A fortable silence, apanied with the occasional ruffling of papers, filled the office of one of the Supreme Beings.

  The massive mahogany desk and chair of ornate makings, carved ience by who could only be the greatest of craftsmen, that sat right before a massive tapestry with the embroidery of an angel and devil’s wing symbol were empty.

  Instead, the couches that sat right before it meant fuests were filled with piles of ly stacked and anized files on the coffee table that sat in the middle of the two.

  Yuuji sat on one side, reading the dots as regarding the current ey and corruption withiize.

  On his head, a beautiful, sparkling, white slime sat silently, enjoying her master’s presence. While her twin, the starry bck slime, sat on his left shoulder, reading the dots along with her master.

  To his right was Albedo, simirly going through the reports that she had actually read and anized, but was reviewing once more before handing it to the Supreme Beings.

  Meanwhile, resting her head on his p was Aika. The temptation to sleep after a whole night’s worth of lovemaking, in addition to the calm, soothing silend her beloved’s warmth, was simply too much for her to resist.

  And stly, sitting oher side of the table was Lelouch, simirly with files of dots in his hand.

  “My love, Lelouch-sama. There’s something I would like to show you.”

  Both raised their heads from their dots and took the copies of the reports Albedo hao them, and began to read.

  “This is…”

  “Hm…”

  A thoughtful look appeared on both of their visages as Albedo began her expnation.

  “These are reports that the doppelganger agents we’ve sent to the Empire had gathered regarding a certain individual. She came from a line of family of talents, each with varying degrees of usefulness. This one, in particur, possesses the talent to see through the highest tier of magie is capable of casting. She also seemed to be talented in the ways of the are, at least as regur humans do, and was taught by the Empire’s greatest magic caster, Fluder Paradyne.”

  Yuuji and Lelouch immediately reized the name written at the top of the page as well as the painting of the person attached to the dots.

  Arche Eeb Rile Furt.

  A genius young magic caster who once ra the top of the Imperial Magic Academy, only to be reduced to a mere worker due to the colpse of her noble household that happened during the purge of the Bloody Emperor.

  A girl who worked her hardest and putting her very life on the lio gain money for her little sisters’ livelihood, only for her delusional parents, who refused to accept reality, to squander her hard earned silver and fell into massive debts.

  In the anime, she met a tragid within Nazarick after taking part in the raid and plunder Ainz and Albedo had set up to test Nazarick’s defensive system aablish the Sorcerous Kingdom, in hopes to gain enough moo get her sisters out of the unfortunate lives under her parents.

  However, perhaps this time…

  “We may have some use for her…”

  Lelouch muttered under his breath, his thoughts esg his lips unsciously as he began formuting pns in his mind, enough for everyoo hear it within the silenbsp;

  Yuuji nodded in agreement.

  “Yes… She’s talented and her character seems det. And with her situation, she would be loyal to her savior.”

  “I agree, my love. I’ve also taken the liberty to iigate the members of her party. They seemed… better than the rest of the workers within the Empire.”

  Albedo hahe two a few more files, each taining descriptions of Arche’s party members.

  “...Yuuji, I have Sebas and Solution go to the Empire instead?”

  The suddeion caught Yuuji and Albedo by surprise, for it meant ging their pns that had bee into motion.

  However…

  “...Alright. We have them go there.”

  “My love?”

  Yuuji turowards Albedo and smiled softly.

  “Sebas’s character and appearance is the most appropriate to establish a retionship with her. And their “background” as a well established, rich, fn noble would be perfect to attract the attention of her delusional parents. In fact, it might hasten her displeasure towards her parents, and Sebas would be able to “save” her more quickly.”

  Yuuji watched fondly as Albedo’s brilliant mind processed his words and its implication that was left unsaid. And as he expected, it didn’t take long for a look of realization appeared, and her smile widened.

  “I see~ As expected of Yuuji-sama and Lelouch-sama. Very well, I shall prepare for the ge appropriately and inform Demiurge as well.”

  Her lips curled in delight with a tinge of mischievousness as she lowered her head in a respectful bow before the brilliance of the Supreme Beings.

  A myriad of pns appeared in her mind oer the other, each capable ing aire kingdom fall into the hands of the Supreme Beings ihan a year. Yet, she kept the grad elegahat would be expected from the Guardian Overseer of Nazarid did not let her excitement overtake her.

  “We’ll have Provideake care of the Eight Fingers along with Blue Rose. With the increasing amount of deep-rooted corruption within the Kingdom, and Providence’s ret achievements with the uragedy and Vampire attack, the king might use them to invite us to the castle uhe guise of granting us rewards, and make the request to elimihe Eight Fihen.”

  Lelouodded.

  “Alright. I will hahings over in the Empire in the meantime. Albedo, please rey this to Sebas and Solution. I will open a [Gate] to the Empire for them. Have one of yents there to prepare their aodation there. Make sure its an impressive one ao the Furt household.”

  “Yes, my lord.”

  Lelouch raised from his seat with a few files in his hand, and Albedo followed suit before bowing towards the Supreme Being.

  “I’ll be going now. Tell me if you have any updates on your side.”“Mm. See you ter.”

  Their fists bumped each other and Lelouch left the office, leaving Yuuji with Albedo and the napping Aika, along with the two adorable twin slimes.

  “Albedo, please have Entoma prepare herself to apany Shalltear as her maid to the kingdom. I believe Aika has givehe Seed of Lust, so her appearance should be more “human-like” now. I will be inf Shalltear of the ge in pns.”

  “Yes, my love~ With pleasure~”

  --------------------------------X--------------------------------

  “That’s right…! I heard they leveled a massive area of the outskirts in E-Rantel!”

  “Really? From a battle? That’s… unbelievable.”

  “They were fighting a vampire that wiped out the Death Spreading Brigade and even a mythril-ranked party. I heard they had to blow up some sort of artifact to kill it…! Maybe that’s why there’s so much destru.”

  “Hey, I heard it looks like a Katze Pin… It’s all barren with any kind of life. Just what kind of battle happehere…”

  “I guess we’ll have another Adamantite Adventurer party now… I mean, they should be right?”

  “I think so too… They’ve killed two Skeletal Dragons, a notorious adventurer killer, and a Vampire Lord… I heard they’re even io the castle by the King to receive rewards!”

  “Eh? Thehey ing here?”

  “Two adamantite parties iy… Well, that’s something you don’t see everyday.”

  Shalltear walked through the hustling and bustling streets of Re-Estize’s royal capital.

  Many eyes shifted towards the beautiful, crimson red dress she wore that spoke not of her obvious richess, but of her elegand css.

  She seemed young, given her lithe and short stature, which was only slightly uplifted by the red heels she wore. They could not see her face clearly, as it was covered by the crimson red parasol she held with her lithe, white hands. But, they could see her luscious pink lips and soft, white cheeks that tapered into a perfectly shaped that invited a sed and third look for a ce to see the beauty beyond the veil of mystery.

  With that, and her pale, jade-white white skin that was matched solely by her icy silver hair, the best description that came to mind upon seeing her figure would be a “beautiful, sheltered noble young dy”.

  Their theory was further reinforced by the figure following closely behind her.

  She was a young, doll-like, beautiful young girl with dark purple hair tied up into two buns oher side of her head. Her crimson red eyes shined like deep red rubies. Her cheeks flushed with a healthy red, and her lips naturally luscious and pink.

  She was dressed in a maid outfit, but not one ventionally found within the kingdom nor the empire. Her petite body was covered in a modified maid’s outfit with propped up colrs c her nepletely, white frills, and a big red ribbon tied around her waist. And aside from her face, she did not show any skin at all.

  The walk through the dirty streets with filthy blood bags and insignifit is scuttling arou and right was one she ruly enjoyed. It was a b and unpleasant experienbsp;

  Only her orders and the thought of finally being able to meet her beloved Yuuji would normally prevent her from letting the urge to sughter take trol.

  This time, however, the smile Shalltear often wore on her mask of a demure, graceful, dy of nobility curled slightly more as she listeo the words spoken by the adventurers walking oreets that were either making their way to the Adventurer’s Guild, or away from it.

  Hearing stories about the might of her beloved master and seeing these is showing reverend awe towards him, as they should, lifted up her mood.

  “Wele to the Shining Golden Pavilion, my dy. May I show you to your table?”

  Shalltear did a slight nod towards the server who had weled her the moment she arrived before the entrance of the most luxurious restaurant within the royal capital of Re-Estize Kingdom.

  She followed the young server towards her usual table, located deep enough to allow for a personal space, but still within view of most of the highly wealthy and ron of the establishment.

  She had frequehis establishment quite a bit as it would be the pce where she would meet her beloved, giving the excuse of having just moved in and finding the meals here appealing after her first visit. And after three visits and spending generously for food and tips, she had quickly bee one of the most valued ers of the establishment.

  A week has passed since she arrived in the royal capital of the kingdom along with Entoma and acquired a massive, luxurious mansion within the upper district with funds given personally by Yuuji himself.

  It has only beely that they've been transported into this new world, a, her beloved master had taken deep roots within the ey of both the Kingdom and the Empire, quickly ing his fingers around many of the most lucrative and successful businesses within the kingdom.

  She had also heard from Aika’s stories that he had also gained a lot through “fisg” assets belonging to the cer of the Kingdom, an underworld anization called the “Eight Fingers”, and slowly shaving and cutting off their roots and tendrils.

  ‘And now, they’re starting to panic~! All as Yuuji-sama pnned~’

  Repiven to her by their doppelganger agents aoma’s is showed increasing number of murder, kidnapping, and the illegal distribution of “bck powder”, a highly addictive drug capable of corrupting even the sa minds into their sves just for the ce to get a whiff of it.

  These, in turn, created a turmoil within the pace as pressure for the to take a increased expoially by the day from o extinguish the fmes of corruption they were stoking behind the ses.

  A marvelous, self-made spiral of corruption, despair, and chaos that would leave the kingdom ripe for the taking by her beloved master.

  “Fufufu~ This is splendid~”

  “Really~? I think the food here is trash pared to our home, Shalltear-sama~”

  Entoma tilted her head fusedly. Her sweet, adorable voice. a plete juxtaposition to the words she uttered, mirr her absolutely adorable aiful appearao her true nature.

  “Oh of course. But I wasn’t talking about the food.”“Hm~? Is that so?”

  “It is. I’m simply looking forward to the day we see his pn e to fruition~”

  “Ah, me tooo~ I will do my best so I receive his praises~”

  “Good~ Do your best~”
