" So that's the plan, we'll call all the guardians and our NPC's to the throne room when Demiurge brings his report, which is when you two can introduce yourselves as you've planned. " Mona said as she looked at her friends.
" Now, is there any part in our scripts we need to rehearse again, or discuss your explanations further? " Mona asked as she took a sip of some orange drink from a fancy wine glass.
" No I think we're good on that, after all we all have lots of experience doing role-playing from playing YGGDRASIL, so we should be able to do this. " Vezlura said after taking a drink of dark blue liquor form a pint glasss, showing a confident smile.
" if two hours of practicing this much don't work, then it'll be a major blow to my confidence, I was after all an actor in the gaming industry in real life. " Vezlura said as she ate her food, recalling her time at her job in real life.
" Well you have professional experience, me and Mona just role-played for fun, but Ulbert did say we were good at portraying our personas." Dralza said as she took a bite of a roasted leg of Elk.
After being brought their menus, Vezlura orders a meal of boiled giant shrimp, fried scallops, and shelled crab claws from the lakes of Asgard, and a salad to go with it.
Dralza was having honey ale, with a few slow roasted, seasoned legs of Elk from the forests of Vanaheim, with savory gravy drizzled on them.
While Mona had just a ordered a bottle of a sweet orange drink, though she didn't really needed to eat or drink, and couldn't taste anything.
But she could still physically do so, and was able to mildly feel the stuff she ate or drank, and she could still enjoy the smell of them.
" So as we discussed, me and Dralza are going to test to see if our human forms can fool the Pleiades, do you think their outside waiting for us Mona? " Vezlura asked as she finished her food and looked at her undead friend.
" They should be, they said they would be waiting outside my room's door, anyway be prepared for them to be shocked at seeing you. " Mona said as she took another sip of her drink.
" Yeah I'm sure they will be, this will be a good way to test to see if our human firms can fool them, if it does we can use them outside of Nazarick. " Vezlura said with a smile as she drank the last of her drink.
" Indeed, if we can use them it will help us with our other plans and help us move forward, and allow us to travel outside without any problems. " Mona said, having told Dralza and Vezlura about the city of E-Rantel and the adventure Guild There
" Alright, let's get ready for this, I'd like to see the rest of Nazarick, and not have to worry about being seen in our own home. " Dralza said after she finished her food and drink and stood up.
As she did, she walked over to a full body mirror in Mona's room and looked at her self, before silently activating her skill [ Human form ].
As soon as the skill was activated, Dralza felt a sensation similar to how water felt flowing across her whole body, feeling the changes as they took place.
She saw her body being to get smaller, as did her wings, tail, and claws, till they were gone, while her scales appeared to sink beneath her now pale skin.
As her body finished it's metamorphosis, Dralza now saw a 4ft'9 tall, young, petite human girl looking back at her.
She had, short, spiky, bright neon blue hair, with a neck length spiky ponytail, gold brown eyes, and the left side of her face and neck had deep, flame like scars.
In this form, she now wore a black silk hooded cloak over a set of black leather armour with dark blue scales on it, and had black metal elbow and knee pads on.
She also had a knee length dark blue scale skirt, lightweight black metal boots, and lightweight black metal clawed gauntlets, and wore wore a thin silver chain emerald necklace.
Her armour showed her arms and legs, except for her elbows, shoulders, knees, hands and feet, reveling she had more of the flame like scars on her pale white skin body.
She had a broad sword on the right side of her waist, it had a black metal hilt with gold accents, and large round gold zircon on the pummel and was in a black sheath.
She also had a thin short sword on the left side of her waist, it had a black hilt with dark brown accents and a black half circle shaped pummel.
" Well that was a new experience, so that's how this skill works now, it looks the same as I made it back in the game, and my gear I set for this form appeared as well, that's good. " Dralza thought as she looked over her human form.
" Alright I think I'm through with my preparations, Vezlura your next. " Dralza said in her new soft, slightly scratchy voice, taking a seat back on the couch.
" Alrighty. " Vezlura said as she walked over to the full body mirror.
As she stood in front of the mirror, she activated her [ Human form ] skill, and a moment later her body began to change in response
Vezlura's body began to glow a soft grey, changing into a more adult body as her wings retracted into her body, as the rest of her body changed as well.
Her snow white skin became a pale, flawless, Caucasian toned skin, and her Heterochromic eyes both became light forest green.
Her hair became light chestnut brown, now neck length and slightly less spiky, and she now stood at 5ft' 12, and had a more toned figure.
She wore a set of marvelous gold heavy plate armour, with blue and white accents, and had intricate embroidery on it.
It had a blue cape made of metallic thread, with white accents, and had a thick white fur collar, and a gold emblem of a soaring eagle on it.
She had a large broad sword on her right hip, the hilt a dark blue with a eagle shaped blade guard made of gold, with a diamond shaped blue sapphire on it.
" Well everything looks good, so what next Mona? " Vezlura asked in her new, soft yet mature voice as she took a seat next to Dralza.
" Well now that your both done, we'll head out and see how they react, you both ready? " Mona asked as she looked at her two friends.
" Yeah, I'm good to go. " Vezlura said with a confident smile.
" I'm as ready as I'll ever be. " Dralza said with a lazy wave of her hand, as she leaned back in the coach.
" Alright, here we go. " Mona said, as she and her friends got up form their seats and headed to leave Mona's room.
As Mona and her friends entered the hallway, they saw the Pleiades standing in a straight line near the wall facing the doors.
" Hello Lady Mon-
They began saying as they say Mona walking out of her room, until they spotted Vezlura and Dralza in their human forms standing beside her.
The air in the hallway suddenly air felt much colder, their blank looks of shock, began to morph into looks of anger.
" You vermin, you dare tread in the scared home of the Supreme beings, and stand next to Lady Mona with your filthy presence, I will exterminate you as the pests you are! " Narberal said with venom, as lighting arched around her hands.
" Oh, can I have the small one's arms, I haven't ate yet~ " Entoma said in her cute voice, staring at Dralza's human form.
" Oh I want to the taller one, I'd like to have fun with her. " Lupusreigna said with a cheerful smile, though her eyes showed a sadistic hint to them.
" I'd like to have her when your done Lupusreigna, she looks tasty. " Solution said with a sadistic smile, as she looked over Vezlura's human form.
" That's enough. " Mona said with her cold, flat lifeless voice, causing all the Pleiades stare at her in disbelief.
" B-But Lady Mona, there humans, filth that have invaded the scared home of the Supreme beings, they shou-
" Alright, I've had enough of this. " Dralza said with a sign.
" Alrighty, and just when it was getting fun. " Vezlura said with a pout.
" Silence you wretched insec-
But before Narberal could finish her sentence, both Vezlura and Dralza had deactivated their human forms, and quickly returned to their true forms right before them.
" Wh-bu-bu, L-Lady Dralza, Lady Vezlura?! " Narberal managed to stutter out, as she and all the Pleiades stood their, looking at the two Supreme beings with utter dumbfounded looks.
" Wow, this worked better then I thought it would, look at their faces, their dumbstruck. " Vezlura said with delighted laughter and a happy smile.
" Alright Vezy, that's enough of teasing the poor girls, you've had your fun. " Dralza said as she looked at the giggling Nephilim.
" Hey now, you went along with my prank, and you can't say you didn't find their reactions funny as well. " Vezlura said with an amused grin, as she fluttered her wings and floated up in the air at eye level with Dralza.
One of the racial skills Vezlura had from her angelic side was [ Continuous flight ], a skill that allowed her to use [ Flight ] with no time limit or use of mana.
" Alright, it was kinda funny. " Dralza admitted, smiling as she chuckled lightly.
" W-W-We sincerely apologize for our disrespectful behaviour Supreme ones, if we had even the slightest idea that it was you. " Narberal said with dread in her voice, as she and the Pleiades bowed all bowed so low their heads nearly hit the floor.
" Hey it's all right, raise your heads now, you did nothing wrong." Vezlura said in a kind tone as she smiled tenderly them.
" But we insulted you, threatened you with violence, to be so disrespectful to the Supreme ones is unforgivable. " Solution said with a trembling voice of shame.
" Yet we forgive you all, right Dralza, Mona? " Vezlura asked her friends as she looked them.
" Of course, and I'm glad to see you all so dedicated to your jobs. " Mona said with a nod.
" Yeah, y'all did nothing wrong, besides it's all Vezlura's fault in the first place, she wanted to pull this prank on you all. " Dralza said with a playful smirk.
" Yeah, sorry about that, forgive me?" Vezlura asked in a soft sweet tone she looked at the Pleiades.
" But Lady Vezlura, we almost harmed you and Lady Dralza, you shouldn't be apologizing. " Narberal said with shame as she, Solution, and Lupusreigna blushed a deep red, seeing one of the Supreme ones apologizing.
" Oh you sweet girls, like we said all is forgiven, now let's move on from this, alright? " Vezlura asked, as she landed in front of them in a sweet tone as she smiled at them.
" As you wish, Supreme ones. " Narberal said on the behalf of the Pleiades, as they all bowed to them.
" Forgive me Lady Dralza, Lady Vezlura, but may I ask where have you been all this time, we thought your had left like the others. " Narberal said curiously as she and the others raised their heads, looking at them with eyes of joy.
" Huh left, what are you talking about, me and Dralza have just been in hyphenation in Nazarick, we have been since we returned after the last time we went outside. " Vezlura said with a confused tone, tilting her head the side.
Effortlessly telling them what she, and her friends had decided to go with, as their explanation to all of Nazarick for their long absence and reappearance.
" Please forgive me, but I don't quite understand Supreme ones. " Narberal said with shame as she bowed her head.
" Hey that's alright Narberal, in a bit we'll be calling a meeting in the throne room, we'll explain everything then, and Sebas or Demiurge will inform you afterwards. Vezlura said as she lazily floated in front of them as she drifted through the air.
" Of course Supreme ones. " Narberal said with bow to them in understanding.
" Now then, we'll be teleporting to the throne room, please resume your usual duties, and please refrain from telling others about these two until it is officially announced. " Mona said in her lifeless voice.
" Of course Supreme ones. " Yuri said as they all bowed to them before they teleported away.
" Huha, well that was something, I didn't think they'd react so hostile like that. " Vezlura said as she sat on the steps near the throne, allowing herself to relax.
" Yeah, that was pretty surprising, but at least now we know our human forms work. " Dralza said, as she took out a black cigar and march box from her inventory, taking a long drag after she lit it.
" Yes, that was very surprising, I was actually worried they might attack, I'm just glad nothing bad happened. " Mona said as she sat in her throne.
" Now that that's done, I'm going to inform Albedo to gather the floor guardians, and our NPCs and wait outside to the throne room doors until we're ready for them. " Mona said as she sat in her throne.
" I'm looking to seeing everyone's NPC's now that their real and alive, especially my Azura and Jilla! " Vezlura said excitedly as she flew into the air, recalling her two NPCs she made.
" Yeah, I'm excited to see Morela again, and all the others as well. " Dralza said with a smile as she set down on the steps near the throne, exhaling a large puff of black smoke.
" Yes I'm excited as well, but till then we need to practice our lines and routine a bit, so we're ready for them, but we can't make them wait too long. " Mona said as she looked at her friends.
" Yeah your right, alright then let's get started on operation Role-playing! " Vezlura said with a cheerful smile as they all got busy practicing.
" Huh, where am I, why can't I move!? " Nigun thought in panic, as he woke in a dark room made of dark stone brick.
The only source of light being a strange glowing light purple crystal mounted on the ceiling above him, and a few more on the walls throughout the room.
He tried to move, but he could not move his body barely an inch, due to the metal restraints on his head and limbs.
Though he could not see it, he was strapped to a metal square frame, with his arms and legs cuffed to a corner.
" My, my your awake, how are you feeling~" Came a mature voice woman's voice, dripping with a sultry tone.
" Hm!? " Nigun grunted in surprise after hearing the voice, only able to make muffled slurred noises, due to the metal bar strapped between his teeth as a gag.
In darkness of the room, the soft sounds of heels and boots could be heard coming his way, getting closer with each step.
A few moments later, a tall, curvy, pale woman stepped into the light, up close and in the light, it was clear to see she was most certainly not human.
She had a curvy, buxom hourglass human figure, and had pale, light grey skin, like that of a drowned corpse, and had combed back, pale back length silver ash grey hair.
Her eyes were a cloudy milky white, and had no pupils, looking like the eyes of a corpse rather than a living creature.
She wore a very revealing, and alluring outfit of tight fitting, shiny smooth leather straps, thin chains, and black leather shorty shorts with a studded black leather belt.
She also wore a shiny black surgical face mask, with a hot pink heart in the center of it, and wore a metal studded leather collar, and black thigh high heel boots.
She looked like a dominatrix, she gave an equally attractive and scary presence, though given the scenario this was something out of a horror game.
Walking beside the human looking monster, was a young girl dressed in a strange red and black outfit, who was shorter and clearly not human as well.
" This is the one Lady Akura? " Neuronist asked the Oni demon girl beside her.
" Yes this is one, this one had the heights rank among those that attacked the village. " Akura said coldly as she looked at the restrained human with no pity.
" Hm, guaah nuah gyu!" Nigun grunted, recognizing Akura's voice from before, and realizing what she was now that he could see her demonic features clearly.
" He is your top priority, here's a document stating what Lady Mona wants you to find out. " Akura said as she reached into her inventory, pulling out a beige folder and handing it to the torturer.
"Thank you Lady Akura, will you be staying to watch, if so I can prepare you a chair and some refreshments. " Neuronist offered after taking the folder.
" No thank you, I've been called to attend a meeting with Lady Mona and the floor guardians after I'm done with this." Akura said politely with her usual flat tone as she refused the offer.
" Oh, I apologize for holding you up Lady Akura, I'll send a report of my findings as soon as I'm done. " Neuronist said, though her expression was hidden by the face mask, gave the impression she was smiling from her tone.
" Don't worry you weren't, now if you'll excuse me, I'll be on my way. " Akura said, sparing a cold, angry look of disgust at Nigun, before using her ring of Ainz Ooal Gown to teleport elsewhere.
" So your Captain Nigun huh, it's a pleasure to meet you~ " Neuronist said as she softly caressed his cheek as she looked at him with her milky white eyes.
" Hm! ' Nigun grunted, feeling Neuronist dragging the sharp tips of her long, sharp, decorated nails across his cheek, drawing blood as she did dug them into his skin.
" It's says in that report you and your friends have been quite a naughty bunch, going around destroying villages, slaughtering innocents. " Neuronist said nonchalantly, digging her nails harder as she listed what Nigun and his men had done.
" And the most heinous of your crimes is, you even had the audacity, to harm our dear Lady Mona. " Neuronist said, her voice becoming distorted and inhuman as she spoke with venom.
" We'll be spending a lot of time with another, so let's get to know one other better, huh? "Neuronist asked sweetly as she leaned in close to Nigun's face and took of her face mask.
" Hm! " Nigun grunted, his eyes going wide and his skin crawled with fear and repulsion as Neuronist's unmasked her face.
Reveling a slit like mouth that nearly went from ear to ear, filled with rows of small needle like teeth, and had a long, thin, tube like tongue.
" Well, what do you think, lovely aren't I, I was made by the supreme beings after all. " Neuronist said proudly.
Then a moment later, two of her tormentor assistants stepped into the light, each pushing a black cart near them.
On one table were many grizzly tools, clearly meant to inflict pain, the other rolled over a cart, with an exquisitely well crafted gramophone sitting on of it.
As the one pushing the table cart with the gramophone stopped near them, Neuronist walked over and fiddled with a dial on it, and placed the needle on the record.
" In case your wondering, this device is for playing music, I always like listening to music when I work, now let's begin shall we? " Neuronist asked sweetly as she picked up a scalpel, while the sound of light Opera music filled the room.
" Hmmm, hmmm! " Nigun grunted and squealed in panic, as he realize what fate awaited him, was going to be one worse than death.
" Good afternoon Lady Akura. " The maids on duty said happily as they bowed and greeted the Oni demon girl as she walked down the hall to the throne room.
" Hm, good work as always. " Akura said with a short nod and faint smile as she walked by the maids.
Though not officially a floor guardian, Akura and Pandora were level 100 NPC's, and were considered on par with one.
Like her sister Pandora, who was assigned the important task of guarding the treasury, Akura was assigned to be the captain of Aureole's bodyguards.
And both were treated with the same respect, and held the same authority as a floor guardian, being the personal creations of Mona.
" Hey Akura! "
" Hm? " Akura hummed, hearing Pandora call out to her after she turned down the hall leading to the throne room.
She saw Pandora waving at her, standing before the throne room doors, with the rest of the floor guardians, and even Albedo and Sebas where there.
" Hey Pan, it's good to I see you too, so you were called here to attend the meeting as well? " Akura asked with a faint happy smile as Pandora ran up ro her and they hugged each other.
" Yes I was, oh come and meet the floor guardians and the others, their really nice and they'll be happy to meet you! " Pandora said happily with excitement, as she lead Akura to the throne room doors.
" Everyone, I'd like you all to meet my little sister, Akura. " Pandora said, smiling happily with pride as she introduced Akura to everyone.
" Hello everyone. " Akura said nonchalantly with a flat tone and bored expression as she greeted the floor guardians..
" Hello Akura, its nice to see you again. " Albedo said with a happy smile.
" Hello Albedo, Sebas, it's nice to see you two as well. " Akura said in her usual relaxed manner as she spoke to them.
" It's a pleasure to see you again as well Akura. " Sebas said politely as he greeted her.
" Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Demiurge. " Demiurge said politely with a smile as he greeted Akura.
" Hello. "Akura said nonchalantly as she greeted the Arch-Devil.
" So that's Akura, Lady Mona's other personal creation and captain of Aureole's bodyguards, she has quite a unique presence. " Demiurge thought as he looked at Akura with his usual smile.
" Hello Akura, I'm Azure, it's a nice to meet you, and this is my twin sister Jilla . " Azure said with a happy kind smile, as she introduced herself and her twin sister.
Jilla was lv 100 doppelganger, and was Vezlura's second NPC, and she was also the second in command of Demiurge's forces.
Though they were twins, Azure and Jilla looked nothing alike, her appearance looked nearly identical to the character Envy, from Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood.
Unlike the character she was based off, Jilla was obviously female, having a large pair of double D sized breasts.
She also had a little more of a feminine body, but was toned and slim, and had light lavender skin, dark green slit eyes, and long black hair like Envy did.
She had three inch, sharp, black finger and toenails, and had a large dark ruby red serpent tattoo coiled around her left leg, going up from her foot to thigh.
She wore a black sleeves tank top like Envy did, exposing her slim toned stomach, and wore a black head band with Vezlura's guild crest on it, a purple emblem of six wings around a flame.
She also wore a black leather knee length skirt with blood red edges over a pair of black shorts, a black choker with a dark red ruby.
And wore black footwear with dark red embroidery, and the footwear only covered up her ankle and the arch of her foot.
" Hey there, nice to meet ya. " Jilla said with a smile, showing off her sharp teeth, and spoke in a voice just like Envy's.
" Hello, nice to meet you as well. " Akura said with a fait smile at the Archangel and doppelganger.
" Why hello dear, I'm Shalltear, it's a pleasure to meet you Akura. " Shalltear said, smiling as she greeted Akura.
Other than Albedo, Sebas, Morela, and Pandora, the other floor guardians hadn't met Akura in person before, what with her being stationed on the 8th floor till recently.
" Hello, nice to meet you. " Akura said with a faint smile as she greeted the vampire.
" It is nice to meet you at last, I am Cocytus, guardian of the 5th floor. " Cocytus said as he greeted the Oni warrior/assassin, breathing out a cloud of m cold air at the end.
" It's nice to meet you as well. " Akura said nonchalantly while she took in Cocytus's appearance with mild surprise and intrigue.
" And we're the guardians of them sixth floor, I'm Aura and this is my sister Mare, it's nice to meet you! " Aura said happily as she introduced herself and her sister.
" H-Hello there, it's nice to meet you. " Mare said with a nervous smile.
" Hello you two, it's nice to meet you all well. " Akura said with a faint happy smile, finding the twins Elfs endearing.
" Hey Akura, didn't expect you to be the last to get here. " Morela said with a happy smile as she greeted the Oni girl.
" I had to deliver the humans we captured at Carne to Neuronist before I came here, so Albedo you know why we're waiting outside the throne room? " Akura asked the guardian Overseer curiously.
" No, only that Lady Mona told me and to inform you all to come to the throne room doors, and wait here until she called for us to enter. " Albedo said, relying what she was told, though she was confused by the strange order as well.
" Hm, well we'll just have to wait here till then, if she's called for all of the floor guardians, Jilla, Pandora, and me, it must be very important. " Akura said nonchalantly as she turned and faced the throne room doors.
" Well it must be if we're all here, hopefully it won't be to long. " Pandora said as she stood beside Akura and adjusted her military hat.
" In the meantime how about we chat and get too know each other better while we wait? " Pandora asked curiously with a happy smile.
" Sure, is that okay with everyone? " Akura asked curiously as she looked around, too which the other floor the others nodded in agreement.
" Okay, so my first question for everyone, what's your favorite food? " Pandora asked curiously as they all chatted to pass the time and got to know more about each other.
" Hm, I see, I'll tell the others. " Albedo said, suddenly receiving a [ Message ] from Mona.
"Attention everyone, Lady Mona has just contacted me and has informed me that she is ready for us to enter the throne room. " Albedo announced, causing everyone to cease their chattering and direct their full attention to her.
Seeing this, Albedo approached the throne room's large double doors, in response the doors opened themselves and showed the massive exquisite room.
As they entered the throne room, all of them froze up seeing the sight before them, wearing looks of shock and disbelief.
There eyes went wide as some of them let out gaps of surprise and let their jaws hang open as they looked at the unbelievable sight before them.
There sitting on the throne ,was Mona wearing her usual Overlord attire, with the Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown held in her left hand.
However, standing on the left and right of the throne, was Dralza and Vezlura disguised in their human forms, watching the guardians as they gawked at them.
Demiurge smiled as he silently chuckled, immediately realizing what was going on, and was finding it amusing.
Cocytus simply exhaled a puff of cold mist, but otherwise didn't seem to react to seeing the two humans in the room.
However the same could not be said for the others, their shocked faces quickly morphing into looks of anger and hate filled scowls.
" Y-You filthy humans, how did you get into the the most sacred place of the supreme beings!? " Albedo roared, being the first to get over her shock.
She had an angry face of disgust that twisted her features, and was tightly clenching her fists as she glaring with hatred at the human girls close to Mona.
" Wow, this worked out better than I thought this would go. "Vezlura said with a big happy smile as she laughed.
" You think this is funny huh, let's see how funny you find this while I tear your guts out! " Jilla said with an angry scowl, ready to lunge at them like a wild beast.
" Please calm down everyone. " Mona said with her flat, lifeless, monotone voice, causing all of the guardians to look at her completely dumbfounded.
" B-But my Lady, these human are trespassing in the sacred home of the supreme beings, their filthy low life vermin, tarnishing the sanctity of Nazarick with their very presence! " Albedo said, looking at the two human girls with disgust and anger.
But before things went any further, Vezlura and Dralza quickly shifted back to their true forms, shocking the guardians and their NPC's even more than before.
" L-L-Lady Vezlura?! "
" L-L-Lady Dralza?! "
Upon seeing their creators in their true forms, Azure, Jilla, and Morela immediately exclaimed in utter shock and joy, as they and the others gawked at them in shock.
Azure, Jilla, and Morela felt indescribable joy and delight at seeing their creators before them, as well as the others who also felt indescribable joy.
" Hey everyone, it's nice to see you all again! " Vezlura said excitingly , smiling happily as she waved at their dumbfounded audience.
