This story will (probably) contain spoilers from the light novel.

| What were the changes in the canon of the previous chapter?
This part can be skipped by anyone, this is only for those who do not know about the light novel and have doubts about what the changes were.
First, and most obvious: the first 3 floors.
The first 3 floors are catacombs guarded by Shalltear but as you have seen the players of Ainz Ooal Gown decided to change them to suit their respective floor guardians.
Does that mean that Shalltear is not as strong as in canon? No, she is still just as strong.
How strong is the guardian of the second floor? I leave that to your imagination.
Second: the mines.
In the novel it is made clear that a guild used the Ouroboros world object to leave out the guild from the world where the mine was located and when the effect ended and they could enter to the world the mine had already been conquered.
Furious, half of the members of Ainz Ooal Gown grabbed several items from the world and tried to recover the tomb, but failed and because of that they lost their items and several levels.
In the novel they never recovered the mine and no idea if they recovered the world objects they lost.
They also didn't say if they could take Npc's out of the guild or not, but I made the assumption that they could.
Third: Citrinitas and Aella.
I want to make something clear; I am basing this on the characters in the stories I mentioned in the previous chapter, they are not reincarnated humans like the MC.
They have their own personalities and traits.
Citrinitas was designed to be able to have high grade minerals after having ordered the grave. It has a wide range of homunculi assistants.
Aella was created out of the need to have someone to guard the mine in case of another invasion. It has undead mining the materials every so often, but also has monsters generated as defense on that floor.
Wow, I've already said too much, I'm sorry.
Let's start with the story.
1234
.
.
.
"So...you're telling me the supreme beings came back - all of them?"
"That's right, my lady."
Are the supremos back?
Did all the players who left the tomb return?
What...?
Ugh, my head is killing me.
"My lady...?"
Huh? Is he still here?
He must be waiting for orders.
"How long do I have to be there?"
"1 hour my lady"
"Well, let me know 2 minutes before the estimated time, I'll be in my room getting ready."
"understood my lady"
He lowers his head in submission and then disappears.
Now, where was my room?
Hmm, if I'm not mistaken... this way.
Lucky my room is not too far from my battle zone, otherwise I would use teleportation to go straight to it.
Oh, what a beautiful door design.
The door is made of birch wood or some similar wood, it is big enough for 2 people to enter at a time and it is taller than me, it is a swinging door if I am seeing right.
Hmm, the room doesn't look any different than the last time I saw it, although it does look large.
Same king size bed, same closet, same armor and weapon racks, only this time they have weapons and armor, same full-length mirror.
The only thing different is the closet which is full of clothes and now I have a desk with a map and books on it, I also have a bookshelf for some reason.
I check the desk to see the map, the map seems to be of this floor, I check the desk drawers, I see more maps stored there.
The books have interesting but somewhat strange names, such as:
The 33 strategies of war.
The 48 laws of power,
The art of war.
Elvish stories.
Am I supposed to be some kind of military leader or something?
What happens to all these books?
Ugh... my head, it's hurting again for some reason, I need to sit down.
Oooh, this bed is so soft, I would love to lie down but this headache is killing me, it's getting stronger for some reason.
Wah, I feel my head throbbing, do I have any skills to help me with this?
Not that I... no wait, yes, I have 2 in fact.
I get on the ground and place myself in the lotus position, which goes well with the skills I will use next.
Heh, I never thought I would use them.
[Meditation] and [Calm Mind] are the skills I am using.
[Meditation] is a skill that helps the user to recover Mp and Hp with the disadvantage that you have to stay completely still.
It had a strange lore, something about Odin creating it so that he could recover using the energy of the tree of life, helping him to recover physically and mentally.
[Calm Mind] is a more situational skill, it helps the user to "calm down" in order to reach a state of tranquility. It helps to clear status conditions such as [Fear], [Panic] and [Madness].
The 2 came together and, if I remember correctly, came with the [High Dark Elf] class because of my great "connection" with nature.
I'm not sure exactly how long I sat there meditating and soothing my headache, but the method worked and I was able to soothe my headache.
Fuah, much better.
What should I do now?
...first I'm going to stand up, the floor, although it's comfortable,
...
I look at my hand and I'm closing and opening it.
Even if I don't have my armor on, I still feel it, like some kind of astral "connection" or something, ready to be called upon, ready for battle.
I also feel [Storm Breaker] on my back, I grab her and hold her in my hands, I feel her power, her strength, her everything. She feels so alive.
This is so unreal.
This is all so unreal.
My mind... feels altered, changed.
I have memories that are not mine.
Do you know how it was said, or rather implied, that for the Npc's they lived a life here in the dungeon?
For I have memories of me living in the dungeon, taking care of the twins, spending quality time with Bukubukuchagama-sama, fighting for real against the invaders who dared to enter my apartment.
I look at my hand again.
Will I be merging with the one who was supposed to be Shion Bella Fiore?
I don't feel so different, but there are changes in me.
What did my biography say about me? If only I knew, I would know what to expect.
Hmm? Someone knocked on my door.
"My lady, it is time."
Ah, the elf girl from before.
"Understood, you may go."
There is no answer but I can hear it fading away.
Now, how am I supposed to get to the amphitheater?
Hmm, oh wait, I know the [Gate] spell.
Stupid but simple name.
Very good, [Gate]!
Oooh, it's nice how it opens [Gate].
Well, here we go, it would be rude to keep them waiting.
1234
"I've had enough! You should measure your words before spouting them out of that filthy mouth!"
Oh, you seem to arrive in the middle of your discussion.
As I walk through the door, I can't help but notice first the starry sky on this floor.
I know it's fake but that doesn't take away from how beautiful it is.
I look toward the "extras" who should not be in this scene.
This confirms it, 41 monstrous beings of different types, I can feel their power stored inside them wanting to explode.
Hmm, there's someone else here.
Ah, this must be Shalltear's brother.
Standing next to mare, watching aura and Shalltear argue is a man of about 5'7", pale skin, silver hair tied in a ponytail and elegant crimson red clothes, eyes of the same color.
If I am not mistaken, his name is Sirchez, Sirchez Bloodfallen.
Honestly, I would describe him as a handsome man, at least to me, although I don't like his attire if I'm being honest.
Hey, no one seems to have noticed me, they are more focused on the discussion of these 2.
"HOW NOISY"
Oh, looks like someone else has joined the party.
Coming from one of the many entrances to this place, came the... um well, the 2.5 meter long, four-armed, icy insect, ladies and gentlemen Cocytus.
Now everyone is looking at it, I hope they haven't noticed me yet, I want to make a little show with my entrance.
I cast a small teleportation to one of the entrances and start pretending to walk towards them.
From my distance, I can still hear what they are saying.
"YOUR LITTLE GAME HAS GONE TOO FAR..."
Wah, Cocytus' voice is beautiful, I always liked his character when I saw him in the anime.
"This tadpole insulted me!"
But if the 2 have the same height.
"I just told the truth!"
Uh... what their discussion was about, I don't remember.
"Whoo Ahhh..."
Aw, poor mare.
Cocytus thrusts one of his swords into the ground, causing the ice he brought with him to spread.
In this situation, Momonga-sama or one of the supreme ones would intervene, but let's make this a little special on my part.
"Aura, stop playing with Shalltear, we are in the presence of supreme beings, behave yourself!
Okay... that came more naturally than I thought, could it be that I am a natural as an actress?
Wah, now everyone is looking at me, I must keep my posture and walk smart or they might suspect something.
"O-onee-sama!"
"One-sama!"
2 pairs of voices sound in unison before rushing to give me a hug.
Aw, how cute it feels to be hugged by these two cute twins.
It seems that Shalltear also calmed down thanks to the help of his brother and a few words from his creator, Peroroncino. Peroroncino-sama's voice no longer sounds like that of a perverted adolescent, but more like that of a
Crisis averted and proper presentation, perfect.
I carry the 2 on my shoulders and keep getting closer.
"Cocytus, Shion, they came."
Wah, Mr. Skeleton has such a deep and impressive voice, he really gives the vibe of being the lord of death.
"I WILL ALWAYS ANSWER THE CALL OF THE SUPREME".
"It would be impolite not to come when I'm called."
Cocytus and I responded at the same time as we joined the group.
Oof.
Okay, I wasn't expecting this.
Seemingly impatient and eager to hug, my creator, Bukubukuchagama-sama came up to me as soon as I put the twins down and gave me a hug.
"Shion-chan! It's good to see you again! And I can finally hug you!"
Her voice sounds the same as when she was a human, but it sounds with more... echo? Yes, something like that.
Ah, but he has given me several... ah ok, I remember, in Yggdrasil physical contact was forbidden.
I kneel down to his height and return his embrace.
"It's good to have her back Bukubukuchagama-sama."
Wah, I hadn't noticed, but my voice is very similar to Bukubukuchagama-sama's when I was human, has he implanted his voice in me or something similar?
He flinches slightly at my words, before pressing harder against me. I guess he regrets not having come in a long time, good to know.
I have always loved hugs.
"Cocytus, it's good to see you're here."
"Warrior Takemikazuchi-sama!"
Oh, it seems that Warrior Takemikazuchi has given to show his presence before Cocytus.
Aw, Cocytus looks so happy, how cute.
"And how have you been Cocytus?"
"I've been fine Takemikazuchi-sama, there haven't been any intruders, so it's been relaxing."
"I see, I'm glad to-"
Cocytus makes a strange sound with its jaw, something like 'kakaka', similar to the intimidation sound of bees.
Is he... is he laughing? Curious, I didn't know that's how he laughed.
"HOWEVER, THERE IS SOMETHING I MUST DO, SO I CAN'T REJOICE JUST YET."
Huh? Something you need to do? What will it be?
"Oh? Something you want to do? Can you tell me what it is?"
"YES. TRAIN. IT'S QUITE USEFUL"
Hey, training? Really?
I didn't know Cocytus was a training maniac.
"I see."
Eh, Takemikazuchi-sama is... nodding in compression? Does he really understand the feeling Cocytus feels? I mean, I believe Cocytus and all, but I didn't think they would be so similar.
"I beg your pardon for my tardiness."
"Excuse me."
Breaking away from the embrace and looking in the direction from which the voices originate, 3 familiar figures come.
In the middle, there was a woman with long black hair with horns, white dress and black wings, this woman is the... succubus Albedo.
To his right, stood a man about six feet tall, with a dark skin, Asian features and neatly combed dark hair, wearing an orange British suit, strange looking glasses, pointed ears that has silver rings on them and a metallic tail, this must be Demiurge.
On the left, there was a woman who looked very human, with military style camouflage clothing, a bow on her back, short purple hair and yellow eyes, this is undoubtedly Aella.
2 of the supreme ones stepped forward, a goat-like demon named Ulbert Alain Odle and an insect-like monster that appears to be a German cockroach, named Hana Ichi Monme, the respective creators of Demiurge and Aella.
They seemed to want to say something, but in the end they got cold feet and returned to their original positions.
But it seems that both of them caught sight of them, as Demiurge smiled and hurried to kneel down in front of his creation, while Aella's face simply lit up.
After they got up, we all lined up in a row, with me in the middle of Sirchez and Cocytus.
I look over at Sirchez and see him admiring the supreme beings with a smile.
So far he doesn't seem to be a perverted womanizer as Peroroncino had described him so long ago, but I must be on alert.
Hmm?
Wait... What are they doing here?
Passing through a portal [Gate], I can see several 'people' entering.
In the middle is someone who stands out a lot, because of the extravagant way he dresses and his overall appearance, the only Npc Momonga-sama owns and the protector of the treasure, Pandora's Actor. From the corner of my eye, I can see that Momonga-sama was getting nervous and it looked like one of the members was making fun of him.
Are you communicating through [Message]? Smart.
To her left, is the only human in this dungeon, wearing clothing that would be seen very traditionally on a shrine maiden, with long blonde hair and is the creation of... one of the players, Aureole Omega.
To the right of Pandora's Actor, came a rather large crimson red slime, in fact it is abysmal in size, so it is understandable why it had to go through a [Gate] to come here, with an unknown creator and role that I don't remember either, his name is Guren.
Next to Aureole Omega, there was a girl with a human appearance, only pale, very pale, glowing green eyes and a chemistry lab, her creator being Tabula Smaragdina, this girl is Citrinitas.
Next to Guren, came a spider similar to Entoma, only she didn't hide her appearance by wearing a human mask, she had an interesting... clothing of a certain type, she looked like someone you would hire for pest control, for some reason, her creator is Shiroe, his name is Grant.
And next to Grant, the only insect of the group, a giant cockroach with a reddish cape, has a scepter on one of its legs and a crown on its head, its creator is Sonada Ayaka, is called Kyouhukou.
I can see Shalltear, Albedo and Aura tense up at Kyouhukou's arrival, while Cocytus seems happy to see him.
Okay... What are they doing here?! This meeting is supposed to be a floor guard meeting only, they're not supposed to be here!
I see them walk to within three feet behind us before Pandora's Actor gave a military salute and said, "Reporting to the call of the supreme!"
I look towards the... I'm going to start calling them supreme, it sounds better and easier, supreme and I see that some are mocking Momonga-sama, while the skeleton is burying his head in his hands.
I look towards the other guardians, Shalltear, Aura and Albedo have considerately moved away from Kyouhukou, in fact Aura hid behind me, how cute, while Cocytus greets him, Sirchez is... trying to flirt with Aureole Omega but failing epically, Mare shyly greets all of them, Demiurge greets Guren friendly and he greets him back.
This must be the work of one of the supreme ones, I remember that the guardians of their respective floors were responsible for informing the area guardians, they were not supposed to report to this.
Ugh, must be another butterfly effect thing, I'll have to get used to it.
"Everyone, please offer your allegiance to the supreme."
Hey, it looks like we'll continue even with this little "hiccup", okay.
Everyone adopts a serious look and gives a slight bow; I follow suit to avoid causing suspicion.
We all look to the front and return to our original positions, with the area guards behind us and Albedo standing in front of us.
Shalltear is the first to start, stepping forward.
"The guardian of the second floor, Shalltear Bloodfallen, bows to the supreme."
Kneeling, with one hand on his chest and giving a deep and respectful salute.
Okay... that was pretty classy, I like it.
"The guardian of the second floor, Sirchez Bloodfallen, bows to the supreme."
Like her sister, she kneels in a respectful manner.
Okay, it's my-
"The area guardian of the black capsule, Kyouhukou, bows to the supreme ones."
Eh? Then he followed.
Okay... now it's my turn.
"The guardian of the third floor, Shion Bella Fiore, bows to the supreme."
Okay, now the form I kneel and... perfect! Plus 10 points for my perfect performance.
"The guardian of the fifth floor, Cocytus, bows to the supreme."
"The guardian of the sixth floor, Aura Bella Fiora..."
"I-equally the guardian of the sixth floor, Mare Bello Fiore..."
""We bow before the supreme ones"."
Aw, how cute they are.
"The area guardian from the third to the sixth floor, I bow to the supreme."
Wait, what, he takes care of several areas on different floors? Doesn't that make him capable of being a floor warden?
It must be because of his level that he doesn't reach the level of one of the floor guards, but he seems to be one of the strongest area guards so far.
"Guardian of the seventh floor, Demiurge, bows to the supreme beings."
"River of Flame area guardian, Guren, bows to the supreme beings."
"Area guardian of the portals, Aureole Omega, bows to the supreme beings."
Wow, portals.
It makes sense, that way he avoids teleportation of other players to the grave.
"Guardian of the ninth floor, Aella, bows to the supreme beings."
Wow, his voice is not monotone, but more of a cool attitude, like that of a veteran soldier who has seen a lot of war.
"Guardian of alchemy area, Citrinitas, bows to the supreme beings."
I like her voice, it's like a kuudere's but at the same time not, interesting.
"Treasury area guardian, Pandora's Actor, fervently bows to the supreme beings!"
Pfft, I forgot about Pandora's Actor's eccentric attitude.
Momonga-sama must be suffering from a lot of embarrassment right now.
"The overseer of the guardians, Albedo, bows to the supreme ones."
I can't look up, but it must be quite a sight to see so many people pledging their allegiance to you.
Wah, from here I can feel Momonga's aura, as well as others I don't recognize.
"Except for the guardian of the fourth floor, Gargantua, the guardian of the eighth floor, Victim and the guardian of the smithy area, Ace-Art and the frozen prison, Neuronist, the guardians of every floor and area have come to kneel... as we have been ordered by masters. All of us would go through ice and fire without hesitation for you."
Wait, blacksmith area guard? Does that exist here?
I am discovering more and more things about the guild that I didn't know.
Still, wow, what a great speech Albedo. Pretty emotional, 10/10, although I would have replaced the ice and fire part with something more extreme like... I don't know, lava or something, something over the top.
I can feel the auras are still there in force, but some seem to be flanking, they must be talking to each other through [Message], I'm a bit envious but I also hope they hurry up, having my head down is not comfortable.
"Heads up."
Hey, this voice is not Momonga-sama's, it sounds like that of a being that contains a lot of anger and malice, but at the same time compassion and serenity, I raise my head like the others, it must have been Ulbert-sama if my strange memories are not wrong.
They look somewhat uncomfortable by this great show of loyalty and I don't blame them, after all several were victims of mistreatment by their bosses, so they must not want to feel like their bosses.
"So...first of all, thank you all for coming."
"Yes, we thank you all for taking the time to come and show us your great show of loyalty."
Okay, those two were Touch me-sama and Tabula-sama, they seem somewhat uncomfortable with this show of loyalty, although Tabula seems to secretly enjoy it.
"Please don't thank us teachers. I am only your loyal servant. You are our supreme rulers."
Okay, I'll keep quiet and with a look of seriousness just like everyone else, honestly I'm not loyal to any of them, but if I want to keep this life, then I need to keep a role, I don't want to ruin it and be mistrusted.
The Supremes are silent, still debating whether to tell them by calling them that or to call them players again, absorbing Albedo's words.
Though I don't remember her saying this in the anime, though my memories fail.
"...Tabula-sama, Momonga-sama and supreme beings-"
Huh? She said her creator first before Momonga-sama? Does that mean she doesn't hate her creator and is no longer in love with Momonga-sama?
Wait, I can't jump to conclusions, let's hear it first.
"-feeling doubt is fine, our fundamental strength is negligible-"
Wah, this is getting serious, Albedo just stopped smiling and put on a serious but full of admiration look.
"-but as long as Tabula-sama or any supreme being commands it, no matter how difficult, I - no, all of us guardians will comply, even if it means destroying ourselves. We vow never to shame the forty-one supreme beings."
Wah, what a beautiful speech, it even makes me want to cry.
Wait, if I follow the mentality they have as obedient servants, then I must repeat this with them.
""This I swear!""
Yosh, I was not wrong, how embarrassing it would have been if I had said otherwise.
Okay, now if the auras have completely faded, it seems they no longer feel uncomfortable around us. I guess they are no longer suspicious about our loyalty.
Oh, Momonga-sama's eyes glow red, while some other members are smiling or have a more relaxed, more... happy posture, it seems that Albedo's speech worked perfectly to dispel any shadow of doubt about us.
"Magnificent, my guardians-!"
Hey, I didn't expect that scream.
It seems that Momonga got excited.
"I trust you will all do your duty without fail!"
Everyone seems to be amazed by Momonga-sama's words, I pretend to be equally amazed, but damn it's hard.
"Now..."
Oh, they seem to be taking turns talking, because after Momonga finished speaking, tabula followed in a serious voice.
"The great tomb of Nazarick is in an unknown situation."
"We have already sent Sebas to investigate the environment."
He finishes the Touch me prayer and looks towards his creation, the super nice butler, Sebas Tian.
"Touch me-sama, supreme beings, I apologize for being late."
"No problem Sebas Tian, report what you saw in the vicinity."
Sebas Tian raises his head and looks at us.
What? You don't want us to be here? Why?
It must be a butler thing.
Apparently realizing Sebas Tian's intentions, an Incubus named Ancient One, looked at him and said.
"This is an emergency, it will be good to let the floor guards know as well, however..." after saying that, he turns his gaze towards the area guards. "I am sorry to ask this of you after you have gone to the trouble of coming from your respective areas, but can you please leave? This is something that will be brought to your attention later by the floor guards."
Looking at each other, the area guards stand up, so that later.
"Understood, Meine Herren (my lords), we will always follow your orders without any hesitation! We are here to serve you, Meine Herren!"
After saying that with several strange postures, he gives an exaggerated bow and they go through a portal.
As they left, Ancient One turns to Sebas and says.
"You may continue, Sebas Tian."
"Understood Ancient-sama. First of all, the surrounding area, within an area of 1 kilometer, is grassland."
"Meadow you say? "
"That's right, Peroroncino-sama, completely different from the swamps that surrounded the Great Tomb of Nazarick. There are no structures made by some human or monster. I have seen small creatures though, no humans or larger creatures."
"Those little creatures, they're monsters."
"No Tabula-sama, they seem to be creatures without combat skills."
"...I see. Those meadows you speak of, wouldn't they be that kind with sharp frozen blades, which could pierce you as you walk?"
...wait, is there really such a thing? They sound great.
"No, Ulbert-sama, it's just normal grass, nothing special."
"You didn't see any castles or similar structures in the sky either?"
"No, Bellriver-sama, there were none. Whether in heaven or on earth, there was no sign of humans."
"I see, just a simple sky...good job Sebas Tian."
Touch comforted me to Sebas Tian, who seemed frustrated by the lack of useful information, but there was little he could do without having to venture far from the grave, so it doesn't matter.
"Floor guards, first of all I want to increase the security of each floor you guard. Since we don't know what might happen, don't be careless. If there is an intruder, do not kill him, but take him alive. Try not to harm them as well. During this unknown situation, I'm sorry to cause you inconvenience with these things." Ulbert-sama said in a commanding voice.
Uwah, what a hassle.
How could someone get into one of the upper floors? I understand that someone could enter unseen on the first and second floors, but on my floor there is always an elf guarding the entrance in case an intruder gets in.
Also, in case of teleportation, that's why we have Aureole Omega, to prevent human intruders from using teleportation.
Ugh, well, I guess I'll have to be more careful about what I do in my apartment from now on, I no longer have the excuse of being a "living statue" to help me.
I bowed in greeting, to confirm the order that had just been issued.
"Next." Tabula-sama started saying, you know it seems strange to me that only certain supreme beings speak, would they feel embarrassed to speak? Are they just extras or what? "I want to understand what system this organization operates under. Albedo, how do the guardians share information with each other under this situation?"
Aren't they going to act like they already know this? I guess they still don't feel the need to act like kings who know everything, even at least.
"Each guardian guards his own floor according to his personal judgment; however, information sharing is Demiurge's responsibility and we all share our intelligence with him."
Wow, that's surprising. It must be because of the role Ulbert-sama gave him as commander of the defense, in fact, I could swear I see Ulbert-sama nodding proudly at that little tidbit of information.
"That's great, Nazarick's security will be handled by Demiurge and Albedo will be in charge of the guards. You two should prepare a more complete management system" Momonga-sama said in a commanding voice.
"Understood. Management system planning should not include the eighth, tenth, and eleventh floors, right?"
The eighth floor too? How dangerous is the eighth floor that they don't want us to go in there?
"The eighth floor has Victim, so there shouldn't be a problem."
"In fact, the eighth floor is off limits" eh look, this is a new one talking, he is a type of werewolf only more bestial, if I'm not mistaken his name is Astaroth, if I'm not mistaken he is the creator of Victim. "No one can go to the eighth floor without our permission. After releasing the seal, there will be a shortcut between the seventh and ninth floor. Also include the inner layer of the ninth and tenth floor in the planning."
Wow, looks like an extra has stopped being so extra, giving so many orders on his own, great.
...okay, that was rude of me, I apologize.
Still, seals? Is there a sealed passageway or something?
Ugh, I hope there's some information about that on the maps and stuff I have in my room.
"Are you sure you want it that way, Astaroth-sama, Momonga-sama?"
"Will it be right to let those servants enter the sacred areas of the supreme beings? Is it really necessary to go to such extremes?"
Those who said this were Albedo and Demiurge, who were surprised by the recent order.
Those servants, you mean the Npc's that are automatically generated in this tomb? Like my elves? How rude, though I do somewhat understand their reasoning.
If I remember correctly, when they created this guild exclusively for heteromorphs, they decided that if the world wanted to see them as villains, they might as well be. Besides, besides the fact that the eighth floor is the strongest floor in the entire tomb, not even the ninth floor has area guardians as strong as the eighth, plus the special skill Victim has when he dies.
For them, the tenth and eleventh floors must be sacred sanctuaries, since they are the headquarters of the supreme beings, in addition to the fact that the Citrinitas laboratory and the library are also guarded there.
They seem to be debating among themselves supreme beings, but after a few seconds, so that then Momonga-sama stepped forward and said.
"...no problem. Since this is an emergency situation, more manpower is needed."
"Understood. I will make a careful selection based on strength and personality."
Momonga nodded, then they all turned their attention to my sisters.
"Aura-chan, Mare-chan... can you hide the Great Tomb of Nazarick? Using illusion magic, just thinking about the cost of keeping it gives me a headache."
Right, to maintain a tomb as big as this one, with magic? Yes, it is quite impossible.
"U-using magic is a bit difficult if you want to hide everything... but we could use mud to paint the walls and then cover it with plants..."
"You say you want to use mud to soil the walls of the Great Tomb of Nazarick?"
Behind Mare, Albedo asked the question. Although the voice was soft and sweet, the emotions behind the voice were far from that.
Mare's shoulders shook and I couldn't help but give Albedo an angry look, it was just a suggestion to Momonga-sama's question, it makes no sense to subtly threaten a child who according to human years is only 12 years old.
I am also upset with Aura and the other guardians; they say nothing but I am sure the others agree with Albedo.
"Albedo, we are in times of crisis, don't make unnecessary comments."
I calm down and look towards the one who shouted, it is my creator, Bukubukuchagama-sama.
"Ah, I am deeply sorry, Bukubukuchagama-sama!"
Albedo bowed his head, his face rigid with fear. The other guards and even Sebas Tian stood their ground, acting as if what had been said earlier had been directed at them as well.
I couldn't help but have a small smile, although I had to quickly put it away and act like the others to avoid suspicion, but it gave me great pleasure to see the fear on Albedo's face after being scolded by my creator, don't mess with my cute little brother, succubus.
"Can you really hide everything by covering the walls with mud?"
"Yes, Bukubukuchagama-sama. If the supreme ones allow me... but..."
"However, viewed from the circumstances, to see the land covered in that way by a place that was once just a meadow would look very out of place."
Surprising everyone and even myself, I spoke out loud to support what Mare wanted to say.
It looked like Albedo wanted to say something but Ulbert-sama interrupted her saying.
"I see, Sebas Tian, are there any hills in the surrounding area?"
"No, Ulbert-sama. The area around us is just flat grasslands. But there is also a night cycle in this place, so at night you will be able to fool others."
"I see... if it's just to hide the walls, Mare's idea might actually be a good idea. And could we create mounds of earth in the surrounding area to camouflage the walls more adequately?"
"That would make the result not so obvious."
"Very well. So, Aura and Mare, you two will be in charge of this task. You can use items from any of the floors to complete your task. In regards to the part that faces the sky and cannot be hidden, wait to complete the task before using illusion magic. If you can't see Nazarick from the outside, do it in such a way that no one can see Nazarick from the outside".
"Understood, my lord."
This should be it; this should wrap up the meeting so I can get back to my room as quickly as possible, I need to practice my acting lessons to avoid making a misstep.
"Okay, that's it for today. Everyone, go back and rest, then later start on your assignments. Due to our lack of information, don't rush."
I ducked my head in understanding, this is getting very uncomfortable, I barely prepared myself mentally for this, although I have been doing very well.
"Finally, there's something I want to ask all the guardians."
Now what will it be.
"First, Shalltear, what kind of person do you think we are?"
Wait, I forgot about this! Ugh, this is going to be so awkward.
"Beautiful crystals. Especially you and Peroroncino-sama, you are the most beautiful beings in the world. Even precious gems cannot compare to your incredible natural beauty."
...well, that was cute, it wasn't as perverted as what he originally said towards Momonga-sama.
"-Sirchez."
"Beings of incredible power and resplendent beauty, there is no mortal being that can compare with you in any kind of aspect."
He still doesn't look like a playboy to me, has his biography been changed?
"-Shion"
Uwah, it's my turn.
"Brilliant leaders who brought us out even in our darkest moments, relentless warriors who slaughter those who stand against them."
Wow... that's not what I wanted to say, but that came out more naturally and something a submissive servant would say, so it's not bad.
"-Aura."
"Thoughtful and compassionate rulers."
"-Mare"
"G-very kind and merciful rulers."
"-Demiurge"
"Quick to make decisions as to act. Perfect and relentless beings."
"-Aella"
Okay, if I don't know anything about her, impress me, Aella-chan!
"Impeccable leaders."
Great words, Aella-chan, keep it up!
Wah, that doesn't tell me anything about her. I can only speculate that she is was designed based on typical military soldiers. Cold but soft-hearted.
"-Sebas Tian"
"They are the people responsible for bringing us all together. Compassionate rulers who refused to abandon us to the end, to stay behind and fight by our side."
"Finally, Albedo"
"The absolute rulers of us all, our great masters led by the person I love the most."
...so, she is still in love with Momonga-sama, but even so she no longer seems to hate the other supreme beings, although I wonder to whom she will have more loyalty, to Momonga or to her creator, tabula.
Also, Sebas Tian's answer intrigues me, in canon, Sebas Tian mentions remembering that Momonga was the only one who stayed active out of all the members, doing who knows what things to keep the tomb afloat.
Does that mean that Momonga-sama also left for a while? Who was guarding the tomb?
Ugh, at times like these, I wish they had designed me for the upper floors, then at least I'd have an idea.
"So, it's like this..."
Hmm, that was the whispering voice was from Temperance-sama, who seems to be in deep thought.
Will it be all right?
The other supremos seem to have noticed, as Momonga-sama steps forward and continues his speech.
"I understand, all of us clearly understand everyone's feelings. The responsibilities that my colleagues possessed in the past we leave to you until further notice. Stay tuned for updates and orders in the future to carry out your duties."
I tilt my head, this is all coming naturally to me, or at least I hope so.
I hear a strange sound, I guess it's the massive teleportation they executed through the guild rings.
...
Hmmm...
How long are we supposed to stay like this?
The supreme beings are gone, we can get up now.
...
Hello?
Oh, sigh, so they're not dead, good to know.
Finally, you stand up Albedo, I was getting tired of being bent over for so long.
"O-Onee-chan, that was scary..."
"Yes, I thought I would be crushed."
When I get up, I can't help but walk over to them and give them a hug, which they enthusiastically returned.
They are so adorable.
My beautiful sisters.
"It was to be expected of supreme beings, that even before us guardians, it would have such a great effect."
"ALTHOUGH I KNEW THEY WERE SUPERIOR BEINGS AND THAT THEY WERE STRONGER THAN ANY OF US, I DID NOT EXPECT THEM TO GO TO THESE EXTREMES.
"I felt like an insect being in the presence of supreme beings."
"Umu."
Uwah, everyone is talking to each other, about the impression the supremos left on them, but besides the little reunion I had with Bukubukuchagama-sama, no one seems upset about the arrival of the supremos, as if they already knew.
Did their creators go to see them before closing time, or is there something else I'm missing?
Ugh, seriously, I would have loved to have been designed as a one of those battle Pleiades or something similar, so I wouldn't have been so confused.
"That was the Supremes demonstrating their true ability as rulers."
"Yes, even before we announced ourselves, the Supremes did not reveal their true abilities, but once we assumed our roles as guardians, they showed us only a fraction of their true power."
"IN RESPONSE TO OUR LOYALTY, THE SUPREMES SHOWED US THEIR TRUE STRENGTH."
"It was refreshing."
"Umu"
"That's right."
"When he was next to us, they didn't release their aura, the supreme ones really are so considerate, especially Momonga-sama, when he saw that we were thirsty he even gave us something to drink."
Uh-oh, that's not something to be said lightly Aura-chan, especially in a tomb with affection-hungry monsters.
Uwah, just as I expected, all the guardians trembled in visible envy, all except me, aura-chan and mare-chan of course.
The one that worried me the most was Albedo, his hands were constantly shaking, as if his fingernails were going to break his gloves at any moment.
I couldn't help but hug the twins closer to me, and mare in a moment of bravery, opened her eyes and said.
"That is the true strength of the rulers of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, truly amazing."
The atmosphere instantly changed.
Uh, lo and behold, that worked.
"Absolutely correct. Responding to our thoughts and showing us their power as rulers... it was to be expected from our creators. Our compassionate masters who stayed until the end with us.
After listening to Albedo's speech, the guards showed expressions of adoration. Although Mare only showed relief on her face.
I chuckled a little as I loosened the hug in which I held the twins.
These beings may be inherently evil, with the exception of a few, but one thing that cannot be denied is the adoration and loyalty they have for their creators, leaving behind any worldly desires for the simple sake of serving their creators.
Breaking the pleasant and relaxing atmosphere, Sebas Tian spoke:
"Then I'm leaving, although I don't know where Touch me-sama or Momonga-sama is, it's only natural for me to go along with him."
Hmm, are you leaving already?
Come on, we were "reconnecting" with each other.
...Ugh, Albedo's expression shows how much he would like to trade places with Sebas.
"Of course, Sebas Tian. Serve the Supremes well and do not disrespect them. If any situation arises come back and report to me. Especially if Tabula-sama or Momonga-sama call me, leave any other errands and report back to me!-
It's ok! We get it, woman, relax.
Uh, Demiurge has a look of concern, why, is he worried about Albedo's attitude?
"...especially if Momonga-sama wishes to summon me to his room, please tell him that I will require a little time to prepare properly. However, it is fine if he wants me to immediately head to his room. My body is always in perfect condition and I always choose the best dresses so that I can respond quickly to Momonga-sama's calls. In short, I give Momonga-sama's calls the highest priority-"
And still this woman! Has she no shame? Besides, prioritizing Momonga-sama over your creator and any other supreme being? Shesh, woman, you sure are obsessed.
"-I understand, Albedo. However, I must leave now, to waste any more time here would be rude to the supreme beings. Therefore, to the rest of the guardians, I take my leave."
Having said that, Sebas leaves the arena with quick steps, leaving before Albedo could say anything else.
Heh, I don't blame him, even I was already getting on Albedo's nerves.
"Anyway... it's really quiet. What happened to you, Shalltear?
Huh?
Turning around with the rest of the guardians, I look towards Shalltear, who for some reason is still kneeling.
Please... tell me she's not still a pervert...
"Is something wrong with you, Shalltear?"
Shalltear slowly raises his head in response.
Ugh, that look on his face, filled with so much depravity and desire, disgusts me.
"...What happened?"
"After feeling the awe-inspiring aura of the supreme beings, especially Momonga-sama's, I couldn't help but feel... excitement down there."
Ugh, I knew it was too much to ask.
Silence filled the place, I'm almost sure everyone knows the sexual fetishes that his creator, Peroroncino-sama, put on him, one of them was necrophilia.
I was hoping to be spared the headache I would get from Shalltear's perverted, bloodthirsty attitude, but apparently not.
Wait, if Shalltear and Albedo seem to still have the same attitude and behavior from canon, that means...
"This bitch:"
Sight, yes... here it is.
After hearing Albedo's hostile words, Shalltear raised his head with a smile.
"Ah, to have felt the power of our powerful masters, especially Momonga-sama's, is really comforting. Those who haven't gotten wet are the ones with the problem. Don't tell me you're just acting innocently and don't feel any desire! You big mouth gorilla!"
"filthy lamprey!"
Uwah, this is getting out of hand.
The two looked at each other.
None of the other guardians knew what to do in cases like this, and neither do I, I just hope they don't involve me in their fight.
"Peroroncino-sama believes me in this way, about my own appearance I have no complaints."
"Tabula-sama did the same for me."
Shalltear slowly stood up, and the two walked towards each other. They kept making eye contact until they were face to face.
"Don't think you've won because you're in charge of the guardians and can stay by Momonga-sama's side. If you really think that way everyone would die laughing."
"Ah. Of course, once you have been exiled to a distant frontier, then I will take the opportunity to obtain victory."
"...What do you mean by complete victory, teach me, O great leader-sama."
"As the bitch that you are, it should be quite clear to you what that means."
Exile her? Really? It's not that far-fetched.
Snap
Uwah!
Albedo has just spread his wings menacingly. Undeterred, Shalltear begins to emit a black mist.
Ugh, they're going overboard.
"Ah - Aura, Shion, women's problems should be solved by other women. If anything happens, I will help stop them, at which time please look for me."
...no, don't.
It is at times like these that I wish I had not been created as a woman.
"Wait a minute, Demiurge! Are you planning to leave this to us?"
Waving his hand, Demiurge walks away with Cocytus, Sirchez and Mare following him, effectively leaving us with the two nuclear threats in this place.
Aura looks at me with teary eyes and my heart breaks.
Ugh, what am I supposed to do in cases like this?
I look at aura for a few moments and then pat her on the head.
"Let them argue, there's no point in getting into their fight over Momonga-sama. If things get out of hand, keep behind me, I'll protect you."
Nodding, she gives me a hug and I turn my gaze to the two guardians who are fighting.
I use [Perfect Camouflage] a skill that allows me to go unnoticed, becoming practically invisible, the only drawback is that I have to stay completely still and it only works on specific targets.
It's a skill that came with my racial class [Royal Dark Elf] is basically a [High Dark Elf] but with royal blood.
How does that make it so different?
Simple, as people would say, blood has power, more specifically, DNA imbued in it.
According to the lore, which for some reason I remember, the elves who were chosen to lead the elves had a direct connection to Odin, so although they were not his children, they were the closest thing to a distant relative or something similar.
What does all that have to do with skill?
Simple, a royal elf or similar have an incredible connection to nature, so much so that they could use druid spells at no additional cost without being a druid or thief or assassin concealment spells without being a thief or assassin.
Thanks to that I was able to obtain the skill, or rather thanks to that my creator gave me the skill.
Honestly, I don't understand how exactly Yggdrasil's skill assignment system worked.
Did they choose the skills, did the skill system provide them automatically, and what about super skills?
Ugh, so many questions and so few answers.
Part of me wished I had been born in the original world of the Supremes to also be a gamer, but with the horrible things that happen in that other world, I much prefer my situation.
Anyway, the reason I'm using him is so I don't get arrested for his useless fight, I'm not interested in being the partner of a bony Overlord.
Part of me wants to hear the conversation the 4 male guardians are having, but I must not get careless or Aura could get hurt in the process.
...
...
Huh, looks like they're just finishing up.
Legal Wife? What is that supposed to be?
Ugh, I hope it's not too important.
I'm going to disable the skill; I hope they don't start getting me into their silly fight.
"Albedo, Shalltear, are you still arguing?"
Oh, it looks like they're done arguing.
I decided to let Aura speak, I don't want them to notice me.
"They... they were already finished. But now they're arguing about... the problem of who is the legal wife.
Legal wife... what a stupid name.
"For the leader of our supreme rulers to have only one concubine would be strange. The only problem is who is qualified to be the legal wife..."
For some reason he looks at me and I don't like the look he gives me.
This could end badly for me.
"...Although this is interesting, we should discuss it another time. All right, shouldn't Albedo be giving us orders? There are still a lot of problems to deal with."
"Yes, you are right. We must get organized quickly. Shall we Shalltear, let us postpone our discussion for now as we have more important matters at hand."
"I have no objections, Albedo. This matter would surely take a long time to discuss."
"Very well. Then I will begin the development of the next plan."
Uwah, it looks like I'm already in boss mode, I see the others bow their heads in greeting and I quickly rush to copy it, although the good thing is that I don't have to kneel before her.
While she may be our boss, none of us are obligated to kneel before her.
"First of all-"
1234
(Later - third floor)
Ugh, that took too long.
After the planning and the orders albedo gave us, which in my case were really nothing, just to keep my apartment in order, I was finally able to return to my room without delay.
I was going to teleport directly to my room as I did last time, but Aura noticed and "scolded" me for using teleportation, apparently it is forbidden to use it unless it is an urgent case.
Ugh, what a mess this all is.
I was able to act as a loyal servant and not raise any surprises, but if I want to go through with this whole charade, I need to practice my acting a lot, being a floor guard, I will be involved in Momonga-sama's many plans.
I also have to see the strange memories and knowledge that I did not have before, these memories are undoubtedly from the occupant of the original body who "lived" in the grave while I occupied her mind.
Luckily, or at least as far as I have noticed, my personality has not been affected by whatever is written in my biography, not much but at least something remained the same from my previous situation.
I should also train, while I have no doubt that I could get rid of any human being in this new world, humans are not the only threat in this world.
The slane theocracy, dragon lords, wild magic, I need to prepare for all of that, for the sake of my survival.
Hmm? There's a knock at the door.
I open the door and see a group of dark elves kneeling before me, it's only a small group of 4 people but they each have different costumes.
These guys, if I remember correctly, are my generals, who command my small army on this floor.
The one in the middle is dressed like an assassin, his name is Ricknit Fallmaul, in charge of the assassin section, level 50.
The one on your right has a black robe all over his body, his name is Keghulur Cinderstriker. He is in charge of the necromancer and magic section, level 55.
The one on your left has an archer's costume, his name is Milete Rainaxe, in charge of the shooter section, level 52.
And the last one has a suit of armor, his name is Amberfall, in charge of the general defense section, level 60.
Each of them is strong enough to kill averagely strong humans, but not strong enough to be a threat to me.
"My lady, we have heard the situation and are ready for your orders."
Eh? Situation? You mean what's currently going on in the tomb? How the fuck did you find out about that?
Ugh never mind, slapping my palms against my cheeks, I look towards my generals who have their heads down, I know that although they are loyal to me, they are more loyal to Nazarick than to me, so I must be careful with my words lest they report any "anomalies" with my personality.
Time to work.
1234
I hope you liked it.
Any questions in the comments
Bye, bye.
