C4 Goblin headbutts.

Bonk-! The sound escaped Maple's ears as she hardened her will, determined to reach the throne deep within Nazarick's tomb without killing a single NPC! This is how Maple would do it!

Bonk-! Like a fly the sound was beginning to annoy Maple.

That was the way she would destroy all the pride of the Great Tomb of Nazarick and finally earn the title of "Conqueror of Nazarick" (currently vacant no-oficial title donated by the community)!

Bonk-! The sound was becoming irritating.

Coming back to reality, Maple realized that she was surrounded by little green men exhausted by the fatigue of constantly hitting a wall without result, this is something that happens not so often, but it was surprising that happens two times in the same day

|Goblins!|

Maple exclaimed as her mouth began to salivate raising her hand in a protective manner she told to Syroup:

|Syruup protects the villagers I'm going to prepare the dinn-|

Maple's words were cut when the turtle stuffed Maple's entire head into his mouth, Maple started waving her hands in some panic.

|Wow! I'll share dinner with you so don't get mad!.. please?|

Syroup shook Maple some more.

| Stop! That tickles! I will not eat the Goblins, is that what you wanted? so just let me go!|

Maple could be a stupid-airhead sometimes, but Syroup was more aware of the world than she was most of the time so it was on him being responsible of Maple now that Risa wasn't here, and Syroup knew better than Maple what was happening here, and above all, Maple lost herself in her thoughts ignoring the fear of poor Enry who blew a horn to summon these Goblins and now, after intimidating them with her presence, Maple wanted to turn them into dinner, if there was ever a time for Syroup to take charge it was now.

Only when Maple said she wouldn't eat the gonlins Syroup let Maple go, she had a serious look on her face trying to act as if none of that had happened even though her face was a little reddish, as she looked at the goblins and Enry, Maple sighed seeing that at least they weren't making fun of her, but then Enry's sister Nemu couldn't help but laughing at Maple's drooling face and messy hair, wiping the drool off her and somewhat annoyed by the blood, Maple tried to fix her appearance a bit before turning to the sisters. Then her eyes lit up as she looked at the Goblins a second time, she wiped the saliva from her mouth and cleared her throat a bit but she couldn't kill the emotion that came out of her at her voice.

| Are these the goblins of Ainz Ooal Gown?|

Enry was as skeptical as someone talking to a cannibal could be, she asked:

| What relationship do you have with my savior?|

Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick

Ainz saw it and didn't believe it, the greatest abomination of Yggdrasil was there, devouring humans alive with a cute face that reminded him of Aura and Mare, but Ainz was unable to imagine the twin elves happily devouring people. No, Ainz couldn't be fooled, he knew more than anyone that one's appearance didn't define what one would be behind the mask, it was impossible for a person, a girl especially, to play a VRMMORPG game using her real appearance (be thankful that she I don't use her real name), moreover, a normal girl would never devour a person in such a cruel and horrible way, especially knowing that this was no longer a game. (because, just a stupod wouldn't find it out yet... Right?)

Ainz could only imagine the bloodthirsty psychopath who controlled Maple's avatar and how happy he must be to be able to bring all of his dark fantasies to life, a shiver ran through Ainz's spine causing the emotion nullification thing to activate, that thing that was Maple should be especially crazy if he kept deciding to eat people alive even though this was real.

Ainz remembered one of the urban legends that ran through the Yggdrasil forums that said that every heteromorph that unluckily meets Maple alone will always end up being eaten alive, Ainz also remembered one of Maple's abilities that were never nerfed by admins, the title that stood in their way more than anything in this world, earned by eating an insane amount of undead [necrophage] which states that Maple receives 70% damage reduction from undead part birth and heals 0.5% of his maximum health for each undead unit that dies in his presence, the undead were incapable of feeling fear but Ainz felt that if it weren't for his body it would be shaking non-stop, he suddenly doubted about spreading the name of Ainz Ooal Gown throughout the continent looking for his friends but he quickly dismissed his concern, now more than ever he must look for his companions and anyone capable of stopping the dark knight of absolute obliberation (Title given by the community in the forums) but he should be careful to begin with, he could not leave Nazarick in the open, also it would not hurt to build a fake Nazarick, maybe, just by sheer luck, Maple would be satisfied to destroy this fake Nazarick.

But Ainz still felt a bit restless, and there was a lot of information missing to actually do anything in this world, everything he planned to research in the village was lost the moment he didn't get to the village to begin with, if he wanted informations of this world he should search another place now, luckily for him, Maple and her min-maxing strategy never allowed her to gain utility abilities or anti-divination magic, that was something that the reast of her guild was taking care of, so keeping a constant eye on her was the wisest thing to do, illusions also had a particular effect on her, on especially if she was not in combat, but broadly speaking they were ineffective because if she really wanted to, she could only destroy everything in a range around her.

Actually, aside from Maple's bloodlust, Ainz didn't know her intentions, how should he deal with her in this circumstance? Ainz was not sure about it and he put a hand to his skeletal chin in thought. They had never really had a proper conversation outside of the role-playing, deep down Ainz really wished that Maple was a cute girl and not a bloodthirsty psychopath, even if she was actually a "he" or something like that, it was still better, also he didn't want to kill someone so similar to Aura and Mare, but he will not doubt if he need to kill Maple to protect them, something in his conscience made him want to protect them as his children, not just them, all the floor guards and the Nazaricks NPCs

Ainz truly wished that Maple was a cute girl and not a bloodthirsty psychopath, that her "dinner" from the village just to protect it in her own crazy way, that the last message she sent to Ainz was just a parting joke, that her way to eat people alive…. Well that was hopeless. If Ainz could start a conversation of his own with Maple that would be of great help, moreover, now that he knew that Maple was in this world it is possible that someone else had arrived, now more than ever it was time to grab his bones and start looking for his guild mates. However, if the worst happened and he had to kill Maple, then he needed to be prepared, when the time came, World Items, Floor Guardians, and any allies he found in this world, all to take down Maple, "The dark knight of absolute obliteration"

Well, that's chapter four, although without much progress, that's what happens with short chapters after all, but hey, I already have two others written, among them this one (and this is a bit of a spoiler): Gazef, and [Atrocity]

Well, I get to work, I hope you like it

Atte.

"Maple needs a lot of love!"
