Intermission: Shimobe's Moment
One hour after the first regular report meeting ended.
In the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, in Shalltear's private room, the ``Death Wax Cemetery'', on the second floor, not only Shalltear, the owner of the room, but also Albedo, Aura, and Mare were present.
"Wait, why are you even here?"
Looking back at Mare, who was hiding behind her, Aura tilted her head in doubt.
This gathering this time was a girls' party for the guardians of the hierarchy, and Marley, who was a boy, was not included.
While Mare was terrified at Aura who stared at her intently, Albedo stepped between them with a soft smile.
“Don't stare at me like that, Aura. I was the one who called Marley.”
"What about Albedo? Why again..."
"Of course, it's to ask about Peroroncino-sama in Carne Village! Actually, I wanted to call Narberal and Yuri, but they were on standby at the site this time..."
Shalltear and Aura made expressions of understanding towards Albedo, who had an extremely disappointed expression on his face.
Unlike Shalltear and Aura, who had the opportunity to act together with the Supreme Lord on missions outside, Albedo, who was entrusted with Nazarick's absence, was not given such an opportunity . , and Shalltear and Aura felt the same way.
"... then, wouldn't it be better if that guy named Nigun also participated?"
Remembering the existence of the man who recently joined Nazarick, Aura tilted her head curiously.
However, Albedo let out a small sigh and shook his head.
"Oh, that's no good. Anyway, I'm being taken away by Demiurge again this time."
"Wow~, I'm so sorry... At that time, you were in tatters at the end... what the hell did you do?"
"Fufu, of course it's a guidance, huh. It's only natural if you're going to be with Ulbert-sama instead of us, right?"
Albedo showed a soft smile and tilted his head cutely.
Aura, Shalltear, and Mare exchanged glances with each other, and while their expressions were indescribable, they kept their mouths shut and decided not to push further.
We proceeded to the back of the room and sat down on the chairs prepared around the round table.
The vampire brides, who were waiting in the corner of the room, started serving, and a small girls' party--although Mare is a man's daughter...--has begun.
"So, Mare. What was Master Peroroncino doing in Carne Village?"
Albedo rushes to Mare as soon as possible.
After jumping her shoulders for a moment, Marley returned the cup of tea prepared by the Vampire Bride to the saucer and fearfully opened her mouth.
"Um, umm... you used to talk to the people in the village..."
“…Come to think of it, at the debriefing meeting earlier, it was reported that interaction with humans was good.”
"Rather than that, the problem is the woman that Peroroncino-sama cares about! What kind of people are Enri and Nemu?!"
Shalltear glared at Mare with a hannya-like expression.
In a panic, Marley got up from her chair and hid behind her sister who was sitting next to her.
"Hey Shalltear~ Don't threaten Marley too much."
"Oh, I'm not threatening you..."
"But you sure are curious... Hey, Mare, can you please tell me?"
Unusually, Albedo also agreed with Shalltear and looked at Mare. But despite her usual soft, gentle smile, her beautiful golden eyes weren't smiling at all.
When Marley shook her body with a start, her gaze swayed from left to right as she shrunk down.
"... uh... huh... um... he looked like a normal human, but..."
"Then why! To such a little girl! Peroroncino-sama, who is the supreme one! You broke my heart!"
"Th-that kind of thing... even if I tell you..."
"... And to give you a bow made by Ulbert-sama...!"
Finally, Shalltear threw her face down on the table and slapped it powerlessly.
If it wasn't for her creator, Peroroncino, she might not have been so shocked. However, unfortunately, it was Peroroncino who loved all beautiful girls, regardless of race, and for that reason, Shalltear, of course, and Albedo, never looked nice, and were filled with jealousy.
Mare watched the two of them and vowed never to say that Peroroncino had promised to teach Enri himself how to bow.
A grieving Shalltear and Albedo releasing absolute zero energy.
After Aura and Mare looked at each other as the situation suddenly got out of control, Aura raised a cheerful voice, trying to recover the situation even a little.
"Oh, come to think of it! Shalltear went to the base of human thieves with Master Peroroncino! How was it?"
"... Gusu... How was it..., what is it...?"
"So, didn't you see something cool about Peroroncino-sama?"
At Aura's question, Shalltear's cheeks immediately turned red.
Her expression, which had been sunk in sorrow, became ecstatic, and her large crimson eyes also became moist.
“Ufufu~, it's only natural that Peroroncino-sama is cool, but when he's fighting, he's brave and very nice!
“What did you mean!?”
Albedo rolled his eyes and leaned forward at Shalltear, who was overwhelmed with emotion as she hugged her own body and twisted her body.
Its golden eyes are glaring, and it looks like it will jump at you at any moment.
However, whether Shalltear didn't care at all or just didn't notice, Shalltear let out a hot sigh with the same rejected expression.
“He easily hugged me sideways, and when I was in danger, he dashed to me and hugged me.
Perhaps remembering that time, Shalltear's pretty lips let out a hot sigh, and her face turned bright red as if she was hot.
Seeing Shalltear excited by herself, Aura's eyes widened, and Albedo, filled with intense jealousy, held a handkerchief in his mouth and let out a strange squeak.
However, it was not Albedo who was just being told. Albedo let out a big sigh to calm himself down, and then showed a proud smile even though he was a little cramped.
"... Huh, that's sweet, Shalltear. Do you think you're the only one who's been favored by the supreme beings?"
"What do you mean...?"
“According to my research, Mare and Entoma have also been picked up by Peroroncino-sama.”
"What!?"
"Also, I haven't received Peroroncino-sama's favor yet, but Ulberto-sama let me ride with the Jersey Devil!"
“……………………”
Shalltear was the next one with a jealous expression, and Albedo was the one with an ecstatic expression.
As for Shalltear, the fact that not only herself but also Mare and Entoma have been picked up by Peroroncino has made her look like a demon.
Mare let out a small scream again and desperately hid in Aura's shadow, who stared at Albedo with half-open eyes.
To tell the truth, Aura was also allowed to ride with Ulberto, but I promised myself not to say anything unnecessary here.
Not knowing that Aura was thinking about such a thing, Albedo held his cheek with one hand and his eyes were filled with tears.
"... Ah, Ulbert-sama... pure
“Uh, Ulbert-sama told me to hug you!!?”
Shalltear rolled her eyes as if she had heard something that should not be ignored.
To be more precise, he was only told to hold on tightly so as not to fall because he shared a ride behind him, but neither Albedo nor Aura said anything.
Albedo was preoccupied with the memory of that time, and Aura didn't want them to point their finger at him.
"...But, I can hear about Master Peroroncino and Master Ulbert, but I don't know about Momonga-sama's activities."
"Yes, that's very unfortunate. Next time, let's ask Momonga-sama to bring Narberal back."
Shalltear's words somehow lifted her spirits, and Albedo finally calmed down and nodded loudly.
After that, they started exchanging stories about how attractive the Supreme Beings are.
Just like before, Aura let out a big sigh as she stared at the two of them who were having a heated discussion.
At first, I just wanted to hear even a little about the activities of the supreme people, but when did this happen...?
(... it was wrong from the member's point of view...)
After staring at Shalltear and Albedo, I let out a small sigh.
Marley behind her seemed stunned and completely useless, and Aura felt like she was getting a headache.
Aura's hardships will continue.
◇◆◇◆◇◆
"Guga!!"
Along with a small voice, a loud destruction sound and dust rise up.
This is the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick, on the 6th Floor
There were two figures on the vast circular site, one standing upright and the other lying on the ground struggling to get up.
"Hurry up. Do you think you can help Ulbert like this?"
Standing upright and immovable, it has a long silvery tail that flickers suspiciously.
The one who manages to get up despite being dizzy is Nigun, who is in tatters.
As for what the two are doing in a place like this, to put it simply, it was training.
Even so, only Nigun was attacking, and Demiurge was single-mindedly handling and repelling.
However, it was the attacking side, Nigun, who took the damage. On the other hand, the Demiurge on the side of the attack did not take any damage.
The place where it blows away to the far back even though it is just repelling, should I say that it is an absolute person of level 100 boulder?
It could be said that it was natural for the two of them to have a hopeless level difference, but Demiurge wasn't really showing off his strength .
"Kokoni Itanoka, Demiurge"
While Demiurge and Nigun are facing each other, a large shadow suddenly creaks.
"Oh, Cocytus. It's rare to see you here. Did you need anything for me?"
"Uhm, I heard that you've been training the previous gun.
"I see. But he's still very vulnerable. I doubt he'll satisfy you."
"No, I'm interested in this world's unique way of fighting.
"Hmm, if that's okay with you, I don't mind."
Demiurge accepted the offer from his friend with a soft smile.
Nigun himself had no reason to refuse—he didn't even have the right to do so in the first place—he bowed to Cocytus and then turned to Demiurge.
While chanting in a low voice, I readied the dagger borrowed from Ulbert.
Appearing with a faintly shining magic circle
First
However, it didn't work against the Demiurge at all, and before the dagger touched the Demiurge, a strong impact struck Nigun.
He was blown backwards with severe pain from Hatotail.
The sound of destruction resounds again, and the smoke rises up.
Demiurge's merciless voice flew at Nigun, who had fallen to the ground and was unable to get up.
“……Really, use your head a little while fighting.
"Hmm... I've seen some interesting battles..."
In stark contrast to Demiurge, who had an irritated and dissatisfied expression on his face, Cocytus, standing a little further away, muttered quietly with an amusing voice.
After chanting recovery magic on himself, Nigun managed to stand up and head towards the Demiurge again.
Change the way you fight, devise it, and face it again and again.
The story doesn't progress...
Ah, I can hear everyone's voices... "I'm writing this kind of intermission, so the story won't progress"...
I'm sorry I'm really sorry I wanted to write it, please forgive me ... orz I
'll do my best to update as soon as possible after the next time ...!
