"I will scout the surroundings, remain on standby here."

"Al ow me to escort you!"

"No need, I am just looking around the near vicinity. If possible, I want to visit the rumored vast cemetery... I’m leaving you here to prevent others from

trespassing. Don't let down your guard and stay alert. We shouldn't have made

any mistakes, but this is enemy territory, so be vigilant."

"By your command."

"I will leave the periodic report to you."

Narberal let out a deep sigh after Ainz left the room.

She then massaged the corner of her eyes, her sharp eyes drooping down

weakly, she looked exhausted. Even her pony tail looked flaccid and lifeless.

But she stil remembered the orders of her esteemed master.

Narberal concentrated intensely, trying to learn more about the situation outside,

but as a magic chanter she lacked the craftiness of thieves. To make up for it,

she used one of the skil s she was proficient in.

"."

With the activation of the spell, a pair of cute rabbit ears sprouted from the top of

Narberal's head. The ears trembled as they listened to the sounds around her.

This was one of the three rabbit spells, which were dubbed ‘rabbit magic’ by

YGGDRASIL players. The others spells were called , which

increased the luck stat, and , which slightly decreased enemy

aggression towards the caster. The appearance of female characters would

change if all three were activated at the same time, making this magic very

popular. But since there was no need for the other two spells, Narberal didn't

use them.

Most of Narberal's magic belonged to the combat variation, but this was one of

the few exceptions.

After listening to her surroundings and making sure it was safe, she activated

the spell. Immediately, a sweet, female voice could be heard in

Narberal's head. It was as if her call had been expected.

"Narberal Gamma, you have something to report to me?"

"Yes, it's the periodic report."

Right now, Narberal was talking to the Overseer of the Great Tomb of Nazarick,

Albedo.

After reporting everything, Narberal finally talked about things the other party

wanted to hear.

"Ainz-sama mentioned Albedo-sama, saying that 'other than her, there was no

one else he trusted this much'."

"Fuhu───!"

A weird scream of excitement ringed in Narberal's mind.

"Very good~ very good~ Narberal is a good girl! Carry on advertising for me like

this! This is an order from the Nazarick's overseer!"

Question marks appeared on top of Narberal's head, who thought ' Is something

like this worth issuing an order?''. Thinking about it calmly, this was a contest

that would determine who would serve the Overlord. That way, an order like this

was completely natural.

While Narberal was pondering this, Albedo’s excited voice could be heard again:

"With Shalltear out on a mission, I wil use this chance to leisurely bridge the

distance between me and Ainz-sama! It might be a difficult fort to conquer, but

by attacking in waves it wil eventually fall after taking a beachhead! When that

glorious day comes, Shalltear wil shed tears of regret!"

Albedo's gleeful shouting made Narberal frown. Even Narberal was getting

annoyed listening to such agitated noises.

With a cheerful voice and skipping steps, Albedo droned on about what she

planned to do next time and how things should be. She suddenly asked calmly:

"Why are all of you helping me? What is the reason you chose me over

Shalltear? Is there something you want?"

"This is a simple question. If you ask me who is more suited to be seated next to Ainz-sama, Shalltear-sama or Albedo-sama, I wil definitely answer Albedo-sama."

"Fuhu───! Fantastic. I didn't expect you to be someone who thinks about the

future of Nazarick, impressive."

"And Yuri-nee is not good in dealing with Shalltear-sama."

"Oh, Yuri Alpha. I see... that’s true. Are the others on my team too?"

Not just vice-captain Yuri Alpha, the rest of her comrades popped into Narberal's

mind as wel :

"That’s uncertain. Lupus Raytina is on Albedo-sama's team, but Solution is on

Shalltear's side. Insect Queen and Shizu are unknown, probably sitting on the

fence."

"Is there any way to recruit Solution?"

"That would be very difficult, since her interests are similar to Shalltear-sama’s."

"Oh I see... What a low class hobby."

Narberal agreed with Albedo, unable to understand Solution Epsilon's interests

and tilted her head.

Except for one man, all humans were lowly scum, but she didn't take joy in

bullying them. But she would kil them if they got in her way, and would go out of

her way to finish the job. But she wouldn't kil humans intentionally.

"There's no choice. Let's hurry and pull the other girls into my camp. First wil be Insect Queen and Shizu."

That shouldn't be a problem. Solution and Insect Queen like to treat humans as

food. If we get Insect Queen to join Albedo-sama's side, Solution might become

our ally as wel ."
