"Nfirea, this is Aura Bella Fiora, the Guardian of the Sixth Floor of Nazarick; she is Bukubukuchagama's creation."
He nodded his head, looking at Aura, who was staring at him curiously. She certainly looked like she was in the anime, and she reminded him of that pink slime.
"Chagama, huh? Well, I can certainly see her in you."
"Even though I know you are a friend of the Supreme Being, it is still irritating hearing you call my creator casually. Anyway, nice to meet you."
Aura's brow furrowed in displeasure, but she still offered her hand in greeting, and he accepted it with a grin on his face.
"Yes, nice to meet you too, kid."
Aura pouted cutely; she ignored him and then turned toward Ainz with a bright smile on her face.
"Lord Ainz! I already investigated the forest and found the beasts you wanted! What should I do about it?"
"Bring them here; I am curious about what kind of creature this Wise King of the Forest is."
"Alright! I will bring it to you immediately!"
Aura disappeared from her spot; she agilely jumped from tree to tree and vanished deep into the forest.
On the way here, Ainz told him his purpose of being an adventurer is to gain fame and collect information. He totally forgot to mention the hamster on the way to Carne, so he casually said that if he tamed the Wise King of the Forest, he would get famous.
"By the way, Nfirea."
"Hmm?"
He tilted his head while looking at Ainz questioningly, hearing the strange tone in his voice.
"You researched a lot of things since you were reborn in this world, right?"
"Yes, what about it?"
"Um, do you mind sharing your research with me?"
Hearing the hesitation in Ainz's voice, he smiled. He didn't really mind sharing some of his research, but he should get some benefit from it as well.
"I don't mind, as long as you give me some help and assistance."
"That's understandable. I'll send some materials you want, and one of the Pleiades and some homunculus maids to assist you."
"Oh, that would certainly be helpful. I also want to study to create a homunculus after all."
He smiled thankfully toward Ainz, but in the inside he grinned evilly as he imagined the perverted things he would do to them in the future.
"Oh, right! Almost forgot..."
He confusedly looked at Ainz when he suddenly took something from his inventory and threw it toward him.
"What is this?"
He tilted his head, looking at the bag in his hand. When he opened it, his eyes widened in amazement seeing the accessories inside. Even without appraising them, he could tell that they were all high-grade items.
"It's basic protection for you, like anti-death, time, or mental attack equipment."
He stared back at Ainz in shock. Although it's basic protection for high-ranking players, it's something really rare in this world. While he has some protection with similar effects, most of them are just resistance or limited-use items.
"Are you sure you want to give it to me?"
"Yeah, you are my friend after all. I can't let you die easily if we encounter high-level enemies. You can also think of it as early payment for your research."
Ainz casually waved his hand to him to not worry. He smiled gratefully toward him; he immediately switched his old equipment with the one Ainz gave him.
After equipping all the accessories, he turned toward Ainz with a wide smile spread on his face and said,
"Thank you, Bone Daddy. You are the best."
Ainz, despite being undead, flinched when he called him that.
"Don't call me that, please, or there will be a misunderstanding."
"Like what?"
"Like..."
Ainz suddenly paused while glancing at Nabe, who stared at him intensely. Ainz then sighed while rubbing his temple tiredly.
"Anyway, just don't call me that nickname."
"Ha-ha-ha-ha, sure."
He laughed without any remorse, and he felt Ainz glaring at him for that.
After several minutes of waiting while joking around, he could feel a tremor in the ground as if something big was currently rushing toward them.
After a moment, the tremor suddenly stopped, and a long tail with green scales rushed out of the tree, approaching them. Ainz jumped and blocked it with his two great swords, making the screeching sound of metal hitting each other.
The tail then swished back among the trees while a majestic voice echoed around them.
"That is really impressive for you to block my tail, that is."
"That is? Anyway, quit hiding and show yourself. Are you afraid to face me?"
"Fine! Tremble and look in awe at my majestic form! That is!"
The hamster slowly revealed herself intimidatingly, but Ainz just grumbled in disappointment at her appearance.
After that, Ainz exchanged some attacks with the hamster, and he finished the fight with Despair Aura, making the hamster fall onto her back and submit to Ainz by showing her belly toward him.
Seeing Ainz tame the hamster while naming her Hamsuke, he would make sure to have her ride the hamster later. He let out a silent chuckle, imagining the funny scene of a grown man riding a giant hamster.
After thinking about how to embarrass Ainz, he turned toward him while smiling lightly and said.
"So, Momon, how are we going to go back? Do you want me to teleport us to E-Rantel, or do you want to walk back toward the city?"
"Now that I think about it, I remember Sword of Darkness introduced you as a 4th-tier magic caster. Is it alright to reveal that you can use [Teleportation]?"
"It's fine. I am on the cusp of 6th tier, so I am planning to announce to the magician guild that I am a user of 5th-tier magic."
"Hmm, is there a reason why you hide your power?"
He furrowed his brow, remembering the reason he hid his power. At first, he thought it made sense at the time to hide his power because he was still weak when that incident happened, but now he thought that it was really a stupid move when he was already this powerful.
"Well, my family member was killed because apparently I am too talented, so I became the target of assassination."
"Uh, I am sorry."
"There is nothing to be sorry about, Momon. I have already moved on from it."
Hearing the guilt in his tone, he smiled widely to assure him. He was not exactly bluffing to hide his emotions; after all, he had already lived several lifetimes, so losing someone was not that big of a deal for him.
Besides, while his grandma was kind toward him, after seeing that he was an independent kid, she usually left him alone to do alchemy, so he was not really that close to her.
"Anyway, what do you choose, Momon?"
"Hmm... let's go back to the city with [Teleportation]. It will be late at night when we arrive in the city if we walk."
"Got it, we will immediately use [Teleportation] after I talk with the Emmot family."
"Okay, let's go back to the village."
After that, we went back to the village with the giant hamster following us from behind. Of course, they gathered rare herbs from the hamster territory before that.
"◇"
Sitting on the sofa while his arm was hugged by a happily smiling Enri, he smiled seeing the difference between the previous her and the current one. He guessed her shyness was now gone after he took her virginity.
While enjoying Enri's modest breasts on his arm, he explained that he was going back to E-Rantel using teleportation with Enri and Ray in the guest room.
"So Ray, are you going back with me while bringing Enri and Nemu, or are you going to stay?"
Ray thought for a moment before she turned toward him and said, "Hmm, if I follow Master and bring my daughter, what about the goblin?"
"I can just tell the higher-ups in E-Rantel that they were summoned by the magic item I gave Enri, which should allow them to enter the city."
"Wait! If I bring the goblin along, what about this village? Not to mention the Wise King of the Forest leaving from its territory; it would make this village defenseless."
Enri said in concern while glancing at him and Ray.
To be honest, he didn't really care about this village, but to Enri, this village held significance for her because this is where she grew up.
After thinking for a moment, he got an idea and immediately said it, "How about I make the teleportation circle?"
"Teleportation circle?"
Enri asked back while tilting her head in confusion, and Ray immediately spoke from across the table and explained it to her with an expression kind of like a teacher teaching her student.
"Teleportation circle is, as the name implies, a way to make a person move instantly from one place to another by drawing a teleportation magic circle on suitable material."
"Oooohhh! That is amazing! So Nfi, you can teleport!?"
He nodded his head while turning to Enri with a smirk on his face.
"Hmm, that's right, isn't your boyfriend amazing?"
"Yes! That's really amazing! You are so great!"
He puffed his chest up while smiling smugly as Enri hugged him tighter while looking up at him with sparkling eyes.
"Ahem! That's enough boasting, master."
He turned toward Ray, who narrowed her eyes at them. Meanwhile, Enri looked toward her mother with sharp eyes, and he could see some spark in the center where their eyes met.
"Hmph! Mere maid should just stay silent and not bother the master from talking."
He noticed Ray's eyebrow twitch when Enri said that; she then raised herself and sat beside him while hugging his other arm as she narrowed her eyes at Enri with a smug expression.
"It seems you are getting conceited, my daughter. You think you can please the master with your modest breasts?"
When Ray said that, she rubbed her voluptuous breasts up and down on his arm while smirking at Enri. Meanwhile, Enri gritted her teeth seeing that and glared toward her mother while sticking her body closer to him.
Seeing the beautiful mother and daughter trying to get his affection, he let out a pleased smile and relaxed his body while enjoying the feeling of their soft bodies on him.
After looking at and enjoying their banter for several minutes, he decided that it was enough playing around, and he opened his mouth to stop them.
"Enough, you two. Both of you are mine; no need to fight to get a piece of me."
He kissed their lips one by one after he said that, and the two of them calmed down with their cheeks reddened.
"Anyway, I will go back to my home to get some material to make a teleportation magic circle. Meanwhile, you should tell our situation to Enri, Ray."
"As you wish, master."
Seeing her bow her head in obedience toward him, he nodded his head, feeling pleased.
After that, he talked to the two of them for a while before he went out of the house to meet Ainz and the others. He then used [Teleportation] to get them back to E-Rantel instantly.
