(No difference of T or M versions of this chapter)

AU= I went back and cut the nabe x evileye scene of chapter 44 where Evileye and Nabe have their thing. I cut it

completely, as well as the mention of it in the last chapter (about Yuri punishing Nabe) as such Nabe still has to fulfill the

request her lord/husband made... that will be this chapter.

CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT: Momonga's Daughter

Momonga, Albedo, and Aura sat in the carriage that was lazily traveling to the Baharuth empire. Ainz, as a Dark Elf, sat next to Albedo, whose pregnancy was beginning to show more by the day. Despite the laid back atmosphere there seemed to be some tension. Momonga looked at them both.

"Is... everything okay?" Albedo smiled and nodded as did Aura, but he suspected they were being polite for his sake. But the awkward silence still persisted. The journey continued on like this for a bit, Momonga tried to keep his thoughts busy, concentrating on the footsteps of the Soul Eater that pulled the carriage. He knew he should say something, but had no idea what the problem even was.

Then, like a crack of thunder Albedo broke the silence with a weird question...

"Why must you always take the form of a Dark Elf?" Momonga looked at her in slight surprise, again not sure what to say. Aura frowned.

"What's wrong with Dark Elf? And besides, isn't that a dumb question? He's already been SEEN as a Dark Elf, what else would he possibly be?" Aura asked, talking a bit louder now. Albedo ignored Aura's tone.

"Well I loved his normal Overlord body, or, you know... he might look good as an Incubi... in fact he'd HAVE to..." Albedo said looking up dreamily. Momonga and Aura exchanged a glance but Aura just shrugged.

"Well, um... Aura brings up the best point..." he began and Albedo hugged his arm affectionately.

"Sure, sure... but what about next time we're together..." she cast a slight glance and smug smile at Aura. aura frowned.

"You could try an Incubi..."

"Can you even still HAVE sex with that?" Aura asked pointing to the swollen belly of Albedo. Albedo became defensive.

"O-of course I can! I can have sex well into the pregnancy I discovered... so..."

"And isn't your child going to be half Dark Elf anyway?" Aura asked putting her hands on her hips and leaning in. Albedo looked surprised that she would know that.

"H...how do you even know that?" As soon as she said this Momonga put his face in his palm.

"I forgot... I didn't close the door when we consummated our marriage, and uh, Aura was witness to the whole thing," he admitted. Albedo's face suddenly turned beet red and she looked away in surprise. Now it was Aura's turn so smile smugly.

"Yeah, I saw everything, ya know!" Aura teased.

"Aura, stop..." Momonga rebuked her and she settled down. Albedo, not one to miss a chance to be petty decided to get her last words in.

"You should really be more respectful to your Queen, Aura!" Albedo chimed in before Momonga could say anything she pointed out the window.

"There it is, the Empires Capital city!" Albedo said loudly, cutting off the last conversation.

The city was indeed in view now. They were traveling down a busy, well-made road that would take them to their destination. Aura and Albedo both looked at it and studied it.

"So, are we going straight to the arena, My Love?" Albedo asked as she gently rubbed her tummy. Momonga thought for a second and shook his head.

"I'd like to make a stop and arrange a fight at the arena, I asked around, it should be an easy enough place to find once we're in the ci... hold on I'm receiving a [MESSAGE]," Ainz said, cutting himself off, he raised one hand to he ear and looked away as he concentrated on the message. Albedo and Aura exchanged glanced once more. he looked up real fast.

"It's from Narberal... hold on..." Albedo and Aura patiently waited to see what was up. But then suddenly Mononga's eyes grew wide and his jaw dropped.

"What do you mean I have a daughter?!" he asked out loud, not meaning to, but that's what narberal had just reported...

One day earlier...

Narberal, currently in the guise of Nabe walked the streets of E-Rantel. Her Lord and love had just set off on a trip to The Baharuth Empire and she had yet to fulfill his request of helping someone... a human. Yet oddly enough as she walked around nobody came up to her to ask for help. perhaps she had been a bit cold in the past, and that was driving away potential prospects?

As she walked people would take one look at her and immediately begin walking the other direction. Others would just give her a wide berth.

"Yup, they are defiantly avoiding me..." She growled in discontent. And here she was attempting to be helpful! these useless insects seriously pissed her off!

She walked to a less populated area of the town, the old slums as it was. Some houses looked older in than others as some residents refuse to leave their shit holes.

"Hmm... it might be prudent to find someone who needs help... I'm sure my love said something about seizing the initiative at some point as well..." She muttered. And as nobody wanted to approach her, that might be her best option. But just finding people in distress also wasn't so simple.

"Ah, maybe if I..." she cast the spell [RABBIT EARS]. Two white bunny ears sprang from the top of her head and her hearing was magically boosted. This would at least increase her chances of hearing someone who could use her help... honestly why did her husband have to give her... then she thought a bit more. He would never do or say something without a higher meaning. She would trust in her lord and love and not question this, probably, an important task he'd given her.

She would continue to walk around E-Rantel most of the day listening and hoping. Hours would pass, then the whole day... And all she would make out is the grumblings of daily life, she heard Adventuring bugs talking about they want to leave E-Rantel due to lack of work. That wasn't something she could help with. Some insect wondering if he should ask out the girl he's in love with... again, not worth her time... It seemed most of the main troubles of the city was people's nervousness about the Golems and Death Knights posted around town.

The sky was now beginning to turn pink as the sun was sinking. It would be night time soon, the chances of problems could arise. But even still as she walked all she made out was the talk of people getting off of work and going home. She was beginning to think about heading back to her hotel room when...

"I'm telling you man... this is the real thing..."

"Uh, yeah? Seems kind of... dangerous?" Nabe's ears perked up... this sounded interesting.

"The girl's mother is the one doing in charge, and it's JUST her... nobody will know!" This kind of talk seemed suspicious to her. She honed in on the conversation and made her way to the street the men were talking on.

"So... how does this go?"

"Real easy, you just knock on the door three times, give 5 silver to the mother, if you want to get rough with the girl it's 1 gold."

"Oh I see... well I have some silver but..."

"All the 'taboo' brothels in this city are shut down... so if you want something like this, you have no other choice, right?"

"Keep it down will ya?" they continued in a lower tone but Nabe was very close to their positions. they were clearly talking about something illegal, and it sounded vile.

"A-alright but... is the girl really only nine?" nabe heard a disgusting chuckle.

"Yup... and she's really cute too!"

Nabe had heard enough, this was defiantly she should look into. She activated [INVISIBILITY] and [FLY]. She hovered above the two men that were talking. As much as she would love to kill them right now, in a horrible manner... that would have to wait... first she needed to find out where this house was. Following them was easy, even as the two tried to lay low.

They walked to the more impoverished area of E-Rantel and came to a small house that clearly was run down. One of the men knocked three times. the door opened and a frail woman opened the door, as expected the men walked in without so much a greeting. Nabe sneered in contempt... crushing these bugs will be... particularly pleasing...

She floated down and heard the noises from inside.

"If you both want to go at her at once I'll need more silver..." a female voice said.

"Nah, we'll just take turns... my buddy can go first!" This was followed by a chuckle.

"Then you can wait for here," Nabe undid her spell and easily kicked the door in. The old wooden door exploded in splinters and large chunks of wood. Even the frame that held the door up broke and flew across the room. All three occupants screamed and were flung to the floor by the unexpected explosion. Before the three of them could figure out what was going on Nabe raised her hand and cast a teir1 spell [MAGIC ARROWS].

"GGRAH!" The men screamed as Nabe's arrows made of light magic flew into their legs and arms, avoiding and lethal damage but rendering them immobile and in pain.

"Wha... who..." the mid-aged woman asked before nabe swung her hand as the woman and cast [CHARM]. The woman's terrified eyes glazed over with a magical hue and she became relaxed.

"So... we're good friends, right? Why not tell me what you're up to here? I'd really like to hear this from your own mouth..." Nabe glared angrily at her. The woman hesitated for a few moments but decided nabe could be trusted, due to her magical influence.

"I... I allow men to have sex with my daughter for... money," The admission to this guilt sealed her fate... now all that mattered was how her execution would unfold...

"You mean you let them rape her... right?"

"Y-yes... I suppose that's technically correct..." Nabe heard whimpering from the room next to here..." it would not do to carry this out where this girl would be subject to it. All this commotion had sparked the interest of a couple of nearby Death Knights. they shadow dashed intot he house but stopped as soon as they saw that Nabe was the aggressor.

"Good timing, Death Knights... take these two to Demiurge... I'm sure he will have plenty of use for them..." Nabe said with a sneer that was more of a wicked smile than anything. The men were still screaming in pain but the Knights gave no concern, Each one picked up a bloody and wounded man and emotionlessly carried them out the door. The woman was terrified at the sudden appearance of Death Knights in her house.

"Now... follow me please," Nabe asked her new "friend". The woman did as asked.

"W-where are w-we going?" She asked nervously, Nabe offered her no response. As soon they reached the street Nabed grabbed the man by her hair and flew straight up intot he sky at high speed.

"YYYYYEEEEEEEE!" the woman let out a piercing scream of pain and surprise as the world left her feet and became small and smaller. They ascended high into the night sky and finally stopped.

"You are fortunate I derive no pleasure from torture... but in your case, I shall make as an exception..." Nabe sneered as she let go of her hair.

"WWWAAAAAA!" She cried as she plummeted to the earth at high speed. nabe smiled as she cast [TELEPORT]. She met the woman a few feet before she decorated the floor with her insides. Her cry was cut short from the hard yanking motion Nabe did to save her life. This no doubt broke some bones or dislocated some joints as she cried out in guttural pain.

Nabe smiled with the broken woman in her hand. While she would like to repeat this motion until the woman died of shock, pain or heart attack... killing this woman was not her goal, rescuing her daughter was. She thought about what could be done with this one... she was too ugly to interest Lord Peroroncino or Shalltear... certainly Demiurge could find uses for this one but... her eyes lit up.

"I'm going to introduce you to a friend of mine... his name is Kyouhukou. I would suggest manners when speaking to him..." Nabe warned the wounded and mind broken woman who was still screaming like she as falling. nabe located a golem and handed the woman off to it.

"Bring this one to the black room, she ordered." It took her and made it's treck to the [GATE] portal some miles away from the town.

Nabe returned to the house and slowly opened the door. Inside it was a small room. A filthy single bed was all there was, other than a frightened little girl. She had long straight brown hair that hung to her shoulders and wore only a ragged red dress that was covered in as much dirt and filth. The little girl looked up at her with big pink eyes, there was confusion and fear.

Before Nabe could say anything however the girl simply began to remove her clothes.

"N-no! Littel one... " Nabe stopped her. the girl looked at her with her in confusion.

"I... you won't be doing that thing any longer... you are safe, okay?" Nabe knelt down and extended her hand like you would to a scared puppy that you want to pet. The girl looked at nabe suspiciously then looked behind her.

"Your mother is... gone... and no more men will ever hurt you, but only if you come with me, understand?" Nabe's words must have struck home as the girl abandoned her trepidation and ran to her and burst into tears.

This was awkward... the child wasn't stopping, it just kept crying and holding her. While she wanted to push the annoying girl away and tell her she had done enough for her... she did not, she simply knelt there holding the crying child. She was trying to think about what to do with her... perhaps the newly started orphanage would be a good place? but it wasn't up and running yet... But the girl was still crying and beginning to annoy her.

"Please... stop crying!" Nabe pleased but the girl did not. Nabe rolled her eyes and sighed loudly.

"Is there someone that will take you off my hands? nLiek an uncle or... something?" The little girl shook her head no. Of course not...

"I want... a new mommy... can... you?" The girl asked, looking up Nabe, her pink eyes.

"C-can, y-you be my mommy?" the girl grabbed Nabe's brown cloak with all her might and seemed to not want to let go. Nabe was about to shove the girl off of her and tell her not to be stupid when... "You have to do whatever the next human asks of you... no matter what it is!"

"It can't... surly this request is..." Nabe looked at the pathic child that was practically forcing herself into her arms. Nabe shook her head... she wasn't looking to acquire a new pet... much less a daughter...

"Well... for now I'll be your temporary mommy... but..." As soon as she said the girl smiled, yet was still crying. Nabe picked her up in her arms which seemed to quiet the child down a bit, yet she still was sobbing but it did not seems to be from sadness or fear any longer... perhaps tears of relief? the girl must understand that her old life was over. Well... this certainly should fulfill her husband's request... now to tell him about this...

Nabe cast [MESSAGE] to Yuri for advice. She told her what had happened and about the three new guests on their way.

"So... what should I do with the child? Maybe she would fit in at that "Carne" village Sister Lupu..." Nabe could 'hear' Yuri adjusting her glasses before answering.

"You can't just drop her off somewhere now... you said you would be her temporary mother?" Yuri's voice was stern and meaningful. Nabe was confused as to why she was so angered by this.

"Well, until we find..."

"And you understand you are married to Lord Momonga, yes?..." Here sister and fellow bride cut her off abruptly.

"Yes... I know but..."

"Then for all purposes, the child that you hold in your arms is now Lord Momonga's temporarily adopted daughter... do you understand what you've done Narberal?"

"I...I..." Narberal stammered realizing the weigh of her words. There came a loud sigh, then silence.

"Just bring the child here... as we have little choice now, then we shall contact Lord Momonga." Nabe was suddenly overwashed with the feeling of guilt and dread. She may have just seriously messed up! Damnit... she knew it was a mistake to help these insects!

"V-very well... I will bring her to you at once." And the [MESSAGE] was then ended. Nabe looked down at the girl who had calmed down and was looking up at Nabe with bloodshot eyes. Sniff sniff...

"Ugh, you smell..." Nabe said as she picked the girl up in her arms and stood up.

"Um... what's your name?" She looked at her. The girl smiled slightly.

"R-Ridda," she said quietly.

"Well, Ridda... you may have just gotten me in a lot of trouble..." Nabe muttered too low for her to hear. But the little girl looked happy... not that she thought she looked cute or anything.

Before too long they were arriving in Nazarick.

"She's filthy!" Were the first words out of Yuri's mouth upon seeing her.

"I know... but you said to bring her here so..." Narberal pleaded. Yuri walked over to Ridda and looked down.

"So... let's get you into a bath first and foremost... while I'm bathing her you contact Lord Momonga and tell him what you did!" Yuri said sternly. Narberal's face went red with shame and she nodded slightly.

"We'll need to get into some decent clothing as well..." Yuri muttered as she led Ridda off.

Back in the carriage... Momonga is explaining to a very flustered Albedo and curious Aura about what he meant by that.

"So Narberal picks up som street rat and now you have a daughter?" Albedo sneered. Momonga thought for a second before answering.

"As i explained, she didn't simply rescue her... she adopted her... so..."

"Yes, I see how that works, why not simply tell Narberal to disown her? It's just a human child..." But the look on Momonga's face told Albedo he had already made his decision. She stopped pushed the issue, but the look of discontent was evident.

"So are we heading back then?" Aura asked looking back and forth at Albedo and Momonga.

"N-no... this is not any kind fo an emergency... certainly when we are done... I will be interested in meeting the girl, but for now, I've been assured Yuri and Narberal have it covered. Momonga looked at Albedo who said nothing, nor would she for some time.

They would seek some basic instructions at the door, not revealing who was in the carriage of course. They were given directions to a well-made setting. As the carriage pulled up Momonga stepped out and turned to the girls.

"This will just be some boring business I can handle on my own, why not take this time to go... shopping or get something to eat?" Momonga suggested. The second option seemed to agree with both women. Aura smiled and nodded enthusictally at Albedo who graciously smiled.

"Very well my love, Aura and myself will go sample the food of this empire and report if it meets your standards... we will be awaiting you when you've finished your business," Albedo said and Aura simply smiled with a nod at Momonga.

They left to eat and Momonga entered the large building where the manager of the Arena could be found.
