Oops… Two pages seem to be stuck together.

Hm? Some kind of glue?

Ah. This is the second page of the same list.

No rush... I'll just finish reading what Demiurge has written on this page before reading the other page.

Let's see... the bottom of the list...

Kyouhukou's underlings

Vampire brides

Albedo

Shalltear

Aura

[(o.oI] ...

[Io.o)] ...

[o_o?] Eh... Why is Albedo's ranking so low on the list with Shalltear and Aura?

I guess I understand the physique of Shalltear and Aura is close to that of immature children… but Albedo…?

Undoubtedly, Ainz-sama has already deduced that immature bodies are unsuited to bear children. Unless, of course, it is to your fancy.

[~.~)=3] Cough... I'm spluttering liquid bone marrow.

Please... mercy.

Regardless, the real problem is with Albedo.

The temporary sharp decline of Nazarick's military strength could prove disastrous...

Mmhmm... logical...

... though the real reason is because Albedo has a set of extremely well-built and toned eight pack abs.

[0.-7] Huh...? Let me rub my eyes.

Did... did I read that right?

... Albedo has a set of extremely well-built and toned eight pack abs.

What do you mean she has eight packs!?

I learned of this important detail when you provided us the chance to work together as a team to defeat the evil tree. Albedo blocked my full power punch like it was nothing.

No, Demiurge. That is her class ability and armor!

Besides, her bottom when she sat on my lap was nice and sof...

Ahem!

Wait... actually... considering Tabula...

Hmmm...

The presence of such a solid build make it very likely for the left abdominal muscles to separate from the right during the course of pregnancy.* We could lose Albedo's military might for an extended period of time, but more importantly, Albedo could be left in a sorrowful state of health. Abdominal separation is very common and sometimes a normal development. Healing spells and abilities cannot cure what is not abnormal or not considered a wound.

So, Albedo has eight packs?

No way Albedo has eight packs, because it wouldn't make sense with warrior gap moe...!

... but if we add class beauty gap moe... it is totally plausible for Tabula...

Urgh!

Demiurge, why have you placed me in such a conundrum!?

Let's just get this over with and see who's on the top of the list.

[-.0 ^] "Of course, this is just for research purposes. Kyarun…"

[-_-] No! Not the appropriate time for a Buku-san impression!

Ahem.

The one at top of the list is…

ALbEdo

Melody Asahinai

Neurontist Painkiller

Solution Epsilon

...

...

...

[~.~)=3] Cough...

Ignoring the rest... why is Albedo's name repeated here again?

The handwriting here is a bit strange, though… like something you squeeze in at the last moment.

Hmmm... The stuck together pages that I almost missed…

It's almost as if Demiurge was making a last ditch effort to hide this from…

-XXX-

Albedo happily skipped her way through the corridors and stopped to deposit her thick document folder into the submission box.

"Ufufu… 200 pages and 60,874 words… Displaying my love to Ainz-sama… carefully detailed wedding plans, honeymoon plans, pregnancy plans and childhood education plans…"

Beneath her hair covered face, Albedo's triumphant voice faded into an evil murmur.

"… proposed marriage laws… disguised… with personal intentions to strengthen my position as legal wife. With this, I will hog Ainz-sama all to myself. My other competitors will never know what hit them. Demiurge too… The top recommendation is mine. Kukuku…"

Albedo, what did you do to him!? Demiurge, I hope you're okay, prayed Ainz.

"Ouch, ow, ow… Who knew Anti-tank snipers hurt more than homing missiles… I guess that is how Dame Shizu shows her affection. Hm? Albedo…?"

Sensing Pandora's Actor approach her, Albedo straightened her posture and fixed her hair. In a split second, Albedo suppressed her emotions, and a perfect angelic smile replaced the crooked grin. Establishing proper eye contact is proper courtesy and etiquette when giving greetings, but Albedo could not command her eyes to completely stop wondering because…

"Pandora's Actor… did you suddenly decide to grow a few more pairs of eyes?"

… Pandora's Actor's bullet-riddled head made it very difficult for Albedo to determine the eyes.

Clack.

Pandora's Actor clicked his boots together and gave a floppy salute.

"Oh! Mein*1 lovely dame*2, my eyes are for you."

The corners of Albedo's brow twitched.

"D… did you just call me y… your love?"

Ignorant of the dark aura seeping from Albedo, Pandora's Actor continued his usual performance.

"… a wild blooming flower amongst the grass… with the grand voice of Ave Maria*3… how would you like me to tend to you this evening…?"

Is... is that so? Is that why Ainz-sama won't hold me near? Pandora, are you calling me wild, loud and needy...!? thought Albedo.

Albedo was seething in anger.

"Hm? Hello? Albedo? Have you perhaps…"

Albedo remained quiet.

Pandora's Actor extended his right arm, intending to tap Albedo trembling shoulders, but Albedo left hand caught and grasped Pandora's wrist in midair.

"As expected… you have fallen for my charms, too. What can I say? Hohoho…"

Crack.

Albedo used her monstrous strength to crush Pandora's wrist. Pandora's already strange looking hand was now looking even weirder.

Pandora's Actor panicked and tried to retract his hand, but he could not, due to Albedo's overpowering grip strength.

"Argh! Déjà vu! Second time today! Speaking of which… Demiurge's hand was at an odd angle, too."

"Shut up," commanded Albedo, as she summoned her battle-axe from thin air in her right hand. "Say your prayers, Pandora."

"Now, now. As much as I would love to be doused in passion a second time today… Mimicry: [Lizard's Escape]…"

Pandora's Actor swiftly detached his arm and ran.

"… I've learned that sometimes kindling flames should be left alone!"

"Huh? What the… Get back here!"

Select route and proceed to route:

1. Continue reading with Ainz. (Route 13)

2. Follow the adventure of Pandora's Actor. (Route 14)

3. "Albedo! Ignore him and come! I need to confirm... um... you know...," Ainz took a deep breath, "... strip." (Route 15)
