The day Albedo left for the Re-Estize Kingdom was sunny. Ainz was in the yard of his residence to see her off.

There was a line of five luxurious carriages. The one Albedo was riding in had her luggage in it. Of the others, one was filled with presents for the king. They were gifts meant to show the power disparity between the kingdom and the Nation of Darkness. Twenty-six Death Cavaliers created by Ainz surrounded the procession.

It would have been simpler to use Teleport to travel, but that wasn’t the method they chose.

Part of Albedo’s mission was to show off the might of the Nation of Darkness. That was why she used monsters instead of horses to pull the carriages—it was a demonstration.

“Well then, Lord Ainz. I’ll be away for a little while.”

“Right, be careful. We haven’t found the guys who brainwashed Shalltear. We can’t rule out the possibility that they might be plotting to mind control you and deal massive damage to Nazarick.”

“Of course, my lord. I’ll make sure not to let this leave my person.”

She cradled a World Item.

“With that, you should be safe from World Item brainwashing, but we don’t know for sure that what our opponent has is a World Item. And in the first place, don’t forget that although it’s the strongest anti-material World Item, it isn’t terribly useful against personnel.”

“Is that true? My main weapon is a portable version of this that looks different…”

“It’s not as powerful as a specialized god-tier weapon. Well, considering that it can’t be broken and won’t degrade, it is quite strong, but you know. My point is: Don’t let your guard down because you’re strong. Not that I think you would make that sort of mistake, Albedo.”

Come to think of it, Ainz had never sent Albedo outside before.

He had always stationed her in Nazarick to protect the rear. So Ainz was worried in much the same way he would be sending a child on their first errand.

“Stay wary. Don’t let your guard down. If anything seems even the slightest bit dangerous, withdraw at once. Do you have a teleportation item? Some of them take time to activate. Do you have one that allows you to move instantaneously? Some enemies have attacks that prevent teleportation. Have you decided how you’ll deal with those? Some enemies will distract you with a decoy and sneak up on you. Don’t get tricked by your enemies’ strengths. I heard you’ve been doing some combat training so you’ll be able to handle more, but you still have a lot to learn. And besides that…”

Wishing he had given the same advice to Shalltear before he sent her out, he considered how he would fight her if he was the PKer, all the while speaking rapid-fire.

How many different attacks had he explained? He realized that Albedo was looking at him awfully happily. Then he came back to his senses with a start.

What a terribly embarrassing way to act.

Ainz cleared his throat.

“Let’s leave it at that.
