Ainz was now considering at something on his desk, It was a paperwork from his subordinates But Ainz didn't focus on that.
He was focusing on an empty brown space on his table, Thinking.
Many stuff to do these day as usual but It's not a big deal for Ainz, who's Undead and need no rest.
" um... "
But his voice didn't sound so normal, It sounds nervous.
Ainz sighed.
The topic which Ainz was curious about was Adel's Sense of justice. It had surprised Ainz a lot that His son Karma is not a number. but it is an alphabet.
" FLEX " that's what it has been written. It obviously different from Yggdrasil because Yggdrasil didn't have this function.
If Ainz wasn't wrong, FLEX on Adel's karma must come from " Flexible" which means ready and able to change so as to adapt to different circumstances.
This also means that Adel could be an extremely good guy but on the other hand, He could be an extremely Evil demon.
From the day Adel was created, There are so many things in Adel that haven't been solved yet until today. His body holds up so many mysteries that even Adel himself still can't give an answer.
Like a Human being that doesn't know how did they come from, Like a sciencetist that still research of how universe was born.
Many things in Adel also Controversal, It conflicts with each other.
A Skeleton which is a fighter, If Ainz told this to his friends, In case they were here, They would laughed their ass off. No one would believed Ainz, especially, Ulbert and Touchme.
In Yggdrasil, Skeleton Undead is the weakest of all monsters. However, There are still a few Undead that were incredibly Strong. For example like Ainz himself, An Undead-Magic casters and the other pros, and All of them were magic casters.
It was impossible and very ridiculous for Undead to be a Fighter class, atleast it was just only a skeleton with sword and sheild, which was easily destroyed. Even an average adventurers of this world could easily killed them.
Its level of ridiculous was the same as when someone told Ainz that Fish could fly.
But now, The situation had changed.
Ainz had discovered a Fighter-Undead, which is no one but his Son, Adel Positron Sigma.
Adel was also a Hybrid, Imagine of an Undead that was werewolf at the same time and can use a magic guns like automaton because he has a slice of those race.
" Unbelievable, right?"
The words written above is the most suitable for this.
Ainz couldn't give himself a proper answer if Adel was a creature of Yggdrasil or creature of this world. As It was said, Everything in Adel is controversal.
However, Ainz still worried about Adel's karma.
As Ainz saw, It's a "Flex".
If Adel is a good guy, A fine gentlemen, full with manners, That's fine.
But what if he's not?
If he can be extremely evil, what will happen?
Will Adel take over my throne?...Will someday i get stapped on the back by him?
This was very dangerous, because Adel has no limit of karma. He could be evil than Ainz, even than Ulbert.
And the question was... What would Adel be if he enters that mode of Evil.
Even Adel claimed Ainz by himself that he would never betray Nazarick. Ainz still wonder about this until today.
"That could be a lie" this is what Ainz subconscious rarely told him in his head.
Ainz tried to make this positive, That's right. Adel could be as good guy as touch-me or even better.
Nevertheless, What Adel would do next, Ainz doesn't know.
" Ahh... think about this stuff... would bring me a serious mood all the time... better ignore it.."
Ainz gazed his eyes away from His desk.
" Ainz-sama, Is there anything wrong?"
Behind Ainz at right side was Yuri-Alpha, The big sister of the Pleiades maids, She was Ainz maid today.
" No, nothing Yuri." Ainz replied.
In addition, Adel helped Ainz so much about the maids. because Ainz could shared the Pleiades with Adel in each day. Except Lupusregina Beta because she is already Adel's guardian, So she's been locked up to stay with Adel all the time.
This also give them a works they requested and looking for. Ainz sent them to help Adel in his lab either for example Yuri Alpha.
" By the way, Yuri. Does Adel do any harassment to your group?" Ainz asked, Even he knows that Adel wouldn't even dare to do it, But he needs to make sure.
" No, Ainz-sama."
" You sure? Yuri?, Don't afraid to say it out"
Ainz had learnt from The other kingdom that The influencer inheritors always did something... yeah.. like that... to their subordinates, especially woman. by Forcing, intimidating by his ranking like Babro.
Adel may use something like Blackmail, So in this case... Ainz still a little bit wonder. he worried about Yuri, Naberal, CZ and Entoma only because Ainz sured that Adel wouldn't dare associate with the other 2, even it was those 2 whom Adel spent his time to most. How controversal was that?...
" Yes, Ainz-sama. I'm very sure" Yuri confidently said.
" Um.. that's good" Ainz felt relieved, Not only the Pleiades but also The homunculus, Every female creature in Nazarick. Ainz saw them as a child, they were created by Ainz and his friends. So it might be ashame if his Own Son would go out and do harass them.
well... Even it feels more like Adel is the one who's being harassed... but better be sure than for sorry... this is why i did trust him
" However..." Yuri sighed.
" hm?"
" Adel-sama always called the other "sama" even i have told him So..So..So many times that it is inappropriate ,Ainz-sama. Adel-sama always makes himself like he's the one who's our servants! He always make himself like he's an outsiders... I think he paying us too much respect, Ainz-sama. As the inheritor Of Our great supreme being, It makes me very nervous to see Adel-sama make himself like that, Ainz-sama. he always forgot things like th-"
" Okay, Okay Yuri! T..that's enough! That's enough! " Ainz opened up his hands, as a signal to stop Yuri from complaning.
" I will talk to him later"
" Thank you, Ainz-sama"
" Anyway, Have you notice Adel doing something weird?"
" eh?... weird?"
" Yea"
" Umm... I think not ,Ainz-sama. But in it was something.. different than that"
" Different?... how?"
" Yes, Ainz-sama. Adel-sama was still do something insane. He don't care about his health. His experiments yesterday almost blow up a half of his face" Yuri said.
" Ho?... Really?! " Ainz pretty shocked to hear that.
" Luckily, Lupusregina was there. Ainz-sama."
" Oh... that was close eh?"
" Yes, Ainz-sama. Thanks to your mercy to choose Lupusregina as Adel-sama guardians. Not only you gave her a chance to payback for her sins But also Adel-sama assistance when there's an unexpected situations like this occurs." Yuri bowed her heads down.
It was just her Luck, wasn't it?!
" Umu, no problem"
Suddenly, There's a knocking sound came from outside. Yuri took a look for it.
" Ainz-sama. Albedo and Aura-sama had came back from their mission from your request"
" Good, Let them come in"
" Understood" Yuri bowed her head and Opened the door.
Albedo and Aura came in the room.
" Ainz-sama, your request of a building in 6th floor is still in process, I believe that in 2 weeks, The building will be ready to use." Albedo reported.
" Umu, Great." Ainz replied.
Ainz had ordered Albedo to build a tall building in 6th floor, because ...
[ Yesterday ]
.
.
.
After a Ceremony, Ainz had a little talked with Demiurge.
" Hm?... An area for Farming orange flowers?"
" Yes, Ainz-sama. I think it might need some specific area for farming an orange Flowers. Since we've discovered that Orange flowers are only grow in green areas... So I would request if you would permit me for finding a farming area for sciencetific purpose, Ainz-sama."
" Ah... How about the 6th floor?, Demiurge. I will ask Aura and Mare for this"
" Thankyou,Ainz-sama
.
.
.
[Back to present]
And that's why there's a tall building in Sixth floor. To be a place for farming Orange flowers, to produce Fear Toxin. The reason that it isn't an open-farm is simple. Because to prevent The gas from Leaking outside. However, there's only a Structure Since it needs a time to build, and there's need to be very careful in escorting the orange flowers.
" By the way, Albedo. I want to know why Aura was here?"
" Aura has something to talk to you, Ainz-sama"
" What is it?" Ainz asked in curious.
Aura took something out of her pocket, This thing made Ainz eyes windened ( more red).
It was a Party Popper which Ainz still remembers it until this day. It was a Party Popper that has made Nazarick falls in Chaos once.
Yes, It's the " Total Maniac"
Total Maniac is a magic item from YGGDRASIL that cancels the undead's immunity o status changes. A very strong weapon against undead. This item is central to the plot in the Overlord spin-off, Pure Pure Pleiades.
And the question here was...
Where the fuck did she find it?. jeez, i almost forgot that Nazarick have this item once..
" Aura... where did you find this?" Ainz received The Total maniac from Aura.
" While i was walking. The Homunculus reported me that they found this while cleaning the 10th floor. I don't know what to do with it, So i brought it to you, Ainz-sama" said Aura.
wahh...This item still survive?! I thought i asked Pandora's actor to keep it away from everyone already! **sighhh*** good grief...
" Aura, Is there still any of these out there?"
" I believe not, Ainz-sama"
Well, ... time to say good bye... you son of a bitch!
" Albedo!"
" Yes"
" Take these thing and destr-"
Ainz didn't complete his orders, Suddenly, An Idea pops up in his head.
What will happen if Adel got Total-maniac-ed?
What is the true nature of Adel that he's been hiding from everyone, even Ainz himself?
Does his "FLEX" Karma will receive an effect of Total-maniac?
That stopped Ainz from giving Albedo an orders.
" What happen? Ainz-sama?"
Albedo asked in worry as She saw her leader being stopped by something.
" ... " Ainz didn't reply.
Maybe... using this on Adel will expose his true nature... so i can understand him and make our relationships getting better... but...what will happen if the result get off control?...b..but...however..it is also worth enough to risk..."
" Albedo!"
" Y..yes? Ainz-sama"
" I change my mind." Ainz said.
" Heh?..."
.

[ Carne Village ] 9:40
" Argggggghhhh! "
" Aaaaarrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhh! - Ouch! "
" What the- arggghhhh! "
A sound of Goblins, Bouncing around the feild, Some of them were laying down on the of them were still standing in tired.
" ***gasp*** Oi, oi... You're really a Pharmacist?! "
" Yes, Absolutely"
A person who answered the Goblins question was Adel. He was standing in calm, his guard was on. Ready to counter any of the attack back to them.
" This is impossible for a phamacist to be good at hand combat as this much! Aren't you use to stay with the book like nee-san?!"
" Kaijali-san, It is neccessary for a Pharmacist like us to learn some martial-arts to protect ourselves... didn't Lissi-san tell you about when Nfirea-san being abducted by a bandit?"
" Yeah! I know, But... I think you're in to it too much!"
" Yea, ... right" Another Goblin added.
" I was surprised when he told all of us to come to him at once... i...**gasps** i didn't think that ...-"
The Goblin didn't finish his words, Adel inturrupted.
" Let's stop this fighting! Kaijali-san... My working time is going to start now... Nfirea-san must be waiting for me..."
" Oh... You're right... Nee-san is waiting now... Thankyou for a little training with us, New kid"
" T..Thanks Kaijali-san"
Adel bowed, he tided up his suit, and walked away from The Goblins.
" Geez,... who is this guy?... He's really a pharmacist?"
Brita who's watching a training overthere asked this question like 10 times now.
But no one could gave her an answers. Not even 6 warrior-Goblins, who's been beated by Adel , on the ground.
Adel walked out of there. He was heading to Nfirea's office.
huhh... i don't want to make a move this much... The more i join them... The more they suspect in me... i must do something to stop myself from associating with them..
The more he thinks, The more Adel reach the reason why his daily life in Carne-village was like this.
I think i know why... but... **sigh** i don't want to make this as a blaming...
Someone's image pops up in Adel's head. It was an image of a person who caused all of this.
Suddenly,
" jyaaaaa~~~ Adel-sama~~!"
" Hgggh!? "
Adel had been hugged from the back unexpectedly by someone with a familiar voice, A voice that Adel known best, A voice of Adel's most closest person, A voice of the same person in Adel's mind, A voice of... Lupusregina Beta.
" B.-B-Beta-sama?! " Adel startled, he immediately tried to take her arms off his waist. But Lupusregina increased her force, Not letting him go so easily. So Adel need to increase his force too.
Adel could felt a soft red hair with a hat covered, rubbing on his shoulder. It felt like playing with a Puppy.
However, Lupusregina is still Lupusregina. The most frightened maid in Adel's perspective, The same as Solution.
Adel pull her arms off his waist, Being suprised hug from the back made him got scared.
" What are you doing here?! aren't you suppose to - oh..wait... Oh .. okay i got it, i'm sorry"
Adel almost forgot that Lupusregina told him that she would stick with him all the time until he got himself back to Nazarick, in the name of his Bodyguard.
Now this is the reason.
Adel had tried to act like he's weaker than those Goblins. To avoid meeting them. But when he was going to do it... He sensed something deadly from her to them, Like she wanted to say If they make any parts of Adel dirty, she will destroy this fucking village, Indeed, It will make Beta's relationship with this Village getting worse ... a lot worse.
Adel doesn't want Lupusregina to keep her eyes on him too much, Both of them also have a different Jobs to do.
Beta needed to Guard and protect this village.
Adel needed to work as a pharmacist with Nfirea. But what happened here was... Lupusregina didn't focus on protecting this village that much. It's true that she's Adel's Bodyguard, but she was aware to much that almost going to abandon her main duty of Adel didn't warn her.
**sighh*** It's like i'm taking care of baby..
Adel sighed in his head,
However, from the reasons above that is why Adel couldn't act like he just an average people from this world.
They both walking along to Nfirea's office.
Lupusregina opened the office door for Adel, he felt a little bit guilty. However, he walked in the house.
" Adel-sama"
Nfirea who's busy with his potion spotted A man in a suit turning himself in to skeleton Undead.
" Finally you've come! I just finished my potions"
Nfirea reported his work to Adel.
Adel took a bottle of Potion, He kept considering at it, before opened the bottle.
" Wow, Nice! Nfirea-san. did you test it?"
" No, Adel-sama. I just finished it like 2-3 minutes ago"
" Good, We will demonstrate this bad boy this afternoon"
" Understood, Adel-sama"
" Speaking of which, Nfirea-san. Do you feel uncomfortable when i'm in Undead?"
Adel asked Nfirea's out. He wondered if Nfirea would feel.. scare.. by him as his Co-worker which is undead.
In addition, as mentioned in the previous, Adel used Undead form in purpose to hide his fear and keep his emotion stable not to panic from Lupusregina who's looking at him working all the day. He didn't want to express his emotion through his facial. because Beta might noticed and got him wrong that he hates when she's with him. That would make she felt even worse.
" Adel-sama is handsome in any form, ~~~su~"
The werewolf maids at the door spoke out her opinion.
I didn't ask you... Beta-sama...
" Eh.. To be honest, Adel-sama, I feel a little bit scary.. heheh...uh, But that's not a big deal for me after all. I'm used to it." Nfirea said.
" aah, I'm very thankful, Nfirea-san" Adel bowed his head down.
" P..please Lifted your head up! Adel-sama! " Both Nfirea and Lupusregina said.
" ah, if you said so... Okay..."
Adel lifted his head up, then he went pick something out of his bag. But suddenly, Something fell down from his bag.
Nfirea and Lupusregina noticed it.
It was a goggles, Like a Military goggles. The one that they use as a night-vision.
" A..Adel-sama, I think you dropped this"
Nfirea took the goggles from the ground, gave it back to Adel.
" Oh my, Thank you Nfirea-san."
" Eh, Adel-sama. This thing looks strange. May i ask what is this?"
" Oh, Nothing special, Nfirea-san. It's a gift for my friend" Adel replied.
Hmmph?! A gift?! For Adel-sama's friend?! why didn't he tell me about this?!
Lupusregina twisted her face as if something had bother her.
.
.
.
[ Skipped to the afternoon]
" Hmm... i think it's not enough ... eh,uh, Healing, you know, i think you need to add a little bit of special herbs.. to surpass the purple one"
" Oh... i'm so sorry, Adel-sama..t..thank for your suggestion! "
" no problem, Nfirea-san"
Adel was in the back of Nfirea's house,Demonstrating a new potion.
" A..Adel..sa..sama"
" hm?"
Adel turned his face to Lupusregina,who's also with them, who was calling him.
" yea?"
" I'm so sorry for inturrupting your work. But could i ...ahh...i have a talk with y..you..a minute?.." Lupusregina asked with serious face.
" o..okay..."
.
.
.
" Hehh?! You took me to this place just to talk about that goggles?! "
Adel shocked, Because Lupusregina asked him to come with her to the forest near Carne-village. It was obviously a blind spot that no one could see. Adel was pretty careful, At first Adel suspected why she took him here but now he got an answer.
" O..Of course! Adel-sama! What is that goggles?! and who is that person you gonna give it to ?! "
Lupusregina asked in impatient, she looked very nervous about yellow eyes kept a focus on Adel, her hands were holding Adel's shoulder, not to let him was pretty serious rightnow.
Why i felt like what she really wanted is an answer for the last question?)
However, Adel grabbed her hands, then he took them off his shoulder. He started to use to it, somehow. However, he still scares her no matter what.
" Okay, okay... right... I'll explain it to you..."
.
.
.
" Hehh~~~... a sonar goggles?! " Lupusregina felt a little strange, Her clueless face had been showned up. As if there was an huge "?" next to her beauty face.
" um-hm, well... i will explain this to you the easiest way possible... okay, So... this goggles will help a person who wears it see through everything. But it will be like a blue 3D-Hologram. The lens overhere will release a sonar out, when a sonar hit an object, it will reflect back to goggles and the goggles will render it back to an image through the lens"
" aaah..." Lupusregina moaned, She still confused. No.. she doesn't understand, all of it.
" It works like Our animal instinct"
" Ohhh, So that it is~~! Ahhh, I got it~ Adel-sama"
" So...eh... who will you give it to?"
" CZ-sama, this evening"
" eeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhh..." Lupusregina mouth bend down, she gazed at the goggles in jealous but that didn't make her beauty drop any little.
" Don't act like you wanted it... Beta-sama...**sigh** "
" IT'S LUPU! "
" O-Okay! Okay! Lupu! !
.
.
.
[ While working ]
Adel came back from The forest, with Lupusregina of course.
Lupusregina walked and stood in the same spot, keeping her focus on her young master.
However, Adel still felt uncomfortable and aware as usual. But Ainz had told him that just ignore it, pretended like she wasn't there.
How could i suppose to do that?! father?!
.
.
.
An hours had passed, Suddenly, Nfirea Bareare started the conversation. While his eyes were focus on a potion in his hands.
" Adel-sama, have you heard about it?"
" hm..?"
Adel stopped, He turned his face to Nfirea.
The question's Nfirea asked was not clear enough. He didn't get it.
The same as Lupusregina who's standing to the door.
" It? what?"
" About the Boogeyman " Nfirea said.
As if it had a lightning went through Adel's body. His heart was about to fall down.
He startled.
" E-uh-aha- oh, T..that is?... Oh, he..heh...A..ah.. I don't remember that i've heard of it before..haha.."
Adel laughed to cover his panic, while his other hand was lifted up to stop Lupusregina from grabbing her crosier and was going to smash it on Nfirea's head.
he is the one you need to protect too, isn't he?!..
Adel lifted his hands up To tell her that he got this, Don't worry.
In addition, Adel felt very guilty that because of him, Lupusregina had gained the other person to protect. Adel thought that it was too much for her. He just gave her a heaviness.
Ainz had shown Adel a list of people Lupusregina must protect them, It includes Nfirea, Enri, Lissi, Nemu, and the last one, Adel himself.
But after a guardian-choosing event, Adel knows.
Lupusregina still have a fucking Tons of energy to do it. She's absolutely fine.
Lupusregina noticed Adel's signal. She then lowered her weapon and kept it in the old position, Her back.
Luckily, Nfirea was still focusing on his potion,so he didn't see what's going on.
Nfirea to Adel, He is a clever guy. Extremely clever and has a good sense. He could easily noticed a little gap in Someone's lying. And this is very dangerous kind of people to Adel. He must not fail at this again.
" heh... that's strange... I heard that Ainz-Ooal gown-sama had faced him in the name of Momon... Didn't he tell any of this to you?.. i mean, The fight between The boogeyman and Momon-sam is very famous"
" Well, I'm always busy with my work, so, i don't have time to observe what's going on outside" Adel said.
" Anyway, He had a fight with father?, hoo.. this means He's as strong as father, isn't he?"
... Hmm.. maybe i should use this chance to know what the others are thinking about me now..
" Yes, Adel-sama. Oh, also, I heard he wears a makeup"
" Makeup?"
" Yeah, to scare people, I think... The black circle around his eyes and a red smile on his face." Nfirea replied.
" Did father take him down?" Adel asked.
" No, I'm afraid not, Adel-sama. It was the kingdom. they said they killed him"
" Huh?... They?" Adel twisted his {skeleton} face.
Yo, hold-up. It was Neia Baraja and CZ-sama that kills me, They take all their credits? W-what?!.. shit...this is Disgusting...
Adel felt displeased. But he must keep it away from expressing it out through his voice.
" So... who is he?, that boogey guy?"
Adel risked a chance of Being caught by Nfirea by asking this question, He wanted to know if there are any update information about The boogeyman's identity. Sure, He could asked Ainz about this but Ainz ( or Momon as they know) is an inside person. But Nfirea is just an outsiders , an average dude, So Adel could checked how much they had known about The boogeyman.
" No one knows, Adel-sama. They said even The most genius like Princess renner doesn't have any idea who is he. They don't know why he kills so many people, Oh, I heard from the rumors that The Boogeyman had killed a members of The Adamantide Adventurers.."
Nfirea said in frightened voice, Adel felt that his co-workers was trembling.
" He is so scary, Adel-sama. you need to know about The story about a smile on his face... **trembles** I don't have any idea what will happen if The Boogeyman was here..."
Well, Shit. Nfirea-san, It actually happens...
.
.
.
.
[ Evening ]
Adel got himself back to his sweet home, Nazarick in a form of Yuri Alpha.
Adel's Imp form is the only form that can use disguise skills. So he needs to make sure that he will use a form of those who are outside.
The real Yuri Alpha was at E-Rantel rightnow, so he can use her as a disguise-host.
While walking along the hallway, he then spotted something walked on his opposite side.
It was Entoma Vasilissa Zeta, His best friend.
Suddenly, An idea pops up in Adel's mind, He was considering on it for a minute then the fake Yuri Alpha smiled out.
" kekekeke..."
.
.
.
" Oh, Yuri-nee sama,"
As soon as Entoma spotted her Big sister was infront of her, She then bowed as a manner.
" Didn't you need to work on E-rantel?, Did you?"
" HUH?"
" eh!?..."
The rudely replied Startled Entoma Yuri Alpha sounds very pissed off of something.
" IT WAS MY BUSINESS" Yuri gazed her eyes at her little sister so moody that made Entoma fell in silent as she's very afraid.
" A...a-...a... y..ye..yes yuri-nee..I..i'm very..sorr-"
" Aaaaaahaaaaaa! "
" eh?..."
If Entoma had eyes,she would have blink twice in confusion. Because Yuri Alpha just exploded a laughing out very hard.
Suddenly, Entoma realized. This is not Yuri's nature. She didn't laugh like this...Yuri Alpha that Entoma knows always makes a serious face all the time.
Which means...
" Gotcha! bite-sized~~! Haha! "
" Adel-sama! Y..You! "
Entoma immediately felt very shy, He got her again.
" Auuuu~ look at that reaction!... It was like-like a ***wheeze***"
" Stop! laughing at me! Who will know that you're using Yuri-nee?! " Entoma puched at Adel's stomach with her little insect hands.
If someone saw them, they would saw a Big sister playing with her baby sister. Damn..., What a heart-warming.
" ho,oh! There're people coming bite-sized! stop for a second! "
Adel noticed that there're someone coming toward them, he then grabbed Entoma hands and told her to stop.
Entoma did as Adel's order immediately.
In fact, Entoma didn't feel shy or angry from Adel's trolling. She just knows that Adel like it, So she takes her advantage among the Pleiades by Acting so cute reaction after being trolled to please her young master.
Another thing is Entoma felt that she's the luckiest person in Nazarick that Adel pleases.
" Ah, Yuri-san"
" Oh, hi"
Adel replied a maid with short yellow hair "Foire"
" Oh, and Entoma-san!? Wahh~ This is so lucky for me to find you two here~! " Foire said in cheerful voice.
" Good for you, Foire" Adel replied.
Entoma gazed at fake Yuri, Adel really changed from fronthand to backhand within a second.
His Acting skills is as the same as Solution Epsilon. Entoma felt like a woman next to her was really her sister when she knew it wasn't. Adel could easily act like he's Yuri Alpha.
" U,uh.. Yuri-san. May i ask you something?"
" Hm?..go ahead"
" I ..uh," Foire voice sounds very hesitated
" I don't know if it's my imagination or not..b..but...Since the Last month.. The Pleiades is different from before... w..we haven't seen you in the canteen or walking around... like.. you're all gone... I-is there anything happen?" Foire asked.
Entoma then noticed that Yuri Alpha was stunned by Foire's question. Like there's something stabbed on her {his} chest.
oh...no.. this is not good..
Entoma thought.
Everyone who knows about Adel's existence knows that Adel is very sensitive to things like this.
" Nothing much, Foire. We, The pleiades had received such an important mission from Ainz-sama. So we are all busy, probably through a years"
" Ah, I see. So this is why. thank you Yuri-san!" Foire replied.
" Umu, No problem" Yuri smiled out as it was a real Yuri.
But Entoma, She knows what was really happening behind that smiled.
They walked Foire walked away in hapiness.
.
.
.
" Adel-sama! Please ! Please stand up! "
Entoma was holding Adel's back, in order to lifted him up from the ground.
Because now, Adel was kneeling directly to the ground and bowed his head down to the floor. To show his deepest Apologize to Entoma.
" I'm so sorry.. Entoma-sama, I-i'm so sorry.. Because of me. It's all my fault... I've created a big space between you and them..I'm so sorry...It is because of me that changes a relationship between you and them... It is all me that changed everything..." Adel said while his head still touched the ground.
It hardly to refuse that now, The Pleiades rarely go out the 9 and 10th floor.
Because all of them prefer to keep taking care of Adel, Their new young master.
The same as the guardian, When there's a free time, they don't go associate with people on the other floor, they keep coming to Adel, to serve him.
Even Ainz had told them that Adel didn't mind if they would go out and do what ever they wanted, they don't need to come at him all the time, but they refused.
Adel thinks that he's not different from the outsiders, some strangers... a Nobody..who lives in Nazarick.
Adel is not ready to reveal the secret that he's Ainz Ooal gown inheritor. What will the others think? if someday their Supreme leader brought someone up out of nowhere and said that from today he is their new master, Listen to his orders immediately.
Even they all going to do what Ainz says, But Adel thinks this is not correct, this is not what its going to be, this is like he's must do something to show them his potential, he must do something that will make them admit him as one of Nazarick's population. Ainz lost some of the most important items of Nazarick because of creating him, So he must do something to pay them back, A lot.
So if asked that Does Adel afraid of death?, The answer will Be definitely, No.
Because Adel thinks that everything from Nazarick to him, is the thing that must keep it safe, is the thing that is important than his life.
His father,Ainz. Albedo, Shalltear,Aura, Mare, Demiurge, Cocytus, Gargantuan, Pandora's actor, Yuri, Lupusregina, Solution, Naberal,CZ,Entoma, Aureole, The homunculus, And etc. are important as the tomb of Nazarick.
Which means, the way Adel thinks of everyone in Nazarick is not different from the way Ainz think of Nazarick.
To make it more obvious, To Ainz, Nazarick {the place} and his friends { 41 people} needs to come first, he will do everthing to protect this place.
But to Adel, everything in here is important, Absolutely everything. He will do everything to protect everything in Nazarick.
So Adel doesn't afraid of death, Because he think his life doesn't matter if compares to everthing his father had built.
" That's okay, Adel-sama... You didn't do anything wrong! please,Adel-sama. Please stood up." Entoma said in worried.
" U..under...stood..." Adel lifted himself up.
All Entoma could do was holding Adel's body, she didn't actually understand Adel's entire feeling but she knew that if she shouldn't kept him in this mood any long.
.
.
.
Entoma brought Adel in the throneroom,
" Thankyou...Entoma-sama."
" Adel-sama...don't be sad..."
" umu, I won't Entoma-sama..."
Adel said, however his facial expression was on the other hand.
Adel turned himself to a Skeleton form then opened the throneroom.
" I come back..Fath-"
*******************POPS***********************
" Wah?! "
Adel startled, As he heard something was exploding the same time as he came in the room.
Suddenly, Adel saw Aura was holding something in her hands, It was a party popper.
a colorful rope already came out of the popper, Adel sures that This is the source of that sound.
" A..Aura-sama?... what are you doing?" Adel asked in confuse.
" Eh...it didn't work?..."
A sound came from the throne, It was Ainz, sitting overthere.
" What did you mea- AaaaAAAAAAAaaaah?! "
Adel didn't finish asking, Suddenly his entire body brightned up in a white light, Like someone just put a Sun in this room.
" Ahhh! " Aura covered her eyes with her hands, A light actually very bright.
" Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh/ hahahaahahaha / Biapq1u10821)! +##81) / Uhhhhhaghhhh, Arghhhhh!/ Hahahahahahahahahahaha!/ Arrrrrrghhhh! "
Adel screamed all over the throneroom, Suddenly, he stopped.
the light went out, Adel fell to the ground.
" Huhhh***(inhales)***hahhh***(inhales)***" Adel gasped.
" A..Adel-sama,?! You're alright?! " Aura came to him.
" I'm fine,**gasps*** I-i'm***gasps** I'm okay.."
Adel Stared at his circumstance, His brain was proceeding, what's going on rightnow?
" What did you do to me? I feel like... i,ah, ..."
" I-I-I'm very sorry! Adel-sama! " Aura immediately bowed her head.
" I'm so sorry Adel, I didn't expect that the result would be like this.."
" father?" Adel gazed his eyes at Ainz in confuse.
" N,No father!.. You don't need to say sorry... I just... want to know what was that?..."
.
.
.
" Hehh?... What on the world was that item?! "
Adel pretty shocked in Ainz's explanation.
While he rotated The total-maniac in his hands, looking at it.
" I really shock that it doesn't work on you, Adel" Ainz said.
This is really strange... So his "Flex" karma isn't the same as the others. He didn't take an effect of total-maniac?...or... he still hide it like Sebas?...
" Adel, You feel anything... strange?"
" Uh, No.. father." Adel replied.
So he really didn't receive its effect... this is... so strange...
" Ainz-sama! "
" hm?.. what is it? Aura?"
Ainz and Adel, both turned to Aura who was picking something up from the ground.
She stared at something in her hands with no blinks, It seemed like Aura really liked it.
" Aura-sama?"
" Hyahh?! " Aura startled as she realized she was absent-minded for a second.
"I..I.. I think this thing falls out from Adel-sama..." Aura opened her hand, showing 2 small objects. they were small, But they can reflect and refract surrounding light to its viewer in a sparkling mosaic pattern., It shines bright, very beautiful as the word brilliance... of course, they were diamonds.
" What the-?"
Ainz and Adel shocked at an image infront of them.
" A diamond?! " Ainz moaned.
Both diamonds in Aura hands has a different colors, One is black and the other is white.
Aura seemed like she like both of them, She still keep her eyes on it as they said " Diamond is girls best friend".
" Adel, is this yours?" Ainz asked.
Maybe this diamonds is Adel's, He probably got it from somewhere or his experiment and it just fell down from his pocket.
But the answer made Ainz confuse even more.
" No, father. It's not mine... I didn't like these kind of things..."
Adel comfirmed, He doesn't like something loke this, he didn't see them as a precious stones, He just sees them only as an object that has corundum structure. So it is impossible that it would be in Adel's pocket.
" So where did this come from? "
" Could it be an effect of Total-maniac? Ainz-sama?" Aura asked.
" heh..."
Yo, hold up. This is seriously... STRANGE...
" Probably..."
Adel picked the black one out of Aura's hand.
" Heh... Strange..." Adel didn't feel different from Ainz.
" Well, atleast i has just produced a diamonds somehow... "
Adel then gazed his eyes to Aura, she still looked at the white one on her hand.
" Aura..sama.."
" Heh?!..Y..y..yes?! Adel-sama?"
" You like it?"
" U-uh, N-N-No..N-no! Adel-sama, its-"
" You want it ?"
" Eh?! "
Aura eyes went widened,like a kids that want a toys in wallmart.
" I...I...I can?..." Aura said.
Adel didn't reply, he turned his face back to Ainz.
" Father, you need it?"
" Uh, No... this thing is no use in experiment"
Ainz answered.
Adel then turned his face back to Aura.
" Well, we're not going to use it anyway... You can take it if you wanted.."
" R..R..Really?! "
" Sure, Aura-sama"
Aura eyes widened even more, She really happy.
" Thankyou! Adel-sama!.. I'm very thankful for yoir mercy!"
" Uh,ha..No problem..hehe..." Adel replied.
" So which one you want to take? both?" Adel asked.
" I want a white! "
" Okay, then i'll take a black" Said Adel.
He and Ainz watching Aura running out of the room, like a kid that just got her new toys.
" where the fuck did it...come from...?" Adel still complainted in a low voice, considering a black diamond in his hand.
" I don't have any idea either, perhaps,... you should take it..adel, it yours.." Ainz said.
This experiment left only a confusion in Ainz mind, but atleast Ainz sured that A "Flex" karma didn't receive an effect of Total-maniac
" Nah,... oh, maybe Albedo-sama likes it! "
" Adel.. Albedo has an amount of this things, If compare to her precious stuff.. I could tell you that this diamond is meaningless .." Ainz said.
" umm... Maybe shalltear-sama..?"
" I think she doesn't care about this either.."
" oh... well then.. i shall give this thing to the pleiades..." Adel said
" ... hm...hmm?!...wait..."
" What is it? Adel?"
" I..I can't change my form! "
" What?! "
Ainz shocked again,
" Seriously, father...**** concentrate*** nyggg...huhh..nygggg!... Shit... I can't change my form! for real! I'm stuck in a skeleton! "
" What?! ... wait...is this... is this an effect of Total-Maniac too?! "
" I don't know..! Fuck-Fuck-Fuck-Fuck! What am i going to do?! "
.
.
.
.
" well, this is the ... best solution i could think .." Adel was now sneaking in the hallway, he's wearing a Burlap-Sack on his face, to cover his Undead face.
Finally he made his way to The Pleiades room.
he then knocked the door twice.
" Yes?"
The inside replied.
" It's me" Adel short answered to tell them who was here.
He then opened the door,
" Huhhhh! Almost got caught!..."
Adel rushed in The pleiades room, He immediately closed the door.
Inside, There were Entoma, CZ, Yuri, Naberal, and Solution.
" What is it? Adel-sama?"
.
.
.
" You can't change your form?! "
" Yeah... It seems like i have to wait until The effect of Total-Maniac goes off..." Adel said spiritlessly. He was sitting on the same table, everyone except Lupusregina { cause she's at the village} focused on him.
Ainz apologized to his son like 100 times but Adel said it was fine, In deed, He also wants to know what it feels like to got Total-Maniaced.
" However, I wasn't here by that purpose"
Adel took something out of his pocket, All of the Pleiades stared on an object in Adel's hand without blinking.
" It so... beautiful..." Yuri moaned.
" Woah... " Naberal/ CZ / and Entoma groaned out.
" Somehow, When Aura-sama used a total maniac on me, This thing falls out, I don't have any idea how but ... i think i'm not going to keep this, you know, it is unnecessary for me... so i think i better give it to you girls, i heard that woman likes diamond"
" B-But Adel-sama, T-technically, it yours... I don't think that giving this important thing to us is..." Yuri was about to complete her sentence but then Adel inturrupted.
" Yuri-sa-an, I just said it was unnecessary for me, another thing.. we're friends right?, " Adel said.
" I-I'm thankful! Adel-sama!.." Yuri bowed.
He then placed a black diamond on the table.
" So who want to take th-"
Suddenly, Adel didn't even finish his words, A sound of something hit with something occured infront of him.
Solution Immediately grabbed the diamond with her eyes widened like circle, She was breathing so heavy that everyone around her hand was shaking while her mouth smiles out so widened, She was like a person who was about to go mad.
" **** Extremely heavy breathing*** A-Adel-sama's Diamond! " Solution moaned out.
***** SMACK********
" Aaaah~! Y-Yuri-nee sama?! "
" Solution Epsilon! You're doing so rude infront of Adel-sama! "
" I-I'm sorry Yuri-neesama, Adel-sama.. I-uh, i was..too excited...hehe..."
" Atleast you know yourself what you're doing..**sighed**...good grief.."
" Adel-sama, I suggest you should give this diamond to the others that aren't Solution and Lupusregina" Yuri suggested.
"Totally agree! Yuri-sama! "
" Adel-SAMA! "
" Oh, i mean, Yuri-saaa-an"
" ****sighed*****"
.
.
.
After talking with the Pleiades, Adel came out of the pleiades room, without forget about the sack, he needs to wear it until everything comes back to normal.
" heh..." Adel groaned, A question just pops up in his head.
" Why did it need to be black&White ...?.."
" Does it have ... a meaning?... I heard the cleric goblin said that White stands for peace... and Black stands for ...Chaos... "
" Meh, screw that shit, there's more important stuff to do..."
