———————— [Gentlemen! Happy New Year! 】————————

"Mr. Momo, they have surrendered, I don't think there is any need to take their lives......"

Charles said this at this moment, and sure enough, he was a knight.

Hiiragi also personally admires those knights who pay attention to chivalry, because they are more handsome and courageous than ordinary people.

Knights are heroic and noble representatives in Western culture.

Even in the East, chivalry is not a shameful thing.

It's just that the current situation is not as simple as imagined, and Ainz does not seem to plan to let them go.

"Please, please spare Hudson......"

"Give me a good reason."

"He actually takes good care of us, and it's because of his money addiction that he would do such a stupid thing."

"Oh?"

The person who helped Hudson intercede was the blonde girl with a headscarf.

Seeing that Ainz didn't agree, she turned to Hiiragi with tears in her eyes.

Kneeling on the ground, she bowed her head in front of Hiiragi.

"Please let Lord Momo spare Hudson, I'm willing to do anything!"

"I don't have the right to order him, but ......"

Hiiragi also looked at Hudson, who was lying on the ground and was dying.

"Even if we don't kill him, this guy probably won't survive anyway, unless there are people with high-level healing professions here."

Ainz put away his greatsword, his hands on his hips in thought.

"Forget it, it's okay to arrange it like this, and I'll handle the rest."

That's it. Hudson was left where the team was. The rest of the guys who surrendered were also taken away by Ainz.

Ainz probably brought their reason for experimentation......

It's more than experimenting with monsters. His goal is to experiment with humans on special skills and to create armies of death.

After all, high-level golems need high-level creatures, and humans, gifted creatures, can easily be used to create death armies.

After a few minutes of silence for those who had died, Hiiragi and the others returned to Rantir with the rest of the adventurers.

Most of the adventurers' teams were disbanded, and only one or two remained.

The payment would be agreed to after three days, so now they are all separated to do their own business, as well as the funeral of their companions......

But the average adventurer doesn't have a funeral, because the profession is so dangerous and turbulent.

And the blonde girl who interceded for Hudson was behind Hiiragi and Nagi.

“…… Nagi. You think about it. ”

"Isn't that bad? The other party is a cute girl. ”

"It's not like you don't know the next plot."

Next, Shatia has become a neutral NPC because of the world-class item [Alluring Country], and Ainz will fight it, kill it, and then resurrect it.

Hiiragi is already planning to change his plans.

After the battle between Ainz and Shatia, Hiiragi also plans to take advantage of the situation and defeat Ainz so that he can take him to the bottom of Nassarik's tomb.

If this plan fails, Hiiragi will also read the archive and change his own arrangement.

“…………”

Hiiragi also stopped on the way back to the hotel, and turned to look at the blonde girl who was secretly following the two people.

Although she used magic to hide her aura, it was easy to spot......

"What do you want?"

"Yes. Discovered? My team was disbanded...... So...... That ......"

"We are not recruiting new ...... right now"

Hiiragi was interrupted by Nagi before he finished speaking.

"No, let's go to the hotel first!"

…………

So the group of three returned to the hotel.

Nagi asked the blonde girl to sit on a stool. She was standing in front of her.

Immediately afterward, Xiao Nai circled behind her again.

"Hey."

Xiao Nai directly ripped off the blonde girl's headscarf.

Hiiragiya originally wanted to tell her not to mess around, but she saw what the blonde girl was hiding under her headscarf.

"Oh-oh-oh?"

"Xiao is also interested, right?"

"Of course, it's the first time I've seen it since I came to this world."

What the blonde girl hides beneath her turban is a pair of elf-like pointed ears.

No wonder the color of her pupils is a little strange, it turns out to be an elf.

"Huh?! Yes, I'm sorry! ”

Immediately covering her ears, the blonde girl knocked over the bench and ran to the corner.

Shivering, her face turned pale.

"I didn't mean to, I'll leave right away."

"No, I won't let you go."

Xiao Nagi's words made the elf girl panic.

On the one hand, he wants to fight, but on the other hand, he is too scared to act.

"Ah, it's not the bad side, don't worry, we won't tell anyone about the fact that you're an elf."

"Huh? Are you sure? ”

"I know that some people can accept subhuman races, and some people don't."

IN YGGDRASIL, HOWEVER, THERE ARE COUNTRIES THAT TREAT HUMANS AS SLAVES, AND THEN SUBHUMANS TAKE POWER.

The relieved elf girl knelt on the ground in disbelief.

"My full name is Edith. Philippa. Harris, after his hometown was invaded by orcs, had to come to a human town to survive...... The elves were already very good at magic, so they became a magician. ”

"But there's no way a subhuman can easily pass the test, right?"

"At that time, there was Mr. Hudson's help...... But he's ......"

"I see."

Xiao Nai nodded understandingly.

"In that case, why don't you go find that Momo?"

"He, that Mr. Momo, is probably not human...... Although it was just my guess. ”

Hiiragi, who listened to the conversation between the two, also lifted his spirits.

Do elven races have the ability to tell if they are human?

But as long as Ainz wants to hide his aura, as a highest-level undead, he can definitely use props to achieve this purpose.

"So, you want to join us?"

Xiao Nagi asked, putting her elbow against Hiiragi's abdomen to keep him from showing a terrible expression.

Hearing Xiao Nagi's inquiry, Edith's eyes lit up.

"Really? I'm just an orichal-level adventurer...... And it's more about relying on other people to get to such a level......"

Edith's level is around level twenty, and she is barely qualified as Xiao Nagi's bodyguard, and Xiao Nagi also likes her appearance.

In the later episodes, Hiiragi only needs Nagi to try to make a plan, and does not need Nagi to participate in the battle.

Edith was originally an orichal-level adventurer, and ordinary people could deal with it.

In addition, Edith is a rare subhuman race, an elven race, and it looks very interesting.

The reason why she didn't go anywhere else was because she was worried about being discovered, right? So I chose the strongest Hiiragi here, and I plan to take a gamble.

So be it, it doesn't hurt to stay around.

So Hiiragi also made this decision, and his teammates +1. (To be continued.) )
