The plot changes very quickly, and each action can have some impact and make the plot go in strange directions.

Hiiragi is now investigating Ainz's recent movements to find out if he was involved in that incident.

- Shatia was turned into a neutral NPC by the world-class item [Alluring Country], and then in order to save Shatia, Anz returned to the Great Tomb of Nazaric to take out a world-class item of the same level to fight against her, and then killed Shatia and resurrected her.

The reason why a guardian of the level of Shatiya is turned into a neutral NPC is also because the user (cheongsam old woman) who has the world-class item of [Alluring Country and Alluring City] is the elite of the Sect, and Shatiya can be said to have been sneak attacked.

However, the other party did not eat any good fruits, and was still severely injured by Shatia, which proves how strong the guardians of the Great Tomb of Nazaric really are.

In order to understand how far the plot of this world has developed now, it is necessary to secretly follow Ainz around.

It's just that Anz is a super high-level magician, and it is easy to figure out the surrounding situation by probing magic, and Hiiragi will also be exposed at that time.

Although there are props in this world that can hide their figures, Hiiragi doesn't have the means and way to get into that kind of props, which makes Hiiragi somewhat troubled.

In addition, it is also possible to communicate with them directly, after all, as long as you can talk, you can figure out what Ainz wants to do lately based on what he has said.

But then again, what kind of reason should Hiiragi find to contact him?

Ainz doesn't trust Hiiragi, and Hiiragi doesn't trust Ainz either. Even if both of them are the same traverser.

Hiiragi also gives priority to himself and Nagi and the task. Ainz is based on the guild [Ainz. Your. Gong] is preferred.

That's why. Hiiragi is also in a dilemma for the time being......

In the midst of such a situation, an unexpected thing happened at the same time.

At this moment, let's talk about the story a few hours before the incident.

Edith, an elf girl who joined Hiiragiya's team as a companion. Philippa. Harris was dressed as a maid.

The maid costume was bought by Xiao Nagi from the market, and I heard from the shopkeeper that after a certain nobleman went bankrupt, he sold his furniture and belongings, so it was circulated in such a place.

All in all, Hiiragi is also a man with a maid.

But this does not mean that this is a good thing, there will always be trouble and inconvenience when there are more people.

Originally, when I got up in the morning, I would see Xiao Nagi's face. Now you can see a blonde elf cleaning the room.

Normally, however, Edith wears a headscarf to hide her elven ears.

Bending down, hunched back, holding a towel under the table, the scenery under the skirt can be seen unobstructed.

Sure enough, if the elf is pure white? But a seductive elf isn't a bad thing either.

In other words, elves are originally existence with a certain charm, right?

"Ahem, ahem...... Miss Edith, your ......"

"Good morning, Lord Nangong, do you have any instructions? The tea is already brewed. ”

"There's nothing for you to do, just ......"

"Just?"

The fairy girl who turned her head under the table looked confused, her golden hair sliding down her cheeks, and it seemed that she really didn't know.

"Uh-meow~Good morning~ Sure enough, the elf is going to be pure white!"

Xiao Nagi, who had just gotten up, said Hiiragi's inner words.

"Oops? …… I'm sorry! ”

Edith, whose face turned red, tried to stand up. As a result, he hit his head under the table and knocked over the teacup on it.

Rubbing his head a little awkwardly. The elf girl who crawled out pulled the hem of her skirt and knelt on the ground with a flushed face.

"I'm so sorry, I, I didn't mean to."

"Don't worry, Xiao is also the kind of man who will never be angry with a girl who has 'seen a fat time' and 'rubbed her breasts'."

"Don't insult the word man, and I'm not that kind of person."

Maybe it's because she was unequally abused when she came here, so Edith behaved cautiously and looked scared.

"Edith, since we are companions, don't care about these details."

"Oh? Do you want to take a bath together? I'm okay with that, Edith-chan, what about you? ”

Hey?

Edith, who was asked, was stunned for a moment, and then replied in a hesitant manner

"That...... This one...... It's not impossible...... But ......"

Hiiragi didn't pay attention to Nagi's nonsense, and took out the cleaning utensils.

Because of the relationship between the full level, Hiiragi also feels full of strength from beginning to end of the day.

"No, no, you don't need Lord Nangong to clean up, I'll just come."

"I'll leave it to you."

"Yes, I see, I'll make the tea again."

"After that, ......"

Hiiragi also looked at the sky outside, the weather was fine today, and he didn't know what Ainz was doing.

Do you want to go to the streets to gather intelligence? Take the bounty from the previous quest, and maybe run into Ainz as well.

Hiiragi, who was ready to make a plan, asked Nagi and Edith to prepare, and he went out to buy some breakfast.

Breakfast is also available, but occasionally you will want a change of taste.

Most of the breakfast shops outside are filled with milk, fried cakes, and steamed buns, so Hiiragi bought some casually.

Hiiragi, who came to the outside of the room, heard the noise inside, and the footsteps were frequent, and he didn't know what he was doing.

"I'm back...... ......"

Pushing open the door, there were two women inside, just like before.

Nagi, who is older, is forcing Edith to change into another dress, so she takes off all her maid outfits.

It's a blonde and young elf girl who looks cute. Naked ......

White skin, slender body, pitiful eyes, this is the elf's ...... It's fascinating.

"Poof!"

"Don't come in now, Xiaoya!"

Then he was kicked out.

To be able to see the real half at once. Nude blonde elf. It's worth the kick......

The three of them had breakfast afterwards. Go out and gather intel and claim mission bounties.

On the street heading to the Adventurer's Guild. I ran into a few slave traders passing by.

A wagon with goods at the back of them was covered with a heavy quilt and prepared to rest at a hotel not far away.

Hiiragi also searched for Ainz, thinking that he should come to collect the bounty today.

"What's wrong? Edith? ”

One of the two people walking behind her, Nagi asks Edith who has stopped.

Edith looked at the slave trader's carriage, and her brow immediately changed back to her previous expression, and then she shook her head.

"It's okay, what are we going to do now?"

"Shopping and gathering information, of course."

Hiiragi also knocked Nagi on the head and told her to remove the previous option.

Arrived at the main entrance of the Adventurer's Guild. Hiiragi also lets Nagi and Edith stand outside.

Of course, they can also go to different taverns to gather information about what has happened to Lantil recently, and he only needs to do it alone to collect the bounty.

Due to the previous events, not only Anz, but Hiiragi's name is also known to everyone.

As soon as he entered the Adventurer's Guild, everyone's eyes fell on Hiiragi.

"There are so many people......

Except for a few adventurers who also came to collect the bounty, most of them were lively guys.

Even if Hiiragi and Ainz didn't mention it, the surviving adventurers would have said it, and it would have spread anyway.

"That's the people in the two steel teams that participated in the previous Divine Flame Dragon Raid, remember it's called ......"

"It's Nangong Hiiragi and Momola. I remember that they were all accompanied by a beautiful woman. ”

"They're all new adventurers, aren't they? Is there something greasy in there? ”

"It's the Mithril adventurers who tell the story, how can they all be bought...... And even Charles, who was sent by the kingdom, proved it. ”

After receiving a high bounty at the counter. Hiiragi also quickly left the guild.

After all, if there is no Ainz in the guild, it will lose the value of staying there.

Some people's eyes follow Hiiragi until they leave, and even in another world, there are guys who like to gossip.

"Why are people gone......"

Didn't see Nagi and Edith, did you go to the tavern?

Carrying the money bag and preparing to go back, just as Hiiragi also turned around, he saw a flash of gold in the corner of his eye.

It's a golden thread, like hair.

Curious, Hiiragi avoided the speeding carriage and walked towards the corner where the blonde hair had disappeared.

Turning a corner, in the hallway of a closed shop, I saw Edith holding a staff and talking to a man.

With a turban on her face, there was a hint of nervousness and a hint of sadness on her face, and the man opposite touched her chin, then shook his head.

Seeing the other person shaking his head, Edith's shoulders trembled and she took out a bag from her arms.

Is it gold coins in it?

I saw her put the bag in front of the man, and the other party opened it very annoyingly.

"Ah......h

Edith watched as the bag fell to the ground, and the gold coins inside were scattered with a clatter.

Judging by the number, there are about 100 pieces.

Hiiragi also went to collect a thousand coins just now, and the rest are stored in the Chamber of Commerce.

Even so, a hundred is not a small number.

"I told you, that's not going to work!"

"But...... Please......! ”

Edith picked up the gold coins that had been spilled on the ground and grabbed the hem of the man's clothes.

"We don't do business with people here, and you don't have enough money."

"I'll pay you back, now that I'm teaming up with a very powerful adventurer, I'll definitely pay you back."

"Let go, I still have very important things to do!"

Listening to their conversation, Hiiragi also walked over to pick up the gold coins that had fallen to the ground with Edith.

"Ahh That one...... Nangong Lord ......"

"I heard it all, what happened?"

Edith, who was questioned by Hiiragi, stopped her hand and bit her lip.

"Please don't be angry."

"It depends on what the problem is."

"The merchant, the slave trader's carriage is my companion."

"Oh? Why is it so certain? ”

"It's the breath, we elves and humans have different breaths, there are three in total, it is estimated that they were arrested by humans without being sheltered."

Hiiragi is also very clear that there are alien beings who treat humans as slaves, and there are humans who treat aliens as slaves.

Leaving Edith to pick up the gold coins in place, Hiiragi catches up with the slave trader who is about to leave.

"You give me a wait."

"Huh? What else? ”

"And then."

He smashed a thousand gold coins in his hand on the slave trader's chest.

The weight of the gold coin almost overwhelmed it, which made the slave trader panic for a moment, and looked at Hiiragi and said loudly

"How, how!"

"I want your goods."

"Huh? Who are you? And this thing is...... Kindness? All of them, gold? ”

"How, do you want to make this deal?"

“…… Well, by the way, our goods are very expensive, and they have to be given to the nobles of the city near the east, so ......"

Businessmen are always so cunning that they want to take advantage of this to make more money.

Hiiragi grabbed him by the hem of his shirt as well.

"Listen, you have one more chance, I don't know what the price of slaves is, but you'd better give an exact and reasonable price."

"That's, that's it...... We have a contract, plus liquidated damages, a total of 3,000 gold coins!! ”

It's too expensive, isn't it?

Sensing Edith's gaze behind her, Hiiragi let go of the slave trader's clothes in front of her.

"I'll pay for the money, but first look at the goods in your mouth."

The merchant hurriedly packed the money in his box and then took Hiiragi to his hotel.

"That...... Lord Nangong, I'll go too! ”

Raising his right hand, Hiiragi didn't let Edith go with him.

Because in Hiiragi's field of vision, Nagi appeared, so I hope she acts with Nagi.

Now that she has become a companion, Hiiragi also thinks that it is not good to let Edith see her companion directly, so she made such a decision.

Hiiragi also beckoned Nagi over and asked her to accompany Edith.

"Well, those are elves."

"You already knew?"

"It's not like I've known for a long time, it's just a guess, because Edith-chan showed that expression, so it's really dull to say that Xiao is really dull in this aspect."

Hiiragi thinks he's still good at observing, but he still misses out on some important information.

Instead of wasting any more time here, Hiiragi went separate from them, and he followed the slave trader to a certain hotel.

The inn looked luxurious, but when it came to the stable at the back, the smell of fishy and dirt mixed with it ran into the nostrils.

"Over here."

Next to the stables is where the carriages are placed.

The slave trader uncovered the quilt covering the carriage, revealing inside a elf with long blond hair and two long-light black hair.

All three elves were tied hand and foot, their eyes were blindfolded, and their mouths were shouting cloth balls to prevent them from speaking.

He was dressed in a thin cloth and dirty.

These are Edith's elven companions, who also seem to have been mistreated to varying degrees.

So, what to do? (To be continued.) )
