"No."

This time Gafan shook his head without hesitation, raised his hand to touch the system's head, looked at the other person and smiled.

"This child will always be with me, and I will always take good care of her."

"That's it..."

Uncle Cat-Ears touched his chin and looked at the black-haired girl not far away who was still chatting with the adventurers with a happy smile. He didn't know what to say for a moment.

"...Well, her name is Liya, right? Does this child have the talent to be an adventurer, in terms of swordsmanship or magic?"

Listening to these words that seemed like small talk, Gafan thought for a while, nodded vigorously and replied: "If it's about swordsmanship, I'm just sure that child is definitely the future sword master. As for magic... .”

Recalling the results of a certain dead mage who passed away peacefully, who had no love in his life and helped with the magic talent test.

"I can only say it's okay."

"Oh, that sounds great."

Uncle Cat-Ears smiled ruggedly.

In my heart, I was thinking that I was already old. Is it almost time to find a disciple or something?

"Oh, by the way, brother Gafan, do you want to accept another commission?"

"Well, it's okay, but it's too far away from the royal capital. I still want to stay in this city for a while."

"Haha, don't worry. It's very close. It's in the royal capital. It's a commission to help patrol the royal city wall. The reward is surprisingly good."

"Oh? That's okay."

Gafan thought for a while and nodded in agreement. At the same time, he was still thinking about whether he could find the lost person who came to the royal capital.

However, what he didn't notice was that the adventurers behind him had already begun to change their eyes when they looked at him.

"Wow...'Speak to the dead'."

A certain adventurer muttered in a low voice.

And regarded this as quite interesting information.

At this time, Liya had also bounced back to Gafan's side as if nothing had happened, and then looked up at the other person and kept laughing.

Gafan looked confused.

"Um, Liya, what are you laughing at?"

"Hey, it's nothing."

This is her little secret and a surprise for Ga Fan.

Liya wanted the other party to discover it later.

"Hey, Gafan."

"Well, what's wrong?"

"I'm hungry and want to eat!"

"Okay, let's go out for a while and see where to buy delicious food. But Liya, have you suddenly become a lot more cheerful?"

"Because Gafan is here, hehe." The black-haired little girl smiled happily from the bottom of her heart.

...

And at the same time.

A certain alley.

Sebas first casually glanced at the assassins on the ground who came to trouble him, but all of them had passed out.

He looked admiringly at Climb, who had passed his test and defeated an assassin who was stronger than him on his own. Finally...

Looking at the man named Brian in front of him.

He had a thoughtful expression on his face.

"You said...there are strong people similar to me in this royal capital?"

Chapter 99: Demiurge has changed a bit

Before I knew it, the sun was setting.

The sky above the royal capital of the Li Yestije Kingdom was dyed with a red glow of burning clouds.

The day is coming to an end and it's dusk.

The crowds of people coming and going on the street were still busy with their own affairs. No one noticed that there was a man wearing a British striped suit and round-rimmed glasses in the sky above his head. He spread out the devil's wings behind him and was quietly suspended here.

Adjusting his glasses with his hands out of habit, Demiurge frowned slightly and thought.

He was thinking about Sebastian.

Although that guy is not a class guardian, he has the same level of combat power as a guardian. As the steward of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, he is also an indispensable important figure and companion.

Based on rational and logical thinking, he should maintain a good relationship with the other party, but...

I don't know why, but he really can't stand the other party's various behaviors and ways of thinking.

Especially this time, the other party actually took in a human woman named Tsuare without authorization, violating the mission requirements of being hidden and inconspicuous, and possibly affecting Lord Ainz's great plan.

This kind of thing is intolerable to him.

They are people who serve the Supreme Being. They follow and execute the orders and will of the only one left, Lord Ainz, which is the whole meaning of their existence.

Those who cannot share the worries of the Supreme Being and cannot create value for the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick have no need to exist.

He was convinced of this until...

A human princess named Qi Ye appears.

Thinking of the child, Demiurge also subconsciously adjusted his round glasses with his hand in a complicated mood.

At first, in his eyes, the child was an eyesore who went his own way, was very willful and unable to communicate, and not only failed to create any value for the Great Tomb, but also continued to cause losses every day.

Then, he took over the task of taking care of the princess from Albedo because he felt that the value contained in the various unexpected high-level items he kept coming up with was worthy of further study.

Then, he was surprised to find that as the princess made a fuss, people from all walks of life seemed to be subtly and slowly being changed by her. To be more specific,...

Increased self-awareness, or become more “perfect”?

This made Demiurge a little unsure whether this change was good or bad, but since Lord Ainz had acquiesced to all the princess' actions, he must have already had his own considerations and plans.

In this case, he wouldn't have to interfere anymore, and now...

Some aspects of himself seemed to have been changed by the princess.

Looking down at the ant-like humans below, Demiurge looked indifferent.

As before, he still looked down on this weak race and regarded them as no different from ignorant beasts. However, he no longer had the idea of ​​calling them "two-legged sheep".

Because princesses are human beings too.

"..."

Shaking his head slightly to clear away those random thoughts, Demiurge turned his attention to the royal city in the center of the royal capital. The corners of his mouth once again raised as usual, showing a polite and decent smile.

From the information he received from Sebastian, who had been tested and confirmed to still be absolutely loyal to the Great Tomb and Lord Ainz, he discovered a very interesting existence.

"Golden Princess, Lana?"

Demiurge murmured in a low voice. He judged from the intelligence that this was a human being who could create considerable value for the Great Tomb, but more specifically, he needed to meet the person in person and talk to him face to face before he could make a judgment. the final decision.

In addition, the people who can slightly arouse his interest are...

"It seems that your name is Ji Guoyuanyi?"

Demiurge recalled the information Sebastian mentioned when he exited the room.

It is said that he learned from a human named Brian who was slightly weaker than the monster named Hamsuke that Ainz-sama adopted, that there was a swordsman in the royal capital who was considered to be as powerful as him.

Because the princess often went to play with Hamsuke with Aura during this period, Demiurge was quite impressed with that monster.

That was a pretty weak guy, and he probably died without being able to withstand even a random spell from him.

And since this human named Brian is weaker than Hamsuke, his judgment is of little reference value.

Going higher, it should be at most the level of the Battle Maid Pleiades.

After meeting the Golden Princess, let's go look for it and see if it can bring value to the Great Tomb.

With this thought in mind, Demiurge, who had finished thinking, waved the demon wings behind his back and flew towards the royal city quietly and quickly.

And of course, no one can find him. The guards here are like decorations to him.

It didn't take much time. He quickly found the target and instantly appeared in a snow-white room through high-level teleportation.

He looked at the blond girl sitting in front of him at the small round table, holding an exquisite black tea cup in his hand. He didn't feel the slightest panic due to his sudden appearance, and looked at him with a smile on his face.

Demiurge knew that his previous judgment was correct.

This is a very interesting human being.

So, he bowed slightly and smiled politely.

"Your honor, I serve the supreme being, Demiurge."

"Well, nice to meet you, Mr. Demiurge, may I ask..."

Without any hesitation, Lana, who kept smiling, looked at the sudden appearance in front of her and quickly judged that the other party's unheard-of power was not a terrifying force that the human race could resist. She instantly gave up all her previous plans. and......

Putting down the black tea cup, she, the golden princess of her country, smiled softly and naturally.

"Do you need me to hand over this country to the organization behind you?"

"...Oh oh oh, how smart."

This slightly unexpected reaction made the smile on Demiurge's lips even more obvious. It seemed that the other party was more interesting than he expected.

So he stopped talking nonsense and went straight to the point without any preamble.

"Very good, quite good, then, Mr. Golden..."

Demiurge's voice suddenly got stuck because he saw the other party's subconscious smile.

It was very twisted and dark, not even an expression that a human could show, but it was a pretty good and interesting smile for a demon.

Logically speaking, he should just be looking at the other person's expression and essence with interest at this time, but in fact...

"I'll call you Miss Lana. Next, let's have a good chat."

Demiurge smiled naturally and casually.

But in my heart, I suddenly had an inexplicable instinct to reject calling the person in front of me "princess" because...

That kid, Princess, doesn't smile like that.

...

at the same time.

The protective wall of the royal city, a tower room somewhere.

Due to its remote location, few people pass by here, but today it was a bit lively.

Gazef Stronov, recognized as the strongest warrior in this country, stood here, looking a little embarrassed for some reason.

He clenched the sword in his hand with both hands, concentrated all his attention, stared intently at the man in front of him with flame markings on his left forehead, and took a deep breath.

"The captain of 'Blue Rose' came to me before and said that he would like a new member of her adventure team to help me practice my sword skills. I thought it was a joke, but I didn't expect that he would be so strong... ..”

Slightly tensing the muscles in his arms, Gazef asked without looking back, "Anglaus, can you still stand up?"

"Cough, cough, no problem."

Brian, who had no idea how he had just been knocked out and hit the wall of the room, rested his hands on the ground and took a few deep breaths before standing up for the first time, sweating.

He had been in close contact with the ground for half an hour. In just half an hour, he didn't know how many times he was knocked down by the scabbard.

This made him look much more embarrassed than Gazef next to him, but compared to yesterday when he was full of decadence and self-destruction, his eyes were so bright at this moment.

He was feeling the peak of his swordsmanship, and he was feeling himself slowly getting stronger.

"Come on again, keep going."

Taking a few steps forward, Brian stood next to Gazef again with the long sword in both hands. Together with him, he faced the man in front of him who was standing casually and naturally, but could not see any flaws, and stood ready.
