Reminder:This chapter is a continue from chapter 15, { Shalltear's side}
" What ...was that...?" A Stunned Homunculus maid, Lumere, asked her friends in confusion. However, there's none of answers given. A feeling of cliff hanger has been filled in the canteen for a while. They were still shocked in a man in make-up who just came in and went out, Leaving them in confusion.
Nobody talks, Cixious saw Foire and Sixth looked at each other, Maybe they're hoping that this is a dream or they didn't believe in a situation that just happened infront of them?... She doesn't know.
Cixious picked up a Poker card on a table in which A man had left it to them, She's starting to assay was just a Merely poker card which has a picture of a laughing demon on it, But what really scares Cixious was A demon is dressing like a Clown, its hands were placed on its stomach, Like a person who laughs so hard.
(... What is this mean?... What did Adel-sama is going to do?...)
Cixious then flipped the card around.
On its back, It has a number written on it.
It is " 6 ".
( six?... What does this mean?...)
" Cixious... what does it say? "
A sound of another Homunculus asking her.
" U..uh," Cixious realized that she's been called,
" It has a number six on it.."
" Huh...? Really?..."
" Yeah.."
Cixious shows a card to them.
" What a strange person... That man..." Etoile complaint.
" And Very coarse" Foire added Etoile's words by anger.
" F..foire.. c..calm down.."
" How could you even keep your cool?! Cixious-san! That man has a grenades! A Grenades! He could blew us up! "
" I don't know Who he is! But I hate him! 9th floor is weapon-free zone! That guy just violated the rules!" Foire declared.
" O..oi..F..Foire-san..."
" I'm with you Foire! I hate him too! "
" L..Lumere-san?!.. Y..you too?! "
" We must report this to The guardians! rightnow!"
" Umu! "
Seeing everyone nodded their heads down made Cixious felt like something was pressing her chest. Many question was asked among the group, But Cixious was double of it.
" e..e..everyon-", Unfortunately, Cixious voice was like a sound of person among a waves in the sea. No one could noticed that.
" Oh! Lumere, What if we wait for The Pleiades to come here?"
" Huh?... Sixth-san..? What are you saying?! "
" That Man told us that The Pleiades would come here in 6 minutes since he left, Now it's been passed like 5 minutes ... I think there's nothing to lose if we wait to prove his words. Since at the end we're going to tell them."
" That's ridiculous! Sixth-san! You really trust him?... His getup.. more over... that scary make-up... I don't know what you girls are thinking but... I'm one of the people who won't go near him! I swear! "
" Me too! "
" So do I! "
" Me either! "
A raging Argument went all over the group of Homunculus maids. Cixious can't do anything but only observe them arguing.
" Oh.. Haha- You're right Lumere!" Sixth chuckles. Everyone except Cixious also starting to laugh.
" Let's not waste our time everyone, I will report this to Yuri-sa-"
Sixth didn't even finish her speaking, she needs to stop immediately, The same as everyone.
Because A Canteen doors has been opened up by Someone. Someone who made The group of laughing Homunculus falls in Silence.
Especially, Lumere, A person infront of her makes Lumere felt like Something is dragging her down, She felt like she's falling from somewhere very high. Her eyes widened like She didn't believe in an Image infront of her. However, Lumere wasn't only person who felt like this, Also the others who was laughing. Cixious suddenly heard a sound of someone's dropping her food plate down, A food on the plate splats all over the floor. Like someone used a stunning spells on them. They couldn't move. Foire felt out of breath. They are all humiliated. Because a person infront of them was CZ2128 Delta, A gun-man of The Battle maids, The Pleiades.
" ... " The Homunculus all shocked, More over, some of them are gasping.
" L...L...Lumere...san..."
" My god... Oh my god... "
" I...Impossoble..."
Lumere is shaking, her hands were grabing each other.
" Shizu?! "
A yelled from Other Homunculus, Pulls back everyone's conciousness.
" Shizu?! chan?! "
" Shizu-chan Is here?! "
" Shizu! It's been so long! "
A fan-girling sound came all over the place. The maids start to running to approach CZ2128 Delta.
In deed, They actually miss her so much since It's been a month since she came here as mentioned.
However, It doesn't matter how loud the screaming is, It doesn't matter how cheerful they are, It doesn't matter If someone's tears fall down from their eyes.
" Stop."
A Short-emotionless sound from An Automanton makes The maids stopped reaching her. Leaving them a feeling of Confusion.
" Eh?.." Sixth confused even more.
Even they're all know that Cz2128 Delta is lack of emotion, Technically she doesn't have any emotion. But from her voice, Her act against them. It could be told that Shizu was now not in an enjoying-mood.
" S..shizu?.. where have you been?! W-we mis-"
" Did You. See someone. Walking around here."
As Shizu ignored their questions, She began to ask what's in her mind, Like she didn't care anything they said.
" S..shi...shizu?...-"
Leaving the maid Confused, However, There were only 2 people in the canteen who know the reason why Cz was here. First is CZ herself, The other is Cixious.
" T-there's a man in a makeup shizu-chan. He's here like 6 minutes ago" Cixious immediately replied. As she knows what to do.
Shizu's arriving has made Cixious understood the situation immediately that there's something happened. Something that made Cixious felt bad about it.
" H-Heh?! "
Lumere can't believe what Cixious just said, The maids face got paled, As she looked at the Clock. She Obviously shown her shocking facial expression out of her beauty face.
" C-Cixious?! "
" I...I...it's... actually... S...six...minutes..." Foire still shocking at the man's prediction.
" Where. He . Go. "
" H-he just gone out before you arriving" Cixious replied.
As if the Canteen has only 2 people talking, The others fall in silence. They're confuse in a situation that just happened.
CZ immediately turned back, she opened the doors and went out of the Canteen immediately as if she's very hurry.
" S-SHIZU-CHAN! "
The maids shouted to call shizu back, But it seems to late. Since A small body of Orange-hair Automaton has disappear from their sight.
" S...shizu...chan..." Cixious trying to call back Shizu either but she did on the different purpose.
Because The Boogeyman-Adel just gave her a Card which has a number on it, And Cixious didn't report this to CZ since she's gone now.
.
.
.
.
" Who is... that man..." Lumere said in panic.
Rightnow, A group of Homunculus are sitting surrouned the Table. Cixious also among one of them.
" H.. He's right... S..Shizu chan really comes here..."
" But... How...? "
" This... This is not a joke now... Shizu-chan seems very... interested in that man... I'm sure that she must now looking for that man..."
" Is he an invader?! "
" H..Heh?!.. S-S-Sixth san! W-what did you just said?! "
Cixious yelled immediately As Sixth said it out,
" Cixious-san! Don't forget that time when there's a man in a black suit invading This tomb.. He can pass through the Nazarick's security.. So this means.. there is a possible chance of that monster being the Invader either.."
" Sixth-san... is that too mean to say he is a monster?... I don't see he's different from us... but.. The makeup..." Cixious tried to make an excuse for her young master, Adel.
" Cixious!... A normal people don't wear a scary makeup and walking around the place like that"
Foire replied her friend back, " You don't seem so panic ... Cixious... what happen to you?... at a situation like this you should be the first one who runs out of your mind..."
" F-Foire-chan! I-I'm not like that! " Cixious yells back in a shame, However there's no time for that. Cixious instinctively knows that she must do something to distract their suspecting out of Adel. She must hide the secret that The Supreme being Ainz Ooal gown had given it to her. She must do her best to cover Adel's Identity. No matter what.
" T-Think about it! Foire-chan! Everyone!... If The makeup man is really an Invader.. There must be an announcement rightnow!.. right?!"
" Oh... Hmm..b... but ..."
" Plus... Why did he not kill us? Why did he show himself to us? I sure that an invader won't do anything foolish like this!... " Cixious explained.
" Because he is Crazy! Cixious! He has a Grenades! That could kill us all! "
" wait... Lumere... " Suddenly, Etoile inturrupted.
" A Crazy man can make a Bargain?... I think not..."
" I believe that Cixious is right...Shizu-chan didn't do anything like warning us.. She just asked for him and went out... " Etoile seems to get it.
" Like... she just looking for her friends..." Etoile continued, " Huh?! Or this means!? That... That monster is Shizu's new friend?! "
" ! "
" ! "
Like there's a big " ! " popping out of the middle of the Table,
" That's Impossible! "
" Yeah! That's Impossible! And will never happen! Even we don't want to get near him so i think Shizu-chan won't give a shit either! "
" Language! Foire! "
" Ahh!- I'm sorry! "
" But... But she looks very worrying about him... Is this the reason why Shizu didn't come here?... Is because of That man? "
Sixth Added, Suddenly, A picture of CZ2128 Delta sitting with A disgusting man in a scary makup privately on a dinning table ,which has only both of them, are reaching a spoon full of ice-cream to each other's mouth in enjoyable atmosphere Appears on their heads.
" NO! That couldn't be real! "
" Yeah! "
A group of Homunculus are going to fall in to A CHAOS, Only if Cixious didn't break them.
"well... However, atleast we know that the man in a scary make-up isn't an invader... damn.. I hate to say this.. but...let's assuming that He's Shizu's friend...or has some kind of relationship with her..."
Sixth said.
From her words, That made Cixious feels incredibly relieve. Atleast they didn't suspect in Adel.
" But... If he is one of Nazarick's people... why don't there have any ... report?"
" ! " Cixious startled, looks like A trouble won't let her go easily.
" M-M-Maybe... It's not neccessary to announce him to us like - like Tsuare-chan's case! He might work for Ainz-sama in the different way you know, M-may be... uh -"
" hmm... Strange... But I think Ainz-sama won't do that... atleast he must intoduce That man if... you know, to prevent a misunderstanding situation ..." Foire said.
" hgg...-" Cixious gulped, This brought a tension to her chest even more, This is not good...
" Foire-san! don't forget! Ainz-sama is an intellectual creature... He is beyond us... So i'm sure that Ainz-sama must has a reason behind this... Cixious maybe right, It is not neccessary for him to introduce that man to us.." The another Homunculus added.
" hmm... right..." Foire nods her head down.
" Anyway... we must report what that man had done here to The Pleiades... "
" Umu! "
" U-uh... E..Everyone! L-let me take care of this! I-I will be the one who's gonna tell them! "
Cixious immediately requested that herself.
" Uh... O-okay..."
" T-Thank you! Everyone! " Cixious bowed down.
She then walked out of the room, without knowing that she forgot the Poker card on a table. Because she's too hurry.
A sound of the doors hitting each other is a meaning that Cixious has gone.
" What..is this?..."
The maids noticed a Poker card, She then picked it up.
" Yikes... "
Foire came to look at it, A Card with A Creepy Demon which wears a Clown dressed, laughing.
" This is a card that man gave us... He is scary.."
Exactly, No one cares about the card that Adel gave, but after Adel's prediction, They started to know that... this man has something, He is not a crazy or... mental-disorder person anymore. It just like The Homunculus lose their face against The man, Like there's a big hand slammed on their faces. Some of them are interesting in that man but they didn't say it out Since Lumere and Foire are in an angry mood, However, The man, to them, is still distrustful... Their instincts told them not to trust The man in a makeup.
" 6?... what did this mean?"
" I don't know... Let's throw it away! " Foire suggested.
" Wait... but... What if he ... could do what he said?"
"... That's ridiculous! "
" But... Foire!... You didn't see what he just did?!... Shizu-chan really came here! "
" ... "
Foire didn't reply, But Sixth is exactly right.
More over, Sixth's words was like a big slap to Foire's face.
It is hard to refuse for her, However, She had to admit that The man in a makeup really... really interests her not a little. However, It would be a shame for her if she said that she wanted to meet him.
.
.
.
.
In a room full of the dark red and pink themes like a Hotel or a Nightclub. Everything inside was placed in order like a Noble's room. However, a person in the room didn't enjoy that atmosphere. On the other hand The atmosphere was very strait.
" Tch-"
A sound of a beauty Vampire with a pink long hair went all over a silent room, Her red eyes were filled with anxiety. She was biting her thumb nail, showing how nervous she really was.
After Shalltear blood fallen and her team split up to find Adel who transformed from a Black diamond all over Nazarick. However, she didn't find any of him.
Shalltear had looked for him in in the first Floor, Fourth and tenth, Entoma in the second floor and third, CZ in the 9th floor, Aura and Mare in the 6th floor, Yuri in fifth floor and seventh.
If notice, Shalltear takes the most because of her ability to use {Gate}.
In addition, The searching was harder because they couldn't get a support from Aureole Omega or Nigredo, The 7th sister of the Pleiades and Albedo's sister, because She didn't know about Adel's existence.
They didn't take a look in 8th floor because No one can't enter that floor without a permission plus that floor contains a lot of deadly creatures, So they sured that Black-diamond-Adel wouldn't go there, because if he does, there must be an announce already. Adel doesn't stupid enought to enter the 8th floor of Nazarick.
" Damn it... where did he go..."
Shalltear still complaint to matter what will happen, She must find Black diamond-Adel. Because she just undertook her Supreme leader, Ainz Ooal gown, that She would handle this and would take this opportunity as a recompense for her and the others' sins for fighting and being rude to Adel.
Shalltear was in her room because she had ordered The 3 Pleiades and 2 dark-elf to come group up at her room after finish the searching.
Shalltear sitting on her chair at a tea-table because she just finished a searching. She sitting there, Hoping for a good news that they've found Adel. It doesn't matter what The Black diamond will turn into because Everyone has a bad feeling about it. Something told Shalltear that It's not good... if she still can't find a Black diamomd-Adel.
Second, This is The first time that Shalltear has to manage everthing, Since her ranking is higher than the Pleiades, Aura and Mare are too young to be a leader.
Shalltear now understands Albedo already, She finally knows how hard it is to manage things Or could tell that This is not what Shalltear be expert in.
Suddenly, Shalltear felt someone's hand is touching her shoulder from the back.
This made she turned her face back and found that It was Imp-Adel.
The first Image that always pops up in Shalltear's head when she saw an Imp form of Adel is Albedo with a short hair. She felt little displeased in a fact that Imp-Adel has an appearance in Imp form just like Albedo. They are actually like Mother and Son.
Especially, In Adel's undead form (1st form). If Undead Adel stands next to Albedo and Ainz, They look actually like a family which Albedo always used this point to claim that She is Adel's mother.
However, Ainz didn't declare who's going to be Adel's mother yet. So Shalltear must do something to overcome this disadvantage. she could convince Adel or take care of him good enough in the level that he satisfied and thinks that Shalltear is better than Albedo, This will be her trump card.
From the past, before Adel was born. Nazarick will be divided in to 2 sides, Albedo and Shalltear sides. Each sides will competed for a position... Of Nazarick's consort.
Shalltear and Albedo had to convince and gather people to take them on their side. For example, Shalltear had Solution on her side, Albedo had Naberal.
But After Adel was born just out of the blue, All of both Shalltear and Albedo had built almost going to collapse. Because the result will be decided in 1 sentence... " Just ask Adel-sama and see who will he choose ".
If Adel choose one's side, All of the votes will follow him immediately. It's like 80% of people will be on a side which Adel choose.
However, Adel had claimed that He wouldn't concern about this, Let it be like the old days.
So... The competition goes on... Luckily for both of them.
But What actually a benefits for Albedo is ... there's a new conpetition happen between Lupusregina and Solution, So... Albedo gained a new person on her sides, Lupusregina Beta. Shalltear heard that Albedo told Lupusregina that she would gave her an information of What Adel likes to her if only she joined Her side.
(What a dirty deeds...) that's Shalltear first thought.
However, Shalltear had to screw that first. Because Now, A Major problem was ... A Black-Diamond Adel still missing.
" Oh... A-Adel?... take a seat!.." Shalltear pointed her finger to a chair infront of her.
Imp Adel then bowed his head to her, then he sat down on a chair that she's pointed.
" You don't need to bow me...Adel.."
"..."
Imp Adel didn't reply again, He noded his head down, meaning that he understands her.
( ... Uhh... I don't know what should i talk to him... he can't say anything... he's completly mute... damn... How did Aura understand him?)
Shalltear sighed.
Suddenly, She saw Imp Adel bowed his head to her again, this means that Adel knows what she's thinking.
" A-Adel! I said you don't have to bow me!..." Shalltear said again, with a little " scolding " in her voice.
" ! " Imp Adel startled,He then sat spiritlessly.
" Looks like you want to say something Adel... Even you can't..."
Shalltear started the conversation which she thinks it couldn't happen.
"..." Imp Adel didn't say anything, however he slaped his hands at his chest, he repeats it.
" ... what...?..."
" You want to help?.."
As shalltear randomly guess the message, Adel immediately nodded his head down, this means Shalltear's guessing is correct.
" oh... Adel, i see your kindness. but Let us handle this, We will get the black diamond back. You stay here."
" ... "
Shalltear saw Imp Adel went spiritless again,
because they couldn't let Imp-Adel walking around the would cause a troublesome...extremely troublesome...
" Even i know that you can't talk Adel, however... What would you think the black diamond will turn into?"
"..." After Imp Adel heard Shalltear's question, he then put a finger on his chin, Considering pose.
Shalltear didn't expect an answer from him, But before She split up with the others, They had already guess that A Black-Diamond has the most chance that it would turn into Human-Adel Because The main Adel who's now in Re:Estize said he couldn't changed his form in to Imp and Human, then... the next day Imp-Adel appears from The White diamond. So this means Black and White diamonds are a reason that Adel couldn't change his form.
Imp Adel then changed his pose, Shalltear was still looking at him.
Finally, Imp-Adel put a finger to his mouth then he juts his mouth in to a smile.
"...eh?..." Shalltear confused, What did he trying to tell her?
Imp Adel put a finger out, He then use both of his index-fingers drew an air in to a circle around his eyes, then he sticks his fingers in his mouth and juts a smile again. He repeats this 3-4 times.
Suddenly, An idea pops up in her finally understand. Big circles on the eyes, Creepy smile on a mouth. To Shalltear, There's only 1 thing.
The Joker Adel.
" Oh... So that is?... you also think it's Your Human-form? right?"
( Well,... to a clever guy like him... it is merely common sense..." )
But However, Shalltear need to twist her eyebrows again since Imp-Adel shook his face, it was a body language of a word "No".
"...heh?..."
Shalltear tried very hard to figure out a message, She saw Imp-Adel's face was like a nervous people, all she could told that it's not good. Imp-Adel was worrying about something.
" ...eh... You mean... something...w-worse? "
" ! " Imp-Adel nodded his head down. He shows up his thumb, meaning that Shalltear get it right.
Shalltear felt like she's starting to understand this man a little bit more. Or it was him who's good at body language?
"... Why?.."
"..."
Imp-Adel didn't reply, maybe It was too complicated to express it through a body language. So he chose to not say anything because he thought it wasn't neccessary to explain a reason because atleast Shalltear already known that Imp-Adel himself claimed that It is not good... not good...if she still couldn't find Human Adel.
Even Imp-Adel didn't give any reason, but by seeing a sincerity through his eyes, This made Shalltear Bloodfallen took a big gulped. It creates a big confusion in her mind.
" U...umu... I-if you said so... we must find another you as fast as possible..."
" Shalltear! "
" ?..." Shalltear turned her face to a source of sound from a person who just opened her room up. She is a short Dark-Elf with a red shirt inside a white one, Aura.
" You found him?" Shalltear asked full of hope.
"... No... no... we didn't..."
An answer from Aura made Shalltear felt disappoint. That was a bad news.
Following Aura at the back, It was Mare...her brother. The siblings' face looked nervous not different from Shalltear any little, She understands what they felt rightnow.
Suddenly, Yuri and Entoma came in, They followed the Siblings just like 4-5 steps behind them. Surely, They just finished searching.
Shalltear noticed them, She looked at Yuri in the eyes but.. Seems like Yuri knows what Shalltear want to ask. Yuri shook her head. This is automatically an answer of "No".
"..." Shalltear closed her hand, It changed in to a fist, She's extremely nervous.
( Damn it!... what should i do?! I just promised Ainz-sama that I will take care of this! ...)
Shalltear head was like it was going to explode,
Even Shalltear felt like she's using Adel as a path to Ainz formal wife, ...but her love to Adel isn't any different from Mother and Son. All she want is to beat Albedo, That's all for her.
" If Demiurge were here... what would he do with a situation like this?..."
Shalltear complaint out, Using a brain is not a kind of work she prefer. Now she needs to think, A memory had run passed Shalltear's mind. She memorized about the time when Hamsuke got lost in Nazarick and Ainz ordered her to got out to find the hamster, What Ainz did in that time?
But atleast, Shalltear just did a common step that she thought Demiurge would do. Closing all the doors in Nazarick in a purpose of not letting him go out.
Luckily, This was a working day plus most of Nazarick's population didn't usually go outside. So, closing all the doors without an announcement couldn't make the others noticed that something went wrong.
" But how did all the doors is all closed before we was going to close it?"
This question still remains in Shalltear's head.
However, atleast it's all close... and she had to focus on finding Adel first.
" Should we ask Pandora's actor for a help?" Mare suggested.
" ...! ... " Suddenly, everyone realized. There's another one who is as clever as Demiurge that they forgot. Pandora's actor.
A feeling of " Oh! Yes! that's right! " filled all over a room, but in the end... it ran out.
Because Thinking of the concequences... that will happen if Pandora's actor is here... No one actually want to stay with him...
" We better help ourselves" Yuri immediately refused Mare's suggestion. Because She has met Pandora's actor before and known well how he was like... this made Yuri felt a little.." want to stay away " when she meets him. But Yuri doesn't hate Pandora's actor, She doesn't. She just want to stay away from him, like Kyohukou... or like Adel and Lupusregina Beta.
" Y...yeah...i agree..." Shalltear added.
Another reason was, Pandora's actor is also Ainz-creation, He is like Adel's brother. So if he could find Adel,it would make him take all credits...He will take all the lauds from Ainz. Nowadays, Pandora's actor is jealoused by the others enough. He is like Ainz' son and Adel's brother at the same time, so if he could solve this situation.. a jealous in him will getting more and more intensed.
" O..okay then... i-if you said so..." Aura said.
Actually, Everyone agrees with Yuri. They all have the same thoughts as Shalltear. So... an idea of bringing Pandora's actor here for help is being let go.
" Is it possible that Adel-sama who transforms from a black-diamond... is hiding in... an outlet?"
Entoma said.
" oh...that's ...OH! my god... right! We haven't checked the outlet, have we?! "
Because An outlet connects to everyplaces in 9th floor, so... If a person that has some good parkour skills... he could go to anywhere in 9th floor so easily by an Outlet.
" I'm afraid not"
An emotionless sound of an automaton, CZ2128 Delta came from their back.
" Shizu?!.. when did you come here?! " Entoma who has been quite for a while asked her sister surprisingly, Since Shizu just appeared next to her without any noise.
" second ago." CZ replied her sister, then she turned her face to Yuri and the guardians.
" I've already scanned everything in 9th floor, even the outlet. It doesn't have any signal of Adel-sama." CZ explained.
" However." CZ continued speaking, It is very rare to find Shizu keeps talking more than 5 words in 1 sentence. That means she had found something.
" The Homunculus had reported that they've seen a man in a make-up entered the canteen."
" Which means..." Aura eyes widened, the same as Shalltear and The others. After the words " A man in a make-up" , the same picture appears in their head.
" umu." Cz nods her head, " It is The Boogeyman Adel-sama" she said.
The Black-diamond status was finally confirmed, Their guessing was Black-Diamond is Human-Adel.
" But i was too late. He's gone when i arrived... and i never found him again.." Shizu said.
" Why...w-why did he not c-c-come ..to us?"
Mare asked,
" I don't know either..." Aura said, " Have the Homuculus told you what did he do?" Aura asked Shizu.
Suddenly, Another voice came from their back again, but it sounds like a person who's speaking is very tired, like she just finished running for 3 kilometers.
"***gasps***...-***gasps***-... E-E-Excuse me!...S..Shalltear sama.."
" Uh...Y..you?.." Shalltear saw a person who came in the room after Shizu, She couldn't remember her name. But that Blonde ( much more yellow) long hair... with the maid outfit could defined that She is One of the 41 Homunculus maids.
" Cixious? What do you do here?"
" ***gasps**-I'm-I'm so sorry Yuri-sama. But.. I tried to call Shizu-san back but she didn't hear me...s-so i followed her... but she was very fast so i-"
Yuri turned back to face shizu with a sight of scolding. It seems like Shizu focused on a man in a makeup too much that made her lacks of circumspectly.
" uwah." Shizu moaned.
Yuri felt like she wanted to slap her hand to This Automaton's head, however.. she need to listen to Cixious first.
" H-he.A..A..Adel-sama entered the canteen..."
" calmdown Cixious. We're listening to you. don't be panic, said it slowly" Yuri holded Cixious shoulder, looking in her eyes in calmly.
" I-I'm sorry.. Yuri-sama"
Cixious slaps her hands on her cheeks, to calm herself down. She then continued speaking.
" Adel-sama... Came in the canteen ...he came to bargain...I can't remember it all but... He said... he said that he would make The Pleiades associate with The Homunculus again...but In exchange,..he also wanted something from us .."
" eh?...what are you saying? I don't understand.."
***** SLAPS *******
" Ouch! Aura?! What are you doing!?" Shalltear moaned in pain, after she asked Cixious a question like a second. Aura slaped her head.
" You dummy! " Aura yelled, " It's a trading! "
" C-cixious?... what did he want?" Yuri asked.
" I don't understand. Yuri-sama. He said...he wanted "Us" "
" Heh?!... You mean?...he wants The Homunculus?! "
"As far as I'm concerned.. I think he means like that..."
Cixious reply Yuri,she nods her head down. This made a cofusion intense even more.
"He did anything else?" Yuri asked.
" Y..yes..Yuri-sama. At the point...he made Foire-san pissed off... she was about to reach him...but... he threat us by a grenades... that made Foire stop... that allows him to get away before Shizu-san comes."
" Grenades?! " Shalltear accidentally yells out in shocked...She didn't expect. No one thinks that Adel would do something like this.
Shalltear had seen a grenade once she saw Shizu's gadgets. Hand-Grenade is a small object in just only a size of man's fist, but its potential is on the other hand. even it is not aggressive as Explosion magic, but it could create a Big injury.
" O...oi...t..this isn't funny...anymore..." Aura said in shaking voice.
" He also-He also leaves us a Card.."
" A card?"
" Y-yes, Yuri-sama. H-here..."
Cixious tried to take something out of the maid's pocket, but it seems empty.
" Oh my god!... Please forgive me! Yuri-sama...I..I forgot to bring it..."
Cixious immediately bowed her head down.
" I..If not mind...C..could i go get it?"
(..How Clumsy I am! ...)
" Do you remember what it's like?" Yuri asked.
" Y-yes...Yuri-sama... It has a creepy picture and on its back it has some kind of...a number"
" A number?"
" Yes, Aura-sama. He said this was the only way we could contact him"
".. It has nothing but number 6.."
As Cixious answered, The room falls in silence. Leaving a disorientation atmosphere all over the room.
" Cixious, bring that card here. I think we could trace Adel by using it, Shizu... could you do it?"
Shalltear asked, Shizu then nodded her head down instead of the word "Yes".
CZ2128 Delta, is 1 of the Pleiades combat maids of Nazarick. Originally, CZ is set to be skillfully at something mechanisms like Unlocking Nazarick's Traps, remembering all of the passwords in Nazarick, A various security systems... plus Stalker is one of her job , doing something "detective" is a piece of cake for CZ2128 Delta.
" Okay, great. Now, we need to think carefully. Let's assuming that Human-Adel want to play hide and seek with us... because if he doesn't ... he should have shown himself to us already"
" Since the last spot they've seen Adel was 9th floor. Yuri, Entoma.. You two keep searching at 9th floor. it has a high chance of Adel being here."
" Understood, Shalltear-sama"
" S..Shalltear... If..If it's possible..if Human Adel-sama... is now with..P..Pandora's actor...at treasure room?.." Mare asked.
" That's impossible." Yuri replied instead, " The treasure room is full of Traps and a high security system, It is not the room that you could easily go in...I'm not going to insult Adel-sama..but please forgive me for saying it..." Yuri turned to Imp-Adel, who's responded to her words by nodding his head.
After Yuri saw him, This means an answer of "It's fine". She then turned her face back to Mare.
" Without Ainz-sama' permission.. or without a ring... there's no way Adel-sama could enter that room" Yuri said.
" And If he is actually there... Pandora's actor should have contact us rightnow..." Shalltear said.
" O..okay..." Mare said.
" But what i'm worrying was...a reason why we can't find him. Is it because he uses his own invisibility?"
Shalltear was mentioning about Adel's skill, { Absolute Invisibility }, which is a special skill that only Adel can use it. Since it's neither Yggdrasil's magic nor a new world. It is his own.
" Shalltear-sama... but.. we haven't received any report from Aureole Omega, yet. I'll keep an eye on her contact if she sensed it. Shalltear-sama"
For somehow, Aureole Omega is the only person who could sensed something strange when Adel is using {Absolute Invisibility} all the time. Although this Skill couldn't be detected by anyone or anything. However, Omega didn't detect it. but it comes to her instinct, her feeling...her minds.. like it is her six sense. a feeling like sensing someone staring at her from behind but when she turns to face it, ... It has Nothing there.
" Good, Yuri.." Shalltear said.
" Now, We have to bring him back... Find him" Shalltear continued, " We must have a plan"
After Aura saw Cixious left the room by Shalltear's ordered, She then turned to Shalltear before she's going to speak anymore.
" Shalltear... i'm not going to object you but... Don't you think... this is ... strange?"
" ? " Shalltear looked at Aura in doubt, Suddenly.. she replied.
" Yup, I do. I don't know what number 6 is mean..."
" No-No-No... Not that one! " Aura said, " I mean, Why did Adel-sama give his card to them? even he knows that CZ could trace him?...He then shown himself to The Homunculus... who aren't know about his existence... then he made a deal with them...Why?"
" Maybe he didn't know Aura. Maybe he couldn't remember that uh...what's her name again? "
" Cixious." Yuri said.
" Yeah, ...He may forgot that Cixious was also among their group... because the Homunculus all have almost the same pattern of face... I..I don't know if i'm the only one who thinks like this...but there're maids out there that have Blonde or even yellow hairs and have a similar faces like Cixious..and they have like...up to 41... you know, so... **click** even myself just forgot her name.. so i think..Adel probably forgot her too. Yes, Yes.. he might not forgot that there is 1 homunculus that knows about his existence but... he might forgot that she was there.." Shalltear trying to explain her thoughts.
According to what Cixious had told, this maybe right. Because when the situation happened, there were like 14-15 Homunculus. And Cixious was also among them. So Human-Adel probably didn't notice her.
" Holy cow...Shalltear..." Aura stared at Shalltear in eyes widened.
"WHAT-?"
" Why did you act like you're dumb all along?"
" I did NOT ! " Shalltear yells at Aura in flurried.
" Shalltear, seriously. This is the first time i see you're good at using your brain like Demiurge... right? Mare?"
" U..u..umu"
" MARE?! YOU TOO?! " Shalltear turned to Mare in shocked,
*** CLAP *** **** CLAP ****
" Alright, Alright. enough of joking around" Yuri stopped The Guardians from about to fight with each other.
" We must do something rightnow. The more we wasting out time, The more Human-Adel-sama is getting away" Yuri said.
Shalltear and Aura released their hands from pinching each other cheeks and jumped in serious mode immediately.
" Right.."
" Hey.. wait... What if...What if Adel-sama is now walking around in some floor while we're disscussing overhere? " Aura asked out.
" No problem, Aura" Shalltear replied in confident.
" I've already sent out my Vampires servants to all over floor 1,2,3 and 4 and I ask Mare to sent some of his Animals to 5,6,7 floor in searching for him" Shalltear said.
Mare nods his head down to Shalltear, meaning that Shalltear's requests has been done.
" However, We should only use our own servants...that does not have a will nor intelligence of its own, kind of...mindless construct like my vampires or your animals,Aura. We should keep His secret as much as possible...If we ask others NPCs for help, it may leads them to a suspecting in us. even it's too late... but ... atleast The Homunculus haven't known that Adel is Lord Ainz's hier yet" Shalltear said.
" Oh...right... i didn't see they ask about him.." Yuri realized.
" . .they think . He is my friend." CZ replied.
" Oh..really?...alright... that's lucky for us... we should use this point to hide the secret" Shalltear said.
Suddenly, Imp-Adel, who's standing over there and listening to them for a while,bowed his head immediately to everyone.
" A-A-Adel-sama! P-Please! please lift your head up! " Yuri immediately followed Imp-Adel. She held his head up.
Imp-Adel face didn't look good, On the other hand, It was a face of guilty. He felt extremely guilty for his trouble-making Human form.
Imp Adel then put his right hand on his chest, he slaps it twice, then he made his hands in to a " x" shape. finally, he pointed his index finger to Aura and jiggling his left eyebrow.
" eh?..."
" Adel-sama? What do you mean?" Entoma asked the mute man.
Adel didn't reply ,He repeats this steps again but now did it infront of Aura.
" Y-You agree with me?" Aura guessed. As she is somehow an only person that could easily understands Imp-Adel while the others don't, So Imp-Adel chose to communicate with her first.
As Aura finished her words, Adel nodded his head down.
" Eh-? Adel-sama also thinks that... this is suspicious?" Aura asked back.
Imp-Adel nodded his head again. he then points his finger to his head and shakes his face.
" You couldn't... forget...One's... easily?.. that's what you wanted to say? Adel-sama?" Aura asked.
Imp-Adel nodded his head again! he clapped his hands then he taps his hand on Aura's shoulder then turned to everyone.
" jeez,..Aura... How could you understand these kind of things? " Shalltear moaned. While she still surprised that Aura has kind of these talent either.
" Sure, you can remember us all Adel-sama. But.. but maybe..maybe Human-Adel can't. I agree with Shalltear. Maybe He didn't noticed her" Aura said.
"S..S..Sister..Y..you're insulting Adel-sama.." Mare warned her sister in worried, He's flinching as Aura finished her line.
" ... " Imp-Adel stopped sending a Body language, he put his fingers on his face was like " Umm..Okay.."
" Ahh- Please forgive me! " Aura bowed to Adel, But he grabbed her shoulder before her head was going to go down, meaning that it was -Adel turned to Shalltear then he opened his hand and pointed it toward her.
" Um..I guess Adel-sama wants you to continued on your plan, Shalltear" Aura explained his Body language again.
Adel thumps up, meaning that Aura was right again!
" O...O..Okay..." Shalltear said.
This is such a surprised thing everyone has learnt to day, The fact that Aura could somehow communicate with someone who's mute at this good. Shalltear thought Aura may gained these set of skills from petting her animals like a wolf, A giant green Lizard, Her dragons and much more... but those are just Animals, However,Adel was right. She must focused on thinking of the way to bring Human-Adel back first. So shalltear abandoned her thoughts, then she reset her mind back in to serious mood.
" Aura, You remember that time when that hamster got lost in Our tomb?" Shalltear asked," We need to do the same thing what Ainz-sama had done." She claimed.
" Except this time, we're lack of Hench-man. We can't call for an assistant from The others area guardians or the Homunculus." Shalltear said in nervous.
" However, As i said before. We could still use servants that doesn't have mind or intelligence of its own... Let see what we got here."
" I could use my animals.. All of them." Aura said, " And maybe those Lizard man who're still in here. I could ordered them to do what i said without giving much details, you know, i would told them like...ehh-uh... keep looking for a man who wears a brown suit coat...or something like that..."
" Excuse me, Aura-sama..but That's...not blend in at all.. We should make the better excuse. What will you answer them if they ask why..?"
" Oh...umm..."
As Yuri contradicted,Aura gone stunned.
" Oh that's..."
" Um.. how about this...uhh " He is a new worker like you guys. this is... his first day in Nazarick... so he just get lost in here"..?"
Shalltear questioned,
" Um.. that could be used" Yuri said.
" Hahh!" Aura yells as she just realized something, "Remember when Adel-sama disguised as a maid name 'Freya' !? "
" Ahhh~! " Mare also realized, he automatically reached his sister's thoughts rightnow what she was going to say next.
" After we found him, and everything becomes normal... we could tell them that Human-Adel has to left Nazarick for managing his own business bla..bla..bla like what Ainz-sama had done with Freya! " Aura suggested.
" Hmmm~"
An atmosphere of " Ohh... that's a good idea" filled in Shalltear's room.
" Okay...then i leave this to you, Aura" Shalltear said.
" I have my vampires. I could send them in to 1-3 floor, actually i could send them to floor 4 and 5 in some floor like floor 7.. I have to be a bit..sneaky. Since Demiurge's servants have intelligence and mind of its own... but however, I will contact Demiurge and ask him about a permission. **sigh** i wish Demiurge were here.." Shalltear complaint.
Unfortunately, Demiurge was outside this day. More over,he is extremely busy for his work rightnow. He may not have time for coming back and help them looking for Adel. But maybe Shalltear could ask him for some suggestion through {message}.
" I could use my insects~"
A small voice from Entoma comes up between a gap of conversation, that made Aura and Shalltear turned their face back to her.
" Oh!.. r-r-right! Entoma! You can use insects heh?"
" Yes~ Aura-sama. I could send them to help your animals~"
" No-No plea- I..I mean, you should send them to the second floor ! right?! , Shalltear?"
" Whattt? Aura?! OOf-" Shalltear didn't finish her shocking moaning, she has been dragged out of the group by Aura.
Now there were 2 of them in the corner of the room.
" oi! oi! you little shorty! Don't put a trouble on me! " Shalltear said in little furious. In deed, It's usual for her. Because no one wants to see a cockroaches running around their resident after the mission ends.
" Hey! listen!..." Aura grabbed Shalltear's face, then forced it to look at her eye.
" Why don't you let Entoma sent her insects in to the 2nd floor?! That's the place where the Black capsule! the place where kyouhukou takes a responsible isn't it? You want to send your vampires there without knowing if they would have touched those scary insects after a mission?"
Aura explanation made Shalltear Bloodfallen realized, It is like a big slaps to her face.
" Oh...OH MY GOD..Aura! You're right...!" Shalltear said.
" See?.."
( Well, actually i don't want a cockroaches to run around my floor either..) Aura thought.
finally, both Aura and Shalltear went back from the corner.
" Well, Entoma. As i just realized you also have your insects hench-man... Would you mind if i wanted you to send them in the floor 2 , 4 and 7?"
" Understood, Shalltear-sama" Entoma replied.
Based on the situation rightnow, It is hard to refuse that Entoma's insects are now the most efficient gadgets like a security-cam. Because its size is very small, it moves fast, unnoticeable and could go in an inaccessible spots.
In addition, Insects could survive in a place that has high temperature like floor 7th, So they wouldn't suffer from a heat so easily.
"Oh! I also have my Hellhounds and bats...either. this could helped" Shalltear said.
" . .Ashurbanipal. There may have. a way that .lead us to. solution." Shizu suggested.
" um...you are right. there may have a conclusion about this situations that The supreme beings had left to us..." Yuri added.
Ashurbanipal or Nazarick's Library, it locates in 10th floor.
Ashurbanipal is the great library of Nazarick, wherein Nazarick's great wealth of knowledge is placed.
Most of the books in the library of the Great Tomb of Nazarick are summoning books. In reality, there is no need to acquire so many books, as using every single resource from Nazarick, one cannot summon even a tenth of the amount of the monster data was not very expensive, the guild members started making a massive number of duplicates. Therefore, the true reason for gathering so many books was to hide important magic items by blending them among the ordinary ones making it impossible for anyone other then an guild member or servants to find anything.
The books in the library can be mainly various types amd categories.
A collection of recorded monster data, which was required to summon said monsters such as mercenaries. There are three types of monsters inside Nazarick The first type consists of monsters that are created in a similar manner as player characters. The next type consists of automatically spawning monsters that are under level 30, and the last type consists of monsters up to around level 80 that are summoned as mercenaries like Hanzo. Mercenary monsters need to be summoned using a book, a special summoning ritual and adequate amount of gold. Thus, they cannot be summoned without a book.
A collection of magic items and certain data crystals that can only be imbued into a book-shaped object. Items shaped like books usually tend to be single use magic items. The difference between a scroll and a book is that while scrolls can only be used by certain classes, anybody can use a book making them more useful and valuable.
A collection of event items, which are not uncommonly required when advancing into a special class. These can be items required for class changes, items for race changes, learning new magic, and books for studying about skills and legends. Additionally, some of these items come in the shape of a book.
A cosmetic skin database. These books contain the cosmetic skin data of objects like swords, shields and armor. Thus, players with certain blacksmith skills can put new skins on items and other appropriate materials.
A collection of novels in the form of book shaped items. Normally, there would be old and classic literature whose copyright ran out a long time ago, but there are also background stories distributed by the development team, and original novels written by players in YGGDRASIL. There is also a number of fanfiction based on the worlds of YGGDRASIL or game guides in the form of diaries or novels.
" Shalltear-sama! I'm-I'm back! "
Shalltear's room has been opened from the outside by The Homunculus maid, Cixious.
" H-Here! "
Cixious reached something out to Shalltear Bloodfallen, It is a thing that she said she would go get it to them, A card.
Shalltear took a card from Cixious' hand She started to look at a detail.
A White card, Absolutely white..Like a Poker card in a size of standard deck which is used to play in a tableland. infront of a card has a picture of ...A Demon?... in a clown dressed?
This made Shalltear twisted her face, Everyone at her back also starting to join the analyzing with her from behind.
" Yikes..."
Aura accidentally moaned in scare. Not going to lie but the demon...dressing like a clown and is laughing pretty hard really scares Aura...How..Creepy..
After finishing analyzing at the front,Shalltear flips a card to the back. She found a number on the back of it. Cixious was right, It is "6".
" 6...what does that mean?.."
"...oh! ! Floor 6?! " As Aura realized, As Aura realized, a big light bulb pops up among a group.
" Yuri, since you're one of people who are close to Adel.. You have any idea where would he go?"
" I'm afraid i don't have.. Shalltear-sama... Usually, Adel-sama didn't go out from 9&10 th floor without a permission... "
" He doesn't have any place he likes to go to?"
" Well,...there's a few... Entoma's room...uh.. Colosseum in 6th floor..."
" Aura, Shizu...go to the 6th floor.. look for him." Shalltear starts to order immediately.
" Cixious... does the Homunculus start to-?" Shalltear didn't finish her words, But Cixious seems like she knows what Shalltear wanted to ask, so she replied immediately too.
" I-I think not Shalltear-sama. I believe that my friends haven't started contacting him yet... they're more like .. don't like him"
" Alright...good..."
" However, we must not be careless..Ainz-sama ...never be careless and we shall too... there's no guarantee that it is actually floor 6... it may be room 6 or... or something with number 6..." Shalltear said, " We will split up, me and Yuri will go to a library. We will looking for a way to deal with this situation as fast as possible.. Entoma, Mare.. you guys take care of the other floor and always standby for receiving a report from your animals or your..uh..hench-man?..food?... well, what ever you call them. Cixious.. Keep your eye on your friends, If Adel comes back to meet you.. Report it to us immediately and if possible...try to buy a time.. so we can catch him." Shalltear ordered.
" Understood! "
" ***CLAPS*** ****CLAPS**** Go-goo-goo! We have to against a time! "
Since Shalltear words, Everyone splits up as they know what to do.
(.. I have to standby for receiving a report from my servants either...) Shalltear thought.
.
.
.
.
After splitting up. Shalltear Bloodfallen and Yuri Alpha were heading to 10th floor.
" Uhh... managing things is harder than i thought...how did Albedo does that.." Shalltear complaint.
" But i see you're also good at it, Shalltear-sama" Yuri encouraged.
Even it's not the same level as Demiurge, Albedo or Ainz, but she have to admit that Shalltear also have a potential for doing this kind of things. Maybe she had learnt from when she saw Ainz giving one's order.
" Oh...thankyou-" Shalltear said, " However, let's hurry up"
Finally, A Dullahan and a Vampire were standing infront of Ashurbanipal or Nazarick's Library.
Shalltear opened up the door, She walked in to a Library. Inside, it contains a Lot of books as it was created to be. Shalltear had come here once but she couldn't get used to it, She tried not to get confused by a tons of books infront of her. this place is like a maze more than a Library.
However, Shalltear known that there would have a person comes to welcome them as usual. It's pretty relieve to have the Librarian in here.
" Oh~ good Shalltear, Lady Yuri Alpha. It's hard to find you guys here. What brings you to this place"
" Nothing special Titus. We're having a little working-problem." Shalltear lied to him.
" However, You see we're hurry. It will be my pleasure if we skip the manners and goes in to the topic" Shalltear made a serious voice, Plus The serious-mood Yuri Alpha next to her, looking at Titus. This made him known that both of them are really having a problem to solve.
{Titus Annaeus Secundus is a Librarian cheif of Ashurbanipal The Library of the great tomb of Nazarick.}
" Understood, Lord Shalltear" Titus bowed to her. He then leads them to a tons of books which have been placed orderly on the shelf.
" So, which of the category would you like to see? Magic?... Spells manual? or?"
" The one that has been written or collected by the Supreme beings, please" Shalltear said, " but cut out the.. romantic, fantasy.. and comedy"
" Understood, Lord Shalltear"
Titus immediately managed a console infront of him. In a second, All categories of what Shalltear had requested have been brought out the shelf immediately by its system.
Even a kind of Comedy,romantic and fantasy books, which are the most books, have been cut out but The books infront of Shalltear and Yuri Alpha still have up to 60-65"
" here you are." Titus finished his service.
" Thankyou Titus. Now, you can leave. We will call you again after we finish our business here"
" Understood, Lady Shalltear." Titus bowed, he then turned back and walked away.
" Oh!.. Lady Shalltear"
Titus just realized something, he turned back.
" What?"
" You shouldn't go over there" Titus pointed to an area at the corner of the room, " The Homunculus just cleaned it and i believe that the area is still wet." Titus said.
" Understood, Titus" Shalltear replied.
They saw Titus, the Librarian, walked away from them to go continued his duty. Shalltear then turned to Yuri Alpha.
" Okay, Yuri. Let's see what we got here"
Shalltear and Yuri reached the books which are properly placed on a table, Hoping to find a right one as fast as possible, However a searching must be carefully. Make sure not to miss any details.
" Fall of the Valkyrie patch review?..." Shalltear considered at a book on her hand. This was a book which is about A reveiw of ' Fall of the valkyrie ' Patch of Yggdrasil.
" Oh.. this was written by BukuBukuchagama-sama...well... it is not neccessary this time.." Shalltear put a book away then she picked the next one and the next one in both of her hands.
" ... Tabula-sama horor's story...Nah... ** throws away** ... Deadliest spell casters by Ulbert-sama? wha-what?... ** throws away again***.."
{ 10 minutes Later }
" Aghhh... There's nothing that can help us..." Shalltear complaint.
" Shalltear-sama, What about this?"
Yuri flipped a book in her hands, showing its cover to Shalltear.
" hmm?.." Shalltear opened her eyes, considering at its cover.
" A Military novel ... who is...who the hell is Tom clancy? one of the supreme-beings? Strange...I never remembered him.." Shalltear took it out from Yuri's hand she looked at its cover. The cover has a picture of a group of people, dressing in a strange clothes but to Shalltear,saying that it was some kind of armor was easier to describe. But its theme is black, for sure. They're holding something in their hands...something that are so similar to CZ2128 Delta's weapons.
" I'm afraid the person you're mentioning is not One of our Supreme-beings. Shalltear-sama. But as i consider... He might be a person that our Supreme-beings admit. because his name could be in this glorious place..." Yuri explained her thought.
" Hmm... that makes sense..."
" Speaking of which...These people look like they have the same race as Cz..." Shalltear moaned.
" This case isn't the same as Hamsuke Case. But i think i found something interested that may help us. Shalltear-sama."
Yuri then turned the pages of the book for Shalltear.
"... What is this?..." Shalltear stunned after she saw a list of the contents in this book.
"Hostages situations... Defusing a bomb... Attack from underwater...from...air...from ground... chasing on the ground...searching for an enemy..."
" {inhales}... Searching for enemy! "
Shalltear then immediately turned the book in to that page she did notice.
"... Great job! Yuri!... I think this can help us! " After Shalltear survey its content, She then closed the book and hold it in her hands, going to bring it back to her room.
There are also had a few questions in her mind. Who put this book in here? ...Maybe one of Ainz'friends? who knows?...
" Let's go back to 9th floor, Yuri."
" Understood,Shalltear-sama." Yuri stood herself up, Shalltear too. They were going to call Titus back and get out from the Library. But Suddenly, Yuri stood up too quick. Her waist hits the table. That made the books fell down from the table. Luckily, It just a few.
A sound of The falling books touching the floor made Shalltear gazed her eyes to see what happens. She then noticed that there were a books laying on the ground.
" S-Shalltear-sama..My apologies" Yuri were about to take the books up and place it to its old spot... But...
" Wait..Yuri.."
Shalltear stoops herself down, she then picked up a book from the ground.
This book looks stands-out from the others. Its cover is Black, Entirely black.
For somehow, This book attracts Shalltear. She couldn't look away,like something is drawing her.
" Philosophy among People... By Albert-sama..."
As Shalltear read its cover text, She also made Yuri Alpha stunned. Shalltear often comes to a Library, But she haven't seen this book before.
" Lady Shalltear?...What's wrong?" Yuri asked in worried.
" ... " Shalltear didn't reply, Instead, She opened the book up and flipped the pages over and over.. Like she has been controlled by something even Shalltear herself knew that she wasn't.
Finally, Shalltear stops at the pages which has a picture of a men on it. He is a man, Shalltear could tell that this man has the same type of hair like a man name Brain unglaus, whom she remembered him from Demiurge's and princess renner's dealing, combined with Adel Sigma. However, His hair color is neither like Brain nor Adel. Because it was dark green.
But What actually made Shalltear and Yuri Alpha shocked and stunned at the same time was...This man has the same makeup that Adel has. A black circle around the eyes, a red line forming a big smile on the face.
" Yuri... this..." Shalltear turned to The Dullahan maid in same as Yuri, she turned to Shalltear either.
" Yes...Shalltear-sama.."
Since Yuri words, both of them turned back. They placed this book on a table and started analyzing the detail immediately.
" Do you think this is a coincidence?.."
" I believe not.. Shalltear-sama.."
" Maybe..Maybe Adel took an inspiration from this man...Maybe he did take the inspiration from this book!.." Shalltear said. But unfortunately, A Name, A description..or even A background of this man in a picture isn't be written in this book. So Shalltear and Yuri had no idea who he is. Only they could tell was...This man is pretty scary.
" But...But Adel-sama never comes to the Library..." Yuri replied. Shalltear didn't replied her back, she started to analyze the details of this man in a purple suit.
" There are something has been written either..Shalltear-sama.." Yuri pointed her fingers to a texts next to a picture of a man.
Shalltear chose to read some of the texts.
" ... Despite There are many kind of people in this world. Different races, Different colors, Nationalities, Ideology,Levels of education, Body build, Sex...or Gender. Enchanced or not, Smart, intelligence, dumb, Lots of common sense, Lack of Common sense and many...many... various types. However, from all are still creatures,A living creature that have a mind.. Atleast Those people could be talked, they could be controlled, tamed, understandable, encouraged, loved, knowing what they're doing, What is good or bad, Even some kind of them are annoying but atleast...atleast they're reasoned."
After Shalltear finished this part, She felt like an arrows stabs her from the back through her chest. She felt like this book has made to hit her weak spot. However, Shalltear continued.
" But... there is one type of people that today, their complex metalities are still a mysterious. Many of Psychologist have tried to understand those people but until nowadays, they couldn't. These type of people don't have a 're people who doesn't strive for any "worldly" or reasonable goal, they have no will to live."
" people like this cannot be reasoned with, as there is nothing they want other than destruction and mayhem. Nonsense, right?...But we have to admit that the only way to deal with them is to stop them, and to not try to reason with them..and most important, there's no motive behind their... actions...Terrifying, isn't it? It's an absolutely horrifying idea that some people could want nothing other than for the world to be annihilated. There are going to be people that you cannot reason with, no matter what you do. They will just do whatever they want, forgetting the consequences of their actions. We have to accept the fact that we will not be able to convince them with logic."
After Shalltear had finished reading the text, It left her a feeling of didn't fully understand what Albert want to tell the reader for his messages.
But suddenly as Shalltear flips the other page to continued reading, something falls off.
Shalltear did notice it, her eyes gazed to the falling objects. But.. that object's appearance made Shalltear felt like the world has stopped.
She saw a paper, Not really a paper but it's more like a rectangle shape. It has a white color all over it. Suddenly, Its name has come in to Shalltear's head.
A Card.
It's a poker card...
" ! " Shalltear shocked as her brain finally realized what this thing was. As if she was going to drop a book down.
A card flows down to the ground, landing on the floor. Infront both of them.
" !? "
Yuri then took the card up from the ground. It just a white card which has nothing on it. Yuri flipped to its back, an image infront of her really shocked Shalltear and herself again.
On its back, It has a picture of ... a clown... he is dancing with a deck of cards flowing around him.
"...S..S...Shalltear...sama..." Yuri's voice was shaking due to a card in her one in Nazarick would have these kind of creepy stuff except Him...Adel..Positron..Sigma. And This leads to the only inference...and one inference only...
"..."
Both of them falls in silence, After they did realize. No need to explain the situation infront of them, no need to talk. Because they already understand...
HUMAN-ADEL HAD COME HERE BEFORE THEY CAME.
Suddenly, Shalltear mind's did realize what Titus had told her.
" Titus! "
Shalltear immediately dropped the book down and yelled out the librarian's cheif name in panic.
" Y..Y-yes? L-Lord Shalltear" Titus who was at the opposite side of Library did his best to come after the call as fast as possible.
" The maids...The maids that cleaned the Library ... how many of them ?"
" Oh... only 1, Shalltear-sama. Well, It's a little bit strange... because usually... the maids will come to do their job here after 12:00 a.m... Is there anything wrong?.."
" ! "
Shalltear and Yuri eyes widened, they looked at each other in shocked.
Suddenly, There's a {message} calling both Shalltear and Yuri. Although they're Still shocked,they have enough awareness to pick up the call.
" { Shalltear! We have a trouble ! } "
A familiar sound of a little Dark-Elf, Aura bella Fiora said in panic. What happened?
.
.
.
[Before Aura calls in]
" Alright, You guys go in the air. Keep looking for a man in brown coat with a makeup on his face. If you found him, contact us immediately"
" { Roar } " A group of dragons, and some of creatures that could fly received Aura's order. There're also Shalltear's bats either.
They quickly split up and fly to the sky after Aura ordered them.
She then turned back to face another group of her animals.
" You guys go on the ground, The same order. Find him and report to us"
" { Roarrr}.."
The group of beasts, which is Aura's animals received her order. Their amount on the ground are obviously more than the sky . Aura's giant wolf, Fenrir, Aura's six legs chanmeleon, Itzamna also included in this group.
" You, you and you... you come with me. Then.. you guys overthere go to The Colossuem"
" Understood, Aura-sama" A replied from a group of Shalltear's vampire. Because Shalltear let Aura borrows her Vampire subordinates, So Aura could control them. The group of Vampire have all of The types, From Vampire brides to Vampire Werewolf.
From their action right now, It could be told in the other way that What they are doing are not quite different from An Army of soldiers trying to shut down the city in order to hunt down the terrorists.
Standing next to Aura, was had entered The 6th floor for a while, CZ have so many questions in her mind, From what Cixious told her. The more she tried to connect the dots,The more questions pop up instead.
" Still worrying?" Aura asked Cz in cheerful voice.
"... umu." CZ replied in short&emotionless as usual.
" Don't worry! We're gonna catch Adel-sama soon! We can do it! " Aura said.
" ... " CZ nodded her head down.
" Now let's see..." Aura took out Adel's Card..and a map. She then opened the map up, showing all the areas in 6 floor. On the map, Almost of its area is Basil-green because of The forest, However, There's some areas that are Lime-green because they are lowland. And they're also have a River.
" If Human Adel-sama actually in 6 floor, then this maybe a little hard to look for him... He could hide in the jungle... "
" So... We've sent our hench-man to there...there...there and there... A dragons and Bats are under this radius... this this...and this..."
Aura explained. Her hench-man were sent almost going to cover the map. However, there're some area which are not being entered yet.
" Aura-sama. Isn't it. a little bit. strange. to send the bats. on a daylight. Like this?." CZ asked.
" Don't worry, shizu. I've already changed the setting of a climate in to ...like uh.. 6.50 p.m. So that Bats can do their work" Aura said.
In Nature, This has been a misunderstanding for a long time. People think that The bats are a Nocturnal-animal so that they must come out at night only, But truely is.. Even that Bats are Nocturnal-animals but they usually come out from their caves around 6 P.M. In some country are about 5 P.M.
" And Shalltear's Vampire could do their work either! " Aura added.
" We will go to this" Aura pointed her finger down to a map.
" Green hole." CZ read a text on the map.
Green Hole is a newly developed village, located on the 6th Floor of the Great Tomb of , prior to the establishment of the Green Hole, the area it is now situated in used to be part of the verdant forest that covered the majority of the Jungle Floor. However, after Nazarick operatives began to summarily annex the Great Forest of Tob, the area now serves as a new home for many creatures and natives of the New World.
" Umu, Since this is a village of an outsiders that Ainz-sama brought in here. So I think It has the most chance of Human-Adel-sama would hide in here" Aura said. Plus another important reason that she didn't say, To control those people not to let them panic. Imagining that Somehow there are Vampires and a scary monster walking around the peaceful Village and starting to searching around your Lizard man would be worried what happened and may lead them into panicking of being harassed Maybe they could think that Ainz Ooal gown don't want them If Aura is with them,atleast They would feel "safe" and "more relieve".
" I've sent Shalltear's Vampire there already. However, Adel-sama may avoid their detection. Since he is also an Assassin like Solution. So..In case he didn't use his invisibility. You may detect him" Aura explained. This is also a reason why Shalltear ordered CZ to be here with Aura. CZ has a detection skill which Aura doesn't, So If Human-Adel tries to fight, Aura could use her animals to help in capturing him. Even Adel is Aura's counter in Undead form, but he isn't ...in Human form.
It would be better if Mare came here instead of Aura because he is absolutely Adel's counter, But to think of what will Mare be if he should have to explain or made an excuses for what had happened to Those Lizard man?
Not good, definitely. Mare is the worst at lying.

" That's right, Hamsuke-san! but try to bend down your legs a little more while you're kicking and it'd be perfect! "
Zaryusu Shasha, The Leader of Lizard man is encouraging Hamsuke, The {Ex} Wise king of the forest and the others Lizard man warriors. They were practicing martial-arts near the River.
" Zaryusu-san~~! This is already my limit! I can't bend down anymore! I'm going to break my legs-Kosaru~"
" Ahaha, Maybe it is because your body-size Hamsuke-san." Zaryusu laughs, Then the other Lizard man who heard the joke also laughs flowing him. This made Hamsuke felt her face didn't cover with a fluffy furs,they may saw a red-hamster face already.
" Zaryusu-san! Don't mock me like that~~!-"
" Ahahha...Oh..." Zaryusu was about to continue laughing, but As he saw A group of Vampire-bride and Vampire-werewolf walking around their village behind Hamsuke, He stopped laughing.
" Oh... that's...that is Lord-Shalltear's Vampires aren't they?" Zaryusu questioned. Even he spends all of his lifetime rightnow in 6th floor, but he had seen Shalltear's Once and also her hench-man, Vampires.
" Heh? where?"Hamsuke then turned her head back as she saw Zaryusu eyes were focusing at something behind her.
" Oh... Yeah...that's right... what did they do here?...aren't they suppose to be in 1th floor?" Hamsuke asked.
" I don't know..." Instead of getting an answer, Hamsuke received a words I don't know from looked at the Lizard man behind him, their face didn't seem different from Zaryusu this mean it was useless if Hamsuke want to ask the others that isn't Zaryusu because they didn't have any idea either.
" I see they've come here since the morning... i wonder why..." Zaryusu said.
" Why don't you ask them? Zaryusu-san?"
" Who dares..." Zaryusu replied the Hamster.
" ...umm..Maybe...they aren't...that Scary...Zaryusu-san..." Hamsuke said, " You have to be brave enough"
He then walked to the Vampire-bride
" Uh...Excuse me-"
As Hamsuke started to speak with the Vampires, they then turned their face to see Hamsuke immediately as she calls them like someone just snaps their neck. A Black eyes, red pupils, and a dead-face...Doesn't matter How their beauty are, but this actually jumpscares Hamsuke.
" Wahhhhh!-I-I-I'm so sorry! -Kosaru! "
" Oi, oi...you're make too much noise"
A voice of a little girl behind the Vampire-brides scolds the Hamster. Hamsuke then lifted her head up and saw a Dark-Elf with yellow hair and her beauty face. This made Hamsuke realized suddenly that This little girl is one of Hamsuke masters, Aura Bella Fiora.
" A-Aura-sama?!"
" Yes! Yes! It's me! low your voice down!"
Aura walked out of a middle of the Vampires.
" P..Please forgive T..This one ! Aura-sama" Hamsuke was shaking in fear. Zaryusu Shasha at her back and The Lizard man are also came after Hamsuke, to praise and welcome Aura.
" Uh..We're so sorry, Aura-Dono. We haven't prepared a welcome" Zaryusu bowed.
" No need to, Zaryusu. I've come in my own business" Aura said.
" Anyway, Have you seen a Man in a brown coat?" Aura asked them directly.
" Eh?...You mean?..A human?"
" Yeah" Aura said.
" He's just a friend of mine. Nothing special, I just want to know if you guys see him or not?"
" ... "
Aura saw a group of Lizard man, and the other species that aren't Heteromorphic races fall in silence. She saw each of them turn their face to another Lizard man next to them and start asking each other.
"I didn't see any of him... Aura-dono" Zaryusu replied.
" Oh... is that it?... Okay...I see...Thanks you guys. Now, go continued your business" Aura said.
" W-wait...Aura-dono"
" Hm?"
Aura turn around, some of random Lizardman behind Zaryusu Shasha had called her name before she was going to leave them.
" Is he a man with a white face?"
" ! " As a Lizardman asked, Aura eyes widened. her pupils expanded. She then quickly walked passed Hamsuke into a group of Lizardman. They're all moved themselves out of Aura's way.
( He could be anyone... but however...I have to make sure that He is Adel-sama...)
" Could you remember his getup? and his detail?"
" Y..yes,Aura-dono...He wears a brown coat..and a purple shirt inside.H-He has white face...and a very black circle around his eyes... I didn't fully see his face but i think... there're something red around his mouth"
( That's it... That is Human..Adel-sama)
" Where did you see him!? "
" Y-Y-Yes.. i was training.. I saw him walking around there..."
The lizardman then pointed their finger to a River on their left side. That made Aura turned her head following his finger.
" You have any idea where he's going?"
" No-no...Aura-dono. because someone had called me...so i turned my head away from him... but when i turned back...He's gone"
"... Alright... thankyou..."
" Aura-dono. Is there any problem with that man?.."
" Uh-ay-uh.. No, no. I'm just looking for him. If you guys see him, tell him that i'm looking for him..okay?... If possible, please tell him to stay here"
" Did he get lost in here?, Aura-sa-"
" Just do what i said!" Aura yelled at Hamsuke.
" Wahhhh-! I'm sorry! kosaru-! "
Then Aura turn around then she ran away.
"...hm...Aura-sama has Human friends?... strange...I thought they prefer to have human as a food.." Hamsuke complaint in confuse.
.

" "
Cz was in searching around a jungle next to Lizardman's village. with the Vampire werewolf and the Autamatons hench-man. CZ saw Aura running towards her and that's what made Cz called out Aura's name.
" Shizu!... we were right... Adel-sama is here!"
" ! " Even shizu is an emotionless Automaton, but what Aura told her surprised her not a little.
" He comes here to wait for the Homunculus!" Aura said.
.
.
.
[Cut to near a River]
Aura ,Shizu and their hench-man were standing all around a river where one of Zaryusu's lizard man told her that he saw Aura brought most of The Vampires and Beasts over here but She didn't forget that Human-Adel may have leave this area, So she still send The Dragons and Some beasts to anywhere else.
" Could it be that...Adel-sama .already left this floor?" CZ asked.
" It's impossible. I have closed all the doors since we're here" Aura refused.
" That Lizard guy told me that he saw Adel-sama here.. Cz..could you do it?"
" Umu." CZ nodded her head leaned herself down to the , It could tell that CZ was in Detective mode rightnow.
Suddenly,CZ's right eye irradiated a green light
out of it, like a mechanical instrument that has been switch-on.
From CZ's eye-view, Now everything was green like we turn on a night ,This is one of her skill that she uses for detecting traps but if it is a little trace like Foot-steps or blood stain, It could be moderately detected. Sometime Shizu used this skills to look for a small peice of her gadgets that she accidentally drops it ,either.
Shizu keep crawling around the ground, Suddenly she found something. In her perspective,The sward that used to be green appears a white footprint in a size of a man's shoes. Shizu then kept looking around her circumstance and she found that The footprint goes in to a jungle. That means she had no choice but to keep following it.
" Found it."
" Found what?!"
"A footprint"
" R-Really!?"
Cz didn't reply Aura's question. She immediately starts following the foot prints.
" Oi-Shizu?! Wait! ". Aura and her beasts followed CZ2128 Delta from behind. Aura didn't have to ask Shizu if she'd be confident if that footprint is not from something like an animals or not. To Aura, CZ2128 Delta even she's not that clever, but she's not a dumb like Shalltear.
CZ2128 Delta kept following the footprints for an Automaton like her so she doesn't have to blink, She wouldn't have to worry if she'd miss a footsteps while closing her eyes.
CZ lifted her head up from the ground, She's looking forward to a circumstance infront of footprints had come further than she thought. It went along the river across the Jungle. What CZ saw in this scanning mode right now was like Someone just stepped his foot on a White-poster color then walked on the ground.
CZ still following the footprint, Now..She had entered a devious. it's not a big deal Shizu,These couldn't object her. Because Aura Bella Fiora behind her promptly ordered her beasts to move any objects that had obstruct CZ from going,Like Aura knew what to do.
Finally, They've come across a Jungle. But a distance couldn't make them feel any weariness. They've come out from the other side of jungle, they saw their hench-man and Vampires were in searching for Adel there.
CZ gazed her eyes up, She saw a white-Footprint leads her into a Cabin.
" A cabin." CZ said after she had been quiet for a while.
" Eh? you mean... a menagerie? overthere?"
Aura pointed her fingers at a brown cabin. If we look out to it from outside,It will be look like.. it is small. But Inside, is very this place is Aura's&Mare's menagerie, the animals in here are Nazarick's animals below Level 50.
This place also had been Hamsuke temporary resident for a while before Ainz ordered Aura to build a green hole.
And this place is not like something...like Chicken Farms ,Pig farms or Cow farms where they send those animals to be a part of the fast food...No...no.., Animals in there are not being treated like that, Remember, they're Aura's animal So she treats them like a puppy.
Aura opened up the doors.A sound of the Cabin's doors scraping on the floor caused a loud noise was a signal for every life in there that someone has come in.
" Make sure you guys surround this area."
Before came in, Aura turn her head to her beasts and Vampires-hench man. They nod their face down, spliting up and went all around the Cabin from inside and outside. Now, This Cabin has been surrounded by The beasts and Vampires.
A footprint still goes in,So they kept following. Finally,CZ2128 Delta saw it went up to the 2nd floor. She then lifted her face up.
For somehow, a 2nd floor of this cabin didn't have any animals like the first floor, because the 2nd floor is used to store fodders so it's a little bit dark.
" 2nd floor..." CZ grabbed her rifle from her waist and brought it up to her arms, in ready-to-fire position. She's been following by Aura from the back. The other Vampires were on the first floor and the giant beasts were outside. So there's 2 of them who went to the 2nd floor.
Aura grabs a whip that's been hanging on her waist both grabbed their weapons instinctively. They didn't realize what they were doing. A second floor was a little bit dark but it's not the problem. Because Aura Bella Fiora just turned on a light. A second floor is technically familiar to a ware house, It has nothing but just a wide room filled with fodders and a big window to look outside at the corner of the room.
" Adel-sama! I know you're here! please come out! " Aura shouted, her echoes voice reflected all over the floor.
As The light has been turned on, CZ expected that she'd found A man in a brown coat standing somewhere around here.
But what they actually saw was... Just an empty room... It has nothing here.
CZ then turned on her traps-detecting skill again, But she have to find that... A footprint... has gone.
" ! " CZ automaton's eyes widened, She couldn't believe what she had seen. How?... The footprint has gone?... h-how?
" What is it? Shizu? you look...puzzled" Aura who saw Shizu twisted her eyebrows asked, Actually ...this was the first time Aura saw Shizu expressed some emotion out of her face.
" Its gone."
" Eh?... what's gone?..."
" A footprint.." CZ replied, She grabbed her rifle tighter, She carefully walked, pioneering. Like a SWATs team that has entered a situation area.
From CZ's action, made Aura automatically knows that something was not right.
Aura carefully goes at the left, CZ goes at the 's a mountain of straws on both left and right. So Aura and CZ has to check at back
of The straws too.
" ! "
CZ saw something was moving at the corner of her eye, she moved her rifle, following it and aimed at the spot which she thinks it has something there. If she wasn't wrong, that thing moved to the back of a stack.
could it be a mouse?... or...could it just be a small animals?..probably...but she had to make sure, Not just randomly assume it.
CZ slowly moved to the back of a heap of stack, closer...closer...and closer while her hands still aimed a rifle.
" Adel-sama. If you hear me. please come out."
"..."
No reply.
" Adel-sama."
"..."
" hehe...he...hehehe.."
CZ heard a sound of someone was wheezing,Aura {Who's already finish searching an found nothing} heard it too. They immediately rushed to a sound's cradle.
" Aghhh-!? "
CZ and Aura shocked as the image infront of them. It was a fat man, he's laying on the ground with his back leaning against the wall but what really shock them was... This man wears almost the same getup as Adel-Boogeyman suit. His face was painted in white, with a Black circle around his eyes,A Big Red smile on his mouth. But the colors looks like it has been painted so hastily like a naughty kids just took their parents white board marker and draw something on their face for fun. In the other words is... This is not Real Human-Adel.
" What the-?" Aura yelled in shocked.
Around the man's body has a splat of a blood, like he was beaten in a gang assault. All Aura could tell to describe this man was...He's not okay...obviously not okay.
" [Wheezes]" The man continued wheezing, Like he's been waiting for them all along, Like he's been waiting to be found at the beginning.
But Instead of Immediately rush in to him to see if he's fine or not, CZ and Aura started to take a survey around he's definitely a Human. And that also shocks both of them.
An atmosphere of confusion was filled after they've found makes him here, and why does he look like that?...They don't know, but what they really know was...Something has gone wrong.
" Why did...Human...here?..." Aura questioned, But She's not receiving any answer. CZ2128 Delta walked into him, she then opened up his collar...showing his finally, She has already got an answer to answer Aura's question.
On his open neck, It has a set of numbers has been written on like a tattoo. This made CZ gets it already, because any Human that allows to be in Nazarick only have 2 conditions.
First, They're Ainz's guess or a special person which Ainz has invited them in here or a population of Nazarick Like Tsuare, Aureole Omega, and Adel's third form.
Second Condition, they are No one,nothing special, nothing personal...They are Demiurge's. all of Demiurge's prisoners would have a set of number on their neck. They're also nothing more than..A food.
In this situation, This man was in the second condition. Now CZ has already cleared that...This man is Demiurge's prisoner. after the previous question had been answered, a new question pops up... How did he get down here? 7th floor is in a very high-security, especially, it was in Demiurge's, the smartest floor guardians ,responsibility So it is impossible for this normal ...weak..human to break the jail out.
CZ then shown his neck to Aura, Causing the same idea in her head.
" Demiurge's prisoner...h..how?" Aura questioned.
" ! "
CZ and Aura startled, As the man reached his limpsy hands and grabbed CZ's military scarf, he then pulled it closer to him but Unfortunately, he's just a human. His weak force couldn't even make CZ moves, However, It's lucky for him that a people infront of him weren't someone like Shalltear, Albedo, Naberal, Demiurge..or human haters. So he hadn't been killed outright.
But CZ bend her face closer to him, This man breathing rate was very low. He ran out of force. It's like... He was going to...die.
Another thing that made Aura and CZ astonished was this man had no fear in his eyes. He didn't afraid of them like the others used to be.
The man opened his mouth, his low-voice was sent out through his neck,passing the air.. into CZ's ears, However next to CZ was Aura, so ... both of them heard him.
" must...stop...the mad dog... must...stop him...please..."
As soon as the man finished, He released his hands from Cz's scarf. He collapse down to the floor. lying down with eye closed...his voice never comes out his throat again.
"...eh?...Oi...Oi..! wake up! Tell us how did you get here! and where did you get this dress? " Aura grabbed his shoulder and shake it to left and right.
CZ reached her fingers out,touching his neck at a pulse spot. A spot which used to invariably jiggle was now 's dead.
" He's dead." CZ said.
" Huh-?..." Aura boggled.
Suddenly, A man's hand was opened after he closed it all was holding something in his fist.
Aura saw it, she then took that object out of his dead-body.
It was a paper, not actually a paper...It was more like a short-note. On a short-note, It has a text been written on it.
" Window." CZ read a text on a paper. Aura lifted her head up,looking at the only window in this room. A giant one infront of her.
Rightnow,everything was fall in Bewilderment It had happened without any connection like it just randomly occured. Aura and Shizu felt like they just jumped into the middle of the situation, they don't have any idea what's going on.
" A window...could it be...that...window?" Aura questioned while slowly walking over to a giant window infront of her.
" That man they saw...must be this man.." CZ said instead of answering Aura's she had already understand rightnow was...That Lizardman didn't see Human Adel. but he did see this prisoner in alike Adel's getup. In the other word is, That Lizard man saw a fake Adel. CZ then took off this man clothes, searching his getup if he had taken something that could be a clue about how could he got out. Suddenly, CZ's fingers touched something in his brown took it out and found that It was a small white box. She then opened up the lid and saw a some kind of A spell-paper inside.
While that, Aura finally reached a window, She take a look outside, she saw nothing but Her beasts and Shalltear's vampires&Bats down there.
" What does this mea-"
As Aura didn't even finish on her complaining,
" BANG!"
" WHAT-THE-?! " Aura extremely jumped out of her skins, She jumped backward and fell down to the ground.A loud bang shocked both of the rooms occupants. A sudden noise was accompanied by a body of Shalltear's Vampire bride being tied to a noose, whose eyes painted into a black circle and her lips has been drawn with Red curve line,forming a shape of creepy fell down from the above of the building into the position of face-to-face at Aura from the bang sound was a sound of her Body hitting a window.
CZ who heard a sound immediately stood up and ran to the window, passing a shocking dark-Elf behind her, She tap her hands to a window.
Everything had happened so fast and too sudden. Aura and CZ couldn't adjust their moods.
This mishap vampire has something was pinned on her clothes above her left breast, It was a Poker card with a clown,he's holding some kind of stick which the top part of it is replaced by his own face.
After Aura composed her conscious in a second, She then immediately lifted her fingers up and contact to someone.
" Message!...Shalltear! We have a trouble!"
At the same time, Aura saw CZ ran away from a window to outside the Cabin.
" Shizu!? Where're you going?! " Aura shouted.
" 7th floor." CZ shouted back, " You stay here, I will go look at the prison."
Even it was a short answer, but that was enough to make Aura knows what Shizu was thinking. If this man could get out Demiurge's prison, That means his prison might be broken out. But the question was How?...because 7th floor didn't have only Demiurge who takes a responsible, but he also has his hench-man. They didn't notice that their prisoners have just escaped?
.

[Cut to Entoma's side]
Mare and Entoma was appointed to do searching in the 9th , Mare and Entoma didn't intimate to each other that much...Except The pleiades, No one actually wants to get near Entoma like the other members of The Pleiades because she eats something that The others don't, and that thing scares them. Or even her own infront of them, Entoma eats human. But when they're not here...She eats...her snacks.
However,that doesn't make Entoma feels depressed or lonely...Not one Nazarick doesn't have just only 1 arthropod.
Entoma and Mare splitted up, Mare went to 5th stayed in 9th ,The bug maid was walking along the her bestfriend,Human-Adel.
She didn't actually understand Yuri's suggestion to Shalltear,But she heard that Yuri Alpha,her sister,said that there would have a lot of chance that Human-Adel would show himself up to those 2 are very close 're close enough to the level that Entoma won't even get angry if Adel slaps her prat from the ,Adel did respect her in the same way as the others.
Even Entoma herself doesn't understand why did a relationship with her and her young master has grown so fast like this but it's actually good for her.
In addition,Not only Entoma whom Adel always comes to but also every insects includes Cocytus Unfortunately,Since Cocytus have his job to do, taking care of Lizard man Village outside there, plus 5th floor is full of an NPC's that have an intellect of their own like Nigredo. So Adel isn't allowed to go there. Adel has also complain this topic to Entoma said he want to take a fight with Cocytus sometime but Himself and Cocytus also have a lot of work to Adel has planned that He would challenge Cocytus for a Battle in the next holiday, if possible...
Summarily,what she gained from her master is... Adel does have something with an arthropods like Entoma,Cocytus and Kyouhukou,which she doesn't know why.
Suddenly,Entoma saw a group of people in a black suit were crowding around.
No doubt, They're Eclair's butlers.
But what really suspects her was there're so much of them...Oh...that means...Eclair brought all of his servants out here?
A Butler penguin was standing infront of a line of his subordinates,and there were also some of the Homunculus maids who were {reluctantly} waiting for this penguin to give an orders to them.
"Do not leave a single speck of dust behind!"
"Yee/Yes!"
"umu... a solemn battlecry the time when I rule the great tomb of Nazarick!"
"Yee!" This time, There were just male's Homunculus maids didn't join the last half of the penguin's the other hand,They shown a displeased out of their face.
" Eyahhh?!-E..Entoma-san?! " As Eclaire saw The bug maid coming,He got himself Second to Cz2128 Delta,Is Entoma Vasilissa Zeta whom eclaire is fear of.
Entoma didn't she saw it was useless rightnow to have a conversation with them,Well...actually they now, what really matter was A searching for Human-Adel.
However, Eclaire saw someone who's following Entoma behind her. That made Eclaire needs to greet that person.
" Oh...Greetings,Solution-san. What-what a nice day, don't you think?"
As Eclaire finish his words, Entoma shockingly turn het face She remembered that She was walking alone in this hall!..Plus..Solution-Epsilon,her sister,was now at E-Rantel...So..How the hell did Solution could stand behind her?! that's impossible.
As Entoma turned back to figure it out...She couldn't believe what she had seen.
Behind Entoma was a 166 cm. was a blonde beauty with spiral curls and blue eyes, and clothing that emphasizes sex appeal...Need not to ask for sure. She is Solution Epsilon, Her sister.
Solution nodded to eclaire with showing her beauty smiling to of replying back.
" It's hard to find you two walking around here. Is there anything wrong?" Eclaire asked.
Entoma then turned her face back, She must pretended like Solution was with her at the first place.
" Well...Nothing special" Entoma replied, she then going to walk passing eclaire and the that, her head was thinking about how did Solution get here? What the frick?
At the time when she passed the Homunculus, she heard them whispering to each other.
" Entoma-sama must looking for that man right now..."
" eh-? that man who came in a canteen?"
" Yeah-.. that man with a makeup"
" I was wondering what's good in him? he is the one that shizu-chan is putting her attention on!...I don't understand why she so interests in a freak like him?!"
Entoma wanted to throw her talisman to them,that would made she bit her lips rightnow if she have one ,she must bear it. She hopes that they'll feel extremely regret like Lupusregina Beta if they knew who Adel really is.
" ! " Entoma startled, As some one put a hand on her shoulder next to turned her face to that hand,she then lifted her head up and found Solution Epsilon was shaking her head,It's a meaning for Entoma not to put her attention on that conversation.
"Oh...anyway..So-chan... Why are you here?!"
Before Entoma was going to ask more, A half of Solution face was waving..And Finally...It turns into a man which answers all of Entoma's doubt.
Because That man was Imp-Adel Positron Sigma. Entoma finally realized, She's completely forgot him before splitting up with it also answers why Entoma didn't feel anything when he's following her from the back.
"Wahh-?!...Adel-sama?!.."
that half of a man's face turns back into a face of Solution Epsilon.
Entoma then saw her fake sister's eyebrows bends up like hyperbola with eyes closed.
That made Entoma understand automatically that Imp Adel was ridiculing her about forgetting him with sarcastic face.
" Awwwww...You're getting touchy? Adel-sama?~ Ahehe~-" Entoma giggled.
Even in this serious situation,but these Different varieties friends still striking a sarcastic words to each other in humor.
Adel { in Solution appearance} also giggled at that ironic words,However..He didn't even get angry. On the other hand,He like it.
" I thought you'd have staying at Shalltear-sama's room?"
"..." Her fake sister didn't answer, instead ,He's shaking as Entoma questioned him.
" Wait... don't tell me that...you are stalking me and Mare-sama since we left Lord Shalltear's room?"
"..." Fake solution nodded. that's enough to answer Entoma's doubt.
" You are such a bad boy!" Entoma yelled mildly at Her fake sister.
Entoma could see her fake sister was showing a regret that, she turned her face back to sneering then look back to her fake sister put her hands up and put it on Entoma's head. she {he} put it back to her own {his own} head.
In short and simple, Imp-Adel counters Entoma back by mocking about her heights comparing to him.
" Aaaaaaagggggghhhhhsssss- again?!-Aaaaaaaa" Entoma felt embarassed, she beated her insect fist in a combo to her fake sister's chest while making herself like a crying baby.
Her fake sister grabs her insect fist, and forced it to stop like what they always do.
Then she {He} brought back the serious to Entoma somekind of " Alright...guys..let just put ourself back on business shall we?"
Fake Solution then released Entoma's fists out, and she walked to the opposite side of her.
" Adel-sama, where're you going?"
Fake Solution then pointed her fingers at the hallway.
" Uh...-? You would go looking for your Human in that way?" Entoma guessed.
Fake Solution noded her face down.
"..A...alright..." Entoma then waved her hand to her fake sister and splitted up with her young master.

" Oh...It's CZ Delta-sama, isn't it? It's...very.. strange that you have come to a place like this... May I ask why?" A Demon was standing infront of CZ2128 Delta in order to object her from keep on going. He's no one but Greed.
Evil Lord Greed is an Evil Lord of the Great Tomb of Nazarick. He serves as one of Demiurge's subordinates in the 7th Floor.
Greed had heard that CZ2128-Delta is a few people in Nazarick who're some kind of "Good-heart".She loves cute Animals..She loves a place like " Wonderful Nature"..."Peaceful" or something like that ,so it made him twisted his eyebrows in doubt that What makes a person like CZ2128-Delta came to a place like 7th 7th floor is a crimson lava flowed like river, with numerous bubbles in these currents bursting as they reached the surface. This place, which was thoroughly inimical to the living, perfectly fitted the description of a "hell world".
" Please, Let me enter Demiurge-sama's prison." CZ didn't answer greed, Instead,She directly stared at him with her mind was now extremely ? Because If that man could get out Demiurge's prison. That means there was an jailbreak in 7th floor which CZ has no idea why did The 7th floor's area guardians didn't know about could be count as an unforgivable mistakes.
" P-please forgive me,CZ-sama but I can't. That place is Lord Demiurge's private area.I don't have power to give you a permission..I'm sorry.." Greed replied didn't mind that Shizu didn't answer his already used to her Nature.
" You see any prisoners got out?"
" Eh-? What was that question? Shizu-sama?...Of course not. No one could get out of that prison" Greed replied in confusion, Actually..He had already confused when Shizu entered this place..and asked him a weird questions.
" You sure?" CZ asked again,But This time It made Greed looked down at this Automaton in a little anger in his voice.
"Shizu-sama. You are disparaging our work. Please, stop. No one could get out without being seen" Greed answered.
" You wouldn't tell me anything? Shizu-sama? Why did you ask something like this? why did you come here? and why did it need to be those prisoners?.. What's wrong with them?"
Shizu couldn't answer Greed,She didn't reply anything. Because she couldn't think of an for her that she is Automaton,So that she didn't show any sign of emotions. If she were the other races,She would be shaking and sweating rightnow.
" Shizu-sama. Are you ... Okay?-"
" Let her pass,Greed"
"Eh-?"
Suddenly,Cz heard a men's sound coming from her lifted her face up and saw greed was staring at that man in frightened.
Shizu then turned her face back to see him, and finally...She also shocked.
Because a man who's standing behind her was Demiurge. The Leader of everyone in 7th floor.
" D-D-Demiurge-sama?!"
" Let her pass" Demiurge repeated his words again.
" U..Understood,Demiurge-sama!"
Greed moved himself away from Shizu's way in trembling.
Demiurge then walked to Shizu, he was standing infront of her.
" I'll lead you to my prison." Demiurge said in gentlemen's voice.
" ...Demiurge-sama..I thought...You were ..outside this day..."
" Oh, I just forgot my little equipment here. So i've come to bring it back. and i saw you, standing with him." Demiurge explained.
.
.
.
A Large doors have been opened up, A friction between a door and a ground caused a pretty Loud noise. It could bite someone's ears.
Demiurge leads Cz2128-Delta to his prison.
Shizu then immediately walked into it.
" The prison is only one way path, and there would have a bars between the warn yourself not to vomit ." Demiurge said.
Shizu carefully checks The jails, She saw humans were sitting in there,Some were sleeping,Some were laying on the ground.
Doesn't matter what they're doing now, But Shizu could find something that all of them have the same.
A Desperation.
All of people in jails didn't have any hope in their eyes, Or could tell that...They are live with didn't have an eyes which human used to have. Like they didn't have Pupils, they have just...a gray eye-colors. No ne talks to each other, No one was are all... bogged down with...their experiences in Demiurge's farm. There's many kind of people in there...
CZ saw a saint...but...A saint.. Didn't pay for their gods anymore, Moreover...He ripped his Bible off into a peices...and threw away against the prison wall...which means...his spirit breaks turned her face back and continued her searching.
CZ had tought once that 7th floor is the floor she doesn't want to enter the most. And today..What she was observing rightnow actually stressing her belief.
CZ checked all of the jails from the begining, She didn't find anyholes in it...She didn't find any sign of someone's pulling a was locked and in-secure.
This caused CZ an unlimited doubt. This made the situation getting stranger and stranger.
(...Should i tell this to Demiurge-sama?...)
(...there's no choice...I must ask him for help)
" . Adel-sama is-"
"..."
"..."
"..."
" Lord...Demiurge...?"
CZ had turned back to Demiurge for telling him the situation she was very nervous, But...As she turns back,She found that The Guardian of the 7th floor disappears,Leaving a door opened.
" What... ... "
.
.
.
" Shizu-sama. Sorry again for my rudeness"
Greed bowed his head to Cz2128 Delta,She was now going to leave to 7th entered Demiurge's prison, Shizu didn't find any evidence that could lead to The fact that The prisoners had escaped. Even it was just only 1 man who is already dead in 6th it could have more.
Could it be others of Demiurge's prison which he calls it "farm"?
This question poped up in CZ's head for a second, but it has been answered by her common sense immediately.
Because That place was outside of Nazarick.
" .Demiurge-sama?." Shizu asked.
" Lord Demiurge have just already left out. Shizu-sama. He said that he needed to go back to continued his work outside."
" Is there anywrong? sir?" Greed asked.
" No." Shizu then walked pass Greed,on her way out of 7th her doubt about Demiurge behind.
.
.
.
.
Shizu had come back to 6th floor,her destination was A Warehouse which She and Aura had found a dead body of Shalltear's Vampire bride and A prisoner who dressed like Unfortunately,he They didn't get any clue from him.
Shizu noticed that Aura had already set the weather in to a night. Basically,This is not actually a stupid action,On the other hand, Shizu knows that Aura had done it on the purpose of Allowing Vampire to do their work.
An ability of searching of the Vampires are better than in a day.
Shizu finally entered an saw The Lizardman were standing surround an ,They couldn't Shalltear's Vampire and Aura's animal had hedging an area around under the radius of 50 meters.
It could be told in the other way that rightnow,Around Aura's menagerie was not different from A place where The Vampires&beasts were surrounding like Police surrounding a Crime-scene.
CZ inserted herself through The Lizardman and Spear Doesn't matter how crowding they were,because as they noticed CZ2128 Delta,they moved themselves out.
While that,CZ also heard a sound of 6th floor's population were talking.
" What happened?...why did...Vampire on 1st floor were here?..."
" Yo-Is that..Aura Dono' moster?-"
" What they're doing? I can't see!"
Luckily,They didn't know what ,CZ ignored directly heading to the Vampire's suddenly moved themselves out from objecting CZ' way.
Walking along her way, Finally CZ got herself in the 2nd floor of Aura's warehouse.
Inside,She saw Shalltear, Yuri Alpha her sister of course,Aura and a squad of Vampire brides were standing all around the place.
Shalltear and Yuri were gathering around The Body of the victims.
They suddenly noticed that An automaton who is one of the members who're responsible for finding Human-Adel was finally turns back.
" 7th floor are one breaks out..Nothing suspicious." CZ reported.
" So...How did...this man got himself here?"
Aura staring at the man's body,asking a question which no one could answer.
But What Shizu had noticed this time was, Shalltear Bloodfallen was in calm...She's very different from Shalltear that she has known.
"S-Shalltear...Y-You..You a-alright?...Why did you still so calm w-w-when Y..your subordinate has been...k..killed..." Aura tapped her hand on Shalltear's shoulder. She was very nervous about this.
" Oh...about that..."
" I don't really mind,actually...I also kills them while i'm boring either" Shalltear turned her face to Aura and answered in chill then she turned back.
"But the question is...why did he kill them? to protect himself?...or did he think the Vampires would do harm to him?..." Yuri said.
Yes, That's right. The reason why Shalltear wasn't go mad or get angry that her subordinate has been killed was because these either Vampire brides.. or Vampire werewolves...Vampire Bats...and etc are just somekind of POP 're spawned from an ability of Shalltear. As Vampires can create lesser could easily creates the other of them and replace with the old one they've died.
" Oh...Oh-okay...{damn...didn't realize that}" Aura gazed her eyes away in for her that Shalltear was still focusing on the body so she didn't see Aura face turns red. If so, she would have been mocked.
"However!" Shalltear said,"This is...not just a finding of A missing person anymore..." Shalltear picks up a Joker card on her subordinate's corpse and pick up the other card she found in Library. She placed the cards infront of Aura and Cz2128 Delta.
" He is...one step ahead from us.." Shizu, Probably the smartest person in here infered.
"..." Shalltear bit her nails in rancerous.
" "If you think you could find me...then try it"...That's what Human-Adel-sama wanna say?"
Aura asked.
" As far As i'm considered...I think he also means like that..." Yuri said.
" Human-Adel is not affable..!" Shalltear said.
" Oh...What about this?...I think we should check it.." Yuri brought something up, It was a white box which CZ found a spells paper inside.
" We should open it in my room. Aura!.. Tell your beasts to clear this area up. The corpse have nothing in it anymore. We've got everything they had already. Yuri, Took off this man's coat and burned him." Shalltear ordered.
" What about your vampire?" Yuri asked.
" Leave it there, It will disappear in a second now.."
.
.
.
[Shalltear's room]
A white box was placed on Shalltear's table which was encompassed by everyone in the had been already opened.
In Aura's hand was somekind of spell-paper.
" ... ready?"
" ...umu..." Shalltear nodded her head down.
A paper flew out of Aura's hand,It then turned into a blue the end,it turned into a white screen.
In a screen,It appeared an image of Shalltear's Vampire bride was sitting on the chair,she's been her face had been painted into the same makeup as Human-Adel.A circumstance around her was the same place where they found her body.
That's right, This is the Vampire bride whom now is this is a video before she died.
Shalltear's eye her,this was took a big gulped in her throat.
[In a Video]
{What is your name...?} A voice of a man,calling her from behind the was the one holding a camera.
"..." No response from a vampire ,because she doesn't have a name. That's why she couldn't give a men behind the screen an answer.
{Who are you?}
"...S...S...Shalltear...servant..."
{Why are you here?}
{ Guessing time... you're Looking for me?- }
{ Looking for me?-(wheezes)- LOOKING FOR ME?-(wheezes)-}
Suddenly, A Camera had turned away from a hapless Vampire to a person who's holding this camera,{Like selfie}.
" ! " Everyone in Shalltear's room shocked.A person who's holding a camera ,He had a scary-makeup on his face.
No doubt,The way he spoke, the way he used an accent...It automatically defined him. He is Human-Adel...A real one.
Human Adel then talked to a camera, to a people who's watching.
{ You see, This! is what happens when son of Ainz Ooal gown! is missing! Everyone... is loses their minds!}
{ If you wanna catch me, you have to play my little rule is simple! That Coward must stop hiding and turn in..., Oh.. and every hour it doesn't, people will die. Starts from that Hamster-...}
A makeup man then put a camera then zoom in his face.
{ I'm a man of my word-HYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-}
An image was shaking by a laughing of a screen then turned off, end of the before an image had been cut off,everyone saw that Human-Adel had turned the camera to A vampire while laughing then he rushed into her.
"..."
A dead air was filled the room, Everyone remained silence.
Not just Shalltear was shocked for what she've seen but it happened to all of them.
Even shizu always has an emotionless face,but that doesn't mean she's lack of emotion.
Yes, Shizu also felt something in her head.
A feeling... of Terrifying.
"..S..sister..."
Shizu gazed her eye to Mare bello fiore,brother of tightly enfolded his wooden staff to his body, his legs bend to each other while his eye was still focusing on the air which was the same spot as the magic eyes were trembling... no...his entire body was trembling...he was shaking in frightened.
"..." Aura reaction was not different from her brother, but was didn't sure if she would heard her brother's voice or not.
" ... T...this...this can't be real...r-right?..." Aura said.
" Sister...I...I'm scare..."
CZ then gazed to Entoma, her sister. Eventhough she is the one of a few people that are close to Adel but CZ could sense a feeling of terror from the bug maid either.
" Impossible..." Yuri's face paled, Suddenly her green passive works.
" Hggggg-! "
Mare then startled as someone tapped a hand his Mare turned his face to the person,He immediately jumped away from him.
Imp-Adel was staring at Mare,who was now standing behind Aura's back,As he tapped his shoulder ,Mare automatically moved away from him and hiding behind Aura.
This brought a nervous to Imp-Adel's purpose was only to console Mare had already got himself scares of Adel.
Imp-Adel tried to reach Mare again,But this time... Aura was also a person who moved away from more he reached the Siblings,The more they moved away from him.
" -sama...Please forgive my presuming. But you have to realize that...Imp-Adel-sama and Human-Adel-sama are totally... different people.." CZ walked behind put her hands on Adel's was the most person in this room that kept her cool.
As Aura and Mare realized, they moved closer and be back to normal.
" Ahh- we are so sorry,Adel-sama.." The siblings bowed.
"..." Imp-Adel formed his index finger and thumb in to circle and shown it to them { an OK sign}.
" my god..." Yuri Alpha turned her face back with a hand covered her fore head. She probably be the most nervous person in the room.
" Is that man...r...really...Adel?" Yuri
questioned, Rightnow, the atmosphere in the room had turned in to a couldn't actually believe what they just saw.
" He ...is...cruel..."
A little sound from Mare, was sent to his sister's ears but loud enough to make everyone heard it. He still sticked with his sister in fear.
" Shalltear! We must report this to Ainz-sama rightnow! This is getting out of our hand!" Aura yelled.
" NO! "
A bawled from Shalltear Bloodfallen came out of her throat, It was very loud that made a room fell in silence again.
"..." Aura looked at Shalltear in stunned.
" What do you mean?!"
"..." Shalltear lowered her eye-sights down to the ground.
" I...I just promised Ainz-sama...that I would handle this..." Shalltear said.
" But Shalltear! You didn't remember what did he said in that Video?!-"
" I DID! "
Shalltear cut Aura's word.
" We can't let Ainz-sama takes care of everything... Don't you think it is shameless when you just promised something and being back out ?...especially...with our Supreme leaders?" Shalltear started to explain the reason, " We can't let Ainz-sama deals with everything ... We must help ourselves if we could...And this is our chance!... A chance to show Ainz-sama that we have a potential! What will Ainz-sama feel if he hears that his guardians...and his maids couldn't deal with any problem but asking for only his help like...like a baby? " Shalltear said, To this line, it was like a big hands and slaps on everybody's faces.
"Wouldn't that made him disappointed in us? We are The servants of the great supreme one... but we can't even find a missing person?..."
" We...are that incapable?..." Shalltear asked.
"..." No answers given, everyone was now considering if Shalltear's word made any sense.
" I agree with her."
" CZ?!"
Cz walked out of a group of people, she's standing next to Shalltear her face was different from everyone. Because CZ's face was showing the seriousness.
" Adel-sama...he challenged us... If we report this to Ainz-sama...this means we surrender...and this shows that we are lack of capability and aren't worth enough to be his subordinates..."
"...Okay...okay...{out hales}...alright..." Aura said,"So...what we're gonna do from now?" Aura questioned.
" The same... Find him...but more carefully..." Shalltear said.
" With respect Shalltear-sama,but he's going to kill hamsuke" Yuri said.
" What time is it?" Shalltear asked.
" From now on... there is 48 minutes before the next hour arrives,Lord Shalltear"
" Alright... we must hurry... even there're still a time left but we can't be careless.. Mare!"
" Y-Yes..?"
" Tell your animals and your servants,If they found Adel...arrest him instantly...-hmm?"
Shalltear had been provoked from behind,she turned back and found was moving his fist and slowly tapped it on his own face twice. This means he wanted to say something.
"...eh?..."
" Aura?... what did he mean?"
"...hmm..." Aura walked closer to Imp Adel,she's considering at his body language.
" I think he means... If possible... we should use violence inorder to catch Huma- WhAT-?! "
" ! " As aura said Violence, Everybody shocked.
" What do you mean?! Adel?!"
" Adel-sama! We can't do that!... We can't hurt our master! " Yuri rushed in the middle of Aura and Shalltear. She's the most panic one in CZ's sights.
Imp-Adel shook his face,he then tapped his hands on Yuri's shoulder.
" This is the only way...? you mean?..." Aura -Adel turned his face to Aura and noded.
From Imp-Adel expression rightnow could say that he was displeased by his Aura of hate went out of Imp-Adel's means he was absolutely upset at his Human-form.
" B...but..."
Imp-Adel suddenly put his hands on the hesitating Yuri's face and holded it towards him, to make Yuri focused on his sincerity.
"..." Yuri lowered her eyes down," If...if you said...so..." She didn't want to do this,but Adel was serious this claims that they should do it if they want to catch Human-Adel as fast as possible.
"Shalltear...Don't you think he's lying?" Aura asked.
" I don't think so...what he'd done to my vampire is a proof that he would do it... doubtlessly"
" But why?...Why did he want to kill hamsuke?..." Aura questioned.
" I don't know..." Short answered from Shalltear," But he must have a purpose behind this..."
"he said people would die as long as that " coward" is still hiding...who is that coward he mentioned?" Yuri asked.
" He is saying something we don't understand...something that only him and that person knows..."
" Let's focus on hamsuke first" Shalltear said," Asking about things we don't know will cause nothing more than a waste of time and a headache..."
"We need to focus on how to catch when we complete it... we will invest him about everything he had done. easier?" Shalltear said.
Time is come closer and closer, by spending a time asking for a questions that no one knows would be such a waste of they should do is catch him as fast as when they actually arrest him, the answers would be automatically given.
" okay...you were right..." Aura said.
" I have a good idea" Shalltear said, she then took a book she had brought from Library and placed it on a 's a military novel.
" I've read it a little bit, I could easily transport hamsuke to a safe place by my {Gate}."
" Oh, That's the great idea! Shalltear, so we will bring Hamsuke here by a {Gate} and so, Human-Adel-sama can't-"
" But I'm not going to do that"
" Heeeeehhhhhhhhh?! -" Aura shouted in confusion.
" Shalltear what are you saying!? if we bring Hamsuke here by your {gate}... that will be our check mate !..Human-Adel-sama won't be able to reach her!"
" Aura...listen to me 'til the end first!" Shalltear yells back at the dark elf, She then sighed.
" I know that if we bring that hamster here by my ability, Adel won't be able to kill her. but think about it wisely" Shalltear explained," if we still keep Hamsuke in 6th floor, that means Human-Adel would have no choice but to bring himself in 6th floor right?"
" So...you - you are going to say...you will use Hamsuke as a bait to lure Human-Adel-sama out... and when he comes out...we will catch him?"
" Um-hmm, thanks to this book. At first I'm shocked at this , but come to think of it, If Ainz-sama or..or Demiurge were here instead of me, he would probably do this."
" About Demirurge-sama." Shizu raise her hand up, " He had come here but..he left already.."
" Did you tell him about this?"
" I was about to. But he went out .." Shizu said.
" Hmm...strange...well... probably he's really hurry this time..." Aura said.
" Ahh... what a pity..." Shalltear moaned.
By Contacting Demiurge and asking him for assistant seems to be a good they were afraid if they would disturb Demiurge was very busy with his work outside and it would be better to let him continued his work that has been given by Ainz.
Shalltear doesn't want a help from Albedo and Pandora's actor either, the reason has been written above.{and I believe that i don't need to explain why shalltear doesn't want to contact albedo, right?}.
" Aura-sama..What do you mean strange?." CZ asked Aura.
" because actually, Demiurge is a calmly guy...so it's a little bit strange that you said he came in and immediately...went out..."
" Anyway, Adel...you could only used skill of a form you are staying,right?" Shalltear turned to Imp-Adel,questioning.
As Imp-Adel heard Shalltear's question, he moved closer to Entoma Vasilissa Zeta.
" Eh.?...Adel-sama...what are you doi-"
PFFFFFF-!
Imp-Adel knocked his fist on Entoma's body,That cut her words off. Now,Entoma was like a puppet which has been hung on a wall. She was now stand still like a stone.
This shown that Imp-Adel is using {Knocking} on her.
"...i see..." CZ knocked her fingers on Entoma who was now like a statue.
Adel snapped his fingers, Entoma was be able to move again.
" Adel-sama! I was shocked!...Don't ever do that again! " Entoma was a little furious, but however, her reaction was cute as only strikes her insects fist at Imp-Adel chest like a Combo because that was the highest position she could reach because of her heights against Adel.
Shalltear turned back to Aura and Yuri.
" Now only problem is that Human Adel could use his skill either, If he used his ability that makes people being inmovable..."
" But Human-Adel-sama is still weaker than us.. Ainz-sama says that Human-Adel's level is under 50? right?... so his ability in human form won't stop us from moving...right?...i think he couldn't do anything much.." Aura said.
" Umu, I agree. But we must not be ...He is intellect is the same level as Demiurge and Ainz-sama." Shalltear said.
Speaking of Adel's skill,{Kocking} is a special skill which is one of Adel's domain. It is a skill that doesn't exist in Yggdrasil or this generally involves striking the nerves or pressure points that control movement of living creatures made them fall in to a state between dead and alive which mean those people who've been knocking-ed by Adel would neither alive nor die but they could observe everthing happening around them. It might sounds paradox that they didn't alive but could observe everything happening around what really observed things is not one's nervous system like eyes. but it is a person "soul" that is overlapped with his body,observing things.
For example, if one's has been knocked. their body will not be able to move. every system in his body will stop. that includes even a heart-beat,Blood circulation system and a brain. But it didn't make him died, his HP won't be affected. or it could be told in the easiest way that it is like his "Time" has been stopped, but his soul didn't stop.
However, Adel's {knocking} skill also based on a Level of users. Its power and stunning time would be different depends on a level of a person he used on and his own level.
Quick example, If compares between Entoma and Shalltear blood fallen. If Undead Adel used {Knocking} on them. Entoma would be stunned forever because her Level is lower than him the differences are too much. On the other hand,Shalltear would be stunned like only 5-6 seconds because her level is the same as him.
Of it was Human Adel, Entoma would be stunned for 5-6 seconds because her level is more than him only 7 level... But Shalltear wouldn't receive any effect of {Knocking} because Human Adel's level is very lower than her.
" But we won't just leave Hamsuke in 6th floor right? Lady Shalltear?" A nervous Yuri asked, Used Hamsuke as a bait to lure Human-Adel was a little bit cruel in Yuri's perspective. But can't refuse that it seems work to her.
" Yes, I won't. Hamsuke is in Ainz-sama's property. So we must protect her.I think we should tranferring her through something... if we let her walking outside...Adel would probably kill her by A sniper."
" So ... should we lock her in something like safe-house?" Yuri asked.
" Maybe my Cabin" Aura suggested, " It's the safiest place in 6th floor. I'm very confident, No one could passed through even he is Adel-sama...It seems rude to say this...I'm so sorry Imp-Adel-sama" Aura then bowed to Imp-Adel.
" Okay... the Cabin, We will transferring Hamsuke to your This is The Human Adel's he attacks, we will take him down."
" Woahhhh-Shalltear!...This is brilliant!"
" Heh-Heh-heh," Shalltear giggled, She's pretty proud in her idea.
" But- Is it better to transfer her through your {Gate} to Aura-sama's Cabin?"
" If we do that, We will never meet Adel and if we won't, we won't catch him...,don't forget!" Shalltear explained.
" Oh...okay.."
" Move most of the animals to 6th floor, If he shows himself up, don't afraid to use violent" Shalltear repeated her orders.
" Understood!"
.
.
.
.
" Wahhh-? V-Vampire-sama, where are you taking me to?"
Hamsuke has been called out from her home by Shalltear's has been dragged out and was now staying infront of a Huge Black Box. Its size is twice of Hamsuke.
Behind the box, Hamsuke saw a lots of beasts and monster from 6th floor, Vampire wolf and Vampire brides were guarding a caravans which uses to tranfer a horses were standby to take Hamsuke to its Hamsuke is a dragon, a big dragon. Surely, it is Aura's dragon.
What they actually did rightnow was not different from tranferring a president to the white house. Guards are all over Hamsuke. And that made she scared.
The Box then opened up. Inside, It has nothing more than an empty space which fits a size of Hamsuke.
" Get in." Aura walked out of a crowd of monster.
" H-Heh?!-W-why?"
" I said Get in! " Aura shouted.
"Ahhhh- This one is so sorry! ~Kosaru-"
Hamsuke get herself in a box reluctantly.
Aura sighed," Good grief...you don't even realize that you are going to get killed... do you?.."
Aura complaint, However, She didn't mind if Hamsuke would be like can't tell Hamsuke about what was going to happen to would be a troublesome and cause panic among the village.
"A-A-Aura-sama?... Where would you taking me to?...I..I'm scared- it's dark in here.."
" You don't need to know. But you will be alright. That's what I could tell"
" Y-You aren't going to dump me out off Nazarick,are you?"
" Of course not! Now just shut up and be right there!" Aura yelled in furious.
" Wahhhh-! I'm so sorry-Kosaru~!"
BAM!
Aura closed the Box, leaving Hamsuke in gazed her eyes to check if everything is according to the plan or not.
A box which Hamsuke was in were tied up to another carriage.
"{Message}... Shalltear, everything is ready. Hamsuke is already in the box"
" {alright... good}"
