree to think over the sudden task given to her, how mating would feel good, how to make the birdman feel good, how to feel good herself. She started having her first lewd thoughts, her lower half opening two holes to match a human's body, her hand gliding down there, slipping into the crevice and moving her fingers inside. She kept moving her hand down there, feeling absolute bliss as she reached a climax, her first ever orgasm, sinking into her tree after catching her breath, resting.
She awoke later, her mind filled with warm thoughts, she looked around her tree, still groggy from her sexual awakening. She turned her head and saw Foire, jumping back in shock, she let out a yelp.
"H-how long have you been there?"
"Hmm? Just fifteen minutes or so, I got here the same time as yesterday and the day before, I didn't see you yesterday though…"
"I-I slept a whole day!"
"I guess?"
"W-well… d-do you still think I could have time with Lord Peroroncino?"
"Yes, in fact, I told him you were interested but I couldn't find you, so he gave me a [Message] scroll in case I found you!"
"S-so he accepted!"
"Yep~ want me to call for him now?"
"If you could, that'd be great."
"Of course~ [Message] Hiii~ Lord Peroroncino~, I found Pinison~ She was just sleeping the whole day in preparation for you~ She's on the 6th floor of course, I'll leave you two to it~"
"S-so…"
"Uh huh, he's on his way now, I'll be taking my leave and let you two be, unless you want me to watch…"
"D-do what you want, I guess."
"That I will."
"I'll just be at my tree then."
"Okay~"
She walked over to her tree and waited for her master to arrive, she heard the flapping of wings as she turned around to see the golden bird approaching, her eyes gleaming in the glory of his armor and wings.
"L-Lord Peroroncino! You actually came…"
"Of course, you said you were interested in what Foire was doing, were you not?"
"I-I suppose I-I w-was… I'm really nervous I guess…"
"It's ok, shall we go into my personal building to get started?"
"Y-yes, lets."
She ran over to the building, opening the door for him, he entered and led her into a room without windows, yet was still brightly lit, her eyes shining in the light.
Peroroncino sat on the bed in the room, patting it to have her sit next to him.
"S-so how does this go, do we just… put it in or…"
"Depends, which hole do you want me to stuff."
"I thought it was just the one!"
"There's three actually."
"Th-three?"
"One up here and two down there."
"I-I see… I guess… I'll take it in my mouth first, Foire said that's what she likes best when I was eavesdropping."
Peroroncino removed his armor as Pinison turned herself and shied her vines away from her breasts and nether region, turning back to Peroroncino and stared at the rod of meat before her.
"I-is that thing supposed to go inside of me, th-there's no way it will fit."
"It has fit in smaller girls before."
"Eh!"
"It's true."
"A-alright, I'm ready, aaaah~" she was on her knees as she opened her mouth and dropped her tongue out.
Peroroncino took his shaft and placed his tip on her tongue, which was surprisingly sticky, and felt good on its own, he took her head and slowly pushed her down onto it, making her choke slightly, though dryads didn't need to breath so long as their tree was able to breath, her throat quickly made room and she began to move and suck on her own, surprised at how easily it fit into her and how good it felt to bulge her throat with each time she took it down to the base. The scent filling her nose, her mind began to think lewd thoughts again, her vines moving around his balls to caress them as sucked harder and faster, her sticky spit making it a bit difficult but adding some pleasure to it as she felt his hand on the back of her head, guiding her movement. In a quick moment, he held her head as deep as it would go, releasing his sweet semen into her body, melting her mind in pleasure.
She took her face off of him with a loud pop, seductively looking at him with lust in her golden eyes, "C-can we put it in the other hole now~?"
"Of course, come here Pinison."
"Yes~ Lord Peroroncino~"
She stood up and turned around, taking a seat on his lap as he adjusted her, placing her behind his cock and standing up, positioning her, and thrusting in, her eyes rolling back and her wet sappy tongue hanging out as she begged for more.
"M-more, my Lord~"
"If you say so."
He started to thrust into her as she put her hands on the wall for support as her insides were rammed by his massive member, trying to suppress her moans. In an effort to get some sound out of the plant spirit, he began to grope her brown breasts, feeling both soft and sturdy like most of her body, a plant material that isn't as solid as wood, but not as delicate as a normal vine or stalk. In response to the sensual touch, she let out a lewd moan, a translucent brownish liquid slowly seeped out of her breasts, shocking Peroroncino as the smell of maple filled the room.
"What's this, Pinison, it smells sweet."
"S-sap my lord, as a d-dryad m-my body produces sap… it seems these, erotic actions have caused some reaction in my b-body."
"Interesting, how does it feel?"
"W-wonderful my lord! It pales in comparison to y-your cock, but it is wonderful~"
"If you like it so much, would you like me to set you up with some tappers?"
"W-wouldn't that be s-stabbing me m-my lord?"
"A normal tapper would, but some special ones would just milk you of that sap for processing."
"Th-then by all means, Lord P-Peroroncino, milk me~!"
"After I finish, I'll get you some, okay?"
"Y-yes~~"
Pinison stuttered from the pleasure as she orgasmed from the pleasure, going limp as Peroroncino continued his assault on her insides, speeding up as he slammed deep into where her womb would be if she were human, rather it was just an empty chamber she developed during her slumber as it filled with his cum. She slid off of her master and landed on the floor with a thud, her mind completely melted with the pleasure. He picked her up after dressing himself and placed her against her tree, to which she began to meld into, entering another sort of hibernation, a small 5 inch branch in the shape of a penis. He smiled as he left to perform his duties as a supreme being.
Each day, Peroroncino visited the tree, seeing no sign of the dryad, her slumber taking much longer than her first. Day after day, totalling seventeen days and twelve hours before she emerged from her woody slumber. Peroroncino arrived just as she had crawled out of her tree, new leafy appendages stuck to her back, four bright red maple leaf wings with brown sticks as the bones holding them in place, she was much more energetic than she had been according to Foire after her initial hibernation.
"L-Lord Peroroncino! H-how long was I out?"
"About fourteen days, or sunsets I guess."
"Fourteen? And are these… wings?"
"It seems so, in a similar structure and design to my own."
"Wh-what happened?"
"If I had to guess… you took my seed as a literal seed and grew some way of closer resembling myself in an attempt to be more attractive to me."
"R-really?"
"It's just a guess."
"Th-that feels right."
"Well, it worked, also, when you went into your tree, this fell out." He handed her the phallic branch, to which her brown skin turned orange as a sort of blush.
"A d-dick branch?"
"Looks like you grew one during your first sleep, why don't you keep it as a toy."
"Toy… huh, c-could you show me how to use it?"
He pulled out some two metal tubes he had Demiurge create during her slumber, specialized tappers designed for the dryad.
"Sure, I'll help you put on the tappers too while we're at it."
"R-right, I forgot about that. You're sure they won't hurt?"
"I'm sure they won't, now come here."
"Y-yes Lord Peroroncino."
He took the two metal tubes and moved Pinison's vine coverings to the side, feeling her breasts in his hands, he placed one on each breast where her nipple would be if she was a human, letting out a light moan as they were equipped.
"L-lord Peroroncino… c-can we do it again?"
"All you had to do was ask," He picked up the dryad after exposing his member, placing her behind it as she shifted her body.
"We never had the chance to put it in the third hole, c-could we try that?"
"Sure, I'll show you how to use your new toys at the same time too."
"Thank you Lord."
She moved herself over his cock, letting it slide into place, letting a lewd moan out as her new wings fluttered behind her. "It's so… big…"
"Lets try the other hole now," he took the wooden phallus and aligned it with her front hole, sliding it in, the dryad moaned again as she was stuffed in both her front and back.
"I-it feels so good... "
"Let's move around a bit now."
"Mmm, stir me up good Lord Peroroncino~"
"Don't need to tell me twice."
He began to thrust his shaft inside her ass, moving the wooden shaft in her pussy in sync, her body arching back as she was overtaken with pleasure in her holes. Her wings flapping as her eyes rolled back in pleasure.
"You see how to use it now?"
"Yes~ Though yours is better…"
"Thank you, now let's finish up shall we?"
"O-of course, let me just…" The dryad bounced up and down before Peroroncino grabbed her hips and held her on him, filling her with his seed again, Pinison panted and pulled herself off of Peroroncino's member, a big smile on her face, "I f-finally can agree with those maids that this is heavenly…"
"Well, that was quite enjoyable, Pinison, I have business to attend to with Shalltear, so I'll have to take my leave, I'll see you later."
"O-of course, I'll be waiting."
The birdman covered himself up and sent a [message] to Shalltear to open a [gate] for him, to which a purple portal opened in front of him for him to help Shalltear deliver materials to the Forest of Tob for the building Momonga ordered Aura to manage the construction of. Pinison was left alone once more. The dryad twiddled her thumbs in boredom as she had nothing else to do, she thought about the new tappers placed on her, groping herself to squeeze the sap out of her body the tappers letting the sticky, sweet substance flow into a bucket below her, which she continued for a good ten minutes. Foire and Cixous returned to their shift and found the dryad humming to herself as she sat in her tree, the bucket left at the approached the tree, noticing the bucket, and asked what it was.
"Hmm? Oh, that's my sap. If you two would be so kind as to make sure that it is processed for Lord Peroroncino's breakfast, I'd be grateful, I'd do it myself but I don't know how and I can't leave my tree…"
"Hmm? Ok, you want us to make him a special breakfast tomorrow in your stead?"
"I-I guess, just make sure it has this syrup and a note from me, ok."
"Alright."
So the maid took the bucket of sap to the processor, adding the water and sugar into it turning the sticky, runny liquid into a viscous, thick ooze, while it cooled down for use tomorrow, the maids attended to the other trees and brought the sap to other processors, taking up the majority of the day. At the end of their shift, Cixous took Pinison's Syrup to the head chef for use in Peroroncino's breakfast, while Foire stayed and wrote a note from Pinison since she could not write herself.
The next morning, Peroroncino awoke with Shalltear at his side, clinging to his arm and holding it tightly. He removed her from his arm, making her reach for empty air, before stretching his arms and wings. A few moments later, three soft knocks echoed from the door.
"Who is it?"
"It's me, Foire, Lord Peroroncino, I brought breakfast."
"Breakfast? Did Bukubukuchagama send you like she did Lupusregina?"
"N-no sir, may I come in?"
"Yes, just close the door behind you, Shalltear is naked."
"Ok, Lord Peroroncino!"
She opened the door, a silver platter in one hand, entering the room and shutting it with her foot, she walked over to the birdman and placed the tray on his side table, removing the cloche to reveal a stack of pancakes coated in syrup, several strips of bacon, hashbrowns, a biscuit, and a bowl of fruit. There was a note next to the bowl with the word "Pinison" written on the cover.
"Lord Peroroncino, I hope you enjoy this breakfast, it was made with a special 'touch' from me, see you next time you visit the 6th floor.
~Pinison Pol Perlia"
"So, Pinison had this made huh?"
"Yep, she gave a special ingredient too."
"I see, tell her I am grateful and will try to visit her soon."
"Will do Lord Peroroncino."
Shalltear woke up, smelling the sweet syrup, "Lord Peroroncino… did you get breakfast..?"
"Ah, good morning Shalltear, Foire just delivered a breakfast, courtesy of that dryad from about a month ago, we had a bit of fun yesterday, after our first bit of fun a while back."
"And you didn't invite me?"
"Sorry, but you were busy, and it wasn't that long."
"Hmmf, it's alright, I got to have fun with you yesterday anyway."
"Exactly, now, lets see how it tastes."
He dug his cutlery into the breakfast, savoring the flavor, the sweetness combined with the fluffiness of the pancakes making him feel bright, no more nutrient pills and fake food, the taste attacking his taste buds, he continued to dine on his spoils of war.
Name: Pinison Pol PerliaGender: Female
Race: Dryad
Rank: 6th floor escort and pet
Pinison, the Dryad who guided Nazarick to the evil tree, Zy'tl Q'ae and felt complete and utter shock as the "world ending" tree was easily beaten by the floor guardians of Nazarick, only comforted by Hamsuke, telling her she'd be safe and protected so long as she swore loyalty like the hamster had done. Worried for her safety, knowing monsters of world ending strength lived so close to her home, she quickly swore her loyalty to them, in particular the birdman, as he resonated most with nature as compared to the slime and skeleton. Her tree that made up her real body was moved to the 6th floor of Nazarick, and Peroroncino had Mare turn her from a birch tree to a maple tree to manage his new monopoly. Having her first time with Peroroncino, she soon became a personal toy for him while he was on the floor for training or visiting his sister and the twins, she absorbed his sperm before entering a hibernation, emerging with wings made of leaves in a similar structure to her master. She also collects her syrup for her master's breakfasts.
