him for choosing such a stupid name and he started to regret choosing this name.

“I’m sorry, Momon… Black Knight-sama, I have taken up your valuable time. Then the rest of

you will be on standby, on the way back tell the others I will be leaving for the outside.”

“Yes sir, Demiurge-sama”

“The servants also approve. Come Demiurge, let’s go.”

Momonga passed the bowing Demiurge. Raising his head, Demiurge followed after.

“Why is Momon… *cough*, Black Knight-sama dressed in this way?”

“Don’t know, but there should be some reason.”

The confused demons who were left behind asked.

It was not because of Momonga teleporting, they they actually saw through him.

Although Momonga was unable to detect it, everyone inside the Great Tomb of Nazarick, no,

everyone inside Ainz Ooal Gown emitted a special kind of presence which the servants used to

determine if another person was an ally or not. Furthermore, the original 41 rulers of the Great

Tomb of Nazarick——of which only Momonga was left——had a special presence that

enveloped their whole bodies, allowing the servants to know immediately who their rulers were.

They would be able to sense such an incredibly strong presence no matter how far away it was.

Even though Momonga covered his whole body in plate armor, they would never confuse him

with somebody else.

His aura was even easier to distinguish compared to others.

Someone was climbing up the staircase leading to the first floor of Nazarick.

Judging from the aura coming from the direction of the stairs, it could be determined that it was

a Floor Guardian.

Walking up the stairs and coming into sight was the beautiful face of the Commander of the

Guardians, Albedo. Seeing that they were in front of Demiurge’s direct superior, the demons all

knelt down.

For Albedo, the sight of them kneeling down was natural and as if she did not see them, she

began to scan her surroundings.

Being unable to find what she was looking for, Albedo moved towards the demons and

questioned them.

“... I do not see Demiurge, where has he gone?”

“That… Just now Black Knight-sama came, so Demiurge has followed him outside.”

“Black Knight…. sama? I have never heard of that name… Demiurge went with that person? A

dignified Guardian follow him out? Isn’t that too weird?”

The demons did not know what to do, and could not help but face forward.

Albedo looked at the demons with a warm smile.

“Would a mere servant dare to hide something from me?”

Her warm and gentle warning made them shudder with fear and the demons were unable to

continue hiding the truth.

“Demiurge-sama has determined that Black Knight-sama is actually the person we serve.”

“.... Momonga-sama was here!”

Albedo squeaked and the demons calmly replied:

“.... No, that person’s name is Black Knight-sama.”

“.... What about the guards? Did Demiurge receive instructions from Momonga-sama? But I had

already made an appointment with him and Demiurge couldn’t have known that Momonga-sama

was coming here, right? Forget it, let’s put this aside. First, I have to get some clothes ready and take a bath!”

Albedo touched her own clothes.

Working around the clock had made her clothes dirty, her wings and tail were also looking

disheveled.

However, even if a peerless beauty like Albedo became a little dirty, it would not diminish her

good looks in any way. It was like having a million points reduced by a single point, it was no big

deal and had no discernable effect on her beauty. But for Albedo, this kind of thing was

unacceptable and she wouldn’t allow the one she loved to see her this way.

“The closest bathroom…. Would be at where Sharutia is?.... I wil be met with some suspicion….

But I should be able to bear with it for now. You there, go to my room and bring me some

clothes! Quickly!”

Namorax: Why does an undead loli Vampire even have a bathroom in the first place?

At this moment, one of the demon’s addressed the departing Albedo. That demon would be the

Demon of Jealousy.

“.... Albedo-sama, I mean no disrespect, but wouldn’t your current attire be good?”

“.... What did you say?”

Albedo stopped and angrily answered. She believed that the demon wanted her to look dirty

when she goes to see Momonga.

“.... No, I just thought that Albedo-sama is such a beautiful lady, if you were to show that you

have been working hard at carrying out his orders, you would give a more favourable

impression. In the end, it would be more advantageous to Albedo-sama right?”

The other demons also recommended——”By the time that Albedo-sama finishes showering

and getting dressed to appear in front of Momonga-sama… Black Knight-sama, who knows how

much time will pass. To miss such an opportunity, wouldn’t it be a pity?”

“Hmm——” Albedo was deep in thought. What they said was not wrong.

“That makes sense….. Maybe it’s because it has been a long time since I last panicked. I can

only see Momonga-sama after 18 hours, don’t you think 18 hours is too long?”

“Yes, it is too long”
