Chapter 3: Starry Sky Above a Beautiful Night Child
It was early in the morning when Milleadh woke up and found a familiar face beside her.
She couldn't believe her eyes when she saw that face, wearing a warm smile that made her heart feel calm with a warmth she could not defined.
The owner of that face stared at her while Milleadh could feel that she was holding her right hand.
"Good morning, Milleadh-sama."
No words left her mouth. Or rather, she could not utter any words because her mind was too shocked at the moment.
"I see that you are still a bit confused about what is happening. Milleadh-sama, I am Junko Sincerity. Your only creation and one of the beings who pledges loyalty to you and the other Supreme Beings. I have been here since four hours ago when you were having a nightmare. Momonga-sama asked me to help you calm down and ease whatever nightmare you were having. Pardon my action, but Momonga-sama said that it was necessary to hold your hand while you are sleeping. 'It will make Milleadh feel safe', he said."
I see. This is Junko Sincerity. An NPC that I created. She is not onee-chan. But-
"T-Thank you, Junko. I really appreciate it. I'm glad you're here."
"I'm forever grateful, Milleadh-sama. Now that you have already woken up, I have to report it to Momonga-sama. But before that, do you need anything to start your day, my creator?"
As she said that, Milleadh realized that they were not alone in that luxurious room. She saw one homunculus maid stood at the far corner.
She rose – with Junko still holding her right hand – and spoke to the maid.
"I want a cup of Caffè Macchiato. Could you bring it to me, please?"
"Understood, Milleadh-sama. Please wait for a moment."
As the maid went out of her bedroom, her eyes roamed to every corner of her bedroom.
She gasped as she looks at the size of her bedroom and all the luxurious furniture in it.
The vase was so clean and looked very expensive but she didn't know what material it was. The wooden wardrobe made of the finest wood that her mind could not imagine what type of wood it was. A golden chandelier hung on the ceiling lit by magic.
She wanted to cry as she realized that all of those things were clearly not suited for her, an average salary woman who lived in a small apartment.
But as she thought further, this room was not bad at all. It showed her superiority as a member of Ainz Ooal Gown. Thus, she accepted it.
"Milleadh-sama? Are you okay?"
Milleadh looked at Junko and nodded her head gently and gave her a warm smile.
But, she knew that it was no time to be lying around, sure the bed was nice, warm, soft, and made her feel comfortable but she needed to meet with Momonga and organize her thoughts.
I need to talk with Satoru-senpai after I drink my macchiato.
In a luxurious living room, the personification of death in luxurious black robes sat behind a wooden desk, reading the contents of a paper in his hands. After he was done reading he put the paper to the side and then added it to a new stack before repeating the process all over again.
Those were reports of his subordinates who were now working on his orders to defend Nazarick in this strange situation.
I don't understand all the details, but I am sure that they have done a very good job. Though, we can't let our guard down for the time being. Oh?
Momonga received a 'Message' from someone and as he answered it, a sweet and lovely voice rang through his mind.
"[My apologies for disturbing you, Momonga-sama. This one is Junko Sincerity and I wish to borrow your valuable time for a while]."
Why are you apologizing to me?
Momonga wanted to say it but chose not to. Because he wouldn't make his NPCs disappointed by any attitude that didn't fit as a ruler. Therefore, he said,
"[Umu. Is Milleadh awake already?]"
"[As expected of you Momonga-sama! You clearly know about all the situations. You really are a wise being.]"
"[Don't bother with praises. Just answer my question, Junko.]"
Momonga couldn't help but gasp at the way he spoke. He thought that was very impolite when he talked with someone. So, he prayed for Junko wouldn't become angry and chose to attack him later.
"[I am truly sorry, Momonga-sama. Please forgive me]."
"[Ah, no, Junko. It is fine. I am the one who must apologize because of my tone. I didn't mean it. Uhum. Ah. Judging by your words, I assume that Milleadh has woken up?]"
"[T-Thank you for your generosity, Momonga-sama. But, please do not apologize to me. I am at fault and ready to take any punishment for my sins. And as you assumed, Milleadh-sama has awaken and she said she wants to talk with you, My Lord]."
Punishment? Come on! That's too far! Ah. I'm tired.
"[I forgive you and no punishment will come to you, Junko. Before she talks to me, please remind her to have breakfast first. If she already has a coffee, prepare a light menu for her breakfast. Though, I wish to meet her soon so please bring her to the canteen. I will go there, as well.]"
"[Thank you very much, Momonga-sama. I will carry out your orders]."
After their conversation was over, Momonga picked an item which was like a small crystal-like-orb and examined it carefully.
Should I use this just for that? I still have plenty of these, but without a way to purchase cash items, my stocks will begin to deplete as soon as I use those cash items.
Momonga thought hard to made his decision about something he wanted to do with a cash item on his hand which was named 'Shapeshifterian'.
Just like the name, it could change the shape of its users and will be maintained for 30 minutes. It was often used by players who went undercover for various purposes.
But, that was the effect in Yggdrasil. While true that he hasn't seen a change of effect from his items so far, he couldn't push aside the small possibility that a problem could occur. Thus, Momonga was curious to find if some of its effects changed as he was now in another world, different from Yggdrasil.
Momonga turned his gaze to Sebas who was standing still beside him. Momonga wanted to ask him about his opinion, but he quickly chose not to.
He knew that most of his subordinates would just answer with 'if it is your will, then none of us can object to that'.
After a lot of thinking, he finally decided to test the item. So, he started to activate it by raising his right hand – which he held the item with – up, then he yelled,
"「Shift: Human」."
A bright light appeared from the item and started covering Momonga's whole body.
Then the light gone left nothing but a handsome man in a luxurious black robe.
That handsome man had black short hair with a pair of red-shifted eyes to look at his right hand. After, he explored all parts of his body with his hands. Then, he produced a dagger – which contained enough data to pass through his passive skill – out of nothing and pierced the palm of his left hand.
Blood started dripping from his palm. Sebas began to panic when he saw his master hurt himself.
"M-Momonga-sama!"
Momonga turned his gaze at Sebas and said,
"Rest easy, Sebas. It's just an experiment. Don't worry."
"But, you shouldn't hurt yourself like that, Momonga-sama."
"Indeed. But as I said, do not worry, Sebas. It will heal up soon, I think."
Hearing his master's words, Sebas couldn't do anything but step back to his position.
Looks like this is a real world. The blood is proof of that. Still, if this body can produce blood, then could this body produce sweat, sperm, urine, or anything that a human should have? At least, I have my 'little guy' now though only for a certain time. Hahaha.
Momonga sighed with a smile on his human face. As he saw his wound start to close – due to HP regeneration like in a game –, he decided to do an important thing which had come to his attention.
"Sebas. I want to try to have some food with this body. Come with me so we can eat together with Milleadh and Junko."
Just as Sebas tried to speak, Momonga spoke another word with an aura of authority.
"It is an order."
"It is as you say."
Sebas could do nothing but bow after those words. He then followed his master to Nazarick's Canteen. Though he wasn't sure if 'canteen' was really the right word to describe the place.
By the time Momonga and Sebas arrived at the front door, Milleadh and Junko already had their food and were eating together. Momonga took a step inside and was startled by everyone – including Milleadh and Junko – because his human form now was unknown to them.
"Good morning, everyone. I hope all of you have a good breakfast."
After Momonga spoke, they realized that the human who stood before them was a guildmaster of Ainz Ooal Gown, Momonga. All NPCs – including Junko – panicked and kneeled as quick as they could to show respect to their master.
Uwahh~ I wouldn't have spoken if I knew this would happen!
"Rise, everyone. Please go back to enjoying your food."
After saw them rose and went back to enjoy their breakfast, Momonga approached Milleadh's table and greeted her.
"Good morning, Mill."
"Good morning, Momonga-senpai. May I ask why you became a human?"
"I see that you already know that I used 'Shapeshifterian' to change my form for a while. As for the reason is I want to test its effect by eating and drinking. Could we sit here with you girls?"
"Of course. Please take a seat."
"I am very grateful if you sit with us, Momonga-sama."
"Then, I will come back after I get my breakfast."
Just as Momonga wanted to go to counter, Sebas stopped him by saying,
"Momonga-sama. I will get yours. It is my duty to serve you and you can't possibly work yourself."
It is not like the counter is far from here, Sebas!
Momonga wanted to shout words in his thought, but he decided not to.
"Very well. Then please, Sebas. Just a small-sized beef steak with scrambled eggs and orange juice is fine for me. Though I want to try dragon steak, I wish not to offend a beautiful dragon in front of me."
Momonga had a grin as he spoke and placed his gaze to Milleadh who was now still eating.
"Very funny, Momonga-senpai. You know, your human form looks pretty tasty. Maybe I will eat you for dinner."
Sebas bowed and left to accomplish his task. As Momonga and Milleadh laughed together. Which brought a smile to Junko's beautiful face and of course, all the maids present.
As Momonga sat, he looked at Milleadh with a serious face.
"Mill, are you okay now? I'm sorry that I couldn't help you last night."
"Please don't say that like you didn't help me, Momonga-senpai. By calling Junko, you already helped me."
Milleadh had a warm smile on her face, while Junko was blushing.
"I see. Thank you. She really is the greatest angel. It is rare to have someone with seven orders out of angel's nine orders."
Milleadh sighed at his senpai and her warm smile changed to a bitter one while making a troubled-face.
"She has all of the nine orders, Momonga-senpai! I thought you saw her creation process. Looks like you must have some trait equipped to forget such things."
Hm? Oh! That's right! Shit! To forget Junko's racial types while I watched her creation process is unforgivable. I hope they forgive me!
Realizing his mistake, Momonga bowed his head towards them.
"I am sorry, Mill. And to you Junko, I do apologize for forgetting your racial types."
Everyone at the canteen – including Milleadh – was shocked when Momonga bowed his head towards Mileadh and Junko. Of course, they are not shocked at the fact that Momonga bowed to another Supreme Being. Supreme Beings respected each other.
They were more shocked because their master bowed his head towards Junko, who was a mere creation just like them.
While Junko felt gratitude for Momonga's kindness even if it was a little much, she knew a mere creation like herself didn't deserve Momonga's apology.
Supreme Beings could not bow their heads to anything in this world. Especially Momonga who was the leader of 41 Supreme Beings who created them.
"M-Momonga-sama! Please don't bow your head to me! I am a servant and I do not mind even if you forgot about my lowly self!"
Momonga didn't raise his head even when Junko shouted in panic.
As Milleadh saw Junko panicked, she patted Momonga's head and said,
"It's okay, Momonga-senpai. I was just teasing. Junko too. Please raise your head, dear senpai. I know that managing Nazarick and... the matters of another world is a hard task and you couldn't memorize every aspect at the same time."
Milleadh wanted to say 'job at real-life', but she thought that Junko would be confused by those words. As such, she chose to use 'matters at another world'.
"As Milleadh-sama said, Momonga-sama. How could I be angry at you when you are this kind? Even if you forget my name, I am really happy to serve you and Milleadh-sama."
At those words, Momonga finally raised his head. Made every NPCs sighed in relief.
"I do not fear your anger, Milleadh, Junko. I only fear your disappointment towards me."
Still had her hand at Momonga's head, Milleadh started to rub his human's hair and showed a warm smile once again.
"I may become angry at you if you do things that I consider immoral, but I'll never be disappointed in you, Momonga-senpai. Since my first day at... that place in another world, you've always been by my side, helping me through hard days, and even staying with me until the very end of Yggdrasil. I'm very grateful that I have you then, now, and forever... Well, let's stop this awkward conversation and enjoy our breakfast. Look, Sebas has brought your food."
"I'm lucky for having you as well, Mill."
Milleadh pulled her hand away from Momonga's head and Momonga saw her face became red.
She is very cute.
Then, Sebas came. He placed his and his master's food and they enjoyed their breakfast.
These are so delicious! As expected of NPC of The Great Tomb of Nazarick! Ahhh... Never once in my life, I eat something this delicious!
"These are so good! Thank you for your hard work, please give my thanks to the Head Chef and all his assistants!"
"I'm glad that you think so too, Momonga-senpai! These really are delicious!"
Momonga and Milleadh spoke loudly, hoping that Head Chef and his subordinates heard their praises.
Of course, they heard it. And it brought them to tears of happiness for they have been praised by two Supreme Beings for their work.
They now knew that their hard work was worth it. And they sought to work harder for their masters, so they could be praised again next time.
Every NPCs was happy for their co-workers and jealous at the same time. Because they also wanted to be praised by the Supreme Beings. At that time, all of NPCs made an oath to work harder than before, for wanting to be praised like the Head Chef and his subordinates.
Satisfied by their reactions, Milleadh looked at Momonga and asked,
"So, Momonga-senpai. What has actually happened to us?"
Momonga knew just what Milleadh's meant. He answered,
"Judging from Sebas' report and major differences from Yggdrasil, it's more likely we have been transported to an unknown, real world."
"Oh, I see. It seems to be the only conclusion we can come by for now. Judging by your form now, It seems that items work the same as in Yggdrasil right, Momonga-senpai? And what about our skills?"
"Though I haven't done testing on all items yet, I think they work the same as in Yggdrasil because every item I have tested so far works the same. As of our skills, I can use my magic and passive skills still work as well. If you want to use active skills, you can think of the skills you want to use, your MP decreases, and cast time. As for warrior-oriented type like you, I think it's more likely you just have to think about it and it will come naturally."
"Good to hear that. After breakfast, I wish to go to the sixth floor to test them myself. Momonga-senpai, can I bring Junko with me?"
Momonga smiled. He was glad that Milleadh accepted these weird circumstances so easily. Thus, it let Momonga worry less about his kouhai.
"Of course. You need protection to ensure your safety, after all. Junko, will you protect Milleadh for me?"
Junko bowed her head with a large smile as she responded,
"Of course, Momonga-sama. I will protect Milleadh-sama even if I have to throw my own life away."
Then, they continued to enjoy their breakfast while chatting up some minor topics.
Momonga enjoyed the moment very much. Until Milleadh asked,
"By the way, Momonga-senpai. You didn't change your creation's setting, did you?"
Momonga could only gap and curse in his mind.
Damn!
On the third day since she and all of The Great Tomb of Nazarick were transported to another world.
She already visiting the sixth floor and had found Aura and Mare were so cute and charming.
Her opinion on the sixth floor of The Great Tomb of Nazarick was always good. And that was the reason why she put her ten Ultra-Rare dragons there, besides it was the widest area.
She recalled how shocked Momonga was when she got ten of level 90 Ultra-Rare dragons at double 10x pull on 'gachapon'. He then called her the luckiest player alive, even luckier than Yamaiko.
But Momonga was grateful to her. With that luck of her, The Great Tomb of Nazarick now possessed twelve of level 90 Ultra-Rare dragons.
Not only that, but she also able to get a level 95 limited Ultra-Rare dragon named Bahamut, which now lived on the eighth floor and became a subordinate to Junko. That made her beloved senpai stressed and even had to log out earlier because of a headache.
As she recalled those memories, Milleadh – in her red night-dress – had a big smile on her face while staring at her collection of swords which she put on her bed.
Ever since she got her first divine-class sword, she became obsessed with swords and began to hunt, loot, and forge swords as much as she could with help from Momonga, Ulbert Alain Odle, Warrior Takemikazuchi, Yamaiko, Bukubukuchagama, and Amanomahitotsu.
If she was to hunting, she would ask Momonga, Ulbert, Takemikazuchi, Yamaiko, and Bukubukuchagama to accompany her. Of course, if they didn't have a business of their own to attend.
If she was looting, she would do PK or PvP.
If she was forging, she would ask Amanomahitotsu to forge custom-made swords for her. Of course, she would provide him with the ingredients.
Her ruby-colored eyes gazed upon a brown sword that had a grip that looked like it was made from a crab's shell.
It was a sword forged by Amanomahitotsu which he gave to her on his last day in Yggdrasil.
The name was 'Amano Memento'. A one-handed slashing-type sword that had a 'special' ability to help her low defenses.
The next she gazed upon was a katana wrapped in lightning if it was unsheathed.
It was 'Takemikazuchi MK 8' that she won from Warrior Takemikazuchi on their last duel.
Every sword in her possession was special to her.
But while 'Root of Yggdrasil' was her first divine-class sword and her main sword, and she had many special swords, she had one sword that could be called as her most beautiful treasure if she excluded her World-class Item.
She raised the sword with both hands and stared at it with shining eyes.
The sword's name was Excalibur. 'The Sword of Promised Victory'.
It was her strongest divine-class, slashing-type sword that contained a holy attribute.
It's pommel was filled with a royal blue round gem, it's grip was gold which looked like it spoke of the glory of its wielder.
The rain-guard was blue, and like it's grip, the blade was gold too. As it would show the victory which was promised to its wielder.
Truly, it was so divine and full of glory. Just like its name, when Milleadh wielded this sword in a battle, she would gain victory no matter the cost.
She would win any battle against anyone. Except for three beings so far.
It was Touch-Me with his broken stats, Ulbert Alain Odle with his great magic attacks, and Momonga who has known all of her patterns and had many spells he needed to adapt to any situation.
As she recalled those memories, a bitter smile appeared on her face.
Those were good memories. I wonder if the others are in this world too. I miss Yamaiko-nee's warmness. I miss Kazechin Onee-chan's cuteness. I miss Ulbert. I miss Takemikazuchi-san. I miss Amano-san. I miss everyone.
Everyone was kind towards her. And she loved Ainz Ooal Gown. She liked everyone even though she didn't quite get along with Touch-Me due to her closeness with Ulbert Alain Odle and rarely met with Herohero.
Momonga taught her about the game's basics and every item along with every skill he knew, Yamaiko and Bukubukuchagama were her older sisters at the guild, and Ulbert Alain Odle was her best friend and taught her how to roleplay as an evil being, even gave her every requirements to gain the Evil Dragon race and the Calamity Dragon race.
Ulbert was really excited when I became a True Dragon. With Calamity Dragon in my racial level, Momonga-senpai and Ulbert even used to call me the True Calamity Dragon.
Her thoughts continued.
She recalled that Amanomahitotsu was always a good friend to talk about swords and Warrior Takemikazuchi taught her to become a good fighter.
She admired Warrior Takemikazuchi as a perfect warrior who was not afraid of 'challenge' even though he didn't have a chance to beat that' challenge' called Touch-Me. Because Touch-Me left the game before he was done forging his latest and strongest katana.
She also recalled some peaceful arguments she had with Peroroncino about Bukubukuchagama.
She also recalled how Punitto Moe used to scold her every time she did something reckless.
It was too much to recall their kindness. And it hurts to realize, again, that those were memories of the past now.
Tears began to run down through her cheeks. But not for long.
She wiped her tears and looked at the positive sides.
At least, I still have Momonga-senpai with me. And all of NPCs are here with us.
Milleadh started to smile. She wonders what she would do in the future.
If this was another world, would she try to find a way back home?
But that leads her to another question.
Was it worth it to try?
She had nothing left in that world. Her sister was already gone. Her parents were gone. Her job –except for meeting his senpai every day – sucked.
Maybe... Maybe I could stay here with Satoru-senpai.
She began to blush.
At first, she just respected him because he was her senior. As they got to know each other, she started to like him as a person. The closer they got and he showed her kindness and cared for her, she realized that she had fallen in love with him.
But, she couldn't tell him yet. She was too scared.
She was scared that her senpai would keep his distance if rejected her love. Thus, forcing her to keep her feelings a secret that she only shared with Yamaiko and Bukubukuchagama.
But in this world, I will definitely tell him! And if it doesn't go well, I will beg him to not keep his distance. No matter how shameful it is. Because I love him and I don't want him to go away from me, even if these feelings will be one-sided.
She decided to follow him. If he wished to go back, then she would help him to find a way and then follow him back to their original world.
She kept smiling as she put her swords into her dimensional pocket.
Then, a knock came to her door followed by a regal voice.
"Milleadh, are you there?"
"I am here, Momonga-senpai. Please en – wait! I have to change clothes!"
"Oh! Okay!"
Milleadh changed her night-dress to her usual red armor. As she was done, she walked to her room's door and opened it.
There, she saw a figure with jet-black full plate armor with a red cape. But, she wouldn't mistake the figure in front of her to be anyone else.
"Momonga-senpai, why you dressed like that?"
As she thought, the figure confirmed his identity by saying,
"I can't tell you here, Milleadh."
He stared at Cocytus' subordinates who were standing at the sides of the door of Milleadh's room. Then, he continued.
"But, I can tell you outside. I want to go outside and wondered if you wanted to join me."
Milleadh smiled brightly.
"I will join! I want to go too!"
"Umu. Then, shall we?"
Milleadh nodded with high spirits. Then, she and Momonga activated the power of their 'Ring of Ainz Ooal Gown'.
The place they were sent to was a huge plaza. Nearby were multiple slender stone tablets that were meant for corpses.
The floor was covered with brightly polished limestone. Behind them was a staircase leading downwards, ending in front of a large gate leading to the first floor of The Great Tomb of Nazarick.
The walls didn't have any torches. The only source of light came from blue and white light from the moon.
Using the power of 'Ring of Ainz Ooal Gown', it was possible to instantly teleport to the place closest to the surface. The place which can be called a central tomb.
Just as they moved a few steps, they were forced to stop because they encountered an unexpected situation.
Eh?! Evil Lord Wrath, Evil Lord Envy, and Evil Lord Greed?! If I remember it correctly, they are Demiurge's subordinates! What are they doing here? What is happening here?
Momonga walked, closing his distance to the Evil Lords, as he knew that those demons stared at him with a sharp gaze. Probably wondering who was the black-armored guy and what was he doing with their mistress.
That courage he had made Milleadh smile lightly.
As expected of Momonga-senpai! He truly is a man worthy of my love!
Then, a shadow appeared next to the demons. Although unseen in the beginning, they now could clearly see a devil in a full-suit. With his appearance here, now they both knew why those demons were there.
"Demiurge."
Being called by Momonga, the devil let out a surprised look.
The devil walked up to them and kneeled to them. Which was followed by all Evil Lords.
"Momonga-sama, Milleadh-sama. What are you doing here without your guards? And Momonga-sama, that kind of attire..."
He exposed him that fast? Well, the people who can freely teleport within The Great Tomb of Nazarick are guild members. Knowing his intelligence, it is no surprise for him to guess immediately.
As she thought that, Momonga nodded to Demiurge and said,
"There are many reasons. If it's you, Demiurge, you should know why I am dressed like this."
Many reasons?
Not only Milleadh, but Demiurge made a complicated expression too. After a few breaths, Demiurge said,
"Forgive me, I do not understand Momon –"
"Call me Schwarzer."
"Schwarzer-sama."
Schwarzer? What language is that? And why?
Milleadh was very confused now. Not knowing what her senpai's intention might be in her mind.
In contrast to her confusion, Demiurge had a face that showed him that he knew of Momonga's intentions.
"I see... So that's what is going on."
Eh? What? Do you already understand senpai's intention? How? Does he really have a secret plan by coming here?
"Momon –... Schwarzer-sama's profound insight, I finally have a slight grasp on it. This is surely a worthy problem, even you and Milleadh-sama wish to investigate it by yourself because you are our great rulers. But as to the issue of you having no guards with you, I cannot idly sit by. Although I know doing this will cause some problems, but I hope that you will mercifully allow us to guard you."
Great rulers? Wait! The leader is Momonga-senpai! I'm just a member! I do not count as a ruler, you know?! More importantly, what are you two talking about?! I can't follow what he's saying!
Frustration appeared on Milleadh's face. Unbeknown to her, it made Demiurge and his Evil Lords frown and shake in fear. They thought that Milleadh's frustration was because she was troubled by Demiurge's request.
"Milleadh-sama! I deeply apologize to you! But this is important! You two are the last Supreme Beings who stayed with us! And I cannot risk any of you to be unguarded! Please fulfill this lowly servant's selfish request! I will gladly kill myself for making you feel inconvenienced after you are guarded!"
Demiurge lowered his head deeply. Very deeply. Never once in his life had he felt fear this great.
He did not fear to die. His only fear was just to make the last two Supreme Beings feel disappointed and choose to leave them just like other Supreme Beings.
Unbeknown to him – who was bow deeply and his diamond eyes stared at the floor – Mileadh made a sad expression. Yet, she felt happy for his loyalty.
"Raise your head, Demiurge! You are not the cause of my frustration. It's just because a few things ran through my mind. I'm truly glad and proud of your loyalty, Demiurge! Momon –... Schwarzer-senpai feels the same too, I'm sure."
"Milleadh is right, Demiurge. We are truly glad and proud of your loyalty! Never once in our life have we doubted you. That goes for your Evil Lords, too. Raise your head, Demiurge! And you, alone, will be our guard, so please guard us. As for your Evil Lords, I hope they continue their work here."
If Demiurge could cry, he would be crying in joy by now.
Not only had Milleadh reassured him, but even she and Momonga also praised his loyalty and stated that they could never doubt his loyalty to them.
Just like him, all of Evil Lords who heard their master and mistress' praises were also shaking in joy and happiness.
"I'm forever grateful! Listen, Evil Lords, as per Momon –... Schwarzer-sama's order, you will continue your works and be on standby when everything is done. Tell Albedo I will be going outside."
"Understood, Demiurge-sama!"
And so, Demiurge followed his master and mistress, and at the same time made an oath to work harder to repay their kindness.
Walking outside, a beautiful scene greeted the three beings. Momonga stood at the top of the carved stone by Milleadh's side, quietly overlooked the scenery.
In front of their eyes was the beautiful night sky, with so many stars decorating it.
Momonga shifted his view to Milleadh. He smiled inside when he looked at her expression.
It was full of awe and very beautiful. It made Momonga compare it to the starry sky.
Which one was more beautiful? A beautiful starry sky up there or a beautiful red-haired girl with pairs of ruby eyes at his side? Momonga couldn't find an answer he was satisfied with.
What he knew was they were both beautiful in their own ways.
"Milleadh, let's fly and lean closer towards the heavens."
Milleadh nods with a huge smile on her face. Then, they took out a necklace in the shape of a bird's wings from their dimensional pockets. It was 'Flight Necklace'. It has the ability similar to the 'Fly' spell but did not have any restrictions on any class. Thus, Milleadh who was not a magic caster could fly if she equipped herself with it.
Although she could fly with her dragon's wings, she chose not to because her half-dragon form would cause her crimson scales and tail to appear alongside two black horns on her head.
It would ruin her appearance in front of someone she loved.
She knew that she was a beautiful girl right now. With a height of 160cm, she was a girl who looked like 23 years old with long red hair and had a pleasing shape to her body. So, she intended to keep this beautiful appearance while hoping Momonga would find her attractive.
After wearing his necklace and saw Milleadh already wore her necklace too, Momonga extended his right hand towards Milleadh and said,
"Will you fly by my side, My Dear True Calamity?"
With a bright smile on her face, Milleadh received his hand and held it tight like she did not want to let it go.
"I'll be very glad to, My Dearest Absolute Death."
They both chuckled at their own words.
Actually, Momonga never thought that Milleadh would receive his hand.
He never once thought that she felt what he felt towards her.
After being together at work and Yggdrasil for quite a long time, a feeling he never anticipated appeared in his heart.
It was love. True and absolute love.
Of course, his love was for Milleadh – Miyako – only.
They slowly floated then speed up, rising upwards in a straight line while holding each other's hands.
Demiurge who had a warm smile on his face tried to catch up with them in his frog-like, half-demon form.
After reaching a certain height, they slowly decelerated.
Momonga took off his helmet, revealing his skeletal face, to get a better view.
They were speechless looking at this world.
The bluish-white light from the moon and stars that drove away the darkness on the ground. Blowing in the breeze, the swaying grasslands looked like a shining world. The countless stars in the sky along with the moon and planets gave off a brilliant radiance, complementing the scenery on the ground.
Momonga could not help but say,
"It's beautiful... Truly beautiful... Too much to describe it with words... I wonder what kind of face Blue Planet-san would make if he saw this."
"I agree with you, Momonga-senpai. It's so beautiful! Or should I say Schwarzer-senpai?"
"Hahaha. Forget about that 'Schwarzer' thing. That goes for you, too, Demiurge."
Demiurge bowed his head, showing that he understood.
Momonga looked on Milleadh on his right side who still holding his hand tightly.
I think now is good. The scenery is beautiful. The mood is at its best. This is a perfect time!
"Mill– ... Miyako."
Milleadh turned her head with a surprised look towards Momonga who suddenly called her name. Her original name.
Oh! Come on, Satoru! You can do this!
"I want to ask you about what you want to do in the future. Would you want to come back to our original world, or do you wish to stay here in this new world?"
For Momonga, he already knew his answer. He wanted to stay.
Sure, this new world was full of mystery. And it has the potential to bring danger towards him and all of Nazarick.
But, he's got NPCs here who needs him. And after saw the scenery in front of him, his desire to stay only got stronger.
However, that was his feelings. He didn't know what Milleadh wanted.
If she wishes to leave, to go back to their original world, he swore that he would help her even if he had to throw this world upside-down.
But deep inside his human's heart which had not fully disappeared, he wanted her to stay with him and everyone in Nazarick.
"I wish to stay, Momonga-senpai. What about you?"
Momonga let his body relax and hug Milleadh tightly. Which surprised Milleadh and made her gasp.
Demiurge also made the same response as Milleadh's as he saw his master embrace his mistress.
"Will you stay with me and everyone in Nazarick forever?"
At first, she was speechless. She never thought that her senpai, her beloved, would hug her like this. He never did until now.
But as time pushed forward, she gained the power to speak and said,
"I will! I wish to stay! I wish to stay with you and everyone forever!"
She hugged Momonga with tears of joy ran down her cheeks.
Demiurge's heart was filled with warmth as he saw two Supreme Beings embrace each other and made an oath to stay together, with every being in Nazarick, forever.
And then, as Milleadh thought it would never be better, Momonga spoke the words which she wished to hear from him but ones she never confident with.
"I love you, Miyako. Will you marry me?"
Milleadh became speechless once again.
She never thought her senpai would have the same feelings as her.
Her body shook greatly because it couldn't bear so much happiness she felt at that moment.
When she could speak again, she answered,
"Yes. Please marry me, Satoru-senpai, no, Satoru!"
They hugged each other tighter than if Momonga could express his emotions with his face, he would surely cry as well.
Demiurge held his chest with both hands. He felt his heartbeat became faster and faster as he realized he had just witnessed the most beautiful scenery in all worlds.
"Though, I'm sorry I haven't prepared any jewels for you. I will request Chief Blacksmith to craft a beautiful ring of jewels for you."
Milleadh laughed then shift her eyes towards the starry sky.
"Speaking of jewels, does this world looks like a box of jewels for you, Momonga?"
She called him as Momonga. Meaning, she spoke to him as Milleadh.
Momonga turned his head into the scenery.
The starry sky, the trees, the grass plains, the fresh-pure air. Those were not found in their original world.
A box of jewels. A treasure.
Maybe Miyako is affected by her dragon's trait which loves treasures, he thought.
"As you say, Mill. It's like a box of jewels."
"Then–"
Miyako turned her head again into Momonga and brought her face closer to his. Which made Momonga blushed inside.
"–will you give that box to me, as a wedding gift?"
As he realized what Milleadh meant, he couldn't help but laugh.
"You sounded like Ulbert, you know?"
"It can't be helped. He was the one who taught me about being evil, after all. And he was the one who said that we must conquer the world."
"Yes. I remember. We agreed with him. Too bad we lost that vote."
Demiurge became happier and happier. That was news to him.
He sometimes wondered about the reason why his creator changed his 'personality' on his last day before he left Yggdrasil. But now, he understood clearly.
His 'personality' was changed by his creator with additional 'words'.
They were –
'To place his loyalty higher to Momonga even more than to his creator and to placed his loyalty to Milleadh as equal as his creator'.
Now he knew why his creator changed him. Ulbert Alain Odle was Momonga and Milleadh's best friend.
When a disaster brought calamity, they together will conduct death.
After Momonga and Milleadh were done laughing, Momonga said,
"You know that you have to wait if you want me to give this world to you as a wedding gift."
"I can wait. Oh! It's not just for me. It's for you as well. You are the leader. You are the king."
"And for Ainz Ooal Gown, too."
"Yes. For everything that is part of Ainz Ooal Gown."
They both chuckled. Now they had the main goal. But they knew it wouldn't be easy to accomplish.
Then, Momonga thought about it.
The first step to defending Nazarick was on the way. The next thing they had to do was collect information about this world. After they had the amount of information they needed, then they could begin the first phase to conquering the world.
Though world domination was their goal, Momonga didn't see it as an absolute goal.
If there were any players like themselves in this new world, Momonga still confident they could do something about it.
But if natives in this new world were stronger than all of Nazarick combined, he would chase 'world domination' aside and changed their main goal to survive. And he was sure that Milleadh would understand and supported him.
While Momonga was thinking, Demiurge was excited and thought that giving this world as their wedding gift was so fit for them.
They are the last two Supreme Beings who stayed. They were more deserved to rule this world more than any beings.
Demiurge made a mental note on his mind.
He and everyone who was their servants had to work harder than their bodies permitted to, for the sake of helping their master and mistress fulfilled their ambition.
To rule over this world. Be it lands, skies, or seas, they would become their possession.
"Demiurge."
Demiurge snapped his mind back to reality when he heard Momonga – who was now holding Milleadh's hand with his right hand – called his name.
"Yes, Momonga-sama? What can this servant do for you?"
"We can begin planning the steps to world domination next time. The most important thing now is we wish to hold a wedding ceremony after every defense and countermeasure plans have been set. When will those be done?"
"By my estimation, they will be done in two days from now, My Lord."
"Umu. Demiurge, you will contact Pestonya, ask her and homunculus maids to organize mine and Milleadh's wedding ceremony on the day after tomorrow. Inform her that we wish to hold that event at night time. We will talk about our wedding tomorrow night, so keep this secret between you and the organizers until we formally announce it. Any questions?"
"Yes, Momonga-sama. What about the guests and the place?"
Momonga was thinking for a while. He really wanted to invite all residences of Nazarick. But he could not risk the protection of The Great Tomb of Nazarick, as well.
After some thinking, he finally said,
"Every residence of Nazarick will be invited except Gargantua, Guren, Kyouhukou's children, every eighth floor's residence – excluding Junko, Bahamut, Victim, Aureole Omega, and Rubedo –, and of course, POP monsters. Though I feel bad for them, we cannot risk our defenses. Demiurge, I will trust you to organize those who will not be invited – excluding 'them' on the eighth floor – of their placement and defense route at the day of ceremony for protection duty. As for the place, we will use the Throne Room. Anything else?"
"How will we give the invitations to those five who lives on the eighth floor, Momonga-sama? Will you grant access to someone to give out invitations?"
"We will tell Junko, Bahamut, and Aureole Omega. As for Rubedo and Victim as well. Don't worry. We will bring Junko, Bahamut, and someone from Cherry Blossom Sanctuary to be our guards when meeting with Rubedo. Is that all?"
"Yes. Understood, Momonga-sama. This one will carry your orders after I finish this task of guarding you and Milleadh-sama."
Now their business was done, they intended to teleport back to the ninth floor until they saw Mare working at the top of the wall.
They visited Mare, praised his work, and gave him a 'Ring of Ainz Ooal Gown' as his reward.
After Albedo came to them and jealous of Mare, Momonga decided to give her one ring for her while he told Demiurge that he would prepare one for him.
Then, they retired themselves back to the ninth floor and decided to test Momonga's human form of producing a specific 'action' before they visited the eighth floor. It was a good honeymoon.
