Chapter 4
→ Arwintar Nazarick-mansion / Arachama ←
Arachama felt around in her bed. Nothing, she felt nothing. She felt around again, nothing again. She roused again and then heard the door being opened.
"Please wake mother, We already have time for lunch" Entoma said and Arachama gave up on her sleep. She got out of her bed and smelled bipedal sheep.
"I smell bipedal sheep," Arachama said and her stomach grumbled.
"I had it prepared, since I woke up earlier. Please forgive me for not remaining in bed with you" Entoma said while Arachama scooped her up.
"No problem Enti." Arachama smiled.
She went into the living room and then ate her lunch, which was indeed bipedal sheep. Entoma didn't eat with her.
"Probably ate while waiting for me to wake up." Arachama thought.
"Did something happen while I was asleep?" she asked.
"Fith was sent to the city hall, with the documents for immigrants. Yuri Alpha meanwhile gathered the list you wanted. It is placed in your office. Yuri also had the 20 maids clean and clear the former vine cellar. It is now a storage room. We then placed and sorted the goods which we could sell." Entoma reported.
"Thank you Enti. I will look over the list in a short time. Meanwhile I want to think." Arachama replied and ate.
"I could probably take over the economy, but I can't throw our money away without results. I also need to be careful what I say. They are already trying to conquer the world. Why did Monga not watch out?" Arachama sighed.
After she had eaten Arachama moved into her office and saw a list on her desk. She looked over it.
"Hmm. Slave trade is nothing I want to do, so thats out. I also want to avoid the more specific fields. If I want a steady income I would need to grasp at the basic needs. I could try to buy supplies for grain, vine, meat and beer. But those need either land or the right places to process. And those need money. I could also try over the military, but coming with weapons out of thin air seems like smuggling. It would also endanger Yuri's backstory. Hmm. Ahh what's this? A high price on paper, leather and iron? That's where I will begin" Arachama thought.
Arachama wrote her plans down and organized them, so that a plan began to evolve around them. She would start by having a few items replaced with their resources. Meaning that all the magical items, weapons etc. would go into storage below the mansion, at least after the maids did their thing. Once she had the resources, most likely iron, leather and steel, she could sell them.
Once she had enough money she would buy land with ore and a big part just outside of the city. There she would try to upscale to industrial production. The Problem here would be twofold. One would be the reactions of the authority and population. The other would be that she needed another person, preferably coming from Yuri's "homeland". But that's manageable, if necessary they could blow this step off.
Once that was done, they would start buying lands with food production and facilities with the capacity to process food.
The last step for now would be expansion into other fields.
"Yuri, are there any not from Nazarick inside the walls?" Arachama messaged.
"There are none right now, do you need assistance?" Yuri replied.
"I have made plans. I will give you the written version. Before that, how far are the maids with the storage cellar?" Arachama asked.
"They are nearly finished." Yuri answered.
"That is good. I will leave the written orders on my desk. I will also leave to Nazaricks treasury to get the resources necessary. Expect me back around afternoon till evening. Please don't rush things here and if necessary use "Message"" Arachama ordered.
"Understood lady Arachama." Yuri replied and Arachama cut the connection.
→ Nazarick / Arachama ←
"Gate" Arachama used and got to Nazarick, once there she collected CZ Delta.
"Eeeep" CZ Delta shrieked and then she was already gone. Arachama had decided that CZ would suffice for her special orders.
Arachama used "Teleportation" of her guild-ring and went to the entrance of Nazaricks treasury. She and CZ stood on virtual mountains of gold-coins. The ceiling was not in sight and she looked around. She and CZ moved farther into the vaults until Arachama stopped
"Now comes the annoying part" Arachama thought.
"CZ I need your help now. Since you are immune to toxins, you will go. On this floor is an item called "Blood Of Jormungandr". I need you to deactivate the item so I can cross." Arachama ordered. CZ nodded and moved out. After a short while she came back and nodded again.
"Thank you CZ" Arachama said, nodded and then continued to walk.
There was a red carpet on the floor and walls made of white marble. IT also had a few faux gateways. Those were never opened but looked nice when they were created. Arachama moved further and further until she saw something that looked like a bottomless black pit.
A white lettering appeared and Arachama finished the quote. She remembered that the quote was something about alchemy, but nothing more.
"Stupid password. Why weren't we able to simply use something like password123" Arachama sighed.
Once they were through that door the floor changed color. It now had a ceiling about five meters over the ground. The floor, walls and ceilings were from black marble and had a blue pattern. Inside the walls were small niches with items displayed. She saw a wide array of magical weapons, most of whom she had forgotten.
She moved with CZ further into the treasury, until she got to a door, which looked like two hands intertwined.
She opened the door and walked into a big room. It was again with black marble and blue pattern. Inside was a large carpet in purple. A small table with a couch was placed in the center. There sat a being. It had the same features as Arachama.
"Ahh, Pandora's Actor. Mongas little teen-phase." Arachama thought smiling
"You can drop the imitation." Arachama said and moved towards Pandora's Actor.
The other Arachama meanwhile developed bubbles and then melted. It formed another figure. This figure had normal skin color, which seemed rare inside the tomb. That is where the similarities to humans end however. His head only had three holes inside it, where his eyes and mouth would have been. The hands only had four fingers, which were longer than the ones from normal humans. Pandora's Actor wore a yellow-brown uniform and a militaristic hat. She remembered that he was a Greater Doppelgaenger.
"Goooood day lady Arachamaaaa" Pandora's actor yelled while bowing in a cinematic manner.
"I knew it would be bad, but this is another level when they are living" thought Arachama.
She grinned and nodded. Then she walked to the table and couch and sat beside the couch.
"We have a lot to go through Pandora, dear." Arachama said and Pandora's Actor nodded in a dramatic fashion.
"Huh. How may my humble being help you lady Arrrrrrachamaaaa" Pandora's Actor shouted and sat himself on the couch.
"I will need many resources, Pandora, let's start with leather" Arachama stated.
Pandora nodded and they would go through each part of her plan in detail and speak about potential financial issues and talk about profit.
→ Arwintar Nazarick-mansion / Yuri Alpha ←
Yuri had a stressful day, since she wanted to do her bit for Lady Arachamas plans and perform them perfectly. Once the homunculi maids had done their work with the cellar they started to bring the weapons, magical items and other goods into the lower cellar. That is until they were finished. Afterwards the homunculi maids, aside from Fith left for the day, but promised to help with the sheds on the property.
Yuri then proceeded to work in her office until Entoma walked in.
"How can I help you siser?" Yuri asked.
"I have a question." Entoma said and seated herself.
"What question would it be?" Yuri asked.
"Since the day we were transported into this world the supreme beings seem strange don't they?" Entoma asked.
"Hmm, I didn't think about that. But I understand what you mean. But still, they are the supreme beings. We just follow their orders and that's it" Yuri shrugged.
"That makes sense. Thank you for clearing up my mind" Entoma nodded.
"Lady Arachama has quite some work for us, right?" Yuri asked Entoma.
"That's just her being a supreme being. It is probably a test for us" Entoma replied.
"Sounds right," Yuri replied.
In that moment Fith ran inside, bowed and tried to speak.
"Yuri Yamana, a young woman just knocked at the front door. I let her wait in the foyer." Fith stated.
"Entoma, please stay here, I will deal with this." Yuri ordered and followed Fith.
Once she entered the foyer she saw a blond girl with blond shoulder length hair. She had bound it back. The clothing was bad quality, even for a citizen of this "good" empire. She held a staff.
"Good day, miss?" Yuri asked.
"My name is Arche Eeb Rile Furt. I would like to speak with the magic caster of this mansion." Arche replied.
"What is wrong with her? Need information. Let's humor her a bit." Yuri thought.
"Lady Arachama, please excuse my intrusion. We got an unexpected visitor. I will try to get information. I will report back when we are in the clear" Yuri messaged.
"I understand. I will wait eagerly for your message then" Arachama replied.
"We shall talk in the living room. Please be my guest. Fith, would you be so kind and prepare some tea?" Yuri asked Fith, who simply nodded and went to the kitchen.
Yuri meanwhile led the Arche to the living room. They sat down and Yuri just looked at Arche.
"I saw a big magical presence inside this mansion. I am sorry for intruding onto your privacy. But since I can't learn magic from the academy by Fluder Paradyne, thanks to my family situation, I would like to meet them." Arche said, eyes glued to the floor.
"How do you see magic? As far as I know you can only see matter" Yuri asked.
"I have a Talent. I can use it to see the strength of magic. It is the same that the court magician Fluder Paradyne possesses. I train mine since it is not so far developed than his though." Arche replied.
"So you trained your pretty eyes and saw a strong presence inside this mansion?" Yuri summarized and Arche nodded.
"Then I want to test this ability. Can you activate it and tell me how many people are inside this mansion?" Yuri said and Arche nodded again. Her eyes flashed and then glowed with a golden taint.
"I see you, the maid Fith, who brings the trais and should be here in a few seconds and a presence in this room" Arche said and pointed to Yuri's office.
"Terrifying. I should ask Arachama." Yuri thought.
"Lady Arachama, we have a problem of the accidental sorts." Yuri messaged.
"I will come over now," Arachama replied.
A portal opened and Arachama walked through. Yuri went on her knee and Arche just looked at Arachama in shock. Entoma walked out of the office to Yuri and also kneeled. Fith walked in, placed the tray with tea on the table and also began to kneel.
Arche seemed to get the hierarchy of the room and also began to kneel.
→ Nazarick / Arachama ←
Arachama had just laid down on her couch in Ainzs office. She had a long meeting with Pandora's Actor. Luckily she now had the resources safed for her endeavor, for now.
"Lady Arachama, we have a problem of the accidental sorts."Yuri messaged.
"I will come over now," Arachama replied.
She shot up casted "Gate" and appeared into a scene of chaos. She waited until all calmed down.
"Now I want to know what's going on. I just wanted to rest a bit in Mongas office and I got all the "Messages"" Arachama said and looked at Yuri.
She saw Yuri tremble in fear.
"Why is she fearing me?" Arachama thought, since it was a deep blow for her.
"Lady Arachama, this human, told us she saw a strong magical being inside this mansion with a so-called "talent" of hers. She was also able to detect Entoma inside my office. Please forgive me" Yuri cried.
"Ara ara ara, Yuri. So that is the situation. Please get seated, all of you." Arachama said and Fith, Yuri, Entoma and Arche sat at the table. Arachama then looked over Arche, who squirmed under her gaze.
"She looks just like her. The same eye color. The same hair color and the same teenage shine in her eyes. The same posture. She reminds me of my own" Arachama thought remembering her own daughter.
"I trained a talent I have, when I looked into this area. I live in the mansion next door. I saw a strong magical presence. It was your presence, even when the former hidden women also had a strong magical presence." Arche explained, unconsciously trembling.
"And why did you come here today?" Arachama asked.
"I didn't want to impede in the middle of the night. I also just came from a quest and was tired." Arche replied.
"So why did you come here then?" Arachama asked while walking behind Entoma. She then hugged Entoma from behind and lifted her up like a child.
"I wanted to ask for an apprenticeship from you, lady Arachama." Arche replied and got on one knee. She continued to tremble, obviously fearing her.
"You fear me. It is obvious from your trembling. So why do you ask me for an apprenticeship? And why should I accept?" Arachama asked.
"It moves too fast. I fear that I might have started to drop the dominos and now they will only grow larger and larger" Arachama thought and sighed.
"I lost my apprenticeship from Fluder Paradyne, since I had to earn the money my parents threw away. My parents were once nobles, but got sacked with the purges of the "bloody emperor". Now they live in old standards without the money to support it. They borrow money and I have to earn it back. I also need to feed my sister." Arche explained.
"What is your relationship with the family member?" Arachama asked
"I love my sister. My parents on the other hand are terrible" Arche said.
"Your sisters, how old are those?" Arachama asked.
"They are twins and are aged five" Arche replied.
"Uhh cute. Hold yourself Arachama." Arachama thought and her inner collector cried like it found something rare.
"What do they look like?" Arachama asked.
"I heard that they looked like me when I was younger," Arche told her.
It was obvious that Arche calmed down bit after bit.
"I once had a daughter. Sadly she died by an accidant by my stupid husband." Arachama said and got a bit sad.
Entoma looked up, turned around and hugged Arachama.
"Please mother, I will always be here for you" Entoma stated.
"Thank you Enti. I needed that." Arachama said and happiness reformed itself in her eyes.
Arachama moved to the table and procured papers and ink and placed them on the table.
"Let's talk about trade. You want to learn magic from me. I want to know what you are willing to offer" Arachama said.
"I would do anything. But I also have to look over my sisters." Arche started and cried a bit.
Arachama walked closer, placing Entoma out of her hands. Arachama the petted Arches head.
"Ara ara. I might have a solution. But what are you willing to sacrifice? But let me ask you. What do you do to earn your money?" Archama asked.
"I work as a worker. We get hired for a wide range of jobs, which the adventurers don't accept." Arche explained.
"I could use this to get information," Arachama smiled.
"How about following. I will hire your team. I will only pay your team while I will teach you. Once this assignment is over and you prove your worth I will help you with your sister. I will get them out of there and you three will live in this mansion." Arachama tempted her in a soothing voice.
"I have already decided my future blood and flesh" Arachama thought and fought to keep her predatory aura under control.
"What will the job entail officially and how will we do this all?" Arche asked.
"My Yuri here needs a teacher about this land. Whom to trust, whom not. Where the trade routes are. A wide array from geography, trade and behavior in higher circles." Arachama answered. Arche nodded.
It was clear to Arachama that she had Arche on the line. Arche didn't fight back and simply nodded.
"Only two further questions. One would be the pay and the second would be if I could first ask my group." Arche asked, her voice getting more and more monotone.
"I would say, from the price list I got, that a gold coin plus meals are a good deal. Or what would you propose?" Arachama asked.
"So it would be one gold coin for the whole group?" Arche asked.
"No. One gold coin per person per day." Arachama stated and Arche was shocked.
"That is extremely generous of you, lady Arachama" Arche replied.
"Then I hope that your group provides adequate service. If your parents try something, just tell me." Arachama said.
"I will. I will also run to gather my group. I should be back till evening. If all goes well we should start tomorrow." Arche nearly sang from happiness.
"Fith, please lead Arche here to the foyer. Arche, here is the paper with the contract I wrote down. It stated the services provided by your group, I don't know how your group is named, you can fill it in please." Arachama said. Arche nodded.
"I will go then, have my thanks lady Arachama." Arche said and left with Fith leader Arche.
"Why did she talk so monotone? I will ask Monga later." Arachama thought.
"Yuri, you will get these lessons. I want you to take these lessons like a sponge takes water. Enti, we both will cuddle in my room now.
"When Fith comes back, Yuri tell her to collect me when Arche comes back. I can't lose now, it would be unbecoming of me" Arachama said and grinned evilly.
Arachama and Entoma went to her bedroom and cuddled. After some time Entoma fell asleep. This was good for Arachama, since she also had to do some brainstorming with Monga.
"Hi Monga, I might need your help, since I might need a second brain on this question. Do you have time?" Arachama messaged Ainz.
"I have time. What do you think?" Ainz replied.
"I had a meeting. In that meeting the stranger went from scared like a deer into an obedient puppet within a few minutes. Do you have an idea why?" Arachama answered.
"I would think it has either to do with your racial-level or job-classes." Ainz replied.
"Like your lack of emotions Monga?" Arachama asked.
"Similar. I don't think that it was the racial-level, since the humans in this world should fear you. But maybe one of your job-classes. You had many job-classes with the title "mother" in them. I mean "mother of spiders" and "mother of calamities". Maybe something from them? But these are all thoughts" Ainz monologue.
"Then so be it. But thanks for your thoughts" Arachama replied and cut the connection.
"At least I can think about something while cuddling with my cute Enti." Arachama thought and snickered.
After only two hours Fith knocked at the bedroom. Arachama looked and Entoma was still asleep. Arachama placed Entoma inside her bed and tucked her in tightly. She then went outside of her bedroom. There stood Fith and Arche.
"Lady Arachama. Arche came back. Her group is also here, but they talk with Yuri. It seems that their leader wants to gauge her personality. Arche meanwhile was sent with me here, by Yuri." Fith reported.
Arche kneeled and waited for Arachama.
"Please take a seat, Arche." Arachama said.
"As you wish, lady Arachama." Arche said and took out the contract she received from Arachama. It was signed.
"Ara ara. Going directly to the point. That is nice of you. I also see that it is signed. Fith, please place it in my office, then bring some tea please." Arachama ordered and Fith eagerly began her orders.
"So your team is named foresight?" asked Arachama and Arche nodded.
"Good. From today on you will come here. Officially you will read some old books about spells. Unofficially I will teach you. I am specialized in summoning. We will start with small spiders." Arachama said.
"If you wish, lady, Arachama." Arche replied.
"Ara, you don't need to call me "lady"" Arachama replied.
"Mommy is enough" she continued her sentence in her head.
"What tier can you reliably cast?" Arachama asked.
"I can cast tier 3 spells" Arche answered.
"Then we will start by summoning a "House Spider". Quite helpful little spiders. They can be used to deplete the mana of your enemy. They can also work to survey your own home. They sadly can't communicate. That is why they will jump onto your face if there is an uninvited guest. " Arachama summoned one. It was small like a fingertip. Arachama petted it and then placed it on her back.
"It is a tier 3 spell. We will train for the next few weeks." Arachama stated and Arche nodded.
"Good. Now tell me more about your family." Arachama asked.
Arche explained how they were supposed to be nobles. Sadly her parents were seen as incompetent by the current Emperor. Arche dropped out of the academy to support her sisters, who she wanted to take away from her parents.
"Sounds like I will at least be needed" Arachama thought
"Ara. It's already night. Please go to Yuri for further instructions and to meet your team. I will go to my room. See you tomorrow." Arachama said. Arche simply nodded and then yawned.
"She is cute doing that." Arachama thought.
Arche left and Arachama went into her room. Entoma was still asleep. Arachama left towards her office. She placed the contract away and thought.
"Arachama?" Ainz messaged.
"Yes Monga?" she replied.
"Are you still awake?" Ainz asked, sounding shocked.
"Yes. What do you need, or is it only the restless night of an undead?" Arachama asked.
"It's the letter. Do you need some help with some thoughts?" Ainz asked.
"I am just happy. Remember the girl we talked about? She was here to learn magic. I will teach her. Later she will be an asset for Nazarick. I can't wait." Arachama messaged.
"Are you sure it will work out?" Ainz asked.
"I got a contract with the "Unbroken Vow"- paper, if she wants to try something, I wish her much entertainment in a torturous death." Arachama snickered
"That's quite secure." Ainz replied, astonished.
"As all deals with us should be. Now, how far are you with your quest, ohh noble knight? Did the beast already show itself?" Arachama teased Ainz.
"It's going well." Ainz answered.
"That is good. Then I will go, drink my tea and then go to sleep. Good night, great knight Monga." Arachama replied and cut the connection.
"I can't wait." Arachama thought and shined with happiness.
→ Arwintar mansion of Furt / Arche ←
Once Arche had left the mansion of Lady Arachama she went to celebrate with her comrades. They paid for her drinks, since she didn't have money. After some beers she went home and now she stood in front of the mansion. A look of disgust plastered on her face. She couldn't move inside, knowing that her parents were working her to death.
"I need to impress Lady Arachama with both service and learning." Arcche thought determinedly. She steeled herself and then went inside.
She was greeted by the butler of the house. She knew that he had not received a pay in a year and had to live from scratch.
In the living room sat her parents. Her mother was middle aged and had long blond hair. She wore extravagant clothing. Her father on the other hand had blonde hair, bound on his back and a blonde mustache. He wore usual attire for nobles. Even though they weren't nobles anymore. Arche couldn't help herself anymore. She felt exhausted and resentful when seeing her parents, if so slightly more for her father.
She then saw her mother and father fawning over a lamp she didn't recognise. She then nearly threw up but fought the vomit down.
"We don't have money and yet you put our family deeper and deeper into an abyss. What do you think you're doing?" Arche asked, trying not to be violent.
"We are trying to get back to the stand we belong to. You could help us by marrying a noble man." Her father stated.
"We could try to arrange a marriage." The mother spoke.
"How much do we owe now?" Arche simply asked.
"Only 250 gold coins. Once we are nobles again we will have more than enough to pay the debt back." her father simply said.
"As if. But I should ask Lady Arachama if I can take the girls over when I am I can be sure that they are safe." Arche thought. It was strange to her. The arachne seemed much more motherly to her than her own parents.
Arche just shook her head and went to the room of her sisters. She saw them awake and decided to cuddle with them.
The sisters looked like younger versions of her. The only difference was that they didn't hold her talent. But otherwise they had the same eye color. They also wore better dresses than her leather garment. But that was due to her needing sturdier clothing than noble clothes. Her sisters were Kuuderika and Ureirika
"Big sister, are you here longer now?" One of them asked.
"I got a nice job. It is close by. I might even be able to take you with me for the days. But I will ask for it tomorrow. But it is already late now. Please, let's just go to sleep." Arche asked and they went to bed.
The night went without any events, aside from Arche testing her eyes and looking at the mansion of Arachama. She saw multiple signatures, all of them weaker than her new master. But it seemed that they were mostly still stronger than most of the normal people. This thought was reassuring on one side and terrifying on the other. But she knew that it was too late for it.
The next morning Archa woke up and walked down into the foyer of the mansion from her parents. She tried to cast "House Spider" but it seemed to take some time. But she felt the loss of mana, which meant that she only needed to train.
Her parents were sitting at the table in the living room. They looked at her and signaled for her to come closer.
"We want to know where you are going." Her father ordered.
"I will go and earn money. But what do you care about?" Arche said.
"That is good." Her mother replied.
"I might even be able to take my sister with me after tomorrow. Though it is not set into stone." Arche said. Her parents' eyes gleamed with happiness.
"That would be good. We got an invitation for a party and they are still too young. We thought that you could go with us this evening. To find a suitable husband" Arches' father stated.
"It will be hard. I don't know how long my job will take. Any new faces at the party?" Arche asked.
"Might gather information now. Could pay off big time" Arche thought.
While her parents weren't noble anymore, they still moved within their circles. This meant that her parents were the only way of getting gossip from higher up.
"No. But I heard that the mansion next to us was sold not long ago." Her father said with snide remarks.
"You know that is our neighbor? She lives right next door to us." Arche stated.
"How would you know who that is?" Her mother inquired, probably fearing that Arche did something. If they knew.
"I had a job yesterday where I met her in her mansion. She seems kind, if you don't cross in a bad way. She also bought that mansion, not rented it like you do ours." Arche said.
"How rich can she be? She isn't a noble" Her father sneered.
"We also aren't nobles. You just pretend." Arche smiled.
"We will be nobles again in a short while." Her mother exclaimed.
"I will go to work. I might take Ureirika and Kuuderika with me tomorrow. Our client had a prolonged contract with us since yesterday. With a bit of luck I can learn more as a caster since the client has a big library with a lot of books on spells and mana-theory. I will tell you tomorrow evening if it worked out." Arche said and simply walked outside of her home.
She needn't go far to meet her team.
One of them wore heavy armor with an overcoat. He also carried a book in his arms. He had blond hair and a blond, kept beard. This was Roberdyke Goltron. He was a cleric and one of the nicest people she had the pleasure of knowing. He even taught her to read, since her parents didn't care enough to teach her anything.
Then there was Imina. She wore leathery clothing. She had purple hair and pointed ears, a sign that she was a half-elf. She carried her bow on her back. She was currently hugging her friend, until she saw Arche coming to them. Imina and Arche helped each other many times. Most crucial was that Arche taught Imina some minor spells while Imina taught her archery. Still both are not proficient enough to use this though.
Her friend was a man with blond hair, with the exception of a red strand. He wore normal clothing and two sabers. This was Hekkeran Termite. He was the leader of foresight. He had a brash nature, but if you didn't cross him in a bad way, he was kind. Arche was happy for his help. She had needed a way to earn money and he had helped her by taking her on his team.
"Ahh, Arche. How are you? I didn't see you going down this street." Roberdyke grinned.
"Hi. That is because I live nearby." Arche smiled.
"Ahh. Well. Now let's get inside. Wouldn't want to make a bad first impression, do we?" Roberdyke asked and all shook their heads.
So they moved inside.
Once they went through the forest around the mansion they got to the entrance of the mansion. They were greeted by Fith, who was currently cutting down the overgrowth near the mansion.
"Good morning miss Fith" Roberdyke greeted.
"Good morning. I assume you want to meet mistress Yuri Yamana?" Fith asked, while all nodded.
"I will lead you to her. Arche, please go to the part we discussed. There will be books you can read. If there are problems, please tell me." Fith said and smiled towards Arche.
"I will. See you later."
"What are you doing there?" Imina asked.
"I got permission to learn a few new spells. In turn I provide the caster with help, since the caster doesn't speak our language." Arche said and Imina simply shrugged.
Arche went through the foyer and into the northern part of the mansion. She opened the door to find the most comfy living room she ever had the pleasure to see.
"Good morning lady Arachama." Arche greeted and went on one knee.
"Good morning. I see that you tried to cast,since your mana is slightly lower than yesterday.
Did you try to cast "House Spider"?" Arachama asked her.
"Yes, Lady Achamana. Sadly it didn't work. But I know that I can cast it, since the mana was drained." Arche said.
"That is good. I had Fith prepare a breakfast for your friends, while you and I will eat breakfast here." Arachama said.
"Thank you lady Arachama." Arche thanked her. Arachama then took her with her to the table in the living room. Arche saw Arachama take place on a strange couch, while she sat down on the couch she saw yesterday. She saw Arachama take a plate with multiple steaks and buns. On the plate for her she saw buns with sausages, cheese and olives.
"I didn't know what you liked for breakfast. So I looked at customs here. I hope it isn't terrible. In the meantime I will eat my meat. Albion sheep. It is tasty, you should try it." Arachama said.
"I would certainly like to try one day, Lady Achama." Arche nodded.
"One day. But now let's talk about family. It gives me joy. Then after breakfast we will go over theory. What do you say?" Arachama asked and Arche nodded.
→ Arwintar Nazarick-mansion / Arachama and Arche ←
Arachama was happy. She loved it when her friends from the guild told her about their families, even if it sometimes sting.
She listened to Arche and how she remembered her childhood and her sisters. Then Arche soured and looked defeated.
"What is on your mind Arche.?" Arachama asked.
"I would like to ask if I could take my sisters with me tomorrow onward. I fear my parents are trying stupid things. They plummeted themselves into debt again. Please." Arche pleaded
"Yess, Yess, Yesss. Behave yourself Arachama." Arachama thought, while a Mini-Arachama was cheering in her head and popping a bottle of champagne.
"Ara Ara. Of course. I love children. Though I would need a maid to look after them, that wouldn't be a problem. If all goes to our deal they would need to get used to this mansion anyways." Arachama smiled.
"Thank you lady Arachama." Arche bowed deeply, her hair nearly touched her bun.
"No problem. Eat and then we begin." Arachama said.
→ Arwintar Nazarick-mansion / Fith ←
Fith had a busy day. She needed to clear the pathway to the mansion from overgrowth and then clear the pathway itself. She also had to take care of the normal duties. Luckily for her she had started the soup early enough, giving her enough time to start with the pathway.
She heard Yuri Alpha and the workers from her spot and how she learned the letters of the Baharut Empire. Yuri also learned from the others. But arachama was adamant about the local alphabet.
The Day went on. Lunch was served. Soup with chicken and bread for Yuri and her group. On orders Entoma had prepared some "albion sheep" for lady Arachama and her student.
Lady Arachama was also adamant over the treatment of this group. They were expected to be nice to all of them, but especially to Arche. Fith could tell that lady Arachama had plans with her and therefore followed her orders diligently.
In the afternoon, she was sweeping the pathway when she prepared the dinner for Yuri, Arche and Arachama. She was told that foresight, except for Arche, would be leaving before dinner. This held true. Even though she could feel the looks from the armored one amongst them.
"What a pity. If he knew that we aren't the angels he thinks we are." Fith sighed.
