Within the Adventurer's guild where adventurers go and in doing jobs after jobs are currently admiring the newly form team know as Darkness that became adamantite ranked far quicker than any team that had that rank.
When Darkness came back from the vampire incident the team suddenly got five new members which according to their leader, help them fighting against the vampire.
"Damn… Look how cool they are." One adventurer whisper to his teammate.
The new members are very well equipped befitting for their rankings…
The first new member is wearing a strange set of red leather armor which covered the entire body preventing everyone from seeing his exposed skin, the helmet adds weirdness even further being shape like a triangle. The armor also has white feather attach to the helmet and forearms.
The second member is considered to even weirder among the members of Darkness being that he wears a long waistcloth covered his legs and feet, he also wears black and red steel armor on the top which is full plated and to top it all off with a hood, a weird looking hat and a plain black mask which cover his face.
The third one is pretty small compared to other members of Darkness despite that he has a large variety of impressive tools that no one can recognized. He wears purple leather armor with odd marking and a hood that cover the head but not the face which make him one of the few members that shows his face.
The fourth one is also the same size as the last member, she appear to very cute but her equipment betrays what everyone originally thought and quickly paled at the sight of two massive steel pavise shields that would be too much even for an adamantite to hold. It's help that she's wearing another massive of the same design on her back. The fourth member doesn't seem to wear armor but some type of skin tight suit that cover her entire body minus the head.
The final member is by far the most bizarre one being the fact he wearing the largest helmet any adventure has seen so far being twice as big as human head if not even more, he wears full plate steel armor that covered all of his armor thus making him the same case as most members of darkness.
Murmurs continued as Darkness turned in the mythril-ranked requests they got.
"Y-yes almost forgot about that u-uh we no longer got anymore mythril ranked request… sorry." The receptionist said nervously.
"I see. That's good, because I just remembered something we had to do. I'll be returning to the inn; if there's anything, look for us there. Do you know where we should be staying?"
"I do. Is it the Shining Gold Pavilion?" The receptionist asked.
Momonga nodded, then flourished his crimson cape as he turned and walked away.
[Ulbert Alain Odle: So this is the adventurer's guild? It is not as impressive as the one in Yggdrasil but it did it's best.]
[Bukubukuchagama: That was a rather odd of you to say that Ulbert, did you grow soft?]
[Ulbert Alain Odle: Hey at least I appreciate honest work although I think it needs improvement.]
[Warrior Takemikazuchi: Ulbert is right, they should get adventurers to train in order for them to get stronger.]
[Herohero: At least they don't overwork their adventurers so that's good.]
[Touch Me: Thankfully, I can't even imagine what it would be like for them if they are told to go overwork.]
[Momonga: That is indeed very good for them. Peroroncino, you seem to be quiet in this conversation.]
[Peroroncino: Eeehh. I can't stop cringing…]
[Nishikienrai: What's wrong?]
[Peroroncino: You know why…]
[Yamaiko: Oh. *giggle* You're still on to that aren't you.]
[Tabula Smaragdina: Hah! You're still freaked out on your sister! That's gold.]
[Bukubukuchagama: Ah yes I look like a loli and yet I'm your sister how does that make you feel?]
[Ulbert Alain Odle: Hahahahahaha! Oh dear, I'm thankful I had my mask on. My smile can be seen by everyone in the world!]
[Peroroncino: Shut up!]
[Herohero: Don't worry Peroroncino, your sister is only going use to that form in her adventurer persona.]
[Peroroncino: That doesn't change anything at all! You don't how she tormented even when she has no idea what's going on! Everytime I found a erotic games I had to research it just in case my sister voice acted a character in those games, her voice can easily ruin my momentum!]
[Momonga: "Ruin your momentum"!? Hahaha! That's comedy gold!]
[Peroroncino: Oh shut up! And sister why did you pick that form!? Whyyyy!?]
The message just continued all the way to Shining Gold Pavilion.
(The Great Tomb of Nazarick, 10th floor: Throne)
"So this is village you're talking about…" Punitto Moe said as he look at the lizardmen that were doing work.
"Yes Lord Punitto Moe, I believe if Lord Momonga were to create undead out of their corpses then it will much more powerful than the ones with humans." Albedo responded with complete dedication.
"I see…" Punitto Moe mutters.
'Damn. I really don't want to get innocent people die because we want stronger soldiers… The guys will not like this.' Punitto Moe thought nervously as his friends teleported in with their adventurer outfit.
"Oh welcome back, how are you guys doing so far?" Amanomahitotsu said as he entered the throne room.
"Went well so far. Albeit Peroroncino was having problems with his sister's disguise." Momonga said while trying not to laugh.
Everyone except Albedo who doesn't understand the joke smirk at Peroroncino.
"Shut up…" The avian player said with nothing but anger while he and everyone change back to their real form.
"Heh… Sorry about that. So what's the report?" Momonga move past that joke and ask his death vine friend.
"Ah yes, Albedo can you leave the throne room? We want privacy to discuss this matter personally." Punitto Moe ordered Albedo however she seem to panicked.
[Punitto Moe: Ah dammit she think I'm displeased with her report.]
[Tabula Smaragdina: Just tell her to calm down and make shit up to convince her why we need privacy.]
[Amanomahitotsu: That doesn't sound to fatherly Tabula.]
[Ulbert Alain Odle: What else we should do? The NPCs are too loyal to the point of panic if we happen to be displeased just a little bit.]
"No Albedo you didn't do anything wrong, we just need to discuss the report in private that's all." Punitto Moe explained which calm her down just a little bit.
Albedo left the throne room as ordered.
With a sigh, Punitto Moe turned to his friend and say:
"At least that solves it, I need to be more careful with what I say. Anyway here the report Albedo gave to us."
After Momonga and his friend read the report they are quite… Conflicted.
"I… I don't know what to think…" Momonga said, while he may be undead it doesn't change his decency.
"Did Albedo think we could slaughter innocents people just for stronger soldiers?" Touch Me bellowed with an slight anger.
"I agree with you Touch Me." Yamaiko said as she took Touch Me's side
"And I thought we are doing just fine without committing bad things…" Amanomahitotsu mention in a sad tone.
"I mean it could benefit us but… I'm not sure what to think." Ulbert speculate with uncertainty.
"I don't think we even test that idea, not sure If I go through it though." Tabula questioned if the idea that stronger body mean stronger undead.
"I not sure If we could accept this type of thing, what about you brother?" Bukubukuchagama asked her brother with doubt.
"I'm the same boat as you sis." Peroroncino agonized alongside his sister.
"How are we going to get ourselves out of this one?" Nishikienrai contemplated as he tried think of a solution.
"This is not good at all right now, and we are ones that can decide the fate of this village…" Warrior Takemikazuchi said as he look at his friends.
"Okay we need to talk about this in the meeting." Momonga said as everyone agreed and went to the meeting.
(Great Tomb of Nazarick, Meeting Room)
"I vote no to this." Touch Me immediately said as the meeting began.
"Didn't even waste a second…" Ulbert said silently.
"I also vote no." Yamaiko sided with Touch Me once again.
"Calm down you two, we hadn't even made the decision yet." Momonga said as he receive glare from Yamaiko and Touch Me.
"O-okay we need to think of way to… fix this problem…" Momonga queried but the glare only intensifies.
"Alright! I understand your problem with this but we also need to keep an image that NPCs viewed us to be as evil beings that does terrible to benefits us." Momonga explained which cause both Yamaiko and Touch Me to be conflicted.
"Yeah, this is pretty much our fault we set them like that. Hell I'm willing to take most of the blame." Everyone especially Touch Me is surprise at Ulbert's confession.
"You don't need beat yourself Ulbert, beside you're not the only one that wanted our wanted to be evil based." Peroroncino said to Ulbert.
"Yes, true your not exactly the best person to hang around with but you shouldn't take the blame." Touch Me acknowledge Ulbert's action.
"Jeez thanks Touch Me." Ulbert leered as he look at Touch Me.
"Don't push it…" the world champion retorted at Ulbert.
Everyone laughs at his comment.
"Okay let's get to the problem, Albedo recommend that we should use the corpses of Lizardmen to make stronger undead. The problem is that we need to keep our image in fear of the NPCs rebel against us." Punitto Moe explained the situation.
"Ok what do we know of the lizardmen village?" Nishikienrai asked the strategist.
"They have quite a number, while some are warrior some are not." Punitto Moe show the village with remote viewing mirror.
"Alright the village seem rather protected even though we could demolish it with no resistances." Warrior Takemikazuchi mused as he look.
"Those guys cannot stand a chance at all…" Yamaiko grimaced at the prospect of slaughter.
"Shiiiiit your right…" Peroroncino said as he think how screwed the lizardmen are.
"Maybe we should spare the non combatants and kill the actual fighters…" Bukubukuchagama suggest.
"Hmm. Not a bad idea we could give them preparation to ensure that the civilians would evacuate while the other die." Warrior Takemikazuchi said having to agreed to the idea.
"Actually this could be the opportunity to see if the NPCs learn…" Momonga said which caught Warrior Takemikazuchi's attention.
"Already ahead of you, I got Cocytus to learn how to be careful against opponents with items." Warrior Takemikazuchi said to confirm.
"Wait really? No wait what about leading an army?" Momonga asked which got Warrior Takemikazuchi off guard.
"Well no…"
"We need to see if an NPCs learn something big something that could change their way of thinking or even how to improve." Momonga explained.
Everyone realize the benefit of this but Touch Me is still conflicted.
"Would the warriors have least a quick death?" Touch Me asked with concern.
"You don't have to ask. They have done nothing to us while it is unfortunate for them to die, they will have a quick death for sure." Momonga reassure Touch Me.
"Very well. I vote yes." Touch Me agreed.
"Me too." Yamaiko also agreed.
Everyone nodded at the decision.
"I see… Do you guys mind a change in plan? Afterall, you learn far more from failure than succeeding." Momonga said ominously which cause the eyes of his friends raise with curiosity.
