E-Rantel [Inn of Shining Gold]
What kind of food is this?!
It doesn't taste good at all!
My lady...
Sebas! Prepare for my departure immediately!
Understood.
Zach!
Y-Yes?
Prepare my carriage immediately as well!
I don't want to stay in this town any longer!
I apologize for interrupting your meal.
Excuse me.
I apologize for my rudeness, Master Sebas.
There is no need to lower your head.
I am currently acting as your butler.
According to the mission, that is true.
However, as a Pleiades,
I am also your subordinate at the same time.
Well. I shall tell lady Shalltear, who must be tired of waiting,
our time of departure.
By the way, is that man doing his job properly?
Yes.
He is currently meeting with a filthily dressed man.
Yeah, that's right. She's a real beauty!
He is meeting that man in an empty alley
Make sure to follow the plan.
and planning to attack us.
That's wonderful.
Everything is going according to Lord Ains' plans.
Also, Master Sebas.
May I have that man?
Let's ask Lady Shalltear. I am sure that will be fine.
Thank you very much.
Did he say something about you?
It seems he can't wait to have a taste of me.
So, I believe it would be a great chance to enjoy myself as well.
Where did the answer go? Search for it
Where's my soul?
It's like a fear, just like a nightmare
Even when I wake, all I've got is bones
I'm in a panic? Get out, hurry
Oh, there're mysteries and miseries
Dead or alive, I'm being swayed by the line between them
If I wander, right to left to hell
Invitation to loneliness, withdrawal of emotion
I dance 1, 2, 3 steps on this dark stage
Raise your flag, march on, fight
My hand reaches for the mask's edge, but only my bones resound
Wars and swords, tears and blood
I suddenly find myself laughing at the overflowing power
Where is the answer? Search for it
Where's my soul? Where's my heart?
I'm getting swallowed up by reality
Don't hesitate, go this way
I don't know, I don't care
Even if I'm moving an imitation
I just have to live on in this world
Ah, the sadness of loss aches once again
Misery-World
So our prey has taken the bait?
Yes. Spectacularly so.
I see.
It would be great if we could find the type of
magic or martial arts user that Lord Ains wishes for.
Lady Shalltear.
I have always wanted to ask you something.
Hm? What?
It seems you do not get along well with Lady Aura.
Is there a special reason for that?
I do not think we really have a bad relationship.
I tease her because my creator, Lord Peroroncino,
decided for me to do so.
To begin with, Lord Peroroncino and the creator of that shorty,
Lady Bukubuku Chagama, are siblings.
Is that so?!
The supreme beings spoke of it once.
What's wrong, Peroroncino-san?
My sister voiced the adult game I just recently bought.
Oh, Bukubuku Chagama-san.
She's quite a popular voice actress.
I was so excited about the game, too...
No way you can use a game if your sister is in it...
A voice actress?
I have heard that voice actors and actresses use their voices
to imbue souls into things.
In other words, it is a job that brings things to life.
I see! Thank you for the information, Lady Shalltear.
I am honored to learn about the supreme beings from you.
Hey! Come out!
Get out here! Hurry up!
I'm the one who brought them here,
so let me have a go afterwards!
You have bad luck, young lady.
If you stay quiet, we won't take your life.
For a little kid, you got some nice goods.
Please don't touch me with your dirty hands.
M-My hand!
You are quite a noisy one.
A magic caster!
This is boring. Clean up the rest, you two.
How did this happen?
Mr. Zach, this way!
Stop! Stop! Stop!
Save me! Save me! Save me!
It looks like we didn't catch anyone good this time.
Lady Shalltear, we have found the nest of these humans.
There is a man named Brain who can use martial arts among them.
It seems he fought on equal terms
with Gazef, the royal head warrior of this kingdom.
That name.
I believe he is considered the strongest warrior in this kingdom.
Well, this man sounds quite strong then.
Lady Shalltear, Solution and I must excuse ourselves here
as we have a mission to collect information in the capital.
Let us meet again in Nazarick.
What's going on?
Mr. Brain! We're being attacked!
I can tell. How many?
Yes! There are two enemies! Both are women!
Women? And two of them?
No need to come.
Make sure to strengthen our inner defenses.
A vampire?
Hey, now. Looks like this'll be pretty fun.
You are alone?
I do not mind you calling all of your friends, you know?
No need.
No matter how many small fries gather, they would just get in the way.
You are so brave.
My turn.
My name is Brain Unglaus.
What's yours?
Oh! You were asking for my name.
Shalltear Bloodfallen.
I hope you will entertain me well.
A foolish monster who thinks her strength is unbeatable.
My speed of god blade attack, God Flash.
And my absolute area of perception, Field.
Are you done with your preparations?
Then, I shall begin to trample you.
To fight him...
I developed God Flash and Field to defeat Gazef.
If I combine these two attacks...
Blade Technique.
Whistling Wind!
M-Monster...
Do you realize it now?
I am cruel, cold, and terrible.
As well as quite a beautiful little monster.
Are you done with your preparations?
Could it be that you can't use any martial arts?
I see. So that's how it looked to you.
Oh? Did you get tired?
I am so sorry.
Huh?
You used some martial arts just now, didn't you?
But I can only notice a change in strength by meters.
I can't tell the different between one or two millimeters.
Do not worry.
If you can use martial arts, you will be useful to my lord.
I'm an idiot.
Oh? Now we are playing tag?
You really like to play games.
However...
We should end this soon, shouldn't we?
Commander!
Brain!
What is it?
It can't be!
After tag is hide-and-seek?!
L-Lamprey!
Shoot her down!!
Main dish!
A hole?
An escape route!
Lady Shalltear.
A number of people are heading this way.
Hmm?
This is good!
My assumption! A vampire! Prepare your silver weapons!
This is a fight to escape!
Don't look her in the eyes!
I have to capture them, but I want to kill them!
I want to squash them!
I want to tear them apart and bath in their blood!
You're so cute! You're going to be my dessert!
No way...
Then, dessert! It's time to eat you!
Impossible.
This is...
Capture that woman alive!
Look in my eyes!
Where did you get this potion?!
I received it from a black-armored man at an inn in E-Rantel.
This woman was given orders by the Supreme One?
No, he must be creating friendly relationships.
Why did you come here?!
We were searching for the base of soldiers turned mercenaries.
Something seemed off so we split the team...
Split the team?
Yes.
We had a ranger stationed a bit further away just in case.
I believe he is heading toward E-Rantel as we speak.
Then, that scream a bit ago!
Shit! Children...
Consume every human in that forest!
I let two humans escape! Lord Ains will definitely scold me!
They were defeated?
That one is... strong?
Use it!
You're in the way!
Lady Kaire!
Shalltear Bloodfallen has revolted against us.
Master Source, Open.
Shalltear Bloodfallen
So this is why
you believe Shalltear has revolted against us?
I checked after we lost contact with her and found this anomaly.
It seems the vampire brides that were with her have both perished.
What are the chances that Shalltear has died as well?
Unfortunately, if that were the case, her name would disappear
and leave an empty space behind for some time.
She's right. In Yggdrasil, this status marker means a third party
has used mind control and temporarily turned our NPC into an enemy.
But, that's impossible.
Since Shalltear is undead, she has a skill to nullify mind control.
In this world,
there are talents and martial arts that do not exist in Yggdrasil.
Is there a possibility she is under such influence?
I do not know.
However, it does not change the fact that she has revolted.
I suggest sending a hunting party after her immediately.
I will lead our forces.
Cocytus and Mare will join me as vice-commanders.
Considering Shalltear's strength, at least this much is necessary.
No, I feel we are being too hasty.
We must confirm her reason for revolting first.
If this can happen to the other NPCs,
I'll have to find out how, and a way to counter it,
or Nazarick will crumble!
If she betrayed us because she is dissatisfied with me
or our treatment of her, I can understand.
Dissatisfied?!
I cannot allow any trash that thinks that
of the merciful Lord Ains to live!
Calm down, Albedo.
The personalities of you NPCs were created by my old comrades.
All your good and bad qualities were created with their hearts.
I love all of you because of that.
So if Shalltear betrayed me because of
Love. Love. Love.
Peroroncino-san's will...
Love. Love. Love.
Love! Love!
Hey, Albedo. All of you. I meant all of you.
B-But you love me as well! Isn't that right?
U-Uh, w-well, that's true.
N-No, like I said...
Lord Ains! Me! Me! He loves me!
Anyways, first, we must find Shalltear!
Don't you give me your love and passion?
(Believe in love, even though there're borders and disturbances and more)
(I'm the only one who loves you because I'm crazy about you)
Let's ride to hell, I'll serve you and go
If it means we can be together, I wish we could die
Beyond the line there is no ending
I swear, I'm gonna be so fxxking grateful
Blessing word, you are supreme
I follow your orders loyally, your highness
You give orders, I won't give you to anyone
You are the most treasured existence
You don't know why my love is crying
I want to adhere, to the point of excessiveness
I want eternity, don't wanna cry
I'm about to go crazy with my jealous delusions
Don't you give me your love and passion?
Love is a riotous impulse, let go
Instinct over spirit, I demand more of your heart
I don't want to live in a world without you
Any future other than you, kill it, kill it
I would be happy to kill it for my love
(I'm imagining now, if you're mine.)
(It's like a paradise and haven and more)
(You're the only man who I love in my life and destiny and all)
Don't you give me your love and passion?
I know the border. It should be wrecked, go!
